Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 229 Room Selection

Like all the shocked players, Mr. Xiao, who had been given the "friend zone" card, also showed a slightly surprised expression, which quickly disappeared.

He chuckled and called out loudly to the old woman who walked in through the door:

"Butler Liu, please have the kitchen prepare a special dinner for this young man. He's quite an interesting kid."

For someone of Mr. Xiao's age, Yu Shijiu is just a kid.

The old woman, who was also the housekeeper Liu, glanced at Yu Shijiu, then bowed her head and replied:

"I understand, Mr. Xiao."

Being noticed by NPCs in game instances is a good thing, as it can trigger more main story events. However, danger also begins to appear as the main story events are triggered.

Yu Shijiu's move wasn't very clever.

Lu Chusheng didn't show any expression. He looked at Yu Shijiu's smiling face because of Mr. Xiao's words and was even more impressed by the other person's "love of food".

It's a pity my cooking skills are too mediocre, otherwise I could have used food to "lure" this little madman.

The thought that he might be the first player in the Dawn game to be called Yu Shijiu "Little Madman" made Lu Chusheng's heart skip a beat for a second for some reason.

He was strangely pleased.

Yu Shijiu and Mr. Xiao were having a good chat, but Xu Han, hidden among the players, was somewhat worried. He approached He Lingling and whispered:

"Won't Shi Jiu be able to stay up like this at night..."

His last words were almost non-existent, but He Lingling knew exactly what he wanted to say.

"Probably not," He Lingling said, though she was also a little hesitant, but based on her experience:

"There won't be a dead end on the first day, so don't worry about that."

Moreover, Yu Shijiu is no ordinary player.

Xu Han had clearly thought of this as well. He scratched his head awkwardly and remained silent.

After exchanging a few brief words with Yu Shijiu, Mr. Xiao glanced down at his watch, a look of apology on his face.

"Sorry, Shi Jiu, I have a meeting to attend and need to go out. I probably won't be back until late at night to enjoy the food with you."

At this point, Mr. Xiao smiled and patted Yu Shijiu on the shoulder again. He seemed to really "like" this "little kid" who took the initiative to talk to him.

"Tomorrow, I'll definitely be back before dinner tomorrow."

Yu Shijiu still had that happy expression. He glanced at the old woman next to him with her head down, his eyes unchanged.

"Can I tell the housekeeper what I want to eat tomorrow?"

Mr. Xiao seemed amused by him and laughed heartily:

"Of course, just tell the housekeeper what you want to eat."

Seemingly worried that the other "guests" would feel embarrassed, Mr. Xiao nodded to the players gathered around him.

"If there's anything you'd like to eat, feel free to suggest it to the housekeeper."

One is "whatever," and the other is "suggestion." Mr. Xiao seems to really like to create the impression that he "values" Yu Shijiu.

In real life, this would be incredibly enviable... Unfortunately, this is a game, and a terrifying one at that, where people can die.

In an instant, the other players looked at Yu Shijiu with sympathy, who had been noticed by Mr. Xiao, and at the same time lit a candle for him in their hearts.

Hopefully, this player who has been "chosen" by the NPC will have good luck...

After saying these words, Mr. Xiao did not linger. He whispered several words to the old housekeeper next to him. Yu Shijiu did not back down and looked around with a curious expression.

Behind him, Mr. Xiao glanced at Yu Shijiu and lowered his voice even further.

"Choices for rooms, etc..."

The following words were inexplicably muffled by some sound.

Yu Shijiu knew that this was Dawn Game deliberately concealing the subsequent plot, but now that such a rewarding hint had appeared, wasn't it?

What problems might arise with choosing a room?

Yu Shijiu pretended not to hear or see, casually playing the role of a naive young college student in Mr. Xiao's eyes.

After Mr. Xiao finished speaking with the old lady housekeeper, he nodded slightly to the players around him and walked out of the living room.

After Mr. Xiao and the elderly housekeeper who went down to prepare dinner left, the once quiet living room suddenly became noisy.

Xu Han and He Lingling quickly stepped forward, the former putting her arm around Yu Shijiu's shoulder and slumping her head as she complained:

"Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu, you'd better use your brain!"

Xu Han was genuinely worried just now.

Even if we know that Yu Shijiu can fight against those NPCs, the game has just started, and who knows which NPCs will turn into monsters and kill people at night?

"What kind of heart do you have?"

Yu Shijiu, the protagonist, found the sentence a bit strange: "I already have one heart."

Yu Shijiu responded seriously.

Xu Han: "..."

Before He Lingling could say anything: "..."

Behind the two, Lu Chusheng was originally preparing to discuss with Yu Shijiu what kind of plot might develop during dinner.

A faint smile appeared on his indifferent face, but it vanished in an instant.

The irritability that replaced his feelings only made Lu Chusheng more distressed.

He would have found Yu Shijiu cute upon hearing that, but Xu Han's words were just a casual joke, yet Yu Shijiu responded so seriously...

Something is not right.

The strange behavior Yu Shijiu is exhibiting now is completely different from his state in the previous game instances.

Lu Chusheng frowned as he looked at Yu Shijiu, who was being blocked by Xu Han and He Lingling, and felt that the other party's current situation was—

Yu Shijiu seemed to realize that he was being looked at, and suddenly lifted his eyelids to glance at him.

Lu Chusheng was momentarily stung by the other person's gaze, and felt his heart tremble for a few seconds.

He instinctively touched his chest, feeling his heart beating too fast.

Yu Shijiu was looking at him... Was he inviting him to join their discussion? After all, they had entered the same instance through a team card...

Thinking of this, Lu Chusheng strode over.

Upon seeing Lu Chusheng move, the players who had been gathered in a group discussing something paused for a few seconds, and then someone quickly stepped over the crowd to approach Lu Chusheng.

He was a male gamer who looked somewhat familiar; he must have achieved a good ranking in the live stream. He quickly approached Lu Chusheng to promote his team, speaking rapidly:

"Captain Lu, are you looking for a team? What do you think of us? We've participated in no fewer than fifty game dungeons, so we're very experienced and have a certain ability to handle unexpected situations. More importantly, we have a healing player in our team..."

The male player who was blocking Lu Chusheng's path was pounding his heart. He kept talking about the advantages of his team, hoping to bring Lu Chusheng into his team.

Lu Chusheng is the top scorer in their town's Dawn game! Who wouldn't want to team up with him?!
