Chapter 319 Jasmine Really Likes Dolls
Having said this, Hua Yu suddenly stopped talking.
This posture was as if there was some ominous omen ahead, making her dare not speak easily.
However, it was precisely because of her hesitation to speak that the audience in the live broadcast room and Sakura Fubuki beside her felt a chill, as if there was suddenly a sharp blade hanging above their heads, which could fall at any time.
The comments in the live broadcast room also gradually changed from ridicule and shock to anxiety and fear:
"It's over! I thought this cutscene of Jasmine was quite interesting, but as I was laughing, I suddenly couldn't laugh anymore..."
"Hua Yu! Tell me the truth, who made you like this?"
"Damn! According to the formula, this version of Jasmine is going to be a failure... No, I don't dare to think about it anymore!"
Hua Yu looked at the increasingly panicked comments in the live broadcast room, shook her head slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
The players' reactions were completely expected. After all, what she had just said could easily lead people to think of something bad.
She certainly understood the weight of her words, and knew that many players would take her speculation as a prophecy.
"Of course, these are just my personal guesses."
Hua Yu's tone became more relaxed, trying to ease the audience's tension:
"Don't take it too seriously. Maybe the planner will find his conscience this time and won't continue to use the formula of 'character growth must pay a price'?"
She tapped the keyboard lightly, adjusting the game's operating perspective.
"Also, the 3.0 version of the game has just begun. What will happen next is actually uncertain for the time being."
"We should not set a pessimistic expectation for ourselves in advance, as this will affect the gaming experience."
Hua Yu knew very well what she was doing.
She was stacking armor on herself to prevent herself from being hit in the face afterwards.
This has been her habit all along.
After all, she is different from Sakura Fubuki.
Sakura Fubuki can make all kinds of bold guesses as she pleases, because no one will take them seriously.
But Hua Yu's predictions about the plot are too influential, so she has to be careful.
So she always uses words like "guess".
And she would always add that her opinion might not be correct, even if the probability of it being correct was as high as 90%, she would still do so.
This is also the reason why Hua Yu’s inferences and analysis of the plot are so popular among players.
She usually doesn't jump to conclusions.
Instead, she presents her entire thinking process to the audience, allowing everyone to follow her thoughts and analyze the clues hidden behind the game.
"Okay, let's continue reading."
Hua Yu adjusted her mood and continued to control the game character to advance the plot.
The game screen jumped to the next morning. Unlike usual, Jasmine was obviously not in good condition.
She walked out of the room with a tired look on her face, with obvious dark circles under her eyes. Her usually meticulous hairstyle was a little messy, and she looked listless.
This was in stark contrast to Jasmine, who usually always got up first and always kept up her image.
Feiying in the living room saw this scene and was so surprised that her mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened. She obviously did not expect Jasmine to be in this state.
"Lily? You are..."
Feiying's voice was full of concern, "Are you okay? You look like you haven't slept all night."
When Jasmine heard this, an unnatural look flashed across her face. She subconsciously adjusted her collar, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"I spent almost the entire night studying the data extracted from the East District..."
Jasmine's voice was a little dry as she thought about what excuse to make.
Feiying didn't seem to have any doubts about this explanation. She nodded with an expression of admiration on her face.
"You are always so serious and responsible, Lily. But you should also take care of your health. You will get sick if you work too hard."
Jasmine forced a smile and nodded.
"..."
Just then, a brisk sound of footsteps came from the door, interrupting their conversation.
"Good morning, sisters!"
Lei walked in from outside with her signature energetic smile, the shadow fairy on her shoulder still lying lazily.
She looked around, her eyes lingering on Jasmine's tired face for a second, but she didn't say anything more.
"I have good news for you."
Lei's voice was full of excitement:
"My dear sister just told me that she has officially confirmed that the activation of the East District node will begin today!"
This news immediately cheered up Feiying, and even Jasmine perked up, with a barely perceptible light flashing in her eyes.
"..."
……
A moment later, Lei brought Feiying and Jasmine to the reception room of the Doll Love.
At this time, the puppet was standing in front of a holographic projection, which displayed a three-dimensional map of the Mechanical City.
Seeing the three people coming in, Renpeiqing nodded slightly in greeting, then went straight to the point and briefly introduced the plan of this operation.
"The activation procedure for the East Zone masternode will be carried out today."
The voice of the puppet is still calm and elegant:
"According to previous detections, there may be some unstable factors in the area, so everyone needs to remain vigilant."
