Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 226 Mission

When He Lingling looked over from a short distance away, Yu Shijiu also noticed the gaze behind him.

He subconsciously turned around and met Lu Chusheng's gaze as he walked over.

Compared to Yu Shijiu, who was covered in dirt and grime, Lu Chusheng looked quite clean; at least his head wasn't covered in any rotten leaves or anything like that.

Lu Chusheng was already tall, and his physique had become more robust due to his years of gaming experience. At this moment, he was wearing a slightly fitted black long-sleeved shirt and loose trousers, which made him appear even taller.

Yu Shijiu was somewhat unhappy.

He felt the game might be targeting him.

Why does Lu Chusheng look so clean and tidy?

Xiao Li, who was about to speak: [...]

It intended to read the game's preface before making its comments, but couldn't help speaking out directly:

Dawn Games is a very fair and just game! Don't slander it!

Yu Shijiu ignored it and walked directly to Lu Chusheng's side without saying a word, patting the other's shoulder.

"Wow, Captain Lu, you woke up so quickly!"

Yu Shijiu offered his "praise" in a completely half-hearted manner, casually wiping Lu Chusheng's shoulder with his hand.

Yu Shijiu, satisfied, withdrew his hand after wiping the rotten leaves and juice from his palm.

Seeing this, and belatedly realizing she had been ignored, Xiao Li: [...]

After a few seconds of rage, the virtual system's brain slowly recovered, striving to calm down before beginning to read the game's preface:

You are an ordinary college student who, while receiving a scholarship at school, also received an invitation to a banquet from the wealthy Xiao family.

The male head of the Xiao family was very dedicated to charity. He sponsored many students and orphans who were struggling to survive, and was a true philanthropist.

This banquet was organized by the Xiao family, who randomly selected the students they were sponsoring. They were very willing to talk and ask questions of the students they were sponsoring in order to understand their character and academic situation...

You were very happy and touched by this, after all, you would have dropped out of school long ago if it weren't for the Xiao family's financial support.

Player Yu Shijiu's identity: A college student sponsored by the Xiao family.

Provisional mission: Travel with all the sponsored students to Mr. Xiao's villa. Mission countdown: 15:00

Upon hearing the mission notification, Yu Shijiu remained unmoved, slowly wiping his hands until he was almost done before withdrawing them.

Lu Chusheng, however, seemed completely oblivious to his actions, his expression cold but his gaze still relatively gentle.

"I didn't wake up as early as you."

Lu Chusheng said.

He told the truth.

Yu Shijiu raised his chin and hummed in agreement. He looked quite energetic after wiping his hands clean. He then waved to Xu Han and He Lingling, who had stood up and were walking towards him from a distance.

Xu Han's eyes lit up: "Look! Shi Jiu really misses me!"

Look at the speed of that wave, look at those extremely surprised (he made that up) eyes! My God! Yu Shijiu is truly his good friend!

He Lingling, who was just about to speak, was speechless.

She glanced at Xu Han with an expression as if he were an idiot, and silently moved a little further away from him.

Honestly, the more time she spent with Xu Han, the more she realized that Xu Han might not be very bright... No wonder An Jie and Chen Yi always got a headache just mentioning him...

Treating everyone as a good person isn't necessarily a good thing.

Yu Shijiu is fine, but He Lingling is worried that Xu Han might mistake the other players for "friends".

She just didn't voice her thoughts. If Xu Han found out, he'd probably be furious for a minute.

He's not stupid! He can't possibly treat everyone as a "good person"!

Xu Han provides immense emotional comfort. As soon as he got close to Yu Shijiu, he quickly pulled a lollipop out of his backpack and handed it to her.

"Come on, have some candy! The smell here is a bit awful!"

Xu Han enthusiastically handed lollipops to Yu Shijiu and He Lingling, but when it was Lu Chusheng's turn, Xu Han hesitated for a few seconds.

It wasn't that Xu Han was reluctant... She just felt that Lu Chusheng didn't seem like the type to eat sweets; he seemed more like the type who smoked...

Before he could hesitate for long, Yu Shijiu took a lollipop from his hand, which he was about to give or not, and handed it to Lu Chusheng, looking up and saying:

Here, catch it.

Xu Han: "?!!"

Shi Jiu is so brave!

That's the captain of the inspection team! The temporary leader of their town!

Lu Chusheng subconsciously took the lollipop. He looked at the strawberry-flavored lollipop in his hand, rubbed the rough wrapper between his fingertips, and a smile spread across his eyes.

"Thank you."

Lu Chusheng said.

Xu Han exclaimed in surprise, then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"No need, Captain Lu, it's just a lollipop."

I never expected Captain Lu to eat lollipops...

He Lingling, who was watching from the sidelines: "..."

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, then looked down, unwrapped her blueberry lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and mumbled:

"Did Captain Lu specifically enter this game, or was it random?"

Logically speaking, given Xu Han and Yu Shijiu's gaming experience, it should be difficult for them to enter the same game instance as a veteran player like Lu Chusheng.

"He teamed up with me too."

Yu Shijiu, with a lollipop in his mouth, was all smiles and looked very happy.

"We're all in the same team for now."

Yu Shijiu said.

Xu Han was very accommodating: "Our combination is fantastic, we're sure to pass the level!"

"..." He Lingling said coolly, "But we've only just begun. Isn't it a bit too premature for you to say something like that now?"

Xu Han scratched his head and grinned foolishly: "Say more auspicious words, it's always good."

Besides, I didn't lie! Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng are both very strong, and with my healing talent as logistical support, we can definitely clear the level safely and quickly!

As for He Lingling... Xu Han simply ignored her.

He Lingling could guess what Xu Han was thinking just by looking at his expression, so she couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

She pulled her student ID from her pocket and spoke quickly to Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng:

"This is my student ID. The background shows a female college student who received financial aid. She was one of the lucky ones who was randomly selected to attend the banquet."

"We have less than ten minutes left before we enter the villa, so I suggest we set off now."

While the group was exchanging greetings and conversations, many players gradually regained consciousness and began forming teams to head to the villa.

At this moment, there are fewer than ten players standing in this forest.

As for the remaining players who haven't left yet...

Lu Chusheng glanced at the players who were looking at him, hesitating whether to come up and get closer to him, and frowned slightly.

"We should hurry."

Lu Chusheng stuffed the strawberry-flavored lollipop in his hand into his pocket.

"We don't have much time left."
