Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 730 7 days later

He Lingling continued to sneer: "Because I have to earn points to support myself, and the people in the inspection team don't care that much about points."

Actually, not everyone is like that—He Lingling suspected that every time she and the monitoring team went down a dungeon in the game, the points they got were paid for by Lu Chusheng out of his own pocket.

After all, Lu Chusheng was a "saintly husband" who liked to show kindness to players who were young.

"?"

Xu Han was shocked: "So you used to make money in the wild?!"

He Lingling: "...Alright, stop talking about me. Think about why Lu Chusheng was willing to bend down and pat Shi Jiu's head?"

Xu Han's eyes lit up as she spoke, but she was mostly confused: "Huh? How would I know?"

He Lingling closed her eyes.

Yeah... you clearly didn't know either, so why did you so naturally ask me if I knew?! Can't you just keep reciting the idea of ​​"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you"?!

A string of complaints jumped around in He Lingling's head, but she didn't know that the real reason was that they couldn't see the cat ears growing on Lu Chusheng's head from where they were sitting, so the scene between Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng looked a bit ambiguous...

"..."

Completely unaware that he and Yu Shijiu had been "seen naked," Lu Chusheng coughed lightly, reminding the boy in front of him who was constantly rubbing his ear.

"Shi Jiu".

Lu Chusheng pursed his lips and said, "I can't stay here any longer. I have to go back to the inspection team."

"what?"

Yu Shijiu rubbed it a few more times, somewhat reluctantly, and muttered softly:

"How come it's so fast? Will you grow cat ears again next time?"

"..." Lu Chusheng's back stiffened. He didn't dare look Yu Shijiu in the eye, resisted the urge to rub against her, and shook his head:

"Probably not."

"...What a pity."

Yu Shijiu reluctantly let go, handing the hat back to Lu Chusheng. Watching the latter put the hat on, she watched as his owner ruthlessly pressed the two soft, warm cat ears into the hat—

Yu Shijiu felt a pang of heartache: "What a waste!"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Is this how "wasting resources" is used?

Wasn't the school he attended the same as the one Yu Shijiu attended?

The flush on Lu Chusheng's ears froze for a moment.

Yes.

Lu Chusheng pursed his lips as he thought of the boy who had been confined to the ward for a long time and who always talked to him from afar by the window.

Did Yu Shijiu ever go to school?

"Since there are no ears to touch."

Yu Shijiu, who was suspected of not having gone to school, looked down and called out to the chubby guy next to her who was busy grooming his hair.

"Feifei, we should go."

After being ignored for a while, Fatty slowly looked up at Yu Shijiu, meowed, stood up, and walked towards him.

Hmm, as she passed Lu Chusheng, she angrily lashed his calf with her tail.

Lu Chusheng, who was being slapped: "..."

He always felt that Lai Bao/Fei Fei seemed to like Yu Shi Jiu a little more than himself... Was it just his imagination?

"Let's go then."

Yu Shijiu waved to Lu Chusheng, who suddenly stood still for some reason.

"Captain Lu."

Before turning around, the boy winked at him gently: "Your ears feel really nice to touch."

Lu Chusheng's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously took a step forward, but the boy had already led the big orange cat far away, heading towards the coffee shop around the corner not far away.

"..."

Only after Yu Shijiu and Feifei disappeared behind the glass door of the coffee shop did Lu Chusheng slowly withdraw his gaze.

He glanced down at the time on his wristwatch, his expression growing even colder.

At the same time, the system notification he used to contact Dr. Lin Feng and others suddenly sounded.

Lu Chusheng glanced at the players scattered around the square watching the live stream and pressed the answer button.

"Brother Lu."

Lin Feng's slightly anxious voice came from the other end, "The time for the guild tournament has been confirmed."

Lu Chusheng raised his hand to adjust his hat: "Just came out?"

"Yes."

You could tell that Lin Feng was trying her best to suppress her excitement and anxiety, but you could still faintly sense the other person's unstable emotions from her voice.

"One week later."

"Seven days... that's too rushed..." Lin Feng said to herself, "Should we still choose the lottery method this time?"

"Wait for me to go back."

Lu Chusheng said, "Let me see who in the monitoring team will be able to participate in the guild competition a week from now."

"……Yes."

The conversation between the two was very brief. Lu Chusheng abruptly ended the call and quickly walked towards the area where the inspection team was located.

Guild Tournament...

Once the guild tournament begins, Zhou Yuanyang will definitely participate.

Thinking of Zhou Yuanyang's disfigured face... Lu Chusheng sighed slowly, very slowly.

If that incident hadn't happened... he and Zhou Yuanyang wouldn't have ended up like this today...

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

Cafe.

Xu Han looked at Yu Shijiu, who had already "parted ways" with Lu Chusheng, and excitedly tapped the tray with his spoon, "She's here, she's here!"

"We're here."

He Lingling felt a little guilty for some reason: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Are they afraid that Yu Shijiu won't hear them spying on the "ambiguous scene" between him and Lu Chusheng?

Xu Han was stunned by the retort, "Huh? Was I that loud?"

It wasn't actually that loud—but He Lingling still nodded earnestly:

"Yes."

He Lingling's expression remained unchanged: "Very loud."

Xu Han: "?"

He recalled his tone of voice just now and felt that he hadn't used that much volume, and subconsciously wanted to refute it:

"No-"

"Shi Jiu".

He Lingling, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up and smiled at the boy who was looking around by the glass door, her face covered by a white veil.

He Lingling waved and raised her voice slightly: "Here."

The players sitting around looked up at He Lingling, whose eyes were covered by a white veil, and a few of them revealed meaningful smiles.

Xu Han: "..."

He felt the gazes directed at him from all around and thought that He Lingling's voice truly deserved the description "loud".

Didn't you see how many people were looking in their direction?

It must be He Lingling's voice that was too loud and disturbed them!

"Sister Lingling, Brother Han."

Yu Shijiu walked over, smiled and nodded at the two of them, and sat down on the sofa.

Feifei jumped onto the sofa very naturally, its two fluffy paws slapping the table with a "slap slap slap" sound.

Xu Han, with a sycophantic air, stepped forward and said, "What would you like to drink or eat, Fatty? It's on me!"

Fatty reservedly withdrew its paws, licked its paw pads, and meowed several times.

Xu Han looked bewildered and somewhat embarrassed as he glanced at Yu Shijiu.

"Shi Jiu, Fei Fei, what do you want to drink?"