She pointed to specific locations on the map and explained to the girls the general layout and potential dangers of the East Side.
"...'
Next.
Renpeiqing began to tell the general details of the East District node activation procedure.
And the introduction to the puppet relationship was brief and efficient, and the explanation was quickly concluded.
Afterwards, she led Feiying, Jasmine and Lei out of the tower and headed to the eastern area of the city.
After leaving the tower, a peculiarly shaped hovercraft was already waiting for them.
The car body is streamlined and the surface is covered with sophisticated metal patterns, which looks both ancient and advanced.
The doll walked gracefully in front and opened the door for the three girls.
"Please take your seats. It will take some time to get to the East District. I will explain it in more detail on the way."
After entering the car, Feiying and Lei sat in the back seat, while Jasmine chose the passenger seat.
The doll sat in the driver's seat and pressed a few buttons lightly. The car then floated up silently and headed towards the east district.
Outside the car window, the scenery of the mechanical city passed by quickly.
The architectural style gradually changes along the road from the High Tower District to the East District.
Originally it was a delicate and elegant spires and arches.
Then it becomes more utilitarian square buildings, and finally large industrial areas and research facilities, full of cold metallic feel.
The atmosphere in the car was a little quiet, with only Lei occasionally exclaiming in admiration for the scenery passing by outside the window.
Feiying kept staring out the window, as if looking for something.
Jasmine would occasionally glance at the doll secretly, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.
He Renzui Qing also seemed to notice Jasmine's gaze and quickly responded:
"Ms. Jasmine, do you have any questions?"
The voice of the puppet was still calm, but there was a hint of concern in his tone.
"I noticed that you seemed a little distracted."
This sudden question made Jasmine visibly stunned.
She seemed to be pulled back to reality from some thoughts, and an unnatural blush flashed across her face.
"Nothing... nothing special."
Jasmine hurriedly shook her head, her voice a little flustered, completely different from her usual calm and composed image.
Feiying and Lei in the car also noticed Jasmine's unusual reaction, and then exchanged puzzled looks with each other.
Especially Feiying, she had never seen Jasmine so flustered.
Jasmine took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down.
Then, she continued in a deliberately calm tone:
"I'm just suddenly curious... For a puppet like you, what did you usually do when the mechanical civilization had not yet turned into this ruin and you were not needed as a guardian? What kind of... job responsibilities did you have?"
When she said this, her eyes looked straight ahead, not daring to look at the doll.
But her inner nervousness could be seen from her slightly trembling fingers.
The doll turned around and looked at Jasmine with a little confusion, but soon regained his composure.
She didn't show any displeasure at this somewhat personal question, but responded naturally.
"This body belongs to the MX series of advanced emotional companion dolls. The initial design purpose is to provide all-round emotional support and life assistance to the contract holder."
The puppet's voice was calm and emotionless, as if he was reading a technical manual;
“The main functions include daily companionship, emotional communication, and meeting the social needs of the contractor in various occasions.”
When Jasmine heard this answer, her eyes widened slightly and she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
Obviously, when she asked this question, she didn't seem to expect that Renouqing would answer this question so directly.
"So, how many contractors have you had?"
Jasmine asked cautiously, her voice almost inaudible.
"I have had seven formal contracts in total."
The answer of the doll love remained calm.
"Seven?!"
Jasmine cried out in surprise, then quickly lowered her voice:
"Sorry, I'm just a little...surprised."
"...There are indeed seven of them, and each one has his or her own unique personality and needs."
Renouqing briefly mentioned some of her past information, and there was no special emotion in her tone:
"We have adjusted the corresponding functional modules according to their respective requirements to provide the best service experience."
Hearing this, Jasmine's expression became a little complicated. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.
Feiying and Lei in the car were also attracted by this topic. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully, enjoying the show so much.
Not only them, Hua Yu's live broadcast room also became more explosive with this paragraph:
"??? What do you mean? My mistress had seven masters before?"
"Damn it! Seven owners? Isn't this a seven-hand product? I can't accept it!"
“Wow! My image as a pure doll wife has collapsed! I’ve been cheated on before she even entered the card pool!”
"Did the game planning team do this on purpose? This setting is too disgusting!"
Hua Yu couldn't help laughing when she saw these comments.
But she quickly adjusted her expression and continued to observe the development of the game plot.
"There are seven masters?"
Hua Yu half-jokingly said, "According to the style of the game "Fairy Journey", these seven masters are likely to be cute girls."
"But judging from Qing's current state, the so-called seven masters should no longer be here."
