Infinite: Dawn Game

""echo"……"

Xu Han walked out wiping his hands, his face a little pale.

"Sister An, could it really be them? That pervert who likes to stuff random things into people's brains?"

"The probability is not low."

He Lingling walked to the table, sat down, rubbed her temples, and said calmly:

"Our method of winning this instance was to completely destroy the instance's core, which also involved high-intensity mental confrontation and contamination contact. Although only Shi Jiu came into contact with this... it is still very likely that the system will determine that all of us have a certain degree of mental contamination resistance, thus matching us with opponents who are good at mental attacks."

He Lingling finished speaking in one breath and turned to look at Yu Shijiu.

"Furthermore, Shiku's left arm... in a sense, is still a side effect of residual pollution. If Captain 'Echo's' ability is truly mental pollution, he might actually be able to sense and even stimulate the unstable factors within Shiku's arm."

"..."

He Lingling's analysis silenced all three people present.

The only one out of the loop, Yu Shijiu, raised his left arm, his furry beast claws opening and then slowly clenching.

He could feel the muscle fibers under the hair in his left arm trembling slightly with his movements, as if they were reacting instinctively and with aversion to the word "mental pollution".

"Let it be exciting."

Yu Shijiu lowered his head and chuckled, "Maybe if I get really excited, this arm might give me a pleasant surprise?"

Anjie gave him a disapproving look, but didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Chen Yi and Xu Han.

"For the remaining three days, everyone's training focus will be adjusted. Chen Yi, you will be responsible for simulating the 'Iron Fortress' defensive tactics, and working with Xiao Han to practice how to find counter-attack opportunities while maintaining a solid defense."

“Xiao Han, your healing and support skills must also be improved, especially for Shi Jiu’s arm condition. I need you to pay close attention to Shi Jiu at all times and be able to sense any fluctuations in his left arm immediately.”

"understand!"

"it is good!"

Chen Yi and Xu Han nodded instantly.

“And Lingling.”

Anjie looked at He Lingling, her voice much softer.

“You should continue to rest for the next three days, but if you have the energy, I hope you can analyze the intelligence sources and attack habits of ‘Shadow Shuttle’. If they really match up with us, they might prioritize targeting the seemingly ‘weakest’ link among us—currently, it might be you who hasn’t fully recovered, or…”

Her gaze fell on Yu Shijiu's striking left arm.

"Or am I the obvious 'target'?"

Yu Shijiu chimed in at the right moment, his tone revealing no worry, but rather a hint of eagerness.

"As long as you know."

Anjie withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Shi Jiu, your training is the simplest and the most difficult—to adapt to your arm and explore its capabilities, but most importantly, to learn 'control'—not control in calm situations, but control in battle, when emotions are running high, and when you might be mentally stimulated. I will be your sparring partner for the next three days."

"Really?"

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He had long been incredibly curious about An Jie's strength, but An Jie never made a move.

"real."

Anjie flexed her wrists, and her eyes, hidden beneath her blue hair, looked no different from usual.

"Over the next three days, I will simulate high-intensity pressure and attacks. You must practice with me without being able to use your right hand, and try to use the power of your left arm to attack precisely at crucial moments."

"That sounds a bit difficult."

Yu Shijiu said this, but the corners of his mouth turned up even higher.

"Meow!"

Fatty seemed to sense its owner's heightened emotions. It jumped down from the windowsill, rubbed against Yu Shijiu's leg, and its green eyes warily scanned Anjie, meowing incessantly.

—"Don't hit me too hard, meow! This cat won't allow it, meow meow meow!!!"

"..."

The plan was quickly finalized as the five of them discussed it amongst themselves, and the atmosphere in the rest area shifted from a relaxed state to a serious one.

Chen Yi once again searched through the materials for the analysis of defensive talents and skills, and designed a training plan based on his own "meat wall" characteristics.

Xu Han, with a bitter face, began to study how to transform his talent skills into a more refined state—a challenge for a player like him who was used to directly and roughly "healing" others.

He Lingling went back to her bedroom to continue resting.

While continuing to absorb "Thumbelina's Tears - Purifying Dew", she pulled up combat clips of "Shadow Stalker" members from past guild tournament recordings, trying to find some patterns in their ghostly movements and attack rhythms.

Although the players in the "Shadow Shuttle" guild are not particularly aggressive overall, they are indeed very fast. Therefore, they like to "run away" or "play it safe" whether in guild competitions or daily dungeons.

The guild's unique characteristic is its strategy of "delaying" combined with its speed.

Anjie led Yu Shijiu to the small training room attached to the rest area.
