Pei Yizhi: You've Taken My Skills. What About My Talent?
The head of the Titan Building Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the Holy Angel, who is also a prominent figure in the Holy Angel Skyreach Dormitory. Therefore, Kui Zi is quite familiar with the Skyreach Dormitory.
This time, Sky Titan invited Xu Lang, and she came along, while everyone else was left outside.
The two were led to a side hall on the west side of the clubhouse, which resembled a VIP room. After entering, the Sky Titan gradually shrank in size, eventually becoming a three- or four-meter-tall, relatively "normal" long-haired man.
The furnishings here are very simple: a stone table, a few stone chairs, and a map of the Mist Zone hanging on the wall, marking the locations of the various legion's watchtowers.
Sky Titan stood at the far end of the side hall, facing the map and with his back to the door. His tall figure looked like a forgotten ancient monument in the cold light.
After the waiter who had led the way left, Sky Titan, Xu Lang, Kui Zi remained in the side hall.
Sky Titan turned around, walked to the stone table, placed his arms on the tabletop, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Building Lord, please sit."
Xu Lang glanced at the stone chair and the house, then pulled out the chair and sat down, raising his chin slightly to look at the Sky Titan.
At close range, and he was there in his true form, the Nightmare Eye's effect was terrifyingly strong.
Information about the Sky Titan was being rapidly unearthed, like a treasure trove where every dig yielded Gold Coin.
"Building Lord, I won't beat around the bush." Sky Titan straightened up, arms crossed. "I agree to NPC swapping, but as you know, I have a lot of NPCs here, so I'd like to swap even more NPCs at once. I wonder if you agree?"
"No," Xu Lang shook his head, adopting a businesslike tone. "That would offend the other Titans, and the losses wouldn't outweigh the gains."
"Ha! Could it be that Building Lord really wants to improve relations with the Titans? Don't spout such childish nonsense here." A hint of disdain flashed in the Sky Titan's eyes, and he continued, "You seem quite interested in the Star Titan, and this visit was rather sudden. Proposing an NPC exchange seems like a symbol of peace talks, but isn't that your real purpose?"
"Is that really the purpose?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.
"You want the NPCs in the Star Dormitory!" Sky Titan's words were astonishing.
However, Xu Lang remained calm and composed.
Sky Titan was quite surprised. Unless Xu Lang was willing to use his skill capacity to learn performance skills, he should have shown some abnormality now that Titan had exposed his thoughts.
Could I have guessed wrong?
Sky Titan was starting to doubt himself. If it were anyone else, he would have had many ways to verify the authenticity of the statement, and he wouldn't even need to see Xu Lang in person to carry it out.
However... those methods were completely ineffective against Xu Lang.
This man refused all probing, like a big question mark.
Xu Lang looked calmly into the eyes of the Sky Titan, then suddenly chuckled softly.
He confirmed things in reality that he couldn't confirm in the Simulation dream.
Sky Titan knows absolutely nothing about those born under the Purple Tenuity Star Fate Pattern.
"Hmph~ There's no need for that. Our two families haven't had any unpleasantness before, I can give you this much face." Xu Lang waved his hand. "Speak, what do you want?"
Am I being made a clown to haggle over?
Sky Titan's lips twitched.
Does this man really enjoy being in a position of power?
However, it doesn't seem to do any harm to myself.
"I want a spot on the Earth Passage!" Sky Titan said in a deep voice.
"Why now? You can go later when the passage is fully open." Xu Lang frowned, not understanding why the Sky Titan wanted to go to Earth now, nor did he want to use the Nightmare Eye's computing power to investigate such a matter.
Through the Sky Titan, he discovered many secrets within the Titan Building Titan Building, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its hidden strengths and war potential.
The moment the enemy looks directly into the Nightmare Lord's eyes, their chances of winning are already being lowered.
"I'm afraid Titan Building won't survive this ordeal. I want to go back and check on it," Sky Titan said after a moment of silence.
"Aren't you afraid I'll set a trap for you?" Xu Lang asked.
"Heh." A chill ran through Sky Titan's teeth. "Unless you're a fool, you wouldn't actually do that. The reason the Hundred Beasts haven't attacked you is because they want you to deliver a fatal blow to the Demon Army at a crucial moment."
Ultimately, no matter how fierce the conflict between Titan Building and Mad King Building was, it could only rank second, and the two sides didn't actually have any deep-seated hatred for each other.
Xu Lang unleashed Blood Hatred, killing those players who hadn't made it back to their dorms... the players who died in the Titan Building's assault on the Mad King Building... the Angel Building players who perished in the Agent War...
