The Weather Warmed, and Countless Speculators Went Bust
While Xu Lang and his group of five were taking stock of their supplies, the other players had already finished killing all the monsters.
Some people reaped great rewards, obtaining blueprints and equipment; some were less lucky, their gates were breached, but they survived; and some were already dead.
And for some, life is worse than death!
In Dormitory 77, Zhou Daha was expressionless, his face deathly pale.
Damn it, I'd rather be dead than alive!
The coffee table next to it was overturned, and the thermometer was smashed.
"Brother Ha, what do we do?" the bald tenant asked tremblingly.
"It's just a technical correction." Zhou Daha pushed up his glasses and walked stiffly out of the dormitory.
He went downstairs.
We didn't take the stairs or the elevator.
Some people on the Fourth Floor were puzzled when they saw Zhou Daha hanging down the wall.
You haven't even finished collecting your loot in front of your door, why are you leaving already?
Some people shook their heads, ignored them, and chatted happily with their companions.
"Haha, as long as we can survive the Polar Night, we can survive another round of the game!"
"Thanks to the brothers upstairs for their help, but while I'm happy to help, you've already automatically picked up the Copper Coin, so why don't you just leave the equipment?"
"Zhang Jie is dead! Quick, go check his room for any good stuff!"
"Brothers, get ready to go raid some buildings. Today's the last day, let's try to find a level 5 piece of equipment."
"Wait, was that Zhou Daha who just went down?"
"Yeah, Crazy Face Bro, what's wrong?"
"Damn it, chase him with me and kill him!"
"Xiao Bing, what do you think is the meaning of life?" On the third-floor corridor, Wang Ao leaned on the railing with both hands, his expression desolate, a stark contrast to the joyful expressions of the other players.
Wang Ao's tenant hesitated, then said, "Brother Wang, don't be sad. Money lost can be regained. Everyone has their own talents!"
It hasn't been long, but Wang Ao is like a completely different person; his bold words still seem to echo in my ears.
"Stop what? The peak isn't until the seventh day!"
"You wouldn't believe the thrill of selling at the top!"
"I want to start from scratch and become a pro gamer!"
Xiao Bing wanted to laugh, but dared not.
Gamblers deserve a terrible end.
"I'm fine, just a little sleepy. I'll go back and rest for a bit."
"Okay... Hey, Brother Wang, why did you collapse? Even if you're tired, don't sleep by the door!"
The last wave of monsters was quite numerous, and the drop rate was high. After counting, Xu Lang and the others found that they had earned a total of 100,000 Copper Coin, not to mention the level 2 and 3 equipment, which were piled up almost like a small mountain.
"Wow~ I didn't realize how much there was until I counted it!" Cao Yaxuan in surprise.
"As long as we can withstand the monsters' frenzy, the benefits will be enormous." Wang Yazhi's eyes flashed as she analyzed the situation from a strategic perspective. "With a large wave of monsters and a 30% drop rate, almost everyone in our Dormitory Building will have equipment to wear, making us definitely stronger than other Dormitory Building at the same time."
"That makes sense." Xu Lang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the low-level equipment. He pondered, "If there's too much low-level equipment, the price will drop. Eventually, we'll only be able to dismantle it for raw materials."
Cao Yaxuan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, let's get rid of it quickly!"
Xu Lang sold the wolf pelts ahead of time, preventing them from becoming a burden, which solidified her belief that selling pelts would always bring profits.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Xu Lang looked at Tong Qi: "Tong Qi, I'm leaving the selling of these items to you. A lower price is fine."
"Okay," Tong Qi replied.
The monsters were all dead by 6:00 AM today, and the second wave of monsters probably won't come either, giving players plenty of time to clear the buildings.
With the weather warming up, almost all players went out to explore buildings.
Xu Lang still didn't go out.
Even though it was the last day, the quality of the supplies improved significantly.
Who knows if the Dormitory Broadcast will mess with everyone's mentality again, or if some unexpected event will occur.
