Infinite: Dawn Game

He looked at the male player who was about to be dragged into the group of monsters and shouted.

"really?"

"If I save you, will you really give me all your tools?"

The male player was on the verge of despair when he suddenly heard Yu Shijiu's voice and immediately nodded frantically:

"Yes! I will! I will definitely give you all my items! Help me! Help me! Please, please, I can, I can give you another thousand, no, three thousand! Three thousand points!"

The male player felt like he had seen a glimmer of hope and frantically said everything he could.

Three thousand points is already the limit that an average player can achieve.

Yu Shijiu shook his head, dodged a monster that flung its head out as an attack, and said with a smile:

"No need, I just want your props."

"That's what you just said."

Chen Yi, standing nearby: "..."

Looking at the seriousness in Yu Shijiu's eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Anjie is right... Yu Shijiu is indeed a good child; he's just a child who lacks proper guidance...

The male player, whose body had already been torn in half by the monsters, looked at him, tears streaming down his face, and kept thanking him:

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you..."

The moment he finished speaking, the male player saw Yu Shijiu grip the axe tightly and run towards him at an incredible speed—

Just then, the black cat in the male player's arms started to hurt from being pressed down, and its sharp meow instantly drowned out the sounds of the surrounding monsters.

"Meow!!!"

When the black cat meowed, the male player felt the monster pulling on his leg loosen its grip a little.

Before he could react, the black cat on his chest suddenly burst out of his arms and charged at the monster that was grabbing the male player's leg.

The next second, Yu Shijiu, who was running this way, slowly stopped in place.

The black cat howled and lowered its head to bite at the monster's head. A sickening gnawing sound rang out, and the male player turned around in horror, just in time to see the black cat tearing off most of the monster's face.

The eerie staff member screamed shrilly, only to have its head crushed and thrown away by a black cat several times its size.

The male player's eyes almost popped out of their sockets—

After "rescuing" its owner, the black cat staggered over to the male player, rubbed against his face, and meowed several times.

The male player immediately pulled back his leg, which was throbbing with pain from being pulled, and quickly picked up his black cat pet, crying and shouting his gratitude repeatedly.

The black cat nestled in his arms, affectionately licking the male player's clothes with its paws.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

The male player's sudden action stunned all the players around him.

Including Fatty, who was squatting by the elevator looking this way.

Fatty looked curiously at the black cat in the male player's arms several times, its own eerie green eyes darting around in confusion.

Many players then turned to look at their pets.

Large pets are too big to pick up, but small pets are easy to lift.

This time, regardless of what the players were thinking, after seeing the male player being saved by his pet, they immediately bent down, hugged their pets, and ran forward.

“…So.” Yu Shijiu slowly walked back to Chen Yi’s side, glancing at the black cat in the male player’s arms with surprise.

"Are pets there to protect players?"

"Do not."

Chen Yi was clearly thinking more deeply than the other players. He frowned as he watched the male player cradling the pet in his arms like a precious treasure.

"Don't forget, the game said that players have three chances to escape after being captured."

"?"

Yu Shijiu thought about it seriously, "So this time it wasn't actually the pet that saved him, but the rules? But I seem to remember the rules saying that staff members would freeze in place?"

"...So it's only a possibility."

Chen Yi nodded, "But that's not necessarily true."

Chen Yi's eyes flickered: "The true meaning of 'pet' still doesn't have a clear explanation, does it?"

If the male player's "rescue" was indeed due to his pet... then it means he didn't actually trigger a death.

"That's not good."

Yu Shijiu clearly realized something as well, "If he didn't actually trigger the death, then the pet suddenly acting like this... does it mean..."

Yu Shijiu didn't finish her last words.

Chen Yi's expression turned somewhat grim. "What exactly is a pet—"

Drop drop drop-

An overload warning suddenly sounded inside the elevator.

Many players who had finally managed to squeeze into the elevator went into a frenzy, exclaiming, "How is this possible?! There are only a few of us! And we're already overweight with just a few people?!"

The chubby creature next to the elevator stretched lazily, turned its head to look at Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi on the other side, and meowed.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

“Oh, Brother Chen,” Yu Shijiu turned to look at Chen Yi, “Feifei asked us if we should throw the other people out of the elevator?”

Chen Yi: "..."

"...No, thank you."

Chen Yi rubbed his forehead, glanced back at the endless stream of monsters behind him, and sighed.

"Wait a minute, I'll use a prop to temporarily make our forms and auras disappear."

Once their physical presence and aura disappear, the staff can no longer find them.

Yu Shijiu nodded with some regret, "Alright, then I'll have Feifei come back."

"Fatty".

Yu Shijiu waved to Feifei, "Come back, let's sit down."

Fatty yawned and lazily walked towards Yu Shijiu and the other person.

As for the elevators that are still overloaded—

Chen Yi kindly reminded them, "I advise you to send a few people down quickly. If you stay stuck here, everyone will die."

"..."

After a brief silence, sounds of shoving and insults erupted inside the elevator.

"Get down now! You were the last one to come up! Get down now! Hurry!"

"There are others too, including you. You came up last, so get down now! Don't waste time!!"

"..."

After the three players holding pets were pushed down, the elevator finally beeped and the doors began to descend.

At the elevator entrance, three players, each clutching their pet, stood frozen in place, exchanging glances and tightening their grip on their pets.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid," a female player with a terrified expression gently stroked the kitten in her arms. "I have you, I have you, I won't die, I won't die..."

"..."

As for the staff members with missing arms and legs who were still walking this way at the end of the corridor—

Yu Shijiu roughly estimated the time it would take them to arrive.

"Two minutes is about right."

It's likely because it was the first night that the staff weren't moving very fast.

Yu Shijiu wiped the blood off his axe with a handkerchief. "Two minutes should be enough, right, Brother Chen?"
