I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chu Huaijin, who was next to him, spoke, “Team Leader Yu, I understand your concerns, but there is a testing team responsible for the gaming part. The members of the security team should focus on their primary roles first.”

Yu Yaqing frowned, “I understand that ensuring the complete safety of the scientific research team is the main role of the security team. But if we don’t arrange for everyone to go into the game, their gaming experience will amount to nil. If they have to go into the game in the future, it would be really disadvantageous…”

“If they were willing to enter the game, why didn’t they join the testing team in the first place?” Professor Song suddenly asked her.

Yu Yaqing was struck dumb.

“Your suggestion is merely wishful thinking on your part,” Song Mingchuan bluntly said. “The main reason your team members joined the security team is that they don’t wish to enter the game.”

Yu Yaqing looked slightly annoyed but due to Professor Song’s revered status, she curbed her anger, “Professor Song, neither my team members nor I are cowards who fear death!”

“Is it wrong to value life and fear death?” Song Mingchuan let his eyelids drop, his voice remained indifferent, “I wonder, how many people in this world do not cherish their lives and are not scared of death?”

Chu Huaijin stood up, trying to calm the tense atmosphere, he addressed Yu Yaqing, “Team Leader Yu, you can discuss it with your team members before making a decision. The testing team is indeed in need of new members since many have left. If you insist, I’ll consider transferring someone from your team.”

Yu Yaqing solemnly nodded her head, “I will go back and relay this information to my team.”

Someone knocked on the door from outside.

The assistant pushed open the door and asked, “Professor, the candidates for Game No. 21 have arrived, should we meet them now or ask them to wait?”

“Let them come.” Song Mingchuan answered, then he addressed the four women in the room, “You all can leave now. I appreciate the information you have provided for the scientific research team.”

They all said their goodbyes to Professor Song and left the temporary research room.

During her walk, Yu Yaqing couldn’t let go of the anger she felt due to the way Professor Song had spoken earlier.

She believed in her team members; they only needed an opportunity to prove themselves. If they were given a chance to enter the game, their performance wouldn’t necessarily be inferior to that of the testing team’s!

However… recalling Hu Ya’s actions in the game, Yu Yaqing couldn’t help but hesitate.

Just then, a group of men approached them head-on.

Men of all sorts.

Tall, short, slim, plump, an agile gymnast, a sharp-minded bank manager, intimidatingly burly men, and quick-witted slim young men…

As they passed by, one of them whistled at Zhu Shu.

Yu Yaqing frowned wanting to warn them off, but was held back by Zhu Shu who shook her head silently.

Better to avoid trouble when possible.

Besides, she hadn’t suffered anything; she might as well pretend a fly had buzzed past her.

Yu Yaqing shot a glance at the men, swallowed her anger, and left with her colleagues.

Surprisingly, Bai Youwei turned around and took another look.

She stared at the back of one of the men, her gaze cast downward, falling onto his hand—

She saw a pair of white gloves.

In the scorching heat of August, he was not bothered by the heat and wore a pair of gloves, which made people curious about his profession or identity.

From a glance, he appeared slim, a bit on the thin side, with a calm demeanor. He seemed a bit cold and kept his distance from everyone else.

“Weiwei, let’s go.” Su Man, who was in front, called out to her.

Bai Youwei responded, and with her crutch, slowly followed them.

Little did she know, after Su Man had called out to her, those men were also talking about them.

“Not bad benefits at this base, they even have a cripple, how strange.”

“…She’s surprisingly good-looking though.”

“Don’t provoke that cripple. You guys are new here, you don’t know. The one who needed props to exchange for puzzle pieces was her! She has a lot of props in her hand!”

“Really? I couldn’t tell…”

The man wearing the white gloves looked at Bai Youwei’s retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on his face…
