The people who had fled into the hallway stood dumbfounded, unable to even react before the big shot Liu Quan was already dead!

This damn thing hadn't even lasted ten full seconds, how could the tables turn so fast!

The previous second, a 10v1 was being led by a big shot, how could they lose? The next second, teammates were lying in pools of blood and the big shot had fallen!

Liu Quan's name dimmed, which was the best proof of death.

Meanwhile, Xu Lang had already changed his magazine and aimed the muzzle toward the hallway.

After killing a man, his face wasn't red and his breath wasn't short, and he could change magazines with clear clarity, as steady as a professional assassin.

After getting some money, Xu Lang had asked Wu Huihui to purchase some No. 6 Bullets for him.

Now he had more than enough bullets, and he would shoot whenever he wanted!

Just as the saying goes, if you hold a hammer in your hand, everyone looks like a nail!

He wouldn't let a single one of these vicious guests who had smashed his door off.

Vengeance.

This was a rational choice, and the more rational a person was, the better they understood the importance of vengeance.

Because if there were no consequences for others offending you, then the subsequent offenses would only grow and multiply!

Just as Xu Lang was about to fire, a female voice suddenly came from behind.

"I advise you not to do that."

Xu Lang turned around in an instant, aiming his gun at the masked woman ten meters away in the right corridor.

At the same time, he took a small step back, hiding behind the steel door to cut off the possibility of someone ambushing him from the left hallway.

A trace of appreciation flashed through the masked woman's eyes. "Pretty good reflexes, I really can't imagine you're a Phase 1 Player."

"Who are you?" While asking, Xu Lang had already fixed his gaze on the masked woman.

The masked woman was tall, with a voluptuous figure featuring an exaggerated bust and hips that made one's blood surge. She wore a dark green leather jacket, and the black mask on her face shifted its patterns along with her breath, looking exceptionally eerie.

Of course, Xu Lang wasn't looking at her figure, but at her basic information.

[Name: Xu Ruyan]

[Experience: Phase 3]

[Room Number: 180 (Homeowner)]

[Comfort Level: 80 (Can increase Nightmare Coins conversion rate by 80%)]

Xu Ruyan had a very pleasant voice, and through her exposed brows and eyes, one could guess that the person behind the mask was a striking beauty with three-dimensional features.

Yet her comfort level was extremely low.

Because Xu Lang did not want to sleep with a venomous snake!

That's right, the feeling this woman gave Xu Lang was that of a snake, and moreover, an extremely venomous one!

Due to the differing architecture of the tenth floor, Dormitory 180 also belonged to the category of the tenth floor.

"Me? An old player, though I should think I'm different from scum like him." Xu Ruyan seemed to be smiling, her gaze seemingly passing through the iron door to look at Liu Quan lying dead behind it, displaying an attitude of complete indifference toward the gun in Xu Lang's hand. "I dare guarantee this trash has made it into the top ten at most once, while all three of my game experiences have landed in the top ten!"

Xu Lang's gaze flashed, and he said calmly, "Then why did you just stop me from killing the others."

"Of course that's to protect our tenth floor's living forces." Xu Ruyan wasn't someone who liked to drag things out, and said directly, "You already have blood hatred on you. If you keep killing, the blood hatred will only pile up more and more, and by then on the first day of the game, all the monsters will run straight to your doorstep."

As soon as these words came out, a bad premonition immediately surged in Xu Lang's heart, but he still asked calmly in his voice, "What is blood hatred?"

Seeing that Xu Lang hadn't been scared, the appreciation in her green eyes grew stronger, and she smiled.

"If you slaughter other players during rest periods, blood hatred will entangle itself around you. When the next round of the game starts, you will attract monster aggro much more easily than others."

"Even hiding in your dormitory is useless, and the more you kill, the more exaggerated the blood hatred gets."

"This label of blood hatred is what we players call it, and it's also a hidden mechanism of the Dormitory Survival Game!"

Xu Lang fell silent.

Such crucial information, and the game hadn't given a single hint.

This was way too underhanded!

"Then, for someone like me who killed a person, what would the intensity of the blood hatred be like?" Xu Lang asked.

"To be precise, it's four... It's just that since those weren't killed by your own hands, the blood hatred will be a bit less." Xu Ruyan smiled.

