Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Shen Mo and Bai Youwei went through the dollhouse again.

Apart from the house becoming more intelligent, the layout and furnishings were basically the same as before. However, all the dolls were gone, the books in the study were gone, and the only clothing left in the closet was the black Lolita dress that Bai Youwei had worn.

Presumably, it was because the current dollhouse only recognized one master.

They went out the front door and found themselves back in the tent.

Going out the back door led to the hillside outside the dollhouse. Walking down the hill led to the woods, and walking forward would circle around to the front door of the house.

After strolling around the entire area, the two returned to the living room.

The floor was scrubbed clean and shiny, a fire burned in the fireplace, and tea was set out on the coffee table.

Bai Youwei took a sip of the hot tea, put it down, and pouted, "It's not as good as the tea Teacher Cheng makes."

"Teacher Cheng makes tea according to your taste. Intentional and unintentional are, after all, different," Shen Mo also took a sip of tea, looking at the furnishings in the house, and said quietly, "This reward is a bit out of the ordinary."

Bai Youwei was slightly stunned, then nodded:

"Yeah, it not only gave us a place to live, but also an unlimited supply of water, electricity, and gas. No wonder that ball said the game was in the debugging phase. I think the difficulty and rewards of this game are both quite unconventional."

Most of the props in the doll game are one-time use.

Occasionally, there are props like mud that can be used multiple times, but their scope of use is also limited accordingly, such as only being able to deal with skin and flesh injuries.

But the dollhouse is like a game bug.

For example, if players enter the dollhouse during the game, will the game be unable to continue due to insufficient numbers?

What should the supervisors do? Should they wait for the players in the dollhouse to come out, or wait for others to enter the game?

For another example, some mazes are very challenging to the limits of the human body. Deserts, rainforests, glaciers—any harsh environment can appear. But if players bring the dollhouse with them, eating and drinking well in the maze every day, what's the point of the maze's difficulty?

"Remember the rabbit-headed man from the first Tortoise and Hare race?" Bai Youwei asked Shen Mo.

Shen Mo nodded, "Mm?"

Bai Youwei said, "At the time, I exploited a loophole in the rules. In order not to violate the rules, the rabbit-headed man used a compromise, giving me one-tenth of the rabbit. You thought it was strange why it needed to be charged to replenish energy despite having advanced technology. Now that I think about it, isn't it for game balance?"

"Yes…" Shen Mo pondered, "If a player enters the game with a prop that can discharge electricity infinitely, it would cause great unfairness to other players. For the sake of balance, the supervisors limited the way the prop's energy could be replenished. This can be considered a remedial measure."

Bai Youwei smiled softly, "But now, I can charge infinitely."

"It is indeed strange." Shen Mo shook his head with a faint smile, "They clearly care about the game's balance, so how could they come up with this kind of reward?"

"Maybe Yan Qingwen guessed right." Bai Youwei curled her lips, "The difficulty and rewards of this game are very inappropriate. It hasn't been debugged to a qualified state yet. We got lucky."

"Don't get lucky like this again next time. If it happens again, no amount of mud will be enough," Shen Mo stood up and ruffled her hair. "Do you want to rest here tonight?"

Bai Youwei stretched out her hands to him, "Let's go back to the tent, so Teacher Cheng doesn't get a heart attack from not being able to find us."

Shen Mo was slightly stunned by her natural movements.

Bai Youwei stretched out her hand, tilted her head, and looked at him, "What's wrong? Carry me."

Shen Mo stared at her face for several seconds without blinking.

Bai Youwei became even more suspicious and asked again, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to carry me or not?"

He came back to his senses, bent down and picked her up, "…Carry."

She snorted, "Then why were you dawdling!"

Shen Mo didn't say anything.

It was just that his heart seemed to have been poked just now…

The way she asked to be carried was a little cute.
