Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 320 The New Wife

"..."

Almost at the same time as the screams, the sound of doors opening came from all the players' tightly closed doors.

Many players, filled with fear, peeked out from behind the door, only to make eye contact with the elderly housekeeper who was walking upstairs to knock on the door of room number eight.

The players who opened the door: "..."

They instinctively wanted to close the door, but then abruptly stopped themselves from backing away.

"Butler, butler..."

"..."

Surprisingly, the old housekeeper seemed somewhat surprised as well. She bowed slightly to the players who were peeking out, then asked in confusion:

"Why are all of you awake so early today?"

Before the other players could say anything, the old housekeeper exclaimed with a guilty look, and whispered:

"Didn't any of you have a full dinner last night?"

Other players: "..."

They exchanged a silent glance and nodded simultaneously.

"...Actually, it's okay, I'm just a little bit, a little bit not full..."

"Yes, yes, actually I was full at the time, but I have a big appetite, so it felt like I wasn't full."

"..."

Players aren't stupid. If an NPC gives them a way out, they'll definitely take it... but that doesn't mean they'll take advantage of it and start arguing with the NPC.

They weren't actually starving.

"...I'm so sorry."

The old housekeeper looked extremely guilty, then sighed and said:

"I'll have the kitchen prepare a more substantial breakfast today... but for lunch, you guests will probably have to eat something a bit less substantial."

The old housekeeper hesitated as she spoke.

Realizing that another plot point was about to unfold, the players' eyes lit up instantly, and they all hurriedly asked questions while pretending to be puzzled.

"why?"

"What important matter is taking place at the villa at noon?"

"..."

The elderly housekeeper lowered her eyes slightly and smiled as she answered each player's question.

"It's important."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard about it last night, didn't you?"

"My husband is about to marry his new 'wife,' and the wedding banquet will begin tonight at 11:30 PM."

"..."

All the players paused, staring at the elderly butler standing in the center of the corridor, bowing and smiling. For the first time, they sensed a chill emanating from her.

"It starts at 11:30... Is that the time for the wedding banquet... or is it after all the wedding ceremonies have finished..."

“My husband also said,” the old housekeeper continued, “that…”

"Originally, he planned to contact his relatives and friends, but time was too tight, so he decided not to invite any of them and just have the guests pretend to be the husband and 'new wife's' family members."

“…This,” one player swallowed hard and whispered, “Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? If Mr. Xiao’s family doesn’t come to his wedding, won’t it be too lonely—hmm!”

The player who was speaking was suddenly twisted hard on the arm by another player behind him, and the pain made him instantly speechless but he dared not cry out.

Are you kidding? The butler's still in the hallway! If he called the butler, he would definitely come! He's not stupid!

"……idiot!"

The female player behind him gritted her teeth and spat softly.

The player whose arm was being twisted but who didn't dare to scream: "..."

He was instantly annoyed and was about to turn around when the female player behind him whispered something quickly.

"Did you say that just now because you wanted to encounter more strange things at the wedding banquet tonight?"

"..."

The male player fell silent.

He belatedly realized that his words might have unimaginable consequences, and instantly shrank back, not even daring to meet the old housekeeper's eyes.

Some quick-thinking players at the other room doors also realized this, glancing angrily at the male player who was cowering in, silently gritting their teeth and suppressing their anger.

Damn it, you idiot! Don't you know how to use your brain when you talk?!

"Hehe," fortunately, the old housekeeper shook her head, seemingly oblivious to the undercurrents among the players before her, and chuckled:

"No, no, I'm just an employee. Of course, I'll do whatever the boss says. I'll just listen and get my wages. It's the boss's decision, and I have no right to try to persuade him."

"……Yeah yeah."

The male player stared at the cold gazes fixed on him, inwardly groaning but having no choice but to bite the bullet and respond to the old housekeeper.

"Let's just listen to what Mr. Xiao has to say."

"..."

The chat passed quickly, and the old housekeeper went to room number eight again to knock on the door.

dong dong dong-

When the knocking sounded, the players at the door realized once again that the old housekeeper had come looking for the "bride"—

So who is the "bride"?

Room number eight contained only Lu Chusheng and another male player who always liked to hide... It was almost a foregone conclusion who the "bride" would be.

"Not necessarily..."

Someone hissed, "A good person like Lu Chusheng might actually step in to save someone, right?"

This statement actually sounds somewhat sarcastic at this point.

This also shows that not every player in Dawn Games "respects" Lu Chusheng.

creak-

It was the sound of another door opening.

"What are you barking at?"

The sudden, clear, youthful voice made the male player's face freeze.

He subconsciously frowned and looked to the side, meeting a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes that were somewhat dark but round and bright.

At the door of bedroom number six, the boy, who had just changed his clothes and opened the door, looked a little pale. He smiled and looked at the male player who was about to say something, and repeated a sentence.

"I—said—"

Yu Shijiu deliberately drew out his words, "What are you barking like a dog?"

Male player: "..."

He instantly flew into a rage: "You—"

Before he could utter any insults, his teammates behind him desperately covered his mouth.

"...Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking..."

The teammate, sweating profusely, whispered in the male player's ear:

"That's Yu Shijiu, that's the madman who killed the BOSS in the trial game!"

"..."

The male player instantly calmed down as if he had been doused with cold water, licked his lips in a panic, and dared not look up again.

He was a player of rather average skill, and his sarcastic remarks to Lu Chusheng were out of jealousy—because he knew that even if Lu Chusheng heard his words, the latter wouldn't care.

But Yu Shijiu, Yu Shijiu is different—

Yu Shijiu walked out of the room. He didn't look at the old housekeeper knocking on the other side, but walked step by step toward the male player who was looking down and dared not look at him.

The male player who saw him approach: "..."

His heart skipped a beat.
