Infinite: Dawn Game

Chen Yi: Me too.

Yu Shijiu sipped his fish soup and raised his hand to indicate, "Me too."

Fatty, oblivious to everything else, continued eating the last piece of grilled fish.

Wow! Grilled fish is so delicious, meow!

He Lingling's face darkened. "So we have to eat here from now on at the hotel?"

Even knowing it was inevitable, He Lingling was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.

Whether she could bring out other things or not was irrelevant, but when it came to food, especially after knowing exactly what the meat in the restaurant was made of... she found it hard to be optimistic about what would happen next.

"Probably," Yu Shijiu replied this time, taking a sip of fish soup and speaking earnestly.

"That's what happened to me in Changsheng Village. At first, it was just that the seasonings were expired, but later all the food turned into fake food made of earthworms."

“Chen Ge and I can both testify,” Xu Han stuck out his tongue, looking utterly disgusted.

"It's really disgusting towards the end. I feel like those earthworms are the distorted consciousness of those NPCs, or strictly speaking, they should also be human flesh, right?"

Xu Han deliberately turned his head to look at Chen Yi, seeking his approval.

Chen Yi nodded, "You could say that."

In short, it's disgusting.

He Lingling, who didn't finish watching the live stream: "...So what happened next, was it food or something else?"

Although most players are unwilling to eat strange things, when they are starving, who cares what the food is made of? As long as they won't die, they will stuff it into their stomachs. Some players will spend some points to cleanse their stomachs after leaving the game dungeon, while others will just vomit and feel weak for a few days before recovering.

Unfortunately, He Lingling felt that she was unlikely to be able to do it.

She felt it would be better to starve to death than to eat those things—but maybe not, she might change her mind later…

“No, not at all,” Yu Shijiu shook his head. “I ate quite a lot at every meal the past few days, but I realized something was wrong the last day, so I didn’t eat. I wasn’t very hungry.”

He Lingling instantly breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, which she had just spoken of:

"That's great."

This isn't discrimination... she just simply felt a little nauseous at the thought of "food" made from twisted earthworm flesh mixed with human flesh...

As Xu Han clearly recalled some memories, he vomited again.

The player next to me finally couldn't take it anymore, turned his head and cursed, "Can you stop vomiting? I can't eat anything when I hear you vomiting!"

Xu Han: "..."

He quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I have a very small appetite—"

"That's because you're not good enough."

Yu Shijiu looked up and interrupted the player next to her, her almond-shaped eyes staring intently into the other person's eyes, without a trace of emotion deep within them.

“You’re still not hungry. If you were really hungry, what’s the gagging sound? Even if you throw up, you can still eat your food.”

The player next to me: "..."

He was furious and wanted to argue, but his companion on the other side held him back.

"Alright, stop causing trouble and focus on clearing the dungeon."

His companion glanced cautiously at Yu Shijiu and the chubby guy next to him who was engrossed in eating grilled fish, and whispered:

"Are you crazy? This isn't Yu Shijiu, who's been all the rage lately..."

The companion didn't explain the rest clearly, and the player next to him finally remembered Yu Shijiu's face, feeling fear and not daring to look up again.

Xu Han was still a little embarrassed, so he apologized to the player next to him, and then looked at Yu Shijiu with a touched expression.

"Shi Jiu, you really are something! We really are best buddies!"

"?"

Yu Shijiu glanced at him in surprise and said vaguely:

"I was just telling the truth, he's just not hungry."

"Otherwise, why would you be vomiting while Fatty and I can eat without any worries?"

Xu Han felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart, and managed a weak "oh."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, "Shi Jiu is right. If we still try to constrain others with our realistic ideas now that we're here, then we're being too naive."

His implication was that Xu Han's condition was perfectly normal for any ordinary player, but to the player sitting next to him, it sounded like a blatant threat and mockery.

The player next to him dared not speak out in anger, and could only snort angrily before getting up and switching seats with his companions away from Yu Shijiu and the others.

"..."

Xu Han scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm still too timid..."

"That's normal."

This is what He Lingling said.

"I felt a little nauseous just now too."

He Lingling spoke the truth.

She believed that any normal person would react much like Xu Han upon hearing that the meat they had almost eaten was human flesh.

"Meow!"

When the hotel staff brought out the salad and fish soup rice, Feifei finally finished his grilled fish and started licking his paws and fur.

The four of them fell silent and quietly lowered their heads to eat.

After they had almost finished eating, Chen Yi looked up at Yu Shijiu, who was now sitting on the sofa, looking around the restaurant, having eaten and drunk her fill.

"Oh, right, Shi Jiu."

Chen Yi said, "You need to be careful of that female player in the nun's habit."

"The person who talked to you on the bus."

“I know,” Yu Shijiu replied lazily, “She’s a player from the Black Robe Church.”

"you know?"

Chen Yi asked in surprise, "Did she have contact with you in town?"

“No,” Yu Shijiu shook his head, “She told me herself on the fourth floor just now.”

"..."

He Lingling and Xu Han looked up at the same time, "Fourth floor?"

Chen Yi's squinting smile froze for a moment. "She's on the same floor as you?"

"Yes."

Yu Shijiu didn't care much. "She lives in the room opposite the elevator. By the way, it seems that Mu Gui shares a room with her."

Yu Shijiu caught a glimpse of this in the room behind the nun out of the corner of his eye before entering the elevator.

Mu Gui's physique is quite easy to recognize.

Chen Yi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You need to be careful of the nun. She probably entered the game with the intention of killing you if she fails to recruit you..."

Chen Yi quickly recounted his and He Lingling's speculations.

"I think she would rather kill me than recruit me."

Yu Shijiu said with a smile, "I guess they think it's too much trouble to recruit me."

The nun's murderous intent was quite obvious, not to mention Yu Shijiu, who had direct contact with her.

"...The nun has a short patience."

Chen Yi clearly knew more; he frowned and reminded him:

"As far as I know, she has less patience for men than for women. If you think she wants to kill you, it's best not to get too close to her."

"understood."

Yu Shijiu responded, stroking the chubby cat's head and fluffy fur. The comfortable feel made him squint his eyes.

"She wanted to kill me, and I wanted to kill her too."
