“Not necessarily.” Yan Qingwen stared at the Inspector, his voice extremely low. “Just because I haven’t encountered it doesn’t mean others haven’t. As long as someone has come out of that game before, they can definitely gather relevant information.”
“That’s a good idea.” said the Rabbit head man with a mild smile, “You’re a wise man, I hope you get what you wish.”
In the end, he did not disclose any clues about that game.
The Rabbit head Inspector held up his black top hat with one hand and reached into it with the other—
“Next, it’s time to distribute the game rewards…”
He produced a cloth doll from the hat.
Everyone’s nerves tightened instantly as they stared intently!
Because the cloth doll in the Inspector’s hand looked exactly like Mary!
The Rabbit head man explained, “Hide-and-seek Mary loves to hide, and she also loves making dolls. As a reward, Mary will custom-make a doll for each of you.”
He paused for a moment and then added with a slight smile, “This is the best reward for you, because each one is tailor-made to fulfill your current desires.”
With that, he set the doll down and said gently, “Go on.”
With a soft thud, the cloth doll landed on the ground and stood in front of Yan Qingwen taking a serious look at him.
Then, it moved a few steps towards Shen Fei, quietly observing him as well.
Finally, it observed Shen Mo and Bai Youwei.
After inspecting all four, it strolled off.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the Inspector explained, “Mary needs some time to make the dolls. Please wait patiently.”
This was unusual.
Previously, game items would be given out directly, but this time they were being made on the spot.
As they waited patiently, they grew curious about what kind of dolls the cloth doll would create.
During this wait, Bai Youwei asked the Rabbit head man, “You just mentioned that there used to be 7,124 games in total, but only 172 are still in operation now. Is this number fixed or will it change over time?”
The Rabbit head man replied politely, “Yes, this number can change at any time. For example, we will be closing down some games that require a large number of players.”
With the world population continually dwindling, the games that had participation requirements of thirty to fifty people were no longer necessary.
Because no one was able to activate them anymore.
Yan Qingwen remembered something else and told them, “The games around the base have maintained a high success rate due to the strategies provided by the organization. However, he mentioned that 343 games were closed due to a success rate above 10%. This suggests that even if the organization avoids triggering the anti-grinding system, it can’t stop the arrival of new games.”
Shen Fei voiced his concern, “We must inform Professor Song about this situation. If the games near the base are gradually closed down, new games will surely appear to fill the gap, putting everyone in danger.”
“The 10% is possibly calculated based on the total number of people.” Shen Mo added, “Currently, each game has claimed at least a thousand lives. Based on a population of a thousand, 10% would be 100 people. So, a game will be removed only if the organization sends 100 people to it. If we go by the rate of sending a team of five people into the game every seven days, it would take at least 140 days to reach that number.”
This 140-day estimate is for a game with a total population count of 1,000. In fact, the actual number of players in each game far exceeds a thousand – often several thousand, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, the current situation at the base is relatively stable.