During the game, your own dormitory is the safest place.
At the edge of the Blood Mist, dozens of frost fortresses stood, looking quite peculiar.
"Our king is dead." An old man emerged from the crimson fortress at the very center, gazing up at the sky, his aged eyes gleaming with wisdom.
He held an iron hammer in his hand, his body was also red, and his face was very old.
A group of elite Frost Ghost gathered around, all staring at the old man.
With the Frost Ghost King dead, the mission of leading the Frost Ghost has automatically passed to him.
Just then, a group of players rushed over.
"Uncle Wen was right, there really are remnants of the Frost Ghost here!"
"This must be their lair. There must be good stuff inside. I saw Marauding Frost Ghost!"
"Kill!"
The players have become quite assertive, and they've even taken the initiative to engage in open-world battles.
The result was not as expected; they were quickly driven back.
Li Shuwen, who was supposed to endorse them, did not appear.
Old Frost Ghost, his face grim, turned and returned to the Crimson Fortress.
The moment he opened the tent flap, a long spear suddenly shot out and pierced his chest!
A blood-stained spearhead emerged from behind him!
Bang!
With a flick of his wrist, Li Shuwen unleashed a burst of energy that shattered Old Frost Ghost's internal organs.
Then, Li Shuwen quickly stepped forward, picked up the agate necklace from Lao Frost Ghost's neck, and suddenly a smile of excitement appeared on his face.
Success!
"He killed the Grand Elder!"
A group of Frost Ghost Soldier charged forward. Seeing this, Li Shuwen quickly grabbed the fallen items and turned to run.
Back at the Red Fortress, he saw Zhang Dahai peeking out of the tunnel entrance and shouted in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
Zhang Dahai quickly pulled his head back.
Li Shuwen held his breath and tiptoed into the tunnel, wary of Zhang Dahai trying to trick him.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
"Uncle Wen, how did you do that? How come the monster didn't notice you? Are you a wanderer too?" Zhang Dahai asked after walking a distance ahead.
"Here you go." Li Shuwen took a jade pendant off his neck and tossed it to Zhang Dahai.
However, Zhang Dahai did not reach out to take it; instead, he stepped back a distance.
Seeing the jade pendant lying unharmed on the ground, Zhang Dahai chuckled and picked it up.
"You should be able to survive in this game for a long time." Li Shuwen gave Zhang Dahai a deep look.
"Hehe, you flatter me, Uncle Wen." Zhang Dahai checked the information on the jade pendant and found that it was a jade pendant that could conceal one's aura for a short time, but it had run out of uses.
He didn't mind at all and happily put it into his backpack.
After that, he didn't ask any more questions and just kept walking ahead.
Seeing this, Li Shuwen secretly raised his rating for Zhang Dahai.
In the Dormitory Survival Game, there is no right or wrong, good or evil, only life or death.
He was genuinely afraid that Zhang Dahai would come and ask him why he had tricked others, or inquire about matters related to the Sequence.
Time flew by, and the Polar Night was fast approaching.
"Luckily, I had a backup plan." Zhou Daha stood up from the grass by the boulder on the shore of Rust Lake Park and casually removed the invisibility talisman from his body.
This failed heavy investment was all Xu Lang's fault; he killed monsters too quickly.
But their survival afterwards also depended on Xu Lang.
"I can't go home now. I'll hide in the lake for a while. The Polar Night monsters shouldn't come down into the water specifically to kill me..."
"I hope Xu Lang kills the Polar Night monster quickly, so the game ends sooner and I can change dorms!"
"However, veteran players here say there's no option to change dorms at the end of the game."
"What a stupid Dormitory Building. I hope this game won't be like that too?"
Zhou Daha stopped thinking about it, took a deep breath, and dived into the lake.
Before long, bubbles began to rise from the lake, as if something was floating up...
Just then, the Polar Night descended, shrouding everything in darkness.
