Infinite: Dawn Game

"..."

In the crowd, Xu Han leaned against He Lingling and coughed softly, whispering:

"Don't you find this statement strange? Although their service seems excellent, why do I feel like laughing when I hear it?"

He Lingling: "..."

She gave a dismissive snort. "Maybe it's because you want to die."

Xu Han: "..."

Chen Yi, who was standing to the side, had already opened the main door of the Fuling Hotel and quickly turned around.

The number of players in this game instance wasn't large, but it was still roughly thirty. Among them were some familiar-looking players, similar to—

Pastoral rules.

Once he was certain that he hadn't mistaken the timid male player who was trying to avoid his gaze for Mu Gui, Chen Yi's expression gradually turned cold.

It really was pastoral law; he thought he was seeing things... but since it was pastoral law—

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly looked to Mu Gui's side and, unsurprisingly, saw a familiar female figure.

A beautiful woman dressed in a nun's habit was speaking to Mu Gui, her bright red lips shimmering under the hotel lights.

Seemingly noticing Chen Yi's gaze, the woman looked up at him and smiled slightly.

"Hello."

The woman silently opened her mouth across the crowd and greeted Chen Yi.

Chen Yi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly composed himself and nodded slightly in response.

In the town, there are quite a few female players who like to wear nun's clothes, most of them to follow the player codenamed "Nun" in the Black Robe Church.

The physical characteristics of a nun are that she is beautiful and usually wears loose-fitting nun's clothes, but few people have actually seen what she looks like.

The reason lies in the uniqueness of her innate skills.

After her talent for developing medicines was activated, the nun, who used to frequently run game dungeons to earn points, almost never logged into the game again.

The high-priced drugs could easily cover the nuns' normal expenses and entertainment—and even more.

The nun's points are at least close to 500,000.

Such impressive points would surely earn her a place on the leaderboard, but because the nun doesn't play the game often, no one knows what she looks like.

Because the nun is one of only two female players on the leaderboard, she has attracted many female players to follow and imitate her.

If it weren't for the fact that the pastoral ritual had already been "recruited" by the nuns, Chen Yi would never have imagined that the woman was actually a nun.

This also meant that Chen Yi didn't immediately notice the scene of the nun "flirting" with Yu Shijiu on the bus.

He initially thought it was just a chance interaction between players... but if the other person really was a nun, then it would be a different story.

"...Shi Jiu".

As they walked into the Fuling Hotel with the crowd, Chen Yi quickly called out to Yu Shijiu, using the crowd as cover.

Yu Shijiu was thinking about what they would eat after Feifei was brought over when Chen Yi grabbed his arm with a slight force.

"Hmm? Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Yi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes, which were squeezed so tightly by his flesh that they were now just slits, were filled with seriousness.

"Watch out for the woman on the bus."

“She is very likely a nun from the Black Robe Church,” Chen Yi paused for a second, “and yes, the sixth-ranked player on the leaderboard.”

Yu Shijiu's pupils contracted slightly, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise. "A nun? Sixth place?"

"Yes."

Chen Yi clearly knew a lot, and he quickly shared some things about the town with Yu Shijiu amidst the chaotic conversations of the crowd.

"It's also my fault, I forgot to tell you these things before."

Chen Yi felt somewhat guilty. "Currently, there are only two female players in the top ten of the town's points rankings. One is a ten-year-old girl named Mutangtang, and the other is the nun I just mentioned."

"But I don't know much about the nun either. I only know that she has a very low level of interest in men, and seems to dislike them a bit... although it seems that the pastoral rules are an exception."

Chen Yi paused for a second, "That's not the main reason I'm telling you this. The problem now is that the nun has entered the game. Because of her talent skill's lack of points, the nun almost never enters game dungeons. So this time, I suspect that the Black Robe Church sent her to get close to you."

"Doesn't the nun have a name? Is her just called 'Nun'?"

Yu Shijiu listened patiently and then expressed his doubts.

"...The nun doesn't seem to have a name," Chen Yi remained serious and meticulous in response to Yu Shijiu's question. "That's not the important issue, Shijiu. What I want to tell you is that if she's just trying to recruit you, it's not a big problem. But if she has other intentions..."

Chen Yi's voice lowered as he spoke, and for the first time, anxiety and worry appeared in the eyes of this usually smiling, chubby man. "If she wants to kill you, you'll be in real danger."

"It's ok."

Yu Shijiu naturally didn't miss the worry in Chen Yi's eyes. He smiled, covered his mouth, yawned, and blinked, saying:

"If she really wants to kill me, it's okay."

"..."

“Shi Jiu,” Chen Yi licked his lips, “you probably didn’t understand what I meant, but the nun’s methods of killing are different from others—”

"so what?"

Yu Shijiu said lightly, "Why not just fight back?"

Chen Yi: "..."

He watched Yu Shijiu's retreating figure as she walked away with the crowd, and sighed softly.

Xu Han and He Lingling, who had been listening intently behind them for a while, exchanged a glance.

The former looked completely bewildered, while the latter appeared calm.

"Brother Chen, don't worry too much."

Seeing that Chen Yi was sweating profusely, He Lingling comforted him:

“It’s not so easy for the nun to kill someone. Don’t forget this is a game. Even if she wanted to kill someone, she would have to find an opportunity to do so. We don’t know what we will encounter at the Fuling Hotel yet, so we shouldn’t worry.”

"……Do not."

Chen Yi closed his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The nun's methods are different from what you think."

"What's the difference? Aren't they all just fighting?"

This is what Xu Han asked.

He didn't know this either, because Chen Yi and An Jie hadn't told him.

He Lingling seemed to have guessed something, and her originally calm expression changed slightly.

"...Strictly speaking, the nun's talent skill is support-type, but the potions she makes are too effective."

Chen Yi said, "This also leads to the high price. Although the side effects of making the potion are that the nun's body will rot to varying degrees and she will fall into a coma, she already had a way to transfer this fatal side effect."

"Moreover, she can prepare various potions with different effects in town in advance."

"Therefore, she could easily give away the potion for free, thereby making all the players hate Shi Jiu..."

He Lingling's pupils dilated in shock. She murmured the words that should have been spoken by Chen Yi, her heart pounding so hard that she felt like she was going to lose oxygen to her brain.
