Qiu Qinghong decided to test the puppet form's combat capabilities again.
He had a feeling that the human form might be a bit of a letdown. Although one would imagine it to be agile, cool, and strong, in reality, it was as fragile as paper.
According to Wei Chengjie, to prevent players from feeling too discouraged due to part destruction, like previously being decapitated by a monster's upward thrust, it seemed that the game had armor-like equipment such as helmets, meaning you could specifically stack the defensive power of certain body parts.
But this was just a demo, and those armors weren't available yet.
Moreover, Qiu Qinghong highly doubted whether there would actually be helmets in a game set in the Victorian Era.
Even if there were special armors to protect the head, they probably wouldn't be easy to obtain.
So if he couldn't beat them, why not join them? If puppets were strong, why not become a puppet himself?
