Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 319 Good stuff

"..."

"?"

The old housekeeper stopped in her tracks, slowly turned around, and heard a faint, subtle "crack" sound from her neck.

To me?

The old housekeeper looked somewhat bewildered, but soon smiled slightly.

"What do you want to know?"

Lu Chusheng seemed oblivious to the unusual appearance on her neck, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Um, I wanted to ask if Mr. Xiao's wedding venue is all set up yet? I think I can help out—"

"No need."

The old housekeeper interrupted Lu Chusheng and said with a smile, "You are a guest. You just need to enjoy the wedding meal and offer your best wishes to the gentleman and lady."

"This will make your husband and wife very happy."

"..."

Lu Chusheng looked into the old housekeeper's eyes, then naturally looked away and sighed after two seconds.

"is it?"

"That's such a shame."

Lu Chusheng: "As you know, I was able to go to school thanks to Mr. Xiao's sponsorship, and I really wanted to help in some way, but it seems that it's not possible now."

The old housekeeper's expression remained unchanged; she covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Unnecessary guests".

"Sir, you have already gained the greatest reward by sponsoring you and the other guests."

"nice one?"

Lu Chusheng keenly noticed the loophole in the old housekeeper's words, and he calmly revealed a puzzled and bewildered expression.

"Would an orphan like me get good things?"

"……certainly."

The old housekeeper slowly moved her head back. "Everyone has good things, guest."

"You just might not know it."

After saying this, the old housekeeper didn't linger and quickly disappeared into the corner.

"..."

The living room fell silent once again.

Lu Chusheng remained seated on the sofa, gazing thoughtfully at the corner where the old woman had disappeared.

There's no need for players to help set up the wedding venue... and the villa only has one servant, the butler, who certainly can't handle it all... wait, if those shadowy figures that seem to be at the butler's beck and call can also set up the wedding venue, then it makes sense.

Then the problem is coming.

What exactly is this "good stuff" that the butler is talking about?

"boom!"

A slight knocking sound came from the front door, interrupting Lu Chusheng's thoughts of the "good stuff".

He remained silent for a few seconds, then got up and walked towards the door when there was a third slight knocking sound.

Squeak.

To avoid the old housekeeper hearing the noise, Lu Chusheng opened the door very quietly—and immediately saw two dark figures, their bodies completely black, rush in.

Lu Chusheng was about to make a move when he stopped.

The two people who barged in were He Lingling and Xu Han.

Unlike before they parted last night, the two of them were now covered from head to toe in a layer of black powder that was hard to see, even their faces were covered. Except for their mouths revealing a mouthful of white teeth, they looked like they could blend into the night.

"...Let's talk about it later! Let's talk about it later!"

He Lingling pulled Xu Han and rushed up the stairs. Turning back, she whispered to Lu Chusheng, who was still standing there:

"We'll go back and change our clothes and take a shower first, then we'll come down quickly and tell you what happened—"

"Captain Lu, don't be afraid, we'll be down to be with you soon!"

Xu Han was trembling all over. He opened his mouth to reveal a set of white teeth, and his hurried voice drowned out He Lingling's words.

"..."

He Lingling rolled her eyes, grabbed Xu Han's arm and dragged him upstairs, "Anyway, that's all for now... Captain Lu, thank you for your help."

After saying that, she led Xu Han, who was completely limp, upstairs.

"..."

Lu Chusheng, who was standing downstairs, glanced at the small black patch that started from the front door... or rather, a lot of black powder had fallen off.

It was the black powder that He Lingling and Xu Han had applied to their bodies.

No wonder He Lingling said "I'm sorry to trouble you" before she left.

She asked Lu Chusheng to help clean up the black powder on the ground.

Lu Chusheng silently looked at the large mop placed on the other side of the door.

Although he didn't quite understand why the mop wasn't kept in the storage room in such a large villa... Lu Chusheng was still very grateful that he had a tool to clean up the black powder.

Otherwise, you'll have to use points to buy it.

Although He Lingling and the other person will definitely transfer the money to me later, it's best to avoid buying this kind of useless and wasteful exchange if possible.

Lu Chusheng, who had just finished mopping the floor clean, put the mop back in its place when he heard footsteps coming from not far behind him.

It's a bit heavy, and a bit rushed.

It was the old housekeeper.

Lu Chusheng quickly withdrew his hand and walked back to the sofa to sit down with a natural expression.

"Did the guest just go to open the door?"

The elderly housekeeper, carrying a cup of strong tea, swept her cold gaze across the doorway repeatedly before asking a question.

I glanced at the fog outside.

Lu Chusheng nodded naturally, "It feels a bit chilly today. I was wondering if 'Madam' will feel cold wearing her wedding dress."

"..."

The old housekeeper's expression suddenly became dazed, as if she had thought of something. Her cloudy, yellowish eyes darted around rapidly for a while before stopping.

Lu Chusheng did not miss this point.

He noted down the changes in the old housekeeper's expression, then stood up to take the strong tea from the tray she was carrying.

"...Sorry, I was daydreaming just now."

The old housekeeper snapped out of her daze, dodged Lu Chusheng's outstretched hand, and slowly bent down to place the strong tea on the table in front of him.

"It is indeed a bit cold."

The elderly housekeeper whispered, "Thanks to you, I'll go upstairs now to remind the new 'madam' to keep warm."

After speaking, the old housekeeper bowed slightly to Lu Chusheng, and under Lu Chusheng's slightly surprised gaze, turned and walked towards the second floor.

Lu Chusheng behind him: "..."

He thought of A-Yuan in the room, who was clearly so scared that he even wrapped himself up like a tube when he slept, and a slight feeling of embarrassment rose in his heart.

Sending the old housekeeper to him, I wonder if she can avoid showing any signs of fear.

For now, A Yuan can be considered the safest player in this game instance.

No one will kill him.

Mr. Xiao wouldn't know either, nor would the old housekeeper... and the young lady and young master probably wouldn't either.

It's just that the other party hasn't grasped this point yet—but that's not necessarily true. Perhaps A-Yuan has already realized it?

Lu Chusheng watched the old housekeeper walk away and sat back down on the sofa. He bent down and picked up the strong tea on the table.

As the bittersweet aroma of the tea burst in his mouth, Lu Chusheng's chaotic mind seemed to calm down considerably.

I can't think about Yu Shijiu anymore.

Lu Chusheng closed his eyes, concealing the darkness in them.

Pay close attention to the plot.

--------

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

Shortly after the old housekeeper went up to the second floor, a player's terrified screams echoed from one of the rooms.
