The two shared this idea with several other people, and they had different reactions.
Feng Shi, Bian Ya and Sun Qianqian fell into deep thought, and Xu Ning was a little confused.
As long as she is in the hands of her master, Jia Jia will have completed her identity transformation and achieved "rebirth".
In another sense, rebirth also means that it has experienced "death".
Li Shanyin directly expressed his doubts: "What is this? The Jia Jia of the past is dead, and the Jia Jia of the present is Niu Hulu Jia Jia? This is too idealistic. Why do I feel like you are talking nonsense?"
"And according to common sense, there are many ways to kill the main monster, but the standard for determining its death is unique. According to what those Jiajias above said, here, only when the main monster is completely 'destroyed' can the player be considered to have passed the level!"
"You're not wrong," Song Yang said calmly, "but there are always exceptions. This is the first time we've encountered a main monster like Jia Jia, isn't it?"
Li Shanyin was choked.
He thought for a moment and then said, "But why does it have to be counted until the owner opens the box?"
Sun Qianqian had figured it out by now. She said, "Because if Jia Jia's rebirth is merely a wrapped gift delivered to the 'master', then wouldn't we just sit back and wait for the game to be over? But that's impossible."
The little girl said seriously, "I think there must be a ritual and a process for Jia Jia's rebirth to be recognized by the copy. If you think about it carefully, even if the gift is delivered to the 'owner', it may not even be opened and will be forgotten in a corner."
The "owner" who receives a gift like a doll is most likely a child.
They couldn't be sure whether the little master would receive only Jia Jia as a gift tonight, or many more.
If it is the latter, then the situation Sun Qianqian described is very likely to occur.
Sun Qianqian said, "For a doll to completely change its life, at least the owner should open the box and see it. Otherwise, if it's just kept in the box and left in a corner gathering dust, how can it be considered 'reborn'?"
This is simply abandoned.
Song Yang said, "Of course, perhaps the 'master' we're facing is someone who will open any gift he receives, but there's another problem: we can't guarantee that he'll open the box before the end of this instance tonight."
In reality, if a person receives many gifts on his birthday, he may not open all the gifts that night.
These are all variables of the copy.
If they want to successfully pass the dungeon, they must take the initiative into their own hands.
Li Shanyin frowned, still looking doubtful.
Feng Shi thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "With our strength, destroying the main monster within the remaining time is already an impossible task. So, either we've already failed and can't leave this dungeon, or, as they both said, our chance lies in 'external forces.'"
"This dungeon only gives players three days," Bian Ya pondered. "Three days isn't a long time, but the pace is already quite tight compared to many dungeons. Given this time limit, I don't think it's likely they'll leave players with no escape route four hours before the end. That would already surpass the difficulty of a three-star dungeon."
In other words, Song Yang and Xia Jing's plan is most likely the second path left for players in the copy.
Xia Jing said calmly, "Of course, 'Once the master opens the box, the main monster will die' is just our current guess. When we actually get to that point, there will likely be variables."
The definition of what constitutes the rebirth of a toy is not set by them, but by the copy.
Perhaps, when they finally wait for Jia Jia and her "master's" birthday, they will have to take other actions to help complete Jia Jia's rebirth.
All of this will only be known when the time comes, and they must be prepared to adapt to the situation.
Even, maybe Xia Jing and Song Yang's guess was indeed wrong, and there was indeed a second way to crack this copy, but it was not to let Jia Jia be reborn.
But no matter what, one thing is very clear -
The "master" is currently the only external force they can rely on.
In other words, it is imperative to induce the "owner" to open the box.
"We can't get out of the tower during the day. The only chance to go outside is when the secondary monsters appear at night." Xia Jing said.
When he said this, Sun Qianqian, Xu Ning and Li Shanyin were all stunned.
They have been discussing this issue for most of the day and still haven't considered it.
At this moment, their expressions all changed: "You mean, we are going to deliberately mess up today's work?!"
Song Yang said decisively, "Yes."
Li Shanyin panicked: "But the arrival of the secondary monster means we will be punished!"
Song Yang still said the same word: "Yes."
Li Shanyin was about to collapse: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Song Yang said calmly: "To take the initiative to clear the dungeon into your own hands, you have to face certain risks.
Xu Ning listened for a long time, bit his lip, and said, as if he was having trouble speaking, "...I want to ask a question."
A group of people immediately looked at her.
Xu Ning's face flushed red as he said shamefully, "In most dungeons, as long as the main monster is defeated, all other players can leave the dungeon, regardless of who defeated it."
Li Shanyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he understood what Xu Ning meant.
When Xu Ning noticed Sun Qianqian's surprised look, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.
She was so scared.
On the first night, she saw with her own eyes how Zhang Li was trampled to death by the secondary monster, and that psychological shadow still lingers in her heart.
Xu Ning didn't dare to face the secondary monster, but she was the only one left in their team, and she couldn't ask anyone to help her share the risk!
Xu Ning felt that there was no chance of her surviving against the secondary monster.