These are all human lives.
However, at the level of Sky Titan, these dead people are really not that important.
Sometimes, those in positions of power appear cold and ruthless, not because they lack humanity, but because they live in a larger world, and things that ordinary people consider incredibly important are naturally diluted.
When surrounded by the starry sky, every blade of grass and every tree seems incredibly small.
"Okay, I promise you. Just let me know when you're coming," Xu Lang said with a smile.
The space in Skyreach Dormitory's dormitory is too large for Sky Titan to simply leave. Even though he desperately wants to go to Earth, he still needs some time to clean up the mess.
Outside the side hall, Holy Angel waited at the corner of the corridor.
Seeing Xu Lang and Kui Zi come out, the Holy Angel quickly came to greet them. Today, she was not wearing the standard coat of the Sky Legion, but had changed into a gray-blue civil servant's uniform. She had a Sky Legion insignia pinned to her left breast and was holding a folder in her hand. She looked capable and orderly.
She glanced at Kui Zi first, then her gaze fell on Xu Lang.
"Lord Building Lord," the Holy Angel said matter-of-factly, "The Sky Titan has asked me to wait outside. They said that after you come out, they'll ask if you'd be willing to go to the flank defense line tomorrow morning to discuss the follow-up joint defense plan."
A docking plan? This is like trying to get to Earth!
Sky Titan is really impatient.
Xu Lang didn't take it to heart, his gaze fixed indifferently on the Holy Angel.
Kui Zi had said in private that the Holy Angel was not easy to deal with, as she was very tactful and even with the help of AI, she couldn't gain the upper hand.
"Okay, what time exactly?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning." The Holy Angel opened the file in his hand, pulled out a piece of paper with coordinates written on it, and handed it to him. "The location is the third section of the flank defense line, near the temporary command post of the Sky Legion. Someone will pick you up when you arrive."
Xu Lang took the note, glanced at it, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
The Holy Angel closed the file, took a half step back, and nodded slightly. "Then I won't disturb you two any longer. See you tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM)."
After saying that, she turned and left, her steps neither fast nor slow, her red-soled high heels clicking on the alloy floor.
Kui Zi watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor before whispering, "She seemed a little nervous today."
"But I think it's not good for the Sky Titan to have too much contact with us." Xu Lang shrugged and walked out along the corridor.
Kui Zi nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Lang walked out of the side door of the clubhouse and saw Cao Yaxuan and the others. He smiled and said, "Let's go."
The black Vortex Gate opened.
Before leaving, Xu Lang pressed the hilt of his sword, revealing a small section of the red blade.
Immediately afterwards, in the audience, a drooling dog-headed player was severed in two, his body and soul severed together!
Given Xu Lang's killing power, without Mythic- level resurrection item to save him, this dog-headed player would undoubtedly die.
This dog-headed player, whose body was mostly half-beast, seemed to be not very bright. He stared at Cao Yaxuan and the others, drooling constantly, which was disgusting.
The death of an elite player is usually a trivial matter, but it has caused quite a stir.
Because Xu Lang killed this person!
Kill one hundred enemies, lose ten thousand of your own!
In this Dormitory Survival Game, human life is also clearly priced. Xu Lang, the dignified acting Building Lord of the Mad King Building, couldn't possibly pay with his own life, so he was only fined a huge sum of money.
Although this huge sum of money was nothing to Xu Lang, it still surprised everyone.
This Mad King Building's Building Lord is too ruthless!
Xu Lang's actions immediately changed the way the Titan Building's intelligence department portrayed him; his ruthlessness increased, while his caution decreased.
The intelligence department at Titan Building generally believes that Xu Lang is a player who prefers to play defensively, and that there must be some kind of development item or mini-world in his dormitory that prevents him from going out.
Of course, this is only information provided by part of the intelligence team. Most people still believe that Xu Lang is a top player who is brutal, lecherous, arrogant, cautious, and has the aura of a king, making him perfectly suited to be the ruler of the Mad King Building.
This man is a natural at Dormitory Survival Game.
For top players of Dormitory Survival Game, staying at home is never a fatal flaw. The dormitory itself is an ecosystem that players can explore in many ways, especially for those who only have one dormitory at level nine or above.
After returning to the Mad King Building, Xu Lang went directly to the conference room, accompanied by Mary and other administrative leaders, as well as the red-clad palace maid from the Great Yin Empress.
