Infinite: Dawn Game

Chrysalis shop.

Across from the pupa shop, there was a wall covered with countless screens. Compared to the fully modern digital screens in the town, they were enormous, the kind of small TV screens popular in the 1980s. They were used to broadcast various live streams, and the most popular live streams would be used as the anchor positions on the central screen, which was no different from the ones in the town.

At this moment, many players, holed up in their cocoon shops, stared at the black screen that indicated they had passed the game, barely daring to breathe.

"No wonder……"

Players who witnessed Yu Shijiu piercing people's hands a few days ago were already regretting why they hadn't stepped forward to "help" back then.

Even if he can't be of much help, he can at least make himself known. Who knows if Yu Shijiu might take a liking to him?

There were many such thoughts, but Fang Zhi looked at the big screen that had gone dark and then lit up again with a new anchor, his eyes filled with worry.

There are no substantial rules binding the game Dawn.

Under the deliberate guidance of certain high-level players, prioritizing strength has become a tradition in towns and even pupae shops.

Therefore, most players here, besides just loafing around and waiting to die, are extremely enthusiastic about certain new players who seem to be gaining popularity.

In the pupae shop, people would humbly and cautiously play the lowly, but in the town, such new players were seen as the latest darlings for gambling. If they won just once, they wouldn't have to worry about survival for at least several months.

But the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind, let alone a child like Yu Shijiu who is completely beyond the level of ordinary players. Can he really grow up well?

Fang Zhi didn't know.

He simply stared at the large screen, now displaying the new player character, and sighed inwardly.

--------

When Yu Shijiu woke up, everything was pitch black, and she felt a little suffocated by something pressing down on her.

My face was still warm and covered in a fuzzy layer, and with each breath, it felt like fluffy particles were sticking to my respiratory tract. Every now and then, some kind of barbed tongue would lick me.

and many more? !

Isn't it one per person at the pupae shop?

Yu Shijiu suddenly woke up. When he reached out and pushed away the unidentified object that was pressing down on his face and body, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, a chubby, muscular thing rolled from the front half of the cocoon to the lower half with a thud, letting out a loud, condemning "meow".

Meow?

Yu Shijiu looked down and saw a huge, yellow-orange cat that was incredibly long turn its head to look at him. Its bright green eyes were fixed on him, and it scratched the inner wall of the cocoon with great dissatisfaction.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He admitted that he was genuinely stunned for a minute this time.

He had clearly closed the pupa's door tightly before entering the instance—

Perhaps because the space was too small, the big orange cat, which had been pushed to the back, meowed and climbed forward, pressing the door open button next to it in Yu Shijiu's shocked gaze.

The next second, the shell on the pupa slowly opened, and the isolated boiling and noisy sounds instantly came into view.

Yu Shijiu, frowning from the noise, was speechless.

He grabbed the large orange cat that was trying to climb onto his chest, and, under the cat's innocent yet seemingly disdainful green eyes, he grabbed its neck.

He reached out and scratched the other person's chin.

The fluffy touch instantly washed away much of the negative emotions from the game, and Yu Shijiu seemed to forget the blood Xuexue had splattered on him, and started petting the big orange cat.

"Meow-"

The big orange cat narrowed its eyes into slits, purring softly as it silently let Yu Shijiu scratch its chin.

As Yu Shijiu scratched, he felt a pain in his chest. Looking at the large orange cat that was almost as tall as him lying on top of him, he had reason to suspect that the cat was pressing down on him.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu's eyes changed, and the force that was originally gently scratching the big orange cat's chin suddenly increased, and she pinched the other's neck.

"So fatty, all meat—"

Yu Shijiu's voice stopped abruptly. He paused in his petting of the cat, and as the orange cat opened its eyes in displeasure, he looked at the orange cat's face and body several times from left to right.

The final image focuses on the orange cat's face, which is almost indistinguishable from a sleeping cat's, and the red ribbon tied to its right front paw.

The ribbon was old, with frayed and wrinkled edges, but it was clean, showing that someone often took the red ribbon off to wash it.

It's the kind of very cheap red ribbon.

But this ribbon was tied by Yu Shijiu to the cat named Feifei in his dream, just to assert his ownership. Feifei was initially unwilling, but after enduring Yu Shijiu's repeated insistence, it finally agreed.

Is there really such a coincidence?

Yu Shijiu lowered his eyes and looked at the big orange cat that had started meowing continuously because of his inability to pet it. A bizarre guess slowly formed in his mind.

Is it possible that Fatty also died in reality, and then the cat's death could be absorbed into the Dawn Game...?

This guess was so absurd that Yu Shijiu dared not confirm it at all, but as he looked at the big orange cat that started kneading, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was exactly the same as the fat cat in his dream.

Besides being fatter, bigger, and, well, longer.

Yu Shijiu gestured with a serious expression to show the length of the big orange cat, and finally stared wide-eyed with an incredulous look.

One, 1.2 meters?!

Are there really cats that long?! Isn't that outrageous?! And...

Yu Shijiu tried to lift up the big orange cat in front of him that was constantly acting spoiled and throwing tantrums, then fell silent.

It weighs around 70 or 80 pounds.

The case is solved. There is absolutely no way that such a huge fat cat, which looks so healthy and robust, could exist in reality.

Yu Shijiu felt that this might be a "gift" from the game, after all, the game made him kill his only "friend Xuexue" with his own hands.

Yes, he was very satisfied with the compensation.

Oh right, there's also the 8,000 points that Xiao Li owes him. Yu Shijiu plans to "chat" about it with Xiao Li after he's finished playing with his hands.

He promised to give it to me once I cleared the level, and he doesn't accept "buying on credit"... well, not even an orange cat.

Yu Shijiu completely ignored the possibility that he had gone to the wrong place or looked for the wrong spot when he picked up the big orange cat, and hugged the big orange cat with a bright smile and petted it to his heart's content.

Until a familiar female voice rang out beside him.

"What the hell! Where did you get this piglet?!"

It's He Lingling.

Having fully regained her mobility, He Lingling tied her hair into two low ponytails again. The smooth double ponytails bounced along her shoulders, showing the same agility as their owner.

Yu Shijiu: "...It was a gift from the game."

game?

He Lingling raised an eyebrow in surprise, walked to the front of the pupa, looked down, and casually said:

"How could a game be so kind as to give away a cat to play with?!"

Before she could finish saying the last word "home," He Lingling's eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at the big orange cat that was snuggling in Yu Shijiu's arms and then looking up at her, before letting out a loud scream:

"What the hell?! I was wondering why the game would give you a cat! Isn't this Lu Chusheng's cat?! You tricked him into giving you his cat?!"
