Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 238 Mistress

Thinking of the scene when Yu Shijiu killed the monster, He Lingling secretly groaned.

It's not that killing is forbidden, but killing an NPC right at the start of the game... isn't that a bit too outrageous? Actually, not every game instance can be cleared by brute force... The plot is still chaotic right now. If Yu Shijiu really loses control and kills "Young Master," she estimates that the difficulty of the game instance will increase several levels.

Fortunately, Yu Shijiu didn't seem to have any intention of killing the NPCs.

After he finished speaking, he was about to sit down, but was forced to do so again by the "young master" who refused to give up.

“I told you,” the “young master” grinned maliciously, “you have to drink this glass of wine, even if you’re allergic to it!”

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He rubbed his fingertips, feeling a little itchy, and thought irritably, "Maybe I should just kill this guy. This is the first time I've ever encountered such an annoying NPC."

"is it?"

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to lose control of his killing intent, Lu Chusheng, whom he had just suppressed, slowly raised his head, and a cold look slowly appeared on his indifferent and handsome face.

"Allergies can be fatal."

Lu Chusheng emphasized the word "dead man," stood up, and looked at the "young master" opposite him who still seemed completely unconcerned.

"If you want someone to drink with you, then I'm happy to oblige."

Lu Chusheng said.

The players nearby, barely daring to breathe: "..."

They could only lower their heads and remain silent, fearing that they might be implicated later.

The current situation seems a bit strange... They should have entered a horror game, so why does it feel so odd?

Like the players sitting at the dining table, many players in the town watching the live stream on their screens were also completely bewildered.

They had a fairly good understanding of Lu Chusheng's personality and knew that he genuinely respected everyone's life, but this was the first time they had ever confronted a player and an NPC head-on for the sake of a player... Although it sounded strange, it really did feel like something like a CEO saving the day.

Besides her unexpectedly strong attack power as a novice player, what other charm does Yu Shijiu possess?

The players were completely baffled.

It can't be because the other person is good-looking, right?

--------

The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely tense.

The aggressive "young master" opposite: "...Ha."

He first looked at Lu Chusheng incredulously and laughed a few times, then lingered on Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu with an extremely strange look for a while, and finally actually agreed.

"Okay."

The "young master" swirled his full wine glass and sneered:

"But if it were you, it wouldn't be just a matter of a glass of wine."

Lu Chusheng remained calm: "How much do you want to drink?"

"My father's wine collection consists of only the finest wines."

"Young Master" pointed to the nearly ten bottles of red wine on the table and said with ill intent:

"So in order to avoid waste, I will forgive this guest who has disrespected me if you can finish all the wine on the table."

The other players were dumbfounded.

Xu Han swallowed hard and shuffled closer to He Lingling:

"...My God, Captain Lu is really, really a true friend..."

"..." He Lingling looked at Lu Chusheng's face, which remained unchanged, with a complicated expression.

So curious.

But she simply couldn't see Lu Chusheng's past or future.

Even if Lu Chusheng was a heavy drinker, he couldn't possibly finish such a large amount of red wine by himself. Leaving aside the alcohol content, just swallowing that much liquid would be a difficult task.

"What did you say?!"

Yu Shijiu, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up. He looked at the dozens of bottles of red wine on the table and chuckled several times.

"Bring me your wine."

"Young Master" sneered at him, then presented his wine glass to Yu Shijiu, saying smugly:

"You still have to drink it—"

The moment Yu Shijiu took the wine glass, he poured the entire glass of wine onto the "young master's" face, grinning as he said:

"Drink your*."

The "young master" whose face was splashed with water: "..."

He kept his eyes tightly closed, his face and collar covered in the wine that Yu Shijiu had splashed on him. The strong smell of wine filled his nostrils, making him roar even more furiously.

"You lowly thing—"

"That's enough, brother."

Just as the "young master" wiped his face and was about to walk towards Yu Shijiu, his arm was pulled by the "young lady" who had been silent all along.

"Brother, they are guests. You understand what 'guests' means?"

"Miss" raised her pale face, her bloodless lips moving. Just a second before "Young Master" was about to erupt in anger, she spoke again, one step ahead of him.

“Your father wouldn’t want to see a conflict between you and the guest.”

The young master paused in place, and after a few seconds, he looked down at his sister with a cold expression and chuckled.

"is it?"

"Young Master" leaned close to his sister's ear and seemed to whisper something.

The moment the "Miss" changed her expression, the surrounding players seemed to sense the strange atmosphere between the two NPCs, and their hearts pounded simultaneously.

This is--

"What's going on here?"

A gentle female voice rang out from behind all the players, accompanied by soft footsteps, and a young woman dressed in light blue loungewear slowly walked down from the second floor.

The players felt a chill and turned their heads simultaneously.

This is the fifth NPC to appear today.

too weird.

Why don't the NPCs appear at the same time? Generally speaking, most NPCs involved in the storyline should appear simultaneously, each with their own specific role.

"Did Niao Niao and her brother have another fight?"

The young woman was slender with delicate and refined features. Her light blue sleeveless home dress revealed her thin, fair arms, which shone with a luminous glow under the living room lights.

"Don't fight," the young woman said gently as she approached the two, "Young Master" and "Miss," who were locked in a stalemate, under the watchful eyes of all the players.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the guests if the hosts started arguing?"

The young woman's two short sentences caused both the "young master" and the "young lady" to release their grip simultaneously. The former walked towards the stairs with a gloomy expression, and went straight back to the second floor without looking back.

As the sound of "Young Master's" footsteps fading up the stairs gradually disappeared, the young woman who came down later went to the dining table and took the seat of honor.

"Excuse me."

The young woman took the tea handed to her by the elderly housekeeper and raised her teacup towards the bewildered players at the table.

"I don't drink alcohol, so please accept this cup of tea on behalf of my child to apologize to all the guests."

This statement left many players around them completely dumbfounded.
