Infinite: Dawn Game

Yu Shijiu fell silent.

He silently put the cinnabar bracelet back into the box, completely ignoring Xiao Li's excited shouts that suddenly popped into his head.

[Oh my god! This is a high-level item worth nearly 100,000 points! You're so lucky—no, why did you put it back?! Don't be stupid! Seriously, don't be stupid!]

Yu Shijiu's lips curled up slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "Let's give it back to him, it's too expensive."

The item cost nearly 100,000 points... Yu Shijiu silently calculated the points he had just earned and felt incredibly poor.

He was really too poor.

Ange raised an eyebrow, but did not reach out to take the box.

"Why not?"

She laughed and said, "If Lu Chusheng dares to give it to us, why shouldn't we dare to accept it?"

"Take it."

Ange pushed the box that was handed to her back a little. "This prop is perfect for you."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He looked down at the cinnabar bracelet that had been pushed back, opened his mouth as if to say something, but Anjie stopped him.

"Shi Jiu".

Anjie looked at the boy's delicate and thin face and said, "You still need to be a little thick-skinned."

She made a light-hearted joke, "Like me before, if I weren't shameless, how could a player as skilled as you have agreed to join our little team?"

Yu Shijiu seemed amused, "Sister An."

He exclaimed, "I wanted to join myself!"

Anjie smiled and patted his shoulder, "So, this is something Lu Chusheng insisted on giving to you. Just take it."

Yu Shijiu frowned.

He felt there was something odd about that statement.

But Anjie had already started to tell them to leave, "Alright, alright, I need to tidy up the house too. Shi Jiu, you can go out now. Dinner will probably be served soon."

"Then I can drink a couple more bowls of porridge to warm my stomach."

"..."

Yu Shijiu stood there blankly, opening his mouth as if he had been tricked.

It wasn't until he stepped out of Anjie's room that he finally said what he had been thinking.

"...Sister An, your room is so clean and tidy, do you still need to tidy it up..."

Anjie can't hear him now, so she can't respond to him.

【Hello! 】

The little Li deep in its mind was completely ignored, and it shouted angrily again: "Why are you ignoring me! You can clearly hear me!"

Yu Shijiu raised a hand to press her temples, and said succinctly: 【You're so noisy, really.】

Xiao Li: [...]

Xiao Li was so angry she exploded: "[I'm arguing? What am I arguing about! I was just trying to show you the value of this bracelet! It's really, really useful! You'll know how useful it is once you wear it...]"

Xiao Li chattered on and on for a long time, only to realize later that Yu Shijiu was ignoring it completely, which made it even angrier.

【Yu Shijiu!】

Xiao Li, enraged and embarrassed, shouted: "Were you even listening to me?!"

It was really angry!

I listened.

Yu Shijiu said, "I'm wondering why you're the only one in the exclusive system who's so noisy and easily angered."

He asked He Lingling and Xu Han... and they all said that their personal systems didn't have any very human-like features.

But Xiao Li is different.

Sometimes, Yu Shijiu even felt that it was somewhat like a "human" that had actually existed.

Xiao Li stopped talking.

Yu Shijiu waited patiently for a while, but could not detect any trace of the other party in his mind.

...Is this what they mean by "protesting too much"?

Yu Shijiu looked down at the cinnabar bracelet in the box in his hand, thought for a moment, and then stuffed the box and bracelet into his pocket.

Chen Yi's cheerful shouts could be heard from inside the kitchen.

"It's time to eat! Sister An, Shi Jiu Xiaohan! We can come out and eat now!"

Yu Shijiu, who had just put the bracelet away, looked up and replied with a smile:

"it is good!"

------------

Inspection team.

"Meow!"

Feifei rubbed against Lu Chusheng's legs, rubbing and rubbing, until he couldn't help but bend down and pat its head before stopping.

"Laibao looks to be in good condition."

When Lin Fenggang returned from his patrol, his eyes lit up when he saw Feifei, but because of his personality, he stood to the side without moving, only looking on with envy.

"Hmm," Lu Chusheng stroked the chubby head, "He'll be well taken care of in the future."

That "him"... naturally refers to Yu Shijiu.

Lin Feng paused for a second upon hearing this, then asked, "Brother Lu, I want to ask, are you going to go into the next dungeon with Yu Shijiu again?"

Lu Chusheng paused, his hand still stroking the chubby head. "What's wrong?"

"...Actually, it's nothing," Lin Feng carefully chose her words, "It's just that the guild competition is coming up soon, and I'm a little worried that it might not be appropriate for you to go into the dungeon with other players, Brother Lu..."

Lin Feng was indeed somewhat worried, but it was alright.

Her main concern now is that the monitoring team won first place in the last guild competition... but in this guild competition, the Black Robe Church and the players from the other guilds will definitely not do nothing.

Everyone wants to win first place in this guild competition... especially since it's the first time the guild competition has been "reformed".

Anyone with a brain can guess how generous the rewards will be for the top three in this guild competition.

The previous rewards alone were enough to make countless people flock to them...

Yu Shijiu's innate skill is considered an extremely terrifying ability by many players. Naturally, those who want to obtain such an ability will pay more attention to the people around Yu Shijiu.

Lu Chusheng is one, the nun is one, Ange is one...

The difference is that Ange is not a threat to most players now, but Lu Chusheng and the nun are different. They represent the two major guilds that are rivals in the town... which will inevitably make many players hate Yu Shijiu.

Don't think it's impossible. Humans are inherently flawed creatures. They can experience jealousy, hatred, envy, and all sorts of emotions mixed together, which can eventually turn into extreme malice.

Just like those players in "Fuling Hotel" who were "incited" to throw medicine on Yu Shijiu...

Lin Feng couldn't continue speaking at this point.

She wasn't stupid; from the various signs over the past few days, she could tell that Lu Chusheng's attitude towards Yu Shijiu was "good" to a degree that she couldn't understand.

It's strange, even though Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu don't seem to have spent much time together...

"I know."

Unexpectedly, Lu Chusheng nodded.

Lin Feng was taken aback, "Brother Lu?"

The fat cat under Lu Chusheng's hand rubbed against his palm and licked it with its tongue.

"Meow~"

Fatty squinted and leaned against Lu Chusheng, occasionally lifting its paws to lick itself, and then yawned several times.

He looked extremely sleepy.

Lin Feng's gaze involuntarily fell on it, and she felt a little itchy to touch it.

"I will not enter the same instance as Yu Shijiu before the guild competition."

Lu Chusheng's voice rang out.
