Three Score-Grinding Pals Are Ready

As the night deepened, Wang Yazhi gradually grew more anxious.

She had already been given the tenants' locations.

Now, she could stay in this dormitory with two Swift Repeating Crossbows and two-level gates without restraint.

Yet she could not bring herself to feel happy. She was nervous as hell.

"It feels like I'm being coerced into this."

"In the end, all I'll do is make Xu Lang and the others unhappy, while I'll be unhappy too."

"Yazhi, there's no need to be like this. Since you've already made your decision, just live well from now on..."

After struggling with herself for a while, Wang Yazhi pretended to yawn and said to Xu Lang, "Xu Lang, when are we going to sleep? I'm a little tired."

"Oh, then go sleep first. Turn the bathroom faucet to the right for hot water." Xu Lang nodded.

Wang Yazhi's pretty brows pressed down as her lower lip stuck out, revealing a slightly airheaded look of confusion. "You guys aren't sleeping?"

"No." Xu Lang shook his head, then explained, "We all sleep during the day and stay awake at night. Go ahead and sleep first. It's fine."

If he went to sleep now, wouldn't all that effort to fix his schedule have been for nothing? Besides, if he slept too much, he really could not guarantee that he would still be able to fall asleep once the Nightmare Bed refreshed after its cooldown.

"Yeah, Sister Wang, you sleep first." Tong Qi smiled.

"Then I'm really going to sleep." Though Wang Yazhi sounded hesitant, she still headed toward the bathroom.

The sound of running water splashed away.

Xu Lang's copper coins were also being deducted in a steady stream.

A few hundred copper coins were still too few.

After thinking it over, Xu Lang organized some supplies, then contacted Wu Huihui.

A few minutes later, all the miscellaneous items before Xu Lang, along with an iron gate blueprint, disappeared.

With more than a thousand copper coins added to his account, Xu Lang immediately felt safer.

Blueprints were no longer rare. And once blueprints stopped being rare, materials became all the more precious.

The bulk of what he had just traded was raw materials he did not need, followed by the iron gate blueprint and Zhou Tao's room key.

He would leave Zhou Tao's blind box for Wu Huihui to open. He had no intention of leaving the dormitory anyway.

"So, Xu Lang, how much did you sell it for?" Cao Yaxuan asked eagerly.

"Fifteen hundred." Xu Lang smiled.

Cao Yaxuan let out a long breath. "I thought you were going to sell it cheap to Wu Huihui."

Tong Qi laughed. "Sister Cao, are you afraid Sister Wang will charm Brother Lang out of his senses?"

Wang Yazhi had brought this up during dinner.

Wu Huihui and the others were badly short on raw materials, and they had asked Xu Lang whether he had any extras.

"Not really." Cao Yaxuan rolled her eyes. "I'm just afraid he'll sell it too cheaply."

Cao Yaxuan thought of Sigma Xu Lang.

During those first two days after arriving, she had truly been tormented enough.

Lustful as he was, Xu Lang had never been the sort of person who thought with his lower head in her eyes.

After washing up, Wang Yazhi came out and saw that the three of them were still sitting on the sofa. She could not help asking, "Where do I sleep?"

Tong Qi raised a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, then pointed at the Nightmare Bed.

A trace of curiosity flashed through Wang Yazhi's eyes. Rather than heading straight to the bed, she sent Tong Qi a private message.

That was when she learned what they were doing.

Xu Lang was meditating, while Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were watching Xu Lang meditate.

Wang Yazhi moved closer and saw Xu Lang lounging lazily against the sofa with his eyes closed and his breathing even, looking like an old monk deep in meditation.

Meditation?

What was that?

She had heard that Xu Lang had bought the most expensive skill, and its name seemed to be Meditation.

At once, she continued privately messaging Tong Qi.

The two women began chatting about it.

Back when Xu Lang could not sleep, he had meditated before as well, using a technique called the pilot sleep method.

It was the pilot sleep method!

Not the airplane sleep method!!!

It had originally been used for active-duty American pilots, then gradually spread and became quite famous.

It was probably about relaxing your body, then imagining things like sunlight, beaches, and white clouds.

That was normal meditation.

But the Meditation skill was completely different from the meditation Xu Lang had known before.

Once he activated Meditation, Xu Lang's awareness of the outside world instantly became sluggish, while all his mental energy focused on the changes within his body.

The rhythm of his pulse, the sound of blood flowing, the subtle movements of his internal organs—each entered his sensory world one by one, filling him with an incomparable sense of peace and serenity, as though he were listening to the wondrous rhythm of his own body.

It was worth mentioning that skills could also be enhanced with Nightmare Coins!

And the price was not outrageously high, either!

Time slowly passed. Cao Yaxuan and the others went to bed one after another, but Xu Lang had no idea.

It was not until the rising sun appeared the next day that he slowly opened his eyes.

Strangely enough, although the dormitories in the Dormitory Survival Game were completely enclosed, sunlight would appear indoors whenever daytime arrived.

Wang Yazhi had gone to bed early, and when Xu Lang opened his eyes, she woke up at the same time.

"Sister Wang, come on. Join me for some morning exercise." Xu Lang beckoned to her.

Xu Lang and the other two had already gotten used to sleeping during the day, but although Wang Yazhi had never slept like this before, she still found herself unable to fall asleep.

Fortunately, she was not entirely without things to do.

The girls on the tenth floor were frantically gossiping, and she could barely keep up with their messages.

Besides, Wu Huihui and the others had found quite a few good things while clearing floors, giving them no shortage of topics to discuss.

As they chatted, Wang Yazhi began to feel sleepy.

Hardly anyone had slept well these past few days, and she was no exception.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Although the small bed was cramped, it also made her feel safe.
