Building Lord Token Reappears, a Man's Strength Matters Most

"This combined artillery strategy is one of the optimal forms of cooperation."

A group of people walked over.

It was the players on the third floor, led by Li Shuwen.

Now, no one had any more complaints about the player on the First Floor.

Damn it!

Those in high positions are all in cahoots!

In classic negotiations, people don't go to the battlefield, they have no Hatred, and they can even drink together afterward.

This fact is too painful to bear!

"Yeah, there are a lot of benefits... Well, that's true in the conventional sense, but for players on the Tenth Floor, I don't think it's necessary. Just build up your combat power and turrets." Zheng Kai also brought the players from the Eighth Floor over to join in the fun.

Xu Lang nodded to the two of them.

Players on the third and Eighth Floor looked at the Rakshasa player with apprehension.

The male Rakshasa players were tall and imposing, while the female players, though only four— Aygul and three others—were all exceptionally beautiful. Under extreme survival pressure, ordinary players had no time to appreciate the exotic scenery; all they felt was the menacing aura emanating from them, causing them to involuntarily slow their breathing.

The players who could stand alongside Li Shuwen and Zheng Kai were all quite strong; on the ancient battlefield, they could easily take on a hundred opponents, but at this moment, they still felt immense pressure.

Xu Lang stroked his chin. It seemed that the installation of facilities on floors like the Tenth Floor, Eighth Floor, and third floors, which were under the strict control of the dormitory Floor Leader, was indeed decided through discussion.

He looked at Su Yuan and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"This will require some planning time, but it's absolutely worth it!" Su Yuan said excitedly, "A well-planned turret layout can increase the floor's combat strength by at least 20%, and it can also save money!"

The actual increase in combat power is likely more than 20%.

If Su Yuan, an average player who isn't very skilled, can make such a boast, then some experienced players could probably take the results to another level in actual gameplay.

Xu Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I remember there are a few 'planners' on the fifth floor, right? You can go and discuss it with them."

Planners are the kind of people who come up with ideas. They may not be able to come up with top-notch designs, but they are definitely not as good as the average person.

It's said that the planners on the fifth floor are all outstanding talents from big companies, and they're incredibly bright.

This meant they approved of his suggestion! Su Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Yes, that's what I thought too."

"Follow Su Yuan's instructions. You don't quite understand the rules of the Dormitory Building yet," Xu Lang said to Aygul.

"Yes, ma'am!" Aygul nodded, her gaze towards Su Yuan now filled with more seriousness.

Rakshasa players desperately need a veteran player like this to guide them.

If the number of available tenants hadn't already been filled, she would have wanted to recruit Su Yuan.

"Lang Ge, I'd like to use your name; it'll make things easier that way," Su Yuan said hesitantly.

"Okay." Xu Lang nodded in agreement, giving off a distinctly old-fashioned vibe of a wealthy landlord allowing his henchmen to do bad things. He solemnly warned, "Don't ruin my reputation!"

Su Yuan: "..."

ah?

Lang Ge, do you still have a reputation?

Su Yuan's lips twitched, and he responded with a sound of agreement.

"Alright, you can all go now," Xu Lang said, waving his hand.

Aygul turned around, a hint of sorrow flashing in her charming and affectionate eyes, as if she had something to say but hadn't yet.

"King Xu Lang, is the State Preceptor Guya still alive?" White Sand took a deep breath, parted her pearly teeth slightly, and asked on behalf of Aygul.

"If you're alive, you'll be able to meet tonight," Xu Lang replied.

Upon hearing this, the players from the Rakshasa Kingdom were all invigorated.

White Sand was overjoyed and pressed for more information. "Then Heavenburner..."

"Everyone else is dead!" As Xu Lang spoke, Nightmare Eye noticed Aygul and, finding no resentment or Hatred in her, continued, "However, if you behave well, I can let them meet with you, in spirit form."

The views on life and death in the Rakshasa Kingdom seem to be very different from those in modern civilization.

Whether it was due to religious reasons or the logic of grassland tribes seizing the wives and daughters of their enemies, Xu Lang was quite satisfied that Aygul did not harbor any resentment towards him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Rakshasa players left with immense gratitude, and Su Yuan also left.

Xu Lang turned to Li Shuwen and the others. "Have you all bought the equipment?"

"Not yet." Li Shuwen shook his head, exchanged a glance with Zheng Kai, and said, "Zheng Kai and I came here because we have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.

Li Shuwen looked around and saw that the players on the third floor had spontaneously surrounded the area, driving away the other players.

"We'd like to join forces with you to reclaim the land and capture a stronghold," Li Shuwen said. "I went to the Pioneer Hall first and accepted our first mission."

As he spoke, he shared the task with Xu Lang.

[Quest "First Puzzle Piece" (Nightmare)]

[Mission Objective: Capture the first stronghold of Mad King Building]

[Reward: Building Lord's Token - Mad King Building Basement Key, 1000 Silver Coin]

"This is currently the only quest available in the Pioneer Hall, and it can be accepted repeatedly," Li Shuwen said with a smile.

"But there's only one reward, right?" Xu Lang asked.

The Building Lord has already shown his token; he's determined to get it.

"That's right. We know we can't complete this task, so what we mean is, whenever you go to clear the land, we'll follow you," Li Shuwen revealed his true intentions.

"Just getting all the benefits?"

"Of course we'll help. The stronghold is deep in the Blood Mist, and there are bound to be smaller monsters around the big boss. We can help you clear them out, but you can't let us suffer too many losses."

Li Shuwen can accept a certain amount of loss.

The other players didn't seem to notice anything amiss; it was a mixed bag.

Following Xu Lang is better than going to explore the wilderness on your own.

"Good."

Li Shuwen was surprised that Xu Lang agreed so easily, and a smile of gratitude spread across his face, "Thank you for your trust!"

Zheng Kai and the other players were all delighted to hear Xu Lang agree.

"At that time, it will probably be a collective action by our Mad King Building; most players will likely go," Li Shuwen said with a smile. "We want to increase our combat strength as quickly as possible within these three days to avoid being at a disadvantage when we encounter players from Dusk Building."

"It's all up to you. Anyway, I'll let you know when I go out to explore new lands," Xu Lang said calmly.

"Lang Ge, when should we make some arrangements?" Zheng Kai asked.

He still fondly remembers the time he and Xu Lang evacuated.

"Within three days," Xu Lang replied.

Without exchanging pleasantries, everyone bid farewell and prepared to leave.

"Dad, I'd like to browse around the Supermarket some more," Li Wenwen said.

Li Shuwen choked on his words, then cautioned, "Be careful."

"Okay!" Li Wenwen nodded obediently.

As soon as Li Shuwen stepped out of the facility area, he heard a girl sweetly calling out "Lang Ge! Lang Ge!" His old face darkened even more, and he took a deep breath.

Phew... The pace of this Dormitory Survival Game is so fast, there are opportunities to get stronger all the time. If I develop well, I might just surpass... and even have the chance to exchange a few blows with Xu Lang!

Then I'll have the confidence to discipline Wenwen!

Men, it seems that strength is still the most important thing.
