Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Professor Song straightened up from the mountain of documents on his desk, then took off his glasses, pointed to the chair across from the desk, and said, "Have a seat, everyone."

Bai Youwei, Zhu Shu, Su Man, and Yu Yaqing sat down one after another.

The old professor took out pre-prepared forms and handed one to each of them, his voice hoarse and slow:

"To make our communication more efficient, and to avoid missing any issues, I've prepared this form. The questions I need to understand are basically all here. I hope you can fill it out as completely and accurately as possible."

The four were somewhat surprised to receive the form, which was as thick as a textbook.

So thick…

It might take a whole day to fill it out, right?

At this moment, Professor Song said again, "The following are forms from other games. You can use them for reference, and it can also be regarded as a small return from the research team to you."

Bai Youwei flipped to the back and found that only the first two pages were actually required to be filled out, and the rest was information about other games.

Besides number 21, the other games were arranged from number 1 to number 23, neatly and systematically. This information was collected by internal staff. Games with less information had only one page, while those with more information had as many as five or six pages.

Bai Youwei glanced through it and thought this professor was quite good at his job.

"You can start filling it out now," Song Mingchuan said in a hoarse voice. "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

So they each took a pen from the table and began to fill it out.

The first question was "the theme of the game."

That was easy. Bai Youwei wrote "The Last Bride."

The second question was "the characteristics of the Warden."

Bai Youwei frowned and began to write: "Adult male appearance, blond hair and blue eyes, long limbs like noodles, wearing a gorgeous dress…"

As she wrote, a thought suddenly struck her. She stopped writing and flipped through the forms in the back.

Sure enough, she found a similar description, with a note in front of the description: Comic Book Man.

Bai Youwei was a little surprised: "Is this the Warden's name?"

Professor Song looked up, his face expressionless, and said, "Wardens don't have names, genders, or ages. The notes are what most players call them, in order to distinguish them. The organization also uses this name."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the page Bai Youwei was holding, adding, "Sometimes, a Warden has more than one name. For example, Comic Book Man is also called Noodle Man and Long-Legged Male Model. When we record it, we will use the most frequently used name."

Bai Youwei flipped through the pages and found that basically all the Wardens she had encountered were recorded.

The name of the Ball was the most consistent, either "Ball" or "Round Ball" or "Gravity Ball," all with the word "ball" in it.

The Rabbit Head had two names, "Rabbit Head Gentleman" and "Magician."

The Gray-Robed Old Man had the most names: "Hurricane Monster," "Faceless Monster," "Wind-Robed Old Man," "Cloaked Old Man," "Mushroom Cloak"…

Bai Youwei's lips twitched slightly when she saw "Mushroom Cloak."

Recalling the old man, standing motionless in his cloak, he did look like a mushroom.

In addition to these four Wardens she knew, she also saw some unfamiliar names, such as "Puppet Master" and "Will-o'-the-Wisp."

It seemed that there were more than four Wardens. She just didn't know how these Wardens divided their work, whether there was a hierarchy within them, and whether they would cooperate with each other? Or compete?

The professor was still waiting for them to fill out the form, so she had to put these questions aside for the time being.

Bai Youwei picked up her pen and began to write. Knowing that the thick stack below was game information given to them by the other party, she wrote in great detail. People have a subconscious need to reciprocate, and she was no exception.

She wrote a lot, and when she glanced at Su Man's form, she couldn't help but be stunned.
