Chapter 2063: Chapter 2063: Exceeding the Quota

At this point, the players who knew how to survive the dinner left the dining room and returned to their rooms. Compared to the previous panic and uncertainty, they were much calr now.

"It was you who told her about the legs not moving, right?" The sweet girl lagged behind by two steps and said to Xu Huo, "Why not just kill her? If you don’t kill her, she might get hold of your puppet."

"She just succeeded in the first step," Xu Huo replied. "How to clear the level is still unknown; everything is still uncertain. Maybe killing players doesn’t entail punishnt, but destroying puppets might."

"Apart from Zuo Yu, all the puppets appearing now are incomplete, be it due to rule violation or simply out of the puppet maker’s disfavor. The deficiencies vary."

"The structure chart in the studio shows that the puppets are divided into six parts. Destroying a puppet doesn’t necessarily an instant death, but who knows if your corresponding puppet will appear with more deficiencies—one hand, one foot might still be manageable, but what if there were no hands or no body?"

This is not only a warning to other players but also to the sweet girl who had already destroyed a puppet. In unclear circumstances, ensuring the puppet’s integrity is the most prudent decision.

Yet, the sweet girl seed indifferent and instead said, "Actually, there’s a simpler assumption that the puppet maker doesn’t care much about the player’s puppets. Otherwise, the puppets shouldn’t appear randomly in the castle; perhaps he just wants to wait until all the players are dead and then create a new puppet after our likeness and place it in the display cabinet."

"That’s possible," Xu Huo concurred. "But the instance holder also has to abide by the instance rules. An instance that’s completely impossible to clear shouldn’t exist, nor does it have aning."

The sweet girl, seeing she couldn’t convince him, shrugged and returned to her room.

The girl in the painting followed Xu Huo to his room, shut the door, and asked, "Should we kill Pink Hair? She seems to dislike you quite a bit."

"There’s no need." Xu Huo poured himself a glass of water and sat down. "All players here are competitors; getting rid of just one doesn’t guarantee my puppet’s safety. Besides, destroying a puppet carries risks, and rational people wouldn’t take that risk."

Additionally, Fluorescent Powder was the first to survive dinner, and her puppet was reclaid. As for whether it’ll beco the "Satisfied Puppet," that’s yet to be determined.

In this stage, Fluorescent Powder herself beca an unstable factor; whether her death or changes would affect the puppet’s repair is uncertain. But all puppets in the display cabinet are complete; at least her puppet needs to be complete to consider clearing the level.

"What if soone else destroys your puppet?" The girl in the painting seed worried. "Would you die?"

Xu Huo didn’t answer this question but expanded his spiritual world to check the display room, ensuring no new puppets appeared before refocusing his attention to the room.

To date, the puppets of the players who haven’t died haven’t appeared. High Ponytail and Zuo Yu’s puppets don’t count. The puppets of the middle-aged man, Scarred Forehead, and Fluorescent Powder were reclaid. Although the puppet maker previously ntioned through Person No. 1 that incomplete puppets are scrap, that’s based on the assumption that the corresponding player has already died. Fluorescent Powder is still alive.

But whether the puppet maker will repair the puppets is another matter.

Firstly, about the puppets in the display room, everyone assus the puppets correspond to players who have already died. Although there’s no direct evidence for this, searching related information beneath the dinsion yields almost nothing, suggesting a higher chance of death. This implies that puppets capable of being reclaid might be repaired later.

Secondly, considering the repair tiline, if damaged puppets could still be repaired, given the puppet maker’s workload of three puppets per day, repairs might not occur simultaneously, so it’s likely damaged puppets won’t be part of the seventh day’s selection.

Even if everyone’s puppets are damaged, Zuo Yu’s puppet is complete—assuming "Satisfied Puppet" is based on a complete puppet’s foundation, it could an only three puppets are complete over seven days, hinting that the "Satisfied Puppet" might have been predetermined from the start.

This isn’t good news because, with this tendency, players like the sweet girl or Fluorescent Powder absolutely won’t obtain their complete puppets in the first seven days. This instance doesn’t restrict ti, surely changing rules until all players are dead or the level is cleared. Therefore, from the second seven days onward, damaged puppets will be repaired, and players without complete puppets in the first seven days will try their utmost to find trouble.

Lastly, if Xu Huo’s prediction is correct, destroying puppets should be linked to the extent of one’s puppet’s damage; otherwise, the instance is a aningless overlap.

Nevertheless, reducing the number of players in instances benefits everyone. The success of Fluorescent Powder and the instance of the long-clothing man certainly reassured everyone.

The level of advanced players varies widely; to ensure success, so of the remaining players chose to team up, attempting to eliminate opponents without breaking the room’s items. Consequently, by the next morning, the instance player count dropped to fifteen.

On the first day, No. 25 died, as did the middle-aged man, High Ponytail, and on the second day, Scarred Forehead, Zuo Yu, along with one killed by the long-clothing man—six died in two days. But since five occupied puppet slots, three players still needed elimination to ensure everyone’s puppet appeared within seven days.

Well, they exceeded expectations.

To everyone’s surprise, the first puppet to appear on the third day was complete—belonging to a glasses-wearing player. Puppet No. 2, picked up by a servant down the hallway, t the glasses player and was directly handed to him as it was heading to the dining room.

"Can it really happen like this?" Fluorescent Powder remarked with a hint of envy, watching the other player store the puppet in his luggage compartnt.

As the castle owner has to witness "rule violation" and "punishnt" for them to take effect, hiding the puppet beforehand probably won’t be much of an issue.

"This I don’t get. The castle owner knows when we destroy room puppets; why do they get away with breaking and hiding them?" Fluorescent Powder asked again.

"Not necessarily free from consequences," the long-clothing man said slowly, eating his breakfast. "Puppets all have to be reclaid; complete doesn’t an satisfied."

His words made the glasses player change his expression, yet he didn’t retrieve the puppet, since delaying level clearing isn’t as severe as facing imdiate death.
