Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 653 Veterinarian?

Xu Han was stunned: "You mean... you mean... they're under pressure and won't bother with the waiters..."

"more or less."

Yu Shijiu: "It can't be certain, but if all the crew members are not having an easy time, then the probability is as high as 99%."

"..." Xu Han's eyelids twitched at what he was being told, and he whispered, "What's the remaining one percent for?"

Does it serve a very simple supporting role?

Yu Shijiu reached out to push the hatch, and chuckled softly upon hearing this:

"It's meant to let us fantasize that someone might be willing to help them."

Xu Han: "..."

Lu Chusheng's tail remained motionless, staring at Yu Shijiu's profile in the darkness, speechless for a long time.

Click.

When the bottom hatch was pushed open completely, the sound of the torrential rain splashing down outside entered the ears of the two people and the cat without any obstruction.

"I rely on."

Xu Han stared in astonishment at the raindrops that were pouring down on the deck in formations almost the size of eggs, unable to believe it.

"Such heavy rain?! What are Angkor and the others worried about?!"

Before they went down to the lower deck, the rain was light—no, not light at all, just normal.

But the rain at that time was definitely not heavy enough to make the ship turn back.

"...The temperature seems to have gotten colder too."

Yu Shijiu's arms were covered in goosebumps. He squinted at the dense downpour outside the lower deck and pursed his lips slightly.

"Yeah," Xu Han belatedly rubbed the goosebumps that had also appeared on his arms, and said, shrinking back.

"How are we going to get across in this heavy rain?"

"fine."

Yu Shijiu didn't care about the size of the rain. He squinted at some sea fish jumping around the edge of the deck, and a thought struck him.

Before leaving, Angkor said that these fish could be used as "food"...

The NPCs on that ship shouldn't be short of food... Does that mean that Angkor and his group's suggestion to persuade them to turn back tomorrow has been rejected?

Or perhaps... they have nowhere else to go.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu straightened up and walked out, holding onto the bottom hatch. The cold rain instantly soaked his clothes, and a chilling coldness began to seep through his skin.

"I'm going... wait for me, wait for me, let's go together!"

Seeing that Yu Shijiu was almost completely soaked by the rain, Xu Han quickly crawled out of the lower deck and chased after him.

Lu Chusheng doesn't really like water right now; he was the first one to run to the side of the cabin... like a cat.

When Yu Shijiu ran over, she caught Lu Chusheng shaking off the water. She was soaked and stood there for a few seconds.

"oops."

Yu Shijiu shook his head with a smile, shook off his soaking wet clothes, looked at the drenched cat frozen in place, and chuckled:

"Can you spin it dry, Fatty?"

"...Meow."

—Not at the moment.

Lu Chusheng looked up at Yu Shijiu, feeling a little annoyed by the smile in her eyes, and then lowered his head to lick the wet hair on his arm.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I can't stand this heavy rain!!!"

Xu Han muttered a complaint under his breath as he ran over. Completely soaked, he sighed with a headache, then pulled two bath towels from his system inventory—

"Here."

Xu Han casually tossed one of the sheets to Yu Shijiu, "Quickly wipe it off, if we sleep in this wet all night, we'll both have high fevers tomorrow morning."

"Brother Han, you even brought a bath towel?"

Yu Shijiu took the bath towel with delight and wrapped it around his entire body, his voice muffled:

"Bravo."

“…Ahem.” Xu Han turned his face away from the praise and said in a low voice, “Come on, I’m not as good as you say.”

I only brought a few bath towels... nothing really useful.

Thinking about how he had actually taken out the night vision goggles—Xu Han felt incredibly stupid.

"Very powerful ah."

Yu Shijiu didn't seem to notice at all. He rubbed his wet hair and said:

"If we didn't have bath towels, we might both catch a cold."

The use of the word "嘞" was quite ingenious, and Xu Han immediately burst out laughing, saying with a smile:

"Alright, alright, Shi Jiu, you're getting sweeter and sweeter with your words, hehe. It's true that spending time with me makes you become like me. Isn't that great? Your words are so pleasant to hear..."

Yu Shijiu didn't speak this time. He smiled and dried his hair halfway, looking at the torrential rain outside and the occasional lightning flashes in the clouds, his heart pounding.

—A torrential downpour, lightning, all that's missing is a loud clap of thunder, and the final climax of the plot is probably about to begin.

Pat-ta-ta-ta-ta-

The sound of rain splashing on the deck grew louder and louder. Yu Shijiu lazily yawned, pulled off the bath towel on his body and threw it onto "Fatty," who was licking his fur while propping himself up on his arms.

Lu Chusheng, who was busy licking his fur, suddenly felt dizzy: "?"

"Let me help you."

The boy's warm breath wafted over Lu Chusheng, and he felt his head and body being gently rubbed by a pair of hands.

"Fatty, your fur is so thick, it must be hard to dry..."

Yu Shijiu: "Cats get sick too, you can't risk your life. There are no veterinarians in town—hey Han-ge, are there any veterinarians in town?"

"what?"

Xu Han, busy wiping the rain off himself, looked up blankly:

"I don't know. There are plenty of doctors who can save people, but I don't know about veterinarians. I only know that there's a player in the inspection team with the code name 'Doctor.' He looks quite decent and likes to wear a white coat all the time. I wonder if he can treat animals?"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

The doctor, who looked perfectly respectable in front of the screen: "..."

The doctor's handsome face was expressionless. He raised his hand, adjusted his glasses with his knuckles, and smiled.

"doctor?"

Lin Feng, standing nearby, felt a little awkward. "Should I go outside—"

"Need not."

The doctor gently shook his head. "We still need to check on Lai Bao's condition. It's best if he doesn't leave for now."

"what?"

Lin Feng was a little confused: "Why do we need to see Bao—oh no, Fei Fei?"

"Fatty..."

The doctor chuckled softly, "Feifei is a good name. No wonder Yu Shijiu likes to call it that."

Lin Feng: "...Um, speaking of which, we were just talking about the points competition, right?"

"A points-based system?"

The doctor looked enlightened, took off his glasses apologetically, wiped them with a tissue, and said sheepishly:

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Lin Feng: "..."

She looked at the doctor hesitantly, the question swirling in her throat before she swallowed it back.

Never mind... I guess Xu Han's comment about "looking respectable" probably provoked the doctor. As a doctor in the inspection team who is "highly skilled and of high moral character"... it seems that the doctor has a heavy idol image to maintain?