"Are there any specific examples?" Xu Lang asked again.

At a time like this, he didn't want to play any winding games, and every word he spoke hit the main point.

Besides, since Xu Ruyan was in the mood to explain, he naturally had to ask everything he possibly could.

Information gap wool was still wool, and whatever you managed to fleece was profit.

"Anyway, the player with blood hatred in my previous round of the game was the first to die, and they had only killed one person." Xu Ruyan bantered, "That's why I stopped you from continuing to kill, otherwise if all the monsters ran to the tenth floor, I'd really have a headache."

Xu Lang fell silent again, silently greeting the creators of the Dormitory Survival Game in his mind.

Seeing Xu Lang's wretched expression, Xu Ruyan laughed, her voice magnetic. "Relax, the Dormitory Survival Game has its own set of judgment mechanisms. Since your killing this time counts as a passive counterattack, the blood hatred shouldn't be too outrageous, otherwise I'd have already changed floors by now."

"Thank you, I'll step in to help you once if necessary." Xu Ruyan said solemnly.

For Xu Ruyan to say all this, she definitely had an ulterior motive. Rather than waiting for her to proactively make a demand, it was better for him to bring it up himself and circumscribe the cost within an acceptable range for him.

Besides, this was a type of empty check, and not a single copper coin needed to be spent.

"Hehe, if you want to repay me, just last a couple more days in the next round of the game." Xu Ruyan said, turning and leaving.

Her hips were very curvy.

Yet Xu Lang felt that even if he checked Xu Ruyan's information again, her comfort level wouldn't be very high.

Although she had provided him with some intelligence, Xu Lang's perception of her remained unchanged.

This was a venomous snake.

The people in the hallway had already all fled. After loot-grabbing Liu Quan, Xu Lang returned to his room.

In the foyer, Cao Yaxuan was clutching her crossbow bolts, and the instant she saw Xu Lang enter the room, tears uncontrollably flashed in her eyes.

"Xu Lang, I thought something had happened to you." She whimpered.

"Hold it steady, don't shoot me." Xu Lang shrugged.

This crossbow was his final trump card, and he had handed it to Cao Yaxuan.

This woman's mentality was relatively steady, she could handle things at crucial moments, and she had also been following him the longest.

"Xu Lang, is what that woman said true?" Wang Yazhi walked forward, checking whether Xu Lang was injured while asking.

"Most likely, she has no reason to lie to me just to save a few strangers." Xu Lang's expression grew slightly heavy.

Hearing this, the three women all harbored varying degrees of worry in their hearts.

[9 Sun Heng: Damn, what kind of trash old player, almost got me killed!]

[181 Li Yu: Sun Heng, you went to the tenth floor too?]

[9 Sun Heng: Don't slander me, I just went over to take a look]

[32 Ye Fan: What old player, I knew they couldn't be relied on like Lang Ge. If Liu Quan was really that great, he wouldn't have brought you guys up there with him. I even tipped Lang Ge off just now, wonder if Lang Ge saw it]

[84 Li Wang: I didn't go either, that old player was clearly treating us as cannon fodder]

[186 Wang Tingting: Everyone stop for a second, let me explain the thing about blood hatred...]

[9 Sun Heng: Fuck, that bitch really was trying to harm us. No doubt about it, later on they'd definitely make us kill Xu Lang while they hide behind]

[32 Ye Fan: Brother, can you stop blowing your own cover? Aren't you afraid Lang Ge's gonna come looking for you]

[9 Sun Heng: It's fine, there's blood hatred anyway]

[181 Li Yu: That apparently only takes effect during rest periods]

[9 Sun Heng: Actually I respect Lang Ge a lot. If it weren't for him, we might all have died in the first round of the game]

The clown logged on, provoking a wave of joyful laughter.

[32 Ye Fan:@Xu Ruyan, big sis, can you carry us?]

[180 Xu Ruyan: Finished kowtowing to big brother and now you're coming to kowtow to big sis? Not afraid of dying]

[32 Ye Fan: Hehe, I feel like you're not a bad person]

[180 Xu Ruyan: I don't have that kind of free time, and besides, there should be other new residents arriving soon, go ask them]
