"Let's go," Xu Lang said.
"Okay." Wu Huihui nodded and walked toward the staircase.
She had been waiting for Xu Lang to come up and chat with her, but when she turned around, she found him lagging at the very back. The corner of her mouth twitched.
"Xu Lang, you don't need to be so cautious. The Tenth Floor is one big family. We'll all help each other. We already know about you giving Li Yu the blueprint. You're actually a good person, right?" she said sincerely.
Xu Lang fell silent for a moment, then grinned. "Yes, I'm a good person. You guys walk in front. I won't shoot you."
Everyone immediately felt a chill run down the backs of their heads.
Wu Huihui sensed that something was off and quickly said, "Fine, you walk behind us and keep watch!"
As she spoke, she quickened her pace.
The others did the same.
"Damn, they came down together."
On the way to the Supermarket, Wang Ao's group saw Xu Lang and the others rushing downstairs. Their expressions changed slightly.
They really had considered surrounding Xu Lang on the way.
"Don't stare. Get to the Supermarket," Wang Ao said coldly.
The Supermarket was not far from the dormitory, within a radius of five hundred meters.
This Supermarket had appeared out of nowhere, as naturally as if it had always been there.
The Players from the First Floor were the first to enter the Supermarket, only to discover that someone had arrived even earlier than them.
The young man had a round head and brainy-looking face, dressed in a trench coat.
It was Zhang Dahai, the one who had once livestreamed pictures for everyone.
"Dahai, how did you get here so quickly?" Jin Xin asked in surprise.
"I was wandering around outside and happened to see the Supermarket appear, so I came in," Zhang Dahai said with an awkward smile.
The others did not pay him much attention after hearing that. Instead, they began looking around the Supermarket.
There were no clerks in this Supermarket, and it was much larger than an ordinary convenience store. The lighting was bright, the facilities were exquisite, and it was roughly divided into five major sections.
They were the Living Area, Entertainment Area, Equipment Area, Skill Area, and Facilities Area.
"Fuck, this is damn expensive. A Level 1 weapon costs 800 Copper Coins!"
"Isn't that Xu Lang's battle saber? It actually costs 6,000 Copper Coins. That's enough to buy my life!"
"A liter of bottled water only costs 120 Copper Coins, while Xu Lang charged us 500. What a Black Merchant!!"
"Yazhi, hurry up and ask him," a male student urged a pretty girl among the main group from the Tenth Floor.
The girl had long, straight black hair. Even in flats, she was around 1.7 meters tall. She had a lovely face, a graceful figure, and an excellent temperament.
"Can I really ask?" Wang Yazhi did not sound very confident.
The male student assured her, "If you ask him, he'll definitely answer!"
"Yeah, Yazhi, you're so pretty, and Xu Lang is such a pervert. If you ask him, he'll definitely tell you!"
"Exactly, Yazhi. That little black figure looks like it was an airdrop reward. It might be really powerful!"
The people around them began chiming in as well.
"Xu Lang, what's that black little figure hanging beside your room number?" Wang Yazhi hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at Xu Lang. Her voice carried a quiet sweetness.
At once, everyone held their breath and slowed their steps.
Wu Huihui was no exception.
Perhaps because Wu Huihui had let everyone use the bathroom, the members of the Tenth Floor were all reasonably clean. Wang Yazhi's flowing hair was especially beautiful, as though it carried a fragrance.
"That's a Guardian Spirit. It can protect my dormitory from being attacked," Xu Lang replied.
[Name: Wang Yazhi] [Seniority: First Phase] [Room Number: 193 (Tenant)] [Comfort: 92 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 92%)]
Wang Yazhi was an Eastern beauty with perfectly balanced features. Though her finer details were not as exquisite as Cao Yaxuan's, and her figure was not as breathtaking as Tong Qi's, her gentle temperament was truly captivating.
At the same time, she had the highest Comfort level among all the girls on the Tenth Floor.
Because Wu Huihui had taken especially good care of the girls before, nearly all the girls had gathered on the Tenth Floor, leaving the gender ratio severely unbalanced.
"Oh~" Wang Yazhi smiled, brushed aside a lock of hair, and quickly turned forward again.
Her heart was pounding, and even her face felt a little hot.
Xu Lang had actually answered her!
College students might not be as susceptible to the whole "school bully" thing anymore, but that depended on the person.
