Chapter 627 Gods' Game: Building Blocks and Me 13
[How to Buy Dolls]
1. Each toy buyer has 1 minute to try their luck at the toy store.
2. Each doll buyer has one chance to shake the claw machine. After shaking the machine wildly, all dolls will be unable to use skills or game items for 10 seconds.
3. If a player fails to successfully grab a plush toy before the time limit for the plush toy purchase ends, they will be forcibly swapped with any plush toy in the next claw machine.
4. If a doll buyer catches an unsold doll, that unsold doll will randomly receive five times the number of building blocks as the doll buyer has in the claw machine, and will become the new doll buyer.
[Bestselling Doll Play Methods]
1. If a best-selling doll can reduce the life value of other best-selling dolls to zero, the best-selling doll will become a "temporarily unsold doll" for the next minute and cannot be grabbed. The doll whose life value is reduced to zero will randomly drop a block. After restoring its life value, it will be put back into the claw machine.
2. Once a best-selling doll is caught by a doll buyer, the doll buyer can randomly obtain five times the number of building blocks of that best-selling doll as the number of the claw machine serial number. The best-selling doll caught by the doll buyer will become the new doll buyer.
[A player can only leave the claw machine after successfully grabbing three plush toys as a player buyer, or after spending more than 30 minutes as a plush toy.]
The rules for claw machines are more stringent than those for amusement parks.
The slide was long enough for Yu Xunge to hear all the rules.
There's not much to say about bestselling dolls and doll buyers; one doesn't want to get caught, while the other does, but each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Although the former is passive, it can obtain building blocks by killing other dolls.
Although the latter is proactive, it will lose a lot of building blocks once it catches unsold dolls.
The most complicated issue is dealing with unsold dolls.
The three players with the most unsold plush toys are, unsurprisingly, the strongest or most skilled players in the claw machine. However, even the strongest player cannot defeat other plush toys to obtain toys; the only way to get toys is to get caught by the plush toy seller.
Ironically, the power to formulate "doll usage instructions" is in the hands of unsold dolls.
To make an unsold doll more appealing, it needs to disguise itself as an easy-to-catch best-selling doll by using "doll instructions" or various disguise techniques.
This means that the "doll user manual" can be private, but it will never be too private. It won't just be about one unsold doll having a larger body and reduced agility, as that would be too obvious, and doll buyers would never fall for it.
However, if the scope is too broad and there are too many dolls that meet the "doll usage instructions", the competition for unsold dolls will be too obvious and will be noticed by doll buyers.
In short, slow-selling dolls and fast-selling dolls are not opposites. Although the former determines and controls the fate of the latter, driven by the way they are played, it also acts as a protective umbrella for the latter.
What concerned Yu Xunge the most was the last point—[The rules for claw machines are higher than the rules for amusement parks].
Doesn't this mean that even if a player returns to the initial room and restarts the game because their block count falls below the danger line, they will still end up back in the claw machine?
However, there's some good news: the claw machine's life points aren't locked, so she can use "I really want to improve!"
While she was pondering, Yu Xunge had already slid off the slide and landed inside claw machine number 3.
The moment she landed, a voice flashed through her mind—[You've become an unsold doll in claw machine number 3]
As she flew and ran inside the claw machine, she observed the situation in the arena. At this time, there were already thirteen giant plush toys, but after she landed in the arena, five of the giant plush toys were slowly returning to their normal size.
The "instructions for use of the doll" issued by the unsold doll she replaced has become invalid!
While running around, Yu Xunge issued her first "Doll Usage Instructions" after becoming an unsold doll.
—"I declare that dolls should bring two pets to play the claw machine."
As soon as she landed, she heard a voice coming from the speakers in the four corners above the claw machine. It was a language of all races that she couldn't understand. But then, the same sentence was quickly broadcast in two other languages. Yu Xunge just happened to understand the second language. This was obviously a way to make all the claw machines understand with the fewest possible languages.
—“The instructions for using the plush toy state that it should be accompanied by two pets when playing the claw machine.”
In an instant, Yu Xunge's body, which had already grown larger due to the addition of building blocks, became twice its original size, and his movements became much clumsy.
Although no other dolls on the field grew larger this time besides her, Yu Xunge couldn't help but laugh out loud. This game suited her better than she had imagined.
She obtained 68 building blocks through the space pirate spaceship, and exchanged 5 of the game item fragment building blocks for 120g of building blocks at the vending machine.
Except for a small portion that was fairly well-formed, the rest of these building blocks were odd little pieces. Even though she used them to assemble a potion bottle, the potion bottle was now lying inside her stomach.
Even after paying for the three of them's entertainment fees and the claw machine tickets, she now has over 170 building blocks on her body.
On the surface, she was not the player with the most blocks on the field. She was just a player with a lot of blocks and who assembled them very neatly. But no one knew that her stomach was hollow and that a large pile of blocks was inside.
Moreover, she also has the advantage of having an identity that she herself has when she's out and about.
She tried using the "I Want to Improve" skill on another doll once. Although the theft failed, the skill was successfully executed.
The good days are finally here!
She stared at the five players with the most blocks for a while, then moved slightly closer and shouted in Owl Language, "I want a stable happiness!"
Then select the player who keeps going into the pile of big dolls, and improve three times in a row.
Three building blocks appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Even without any game item fragments, Yu Xunge wasn't disappointed. As she flew, she turned her back to the doll buyer and stuffed the three building blocks into her stomach.
Just then, Tu Lan and B8017913's voices rang out in the group chat, and they also entered the claw machine one after another.
B8017913: "I'm at claw machine number 1."
Tu Lan: "I'm number 1 too!"
Yu Xunge: "Then you two should cooperate well; you complement each other perfectly."
Tu Lan: "Huh? I have no weaknesses. Didn't I tell you? I'm the top of the new generation of dragons."
B8017913: "I have no weaknesses either. Since I joined you, I've been frequently featured on the front page of MechClan. I'm now a rising star in MechClan's traffic-generating machine."
Tulan: "Oh? Where you're from, you call making a contract with a player 'following'?"
B8017913: "Yes"
Yu Xunge: ...The most important thing for you two right now is to spend less time on websites that involve drinking.
