Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 760 Countdown 1 Days

Zhou Yuanyang's words were sarcastic and cold, as if he was trying to prove something with such indifferent and frightening words.

"People are all different individuals."

Lu Chusheng didn't refute him, but simply said quietly:

"I said I respect everyone's opinion."

After Lu Chusheng uttered the same words a second time, Zhou Yuanyang sneered as if provoked:

"What is respect? It's just being too lazy to care. If we were willing to care and help them, how could they have fallen to the point of being afraid to enter game instances?!"

"It's not the same."

Lu Chusheng frowned; he found it hard to understand what Zhou Yuanyang was thinking.

“I know you always say behind my back that I have almost no feelings and that I’m just a robot who only knows how to follow the rules—but Yuan Yang, I did help you at the beginning.”

Zhou Yuanyang's angry sarcasm froze on his face instantly.

Lu Chusheng picked up the remaining coffee in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He slowly stood up and stared at Zhou Yuanyang, who was frozen in place, with his expression still calm.

"You gave up."

"You didn't believe me, so you gave up."

If Zhou Yuanyang hadn't so readily obeyed the Black Robe Church's leader, the "betrayal" and even the near-death experience would likely not have happened.

Why couldn't we wait a little longer? Why couldn't we wait until he came out to discuss it further before making a decision?

The current situation arose because Zhou Yuanyang gave up communicating with him at the time.

Zhou Yuanyang opened his mouth, wanting to retort, wanting to throw the coffee in front of him in the other person's face to shut him up, but in the end Zhou Yuanyang did nothing.

He just stared blankly at Lu Chusheng's back. Just as the other's figure was about to completely disappear behind the door of the private room, Zhou Yuanyang suddenly remembered the late night and said:

"What about Yu Shijiu?"

Lu Chusheng, whose body was already halfway out of the private room, paused.

Looking up at his back as he paused, Zhou Yuan felt he had won a round:

"Your memory should be recovering, right?"

Lu Chusheng didn't turn around. "How did you know?"

“How would I know…” Zhou Yuanyang repeated the sentence in a low voice, then laughed: “We used to be very good friends, Captain Lu, how could I not know?”

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Lu Chusheng frowned, resisting the urge to turn around, and gave a casual reply:

"Yu Shijiu declined the invitation from the monitoring team and also from the black-robed player. He shouldn't become a 'mediator' in our arguments."

Zhou Yuanyang laughed, as if he had finally found a loophole in Lu Chusheng's defenses. His pupils dilated and contracted like those of an insect.

"I know."

Zhou Yuanyang said, "I was just saying it casually, you believe me, right, Brother Lu?"

"..."

Lu Chusheng did not turn back this time either. He stood there as if he was thinking about something, and then left without looking back.

As the door to the private room closed, the smile on Zhou Yuanyang's face slowly disappeared. His disfigured half of his face looked ghostly under the light, pale and sinister.

It wasn't until the satiated red-legged centipede crawled up his hand and onto his shoulder, finally opening its mandibles to bite his earlobe, that Zhou Yuanyang snapped out of his strange reverie.

"...Oh my God."

Zhou Yuanyang sadly reached out and touched the red-legged centipede's body, whispering:

"Baby...you're all I have left..."

"So this time... you'll definitely be resurrected... right?"

Hissing sounds came from the red-legged centipede in response.

Zhou Yuanyang, however, laughed as if he had heard some heavenly music.

“Yes…” Zhou Yuanyang sighed, “That’s right, we will definitely, we will definitely meet again as human beings…we definitely will.”

The chairman wouldn't lie to him, nor could he.

Guild battles do indeed reward players with items that allow them to "revive." All you have to do is get it—no, snatch it! Just snatch it!

----------

One day until the guild tournament.

After confirming several times that He Lingling's eyes were fine and that Xu Han's fatigue side effects had completely disappeared, An Jie and Chen Yi finally felt relieved.

Chen Yi chuckled and said he would stew some beef soup for dinner and have He Lingling and Xu Han contact Yu Shijiu.

"You two invite Shi Jiu to have dinner together. The guild competition starts tomorrow, so let's have a nice meal together."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly went out to buy groceries, leaving He Lingling looking hesitant.

Anjie chewed her gum and looked at her, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

“No, it’s not this…” He Lingling thought of Lu Chusheng she had seen a couple of days ago, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly recounted what had happened a couple of days ago.

Anjie even forgot to chew her gum: "..."

“Sister An,” He Lingling hesitated, “should I call Shi Jiu? What if Lu Chusheng is still with him?”

If Lu Chusheng insists on cooking for me... will Shi Jiu really be able to come?

"..." An Jie's lips twitched. Thinking of the bracelet that Lu Chusheng had specially given her, she took a deep breath and said, "Contact Shi Jiu. Don't worry, Lu Chusheng is too busy to have time to find Shi Jiu right now."

With the guild competition just around the corner, Lu Chusheng might have had some time to "bother" Yu Shijiu a couple of days ago, but today, he has absolutely no free time.

The inspection team is, after all, a large guild. With so many people gathered together, they still have to select participants for the guild competition. It would be strange if Lu Chusheng, as the person in charge, really had time to run around aimlessly.

"Oh, okay, then I'll contact Shi Jiu to come over for dinner."

Upon hearing this, He Lingling felt as if she had found a pillar of support and immediately began contacting Yu Shijiu.

—On the other side.

After receiving He Lingling's message, Yu Shijiu was about to agree, but hesitated for a while.

These past few days, Lu Chusheng has been acting strangely, coming to her house three times a day to cook for her—yes, he even comes in the morning, and he wakes Yu Shijiu up to eat before she goes back to sleep.

Thinking about this made Yu Shijiu very angry, but considering that Lu Chusheng's cooking was delicious, she didn't seem so angry anymore.

So, will Lu Chusheng come today?

Yu Shijiu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly heard Xiao Li's voice in her mind: "Why don't you just ask? Is it that hard?"

Yu Shijiu shook her head: [I don't want to ask.]

Xiao Li: [Are you out of your mind? What's wrong with asking if he's coming to cook? It's not like I'm asking him if he wants to come over to sleep.]

Yu Shijiu was silent for a few seconds: [I only have one bed here; he can't sleep here anyway.]

[...] Xiao Li was stunned by Yu Shijiu's strange thought process, and it took her a while to say:

No, I was teaching you how to get along with friends, you know? Why did you suddenly say, "You only have one bed, he can't sleep in it"?

Aren't you two both men? Tell me, what can't two men do to sleep together?
