Chapter 78: Hard Mode
ISO is Recruiting Translators!
Have a dropped novel you want to read more chapters of?
After hearing the system prompt, Xing Ye's group was transported back to the system space.

The black and white rubix cube hovered in the air as usual. "Congratulations to Player x8205 for achieving three perfect endings. This book is your reward."

Xing Ye took the book titled "There Are No Lies in Puppet City" and read the conclusion: Under the kind little puppet's help, Master Benedict and the inhabitants of Puppet City acknowledged their wrongs and set aside their differences. The inhabitants of Puppet City promised Benedict to develop a comprehensive set of laws and turn Puppet City into a civilized and merry town for the little puppet to live happily in forever. Benedict also apologized to the puppets he had created with his own hands. He had given them life, yet never taught them how they should behave and promised to work with the puppets so they could improve together.

Xing Ye closed the book and set it on the bookshelf. He already had three books; he needed five for the final level.

The campus world had 7 players. Not including the side quest, the total reward points for a perfect ending was 14000 points. Puppet City had 8 players, and the total reward points were 16000. From this, Xing Ye speculated the total number of reward points correlated with the number of players in each world.

The black and white rubix cube saw Xing Ye set down the book and started distributing rewards. "Congratulations to player x8205 for successfully completing a story and achieving the highest amount of points out of all the players. You have the opportunity to draw an extra QR code or choose a prop from a world you've played through."

"What props are there?" Xing Ye asked.

The black and white rubix cube answered, "Only the nucleus control device, with the ability to control players with a machine-type body."

Xing Ye frowned slightly, "What about the swan crystal?"

The black and white rubix cube answered, "Player, please do not be too greedy. You already own a fate prop. Each player may only own one fate prop."

So it was like that? Then why did Randy want to turn Linda into a prop? Perhaps he or his stopwatch had the ability to absorb somebody else's starting abilities, or he didn't want to use his stopwatch any longer and wanted to change to a new following fate prop.

The former was more likely. During the fight, Randy just used Linda's power to cancel the effects of Domestic Garbage and Bai Xu's Diary. If he had more time, he might've had some way to erase Linda's consciousness and steal her abilities before the world ended.

"I'll choose a QR code," Xing Ye said, "I wasn't planning to choose a prop in the first place."

After knowing the reward QR code would make the mirror stronger, there was no way Xing Ye would choose a prop. The first equippable QR code gave the mirror the ability to change bodies. What would this one be?

Xing Ye took out the cosmetic mirror. After returning to the system space, the mirror returned to being a cosmetic mirror, his copper mirror puppet body was left in Puppet City

When he opened the mirror, the mirror asked happily, "Did we get a perfect ending for Puppet City?"

"Yes," Xing Ye rubbed the mirror, "All thanks to you."

The mirror, who had always loved boasting about himself, actually turned modest when he heard Xing Ye's praise. "No, it was because of your leadership."

Xing Ye nodded shamelessly, "Of course, it was my battle plans that led everyone to the perfect ending. I know, I'm just too good."

The mirror was flabbergasted for a while before shaking angrily, "Can't you continue praising me a bit more? And applauding yourself like that, don't you feel embarrassed?"
