Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 220 Sunset

After two consecutive days of overcast skies, the town finally had a day with fairly good weather.

Yu Shijiu squinted at the golden-red sunset outside the window, excitedly planning to take Feifei out for a walk—and maybe snag some snacks from Anjie and the others.

Three days have passed since the last time I invited Xu Han and He Lingling to dinner.

For the next three days, Yu Shijiu refused the boxed meals that the players in the monitoring team kept bringing him. On the first day, the players hesitated, but after Lu Chusheng said something to them, no one brought him meals anymore on the second day.

On the second day, Yu Shijiu spent the whole day in her room eating snacks and instant noodles with Feifei while watching live streams. On the third day, she started learning to go out and buy some groceries to cook.

Well, in the end, Yu Shijiu and Feifei ate all the unpalatable dishes with their eyes closed.

After all, I've used so many points... I can't let them go to waste.

The price was that Yu Shijiu had an upset stomach all day.

Fatty does have a little bit of discomfort, but since it's an animal enhanced by the game, it's not that serious, even though it's a bit uncomfortable.

Yu Shijiu was already somewhat weak.

Her face, which she had finally managed to gain some weight from, seemed to have thinned out after this meal; her complexion was pale, and she looked like she had been poisoned.

Fatty: "..."

It hesitated and meowed several times.

In fact, it suspected that Yu Shijiu was "poisoned".

But seeing the smile on the other person's face when they saw the sunset, Fatty swallowed his meow.

It looks fine so far, so it should be okay.

After excitedly putting on his shoes, Yu Shijiu waved to the chubby guy lying on the sofa behind the door and called out:

"Quick, quick! Let's go out and see the sunset!"

He's never gone for a walk under such a beautiful sunset before!

Feifei jumped off the sofa listlessly and slowly walked towards Yu Shijiu with cat-like steps.

As soon as the door opened, the crimson sunset outside instantly filled the eyes of the boy and the orange cat.

A person and a cat stood in front of a beautiful, detached little house, their eyes filled with the vibrant, golden-red sunset.

"so beautiful……"

Yu Shijiu stared intently at the colors in the sky, unconsciously wanting to reach out and touch them.

In the sanatorium, he seemed to have seen the sky filled with such red clouds countless times, yet he was trapped in that small ward and could not be free.

I could only look at the sky through the narrow window, watching the red clouds gradually disappear under the cover of night.

"Meow meow meow!!"

It's obvious that Fatty also really likes the sunset at this moment.

It looked up at the sky, meowing excitedly.

When she was with Lu Chusheng, he always seemed to have endless things to do, and he would not come back to rest until late at night. On most good days, Feifei would be the only one lazily lying on the windowsill looking at the sky.

The weather in Dawn Game strictly follows the real-world weather; it can be cold or hot, and there will be spring, autumn, winter, and summer... Even the grass around the "Chrysalis Shop" will change little by little with the weather.

The only difference is the players' identities in the Dawn game.

"Let's go for a walk."

After admiring the beautiful sunset, Yu Shijiu lowered his head, first reaching out to pat his chubby head, and then slowly walked towards the nearby residential area.

His spot was in a corner, and he usually looked quiet and peaceful, but in the park not far away, there were many players who also chose to take a walk and get some fresh air in the evening.

It's very much like a corner of real life.

Yu Shijiu strolled leisurely along the roadside, his cat beside him, his heart filled with the freedom he had longed for.

For a fleeting moment, he felt that the Dawn game was far, far better than reality—

"Damn it! His heart is bleeding uncontrollably!!"

On the park track not far away, several players covered in blood suddenly appeared on the ground. They surrounded a player who looked seriously injured, with blood and tears streaming down their faces, like a red sunset being washed away by rain.

"What do we do?! He should still be breathing, why isn't the recovery serum working?!"

"Damn it, you have to live, Liu Qi! Don't forget your mother is still waiting for you in reality!!!"

"..."

Countless cries came from the group of players, drifting into Yu Shijiu's ears on the evening breeze.

He stood still, watching the players pour recovery potions into the mouth of the player whose body was already beginning to fall apart, blinking blankly.

"Would that kind of situation also occur in towns?"

Yu Shijiu muttered to himself.

"Will do."

A cold voice came from behind, interrupting Yu Shijiu's words.

He turned around in surprise and met the gaze of the tall man.

Lu Chusheng smiled slightly and bowed his head to greet the boy in front of him, who had obviously gained a lot of weight.

"Do you remember me? I'm Lu Chusheng."

Yu Shijiu looked at him, her gaze flickering strangely over the other man's height and the obvious bulging muscles on his body before finally looking away.

"I remember, Lu Chusheng, the captain of the inspection team."

"Meow!"

Feifei was very excited to see its other owner after a long time. It quickly ran up to Lu Chusheng and rubbed against his calf, even trying to raise its front paws to let him hug it.

Under the watchful gaze of the streetlights and the sunset, Lu Chusheng habitually lifted the chubby front paws, exerted a little force with his arm, and picked up the big orange cat with one hand.

"Lai Bao, you've gained weight."

Lu Chusheng patted the big orange cat's chubby back and sighed.

The big orange cat in the inspection team eats more and better food, but it has never gained any extra fat. Now, it has only been with Yu Shijiu for a few days, and it is already showing signs of getting fat.

"It's Fatty."

Yu Shijiu thought the name Laibao was too awful. He walked over unhappily and took the chubby baby back from Lu Chusheng's arms. Yu Shijiu's 1.7-meter height looked incredibly thin in the baby's "infinitely" elongated body.

"Fatty is its real name."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He looked down at the serious-faced boy opposite him and felt an urge to laugh for some reason.

"It's called Feifei to you, but to me it's called Laibao."

Lu Chusheng deliberately teased Yu Shijiu, whose face was serious at the moment.

It's quite interesting. Not long ago, the other party was all smiles and cheerful, but now they're all serious.

“But it’s mine.” Yu Shijiu was a little unhappy with Lu Chusheng’s words. He hugged Feifei and rubbed against it, glaring at Lu Chusheng amidst the other’s meowing.

Perhaps it was because it was getting dark, or perhaps their memories were playing tricks on them, but both Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu seemed to experience a moment of blurred vision.

It seemed to be on such an evening that a person whose face was obscured gradually appeared before me.
