Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 808 Stay away

After everyone had finished "dividing" all the bread on their plates, Yu Shijiu happily carried his bag, which was twice the size of everyone else's, to his matchbox bed.

On the other side, He Lingling and Chen Yi silently stuffed the bottles filled with clean water into their system backpacks, their eyes filled with complicated emotions as they looked at the bread bag on Yu Shijiu's shoulder.

"Brother Chen..." He Lingling said with some difficulty, "Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu has made so many bread crumbs... that should be enough for us to eat in this game instance, right?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Chen Yi thought of the side effects of An Jie activating her innate ability, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Sister An's abilities... have some significant side effects..."

He Lingling knew something about An Jie's innate skills, and her expression became serious.

Ange's innate skill... is a rare, polluting ability.

This ability is more unpredictable than Yu Shijiu's pure aggression, and it's even a bit unlike what a living person would possess.

But Ange just happened to have activated this innate skill.

On the other side, Anjie and Xu Han also brought back a lot of bread crumbs—overall, they were quick and efficient, and indeed carried much more than the five people from the Eye of All Things.

Fang Youhua silently tied the bag of bread crumbs she had just filled and stuffed it into her system inventory. Qi Wei, standing next to her, spoke up somewhat irritably:

"Sister Fang, they've gone too far! The bread was torn into pieces of such a large size; if we divided it equally, we could each have our fill. They're so greedy—"

"Qi Wei".

Fang Youhua took out her water bottle from her system inventory and interrupted Qi Wei's voice upon hearing this.

“Tell me,” Fang Youhua stared into Qi Wei’s eyes and said, “What is our relationship with them?”

Qi Wei's eyelids twitched, and for a moment he dared not meet Fang Youhua's gaze, only whispering:

"Competition, competitive relationship."

"Aren't you very clear about this?"

Fang Youhua said calmly, "I thought you didn't know."

Qi Wei opened his mouth, somewhat embarrassed, trying to explain something, but Yang Hua, who was carrying a bag, retorted.

"Why talk so much nonsense? You're a grown man and you haven't even gotten as much as I have. Let me make this clear: when there's not enough to eat later, don't take any of my bread. I can only share my bread with Sister Fang."

Qi Wei's face flushed red with anger: "Yang Hua, if you can't speak properly, then don't open your mouth—"

"enough."

Fang Youhua gave him a cold glance, which made Qi Wei's heart skip a beat and he immediately shut his mouth.

"What does it look like?"

Fang Youhua frowned and said, "We are teammates in the same guild, we should help each other, not argue over words. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to get some water?"

"..."

Yang Hua rolled her eyes at the unwilling Qi Wei, then packed up the bread crumbs and went to get her water.

The basins for holding water were enormous, almost like a small lake to the group of ten. How could each of them fill several bottles?

Qi Wei watched Yang Hua's back as he followed Fang Youhua, and gritted his teeth in anger.

Yang Hua is a woman I've held a grudge against ever since, because I once pushed her out of the same instance in a dungeon we were in together.

She's incredibly petty. All I did was push her a little. She wasn't hurt at all, and she still made it through unscathed. Why is she holding onto this for so long? I just can't understand it.

As Gao Zhen was right, women are indeed petty and short-tempered. They hold grudges over the smallest things and constantly give him attitude. They really don't care about the collective interest at all!

Despite his anger, Qi Wei still grabbed his water bottle and quickly followed, not noticing that the gazes of the two male players beside him momentarily hardened and turned cold, but quickly returned to normal after a few seconds.

Live broadcast platform.

Shi Yuan frowned as he watched the players, including the Eye of All Things, arguing on the screen.

How can players in the same guild be so uncoordinated? How can they possibly gather together for a competition? Is the guild leader of Eye of All Things out of his mind?

"Doesn't it seem strange?"

Ruan Qinghe's voice reached Shi Yuan's ears, and at the same time, a strawberry cake was placed in front of her.

"...Thank you, Chairman."

Shi Yuan accepted the strawberry cake and thanked him softly.

"No need to thank me." Ruan Qinghe smiled and handed them spoons, continuing, "Don't you think the relationships between the players in the Eye of All Things look strange?"

"..." Shi Yuan took the spoon and hummed softly, "They seem to have a very bad relationship, and their feelings for each other seem very weak..."

To say that they were weak was actually Shi Yuan trying to put a positive connotation on them. In her opinion, apart from unanimously following Fang Youhua's advice on decision-making, the players in the Eye of All Things were completely incompatible.

"Xiao Yuan, you're so cute. You even used the word 'weak' to cover it up for them?"

Ruan Qinghe took a sip of juice and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the people from the Eye of All Things are just a group of players who are sticking together for warmth. Of course, we need to think about this sticking together for warmth in a more despicable way..."

Shi Yuan's heart sank: "What do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Ruan Qinghe took her spoon, scooped a piece of strawberry cake from Shi Yuan's hand, bit into it, and mumbled indistinctly:

“Just remember one thing,” Ruan Qinghe’s smile paused slightly, “If you encounter players of the Eye of All Things in the game dungeon in the future, try to stay away from them.”

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qinghe added, "Yes, especially men."

Shi Yuan frowned slightly: "Why? I remember that the Eye of All Things has quite a reputation in the town."

"is it?"

Ruan Qinghe smiled, swallowed the sticky sweetness in her throat, and said, "Perhaps the information you gathered was too one-sided."

“Most of the players in the Eye of All Things are ordinary players,” Shi Yuan did not miss the faint sarcasm in Ruan Qinghe’s tone when she said this, and a thought struck him: “Ordinary players should not pose much of a threat, right?”

"Not always."

Ruan Qinghe said calmly, "At least the Black Robe Church people openly admit that they are bad people so that we can all see it, but the people in the Eye of All Things... that's hard to say."

The information contained in Ruan Qinghe's words was enormous. Shi Yuan's mind raced, and he subconsciously followed up with another question:

"President, do you mean that players in the Eye of All Things can kill people?"

"Murder?" Ruan Qinghe smiled, not caring much. "Who can't kill? In Dawn Game, who dares to say they've never killed anyone?"

"Do you dare to say it?"

As Ruan Qinghe spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Shi Yuan, her pupils almost transparent in the light. She asked:

"Xiao Yuan, do you dare say you've never killed anyone?"
