Old Player Appears, Targeting Xu Lang!

"Xu Lang, hurry and check the chatroom!" Cao Yaxuan cried out.

Xu Lang froze for a moment, then hurriedly opened the chatroom and clicked on Liu Quan's personal information.

[Name: Liu Quan]

[Seniority: Phase 3]

[Room Number: 57 (Owner)]

A Phase 3 Player!

Xu Lang frowned deeply.

A Player with two higher phases of seniority had actually arrived directly.

At that moment, the chatroom was buzzing with activity.

[32 Ye Fan: Holy crap, a Phase 3 big shot! Please carry us!]

[88 Cao Bin: Senior, how exactly is this game played?]

[84 Li Wang: @Liu Quan, big shot, please carry me!]

[191 Sun Yan: @Liu Quan, big shot, does your room still have tenant slots? Can you add me?]

[57 Liu Quan: Heh heh. Looks like I'm the only old player here. When I arrived, I checked your information. You should all be from a newly unsealed Dormitory Building, right? I'll only ask one question now: who took the Unsealing Gift Pack?]

[44 Lin Bao: Xu Lang from Dormitory 200 took it!]

[57 Liu Quan: @Xu Lang, hand it over, and I can spare your life!]

Xu Lang frowned deeply.

The moment this man arrived, he had aimed his gun at Xu Lang.

"Lang Ge, what do we do?" Tong Qi looked nervous.

This old player did not look like a good person. With how arrogantly he carried himself, he definitely had something to rely on.

"Let him come," Xu Lang said calmly.

Tong Qi felt reassured.

Cao Yaxuan said angrily, "Perfect. The repeating crossbow doesn't have a target yet. Let him come so we can shoot him dead!"

Wang Yazhi's eyes were full of concern.

Although Players had never fought head-on before, a Phase 3 Player's physical condition was definitely beyond that of an ordinary person. He might even have plenty of bizarre items.

[57 Liu Quan: Anyone willing to follow me, gather on the third floor. @Wang Ao, you're the Floor Leader of the third floor, right? Have all your underlings follow me. In the next round, you can just lie back and relax.]

Xu Lang's gaze flickered.

Now he understood why Liu Quan had stepped on Wang Ao the moment he arrived. He was trying to build prestige for himself.

Someone like this was far more troublesome than a brainless lunatic!

More than a dozen Players gathered in the third-floor corridor.

The brutal Dormitory Survival Game had made them desperately crave the authority of someone higher up—a senior, a guide—much like humanity's love of creating gods.

Seeing that so few Players had come, Liu Quan frowned. "No one else?"

"Brother Quan, probably not. Most of the Players are on the tenth floor," Sun Heng said with a smile, rubbing his hands together.

Some people did not even know what to say and simply praised him outright.

"Brother Quan, you really look mighty and extraordinary."

This great god could truly lead them to survival. There was nothing wrong with flattering him a little.

Liu Quan stroked his unkempt full beard, his expression strange. "Enough. Stop kissing up. Come with me to the tenth floor."

"Brother Quan, are you going to rob Xu Lang? He has a gun, so be careful," a male student said with a fawning smile.

"Guns are generally Level 2 weapons. They're nothing special." Liu Quan shook his head dismissively.

As they talked, the group headed toward the tenth floor.

Along the way, plenty of people spilled everything they knew about Xu Lang. They practically sold him out completely, afraid Liu Quan would not notice them if they spoke too late.

"Xu Lang is extremely lustful. There are three beauties in his room!"

"Xu Lang has a steel door, and he also has two Swift Repeating Crossbows!"

"Xu Lang bought Meditation..."

Liu Quan waved a hand. "How much do the most expensive items in each of the five areas of your Supermarket cost?"

A thick-browed male student hurriedly said, "I know this. The most expensive item in the item section is a Level 4 battle axe, priced at 19,999 Copper Coins. The facilities section..."

After listening, Liu Quan stared at him. "What's your name?"

"My name is Liu Qiang. We're from the same clan, Brother Quan!" the thick-browed student said with a chuckle.

Liu Quan nodded meaningfully. "You're quite capable at gathering intelligence. Come be my tenant later."

Liu Qiang was overjoyed.

Liu Quan continued, "Here's a little tip. After every game, the most expensive item refreshed in the Supermarket is often the most cost-effective. If you buy it, you profit."

"Heh heh, but we don't have that much money," Liu Qiang said with a laugh.

Liu Quan shook his head.

"That means you're playing the wrong way."

"I'll teach you how to save money and farm monsters later!"

"Now tell me what items you found over the past two days. Don't hide anything."

Liu Qiang looked hesitant.

There were too many miscellaneous details, and he did not know where to begin.

Liu Quan said seriously, "Tell me about items with distinctive features. The attributes of things you find during rest periods are often related to the content of the next round's game!"

Hearing that, everyone immediately began adding details at once.

Liu Quan's expression remained calm until he heard about the Red Sleeve Shoes and the Red Lantern. Then his brows suddenly jumped.

"Brother Quan, what's wrong?" Liu Qiang keenly noticed Liu Quan's reaction and immediately looked concerned, as though Liu Quan were his young wife.

"Nothing. It's only the second day, so the characteristics aren't obvious yet. The game's characteristics will gradually become clearer later," Liu Quan said in a deep voice after taking a breath.

I hope it isn't what I think it is.

Red Sleeve Shoes and Red Lantern inevitably made people think of Chinese-style horror.

Liu Qiang gave another one of his signature chuckles. "Brother Quan, can you tell us how you got to our Dormitory Building?"

"The Survival Game has many different ways to play, and its items will become more diverse too. You'll understand once you get further along. Transferring between Dormitory Buildings isn't difficult," Liu Quan explained impatiently.

The others fell silent as well.

Because they had reached the tenth floor.

In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang knew that Liu Quan had brought people upstairs, and his expression was grave.

This might be the greatest crisis he had encountered since entering the Dormitory Survival Game.

More than ten people, plus an old player—one steel door definitely would not hold them off!

[44 Wang Ao: Xu Lang, do you want to work together and take out Liu Quan?]

At that moment, a private message popped up.

Xu Lang's furrowed brows relaxed as he dismissed the private message notification.

Even Wu Huihui, who had a better relationship with him, had said nothing at a time like this. Wang Ao was even less trustworthy.

Xu Lang and Wang Ao had been at each other's throats before, yet now Wang Ao had turned around and suggested cooperation.

That shamelessness...

Honestly, someone like Wang Ao might be the most suited to the Dormitory Survival Game.

The four of them stared tensely at the surveillance screen.

When they saw Liu Quan truly entering the surveillance range with a group of people, Cao Yaxuan immediately followed Xu Lang's earlier instructions and activated the Swift Repeating Crossbow's automatic attack mode.
