Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 217 If that's the case, it's not impossible.

Upon hearing this, He Lingling immediately stopped crying, cleared her throat, and said:

"That's not right, it's not allowed."

Xu Han, standing nearby, scoffed and said disdainfully:

"...Can your fake crying have any substance? You didn't even squeeze out a single tear—"

"Shi Jiu, let's go."

He Lingling laughed and pinched Xu Han's arm. As the latter screamed in pain, she stepped forward, grabbed Yu Shijiu's arm, and rolled her eyes at Xu Han.

"As for players who suddenly start making a scene on the street for no reason, tsk tsk tsk, we should stay away from them, lest someone think we're mentally unstable."

Xu Han, shocked and berated, stared wide-eyed: "Holy crap! He Lingling, have you no shame?!"

"..."

Amidst their bickering, Yu Shijiu's gaze slowly fell on He Lingling's hand, which was draped over his arm.

Actually, he vaguely felt that this action was a bit strange.

While at the sanatorium, Yu Shijiu would occasionally see nurses who seemed to get along well walking arm in arm. Over time, he came to believe that it was a way of showing "friendship" between people.

Yu Shijiu completely ignored the fact that she had never seen men do such things before.

He felt as if he had gained another "friend," and with an unusually firm grip on He Lingling's arm, he said earnestly:

"Yes, you've all come to visit."

The chubby guy lying next to Yu Shijiu: "..."

Why does it feel like its other owner looks a little strange, meow?

Boys and boys—oops! Boys and girls—also link arms and flirt like that, meow?

He Lingling and Xu Han: "..."

The former looked down in surprise at Yu Shijiu's hand hooking around his arm, while the latter nodded blankly in response.

"Oh yeah, yeah, let's all go together..."

He Lingling: "..."

She quickly realized what was happening, and as her gaze fell slightly on her arm, she nodded repeatedly, suppressing a laugh.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Let's go to Shi Jiu's house for a visit!"

"Stop patting yourself on the back, you clingy brat who insists on following along—"

"Damn it! Why did you pinch my flesh again?! It hurts!"

"Heh, those who are foul-mouthed deserve to suffer more!"

"you really……"

"..."

The constant noise around him gradually emptied Yu Shijiu's mind. He smiled as he watched the two people arguing back and forth beside him, experiencing for the first time what it felt like for his ears to "explode".

It turns out to be a feeling that's a little sour, yet funny, but also inexplicably makes you want to cry but you can't.

too weird.

Yu Shijiu picked at his ear as he walked, neither participating nor speaking.

To be fair, although it was noisy, it didn't really make me feel lonely.

The warm midday sun shone down, bathing the three (actually two) chattering young people, as if adding several degrees of warmth to them.

Many players on both sides of the street, who looked much older, stared at them, their indifferent and apathetic expressions seeming to have relaxed a bit.

Sometimes, youth can actually dispel a lot of the fear in players' hearts.

Inspection team.

"what's the result?"

After finishing all the work in the inspection team, Lu Chusheng finally had a brief chance to catch his breath.

He arrived at the door of Lin Feng's room and bumped into the doctor who had just come out of the room.

"How is Lin Feng doing?"

Lu Chusheng asked.

The doctor reached down, removed his glasses, wiped them with his sleeve, and bowed slightly as he said:

"It's not bad; the pollution levels have decreased significantly compared to previous times."

This also shows that Lin Feng's fear of the past has dissipated a lot.

She no longer stubbornly believed that she was a "source of pollution".

"It's a good thing."

Lu Chusheng said in a low voice, with light bags under his handsome eyebrows, showing that he had been very busy lately, to the point that he was tired, even though he almost never had bags under his eyes.

"You too." The doctor took the cleaned glasses back and patted Lu Chusheng's shoulder.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Most of the players in the monitoring team are willing to share the burden for you."

The doctor said.

“…I know,” Lu Chusheng frowned wearily, “but with the start of the guild tournament drawing closer, I’m starting to panic—”

"Does Captain Lu also feel flustered?"

The doctor interrupted Lu Chusheng directly, a smile appearing on his handsome, scholarly face at the opportune moment:

"Our monitoring team will definitely take the lead in this year's guild competition."

"..."

Lu Chusheng chuckled, "I hope so."

"Alright, alright," the doctor gently adjusted the glasses, his tone calm.

"Don't think too much about Zhou Yuanyang's affairs. It's his own choice, and we can't interfere."

So when former teammates become the opposing "enemies," one can only console oneself that at least the other side didn't choose to be a "traitor."

Being an "insider" is far more terrifying than simply leaving your guild and joining another.

"..."

This was the first time Lu Chusheng did not refute this point.

He simply looked at the doctor's calm face and responded softly.

“You go first,” Lu Chusheng reached for the doorknob, “I’m going to talk to Lin Feng about the next time we enter the game instance.”

"it is good."

The doctor readily agreed and stepped back, saying, "You two can talk slowly, there's no rush. I'll be going now."

He rubbed his stomach and laughed, "I didn't even have breakfast before I rushed over for a checkup."

A very faint smile appeared on Lu Chusheng's indifferent face:

"Go ahead, if you go any later, there probably won't even be any left in the pot."

"...Brother Lu really does know how to curse people."

"..."

After the doctor left, Lu Chusheng closed his eyes and knocked on the door in front of him.

The door was opened almost immediately.

Lu Chusheng was slightly taken aback, and then his gaze met that of Lin Feng, who was pale-faced behind the door.

The other person had been waiting behind the door for an unknown amount of time; their eyes were red, with spiderweb-like blood vessels running through them.

Lu Chusheng: "Did you hear that?"

"..." Lin Feng nodded slightly and made way for Lu Chusheng to enter the room.

"Yeah, I heard that."

Lu Chusheng entered the room, watched Lin Feng close the door, walk to the coffee table to pour herself some tea, and said calmly:

"For the first game instance of this guild competition, I plan to have you lead the team."

Lin Feng's hand trembled suddenly as she poured the tea. She looked up in astonishment: "Me? I'm all alone?"

“The doctor will be there too,” Lu Chusheng said. “I’ll be a substitute.”

"Brother Lu." Lin Feng pursed her lips, ignoring the overflowing tea in her cup, her tone earnest:

"I can not."

"why not?"

Lu Chusheng looked up at her, as if stating an obvious fact.

"Is it that you're incapable, or that you're afraid?"
