Infinite: Dawn Game

The cafeteria lady paused, her eyes greedily fixed on the cleaned pig brain. Her forked, slender tongue circled her lips, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth into the bowl of white porridge in front of her.

The players around who witnessed this scene instantly lost even the thought of stirring the rice porridge.

Holy crap?! Did they actually add something to this?! Does food safety not matter in games anymore?!

"Good stuff, where did you get it?"

The strange aunt reached out and took the brain with a very light touch, as if she were afraid of crushing it.

“It was a gift from someone else,” Yu Shijiu said. He was standing in front of the window, and the cafeteria lady in front of him, whose gluttony was turning into a strange form, did not frighten him.

"It should be quite novel. I'd like to use this to exchange some information with you."

The cafeteria lady lowered her head and licked the faint traces of blood from the pig brain. The fresh, juicy, and tender brain brought a satisfied smile to her face, and she happily tapped the rice spoon in her hand.

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to speak, the nurse behind him seemed unable to resist the "fragrance" of the pig brain and suddenly stepped forward to grab the pig brain from the cafeteria aunt's hand.

The cafeteria lady's "pleasant" expression suddenly froze. She stared coldly at the strange nurse who dared to steal her "food," and her forked tongue shot out like a snake, wrapping around the strange nurse's entire body.

Accompanied by the eerie screams of the nurse, she was gradually enveloped by the sticky saliva on the cafeteria aunt's tongue, becoming a cocoon that was swallowed whole by the latter.

The monsters behind them, who had been drooling with envy, scattered instantly and ran to other windows to queue for food.

"Burp," the cafeteria lady let out a burp, but her expression wasn't exactly pleasant.

"The weird taste is still as bad as ever."

Despite her disgust, the cafeteria lady still licked up all the blood and rotten flesh that had splattered from the strange nurse's chewing earlier.

Seeing Yu Shijiu staring at him, he went to the cafeteria lady and explained while licking his food:

"It can't be dirty; at least it has to look presentable on the surface. That's the rule for hospital cafeterias."

Yu Shijiu had no objection to this, but he had no appetite for the rice porridge and steamed buns, since who knew if they had been licked?

"I want to know about Xue Yan."

Yu Shijiu said.

The strange aunt paused in her grip on the brain, hesitantly raising her eyelids to look at the boy opposite her, and asked suspiciously:

"Why are you asking about her? Don't tell me you've got your eye on her too? I'm not saying this to be mean, but Xue Yan is pretty, but she's quite a bit older than you. Why do young people these days prefer older women..."

The cafeteria lady was clearly elderly, and she kept rambling on and on until Yu Shijiu interrupted her, at which point she reluctantly stopped talking.

"What does Xue Yan have to say?"

The cafeteria lady seemed different from the female ghost in the bathroom; even though her eyes still held a mocking glint, her tone seemed to carry a hint of sympathy.

"She came from a poor family, had no education or skills, and started out cleaning at our sanatorium, only able to clean toilets every day. Later, because she was pretty, our director took a liking to her, and look, she became the head nurse on the fourth floor."

Yu Shijiu feigned surprise and exclaimed, clearly curious that an illiterate person could be a head nurse. She blinked and said:

"How can someone who knows nothing become a head nurse?"

The cafeteria lady chuckled and winked, saying:

"Our sanatorium is private, and there aren't any serious illnesses on the fourth floor that require the nurses' attention. As long as our director likes it, tsk tsk tsk, isn't education something that can be made up for later?"

Yu Shijiu, who had never been a corporate slave, was amazed by this:

"So it was a nepotism relationship."

But hearing this, it's likely that everyone in the sanatorium knows who's backing Xue Yan. Right, didn't the head nurse on the first floor have to watch Xue Yan's face yesterday?

"That's right," the cafeteria auntie carefully ladled out a bowl of white rice porridge, stuffed in the pig brain, added some pickled vegetables and green beans, stirred it, and continued working while she was busy:

"However, using one's body to climb the social ladder isn't a good thing, in my opinion. Even if the people at the sanatorium don't say it to her face, they all curse her behind her back,"

The cafeteria lady paused here, glanced at Yu Shijiu in front of her a few times, and said somewhat guiltily:

"Well, anyway, those words were really dirty. You look too young, so I'd better not repeat them to you one by one. But anyway,"

"To be honest, our dean isn't exactly an easy person to talk to. Haven't you seen Xue Yan wearing makeup and high heels every day? I guess it's because the dean likes it. Otherwise, what woman would want to wear high heels all day long? Going out to play is one thing, but who can wear them all the time? It's exhausting..."

As the cafeteria lady spoke, her words veered off-topic. It was clear she was usually a "talkative" oddball, but it was unclear how much of the insults directed at Xue Yan she had participated in.

However, the dean...

Yu Shijiu raised an eyebrow thoughtfully, arousing great curiosity about the Dean, who had not yet made an appearance.

"By the way," Yu Shijiu interrupted the cafeteria lady, "Does Xue Yan have children?"

Xuexue is Xue Yan's daughter, and the strange creature in the bathroom seems to know that too. Logically speaking, someone as talkative as the cafeteria aunt shouldn't have remained completely silent about Xuexue's existence.

Is it because they don't know?

The cafeteria lady abruptly stopped speaking, her eyes widening in disbelief:

"Children? Xue Yan has children?"

"My God! That's even worse! Having a child means having a husband, and if a husband with a child is having an affair with the director, it's not just about vanity! It's about character, no, now it should be said that there's a problem with her character, a really big problem..."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

It seems they don't know.

He recalled the scene yesterday when Xue Yan completely forbade Xuexue from calling him "Mom" and instead called her "Nurse Auntie," so he wasn't too shocked by it.

The nurses, doctors, and even the cafeteria ladies at the entire sanatorium were gossiping about Xue Yan's "rise to power." Adding to this, Xue Yan clearly loved her daughter very much, and her daughter, suffering from heart disease, couldn't withstand any stimulation. It's even possible that Xue Yan herself was ashamed to let her daughter know about her "selling herself"...

Judging from this, Xue Yan probably doesn't dare let others know that Xuexue is her daughter.

Otherwise, living in a place with a child, you probably wouldn't even be able to hold your head up high.

Although Yu Shijiu didn't think there was anything wrong with starting a conversation.

Sending her daughter to such an expensive private sanatorium on her own is quite an achievement, even if it means "selling herself."

Moreover, based on what the cafeteria staff have said so far, there is no mention of the dean having a family, which means that the dean is a relatively young, unmarried man.

Yu Shijiu felt that it would be more plausible that Xue Yan and the dean were dating.

I don't know why I was said such nasty things.

Yu Shijiu found it even harder to understand.
