The Supermarket Arrives, and Little Mei Can Be Recruited Again

"Fuck! Brother Wang, are we just letting this go?" In Dorm 33, a dark-skinned young man looked at Wang Ao and spoke.

At that moment, all of Wang Ao's lackeys had gathered in the dorm.

Although dorms were theoretically not allowed to house other people, it was fine as long as they stayed for less than an hour.

"Of course we can't let it go!" Before Wang Ao could speak, someone else started shouting.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you! If you're so brave, why didn't you charge in earlier?" Wang Ao roared.

The group immediately fell silent.

Wang Ao knew this matter absolutely could not end so easily. Otherwise, once he lost his authority, the team would become impossible to manage.

Wang Ao took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We need to think this through carefully. That pistol of his is too fucking unfair!"

One of the lackeys muttered, "Brother Wang, didn't you awaken a fire-breathing ability?"

Wang Ao's mouth twitched. "That ability doesn't even reach ten meters. Can its range beat a bullet?"

Thinking it over, everyone realized that was true.

"For now, we can only figure out a way to ambush him and catch him off guard," Wang Ao continued. "But the dormitory building is only so big, and there are too many people watching. We can't be sure someone won't tip him off."

The dark-skinned young man was genuinely bewildered. "Then what are we supposed to do?"

"Wait!" Wang Ao spat out a single word.

Everyone looked confused, only to see Wang Ao give a contemptuous smile.

"Wait for a chance when Xu Lang comes out. I don't believe Xu Lang will stay inside forever. There are so many resources at the resource points—can he really resist? As long as I seize one opportunity, I'll take his life!"

Everyone's eyes lit up at once.

This was a good plan.

In Dorm 200, Xu Lang was sleeping soundly.

Having just finished a battle, he felt somewhat tired.

To be honest, he had never been this strong before, so he had enjoyed himself quite thoroughly.

Moreover, he felt that his driving skills were getting better and better. A drift or an extreme vehicle swap was no longer a problem for him.

Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were also sleeping deeply. They were extremely satisfied with the refreshed environment, smiles lingering on their lips even in their sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xu Lang woke up and immediately checked his gains.

[Base Nightmare Coins: 40, conversion rate: 196%, total output over eight hours: 118 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 182]

Xu Lang had previously spent 200 Nightmare Coins to upgrade the Colt, leaving him with only 64 Nightmare Coins. Yet after just one nap, his Nightmare Coins were already nearing 200 again.

However, Xu Lang was somewhat dissatisfied with this progress.

"The Nightmare Bed gives too few base Nightmare Coins. I need to upgrade it soon. Also... I can recruit new girls!"

"Damn it! The first thing I should do whenever the dorm upgrades is recruit a girl. Like this time—I was short by a few dozen Nightmare Coins, so I couldn't upgrade the Nightmare Bed, and the snowball never got rolling!"

Xu Lang felt somewhat regretful. At the same time, he ran through the female players' appearances in his mind and felt that Wang Yazhi best matched his tastes.

She had dignified looks and a gentle personality, no scandals on campus, and the scholarly air unique to a third-year senior.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang did not immediately send Wang Yazhi a private message. Instead, he glanced at the wall clock, then combined the Nightmare Bed's cooldown with the game countdown to make a rough estimate of the current time.

"It's five in the afternoon now. The game started at six in the afternoon, and the Nightmare Bed refreshes at nine in the morning."

At that moment, there was only one hour left before the fourteen hours in the game countdown of seven days and fourteen hours elapsed.

Those extra fourteen hours were probably a reward for ending the game early.

Normally, the rest period might only have been seven days.

Xu Lang got out of bed and began exercising.

There was absolutely no downside to exercising at a time like this. In any case, he had plenty of food.

The increase in his physique had also improved his perception. Xu Lang felt he could train even the most minute parts of his body, making his workouts exceptionally effective.

With ten minutes left until six in the afternoon, Xu Lang stopped and began wiping off sweat and rehydrating.

He had a premonition that something new would happen at six in the afternoon.

His prediction was correct. Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were jolted awake from their grogginess by the system broadcast.

[Dorm Broadcast: The supermarket is now open. Everyone, hurry in and shop.]

[Before the second round of the game begins, new residents will gradually move into the Mad King Dormitory Building.]

"The supermarket?!" The moment Cao Yaxuan heard that word, she perked up.

"Brother Lang, it looks like we can go out and buy things now." Tong Qi looked at Xu Lang, a little excited.

Xu Lang nodded. "Pack up. Get ready to head out."

At that moment, the chatroom exploded.

[1 Jin Xin: Holy shit, there's finally a supermarket!] [9 Sun Heng: Nobody fight me for it! The first person to enter the supermarket might get a reward!] [186 Wu Huihui: Everyone on the tenth floor, assemble!]

Footsteps and shouts began echoing through the corridor, though it was nowhere near as lively as it had been on the first day of the game.

There had been four hundred people back then...

Now, there were only around fifty left. At most, five people lived on each floor, and several floors had been completely emptied.

The tenth floor had the most people of all.

Hearing the commotion outside, Cao Yaxuan and the other woman moved even faster.

A supermarket—that was a symbol of civilization!

"Ding dong, ding dong~"

The doorbell rang.

Xu Lang went over to check and found Wu Huihui standing outside.

"What is it?" Xu Lang asked.

"Xu Lang, do you want to go to the supermarket together?" Wu Huihui asked.

"Sure. Wait for me."

Being too isolated was not conducive to survival. To keep Wang Ao and the others from stirring up trouble, going with the main group might be a good choice.

Of course, he also had to stay on guard against Wu Huihui.

Xu Lang said to Cao Yaxuan and the other woman, "Clear out anything in your backpacks that needs clearing out. We'll probably be buying things at the supermarket."

"Okay!"

The two women answered in unison.

"Sis Hui, when did you get so close to Xu Lang?" Wang Tingting asked curiously.

"We can talk, that's all." Wu Huihui shook her head.

The people gathered around her wore noncommittal expressions, countless questions running through their minds.

Could Wu Huihui really be interested in Xu Lang?

If Wu Huihui ever became as strong as Xu Lang, would she also recruit lovers? After all, that was what Xu Lang had done.

Not long after, Xu Lang came out with a long blade at his waist. He did not carry a gun.

Yet no one dared underestimate him.

Xu Lang's dominance had already been deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.

Before leaving, Xu Lang casually turned off the lights.

Keeping the lights on also cost copper coins, though it was relatively cheap.

Those expenses would be automatically deducted from him, the homeowner.

Being the head of the household was stressful as hell.
