I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 851 - Manicure

Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Manicure

Du Lai finished speaking and hastily left.

Although he did not specify which three had died, it was no secret. By dinner time, Bai Youwei heard rumors that Fu Miaoxue had entered the maze with Du Lai, Leonid, Chen Hui, and four subjects recruited from the rest area.

Eight people went in, five came out.

The news had spread throughout the headquarters.

In the initial selection competitions, many Kings were eliminated and became subjects. Unable to participate in battles directly, they lingered in the rest area, hoping to be recruited.

Such players, though possessing certain strength, were essentially no different from strangers since they weren’t teammates. Cooperation required consideration of synergy and there was always the fear of potential betrayal.

For these reasons and more, such players were seldom recruited.

Fu Miaoxue recruiting subjects from the rest area clearly meant she was looking for substitutes.

Her way of doing things was much admired by Chu Huaijin, as it was ruthless and decisive—sacrifices didn’t faze her, as long as it wasn’t one of their own.

Unfortunately, Fu Miaoxue had no intentions of vying for the title of King; her heart was set solely on braving the maze.

To her, achieving ultimate victory and world domination were as elusive as the moon in the water or flowers in a mirror—not grounded in reality. Only entering the maze and evolving her body held tangible benefits.

A couple of days later, Bai Youwei heard that Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai entered the maze again.

People at headquarters found it incredible since there was less than two weeks until the next battle. Everyone under Bai Youwei was conserving their strength, yet Fu Miaoxue couldn’t even rest and entered the maze again!

There was much discussion.

Bai Youwei initially found their hasty venture puzzling but after some thought, she understood.

Playing the game relied on a thorough understanding of the rules, while entering the maze depended on experience and intuition—

Maintaining a certain level of tension and avoiding too long a relaxation period could result in a higher success rate in the maze.

However…

If Fu Miaoxue were to enter the maze again, which number would it be?

Bai Youwei silently calculated. If it were maze number 2, 3, 6, or 7… Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai should know how to traverse it, since during the last meeting, they had exchanged information about the maze.

Only maze number 1 remained a mystery so far.

It was unknown just how intelligent the system was; if it could read the players’ brain information and knew they had mastered some mazes’ routes, would it send Fu Miaoxue into the unknown maze number 1?

…Forget it, why worry about her? Such a selfish and arrogant person deserved to be trapped in the maze.

Bai Youwei no longer pondered these things and picked up the nail polish, slowly applying it to her severed hand.

A bright red base with a little white snowflake painted on would give off a festive New Year’s feel.

The idea was nice, but when she actually painted it, the colors blurred into a mess.

She thought for a moment and decided to change the snowflake into a white steamed bun.

Then came dumplings, sweet rice balls, New Year’s cake…

She gently blew on the Crystal Nails of the severed hand, admiring her handiwork and sighed, “These nails do look nice, but they’re a bit long, are you sure you don’t want me to trim them?”

The hand shook its “head” and then retreated.

Worried that Bai Youwei might regret giving it a manicure, the hand hurried to a mirror on its Crystal Nails, its fingers moving like stilts, tapping away with a clatter.

Bai Youwei couldn’t be bothered with it any longer and let it be.

Shen Mo came in from outside and on seeing the intricately decorated severed hand, couldn’t help but chuckle, asking Bai Youwei, “Why not paint your own nails too?”

Bai Youwei’s nails were very clean, a soft pink.

She replied, “I didn’t do my fingernails, but I did paint my toenails.”

Saying this, she lifted up her small, pale feet.
