Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 611 Selection

One after another, the doors around the corridor opened, and guests of varying heights and builds, whose faces were obscured but who were all dressed in obviously luxurious and expensive clothes, emerged from behind the doors and all looked at Yu Shijiu and the others who were bowing their heads.

As for Lu Chusheng—he had already darted into a corner and hidden himself when he saw the guests appear.

Even if Dawn Games might obscure his "animal" characteristics to some extent, any NPC with even a little bit of story content will notice him.

NPCs will subconsciously ignore why the "cat" got on the ship, but they will never ignore where the cat is.

As Lu Chusheng carefully concealed himself in a corner, he noticed that Yu Shijiu seemed to glance in his direction.

"..."

Lu Chusheng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu had his back to him and his head down, looking timid, cowardly, and frail.

It was as if the person who had secretly looked up just now wasn't him.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

"Hey!"

A guest, whose face was obscured by the door, suddenly called out to Yu Shijiu:

"It's you, come here! I need to ask you something!"

Yu Shijiu, who was targeted first, looked up blankly, but her gaze remained fixed on the guest's chin. She whispered:

"Sir, is there something you need from me?"

"Why would I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

The first male customer to speak was clearly not very old, judging from his voice he was probably around thirty, but his build was...

Yu Shijiu's gaze drifted lightly to the fat on the man opposite her, which was almost bulging out of the fabric... She blinked in disbelief.

—Judging from his short life, which he has spent most of his time in sanatoriums, truly wealthy people rarely have such an obese body.

Most wealthy people are very strict about managing their physique, because no matter how much money you earn, it's all for nothing if you don't live to enjoy it.

Of course, this excludes those who are sick or those who lack self-control.

Moreover, the male guest who called out to him didn't look very old, which almost ruled out the possibility that he had a physical illness. Besides, if he were sick, he wouldn't have come on the boat to play. If something really happened and he was at sea, would he really think he was tired of living?

"Sir," Yu Shijiu said in a very soft voice, still appearing timid despite a barrage of guesses and complaints running through his mind, "I'm not an employee on the second floor—"

"I don't care what floor you're on! I told you to come here, so come here! Can't you understand me?!"

The obese male customer slapped Yu Shijiu's shoulder with such force that it almost shattered Yu Shijiu's bones.

"..."

After the obese male customer slapped him, the eyes of the three people and the cat standing motionless with their heads down behind him, like puppets, twitched several times simultaneously.

He Lingling and Xu Han: ...Damn, this NPC is probably going to kick the bucket tonight!

Shi Yuan: ...Your courage is commendable.

Lu Chusheng in the corner: ...

He stared at the fat male guest's hand on Yu Shijiu's shoulder, grinding his sharp teeth in annoyance, his chest filled with unspeakable anger.

Yu Shijiu can hide.

Lu Chusheng saw it clearly: when the male guest clapped his hands, Yu Shijiu subconsciously wanted to step back, but for some reason stopped.

...Is it because they don't want to disrupt the plot?

Lu Chusheng knew he should be pleased that Yu Shijiu now understood the importance of "putting the big picture first," since this was the only way to survive longer in the game instance. However, the frustration and anger in his heart were also reminding him of something—while putting the big picture first was effective, it could also lead to more injuries for the players.

It's similar to Yu Shijiu now.

Yu Shijiu's shoulder must be fractured now.

Lu Chusheng stared at Yu Shijiu's unnaturally trembling shoulders, and her long, fluffy tail behind her was frantically thrashing back and forth in a panic.

"...You are right."

Yu Shijiu lowered his eyelids, feeling the excruciating pain from the fractured bone in his shoulder, yet a sincere smile appeared in his eyes.

"It is my fault."

If you peel off the skin of an obese person, is the flesh and blood just as foul and disgusting?

Yu Shijiu thought.

"That's more like it."

The obese male customer withdrew his hand, coughed several times, and his voice became rough and hoarse.

"My throat is sore. Go to the kitchen and get me some water. Also, I want to eat fresh vegetables for breakfast today. Remember, I only want fresh vegetables. Got it?"

"it is good."

Yu Shijiu nodded obediently, "I'll remember."

How can someone who is covered in fat eat only vegetables for breakfast? And only vegetables? How can such a simple diet feed a person to this extent?

As Yu Shijiu turned to leave, she looked up and remembered the fat man's room door before leaving the corridor.

The other three exchanged a silent glance: "..."

Xu Han winked and tried to follow, but before he could take the first step, a female guest in a gorgeous dress called out to him.

"come here."

The female guest's indistinct features seemed to smile slightly. She gently nodded at Xu Han and said with a smile:

"You're so silly, it's you. Come here."

Xu Han: "?"

He wanted to look up, but then suddenly remembered what He Lingling and Shi Yuan had just said, and hurriedly pointed to himself.

"me?"

Xu Han said something in a very low voice.

The female customer covered her mouth and laughed, her soft laughter clear and melodious.

"It's you, come here quickly, I need your help with something."

"..."

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine. He subconsciously glanced at He Lingling beside him and noticed that He Lingling had been called away by a female customer whose face he couldn't see.

"..." He wanted to look at Shi Yuan again, but just as Shi Yuan was about to say something, he was called away by a male guest whose face he couldn't see.

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han swallowed hard, his cheeks twitching, and slowly walked toward the female customer.

"Um, Miss, Miss, what do you need me for?"

As Xu Han spoke, he walked forward. When he got closer, the female guest, whose face he couldn't see, suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him directly into the room with a bang.

He Lingling and Shi Yuan, who had their backs to Xu Han, turned around at the same time and saw the door was tightly closed.

Xu Han, who should have been standing by the door... was gone.

He Lingling and Shi Yuan's faces instantly froze.

The former was somewhat worried, while the latter was grabbed by the wrist by the "male guest" whose face was not clearly visible, and felt nauseous and her stomach was churning with acid.

"What are you looking at?"

The female customer in front of He Lingling leaned closer to her, her cool breath gently falling on He Lingling's ear, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible muttony smell.

"...No, I didn't see anything."

He Lingling naturally couldn't ignore the faint smell of mutton, and her head lowered even further, her throat, which had been choked by ash, started to itch again.

痒？

Why is my throat itchy again?
