Airdrop Arrives, Ghost Child Guardian Spirit!

Seeing that Wu Huihui had actually left, Wang Ao's expression turned uncertain.

As soon as the thirty seconds were up, Xu Lang had Cao Yaxuan loot the corpse while he continued facing off against Wang Ao.

"Let's go!" Wang Ao snorted coldly at the sight and turned to leave.

The other onlookers exchanged knowing glances. They did not leave directly, but silently moved farther away.

Xu Lang ignored them and simply returned to the spot by the wall, standing steadily in place.

Before long, Cao Yaxuan ran over and said, "Xu Lang, look what this is!"

Cao Yaxuan held a crossbow in her arms, its arrowhead gleaming with a chilling light.

Tong Qi covered her mouth, her face full of lingering fear. "Brother Lang, he wanted to use this to ambush you just now!"

No wonder Wang Ao had run off so quickly. He already could not win, and now even his divine weapon had fallen into someone else's hands.

Xu Lang took the crossbow and checked its information.

[Handmade Crossbow]

[Type: Mechanism]

[Level: 2]

[Damage: 45]

[Crossbow Bolts: 1/1]

[Durability: 9/9]

[Can be dismantled for: Crossbow Bolt x1, Wood x8, Wooden Trigger Mechanism x1]

[Upgrade Requirement: 170 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: I only have one shot, waaaah...]

"Even though it's only Level 2, its damage is just four points lower than the venomous snake!"

If Wang Ao had used this thing on the Big Zombie back then, he might have been able to blow its head off and kill it in one shot.

Unfortunately, whether he had been waiting for an opportunity or saving it as a trump card, he had not used it until the very end. Now it had fallen into Xu Lang's hands.

Pah!

This was not him getting a bargain. He had earned it through his own real skill!

"This dormitory survival game really is perilous at every turn. If I hadn't relied on my Super Intuition, I would have been in danger just now... I'd better just hide in the dorm from now on and not come out lightly."

Xu Lang silently made his decision.

Then he said to Cao Yaxuan, "You use this crossbow for protection. I can't operate everything by myself."

"Really?" Cao Yaxuan blinked, finding it hard to believe.

Xu Lang nodded. He turned to comfort Tong Qi, only to see the delight on her face as she rejoiced for her friend, so he said nothing.

Both girls were kindhearted. Xu Lang was the only one with a bit of a dark side...

"Thank you, Xu Lang!" Cao Yaxuan excitedly kissed Xu Lang.

The sight nearly made the onlookers grind their teeth to pieces.

Seizing treasure and winning a beauty's favor—wasn't that the treatment only male protagonists got?

Xu Lang said nothing, cautiously watching his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

Cao Yaxuan held the handmade crossbow and could not bear to put it down, gesturing with it from time to time like a little boy who had just received a toy.

Xu Lang had no idea when he had raised this campus belle into being like this. Maybe that was simply her true nature.

Not long after, a ray of dawn broke through the blood mist on the horizon and fell over the campus.

An iron crate hanging from a parachute slowly descended from the sky before landing steadily on the ground.

Everyone stared at the airdrop, seemingly eager to make a move.

Just then, Cao Yaxuan anxiously tugged at Xu Lang and whispered, "Someone sent me a private message saying people upstairs want to drop rocks on us!"

Xu Lang was taken aback. "Who told you?"

"A simp."

Xu Lang: "..."

Even without Cao Yaxuan's warning, Xu Lang had not planned to just walk straight out. He had been wary of exactly this kind of situation.

He immediately led Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi in a quick sideways run for over ten meters before leaving the cover of the eaves.

The instant they came out, Xu Lang looked back and saw several people poking their heads out from the eighth floor, rocks and bricks in their hands.

They were all Wang Ao's people.

When they saw Xu Lang looking over, they hurriedly ducked back inside.

Xu Lang said nothing and led the two girls straight to the airdrop.

"Those people are so awful!" Tong Qi adorably frowned.

