Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 603 Game?

Xu Han, unaware of Lu Chusheng's gaze, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and asked softly:

"Then let's..."

"Let's go," Yu Shijiu said, relaxing his limbs and bending down to massage his calves.

"Let's go stage an accident before lunch starts."

Xu Han: "?"

Staged accident? What kind of staged accident? What could they possibly be staging?

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine. He stared in disbelief at Yu Shijiu, who had already begun searching for the way, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Holy crap! Shi Jiu, you're not thinking of going to chat with those guests, are you?!"

Xu Han found it extremely difficult to say the words "let's chat".

"That's not the case either."

Yu Shijiu shook his head.

Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and was about to follow when he heard—

"I was thinking, should we randomly pick a few lucky customers to chop a few times later?"

Yu Shijiu's face looked even more "well-behaved" under the light.

"Sigh, I just feel a bit itchy to touch my hands."

The well-behaved boy sighed, "It's all Brother Jin's fault."

"..."

Xu Han was so shocked by those two sentences that his soul almost left his body. "Holy crap—no, Shi Jiu, it's me, it's me, it's Shi Jiu!!!"

Having regained his ability to organize his thoughts, Xu Han broke down in a low voice:

"Me! Me! Look at me, Shi Jiu! It's me!"

Xu Han pointed to his "weak" self and humbly reminded himself:

"I'm not the smart He Lingling, nor the strong Chen Ge and An Jie, Shi Jiu, I'm just a weak, helpless, and pitiful healing player!!!"

Lu Chusheng, who remained silent to the side: "..."

He lowered his head expressionlessly and licked the slightly sticky paw pad (which he guessed had come into contact with blood), continuing to vigilantly observe the dark corners where the sunlight couldn't reach.

"Oh."

Yu Shijiu looked at Xu Han, who seemed on the verge of collapse, hesitated for a few seconds, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you're very useful."

Xu Han, who had been praised for being very useful, was speechless.

He felt that Yu Shijiu's words sounded a bit odd as a "response" here—

"So you'd better hide well later. If I get beaten up and injured and can't move, then you can come out and treat me, okay?"

"Is our division of labor clear?"

Yu Shijiu said earnestly.

“…Clearly? Clearly?” Xu Han was really a bit crazy this time. He gave a strange smile and said, “Shi Jiu, you really are someone who seeks fortune in danger.”

Shouldn't we consider him, someone who doesn't want to hold anyone back and just wants to be a medic?!

What do you call this?! Is this what you call "like father, like son (or brothers) going to war together"?!

Will he really not be a burden?! Yu Shijiu really overestimates him, huh...

I don't really like that sentence.

Yu Shijiu frowned, looking at Xu Han disapprovingly:

"I prefer the word 'mutual help'."

Now it's about whether you like this estimate or not.

"..." Xu Han was forced to calm down. He wiped his face hard, his expression blank with utter despair.

"Alright, alright, let's help each other out! Let's go, let's go! Let this defenseless medic go to the battlefield too..."

"..." Yu Shijiu glanced at him as she walked, asking curiously:

"What medic? Isn't that a player?"

"...code name, no, it's an adjective, an adjective."

Xu Han sighed and muttered beside him:

"Players and medics are exactly the same. When I used to play Peacekeeper Elite in real life, all I did was save up meds and play defensively. My random teammates would often ask me where I was hiding the whole game, haha..."

Thinking back to the times he was often scolded while playing games, Xu Han couldn't help but laugh, and said with a proud look:

"I almost always manage to survive to second place, hahaha!"

"Peace Elite? Second place? Random squad? Camping?"

Yu Shijiu, who had never played any games before, became even more curious, "What is this?"

"It's a battle royale game... wait a minute!"

Xu Han, who was chatting casually, suddenly realized something and turned to look at Yu Shijiu. "Shijiu, have you never played games before?"

"I've played it."

Yu Shijiu was baffled by the question.

"I knew it! How could someone not have played games?"

"Aren't we just playing a game right now?"

Yu Shijiu's next words caused Xu Han's voice to stop deep in his throat.

Lu Chusheng's heart suddenly started beating faster.

...Yu Shijiu had indeed never played any recreational games.

Xu Han looked at Yu Shijiu with an expression as if his vocal cords had suddenly been cut off, and whispered "I lean on you" several times.

"Shi Jiu, you really didn't play any games before you died?"

"...There are no games in the sanatorium anymore."

Yu Shijiu, belatedly realizing the meaning behind Xu Han's words, was unusually embarrassed.

"I may have misunderstood."

Yu Shijiu smiled with his eyes narrowed, his expression unchanged, but his hands, hanging down at his sides, unconsciously clenched for a few seconds.

"I thought you meant a game instance."

After all, Dawn Games... is still a type of game.

"oops."

Xu Han may seem carefree, but he is actually quite meticulous; otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of NPCs who are strange or supernatural.

Noticing that Yu Shijiu seemed a little off, Xu Han immediately stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered:

"What's the big deal? I didn't play that often before, hehe, just occasionally. After we go out with Brother Chen, Sister An... oh and He Lingling, I'll teach you guys to play that... that 5v5 game, we'll have five of us, hahaha..."

"5v5 game?"

Yu Shijiu seemed to be drawn in by the game he was talking about, and without caring that Xu Han had his arm around her, she blinked and said:

"Is it fun?"

"Fun!"

Xu Han nodded without hesitation, then paused for a few seconds before adding in a low voice:

"Sometimes the system, well, how should I put it? The system isn't very good, it makes people want to curse while playing..."

"Mechanism? Swearing? Why swear?"

"...They're just a bunch of idiots who insist on ruining games for others, but it's fine when we go out. We're all on the same side, there's no such thing as not ruining games for others..."

"..."

Behind the two, Lu Chusheng followed slowly, his paw pads always feeling a little sticky when they stepped on the floor—he suspected that he hadn't licked them clean enough.

As he thought about it, Lu Chusheng looked up at Xu Han "hugging" (actually just simply hugging) Yu Shijiu's arm and gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Lu Chusheng froze when a sharp scratching sound rang out in the corridor.

Ahead, Yu Shijiu and Xu Han, having heard the sound, turned around simultaneously. The former looked at him curiously and asked:

"Fatty, what's wrong? Is your paw bothering you?"

"..."

Lu Chusheng closed his eyes helplessly, and shook his cat head, suppressing his shame.

Why did he become increasingly unable to control his behavior after turning into a cat?
