Bulk Water Sales, Monopoly Status!

Three hours later, all threats on the ten floors had been eliminated, and no new zombies appeared.

Meanwhile, only 101 living people remained in the entire dormitory building.

With an impressive score of 87 points, Wang Ao stood firmly at the top of the leaderboard.

Judging by the design of this leaderboard, the survival game encouraged everyone to go out and risk their lives.

The dawn of the fifth day pierced through the blood mist and spread over the dormitory building.

In the corridor carpeted with mangled corpses, some blood was fresh while some had dried up. Bathed in the crimson sunlight, it looked strangely brilliant.

"I'll definitely be the one who survives to the end!"

Wang Yang pushed open his dorm door, his eyes bloodshot.

He had been injured last night as well. If he had not killed a special zombie in time, he would have died too.

All the "bosses" shared Wang Yang's determination to win, dragging their battered bodies out of their dorm rooms.

These "big brothers" had to guard the resource points early in the morning, lest someone steal from them.

Those resource points capable of spawning good items had already been tacitly claimed as their territory.

If they were not worried about danger, they would have slept right at the resource points.

Whenever Xu Lang had nothing to do, he sat cross-legged and meditated.

It cleared his thoughts and kept his mind sharp.

Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi woke up one after another. Seeing that only one hundred people remained in the chatroom, they found it horrifying.

Surviving the zombie attacks did not mean everyone was safe. Some people would still die from their injuries and illnesses.

Besides, players could also fight among themselves.

Just imagine it—if Zhou Tao were lying at home right now, seriously injured, would Xu Lang want to kill him?

Of course he would!

"Xu Lang, open the door!!!"

"What happened to you last night? Why didn't you come out?"

"Open up! Xu Lang, why has your door been upgraded? Is this a Level 3 door?"

"Xu Lang, I want to become your tenant!"

Early that morning, Room 200 was surrounded by people again.

Aside from the local residents of the tenth floor, some players had specifically come to the tenth floor hoping to switch dorms.

The moment they arrived, they saw Xu Lang's distinctive door.

"Xu Lang, what do we do?" Tong Qi was a little scared. The knocking outside was growing louder and louder.

Xu Lang shook his head. "Ignore them. Even when the Giant Strength Zombie rammed the door yesterday, its durability didn't drop."

Cao Yaxuan had already grown used to it. She seemed completely oblivious to the knocking outside as she continued scrolling through the chatroom records.

This young lady was not completely foolish. She knew to gather intelligence whenever she could.

Just then, Xu Lang received a private message.

[44 Wang Ao: Brother, I heard your door was upgraded. How did you do it?]

Wang Ao had switched dorms and was still the room owner.

In the survival game, a room owner needed the key to another room in order to switch dorms.

As the leader of a group, Wang Ao probably had no trouble changing dorms.

Xu Lang did not reply to Wang Ao's message.

He did not know how to respond, nor was there any need to.

Wang Ao did not press the matter either.

He felt that Xu Lang was somewhat dangerous. He still had to guard the resource point and had no time to provoke a new enemy.

Thus, Xu Lang simply ignored them until drowsiness hit.

The players outside soon left as well.

They had been busy all night and were exhausted in both body and mind. Their energy levels were nowhere near Xu Lang's.

Xu Lang stretched, wrapped an arm around Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi, and fell into a deep sleep.

The reason he could rest so easily was because the players had discovered something over the past few days.

Tenants had to ask the room owner's permission before they could open the door.

That was quite user-friendly.

Otherwise, if the landlord ever went out and the tenants joined forces with outsiders to loot the room, that would be quite the spectacle.

To put it bluntly, tenants were parasites of the landlord, much like knights and lords.

[1 day 14 hours 30 minutes remaining until the game ends]

Xu Lang woke up after exactly another eight hours.

Even his biological clock had gotten used to it.

[Base Nightmare Coins: 40. Conversion Rate: 196%. Total output over eight hours: 118 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 264]

"There's only one day left in the survival game. I'll upgrade the Nightmare Bed after it ends." Xu Lang thought to himself.

The premise of lying low and developing was being able to lie low in the first place. He couldn't wait until he had spent all his Nightmare Coins, only for the survival game to pull something big on its final day and take him down with it. That would be more trouble than it was worth.

His current life was quite comfortable.

Based on the previous pattern, night would not fall until twelve o'clock, which meant Xu Lang still had two and a half hours of leisure time.

He was not idle during those two and a half hours.

First, he ate and drank to keep up his strength, then briefly browsed the chatroom.

That process took half an hour.

After that, he began his grand shopping spree!

Based on the experience he had gathered last night, he could almost confirm that his dormitory door was invincible!

With such flawless protection, it did not matter if he revealed a little of his wealth.

After several days of fluctuations, the trading network had gradually stabilized.

At present, players were most in need of four types of supplies: dormitory door upgrade blueprints, iron, medicine, and water.

Xu Lang had none of the first three, but he had more than enough water!

Canned beef, buy!

French bread, buy!

Instant noodles, buy!

Sausages, buy!

Empty paper cups, buy!

Clean girls' school uniforms, buy!

Toothpaste, buy!

Buy, buy, buy...

Nearly half the water in Xu Lang's bucket was gone, replaced by piles of supplies stacked in the corner of his dormitory.

Then, he posted a trade listing on the trading network.

[Seller: Xu Lang]

[Item: 1 liter of water]

[Price: 500 copper coins / 5 units]

[Quantity: 5 units]

[Additional Information: Already asleep. Don't DM me. Buy directly if you want it.]

The price of 500 copper coins was set after Xu Lang's observations. As long as someone was not too poor, they could afford it.

At first, the trade listing did not attract much attention, until someone shouted about it in the chatroom.

In an instant, Xu Lang's five liters of water were sold out.

That was right, in an instant!!

One had to know that water was currently the most scarce resource. Even many people who had water had started setting up their own recycling systems.

This showed just how precious water was!

And copper coins?

No one currently knew what they were used for!

If they did not take up no inventory slots, no one would even bother picking them up.

At the same time, a large number of people added Xu Lang as a friend.

If one truly counted, nearly ninety percent of the players had sent Xu Lang friend requests.

The chatroom also exploded.

[186 Wang Tingting: @Xu Lang, you're so rich!]

[5 Zhu Yan: @Xu Lang, Brother Lang, hurry up and tell us, did you awaken some god-tier tycoon system?!]

[112 Wu Leiting: @Zhu Yan, Lord Lang has lots of supplies, not lots of money. He might have found a hidden resource point.]

[195 Rammed Rock: Impossible! I've never even seen Xu Lang open his door!]

[148 Wang Yue: @Xu Lang, just open the door. I'll only stay inside for an hour before leaving. I guarantee you'll feel good. I'm not asking for much.]

Xu Lang acted as though he hadn't seen any of it. He walked over to the water dispenser and pressed a green button on its casing.

A consumption notification immediately appeared in his field of vision.

[Copper Coins -100]

Xu Lang kept holding down the green button, and the water in the dispenser continued rising until it was soon full.

All told, Xu Lang had only spent 1,500 copper coins!

Not only had he refilled the water, but he still had 1,000 copper coins left!

In the blink of an eye, he had barely done anything and already made a fivefold trade margin!

"So this is what monopoly feels like. Damn, it feels amazing!"

Xu Lang's eyes gleamed with excitement.
