Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 366 Dinner Party

town.

After the Dawn Games released the upgrade announcement, many players in the game's dungeons noticed something was wrong.

Similar scenes kept appearing on the live stream screen, such as the BOSS suddenly realizing something, becoming either more insane or going mad in silence...

The players watching the game wiped the cold sweat from their faces, secretly relieved that they hadn't entered the game's instance.

If they were completely unaware of anything in the game instance... and suddenly leveled up like this, they might lose their lives in the game instance.

"So, what does this actually mean?"

He Lingling opened the refrigerator door, picked out a lychee-flavored soda, opened it, and slammed the refrigerator door shut.

Anjie sat on the sofa in the living room, with a table full of delicious-looking dishes in front of her, their steaming heat glistening under the lights, making one unconsciously take a deep breath.

"Is it similar to NPCs and monsters having extra memories, so they know our identities as players?"

Anjie waved to Xu Han and raised her chin, "Xu Han went to call Shi Jiu and said it's time to eat."

Xu Han, who was watching the live stream, said "oh" and ran downstairs to find Yu Shijiu.

"They probably knew something about it, didn't they?"

He Lingling took the soda, unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and gulped down a few mouthfuls, hissing as she did so.

"I have a feeling that Dawn Games is holding back something."

He Lingling burped and said precisely, "Won't this make it even harder for us to fight bosses in the game? Ugh, so annoying."

“The NPCs do know something,” Anjie did not deny He Lingling’s words. She took a sip of tea and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"At least the monsters in the trial game know that we players exist."

"Fine, fine, let's just change it and upgrade it."

He Lingling's side effects had only been gone for a few days, and she felt wonderful to be able to see things clearly again.

"I didn't have many years left to live anyway."

This was obviously just a casual joke; He Lingling really didn't want to die so young.

"What are you thinking, Sister An?"

He Lingling turned her head to look at the silent An Jie and asked.

"Is the next game instance coming soon? I'm wondering if I should team up with Shi Jiu and Xu Han again to go in together. Oh, right." He Lingling hesitated for a moment, thinking of something.

"Sister An, why don't you and Brother Chen team up with us and go in too?"

"Not for the time being."

Anjie shook her head and refused without hesitation.

"My score is too high. Although there are no explicit rules stating that a high score may increase the difficulty of game dungeons, I am still a little worried."

Ange picked up an orange and started peeling it, then sighed:

"Chen Yi can find some time to run some game dungeons with you guys, but as for me, I'll wait until the guild points competition."

"That's okay too."

He Lingling nodded, glanced at Chen Yi's back as he was still busy in the kitchen, and chuckled.

"Brother Chen is really amazing. He can cook all kinds of dishes. No wonder he was able to attract Yu Shijiu with food."

Anjie laughed upon hearing this, "Food only accounts for part of the reason; the main reason is Shi Jiu's personal opinion."

Although Yu Shijiu was unwilling to interact with most players, he wasn't stupid. He knew that fighting alone would attract too much attention in town. For one thing, the guild called the Black Robe Church was very annoying.

They followed him around like mice all day, chattering and whining. Yu Shijiu was already fed up with just dealing with them.

It would be better to just join a team to eliminate any future problems.

"We should thank the Black Robe Church for this."

Anjie said.

He Lingling frowned upon hearing this. "The Black Robe Church doesn't seem like the type to let this go easily. They shouldn't give up just because Shi Jiu joined a small team..."

He Lingling didn't continue speaking after that.

Anjie didn't seem to care much about that. She lowered her eyes and looked at the clear, golden tea in the cup in front of her, then gently blew on it.

“Don’t worry,” Anjie said, “Zhou Yuanyang won’t do anything stupid.”

"……Why?"

He Lingling was somewhat puzzled.

"because I."

Ange said, "He wouldn't want to offend me."

As the top-ranked player on the Dawn game leaderboard, Anjie is considered by some veteran players to be an untouchable member of the first tier.

However, nowadays, only a few people know Anjie's past identity.

Zhou Yuanyang is one, Lu Chusheng is another, as well as that old man from the Black Robe Church who rarely shows his face, and other veteran figures from various guilds...

Actually, there aren't many; they can be counted on one hand.

He Lingling wanted to continue asking questions, but Chen Yi came out of the kitchen carrying freshly made sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Shi Jiu hasn't arrived yet?"

Chen Yi's chubby, cheerful face was beaming with smiles. He squinted his eyes like a Maitreya Buddha and chuckled:

"Lingling, hurry up and urge Xiaohan to finish cooking. The soup I'm stewing will be ready soon, and we can eat it then."

Chen Yi added, "Remember to tell Xiao Han and Shi Jiu that the soup won't taste good if it gets cold."

"……OK."

He Lingling sensed that An Jie and the other person didn't want to continue the conversation, so she immediately nodded and started contacting Xu Han.

Just as Xu Han led Yu Shijiu and Feifei up to the second floor, Chen Yi was carrying a bowl of pork rib soup out of the kitchen.

"Eat, eat."

Chen Yi wiped his hands on the apron tied around his waist, then pulled out a chair and sat down with a cheerful smile.

"Shi Jiu must be starving. I've been asking you to come over for meals these past few days, but you've said you don't have time. Today, Brother Chen has prepared a whole table of delicious food for you."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu was indeed very happy.

Looking at the table laden with delicious food, he had a fleeting thought of moving in with them.

But he quickly suppressed the idea—after all, he still had a chubby baby to raise, and living together would be somewhat inconvenient… Although Yu Shijiu knew that Anjie and the others wouldn’t mind if he brought the chubby baby to live with them.

"Sister Lingling moved in?"

Yu Shijiu patted Feifei's head, and when Feifei sat down with him, he turned to talk to He Lingling.

"You're here." He Lingling yawned, still half-asleep, and blinked.

"It's good to save on room fees. The location I'm staying in isn't great to begin with, and I can hear the noisy shouts of those players in the plaza every day. It's not as quiet as Sister An and her group's place."

Xu Han sat down sullenly, looking extremely hungry.

"Of course! Don't you think about how many points our rent costs? It's so expensive! I'm afraid Sister An might suddenly go bankrupt someday."

"Xu Han."

Anjie glared at Xu Han and coughed.

"Go serve everyone rice."

Xu Han glared at her, muttering under his breath as he handed Yu Shijiu chopsticks:

"Why should I go? No way, let He Lingling go. She hasn't served rice once since she moved here!"
