Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

“How can you say that?! That’s outrageous!!!” The ball shrieked, “A game with such generous rewards should naturally increase the difficulty based on the original! Otherwise, how can the game be balanced?! How can it be balanced!!!”

Red light flashed within the crystal ball, and the swirling snowflakes, illuminated by the red glow, resembled boiling blood plasma.

“You ignorant outsiders! You don't understand anything!”

It roared in a childish voice.

“The Overseer not only has the duty to ensure the game proceeds normally, but also to intervene in time when the game becomes unbalanced! I didn't deliberately conceal the game rules!”

Bai Youwei gazed steadily at it. “So, if we had worn the correct clothes when we gave the teddy bear to it, nothing would have happened, right?”

“That was…” The ball's voice faltered, then became even angrier. “You're deliberately trying to trick me into revealing information?!”

Bai Youwei denied it. “I’m not.”

The ball insisted, “You clearly are!!!”

Bai Youwei stopped wasting her breath on it and looked at Shen Mo, Yan Qingwen, and the others. “It seems it was just the clothes. Let's go upstairs and change.”

Yan Qingwen gave her a deep look, nodded, and turned to go upstairs.

The others followed suit.

Shen Mo was the last to leave, leaving Bai Youwei, the ball, and the unconscious Li Li on the sofa on the first floor.

The crystal ball floated unsteadily towards Bai Youwei and said insidiously, “Do you think you can clear the game like this? Don't dream… The difficulty of the Dollhouse is not as simple as you think. Soon, you will pay the price for your arrogance!”

Bai Youwei smiled.

“There's something I want to tell you,” she said.

The ball paused slightly and leaned closer. “What is it?”

Bai Youwei said, “Actually… your game is the worst of all the games! It's absolutely terrible!”

The ball: “…”

“See, you paid the price faster than me.” Bai Youwei smiled, her lips curving upwards. “Just like now, you have to stay in front of the players and endure humiliation. Happy?”

The ball: “………………”

So angry.

I really want her to die quickly.

…

Upstairs, the others came down one by one.

Everyone had changed into new clothes and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhu Shu was alright. She had often worn various performance costumes and theatrical attire before, so she was equally adept at handling these clothes.

Su Man, however, was extremely awkward. She was someone who rarely even wore dresses. Unless it was a necessary occasion, she usually wore simple women's shirts and jeans. Now, she had to wear this puffy princess dress with all sorts of lace and decorations. Su Man's expression was very gloomy.

Cheng Laoshi wore a black tuxedo, resembling a butler from some ancient manor.

Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin were like the young masters of that manor.

Lü Ang, with his sturdy physique, still looked like a bodyguard even in a full suit.

Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen, with their good looks and figures, looked like elegant and noble princes after dressing up—

Especially Shen Mo. Bai Youwei wasn't sure if it was because her eyes had a built-in filter, but when she saw Shen Mo walking down the stairs, her eyes were practically glued to him.

The crisp suit, the firm contours, the cold and handsome features, the deep gaze… perfect in every way. Her gaze was undisguised, almost greedily admiring him.

Shen Mo walked up to her, his lips curling slightly.

“Is it my imagination?” he chuckled softly, “Why do I feel like your eyes look a little… lustful?”

“Do they~?” Bai Youwei giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist, her small hands wandering. “The clothes fit so well.”

Mentioning this, the others' faces darkened.

“Yeah…” Lü Ang muttered under his breath, “As if they were tailor-made for us.”