Sun Qianqian hesitated and said, "Teacher Xu, my brother and the others did some testing yesterday, and the other players should be able to help weaken the secondary monster's attacks on the Punished. On the first night, Jiajia's inspection order was in reverse order, the second night it was in normal order, and tonight it's likely to be in reverse order again. So you're the last one, and we should all be able to leave the glass house before you, so we can all help you."
Xu Ningqiang laughed and said, "But it's not necessary, is it? Does this mission really require all of us to leave the glass house to complete? I... I don't think I can help much."
Sun Qianqian stopped talking.
The only way they could think of to trick the "master" into opening the box was to tamper with the lid to attract the "master's" attention.
The exact height of this box is currently unknown.
Of course, as long as the props are prepared, the task of "pushing the lid" can be completed by only one player.
But what happens after the "owner" opens the box?
Once something unexpected happens, it may not be something a player can handle.
That's why they need to leave the glass house - all this is to prepare for unknown variables.
But Xu Ning was afraid and decided to be an outsider.
Admittedly, her absence might not be a big deal, but this style of intending to hide behind everyone and directly enjoy the results always makes people feel a little subtle.
Sun Qianqian's silence made Xu Ning even more embarrassed. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and stammered, "I... I just feel like I can't help much..."
Song Yang simply said, "I suggest that everyone try their best to leave the glass house. Firstly, it's to prepare for the unexpected. When something unexpected happens, maybe only by working together can we overcome the difficulties. Secondly, based on my past experience, when unexpected events occur, if the players' range of movement is restricted, it could be very dangerous."
Xu Ning was stunned.
Li Shanyin's excited expression suddenly froze. He tightened his lips, thinking about what Song Yang said, and his eyes rolled.
"If something really goes wrong tonight, you'll be trapped in the glass house and unable to do anything. We can't risk being punished by the system to destroy the glass house and let you out just for you. Do you understand?"
Song Yang's words were very blunt, and Xu Ning was extremely embarrassed.
If Xu Ning decided to face the secondary monster, then all of them would help.
But if she decided to hide in the glass house, then if something unexpected really happened, would she let these players who were willing to face risks and charge forward be punished by the system for her?
At the very least, she would have her points deducted, and at the worst, she would be locked up in a small dark room... She herself didn't have the face to ask others to do this for her.
Song Yang said: "So, I hope everyone can think it over carefully."
…
After that, Song Yang, Xia Jing and Feng Shi discussed how to work on the top cover of the box at night.
The "sky" in this small world looks very high, but referring to the packaging method of real products, the actual size of the box does not deviate too much from the size of the doll.
Then the top of the box should not be too far away from them.
If they could get to the top of the tower, then maybe they could use a stick to pry the lid off.
But fortunately, Feng Shi has a prop that can be infinitely extended like a golden cudgel. With this prop, they may be able to complete the task by stepping on the grass.
——Of course, all this is based on the assumption that there is no other layer of wrapping paper outside the box.
If there is a layer of outer wrapping paper, it will be more difficult for them to push open the lid, and they may have to use other props at that time.
Since Jia Jia might stop to "check" after the "master" opens the box, the other players may not be able to come out of the glass house. In order to prevent this from happening, they must wait until everyone who wants to come out comes out before starting this operation.
After the discussion, the group hurried back to the studio on the first floor to tinker with the toys again.
Li Shanyin seemed to have given up the idea of hiding in the glass house with Xu Ning, and with a conflicted look on her face, she destroyed the toys she had prepared.
Xu Ning sat at the long table for a long time, raised his hand several times, but was hesitant.
In the end, she didn't move.
She still wanted to take a gamble.
*
At night, the group stayed in their own rooms in the glass house.
Li Shanyin lay by the wall and yelled at Song Yang and the others, "You guys will help me, right? You really will help me, right?!"
Song Yang frowned and gestured for him to stay calm.
Li Shanyin continued to take deep breaths.
He turned around and sat back down on the bed, desperately wiping the cold sweat from his face.
When the dolls on Song Yang and Xia Jingfang's plates came to life, Song Yang said, "I'm sorry to bother you today, Boss Xia."
During the day, Song Yang had given all his props to Xia Jing.
This time, it was his turn to serve as bait for the secondary monster.
Xia Jing did not refute. After all, if Dr. Song got angry, it would be difficult to coax him.
When the little puppet on the square plate angrily kicked the pile of garbage away, a huge black shadow appeared outside the glass wall behind them. Song Yang said lazily, "It's time for me to enjoy the feeling of winning without doing anything."
The next second, the glass wall was shattered with a "bang" and Song Yang was carried out.
Xia Jing raised his calm face amid the flying glass fragments, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
…
It was clearly going to be a long night.
Based on their current experience, the time that the secondary monster punishes the player is mostly around fifteen minutes.
Huge monsters, tiny humans, at this moment even a second seems as long as a year.
Everyone was nervously watching the two people outside.
The giant grabbed Song Yang in his hand and angrily threw him into the thorn bush.
Xia Jing stepped on the props and jumped high, constantly disrupting the giant's movements from all directions, causing its attacks to deviate again and again.
