Infinite: Dawn Game

For a moment, the entire pupae shop was silent.

Many players looked at Zhou Yuanyang's strange face with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

These are several extremely tempting conditions, and some of which should not even be allowed at all. Most guilds in Dawn of the Games would never meet them.

Including Lu Chusheng's inspection team.

As everyone knows, the Inspection Team is the most conservative of all the guilds. They insist on eliminating most things related to the dark side of society and will only kill people as a last resort. However, they do have the necessary strength.

That's why the inspection team earns the respect of most players.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Shijiu actually thought about it seriously for a few seconds after hearing this, and then asked:

Do you have cats where you live?

"..." Zhou Yuanyang's smile faltered for a moment, then he said:

"Of course, we can get you any breed of cat you want."

Yu Shijiu's eyelashes drooped, her amber pupils revealing a mischievous seriousness:

"I want a really fat orange cat, 1.2 meters tall, that can still fight, like Fatty."

Yu Shijiu pointed at the big orange cat that was hugging her waist and wouldn't let go.

The latter was very clever and knew that Yu Shijiu was talking about him, so he clung to Yu Shijiu and licked him from time to time.

Lu Chusheng, who had noticed the orange cat acting strangely earlier, was speechless.

Was he dazzled?

The players who came with Lu Chusheng gasped inwardly. In a corner where Lu Chusheng couldn't see them, they exchanged glances, all seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Good heavens!!! How can Laibao be so friendly to humans?! Especially to one that looks like they've just met once!!! This is outrageous!!

Zhou Yuanyang wasn't stupid; he naturally knew he had been rejected. He looked at Yu Shijiu, who seemed completely captivated by the big orange cat, and after thinking for a moment, he chuckled.

"Not in a hurry,"

Zhou Yuanyang's words had a hidden meaning: "The Black Robe Church welcomes you at any time."

In Yu Shijiu's case, it's only something that can be controlled for now. If we send him into a dungeon with even more stimulating memories... then the outcome could be quite interesting.

Zhou Yuanyang seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Lu Chusheng, who had been silent since earlier, and lazily clapped his hands:

"Alright, alright, since this young man isn't interested in the Black Robe Church for the time being, let's wait a bit longer."

The black centipede antennae that were lying on Zhou Yuan's upturned face twitched, then slowly crawled into his slightly long hair, leaving only one tail sticking out from the corner of Zhou Yuan's eyebrow, like a black tattoo of a centipede.

Some players around who were afraid of insects unconsciously stepped back, fearing that the crawling centipede might suddenly jump onto them.

Yu Shijiu's gaze was also drawn to the black centipede. He squinted slightly as he watched the slender tentacles at the end of the centipede's segmented limbs gently swaying.

"Is that your pet?"

Yu Shijiu spoke up.

This blatant question interrupted Zhou Yuanyang's attempt to leave. He reached up and touched the centipede tail above his eyebrow, giving Yu Shijiu a suggestive wink:

"It's my innate skill."

"Do you like it?" Zhou Yuanyang asked very generously.

"If you agree to join the Black Robe Church, I'll give you the biggest and most poisonous centipede. How about it?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuanyang raised his hand, and a centipede larger than his forehead slowly crawled out from the huge sleeve of his black robe.

This centipede was almost identical in length to the one on Zhou Yuanyang's forehead. At each of its blackish-yellow segments, black, needle-like tentacles crawled upwards along Zhou Yuanyang's well-defined wrist.

The other players around them simultaneously took a large step back: "..."

Holy crap, with this kind of innate skill, isn't Zhou Yuanyang afraid every day?

Yu Shijiu looked very carefully, and then honestly said:

"Can I get one even if I don't join?"

Zhou Yuanyang's smile froze on his face: "..."

Lu Chusheng and Fang Zhi on the side: "..."

Lu Chusheng couldn't help but cough lightly, suppressing the urge to laugh.

A few seconds later, Zhou Yuanyang looked at Yu Shijiu with a particularly strange gaze, as if he was wondering how the other party could have said those words.

Yu Shijiu continued to look at him very intently, without blinking, and even asked another question:

"May I?"

Zhou Yuanyang: "...No."

Yu Shijiu immediately looked away, stroking the big orange cat's soft, smooth fur, without saying a word.

Having been thwarted twice, Zhou Yuanyang wasted no time. Before leaving, he took a serious look at Yu Shijiu, who was looking down at the orange cat, and slowly sighed.

The followers behind him couldn't help but turn around and glance at Yu Shijiu several times, seemingly shocked by Yu Shijiu's shamelessness.

How can you be so shameless as to want other people's things without joining their guild? And most importantly! You even said it so seriously...

This is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless person.

After the Black Robe Church members had all left, Lu Chusheng walked up to Yu Shijiu. Before he could speak, Yu Shijiu looked up warily.

"Let's get this straight first. No matter what you say, you just said that Fei Fei is mine, so you're not allowed to say anything like 'Actually, Fei Fei is yours.'"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Lu Chusheng stared intently at him with his dark eyes for a long time, then smiled:

"Don't worry, if it's yours, then it's yours."

Yu Shijiu was relieved. He smiled slightly, which made his face look much thinner due to long-term malnutrition.

Because Lu Chusheng had repeatedly confirmed it, he muttered something under his breath:

"It was originally mine."

As fine as a mosquito's buzz, yet brimming with ever-growing confidence and certainty.

Lu Chusheng glanced at the orange cat that was still clinging to Yu Shijiu, then walked up to the cocoon with his long legs and reached out to pick up the cake from the glass dome.

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Shijiu suddenly grabbed his arm holding the cake.

“This,” Yu Shijiu pursed her lips, somewhat hesitant:

"Wasn't it supposed to be for me?"

"..."

Looking at the other person's fluffy hair, Lu Chusheng resisted the urge to pat their head and simply hummed in agreement.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t give it to you,” she added, then continued, “Didn’t you already save up enough points? What, are you planning to stay at the cocoon shop indefinitely?”

Yu Shijiu was taken aback.

He belatedly realized that he had accumulated enough points to live in the town for at least a while.

Yu Shijiu was instantly delighted, and a smile began to appear on his face—the youthful smile of an eighteen-year-old boy who had received something he liked.

Lu Chusheng was momentarily dazed, feeling that the smile was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Let's go," Lu Chusheng said calmly as he regained his senses. He didn't mention Yu Shijiu joining the surveillance team, but instead offered a gentle reminder:

"I'll take you to a suitable place to settle down first."
