Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 250 Freebies? How is that possible?

Even if he wanted to join the inspection team himself, Lu Chusheng's behavior at this moment seemed a bit too strange...

Yu Shijiu thought.

Lu Chusheng's hand holding the prop suddenly froze on the spot.

Undeniably, at that moment, Lu Chusheng's mind went completely blank.

For no other reason than that Yu Shijiu's question at this moment was one that he himself could neither explain nor respond to.

I think I'm really paying too much attention to Yu Shijiu... Whether it was seeing Yu Shijiu on the street near the square at the beginning, or seeing Yu Shijiu on the big screen when passing by the square later... or even searching for Yu Shijiu's live stream room countless times, whether actively or "passively"... these behaviors are all too abnormal.

So unusual that even Lu Chusheng himself felt his behavior was too strange.

-

Inside the monitoring room of the inspection team at this moment.

Wang Rui smacked her gum, looked at Lu Chusheng's bewildered expression on the screen, exclaimed "Ouch!" several times, and quickly took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat.

"Brother Lu, that's true. Why are you being so nice to Yu Shijiu? Can you use your investigative skills to tell us?"

"..."

The group chat was quiet.

Wang Rui waited for a long time but no one responded, so she checked the records again in confusion.

"Holy crap! I sent it to the wrong group?!"

She was about to retract her message when she saw a reply appear under the message she had sent.

"Great job, the screenshot is very well done."

Wang Rui: "..."

She looked down with a stiff face, and when she saw the other person's ID, she screamed in frustration a few times.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!! We're doomed, we're doomed, we're doomed!!!"

The ID name is - Doctor.

The doctor who was always whispering and having meetings with Lu Chusheng.

Wang Rui was heartbroken and wanted to retract the message, but she forgot that in the Dawn game, messages cannot be retracted.

Ruined.

Wang Rui thought.

In another room filled with various surgical instruments, the doctor reached down and took off his glasses to wipe them. His brown eyes, which exuded a refined air, gleamed with a hint of a smile under the light.

If Lu Chusheng were to see this message, would he be even a little angry?

Seeing Wang Rui start spamming the chat group, the doctor tapped the screen in front of him and took a screenshot of the picture Wang Rui had just sent.

Okay, you're welcome.

The doctor smiled and put his glasses back on.

----------

"Feel sorry."

Lu Chusheng did not avoid Yu Shijiu's gaze. His hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched for a few seconds and then relaxed.

"I can't explain it either at the moment."

Similarly, Lu Chusheng answered very seriously.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He looked at Lu Chusheng's face but didn't press the matter further. He simply gave a soft "oh" and looked away to ask the next question.

What did you see when you went out?

Yu Shijiu thought of the woman's crying.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chusheng frowned and quickly recounted the scene he had just witnessed.

"She is the 'young master's' stepmother."

Lu Chusheng's voice was very low, echoing faintly in the quiet corridor:

"I saw her body."

As if recalling some extremely terrifying scene, Lu Chusheng's tone became somewhat stiff:

"Although I don't think the visuals are suitable for children, it's still a clue. Would you like to go take a look? It's right there—"

Lu Chusheng turned and pointed to the room at the corner of the corridor, his eyes dark:

"My stepmother's body is in that room."

"Dead? Was it the stepmother?"

Yu Shijiu was surprised to hear this answer. He looked up in astonishment, finding it somewhat absurd.

The stepmother is clearly an important NPC, and considering it's only the first day, he thinks she should have a lot more screen time, like the old people in "Eternal Life Village," who don't start to become strange until at least the later stages...

But now, Lu Chusheng is saying that his stepmother is dead?

And just as his stepmother screamed before she died, something with red-rimmed eyes stood in front of his bedroom door, watching him through the peephole—

That thing... if what Lu Chusheng said is true, then she is also a stepmother.

After all, judging from the voices coming from the doorway, it was a woman.

"Take me to see it."

Yu Shijiu made a decisive decision.

Lu Chusheng nodded without refusing.

Before turning around, he quickly stuffed the prop in his hand into the side pocket of Yu Shijiu's clothes and said coldly:

Don't rush to refuse.

Lu Chusheng said, "In this game, we are teammates, and it is perfectly normal for teammates to exchange some items. There is no need to overthink it."

After saying that, Lu Chusheng ignored what the boy behind him was thinking and walked towards the room with the door open in the corridor not far away.

Behind him, Yu Shijiu took out the two props from his pocket and gently rubbed them.

[Congratulations to the player for receiving the protective items "Egg Pupa" and "Wind Mist" from Lu Chusheng]

Xiao Li, who had been missing for a long time, came online and dutifully began to announce the two items that Yu Shijiu had obtained.

[The "Egg Pupa" can be used three times. When the player is attacked, it can be set to automatically/actively eject a hard white shell (similar in color to a free-range chicken eggshell) to protect the player's head and other parts of the body. Note: Each use lasts only 30 seconds, with a 15-minute interval between uses. Please pay attention to the time after use.]

[The "Wind Spell" can be used ten times. Its main effect is to increase the player's speed by 30% when fleeing or attacking. Note: Each use of "Wind Spell" lasts for 60 seconds, with a 15-minute interval between uses. Please pay attention to the time after use.]

After explaining, Xiao Li looked at Yu Shijiu, who was walking towards Lu Chusheng, and clicked her tongue in disapproval.

[You're really lucky. These two items would cost at least five or six thousand points to buy in town, but you got them for free!]

Yu Shijiu had almost reached the end of the corridor. He looked at Lu Chusheng waiting at the door not far away and chatted casually with Xiao Li in his mind.

"It's not considered free."

"I will return it later."

No wonder so many people want to latch onto Lu Chusheng's coattails. Experienced players have far more ways to survive, even if many of them are one-offs, they still have a much higher chance of survival than novice/ordinary players.

Yu Shijiu isn't stupid.

He cleared three dungeons before getting one item, and he'd already used it once... Lu Chusheng was incredibly generous to give him two items that could be used multiple times.

The other party didn't even seem to be asking me to agree to anything.

Yu Shijiu felt that something was not quite right, but a strange warmth in her heart suppressed it.

The young stepmother's room looks very large.

When Yu Shijiu entered the room, the even stronger smell of blood inside made her head spin even more.
