Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 272 Credits! Everything is for "credits"!

If all NPCs are monsters, then "Miss" is no exception.

So the question is, what role does "Miss" play in this game instance?

A bystander... or someone who knows but pretends not to see anything...?

------------

On the other side, He and Xu, who had the idea of ​​taking a stroll in the woods outside the villa, were stopped by the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper by the front door seemed to have a clone of herself, appearing in the living room in a flash.

"Two guests." The old housekeeper nodded slightly, blocking the tightly closed iron gate behind her, her tone still respectful and gentle.

"What the gentleman means is that it would be better to manage all the guests safely in the villa during the banquet."

They wouldn't let them out...

He Lingling subconsciously bit her lip, the pain making her pull Xu Han back a step, and feigning curiosity, she asked:

"Huh? The banquet is starting? When does the banquet start?"

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "It will be in the next few days, my guest. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just wait until the banquet is over, and the master will have me escort you all out of the villa safely."

"..."

Xu Han felt something was off about those words. Just as he was about to speak, his arm suddenly throbbed with pain.

Xu Han: "..."

He hissed in shock, completely bewildered as to why He Lingling had suddenly pinched him again—

"Is that so?"

He Lingling seemed completely oblivious to Xu Han's angry gaze, and said with a slight smile:

"May I ask how many days it will take for Mr. Xiao to leave this banquet?"

Seemingly worried that the elderly housekeeper might overthink things, He Lingling quickly added:

"Sigh, we really can't leave our children at home. We're first-time parents too, and we're still a little worried about leaving our parents to look after the kids alone..."

She went on and on, and Xu Han's eyes widened in disbelief.

What the hell? !

Children? Parents? Worried? What strange things is He Lingling talking about?!

Despite his thoughts, Xu Han quickly put on an embarrassed expression and lowered his head.

No, they look so young, can the butler really trust them?

Sure enough, the old housekeeper's face, which had turned gloomy when He Lingling asked about the time, froze instantly, and she looked at He and Xu with a suspicious gaze.

"child?"

The elderly housekeeper frowned: "I remember the master said that all of you guests are college graduates, in your early twenties. How could you possibly have children so early—"

"For the credits."

He Lingling naturally accepted the old housekeeper's question, feeling both emotional and shy.

“Mom, you don’t know, you can’t graduate from university if you don’t have enough credits. I didn’t know that before, and when I found out I was two credits short of graduating, I felt like the sky was falling. But then I thought, well, my boyfriend and I have been dating for almost two years, so we can just get married and make up the credits. That’s how we got married and had a child…”

Xu Han: "..."

Players in front of the screen: "..."

Anjie, who had already washed the strawberries and was sitting on the sofa wall with a cake base in her mouth, was speechless.

She choked on a piece of cake that fell into her throat, and her wheat-colored skin instantly turned yellowish-red.

“Lingling…” Chen Yi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Honestly, what's going on in her head all day long..."

"..."

Anjie was still coughing, and it took her a long time to cough up the cake crumbs stuck in her throat.

"...Never mind, never mind."

Anjie gulped down a mouthful of water and said in a hoarse voice, "At least I can fool them."

Sure enough, the old housekeeper, who had clearly been stunned for a few seconds on the screen, actually thought for quite a while. Finally, after looking at the open door of the villa and hesitating for a moment, she actually took out her phone from her pocket.

Yes, cell phone.

Xu Han's forced smile faltered, and he quickly nudged He Lingling slightly, winking at her.

What to do, what to do, what to do! Why is this housekeeper even using his phone to search for information?!

Taking advantage of his height, Xu Han even saw the elderly housekeeper awkwardly typing on a nine-key keyboard.

Can college students use their marriage certificate to earn credits if they don't have enough?

No way, why would an NPC in a game instance need to search for information online?!

Isn't this a bit too outrageous!

While the old housekeeper was looking down at her phone, He Lingling grabbed Xu Han's arm, which was thrashing about, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Don't move!"

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han remained silent and motionless.

"Mother-in-law?"

Seeing that the old housekeeper had been staring at her phone for a long time, He Lingling swallowed and asked again:

What are you looking at?

The old housekeeper slowly raised her head, squinted her eyes, and suddenly chuckled happily.

"Wow, there really is such a policy? That's really strange."

As he spoke, he lovingly took He Lingling's hand and gently patted it, nagging:

"These days, kids don't like it when we older folks urge them to get married and have children. They say it's harming them. What kind of talk is that! We elders are just doing this for the good of the younger generation. What's wrong with getting married and having children? Getting married and having children are major life events..."

"..."

As soon as the interruption started, the old housekeeper seemed to have some new switch flipped, and she started babbling on and on.

Where was the cold, menacing look on his face that threatened to skin them alive?

He Lingling, who brought up the topic, was speechless.

Although she felt somewhat desperate, she didn't regret it too much.

She would still choose between being nagged a few times and facing a life-threatening situation.

Xu Han was completely bewildered, raising his eyebrows and scratching his head, looking like a complete idiot who didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until He Lingling "kindly" reminded her that there wasn't much time left to make lunch that the old housekeeper reluctantly let go of her hand.

Before entering the villa, she turned back to look at He Lingling and the other woman, smiling happily like a flower.

"That's exactly how it should be! It's so wonderful to have two people raising a child together and taking care of each other..."

He Lingling forced a smile and nodded, "You're right."

What the hell!

These days, wouldn't you be struck by lightning if you rashly advised someone to get married?!

The old housekeeper was satisfied.

He Lingling breathed a sigh of relief once the surroundings were completely quiet.

She leaned weakly on Xu Han's shoulder, feeling annoyed as she looked at his silly face.

"Why did you suddenly touch me like that?! Are you afraid our fake relationship won't be discovered?!"

Xu Han: "...Well, I'm just afraid your lies will be exposed—"

"lie?"

He Lingling stared wide-eyed at Xu Han with a look of suspicion.

"Xu Han."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever been to school or surfed the internet?"