The palace maid in red, whose given name is Xia, is in charge of communication between NPCs and the Mad King Building when the Great Yin Empress is not around.
The Demon Army could attack the building again at any time, and the list of NPCs going to Titan Building needs to be compiled as soon as possible.
It's worth mentioning that the Holy Angel also came along.
With her present, we can avoid being swapped with NPCs of the same martial arts style, thus preventing the duplication of martial arts techniques.
Nowadays, NPCs don't really have much say in front of players.
The live streams from the three Overlord Tower stopped yesterday, signifying the end of the three major battle zones. Under absolute military control, those who secretly coveted the Dormitory Survival Game have all withdrawn their claws.
However, even without the live stream footage of the three major Overlord Tower, the NPCs still couldn't stand up to the players.
The battle between the Demon Army and Titan Building is equally mind-blowing...
Um!
I'm just a pure-hearted martial artist; I should skip going to the battlefield and stick to cultivating at home.
The NPCs' comprehension doubled, and they all wished they could split themselves in two and cultivate together.
Before long, the exchange list was completed, and Sky Titan and Mad King Building officially began exchanging NPCs.
Surprisingly, Xu Lang was present throughout the entire event. The NPCs from Titan Building who came over were initially unconvinced and resentful, but after seeing Xu Lang, they all fell silent and obediently began to teach him martial arts.
To be honest, teaching martial arts is actually a time-consuming process.
First, high-level martial arts require an NPC to accept the player into a sect or faction as a prerequisite.
Second, only NPCs in the Grand Wuxia World can trigger the teaching system.
Third, teaching takes time.
Considering the three key conditions above, although there are many NPCs in the two buildings, not every player has access to unparalleled martial arts techniques to learn.
Therefore, NPCs in the Grand Wuxia World are actually a long-term resource, rather than something that can be squeezed dry in one go.
Some people can't learn it right now, but they can learn it later.
For some people, their skill set is not currently compatible, and learning new skills would only be a hindrance.
Players also need to be screened.
A good pot deserves good food. Fearing that these exchanges might cause some unforeseen problems, the Mad King Residents' Committee had them write down a secret manual, which was then stored in Xu Lang's treasure vault. Immediately afterward, they recruited players to come and learn the skills.
Only after no one else wanted to learn was this group of NPCs released.
The exchange students at Mad King Building were in a similar situation.
At this very moment, Titan Building, Pei Yizhi, with a dark expression, helped those players trigger the teaching system, feeling like he had been turned into a beast of burden.
How long has it been since I last worked?
Xu Lang is truly a terrible person!
Damn it!
The workload at Titan Building is incomparable to that at Mad King Building. The former has many advanced players, and even though its martial arts are extremely difficult to learn, many people still come to learn from it.
Watching these monstrous players instantly learn his skills, Pei Yizhi felt utterly hopeless.
They've completely given up.
"You took the skills, but what about the talents?"
In order not to suffer any losses, Xu Lang made a request after using up all the NPCs in Titan Building: either continue to change NPCs, or Titan Building should send in new NPCs.
The Skyreach Dormitory decided to bring in new NPCs and then return some of the unwanted ones.
Unfortunately, Pei Yizhi was very useful.
There's no way around it; his Legendary martial arts are impossible for others to learn, but his mid-to-low-level martial arts are all top-notch and incredibly lethal.
This is perfect for gamers!
Hidden wounds? No return?
Go talk to my healing and survival items!
People kept coming to visit Pei Yizhi; even Blade Legion had connections to come, and eventually, everyone from the Blade Dormitory came.
Where can I go to seek justice?
From day to night, Pei Yizhi felt completely drained.
"Beast! Beast! Beast!"
Later on, Pei Yizhi simply gave up and refused to teach any more martial arts.
Left with no other option, the people in Skyreach Dormitory had to go and negotiate with the people in Demon King Castle.
Less than ten minutes later, Pei Yizhi received a message.
--His own daughter consumed some kind of mutated Vermilion Fruit, which increased her lifespan by a hundred years and allowed her to break through the bottleneck in martial arts, directly entering the realm of Grandmaster!
If you calculate the age difference, my daughter is even more impressive than I was at her age!
Who exactly invented this Dormitory Survival Game? It's something we both love and hate!
Pei Yizhi instantly felt no pain in his waist or legs. He activated all the acupoints in his body with his True Essence energy, forcibly gathered his qi, and continued working. Teaching martial arts was very taxing on the spirit, because high-level martial arts involved the mental realm.
Just as cattle and horses buy coffee when they're tired, so too do martial artists.
