I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

He wasn’t trying to collect them all. The number didn’t mean much to him, but among these 8 pieces, there were 2 that had game exemption rights.

Although uncertain about what the world would become, Du Lai was certain that puzzle pieces would become a scarce resource in the future.

Because one maze would only yield up to 9 puzzle pieces, which corresponds to 9 exemptions from the game.

So far, the maze codes do not exceed two digits. Assuming there are 9 mazes in total, even if all are completed, only 81 puzzle pieces could be gained. However, there are definitely more than 81 games and definitely more than 81 players.

In terms of quantity, the difference is huge.

So getting hold of a puzzle piece would only get harder and harder in the future! Last time, he was able to obtain so many puzzle pieces was because Shanghai Base had gathered many players who have ventured into the maze, but what about the future?

Du Lai pondered deeply.

He didn’t believe that taking Bai Youwei’s puzzle pieces and items was a good idea.

Not because of the alliance between both sides, but because until Bai Youwei reveals all her cards, any action carries risk.

However…

Taking into consideration that he was not alone and needed to plan for Fu Miaoxue, the more puzzle pieces, the better.

This risk was worth a shot.

Du Lai asked Fu Miaoxue, “Do you think we have a chance?”

Fu Miaoxue lifted her chin pridefully and said, “Eighty percent.”

After thinking for a while, Du Lai admonished her, “Do not make a move until the last moment. This duo managed to complete so many games. It’s definitely not just because of luck…”

“Boring!” Fu Miaoxue rolled her eyes, “You just don’t think I can beat her! Why did you save me in the first place then? You would’ve let me die!”

Du Lai hugged her and kissed her, whispering sweetly, “Unless I’m dead, you must stay alive.”

Fu Miaoxue squirmed in his arms and snorted, “I’ll decide based on your performance~”

…

The night was quiet, with only the sound of the rain outside.

Bai Youwei, unaware of the plans next door, sat by the bed, her brow furrowed as she looked at the wound on Shen Mo’s back.

Three scratch marks, no blood, but they left a bluish-black mark on his skin. The skin was barely holding together, the bruise was gradually spreading as if he had been poisoned.

This time Shen Mo had really suffered a great deal.

Even with an item that could cut through anything, he was helpless against the ghost-like female apparition.

Unable to lie on his back due to his injury, Shen Mo slept on his front, softly squeezing Bai Youwei’s hand, he said, “Go to sleep. It will get better once the game is over.”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips, her face tense.

After a while, she said: “Earlier, Du Lai mentioned that this kind of injury can only heal itself. Sunlight can speed up the healing process and according to folk… Feng, Jian, Mi, Xin’s saying, it’s actually about replenishing yang energy? Apart from sunlight, rooster blood also carries strong yang energy…”

She paused for a moment and hesitated, “Also… urine from a young child is said to be very strong in yang energy, should we try to get some from Xiaoxin…”

Shen Mo chuckled, reaching out to caress her head, “Stop fooling around, come and lie down with me for a while.”

Bai Youwei pouted, slowly climbing onto the bed, she lay on her side next to him.

“Are you sure we won’t try it?” she asked, not giving up easily.

Shen Mo grinned, “If we are using Xiaoxin’s, mine would do just as well.”

“…” Bai Youwei blushed.

She felt that she and Shen Mo had vastly different understandings of a child’s urine. When she said child’s urine, didn’t she mean actual urine from a child under the age of 12?

Then she wondered: is he flirting with me…

Bai Youwei stared at Shen Mo shyly.

Shen Mo smiled slightly, whispering, “Come closer.”

Bai Youwei scooted closer to him, whispering, “You come closer too~”

Shen Mo laughed, “Alright, I will come closer too.”

He moved closer to her lips and gave her a kiss.

She also… kissed him back.

Then he again…

And then she…

…

A game they wouldn’t tire of after playing all night.
