Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 371 First Place Reward

Once they were far away, Lin Feng couldn't help but look back.

From a distance, Lu Chusheng was still standing by the door, not going in, seemingly talking to the doctor at the entrance—

Noticing Lu Chusheng turn his head, Lin Feng suddenly turned around and quickly walked away into the distance.

Lin Feng slowed down after the gaze behind him disappeared.

What exactly happened...?

Lin Feng felt uneasy... as if something was about to happen.

Lin Feng: "..."

She was startled by her own thoughts and quickly shook her head to clear them from her mind.

Forget it.

Lin Feng thought.

Even if she finds out something really bad, it won't do her any good.

let it go.

Lin Feng stretched her arms, relaxed, and left.

----------

"..."

After Lin Feng left, the doctor smiled and gestured for Lu Chusheng to proceed.

Why are you still standing at the door?

"Brother Lu, just come in."

As he spoke, the doctor simply stepped aside and walked to the refrigerator, opening the door without a care in the world.

Lu Chusheng went inside and closed the door.

"What would you like to drink, Brother Lu?"

The doctor got himself a bottle of coffee-flavored beverage and asked Lu Chusheng.

"no need."

Lu Chusheng walked to the sofa and sat down. The memories spinning rapidly in his brain and some hazy memories mixed together, causing his brain to ache in waves.

"Then let me make you some tea, Brother Lu."

The doctor ignored Lu Chusheng's words, unscrewed the cap on his drink, took a sip, and walked to the dining table.

There were teawares on the dining table; he usually liked these things and was quite good at brewing tea.

"You know why I'm here to ask."

The clear yellow tea was poured into the teacup, and tea foam splashed out little by little, dripping onto the polished tabletop.

"uh-huh."

The doctor responded and sat down in front of Lu Chusheng with the freshly brewed tea.

He pushed the brewed tea towards Lu Chusheng, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his glasses.

"I thought it would be later."

The doctor sighed: "Your memory returned too early, Brother Lu."

"..."

Lu Chusheng stared at the cup of tea on the table. The clear, yellow tea reflected his face, which was barely visible. The irritation between his brows was almost uncontrollable.

"You hypnotized me?"

Lu Chusheng asked with certainty.

"Yes."

The doctor nodded in agreement very naturally, his gentle and handsome face showing distinct lines under the light.

He met Lu Chusheng's gaze, his eyes filled with an indescribable pity and helplessness.

“To be precise,” the doctor sighed, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"It was you, Brother Lu, who asked me to hypnotize you."

----------

After seeing Yu Shijiu off, Chen Yi and the others busied themselves cleaning up the dining table, and then Xu Han quietly took a pile of bowls to the kitchen to wash them.

It had been almost an hour since he finished cleaning up. Xu Han was so tired (although no one knew why he was so tired) that he went straight into the bathroom to take a shower and go to sleep.

Anjie and the other two were left unable to sleep.

He Lingling was in a fairly good state at the moment. She sat on the sofa rubbing her eyes, feeling that her eyes were still a little sore and itchy. The feeling of being out of control and shedding blood and tears in the game dungeon seemed to still be faintly present.

"...Next time, aren't Sister An and Brother Chen planning to join us for the game?"

He Lingling asked with her eyes closed.

Anjie didn't hesitate, "I won't be joining the game with you guys for now, but Chen Yi is fine with it."

Chen Yi wiped his hands, sat on the sofa with a smile, and nodded.

"I've already discussed it with Sister An, and I'll go with you guys next time the game instance starts."

"That's great."

Although He Lingling was somewhat disappointed that An Jie didn't enter the game, she was still relatively at ease because she estimated that Chen Yi's talent and skills were not weak.

"Xu Han and I have very limited talents and skills."

He Lingling sighed as she spoke. She thought of the memory of herself and Xu Han hiding under the bed in the previous game instance, and her teeth ached.

"Shi Jiu is also more impulsive and aggressive. Although they complement each other, she is also a bit easy to break through."

He Lingling quickly said, "If we plan to participate in the guild points competition, we will have to practice in the next few game instances."

Yu Shijiu, being an offensive character, can be temporarily disregarded, but she and Xu Han, both weak support characters... are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

In short, their numbers are too small.

If there were more players, players like her and Xu Han, who can heal and provide healing, would definitely have a greater impact. Of course, their subsequent side effects would also be prolonged indefinitely in the game's dungeons.

"Don't worry about that."

Anjie peeled an orange and popped it into her mouth; her tanned skin shimmered with a glassy beauty under the light.

"Chen Yi's talent and skills can perfectly compensate for our disadvantage of having a small number of people."

"In the next game instance, Chen Yi will first work with you to practice your skills."

"What about you, Sister An?"

He Lingling opened her eyes. Her large, lifeless black eyes, like those of a large-diameter contact lens, were somewhat deep and revealed a chilling light that was terrifying.

"I'll choose a game instance to play with you guys when the time is right."

Anjie did not directly respond to He Lingling's question; she put the last two segments of orange into her mouth.

"Don't worry, I should log into the game now."

She chuckled and said in a mocking tone, "After all, the rent for this little villa is quite expensive. Even with more points, it wouldn't be enough to keep spending them like this, would it?"

He Lingling looked at her, then closed her eyes and rubbed the area around her eyes.

"alright."

He Lingling said, "Then Brother Chen will join us in the next game instance?"

"Ah."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm just as good."

He Lingling was amused: "I know."

After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn, blinking her teary eyes.

"I'm going to sleep now, I feel like I haven't been getting enough sleep these past few days."

"Go to sleep."

Anjie nodded to her, "There are probably still a few days until the next game, don't worry, get some rest."

He Lingling nodded wearily, yawned, and got up to walk into her bedroom.

The smile on Chen Yi's face slowly faded only after the sound of the door being locked from the inside was heard.

He turned his head to look at Anjie, and hesitated for a moment.

"Sister An, the first-place prize in this year's guild points competition—"

"it's useless."

Anjie interrupted him and took out another orange from the fruit plate in front of her and began to peel it.

The pale yellow juice of the orange splashed onto my fingers, carrying a faint sweet and sour taste.

“Just get some points, that thing,” Anjie’s voice turned cold, “try not to use it if you can avoid it.”

----------

"Me? Asking for it?"

Lu Chusheng stared blankly at the doctor, his breath catching in his throat as the doctor nodded.

How can it be--

"Brother Lu, what was your condition back then?" The doctor lowered his eyelids, seemingly recalling the scene, and his tone became somewhat low.

“If we don’t hypnotize you to forget those memories, Brother Lu, your mental state is very likely to collapse.”