This time, everyone's vision was unobstructed. They saw with their own eyes that Song Yang only had a few bloody marks, but the monster looked excited as if it had succeeded. They finally felt that "this works"!
Li Shanyin excitedly said, "Yes, this really works!"
The young man who kept jumping in the night was very calm, and the man lying in the monster's hands was also very relaxed.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding and trust between each other that outsiders could not explain, and this feeling also boosted the confidence of the others.
When fifteen minutes were about to arrive, Xia Jing gently lifted the monster's wrist with his sword, and a sharp spike pierced Song Yang's upper arm.
In the glass house, Li Shanyin and Sun Qianqian exclaimed!
However, immediately afterwards, the monster and the thorn bush disappeared, and Song Yang fell from the air calmly and was caught by Xia Jing.
Song Yang stared at Xia Jing's face, feeling the young man methodically spraying the medicine on the wound on his arm, and complained: "You really are not panicking at all."
When he saw Xia Jing's shoulder being pierced yesterday, his mind at least went blank for a moment.
Xia Jing raised his eyebrows, looking like, "Doctor Song, you are really difficult to deal with."
Song Yang continued to complain: "What would you do if you made a mistake and it was my heart that was pierced?"
Xia Jing said calmly: "I won't make mistakes."
Doctor Song was being unreasonable: "What if there really was a mistake?"
After Xia Jing finished bandaging him, he stood up and said, "Theoretically, I won't make a mistake, but if you keep asking, I might actually make a mistake."
Song Yang: "?!"
The corner of his mouth twitched.
What kind of murder manifesto is this?!
Xia Jing laughed when he saw his expression. He squinted his eyes and said, "You are really cute, Doctor Song."
The young man pianpian said: "Please rest assured, no matter what happens, I will never let you die like this."
"I never let anyone take what's mine."
Xia Jing said this lightly.
Song Yang suddenly stopped.
He touched his heart calmly.
It was so terrible that at this moment he really felt that his heart was pierced by an arrow.
When it was Fengshi and Bianya's turn, they did the same.
Yesterday, it was Bian Ya who was targeted by the secondary monster, but today it was Feng Shi who took the initiative to stand up and put his life in the hands of the other three people.
With the help of three people, Feng Shi had an easy time in this round.
The little girl kept hammering the iron bridge, while the other three kept moving the iron bridge with props.
The gravel repeatedly brushed against Feng Shi's hair, soles of his feet, and shoulders, falling around him like the outline of a human body, but his body was spotless.
——As long as the attack actually touches the player's body, the attack is considered effective and the secondary monster will be satisfied.
Of course, a thorough blow is needed in the end before the secondary monster will really leave.
So for the last time, the three of them exerted their strength together, and the boulders fell, one of which severely broke Feng Shi's left leg.
Feng Shi groaned, and the girl and Tieqiao disappeared. The three rushed over and immediately helped him spray medicine and bandage it.
Next it was Li Shanyin's turn.
After watching the first two rounds, Li Shanyin has secretly gained a lot of confidence.
But when he was pinched out by Giant Jack, the fear of the first night of torture came back to him, and he began to tremble violently.
During the day, he chose to remove the water that served as "vinegar".
Unable to treat his injured leg with "vinegar" and "paper" as in the nursery rhyme, Jack was furious and seemed to want to beat Li Shanyin like he did on the first night until his body was broken into pieces!
Song Yang and his team observed the monster's movement trends and made a quick judgment.
Protective items cannot block the monsters' attacks. They are as fragile as cardboard to the secondary monsters in this dungeon.
The monster's attack would inevitably cause Li Shanyin to penetrate those props and fall to the real ground.
Then the hands and feet they can move are the "real ground".
They used props to quickly cut a pile of grass on the lawn and piled it up high. Then they hit the monster's arms, forcing it to knock Li Shanyin down in that direction.
But at this time, an accident occurred——
Perhaps because he was too frightened, Li Shanyin fell into panic and completely forgot what Song Yang and the others had told him beforehand. He took out another protective item stored in his space bag.
Song Yang and the others' expressions changed, and they shouted sternly, "Don't activate the props!"
But it was too late.
The protective props were activated, and a bubble appeared on the grass.
Li Shanyin was hit by the bubble and bounced back without any injury.
The monster picked him up and looked at the bubble with a frown.
At this moment, Li Shanyin came back to his senses and his expression became blank.
He moved his lips and looked at Song Yang and the others blankly.
Song Yang and the others frowned.
——If the punished person resists the monster, it will directly anger the monster and cause it to go into a violent state.
The next second, the monster angrily picked up Li Shanyin.
Everything seemed to have returned to the first night.
Under the horrified gazes of Xu Ning, Sun Qianqian and the others, and under the strenuous attacks of Song Yang and the others, the monster's arms did not slow down at all, and smashed right into the bubble!
Li Shanyin's body fell rapidly, turning into a residual shadow, smashing the bubble, breaking the pile of grass, and embedding heavily in the soil!
With a loud bang, dust flew up.
Suddenly, a bloody red stain spread out from under his face.
