Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Bai Youwei found it quite novel and said, "That Professor Song is really amazing, to be able to research the trigger number for the games."

Chu Huaijin was a little embarrassed, explaining, "Professor Song can detect the distribution location and range of the games through magnetic field anomalies, but the trigger number… we need to test it ourselves."

"Test it ourselves?" Bai Youwei was surprised. "How do you test it?"

Under the light, Chu Huaijin's expression appeared somewhat heavy. He looked about the same age as Yan Qingwen, but his appearance leaned more towards a "tough" style. He had a straight posture and slightly dark skin. He didn't seem like a resourceful leader, but more like a general charging into battle.

He said in a deep voice, "Usually, I, or the deputy team leader, lead team members into the game area to conduct testing. We start with two people, then three, four, five… increasing one by one. Whenever we enter the game, the number of people we have is the minimum trigger number for the game."

Bai Youwei was even more shocked. "Aren't you afraid of not being able to get out?"

Chu Huaijin smiled wryly and sighed, shaking his head. "It was indeed difficult at the beginning. We had many team members who sacrificed themselves… However, it's much better now, because the item exchange system is on the right track. Everyone enters the game with items, and the survival rate is much higher than before."

Shen Fei, who was accompanying them, interjected, "Although the regulations seem inhumane, you don't know how much sacrifice we make to test each new game!"

His tone was somewhat indignant. "The current peace and tranquility of the city is the result of the joint efforts of the research team and the testing team!"

"Xiao Fei," Chu Huaijin called out to Shen Fei, saying kindly, "There's no need to say anymore. I believe that over time, everyone will understand our intentions."

He looked at Shen Mo, and Cheng Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin behind Shen Mo.

"It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Right now, our abilities are limited, and there are still many shortcomings in the base construction. Later… later, we will try to exempt the elderly and children from the games," Chu Huaijin said. "Currently, each core member within the organization can obtain a maximum of three slots to not participate in assigned games, which will make it easier to take care of family members."

"You have a good heart," Shen Mo nodded slightly. "If it were someone else, they might not be able to do as well as you."

Bai Youwei was still concerned about the game, and asked, "For the games around here, what's the most number of people you've tried?"

Chu Huaijin told her, "The game with the highest trigger number nearby is the 32-person marathon, but for Game No. 24, we've tried over a hundred people, and still haven't been able to trigger the game. Professor Song believes that either the number of people is still not enough, or the game has special trigger conditions."

While speaking, the group had already reached the end of the corridor. On the right was a glass sensor door.

The sensor had been disabled, and the glass door was wide open. Two security personnel stood on either side of the door. Bai Youwei recognized one of them.

It was the fierce female team leader from yesterday, Yu Yaqing.

Bai Youwei was originally asking about the game, but suddenly seeing Yu Yaqing, she couldn't help but be stunned. She forgot what she wanted to ask.

Yu Yaqing saw Bai Youwei and the others, her expression normal, without even an extra glance.

She saluted Chu Huaijin and retreated to the side with a neat movement.

Chu Huaijin led the group inside, and the guards remained outside the glass door.

—Inside was brightly lit, with many tables set up, laden with fine wine and delicacies, and seven or eight scattered guests.

"Please sit here," Chu Huaijin said politely. "Everyone, please sit down and chat slowly. Yesterday, due to an emergency meeting, the dinner was delayed. This meal is my and Professor Song's apology to everyone."
