Bai Youwei bent down to lift the rabbit, placing it on her lap and stroking it.
Her hand came away oily.
She scrunched up her face in disgust, tearing off a napkin from the table to wipe her hands.
“Who knows what the system was thinking… Anyway, these items were all given to me as game rewards.” She wiped down her hand as she spoke slowly, “Since they were given to me, I’m surely allowed to use them? It wouldn’t make sense otherwise. As for it affecting balance…”
She lifted her head to smile at it, “Isn’t that the Inspector’s job to worry about?”
Bai Youwei ignored it, put down the napkin, wheeled herself around in her chair, and gradually exited the dining room.
The Inspector watched her retreating figure, emotions cresting and falling.
Other people use items, but she…
She uses items to use items!
…However, there was one thing she got right—maintaining game balance is the responsibility of every Inspector!
It took a deep breath, even though it didn’t need to breathe, but with the increase in its data richness, its emotional responses were becoming more and more human-like.
It lightly tapped the air with its fingers a few times.
A ball fell from the sky
“Why did you call me here?” The ball surveyed its surroundings, “Is this the game instance you are managing? Wow~ You have really put in a lot of effort, it looks very fancy~”
Not in the mood for idle chatter, it asked the ball directly: “I just inspected some data and found a player with rewards obtained from instance No. 7016! That is your jurisdiction, this reward will clearly severely disrupt game balance! Why would you give them to the player?! Don’t you know it could interfere with the normal operation of other games?!”
The ball paused before scoldingly replying: “Hey! Don’t assume that just because you have richer data samples that you can yell at me! You’re just a trainee Inspector! Don’t gloat in front of me!”
The ball slammed the floor in fury!
A crater appeared on the floor.
The ball had disappeared.
The Inspector, frustrated, called for the ball again:
“Instance No. 7016 is your responsibility! You must return to repair this loophole! That person also has a rabbit in their possession; I can’t track down the instance record!”
The ball didn’t appear, only its voice echoed:
“Fix it yourself! I’m not helping you!”
The Inspector gritted its teeth: “I am a trainee Inspector! I don’t have enough authority!”
This time, no response came.
Just as it was about to call out a few more times, it heard the ball tauntingly respond: “You deserve it.”
Why is it my fault? It’s your mess to begin with!!!
Bai Youwei was giving the rabbit a bath in the bathroom.
When it was used to carry dishes, its fluffy paws unavoidably got stained with oil and soup. Cleaning it was a lot of trouble.
Zhu Shu and Su Man returned from outside, following the sound of running water to find Bai Youwei in the bathroom.
“Did you guys find anything?” Bai Youwei asked, wringing out the rabbit whose round head was twisted into a twisty bun by her.
Both Zhu Shu and Su Man shook their heads, looking both weary and dejected.
“The third floor is the same as the second, filled with gold, silver, jewelry and rare collectibles, clocks, blankets, models… but we never found a locked room.”
Bai Youwei asked: “Did you count them? How many rooms are on the third floor?”
They hesitated a moment.
“You didn’t count them, did you?” Bai Youwei placed the rabbit down and looked at them.
“Over one hundred, I guess…” Su Man hesitated, “There were too many rooms. We started feeling dizzy looking for them all, so we forgot to keep count.”
Zhu Shu muttered with sudden realization: “The layouts of the upper and lower floors are exactly the same, so the third floor should also have 128 rooms. If any floor is missing a room, that would mean the locked room is somehow hidden!”
Grabbing on to the understanding, she turned to go and count, “I’m going to go count!”
“Come back.” Bai Youwei stopped her, “Have you visited the basement?”
