I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 328: Number 21

The reason people in the city were willing to rotate into the game was because the review group would provide a guide.

As long as there was a guide, although the game still carried risks, the chance of clearing the level was high, and upon completion, players would receive valuable items. That’s why everyone was willing to cooperate with the rules set out by the organization.

But who would be willing to enter those games with a high death rate and without a guide?

If no one played the game, the game would move to populated areas, disrupting the hard-earned peace in the city! Then everyone would once again lose their homes!

“Who’s scheduled for the 21st? Let those people play.” Someone suggested.

The twenty-three games around the city all operated on a rotation system, and Game No.21, ‘Hide and Seek,’ was no exception.

Everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Professor Song surveyed the room, his face expressionless, and said, “The people who entered Game No.21 last week have all turned into dolls. The same thing happened the week before that, and the week before that too… If this continues, sooner or later it will be your turn, yours, or yours… It will be all of our turns! Therefore, I believe, to tackle this game, we must gather the best talents we currently have in the base! Increasing the success rate is the only way to ensure the survival rate of all of us!”

When he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, looking at one another.

Everyone understood the logic, but who would be the first to bite the bullet?

…That’s not right. Many people have already bitten the bullet before, but they all died.

Someone raised their voice: “We understood what the Professor said, but this ‘Hide and Seek’ is unusually sinister. You think highly of us and consider us to be the best talents in the base, so let me say something presumptuous: If all of us, these so-called talents, die in this game, do you think there would be any hope left for this base?”Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children’s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys(.)c0m

Chu Huaijin stepped forward: “Everyone, there’s no need to deny this rashly. We invited you here today not to force you into the game, but to discuss a solution. After all, every day we delay, there’s one day less. A week… no, in six days, if no one clears ‘Hide and Seek,’ we will probably have to evacuate.”

But no one knew what sort of game they’d encounter after the evacuation.

The twenty-odd games near the current base might not seem like many, but the stability they provided was bought at the cost of blood.

Would they have to abandon this hard-won stability because of just one game?

Chu Huaijin surveyed the expressions of everyone present and opened his mouth again: “Of course, I hope that someone can volunteer to take on this responsibility. I know that in addition to completing assigned tasks, you usually form teams on your own to enter other games. Now, all the top players in the base are here. A strong alliance is more reliable than any guide. Besides, difficult games often come with high-value items… What do you think?”

The room fell silent again.

After a while, Professor Song broke the silence:

“Whoever can survive ‘Hide and Seek,’ I’m willing to offer, in my personal capacity, the eight puzzle pieces I own.”

As soon as his words fell, the room became restless.

“Although the puzzle pieces have been used, I know someone is offering a safety-ensuring item that lasts 36 hours in exchange for 10 pieces,” Professor Song said solemnly. “What do you think? Consider this, you only need to gather 2 more pieces to trade for this high-level item, and I believe that for you, finding those two pieces is not difficult.”

Some glanced at Bai Youwei.

Bai Youwei responded generously: “That’s right. I’m the person who wants to trade puzzle pieces. My Substitute Doll can absorb all damages for the user for 36 hours. Whoever gives me 10 puzzle pieces, I’ll give them the doll. But~ no counterfeits, please”
