Infinite: Dawn Game

"Doesn't this mean that in this game, we not only need to fight against the monsters within the game, but also other players who might be turned against us for the sake of the nun?!"

He Lingling was so shocked that she almost lost her footing, but Xu Han quickly caught her.

"Be careful," Xu Han muttered, though he was also terrified.

"……Yes."

Even though he was unwilling to admit it, Chen Yi had no choice but to nod.

He watched Yu Shijiu, who was already squeezing through the crowd and heading towards the hotel reception, and closed his eyes.

"Now we can only try to think of things in a more positive light."

Chen Yi said, "What if the nun hadn't had this idea?"

--------

As the third-to-last "explorer" to receive a hotel room key, the nun, with the cowering pastor on her arm, smiled at the hotel receptionist.

"Could you please book a room for me and my assistant?"

"……assistant?"

The receptionist paused in her typing, looking puzzled.

"I remember that all the guests checking in this time came alone—"

"We just met."

The nun interrupted the receptionist, "I offered him a generous salary and invited him to be my assistant, is that not allowed?"

"..." The receptionist looked at her for a while, and finally smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

"But madam, I think I should tell you in advance that if you insist on living with this gentleman who is your assistant, then your respective pets will also have to live with you."

"It's ok."

The nun remained unfazed. "I believe my pet will get along well with my assistant's pet."

"...Then I hope you have a pleasant stay."

The receptionist quickly collected the nun and pastor's identification documents, processed their room keys, and finally handed each of them a room key.

"The pets will meet you at night. Don't worry, they are very docile and obedient, and will be your favorite pets."

After saying this ambiguous remark, the receptionist put on her pretty face with a habitual, fake smile.

It was a very eerie and strange smile.

The nun took the room key as if she hadn't seen anything, smiled and kissed the key through the air, then winked at the receptionist.

"Thank you for understanding."

"I think I'm really looking forward to my pet seeing how I am."

"..."

The herdsman beside him kept his head down and didn't say a word.

Whether it was the nun suddenly suggesting they share a room or the hotel receptionist speaking, he kept his head down and remained silent.

Until the nun led him up the empty elevator, Mu Gui's heart suddenly ached.

He was in so much pain that he fell to his knees, his face pale, and looked up at the nun who had let go of his hand and was leaning against the side.

The nun didn't look at him. She glanced down at the room key in her hand and pressed the button to go to the fourth floor.

"Big, my lord."

"What were you thinking about just now?"

The nun, having pressed the floor button, smiled and bowed her head. "Were you just thinking about what to do if you run into someone you know?"

Mu Gui's face turned even paler, and he clutched his throbbing chest as he reached for the nun's leg.

The nun made no attempt to dodge, allowing the shepherd to grab her calf.

"Let me guess, you must be thinking, 'Oh my god, what should I do? Chen Yi is in this game too, how am I supposed to face him? Wait, no, Chen Yi was only in the team for a little over a month, he probably doesn't know much...' and so on."

"Am i right?"

The nun asked.

The priest shook his head in anguish, clutching the fabric on the nun's calf tightly.

"...No, no, sir, I... I didn't think that much, really, I didn't—"

"Shhh."

The nun gently kicked the shepherd, who was in so much pain that he was already gagging. The force of the kick caused him to collapse to the ground, unable to move.

"I don't like it when people make excuses, pastoral rules."

“But I don’t care about these things this time,” the nun said with a smile, stroking her polished nails.

"Consider this pain a warning against your attempts to justify yourself. Also, I didn't pursue the matter of you killing one of my rather useful medicine dolls last time, did I?"

“Pastoral rules,” the nun raised her hand, squinting at the glaring lights in the elevator, and said softly:

"I don't think I need to explain the meaning of 'making amends for past mistakes' to you again and again, do I?"

"...Yes, I know."

"Please, please give me another chance."

----------

"Please take your room key."

The receptionist handed the room key to the second-to-last guest, smiling and repeating her blessing.

"I wish you a pleasant stay."

Boom!

"Sister, I need to check in."

The sound of knocking on the front desk startled the receptionist, who quickly stood up and looked outside.

A cute little girl in a pink princess dress and wearing a crown smiled sweetly at her and repeated it again in her childish voice:

"Sister, I need to check in."

The receptionist paused for only a second before nodding and habitually preparing to type on the keyboard—"...By the way, where is your guardian?"

She suddenly remembered the regulations of Fuling Hotel regarding minors, and her fingers stopped typing abruptly.

"what?"

The little girl in the pink princess dress tilted her head. "Are you talking about my grandma, sister?"

"Yes," the receptionist smiled, "little girl, you need to be accompanied by a parent to check into the Fuling Hotel."

"My grandma's almost here!" The little girl pouted and called out to the hotel entrance, "Grandma! Hurry up, the receptionist is calling us!"

The receptionist quickly explained, "...Little girl, I didn't mean to rush you and your grandma—"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Grandma walked into the hotel coughing, the little girl quickly ran over and held her arm, saying worriedly:

Grandma, is your cold still not better?

"Grandma is feeling much better now," Grandma Mu said affectionately, reaching out to pat the little girl's head. "Did Tangtang tell the receptionist that we need to check in?"

"I told you."

Mutangtang held onto Grandma Mu's arm and looked up, "But the receptionist said that Grandma needs to accompany me to check in."

"Oh dear," Grandma Mu quickly hurried closer to the front desk, saying apologetically.

"I forgot about it, I'm so sorry, did Tangtang cause you any trouble?"

"No, no, your granddaughter is very cute."

The receptionist quickly shook her head, took the two people's identification documents from Grandma Mu, and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.

"All right."

The receptionist handed the room key and ID to Grandma Mu and smiled at Mu Tangtang, who was walking obediently beside Grandma Mu.

Xylitol responded with a sweet smile.

After the two entered the elevator, the receptionist smiled and said to Xiao Li, who had been standing silently behind her:

"Wow, the adventurers who are signing up these days all have such young kids..."