Xu Lang said indifferently, "That was inevitable."

Cao Yaxuan quietly glanced at Xu Lang.

For someone to be so unconcerned with others' malice, either he was used to it, or he was naturally thick-skinned and extremely self-centered.

The three arrived at the airdrop crate. Xu Lang found that it could not be placed in the inventory, so he frowned and had Tong Qi open it while he and Cao Yaxuan stood guard.

Seeing Xu Lang being so cautious, the onlookers immediately gave up some thoughts they should and should not have had.

The deterrent power of two ranged weapons was no joke.

Tong Qi did not need much effort to open the airdrop crate. She took out a black statue shaped like a child.

"Just this one?" Afraid of being distracted, Xu Lang did not inspect its information. Instead, he instinctively glanced inside the airdrop crate.

It was completely empty.

"Mm." Tong Qi nodded.

She was somewhat surprised as well. Such a large airdrop crate had contained only this tiny thing.

The child statue was the size of a human head. It sat cross-legged upon a lotus pedestal, its fangs exposed, resembling a vicious ghost.

"Alright, let's go." Xu Lang nodded. After putting away the child statue, he lifted the airdrop crate one-handed and headed toward the dormitory.

The airdrop crate seemed to be made of steel. Breaking it down would yield some raw materials, and the steel door's durability would eventually drop sooner or later.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. The airdrop crate was at least a meter wide on each side, yet Xu Lang had lifted it so effortlessly.

Just how great was his strength?

They returned to the tenth-floor dormitory without obstruction. Xu Lang took out the black child statue.

It felt neither like wood nor jade. Staring at its pitch-black little face, he could even sense a chill.

This thing was a little sinister.

[Ghost Child]

[Type: Guardian Spirit]

[Level: 3]

[Vitality: 70]

[Skills: House Warding and Evil Repelling, Ghost Devouring, Witness]

[Upgrade Requirement: 500 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: Ultimate evil gives birth to ultimate protection...]

[Bind to current dormitory? Yes/No]

Xu Lang stared at the Vitality section and quickly received detailed feedback.

Guardian Spirits had no durability. Once their Vitality was depleted, they would die, though they would slowly revive afterward. Their skills had no cooldowns either, but using them would also consume Vitality.

[House Warding and Evil Repelling: The Ghost Child will protect your room, investigate sinister entities and ghosts within its field of vision, and intimidate spiritual beings such as strange ghosts.]

[Ghost Devouring: The Ghost Child will devour spirits to restore Vitality. After consuming enough, it has a chance of leveling up.]

[Witness: Forcibly controls an enemy for 1 second.]

"What a treasure." Xu Lang's eyes lit up.

With this Guardian Spirit around, he would no longer need to fear ghostly attacks, though he had yet to encounter any ghosts.

But given how sinister this game was, he would definitely see them in the future.

Humans possessed an instinctive fear of such invisible beings.

"So cute." Tong Qi could not help smiling as she looked at the Ghost Child's dark little face.

Perhaps it was because she and the Ghost Child both had the same baby fat.

Suddenly, the Ghost Child turned its head and smiled at Tong Qi.

Tong Qi shrank her neck in fright. She only liked dragons from afar.

"Gasp—Xu Lang, it can move!" Cao Yaxuan cried out.

Xu Lang nodded and chose to bind it.

The next second, the Ghost Child vanished directly from his hand.

Xu Lang felt the unique connection of a dormitory owner. He hurried out the door and found the Ghost Child hanging beside the room-number plaque, enshrined within a tiny shrine.

"A little higher." Feeling that it was blocking the surveillance camera's view somewhat, Xu Lang spoke instinctively.

The small shrine immediately shifted position.

Xu Lang found it incredibly fascinating. He adjusted the shrine's position a few more times before stopping once he was satisfied.

He studied the Ghost Child and was reluctant to go back inside.

He really wanted a ghost to show up right now, just so he could test the Ghost Child's capabilities.
