"Um... why would his son's puppet be with Coco?" Guan Ling thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"It's just a guess, but I don't think it's a big deal." Xing Ye said, "I hypothesized it from all the information you gathered earlier. The game world's still less complicated than real life."

If this was in the real world, finding Benedict's son would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. However, the game world had already arranged many obvious clues to guide the following fate players, so it was naturally much easier to guess.

Cao Qian asked, "If we can guess Coco has Master Benedict's son's puppet, shouldn't the following fate players have also guessed it?"

Xing Ye shook her head, "They don't know about Benedict's son, right? But they also couldn't have told us all their information. I suspect they already found something from Coco before trading their used information with us."

"Then is it possible that they've already taken Benedict's son's puppet and are planning to give it to Master Benedict?" Guan Ling said anxiously, "I'm not afraid of losing by myself, since losing one or two hundred points isn't a big deal. However, if they don't get the real ending, there's just too many points we would lose."

"You don't have to worry about that," Xing Ye said leisurely, "Remember Randy? He's a reincarnation player, his goal isn't to get points, it's to get the true ending. He already knows the two following fate players, so if they swapped information, he'll stop a simple surface ending like this from happening." 

Guan Ling released a sigh of relief. Cao Qian had been taking down notes the entire time. She stared at the relationship map and her notes on Xing Ye's analysis for a long time before asking, "Then after Master Benedict gets his son and the surface ending is completed, will the city lord be instinctively forced to submit with his nature as a puppet, allowing Benedict to destroy the city and use the resources to create a new, perfect city? So what we have to do is help the city lord kill Benedict and protect the inhabitants of Puppet City?

Xing Ye didn't agree or disagree, instead saying, "It'd be good if things were really that simple. Right now, we don't have enough information. We don't have to rush. Tomorrow, we'll visit Coco and maybe we can find an answer there."

He glanced at Guan Ling and suddenly asked, "Say, how many opposing fate players do you think can reach high level worlds? Wouldn't most players choose to be blessed by fate since it'd be easier that way?"

"Not necessarily," Guan Ling said, "There's many people who think the opposite. Furthermore, we didn't know there would be such a big difference in luck values until after we picked our camp, so there shouldn't be a big disparity between the two camps."

Cao Qian also added, "The hardest part for opposing fate players is passing the novice world. As long as you can break through the novice world, it's fine. Chaos worlds are PVE, so even if you don't have any long-term teammates and solo, you can team up with following fate players to pick up some points.

"After going through enough worlds, you'll reach 50,000 points and become a high level player. There might be less opposing fate players than following fate players, but it's not like there's none at all."

"So it's like that." Xing Ye nodded and didn't continue.

He didn't tell Guan Ling about the fate of following fate players. It wasn't because he was worried Guan Ling would no longer want to be his teammate- Xing Ye wouldn't care about losing one or two teammates. He just didn't want this to make Guan Ling despair about something he wasn't quite yet certain about. There might still be a way to prevent it.
