Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 208 Can a dead person still have a stomachache?

Thinking that he might die one day, Xu Han said with a bitter face:

"So, Shi Jiu, in the game, we should try to play it safe as much as possible. If we can't play it safe, we should at least find a few reliable teammates to help us recover from our exhaustion..."

"..."

After explaining for a while, Xu Han's throat became dry. He tilted his head back and took a big gulp of orange juice, which relieved the burning sensation in his throat.

"Shi Jiu?"

Yu Shijiu was still thinking about activating her talent skill when she heard this. She hummed in response and looked up blankly.

Xu Han: "..."

He realized that Yu Shijiu probably hadn't listened to the last few words he said.

"Forget it," Xu Han instantly gave up, tilted his head back and gulped down another mouthful of juice, looking as if no one understood his dejection.

You don't understand me.

Yu Shijiu: "...Huh?"

He admitted that he was truly bewildered this time.

It's just that Yu Shijiu has been confined to the sanatorium for too long. If he had a mobile phone in real life to watch videos or browse the internet, he would know what Xu Han's current disjointed and incoherent state is all about.

The internet is collectively referred to as "abstraction".

But Yu Shijiu didn't know, so he could only blink and repeat the word in a daze.

"what?"

Xu Han: "...It's nothing."

He sat up straight, wiped his face, and said dejectedly, "Let's just enjoy the live stream, eat spicy snacks, and enjoy life."

Upon hearing the mention of spicy strips, Yu Shijiu instantly shook the empty bag of spicy strips in his hand and said:

"The spicy strips are gone."

Xu Han immediately lowered his head: "You finished it all in such a short time?"

He remembers there were quite a few spicy snacks in the cabinet, right?

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu's eyes widened, and she looked somewhat aggrieved: "Just this one bag!"

He only ate one bag!

Xu Han scratched his head, got up, walked to the cabinet, pulled it, and a large bag of spicy strips rolled out.

Oh, I just grabbed a bag of spicy strips with my bare hands.

Xu Han bent down and picked up several bags of spicy strips, then waved the bags in his hand generously.

"Lots of spicy snacks today!"

Yu Shijiu was exceptionally supportive: "Thank you! You're so generous!"

He took a look when he had a moment. A bag of spicy strips costs seven or eight points, and it's not exactly a filling food, so it's not on most players' menus.

Upon hearing "thank you," Xu Han instantly became elated.

He turned around again and grabbed several more bags of spicy strips, strutting around as he said:

"Eat, eat, eat!"

----------

Inside the kitchen outside the door.

After finishing the last dish, Chen Yi tilted his head and wiped his sweat on a towel, then called out to An Jie, who was busy plating outside the door.

"Sister An, it's time to eat. Call Xiaohan and Shijiu out for dinner."

Anjie quickly arranged the chairs, responded, and then turned to knock on Xu Han's door.

dong dong dong-

The knocking had barely stopped when the sound of slippers walking behind the door could be heard.

creak-

The door opened, and Xu Han poked his head out and blinked:

"Sister An, what's wrong?"

The strong smell of spicy snacks hit Anjie so much that she instinctively covered her nose.

Anjie frowned, stared at Xu Han's head, and suddenly pushed open the door forcefully.

Xu Han, who was behind the door, let out a strange cry as he was squeezed and quickly retreated.

After the door was pushed open, the incredibly fragrant aroma of spicy snack flavoring made Anjie's temples throb a few times.

She hissed and raised her hand—

Then he saw Yu Shijiu on the sofa, tilting her head and looking at him.

Anjie: "..."

She lowered her hand, and the corners of her mouth, which had been drooping, slowly curved into a subtle upward arc, and even her tone became much gentler.

"It's time to eat. Shi Jiu, are you hungry?"

Yu Shijiu, who was biting into the last spicy strip, nodded subconsciously, then bit the entire strip off the packaging, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Yu Shijiu mumbled, "Mmm, I'm hungry."

Anjie was initially furious, but seeing Yu Shijiu still biting into spicy strips made her anger subside by half.

To be honest, the way Yu Shijiu eats is a stark contrast to his brutal and powerful demeanor in the game.

…So cute.

"The food is ready. Go and eat if you're hungry."

Anjie said with a smile.

Xu Han, who was standing next to her, instinctively tried to walk forward, but An Jie grabbed his arm and kept him in place.

"Wait a minute."

Anjie glanced at him sideways, her gaze suddenly turning cold.

Xu Han: "...???"

No, what does this mean? Is it discriminatory treatment?!

Yu Shijiu didn't notice the tension between An Jie and Xu Han as they stared at each other. He happily dusted off imaginary dust and headed towards the door.

"Aren't you going with Xiaohan, sister?"

Yu Shijiu, who was passing by the door, tilted his head in surprise.

“We’ll be quick,” Ange said with a smile, “we need to take care of the trash.”

Xu Han, who was standing next to him, shuddered.

Rubbish?

What garbage?

Is it the garbage bag or... myself, the garbage?!

Yu Shijiu didn't think much of it. He smelled the aroma of food outside and felt even hungrier.

No matter how many snacks you eat, they can't compare to a full meal.

Seeing Yu Shijiu being cheerfully invited to sit down by Chen Yi, Xu Han swallowed hard and whispered:

"Sister An? Um, I'm hungry too?"

"hungry?"

Ange's expression remained gentle; she smiled and said:

"How about you pick up all the trash bags on the ground and eat them?"

Xu Han: "..."

He screamed in shock, "I don't want to eat that—"

"Shut up."

Anjie covered his mouth with her hand, the muscles in her arm bulging tightly from the sudden exertion, revealing an exceptionally terrifying strength.

"Hurry up and clean the room and come out to eat, otherwise..."

An Jie's expression remained unchanged: "Starting tomorrow, you can forget about eating anything."

Xu Han: "...I understand."

Anjie turned to leave, but heard Xu Han muttering behind her.

"...It's not like I ate the most, why should I be the one cleaning... That's so unfair..."

Ange, after hearing all that, was speechless.

She took a deep breath and pretended not to hear what they said.

Are spicy strips a good thing?! How could spicy strips be a good thing for someone who is chronically malnourished and emaciated?!

Anjie is now hoping that Yu Shijiu's stomach is okay, and that he won't get an upset stomach when he gets home tonight because he ate too many spicy snacks.

But then again, these players aren't really "living people" in the strictest sense, so would it be okay for them to eat a lot of spicy snacks?

At the dinner table, Chen Yi handed Yu Shijiu the dipping sauce for dumplings, smiling broadly as he said:

"Does Shi Jiu prefer steamed dumplings or boiled dumplings?"

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment, "Dumplings."

The dumplings my mother used to make were all boiled dumplings.

"Okay, I'll serve you a bowl."

As Chen Yi spoke, he turned and went into the kitchen to start serving dumplings. His hands and feet were so quick and efficient that he didn't look like a fat man who weighed nearly 300 pounds at all.

When he placed a large bowl of dumplings in front of Yu Shijiu, Xu Han and An Jie, who had hurriedly finished cleaning, also took their seats.

The former immediately raised his hand when he saw the dumplings in front of Yu Shijiu:

"Brother Chen! Give me a bowl of steamed dumplings!"
