Simulation in Progress, the Ziwei Star's True Identity

On the battlefield engulfed in flames, nearly half of the dormitories in Titan Building were destroyed and looked like they were about to collapse.

A man of ordinary appearance yet possessing the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, with an aura as radiant as the sun and the heavens, slowly rose. Behind him was a vast expanse of purple light, like a boundless ocean, within which a purple sun rose and fell. The purple light shone for countless miles, and wherever it reached, shadows receded and eeriness avoided its sharp edge!

The thousands of the Demon Army below, illuminated by this light, felt incredibly weak. Although not fatal, it was far more terrifying than direct combat, because they could not defend against it.

Suddenly, the man raised one hand high, as if lifting the purple sun, and then flung it into the Heaven's Gate!

That's incredibly fierce!

At the critical moment, Demon Emperor Lü Qing burst out from the Heaven's Gate, his dragon claws pushing up the purple sun, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

He was wounded, clearly a veteran of many battles.

He's no longer on the battlefield; he must have gone back to recuperate.

"Titan Building can injure Demon Emperor Lü Qing..."

Xu Lang immediately understood.

On the battlefield, Titan Building unleashed its full firepower, while Mad King Building remained as steady as a rock, not firing a single shot!

The Demon Emperor withstood the man's attack, suggesting they were on the same level.

"The rivalry is obvious; their storylines are designed for a clash of titans!"

"There's always a reason why such an important NPC gets trapped in Dormitory Survival Game."

"Demon Emperor Lü Qing enjoys extremely high prestige among the Demon Race and loves his people like his own children. He didn't go to the battlefield at first, probably out of consideration for the overall situation and to act cautiously..."

"So what is the reason that those with the Purple Tenuity Star Fate Pattern are trapped?"

"He's very likely an NPC who appeared early on, but he's been quietly developing his power, just like those Astral Fate Pattern whose combat strength keeps increasing!"

Just as Xu Lang was frantically deducing and reviewing the situation, the high and mighty Ziwei Star did not press his advantage and unleash a powerful attack on Demon Emperor Lü Qing. Instead, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a certain place in the sky.

Then, he raised his palm and clenched it!

Snap~

Xu Lang has disappeared from sight!

The Eye of Heaven was crushed by Ziwei Star!

"Damn it!"

Now that it was Simulation dream, Xu Lang wasn't scared at all and left the Demon King Castle in one step.

"Xu Lang!"

Wang Yazhi and the others were shocked.

"You dare to come see me after imprisoning me?" Ziwei Star raised an eyebrow and her eyes turned cold as she looked at Xu Lang who appeared before her.

He was surrounded by purple light, and his kingly aura was like rivers and lakes, pressing down on Xu Lang in waves.

Xu Lang didn't hesitate; he decided to fight back with his sword.

On the other side, the purple sun had already been extinguished by Lü Qing's power. He looked at the two people who had suddenly started fighting, somewhat bewildered.

After watching for about ten seconds, he joined the battle, helping Xu Lang attack the Ziwei Star.

On the Titan Building side, thousands of turrets fired wildly, with some powerful turrets targeting the three-person battlefield before quickly ceasing fire.

"Xu Lang, you fucking stop!"

"Damn it, Xu Lang gone mad?!"

"Get lost! I think your Mad King Building really wants to be razed to the ground!"

The Mad King Building Player was spitting blood.

Xu Lang is attacking his own people, and they can't even attack him because Xu Lang's an ally!

Attacking allies will result in penalties in the Dormitory Survival Game!

In just those brief ten seconds, Xu Lang has already extorted tens of millions of Copper Coin!

The minute was up quickly, and the Simulation dream ended.

"We can't beat them."

These three words were on Xu Lang's mind.

Ever since I became stronger individually than the dorm's firepower, I've become increasingly reckless, and this mentality is unacceptable.

Just a minute ago, my Li-Ning jeans almost came ripped open, and my underwear was nearly torn off by Ziwei Star.

Enemies of this strength are not just strong in terms of mechanics.

For example, if Ziwei Star were a thief-type character, the tombstones in Grave Pasture could be stolen, not to mention dual-attribute and special-attribute characters.

