NPC Lives Don't Matter, Ziwei Star Enters the Mad King Building

When Xu Ming came out of Chen Mu's room, he still had that aggrieved and helpless expression on his lips, but when he reached the corner of the corridor, his expression disappeared and he put on a face without any emotion.

He went through Chen Mu's three conditions in his mind, but didn't take any of them to heart.

Whether there are conditions or not doesn't matter.

Whether Chen Mu sets ten conditions or a hundred conditions, once he goes to the Mad King Building, he won't be able to come back.

What's there to consider regarding the conditions of a dead person?

Xu Ming agreed so readily inside the house not because he thought the conditions were reasonable, but because he had no intention of fulfilling them at all.

Anyway, we don't actually have to do it.

Not long after, he sent the three conditions back to the Skyreach Dormitory, adding, "I agree to all the conditions he proposed; you can draw up the rules yourselves."

He felt no pressure at all about killing off a slightly valuable NPC.

Half an hour later, Chen Mu and Xu Ming headed to the Mad King Building.

Standing at the boundary between the two buildings, Chen Mu glanced at the main building of the Mad King Building from afar.

He had visited the Ancestral Hall of the Extreme Yang Hall, the Nine-Tiered Palace of the Xuanwu Dynasty, and several mountain gates of the Seventy-Two Divine Sects, all renowned for their towering height, but none of them could compare to the building before him.

Titan Building also contains many exquisite and magnificent buildings, but only the Titan Building Tower can visually overshadow Mad King Building.

The main building of the Mad King Building rose from the ground and plunged into the gray-black-red fog layer, making it impossible to see the top. Ordinary people had to crane their necks to the limit to barely see the middle section of the building, and beyond that, all they could see was a cloud of fog. It was unknown whether this fog had any special function.

What's truly astonishing is that the surface of the Mad King Building is covered with ever-changing text—words of praise written in a blood-red language by countless races. Even the world's most skilled poets, adept at praising beauty, could not have written such saccharine words; they truly pushed the limits of human praise.

"Stop looking, let's go inside and talk," Xu Ming urged from the side.

Chen Mu withdrew his gaze and followed Xu Ming across the boundary line.

Two rows of guards stood at the edge of the boundary. As Chen Mu passed by, a group of players greeted the guards and then led Chen Mu and Xu Ming deeper into the area.

The floor of the Mad King Building's safe zone is quite different from the old campus concrete floor. Although it's not as specially constructed as the Titan Building's floor, it's still significantly different from ordinary floors.

The ground had a dark, heavy texture. When Chen Mu stepped on it, he felt a very slight vibration under his feet, as if he were stepping on the back of a sleeping giant beast. At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Could all of this be blood?" Suddenly, Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced down and thought it might be, but it didn't quite seem so. If it were truly congealed blood, it should have a distinctive smell.

He sniffed the air and felt a cold, pungent, and murky smell in it, which made him frown.

A crow flew overhead, glancing down at the crowd as it passed by; it was unclear which pet the crow belonged to.

"It's not blood." The player who had led the way turned around and smiled. "After each major battle, the Mad King Building automatically cleans up the corpses and stuff, but we don't know what this stuff is; it just forms naturally."

The player who led the way was Zhou Yuan, a tall, thin man in his thirties, wearing the gray-blue work clothes of the Mad King Building, with a bronze badge pinned to his left chest, bearing the mark of the Residents' Committee.

Four other players followed behind him, all dressed in the same gray-blue overalls, with short sticks tucked into their waistbands.

"Ahem, this shows that your Dormitory Building has great potential. If the Mad King Building comes with a special floor, especially one that covers the entire Safe Zone, then its value far surpasses some so-called top-tier Dormitory Building," Xu Ming said with a smile.

He genuinely believed that Mad King Building and Titan Building were collaborating.

In fact, most Titan Building Player think this way.

Winter is coming, and you still want to pull hair clips? Isn't that a bit crazy?

Zhou Yuan flashed a smile at Xu Ming, revealing a set of white teeth, and then turned to Chen Mu Chen Mu, saying, "Brother Zhou Yuan Xu Ming and Elder Chen, this is your first time here. I'll take you along the main path so you can familiarize yourselves with the landmarks. Although the Mad King Building isn't as big as the Titan Building, there are still quite a few interesting places to see."

That sounds just like what a tour guide would say.

The group continued walking.

After walking for a while, the main street split into two. At the fork in the road, there was a bronze sign with road signs indicating the areas for martial arts exchange, living, and administration.

To be honest, it really does look like a community.

As you venture deeper into the Mad King's Building safe zone, the styles on both sides of the main road begin to become more diverse. To the left of the street, there is an open area with five dark red iron towers standing in the center. The towers rise more than ten meters from the ground, their surfaces blackened by the high temperature, and white smoke rises from their tops.

The five towers are arranged in a pentagonal shape, connected by thick copper pipes. The surface of the copper pipes is wrapped with heat-insulating cloth strips, the edges of which are scorched and curled.

These copper pipes are external equipment added by the Residents' Committee's construction professionals; they can increase the power of the Flame Demon Tower.

"The Flame Demon Tower." Zhou Yuan gestured with his chin towards that area. "Never get too close under normal circumstances, or you might harbor ill intentions and be identified as an enemy unit by the Flame Demon Tower. When a meteor strikes, you won't even have time to dodge."

The Flame Demon Tower is currently open, its base is red, and it radiates high temperatures.

As Chen Mu passed by, he felt his face burning; the heat wave rushed in from the direction of the tower base, distorting the surrounding air.

After walking a while longer, the heat wave hadn't completely dissipated, and the air was filled with a smell of rust and coal ash mixed together.

Chen Mu looked up and saw a blast furnace, its top glowing with a dark red light, surrounded by a group of players shouting and yelling.

"The Crazy Soldier Demon Furnace is very interesting. You can throw any equipment that needs strengthening in here, and it might even level up to level thirteen," Zhou Yuan explained patiently.

Xu Ming smiled and echoed with two sentences.

Chen Mu glanced at the blast furnace and remained silent.

For some reason, after entering this place, he had a bad feeling.
