Dare to Provoke Xu Lang? Old Player Dies!

"A level-two steel door and two level-one attack facilities. What a newbie!" Liu Quan sneered when he saw Xu Lang's dorm setup.

Everyone immediately felt an overwhelming aura of pretentiousness wash over them!

Liu Quan swept his gaze around and noticed the surveillance camera and the Ghost Child in the shrine.

His expression did not change when he saw the camera, but the moment he spotted the Ghost Child, his face abruptly changed.

"Is that a fucking guardian spirit?!" Liu Quan cried out, his lips trembling.

Everyone was startled.

Why was this big shot reacting like that?

"Brother Quan, what's wrong?" Liu Qiang asked cautiously.

Liu Quan took a deep breath and pointed at the Ghost Child through gritted teeth. "Where did this thing come from?!"

"I think that was the airdrop reward Xu Lang got," one of the boys eagerly answered.

Inside the dorm, Xu Lang looked at Liu Quan's constantly shifting expression and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Could this guardian spirit be something special?

Judging from Liu Quan's sour face alone, he really could not figure it out.

"Is this guy insane?" Cao Yaxuan blurted out viciously, her beautiful face creasing into a frown.

After seemingly thinking of something, Liu Quan cursed angrily through gritted teeth:

"Fuck, he actually used my unsealing gift pack!"

"You guys go wear down the durability of those two crossbows first. Then I'll break down the door."

"That brat has to be dragged out and killed. When the time comes, I'll give you half the loot!"

"Oh, and don't touch that guardian spirit. Don't damage it!"

At those words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"I'll go first!" a chubby, big-eared boy volunteered.

There was definitely some risk involved.

Otherwise, Liu Quan would not have sent them in first.

But risk came with reward. If he performed bravely enough, Liu Quan might take a liking to him and make him his roommate.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rise to the top!

Seeing what was happening outside, Xu Lang's eyes flickered. He tapped twice on the defense facility control panel and turned off automatic attack mode.

The contest between the two sides had officially begun.

Bang!

The chubby, big-eared boy flipped his hand over, pulled out a brick, and hurled it at the nearest Swift Repeating Crossbow.

Crack~

The brick shattered, but the Swift Repeating Crossbow remained completely unscathed, gleaming like new.

"Idiot, using a ranged weapon against an attack facility is a waste!" Liu Quan said impatiently.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" The chubby boy's face and neck flushed red from the scolding.

"Use a weapon! A level-one facility's attack speed can't be that fast. Just watch your dodging!" Liu Quan frowned.

The chubby boy hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, drew a boning knife, and walked forward.

He had no choice but to take this risk!

After carefully taking a few steps forward, the chubby boy realized that the crossbow was not firing arrows at him.

Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and he burst into laughter.

"I get it! Xu Lang has no copper coins left—firing crossbow bolts costs copper coins!"

"He bought so many supplies that he's completely out of copper coins now!"

"Ha ha ha!"

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up as well.

One of the boys took out a baton and said with a smile, "I'll help too!"

Thud!

While laughing, the chubby boy slashed the Swift Repeating Crossbow with his knife.

The boy holding the baton paused when he saw this, but after noticing that the chubby boy had not been attacked, he hurriedly quickened his pace.

Bang!

The baton came down hard, leaving a scratch on the Swift Repeating Crossbow.

The two boys grew more fired up as they fought, the sounds of smashing and chopping ringing out without end.

The others exchanged glances and walked over as well, attacking the other Swift Repeating Crossbow.

"Fuck your mother! I've hated the sight of you for a long time, Xu Lang! I'll chop you to death! What are you acting so smug for? Didn't you just get lucky and pick up a few blueprints?!"

"You think you're so great just because you've got a shitty pistol?"

"You even fucking stole women from me! They were all supposed to be mine!"

"Why should a lecherous bastard like you get to survive—and live better than us?!"

"Three women! You monopolized three whole women! You deserve to die!"

"I'm smashing your door! So what? How does it feel, huh?!"

As they kept attacking, the crowd began denouncing Xu Lang, their curses brimming with resentment.

This group had already become twisted!

They had been holding it in for so long. Now that they had finally found an outlet, every one of them went completely mad!

Of the people who had come with Liu Quan, only a handful remained standing in the corridor without joining in.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as the hostile visitors were crammed together in the hallway, the Swift Repeating Crossbows suddenly activated, firing two bolts almost simultaneously!

At first, no one reacted. Their eyes bloodshot, they continued smashing away. It was only when someone clutched a wound and collapsed that they snapped out of their frenzy.

"Fuck!"

"Someone's been killed!"

"Run! That fucking Xu Lang set us up!"

The crowd scattered in panic, leaving behind two corpses and one severely injured player.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The bolts fired in unison, finishing them off.

In barely ten seconds, three players had fallen forever before Dormitory 200's door.

"Perfect chance!"

Yet just as all the players were retreating, one person pushed forward against the flow.

It was the veteran player, Liu Quan!

Holding a longsword, he darted forward in quick steps and arrived before the steel door in an instant!

A blue gleam flickered over the longsword as it thrust straight toward the battered Swift Repeating Crossbow on the left.

At the same time, Liu Quan pulled his arm toward the right, intending to destroy both Swift Repeating Crossbows with two consecutive strikes.

Without those two defensive installations, Xu Lang would be a lamb waiting for slaughter.

But at that moment, both Swift Repeating Crossbows flashed, their forms changing dramatically.

Their wooden bodies became wrapped in bronze shells. Even the bolts, whose tips alone had originally been iron, turned entirely bronze, engraved with patterns that looked ancient and weighty!

[Bronze Repeating Crossbow]

[Type: Attack Facility]

[Level: 2]

[Damage: 20]

[Attack Speed: Fast]

[Bolts: 1/1 (Each bolt requires 65 Copper Coins)]

[Durability: 65/65]

[Can be dismantled into: Bronze x8, Bronze Bolt x1]

[Upgrade Requirement: 210 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: Let the brilliance of bronze return to the world!]

Xu Lang upgraded the Swift Repeating Crossbows at the critical moment!

The instant the two crossbows were upgraded, their durability was fully restored, while their power surged dramatically, nearly doubling their damage!

Liu Quan's face went pale at the sudden change, but he was still a veteran player who had survived several life-and-death situations. He immediately turned and tried to flee.

However, Xu Lang's little combo was far from over.

The Ghost Child Liu Quan had always coveted lit up its eyes, forcibly freezing Liu Quan in place!

In the instant he was immobilized, two bolts sank into the center of his back.

Right after that, another two bronze bolts came flying in together!

The Bronze Repeating Crossbow fired very quickly, roughly one shot per second.

Liu Quan broke free just then. In his urgency, his foot exploded with a sharp bang, launching him several meters away.

That burst gave him a brief chance to catch his breath, and without a second thought, he dropped flat to the ground!

Bang bang bang bang!

The door flew open, and a green-painted pistol popped out. The gunfire sounded like firecrackers set off during grave visits over the New Year!

Cao Yaxuan was dumbstruck. From behind, she saw Xu Lang's fingers moving so fast they nearly left afterimages!

When a good opportunity came along, you had to be bold enough to go all in!

Xu Lang seized the chance without hesitation and dealt Liu Quan, the unwelcome guest, a crushing blow head-on!

American-style quick-draw—seventeen bullets emptied in one go!

Liu Quan's body was riddled like a sieve. He was dead beyond doubt!
