Infinite: Dawn Game

The protagonist, who was the subject of much discussion about whether or not he was really going to eat "brain flowers," was not in a good mood at the moment.

For no other reason, as they approached the cafeteria on the first floor, Yu Shijiu saw a height and weight measuring device next to the nurses' station and immediately stood on it.

Although there was no response for a long time, the machine, which Yu Shijiu had become suspicious of, finally started to make a sound when a passing nurse, seemingly unable to bear it, put a dollar into it.

Accompanied by a childish jingling sound, a mechanical female voice came from the machine:

"Your height is 169.3 cm and your weight is 40.3 kg."

Many players who were also heading to the cafeteria glanced back at Yu Shijiu's back and felt for some reason that the other person was under a lot of pressure.

Is it because of the game?

Yu Shijiu's smile gradually disappeared. He expressionlessly pulled out the paper that the machine had spat out, looked down at his height and weight on it, and then turned to look at the nurse next to the nurses' station.

Nurse:"……"

She looked at Yu Shijiu, whose expression was clearly displeased, and asked, "Sir, is there something you need?"

As she spoke, she added a reminder: "The cafeteria will be opening soon—"

"I want to file a complaint."

Yu Shijiu interrupted the nurse and walked to the nurses' station, placing the crumpled piece of paper he was holding there.

"..." The nurse looked down in confusion, first glancing at the note and then at the other person, somewhat puzzled by Yu Shijiu's behavior:

"So what do you want to complain about? If it's something we did wrong, you can ask us to correct it. But if it's a complaint, I suggest you don't do it."

At this point, the nurse's expression became somewhat strange, and her originally sweet smile became distorted.

"It's broken."

Yu Shijiu pointed to the height and weight measuring machine that stood quietly in place and said expressionlessly:

"Its measurement is inaccurate."

Nurse:"……"

Even though the boy in front of her was still expressionless, she strangely sensed that he was aggrieved.

Feeling wronged? Feeling wronged about what?

The nurse looked down blankly and opened the note.

Yu Shijiu: "I am clearly 170cm tall. The measurement is inaccurate. You should get a new machine."

Nurse:"……"

Her face, which was about to turn into a grotesque expression, instantly calmed down, and when she looked up again, she continued to show her signature fake smile:

"The machine is working fine, could you please not disturb my work?"

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He felt a little itchy and gripped the fruit knife tightly, but after gripping it again and again, he still chose to turn around and go to the cafeteria.

However, as he passed the machine, he couldn't help but kick it. The loud "bang" made the nurses at the nurses' station look up at the same time, their mouths twitching.

The players in front of the screen burst out laughing. Several players who were eating noodles almost inhaled the noodles into their noses and kept coughing and drinking water.

"What the heck? Why did Yu Shijiu suddenly change his style? Wasn't he just about to stab this nurse?"

"Maybe he finds it troublesome, after all, he hasn't figured out how to pass the level?"

"Hahaha, you're not a ninja, are you? I almost died laughing at that scene just now, okay? I didn't expect Yu Shijiu to be so funny? Did she break down because of his height?"

"...It seems like she's broken down; she probably can't accept that she's not even 1.7 meters tall."

"Speaking of which, Yu Shijiu is indeed a bit short. Is he an adult yet?"

"Is he an adult? I'm not sure about the specifics."

"..."

As Lu Chusheng passed by the square carrying his things, he once again saw a group of players gathered in front of Yu Shijiu's live stream screen, laughing and joking.

what happened again?

Lu Chusheng stood still for a few minutes. After learning the reason for everyone's laughter, a slight smile appeared on his cold face.

However, after laughing, he looked at Yu Shijiu's thin limbs and fleshless face on the screen and silently frowned.

Is it because they weren't raised well in real life?

Yu Shijiu looks slender and long-limbed; he shouldn't be under 1.7 meters tall at eighteen. With adequate nutrition, an eighteen-year-old boy should be at least 175 cm tall.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Chusheng lingered for a while, until a player from the same monitoring guild coughed a few times, and Lu Chusheng came back to his senses.

"Captain Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Chusheng subconsciously replied, "I'm thinking about whether or not to raise a child."

Player: "...A kid?"

What the heck? Captain Lu has a child?!

Lu Chusheng snapped out of his daze, glanced at the player whose face was full of shock, and didn't bother to explain his meaning to him.

He watched the boy's receding figure on the screen, then picked up his things and left.

Yu Shijiu and Lai Bao look very similar.

Both are skinny and bony with sharp teeth and mouths, and both raise their claws to grab at the other when in danger, refusing to let go, except one is a human and the other is a cat.

Raising a person is very different from raising a cat, and Lu Chusheng was only considering it.

Most importantly, Lu Chusheng felt that Yu Shijiu looked familiar, but he had no memory of Yu Shijiu.

It's a bit strange.

--------

In the game, the nurses only started complaining when Yu Shijiu's figure disappeared around the corner.

"This patient seems to have some mental issues, right? They suddenly started complaining, which really scared me, but it turns out it's because the machine is broken?"

"Wasn't that machine by the door only bought recently? How could it be broken?"

“I think,” the nurse who responded to Yu Shijiu said with a strange smile on her face:

"He must have been shocked by his actual height."

With shoes on, you're only 169cm; without shoes, you'd be at least 167cm.

------

Yu Shijiu, completely unaware that she was being carried away and discussed by several nurses, had already reached the entrance of the cafeteria.

He watched as people came and went, and quite a few strange figures dressed as doctors and nurses lined up to get food. He silently stepped forward and joined the queue.

"Ha Qiu—"

Yu Shijiu suddenly sneezed, her eyes moist and confused as she looked at the strange doctor in front of her. She glanced back at herself, somewhat puzzled as to why she had sneezed.

Was it because you got cold last night?

Yu Shijiu raised his hand to touch his head, then lowered it, realizing the action was silly.

The hospital breakfast looked normal: white steamed buns, white rice porridge, and some pickled vegetables and green beans. Although it was simple, judging from the way the strange doctors, nurses, and patients around me were enjoying their meals, it seemed to taste pretty good.

However, even if it tastes good, most players still wouldn't dare to eat it.

Who knows what strange things these things are actually made of, even though they look normal.

So most players just made some plain rice porridge and sat there stirring it with no appetite.

Yu Shijiu was quite bold. After ordering two large steamed buns and porridge, he placed them by the window and then secretly took out a pig brain from his pocket and handed it to the strange aunt serving the food.

Blood vessels still remain in the grooves and wrinkles on the surface of the brain, which is exactly the kind of fresh look that clean-loving monsters like.

"Do you want this?"

Yu Shijiu asked.
