Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

After meeting Du Lai, whose intentions were unclear, they went to the notice board in People's Square.

The notice board displayed a large map of the city, marking the game areas around the city. Several places in the center were marked in red, indicating the registration office, the supplies depot, the exchange center, and what was called the organization's headquarters.

The registration office was where residents were registered and managed.

The supplies depot was where supplies were collected and distributed.

The exchange center was where props were exchanged for leave passes.

Among them, the exchange center was the most popular. In addition to exchanging leave passes here, new functions gradually emerged, such as exchanging props or finding teammates.

Because the people who came here all had props in their hands.

And those who had props in their hands were capable people, much better than the mixed crowd in the square.

Yan Qingwen took a tour, roughly understood the situation, and prepared to return home.

However, Bai Youwei didn't want to leave. She looked around with great interest and asked Teacher Cheng to stop a staff member to ask if there was a place to exchange jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Not far away, Lü Ang stared in astonishment and whispered to Yan Qingwen, "She doesn't want to collect jigsaw puzzle pieces here, does she?"

Ever since Bai Youwei took their five jigsaw puzzle pieces, they knew what Bai Youwei wanted to do.

But collecting jigsaw puzzle pieces openly in this place is a bit… too noticeable, isn't it?

Yan Qingwen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go over there too. Since we brought her out, we must send her back safe and sound."

Yan Qingwen and Lü Ang walked over.

Zhu Shu thought for a while and followed.

They had only taken two steps when they heard two people nearby complaining:

"Old man, how could anyone exchange for jigsaw puzzle pieces? Jigsaw puzzle pieces can exempt you from one doll game, which is even better than a leave pass!"

"Yeah, even if the organization opens a channel for exchanging jigsaw puzzle pieces, no one would exchange for them."

Cheng Weicai hurriedly explained, "We can exchange for used jigsaw puzzle pieces."

"Used jigsaw puzzle pieces?" The two people who spoke looked at each other and asked Cheng Weicai, "What do you want used jigsaw puzzle pieces for?"

"That's none of your business." Bai Youwei said lightly, "Just tell me if you'll exchange or not. You reacted so strongly after hearing about jigsaw puzzle pieces, you must have them in your hands, right? Or do you know any friends who have jigsaw puzzle pieces?"

The two people looked at Bai Youwei, their faces showing vigilance, "…Even if they are used jigsaw puzzle pieces, they are still jigsaw puzzle pieces. Maybe they have uses we don't know about. Why should we exchange them with you?"

"Because I have props." Bai Youwei smiled, "You've been squatting here for so long, aren't you just trying to exchange for props? What's wrong, are your own props not good enough, and you want to exchange them with others? I can exchange with you~ As long as you give me jigsaw puzzle pieces, you can get props, isn't that a good deal?"

As she spoke, more and more people gathered around, looking at Bai Youwei and Cheng Weicai with curiosity or doubt.

Everyone had seen people exchanging food and medicine, and exchanging props for props was also common, but no one had ever seen anyone exchanging for jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Yan Qingwen frowned and led Lü Ang and Zhu Shu to stand beside Bai Youwei, so that these people wouldn't think an old man and a cripple were easy to bully.

Lü Ang lowered his voice and said in his ear, "This girl is really crazy. She dares to cause trouble in this kind of place without even bringing a rabbit. Only Shen Mo can put up with her."

Yan Qingwen raised the corner of his lips when he heard this, but didn't say anything. He shifted his gaze slightly, but saw a familiar face.

"…It's that person from just now."

Lü Ang was slightly stunned and looked into the distance, seeing the young man named Du Lai in the crowd as well.

Du Lai was staring at Bai Youwei intently, seemingly curious about what props she would take out.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, the staff at the exchange center were worried about trouble and said to Bai Youwei, "Any transaction needs to be written on a notice. After writing it, post it on the transaction board. Both parties trade privately, and the exchange center does not bear any responsibility."
