Bai Youwei's plush rabbit could move on its own.
Whenever it was more than 2 meters away from her, it seemed to activate some automatic program and would resolutely embark on a journey to find its owner.
During this process, if it was obstructed by a living creature, it would release a small amount of electricity to defend itself.
But if it was an inanimate object, such as a tent, stone, tree trunk, or wall, the rabbit would not react at all.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo conducted several more experiments.
For example, Bai Youwei placed the rabbit inside the windowsill of a room on the first floor, closed the glass window, and then retreated to a position 2 meters outside the window.
Afterward, the rabbit would keep squeezing and arching against the glass window. Even though the door on the other side was wide open, it wouldn't come out through the door.
This showed that the plush rabbit was endowed with a certain level of intelligence, but it was not very intelligent.
"If the data upgrade of the maze also affects props, why haven't other props changed?" Shen Mo pondered, "Could it be that the maze system defaults 'one-tenth of me' as a game player?"
Bai Youwei shook her head. "If it was recognized as a game player by the system, then it should be ranked first with me after clearing the game. Why didn't it get a puzzle piece?"
The top five players who left the maze received puzzle pieces.
So this assumption didn't hold.
Shen Mo frowned and thought for a moment. "The system should have its own criteria for upgrading players' data. Assuming that the system targets all intelligent life forms, and this prop happens to meet the criteria, but because the role of the Watcher is excluded from the game, it cannot obtain puzzle pieces?"
"Well, it's possible." Bai Youwei stroked the plush rabbit's ears and said slowly, "After all, the Watcher has a transcendent status in the game. Even if it's only one-tenth, it can't be equated with ordinary players."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled faintly as if thinking of something.
"I wonder to what extent this data upgrade can go… Will it become two-tenths, three-tenths, four-tenths… until it becomes a complete Watcher in the future?"
Shen Mo was speechless for a moment.
He was speechless at Bai Youwei's imagination and the existence of the Watcher.
But speaking of upgrades…
It was still unknown whether they could get out of the next maze safely.
Shen Mo was silent for a long time and said indifferently, "Let's see when we get to Hangzhou."
Bai Youwei responded with a hum.
After a while, she whispered, "I thought you would choose to go with Zhang Tianyang and the others."
Shen Mo looked at her when he heard this.
Her eyes were looking into the distance.
It was a quiet night, and the moonlight spilled on the industrial cement road, giving the illusion of frost and snow.
The two sat side by side in front of the tent curtain.
Bai Youwei said, "My mother and I don't have a deep relationship, so it's normal for me not to look for her. What about you? Haven't you thought about looking for your father?"
Shen Mo was silent for a while, his tone still as calm as water. "With my dad's personality, he wouldn't trust those temporary rescue teams. He should have found another way."
He paused for two seconds and then continued, "Besides, what if we find them? We still have to figure out these games and the maze…"
As he spoke slowly, his eyes drooped slightly, falling on her slightly bent legs.
Thinking of the data upgrade and her physical condition, he wanted to ask, but at this moment, Tan Xiao and Cheng Wei ran over from a distance and shouted at them, "Brother Mo! Weiwei! Something is coming over the lake!"
Their shouts were breathless and unclear. Shen Mo went up to them and asked, "What's coming?"
"It seems to be a boat!" Tan Xiao said excitedly, "There are lights on the boat! Electricity! And it's rumbling!"