Everyone knew Brother Guanxi was a scumbag, but if he had appeared on campus during the peak of his looks, he would definitely have driven the girls crazy.
Besides, Xu Lang's current status was far more substantial than Brother Guanxi's. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he held other people's lives in his hands.
"Xu Lang actually answered Yazhi!"
Wu Huihui was deeply shocked, but she also felt a little dejected.
If she had been as pretty as Wang Yazhi back then, would Xu Lang have agreed to open the door?
"Yazhi, there's hope! Xu Lang really likes you!" a girl standing closest to Wang Yazhi said excitedly.
She was the owner of Dormitory 193 and Wang Yazhi's closest friend.
If Wang Yazhi could latch onto Xu Lang, she felt that she would benefit too.
Bestie, can you marry a rich man? An eighty-year-old would be even better. Brother, I really can't hold on anymore. Can you go find yourself a rich older woman?
"What do you mean, likes me?" Wang Yazhi's face was full of shy embarrassment.
Seeing her like this, the crowd teased her even more enthusiastically.
A spark of vitality had appeared in this dead world.
"There are only seven days left until the next round of the game." Xu Lang secretly felt a sense of urgency.
Who knew what the next game's basic setup would be? It would most likely be more terrifying than Zombie Assault, or it would lose its "gameplay."
Moreover, the Dormitory Broadcast had said that other Players would be joining.
When that happened, there would be new social conflicts.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang wanted to remind Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan of a few things. But seeing how excited the two girls were, he decided not to be the one to spoil the mood.
Since the game had given them seven days of rest, they should rest properly.
Of course, his rest was different from everyone else's. He would keep getting stronger without end!
Before long, they arrived at the Supermarket.
At the entrance to the Supermarket, there were signs prohibiting fighting and destruction.
No one dared test the rules.
This game was far too strange.
Xu Lang and the two girls entered the Supermarket and found spray-painted reminders on the walls, such as "Store items refresh weekly" and "Closed during games."
After giving them a quick glance, Xu Lang led the two girls straight to the Equipment Area.
Looking at the various weapons displayed in the glass cases, Xu Lang's heart throbbed with desire.
Players could inspect an item's information through the glass display case and purchase it by clicking payment.
Xu Lang stopped in front of a Level 2 bulletproof vest.
To be honest, he was quite afraid of someone taking a shot at him from the shadows.
If the price was low enough, Xu Lang would not mind buying it.
The problem was that this bulletproof vest came as a set and had to be purchased together with the tactical gear, for a total of 10,800 Copper Coins!
"Xu Lang, there are bullets over here." Cao Yaxuan poked Xu Lang's arm and gestured for him to look to the side.
[No. 6 Bullets] [Type: Consumable] [Level: 1] [Upgrade Requirement: 10 Nightmare Coins] [Description: Suitable for the vast majority of standard pistols] [Price: 20 Copper Coins]
The Colt Viper used No. 6 Bullets!
Xu Lang's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to buy some, bursts of startled cries erupted from the Facilities Area beside them, drawing his attention.
"Brother Wang, isn't this the steel door that kid Xu Lang has? It really is a Tier 3 Gate, but it's nothing special. They even have blueprints for Tier 4 Gates here. Damn, they're expensive!"
"Holy shit, we're rich, Brother Wang! We're rich! Look what I found. This game actually has attack facilities. Now we'll never have to fear zombies again!"
"Hahahaha, it's real! Supermarket, I love you! Why didn't you appear sooner?"
"Damn, they're expensive. A Swift Repeating Crossbow costs 2,000 Copper Coins!"
Xu Lang led the two girls over and immediately saw Wang Ao and the others gathered beneath rows of crossbows.
[Swift Repeating Crossbow] [Type: Attack Facility] [Level: 1] [Damage: 12] [Attack Speed: Standard] [Crossbow Bolts: 1/1 (Each bolt costs 40 Copper Coins)] [Durability: 30/30] [Can be dismantled into: Wood x6, Crossbow Bolt x1] [Upgrade Requirement: 100 Nightmare Coins] [Description: An automatically attacking, automatically reloading repeating crossbow. A reliable helper for guarding against thieves and killing enemies. Can be manually turned on or off inside the dormitory.] [Price: 2,000 Copper Coins]
A yellow sign with a friendly reminder hung beside it.
[Friendly Reminder: Every time a dormitory levels up, two attack facilities can be installed. A Level 1 dormitory can install a maximum of two attack facilities.]
