Infinite: Dawn Game

He Lingling's voice was very loud.

In an instant, many players around turned their heads to look in this direction, and when they saw Yu Shijiu and He Lingling, the pupils of many players who were watching the live stream suddenly contracted.

He Lingling, who was ranked 342nd on the leaderboard (now actually 341st), is actually very familiar with Yu Shijiu?!

They thought it was just a coincidence that they met in a game instance.

Yu Shijiu paused in his petting of the orange cat. He was clearly startled by what He Lingling had just said, and didn't even notice that he had accidentally pulled a tuft of fur off the big orange cat.

The orange cat meowed and gently scratched Yu Shijiu's hand with its paw.

Yu Shijiu didn't notice its movements. "You mean, it's Lu Chusheng's cat?"

He Lingling nodded: "Yes, Lu Chusheng raised an orange cat that's fiercer than a tiger. Almost everyone in the game knows that, right? Oh, by the way..."

"I forgot you've only been here a short time, it's normal that you don't know."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He nodded silently. The big orange cat, which had been wriggling on his lap, looked up at him. When their eyes met, the big orange cat was clearly happier, slowly and gently kneading itself and occasionally meowing.

He Lingling was amazed by what she saw, feeling that the cat in front of her was completely different from the one she had seen on live streams before.

“Impossible,” Yu Shijiu grabbed the big orange cat’s paw and squeezed it. The soft, elastic paw pads gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.

Yu Shijiu was even more certain: "It's so well-behaved, it definitely isn't Lu Chusheng's cat."

As she spoke, Yu Shijiu possessively wrapped her arms around the large orange cat that was snuggling against her lap, and said seriously:

"It's mine."

He Lingling: "...I have to remind you, Lu Chusheng treasures this cat very much."

Her intention was to offer a reminder, but she saw Yu Shijiu hug the big orange cat even tighter upon hearing this and fall silent.

Fine……

He Lingling didn't think much of it. She took the opportunity, feeling a little itchy, to reach out and stroke the smooth fur of the big orange cat. The cat turned around warily and meowed.

"..." He Lingling: "Why can't I touch it—"

Before she could finish speaking, a sudden uproar erupted from the entrance of the pupae shop not far away.

At the same time, Yu Shijiu noticed the man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall almost immediately when he appeared.

The man was still wearing that black suit that resembled a uniform. He had long legs, a slim waist, and a cold face. Every time he glanced at someone, he seemed to exude a chilling indifference that pierced people's hearts.

Lu Chusheng has arrived.

Yu Shijiu hugged the big orange cat tightly in his arms, and for the first time, he had the thought of "running away".

It was at this moment that Xiao Li, half-dead, logged on and reluctantly spoke:

[The bet is settled. I'm sending you 8,000 points now.]

Yu Shijiu's initial thought of having the orange cat taken away was briefly suppressed for a few seconds. Just as she was about to ask Xiao Li if there was any way to put something on "Feifei" that could only be hers, Lu Chusheng, who had caused a commotion not far away, walked over with a very clear purpose.

At the same time, Yu Shijiu, for some unknown reason, suddenly shrank back into the "cocoon" in He Lingling's shocked gaze. The transparent glass inside, which could not be seen, rose up, completely blocking Yu Shijiu and the big orange cat.

He Lingling, who was watching this scene from the sidelines: "..."

She stared at the tightly sealed "pupa" in front of her, speechless, unsure whether to praise it or mock Yu Shijiu's sudden outburst.

Before He Lingling could leave, Lu Chusheng, who was not far away, walked over.

"Yu, where is Shi Jiu?"

Lu Chusheng said.

When asked, He Lingling said, "...Him? He was just here a moment ago. I'm not really, not really sure..."

Despite this, He Lingling's gaze kept drifting uncontrollably toward the tightly closed "pupa" beside her.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He stepped forward and tapped on the glass that prevented him from seeing inside the "pupa".

"Yu Shijiu? Are you there?"

He Lingling, who was standing next to her, looked up at the sky and answered "I don't know" whenever asked.

Despite Lu Chusheng knocking several times, there was no response from inside the "pupa".

If He Lingling's hints hadn't been so obvious, Lu Chusheng would have doubted whether there was anyone inside the "pupa" in front of him.

Lu Chusheng was quite patient; he kept knocking on the door until Yu Shijiu opened it.

dong dong dong-

The constant knocking sound made the players who were already resting around even more curious, wondering why Lu Chusheng would come here.

Fang Zhi returned from the supermarket carrying bread and saw this scene. He was surprised to find a large crowd gathered around Yu Shijiu's location. He quickly walked forward, apologizing as he pushed his way through the crowd.

Because he was missing an arm, Fang Zhi's walk was not very steady. By the time he squeezed to the front, he was covered in sweat and even dropped the bread he was carrying on the ground.

From a distance, there were quite a few players dressed in black. Fang Zhi, whose eyesight wasn't very good to begin with, initially thought they were people from the Black Robe Church. But as he got closer, he realized they were Lu Chusheng and other players from the surveillance team.

Fang Zhi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed slightly. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his good hand and stepped forward to block Lu Chusheng's view of the "pupa".

"Captain Lu? It's Captain Lu!"

A smile crept across Fang Zhi's ordinary, honest face:

"Captain Lu, is there something you need to see Xiao Jiu? He... he just went out on business. Why don't you come back later?"

He Lingling, who was looking up at the sky, glanced at Fang Zhi in surprise. Her gaze lingered on the empty sleeve of his left hand for a few seconds, and she roughly understood that this one-armed man in front of her should have a good relationship with Yu Shijiu.

Actually, it shouldn't be said that they have a good relationship; it should be said that they have an extremely good relationship.

In the game Dawn, there are many players who know how to protect themselves. The current situation clearly shows that Lu Chusheng wants to talk to Yu Shijiu, but Yu Shijiu is unwilling to come out (because he "stole" Lu Chusheng's cat). Any slightly smart player would not dare to step forward.

But this seemingly ordinary one-armed man spoke up.

His courage is commendable, but he was a bit reckless.

That means it was Lu Chusheng who came. If it were any other guild leader... the one-armed man's fate would be hard to predict.

He Lingling made her assessment in her mind.

Lu Chusheng stared at Fang Zhi, who was hunched over and blocking the "cocoon," his expression cold and calm. He glanced at the glass door behind Fang Zhi, which had been peeking through a crack at some point, and then quietly looked away.

"is it?"

Lu Chusheng pretended not to see it and said calmly, "But I have something very important to discuss with him, and I need to talk to him in person."

"This..." Fang Zhi hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying:

"How about this, I'll wait until Xiao Jiu comes back, and then he and I—"

Before the last word "say" could be finished, a dense sound of footsteps came again from the direction of the cocoon shop's entrance.

"Yo?"

"It's so lively!"