While not as exaggerated Bartholomew, Ziwei Star still possesses high-level mechanisms, though its characteristics lean towards suppression and strong attacks.

I want it even more!

Xu Lang is now not only envious of that basket of Star Constellation warriors, but also of the power of the Ziwei Star itself.

Emperor Ziwei, you're just an NPC, but I, the dignified Building Lord the Mad King Building, can't be one?

After leaving the Simulation dream, Xu Lang quickly drew a sketch and then sent it out.

Not long after, the information about the subject of this sketch was presented.

--NPC, Chen Mu, male, a person from the Xuanwu Dynasty, is a Martial Dao Grandmaster who is only 27 years old. He joined the Seven Absolutes Sect at the age of seven and later joined the Longevity Manor. He has been transferred to many sects throughout his life and finally entered the Extreme Yang Hall, which ranks seventh among the Seventy-Two Divine Sects. His current identity is the youngest inner sect elder of the Extreme Yang Hall.

Judging from his resume alone, he's just a slightly outstanding NPC, but he can't compare to top stars like Pei Yizhi.

However, who could believe that this person actually possessed the Purple Tenuity Star Fate Pattern?

"Why didn't this person come as an exchange student?" Xu Lang asked Shirley.

Shirley is now in charge of the exchange student program.

"I don't know either." Shirley shook her head.

Xu Lang frowned. The biggest problem now was that Star Dormitory knew Chen Mu's true identity, making it almost impossible to forcibly demand Chen Mu.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Lang tapped his fingers on the armrest, lost in thought.

It's unrealistic to directly contact Star Dormitory to demand Chen Mu now; the intentions would be too obvious.

We need to figure out a way to set this up.

Moreover, this game should ideally be tested through Simulation dream scenario.

With such a large initial investment and sunk costs that even Xu Lang was feeling the pinch, this final hurdle was one he absolutely couldn't afford to cut back on.

However, in order to conserve the essence of dreams, he should try to Simulation the dream as few times as possible.

"Shirley, I want this person, but I don't want the Star Dormitory to find out. Do you have any good ideas?" Xu Lang asked the person next to him as usual.

Shirley didn't answer immediately, but stared at Chen Mu's information on the table, deep in thought.

"Let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee this method will work." She looked up at Xu Lang and said, "But it's more reliable than directly asking Star Dormitory for people."

She suddenly realized that this person might be extremely important to Xu Lang.

"You say," Xu Lang said casually.

At the same time, he was also thinking of a solution.

If Shirley doesn't have a good solution, he'll have to go back and ask the Black-robed Evil Monk. That old man has a lot of clever ideas, but his only drawback is that he's not a player and lacks firsthand experience.

"Chen Mu is an inner sect elder of the Extreme Yang Hall, and information about him isn't hard to find. We can directly ask him why Chen Mu didn't come and find out the reason."

"Of course, we can't ask those questions; we should let the players who are going to learn the martial arts of the Extreme Yang Hall ask them."

"The best approach would be to adopt a confrontational stance, putting pressure on the Star Dormitory."

"Moreover, things might not be as serious as we think; his absence could very well be due to a very simple reason."

Since we don't want to be too obvious, the plan must be multi-step. The first step is to figure out why Chen Mu isn't coming.

"Didn't any of us want to learn the martial arts of the Extreme Yang Hall back then? Why didn't we specifically name him?" Xu Lang asked.

"Um... Chen Mu's level is higher, while on our side, the high-level players are all more cunning..." Shirley replied.

She's in charge of NPC exchanges and knows the reasons best.

"Is this some kind of causal passive effect caused by the Ziwei Star, or is it some kind of trickery from the Dormitory Survival Game?"

Xu Lang didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

As I said before, the probability of coincidences occurring in high-level mystical realms is extremely low.

Time was of the essence. Demon King Castle was currently cooperating with Star Dormitory, and doing something like this afterward would be too abrupt. Xu Lang felt that Shirley's method was fine, so he let her carry it out. At the same time, he went to the Grave Pasture to summon the Black-robed Evil Monk.
