Infinite: Dawn Game

Upon hearing about the river, Feifei immediately stopped barking, stood up abruptly, grabbed the dirt under its feet, and ran to Yu Shijiu's side, nuzzling his waist with its head.

"Meow, meow meow..."

Yu Shijiu laughed heartily, pointed to the corner of the field where there were faint signs of a river not far away, and said with a smile:

"Come on, let's go take a shower together!"

He hadn't washed his face or brushed his teeth yet. Although he couldn't brush his teeth in the river, he could still wash his face... Speaking of which, why didn't he see any wells in Changsheng Village? Were they concentrated in one place?

Yu Shijiu didn't think much of it. He led Feifei forward, each step light and quick.

This scene actually looked very strange to the players watching from outside the screen.

If it were really a tourist trip, it would be understandable, but Changsheng Village is a game where you could lose your life at any time, so Yu Shijiu's "energetic" appearance looks very strange.

...However, the rural atmosphere in Changsheng Village is indeed quite nice, so nice that almost all the walkable paths are dirt roads.

inside the room.

He Lingling chuckled, casually pulled out a chair and sat down, reaching out to pry open the insulated boxes that weren't completely unpacked.

"Sister An, I know you're amazing, but isn't a 90% certainty a bit too outrageous?"

What kind of person is Yu Shijiu? He Lingling learned quite a bit about him after just one dungeon run.

"Although Yu Shijiu seems a bit crazy and does things without any rhyme or reason, he seems easy to talk to, and it seems like he didn't have a good life in the past, but..."

Click.

He Lingling pried open the connected parts of the disposable chopsticks, her voice very low:

"I thought you had already noticed that he doesn't like to interact with too many people."

If An Jie has figured it out and still claims she's confident she can get Yu Shijiu to join her team, He Lingling can only think that An Jie has lost her mind lately.

"I know,"

Anjie pulled up a chair and sat down. She slowly broke apart the chopsticks, her eyelashes drooping to conceal the depths of her eyes.

"Lingling, I don't know how to explain this to you. Before you entered the Dawn Game, I completed a game instance that was similar to predicting the future. The instance boss, a monster, was covered in eyes. It could see through everyone's weaknesses and the most painful things that had happened to them in the past."

Anjie paused for a few seconds after saying this.

He Lingling keenly noticed that her breathing stopped for a moment, and then slowly returned to normal.

"That monster didn't just use physical attacks; it attacked the mind more, so the game was almost unsolvable. By the time I was almost finished, everyone around me was dead..."

This includes some players who have a good relationship with Anjie.

It was from that time that Anjie realized just how terrifying the Dawn Game really was.

With a million points, they can only earn three to five thousand points by completing the game once. If they perform exceptionally well, they might earn over ten thousand. However, once they leave the game, they have to survive in the town, eat, live, and even pay for breathing.

How many points can you accumulate by accumulating them bit by bit like this? Not to mention that game instances are not safe, and not everyone is willing to gamble on surviving and accumulating enough points.

The horror of Dawn Game is that it gives them a way to survive, but this path of rebirth is full of death and pain. They are like tiny insects, barely clinging to life.

"I was the only one who survived."

Anjie's voice was low. She lowered her head, and her exposed back and neck were covered with dense white lines, some of which looked like growth lines that had shrunk after swelling, and others like white scars.

He Lingling didn't speak, but her grip on the chopsticks tightened.

"As the only player to complete the game, I received an item, an item that can be used three times and is related to predicting the future."

Props?

He Lingling looked up in surprise.

Ange said in a low voice, "The prop is called the Oracle of Delphi."

Prophecy in Greek mythology, concerning the prediction of the future.

"I saw a glimpse of the future after successfully completing the game. Although it was shrouded in a hazy mist, it looked really beautiful and blissful."

Anjie's tone suddenly softened. She slowly looked up at the silent He Lingling opposite her and chuckled.

"I used it twice, and the last time, I saw my future,"

"I will form a guild with you, a small guild with only five people."

There were actually some things that might happen in the future, but Ange ultimately held back her words.

He Lingling was somewhat stunned, and she asked hesitantly:

"You shouldn't have told me so directly that if I don't agree to join, what you're saying is just a bunch of meaningless lies."

Anjie put the chopsticks aside and crossed her hands:

“You are different. As someone who possesses a talent skill similar to the Delphi Oracle, you should understand the principle that it is best not to disobey in the future, especially when it is a future that is clearly destined for a good ending.”

He Lingling fell silent.

After a long pause, she clicked her tongue, and as she shrugged, her pigtails slipped down, and she sighed as if in despair.

"In that case, I don't think I have any reason to refuse."

Anjie stretched out her hand, and the yellow calluses on her palm were somewhat glaring under the light.

"Then, on behalf of Xu Han and Chen Yi, I welcome you to join us."

Anjie said.

He Lingling did not refuse. She reached out and grasped An Jie's hand, tightening it slightly with a teasing tone:

"So, Sister An, the Delphi Oracle told you that everyone in our team will leave Dawn Game alive, right?"

“…” Anjie gazed at her quietly, a slow smile spreading across her lips:

"Of course, whether it's you, Yu Shijiu, or Xu Han and Chen Yi, I guarantee that you will all leave Dawn Games alive."

He Lingling laughed, she held An Jie's hand and moved it up and down, winking playfully:

"That's good, then we'll all get out safely."

Anjie smiled, turning her head to look at Yu Shijiu on the screen, who was squatting by the river helping Feifei take a bath.

Yes, we all will.

As long as the future foretold by the Delphi Oracle is true, they will all get out safely.

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

The river in Changsheng Village looks very clean, free from the garbage and industrial waste left behind by cities in their pursuit of development. This small river, not very big, shimmers with a light turquoise color under the sunlight, and small fish dart among the rippling water.

Beautiful indeed.

This was probably the umpteenth time Yu Shijiu had sighed like this.

The cool river water poured over him again and again, finally cleaning the dirt and bits of flesh off Fatty. He was very happy, raising his front paws and placing them on Yu Shijiu's knees, his wet tail swaying slightly.

Yu Shijiu patted its head and whispered, "You're so heavy, Fatty."
