"Damn it! Brother Wang, are we really just letting this go?" In Dormitory 33, a dark-skinned young man looked at Wang Ao and spoke.
At that moment, all of Wang Ao's underlings had gathered in the dormitory.
Though dormitories theoretically did not allow anyone else to stay, it was fine as long as they did not remain for over an hour.
"Of course we can't let it go!" Before Wang Ao could speak, someone else shouted.
"Shut the hell up! If you're all so brave, why didn't you rush in earlier?" Wang Ao snapped.
The group immediately fell silent.
Wang Ao knew this matter absolutely could not end so easily. Once his authority was lost, the team would become difficult to manage.
Wang Ao took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We need to think this through carefully. That handgun of his is too damn unfair!"
One of his underlings muttered, "Didn't you Awaken a fire-breathing ability, Brother Wang?"
Wang Ao's mouth twitched. "That ability has a range of ten meters at most. Can it shoot farther than his bullets?"
Everyone thought about it and realized that was true.
"For now, we can only find 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 eyes around. Someone might tip him off."
The dark-skinned young man was genuinely confused. "Then what do we do?"
"Wait!" Wang Ao spat out a single word.
Everyone looked puzzled, only to see Wang Ao sneer.
"Wait for a chance when Xu Lang leaves. I refuse to believe Xu Lang will stay inside forever. There are so many resources at the resource points—can he really resist going out? As long as I seize one opportunity, I can take his life!"
Everyone's eyes lit up at once.
It was a good plan.
In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang slept 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.
Besides, he felt that his driving skills were getting better and better. An occasional drift or extreme vehicle swap was no longer difficult for him.
Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were also sleeping deeply. They were extremely satisfied with their refreshed surroundings, smiles lingering on their lips even as they slept.
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 production over eight hours: 118 Nightmare Coins] [Total Nightmare Coins: 182]
Xu Lang had previously spent 200 Nightmare Coins to upgrade Colt, leaving him with only 64 Nightmare Coins. Yet after just one sleep, 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 a new Xiao Mei!"
"Damn it! From now on, the first thing I should do after upgrading the dormitory is recruit a girl. Like this time, I was short 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 mentally ran through the appearances of the female players and felt that Wang Yazhi best matched his tastes.
She was dignified in appearance and gentle in temperament. She had no scandals at school, and she carried the scholarly air unique to a third-year senior.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang did not immediately message Wang Yazhi privately. Instead, he glanced at the wall clock, then combined the Nightmare Bed's cooldown with the game countdown to roughly determine the current time.
"It's five in the afternoon now. The game began 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 ran out.
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 up and began exercising.
Exercising at a time like this could only benefit him. In any case, he had plenty of food.
As his constitution improved, his senses improved along with it. Xu Lang felt that he could train even the finest parts of his muscles, making his workouts incredibly effective.
With ten minutes left until six in the afternoon, Xu Lang stopped and began wiping off his sweat and drinking water.
He had a premonition that something new would happen at six in the afternoon.
As expected, Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were woken from their groggy sleep by the system broadcast.
[Dormitory Broadcast: The Supermarket has opened. 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!?" Upon hearing that word, Cao Yaxuan immediately perked up.
"Brother Lang, it sounds like we can go out and buy things." Tong Qi looked at Xu Lang, a little excited.
Xu Lang nodded. "Clean up. Get ready to head out."
At that moment, the chatroom exploded.
[1 Jin Xin: Damn, 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, gather up!]
Footsteps and loud shouts began to sound in the hallway, though it was nowhere near as lively as it had been on the first day of the game.
There had been four hundred people then...
Now, there were only around fifty people left. Having five people living on one floor was already the limit, and several floors were completely empty.
Among them, the first and tenth floors had the most people.
Hearing the commotion outside, Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi moved even faster.
A Supermarket 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 a moment."
Being too isolated was not suitable for survival. To prevent Wang Ao and his group from causing trouble, going with the main group might be a good choice.
Of course, he also had to guard against Wu Huihui.
Xu Lang said to Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi, "Clear out whatever you can from your backpacks. We'll probably need to buy things at the Supermarket."
"Okay!"
The two women answered in unison.
"Sister Hui, when did you become so close with Xu Lang?" Wang Tingting asked curiously.
"We can talk, that's all." Wu Huihui shook her head.
The people gathered around her wore unreadable expressions, countless questions turning in their minds.
Could Wu Huihui really be interested in Xu Lang?
If Wu Huihui became as strong as Xu Lang one day, would she also recruit male companions? After all, Xu Lang had done exactly that.
Not long after, Xu Lang came out with a long blade at his waist. He was not carrying a gun.
But 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 required Copper Coins, though the cost was relatively low.
Those expenses would automatically be deducted from him as the dormitory owner.
Being the head of the household came with tremendous pressure.
