Bai Youwei said, “Stand up.”

The plush rabbit stood up.

Bai Youwei said, “Sit down.”

The rabbit sat down.

Bai Youwei said again, “Walk forward three steps.”

The rabbit stood up again and obediently walked forward three steps—

One, two, three… arriving precisely at Shen Mo’s hand.

Shen Mo picked it up, wanting to examine it.

The plush rabbit seemed to refuse being touched by others, struggling in his hand.

Having learned from last time’s electric shock lesson, Shen Mo only frowned slightly before putting it down.

It scurried back into Bai Youwei’s embrace!

Shen Mo couldn’t help but laugh. “Like a little dog.”

Bai Youwei stroked the rabbit’s fluffy long ears, feeling quite melancholy. “Didn’t I say it right? This upgrade is completely useless… At most, I just have an extra toy that can understand voice commands.”

Shen Mo smiled faintly. “Remember what you said yourself—growing a brain is harder than growing muscles. It seems the maze is helping it grow a brain. It’ll get smarter and smarter in the future.”

“So will the electrical energy stay at one-tenth forever?” Bai Youwei stroked the rabbit ears, her expression quite disappointed.

Shen Mo said, “As for electrical energy, as long as it can cause injury, the difference between one and ten isn’t actually that big. But if the brain is smart enough, it might be very useful.”

“That’s true.” Bai Youwei’s mood improved. “Even if it can’t directly electrocute people into charcoal like the Overseer, just electrocuting them to death has the same result, right?”

Shen Mo: “…If you want to understand it that way, you can.”

Bai Youwei laughed, enthusiastically poking the plush rabbit’s head. “Hey, go pour me a glass of water.”

The rabbit nestled on her without moving.

“Is the command too difficult?” Bai Youwei mused to herself. “Then just bring me my insulated water bottle.”

The rabbit still didn’t move.

“It doesn’t know where the water bottle is.” Shen Mo stood up, took the water bottle from the nearby backpack, and placed it not far from the rabbit. “Try again.”

Bai Youwei said, “Bring me my water bottle.”

The rabbit twitched its ears, silently climbed down from Bai Youwei’s lap, walked step by step to the water bottle, and hugged it hard!

Dragging the water bottle backward, it fell over, got up, struggled to lift the water bottle, and continued bearing the weight forward!

Bai Youwei apparently wanted to test the rabbit’s limits and ordered again, “Unscrew the lid for me.”

Plush rabbit: “…”

It hugged the bottle lid in a daze.

Shen Mo pulled the water bottle from its paws, unscrewed the lid, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her. “It doesn’t have fingers. How do you expect it to unscrew the lid for you?”

“I was just testing randomly.” Bai Youwei took a sip of water and sighed quietly. “Aih, this prop’s usefulness is very limited at the current stage… When it releases electrical energy, it’s quite powerful, but the charge doesn’t last, and now there’s no place to recharge it.”

She handed the water cup lid back to Shen Mo. “We can only wait until next time we enter a maze to see.”

Next time entering a maze…

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Mazes have high risk. Next time… wait until we collect defensive props before entering a maze.”

Bai Youwei was silent for a moment, then nodded. “Mm.”

Although they came out of the maze very quickly this time… Of course, if that man hadn’t misled them at the start, Bai Youwei felt their maze exit speed would have been even faster.

But just as Shen Mo said, mazes had high risk.

No rules or hints, plus all kinds of disgusting monsters. If not for Shen Mo’s good skills, they might not have gotten out so quickly.

Just one greedy snake was troublesome enough.

Failing in the game allowed them to use puzzle pieces to exchange for a chance at life, but failing in the maze meant complete doom.

Bai Youwei asked Shen Mo with a complex expression, “Where do you think all those people trapped in the mazes went?”

Shen Mo pondered for a moment, then gently patted her head. “Alright, we just finished eating. Let’s not talk about such disgusting things.”

Bai Youwei closed her eyes. “…Mm.”
