Death-Substitution Scarecrow, Halloween Theme!
In the distance, the Wutong reluctantly withdrew its gaze.
In the third-floor corridor, Li Shuwen gave Li Wenwen a few words of advice, and the latter's gaze towards Zhai Ren immediately became serious.
At the same time, all eyes turned away from Zhai Ren.
"This Zhai Ren is quite capable. He acts decisively and doesn't hesitate to get involved in Blood Hatred," Xu Ruyan said solemnly in the Tenth Floor corridor.
Xu Lang leaned against the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow, his gaze meeting Zhai Ren's from afar.
Although Zhai Ren had just committed murder, he seemed quite calm, his tiger-like eyes showing only tranquility.
Xu Lang raised his hand and waved to him, as if to say hello.
A hint of surprise flashed across the other person's face, and they actually nodded to Xu Lang.
"He has excellent eyesight. He dared to confront Li Hu head-on just now, so he must have some kind of predictive ability and be 100% confident in his attack. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked breaking his leg to kill Li Hu," Xu Lang explained to Cao Yaxuan and the others, withdrawing his gaze.
"So, who's stronger, you or Lang Ge?" Xu Xiaomeng asked a somewhat naive question.
"I don't know." Xu Lang shook his head. "Zhai Ren seems to be the kind of player who relies on physical strength; his melee abilities are quite good."
Xu Lang Ge probably a bit stronger!
Xu Xiaomeng nodded, thinking to herself.
Xu Lang and his group turned and went back into the house. Shirley scratched her head and said, "Shouldn't we give him the Black Fish Scale Armor instead?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her.
Xu Lang ruffled Shirley's soft hair and said, "You still haven't quite fit into the atmosphere of our dorm."
They didn't give Zhai Ren any equipment before, but now that he's bought it and demonstrated his strength, they're giving it to him instead. Isn't that just like being a clown?
Furthermore...
Zhai Ren really wanted to cause trouble, would Xu Lang be afraid of him?
Are you kidding me!
Xu Ruyan stared at Shirley and said seriously, "Making Zhai Ren wear the Black Fish Scale Armor is too disrespectful to Xu Lang."
Losing face—this reason sounds ridiculous; it seems like something only a brainless villain in a TV drama would say.
However, that is the truth.
If Xu Lang backs down, his voice will be weaker than Zhai Ren's; in other words, his words will carry less weight than Zhai Ren's.
The most direct difference is that when players acquire good items that they can't consume themselves, who do they give them to first? They definitely give them to Zhai Ren, not Xu Lang!
Ordinary people wouldn't understand why important figures are so concerned about their image.
Because this is a genuine struggle for interests.
"Oh, I think I understand now." Shirley exclaimed in realization.
In her opinion, the Black Fish Scale Armor was useless, and the Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door required Copper Coin to repair its durability. She might as well sell it to Zhai Ren to recover some money, save Copper Coin, and reduce a potential enemy.
But she hadn't considered that if Zhai Ren had feelings for Xu Lang, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
Time flew by, and Zhai Ren had become Xu Lang's second-in-command, his prominence even beginning to overshadow Li Shuwen.
After all, Li Shuwen was only a fifth-generation player.
Besides his own strength, Zhai Ren's dormitory was also extraordinary, being a level 5 dormitory, which meant he had made it into the top ten five times.
However, his dormitory was rather poorly equipped, and it seemed that, just as Xu Lang had guessed, he was indeed a player who focused on physical prowess.
The hot pot was steaming hot, Xu Lang glanced at the Chat Room.
[Chat Room 188/200]
The Mad King Dormitory Building is only twelve households away from being full, so the situation among the players shouldn't change much.
The selection of the Tenth Floor Leader has basically been finalized.
Wu Huihui Tenth Floor), Yun Yun (Ninth Floor), Zheng Kai (Eighth Floor), Nie Kong (Sixth Floor floor), Zhou Shen (6th floor), Tang Ze (5th floor), Zhai Ren (Fourth Floor), Li Shuwen (3rd floor), Zhao Liang (2nd floor), Wutong (First Floor floor).
Apart from the seventh, Fourth Floor, and First Floor, the other seven floors are occupied by the old Floor Leader.
After all, they are local powers, giving them a significant advantage in terms of personal connections and relationships.
Xu Lang frowned and pondered for a moment, then noticed a problem.
"It seems there are very few pretty people among these nearly two hundred. The only one with a comfort level of 94 is someone else's wife."
The survival status of veteran players in the fifth and sixth phases is slightly better than that of lower-level players. More people are wearing nice clothes, and the overall quality is improving. However, very few of them meet Xu Lang's expectations.
After a moment, Xu Lang shook his head.
It's a bit too early to think about this now.
Even though I have the Nightmare Lord Sequence, I can't just play around with it recklessly.
The most important thing right now is figuring out how to coast through the next round of the game.
Based on the types of items players find, the next round of the game will feature a large number of Transcendent elements, with iconic items including a level 6 Pumpkin Head, a level 6 witch's broom, and a level 6 Death-Substitution Scarecrow.
It's worth mentioning that the level 6 Death-Substitution Scarecrow is now in Xu Lang's hands!
[Death-Substitution Scarecrow]
[Type: Item]
[Level: 6]
[Effect: Grants immunity to one fatal attack]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1000 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Hahaha, this is a Halloween gift for kids— Fear Scarecrow!]
This was found by a player on the second floor. Wanting to maximize their profits but afraid of provoking Zhao Liang, they directly messaged Xu Lang.
Xu Lang didn't treat him unfairly; the price he offered was much higher than the market price.
"Xu Lang, I feel like the next game will be Halloween-themed," Cao Yaxuan said casually as she handed Xu Lang a piece of hot pot beef.
"I feel the same way," Tong Qi agreed, biting her chopsticks as she said, "Someone in the Chat Room just summarized the top ten Halloween taboos, and I think they're very important."
Xu Lang nodded. "Everyone can take a look."
As he spoke, he took out the Progenitor's Manuscript.
The book is updated daily, and Xu Lang, like a devoted reader, takes it out to read every day and discusses it with Cao Yaxuan and the others.
[Great Compassion, Great Compassion, Great Compassion!!!]
[Three of my favorite giant blood slaves ran away today!]
[Oh God, how am I supposed to survive in this Blood Mist World without them?]
[This is truly heartbreaking!]
[Come back, my valiant and fearless Blood Servant Giant!]
Xu Lang and Shirley peeked over to watch, and then recounted what they saw to Cao Yaxuan and the others.
"This True Ancestor's mental state is as abnormal as ever..." A strange expression flashed across Wang Yazhi's usually cold face.
"Perhaps all vampires are insane." Cao Yaxuan repeatedly.
"I think she's a bit of a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), maybe the kind of cute Blood Ghost girl who looks adorable, and she always says she's sixteen, but she's probably already a thousand years old," Tong Qi said earnestly.
"Hey, do you guys think that giants might attack our Dormitory Building in the future?" Shirley suddenly asked.
"Teacher Shirley, don't jinx it!" Tong Qi said fearfully.
The group discussed the matter, chatting and laughing until they finished their hot pot.
If your life is easy and comfortable enough, then the Mad King Dormitory Building is not boring at all.
The type of game to be played next is always a popular topic, and the Floor Leader and top players become the stars of the show, providing fodder for conversation.
Moreover, there are many violent conflicts here; there's so much drama to gossip about that it's impossible to finish it all.
