Xu Lang opened his private messages and found that Ye Fan had indeed sent him a message five or six minutes ago.
After replying with a thank-you, Xu Lang opened his chat with Wu Huihui.
[200 Xu Lang: Do you want Liu Quan's room door key?]
[186 Wu Huihui: How much?]
[200 Xu Lang: Name your price.]
[186 Wu Huihui: I don't think I can afford it. Why don't you trade it to Wang Ao? It'd be good to make the people from our old campus stronger, so we won't get bullied.]
Xu Lang frowned at her words.
It seemed Wu Huihui did not want it because Room 57 was on the third floor. After all, the dormitory gate and defensive facilities could not be moved up to the tenth floor, and forcibly dismantling them would be too wasteful.
As for selling it to Wang Ao...
To be honest, if he had the chance, Xu Lang still wanted to take Wang Ao out.
It had nothing to do with whether he was magnanimous or not. It was mainly related to that revenge theory from before.
Just then, Wang Ao's avatar flashed as a private message arrived.
Xu Lang tapped it open.
[44 Wang Ao: Lang Ge, are you selling the key to Room 57?]
Xu Lang chuckled softly.
That damn Wang Ao really could swallow his pride.
Forget it. He had already killed one veteran Player and intimidated the other riffraff, so there was no rush to kill Wang Ao.
Besides, Wang Ao was on the third floor and likely would not come up easily.
[200 Xu Lang: Give me your highest offer.]
[44 Wang Ao: Five thousand Copper Coins. If you give me another two days, I can gather more, but by then the other veteran Players might arrive, and they may just break down the door directly.]
[200 Xu Lang: Eight thousand.]
[44 Wang Ao: That really is my highest offer!]
In Room 44, Wang Ao's face darkened.
He had been too anxious and had actually named his highest price.
They were all newcomers. How could they have any especially detailed plans? On their first day entering the Supermarket, they had basically spent all their money.
The reason he had five thousand was mainly because he had swept floors and robbed people.
[200 Xu Lang: Trade me everything of value you're willing to exchange. I'll see whether it's enough.]
Wang Ao gritted his teeth. While shouting for his lackeys to bring over supplies, he began trading with Xu Lang.
As he looked at the key to Room 57 in the other party's trade window, his eyes reddened.
That was a veteran Player's dormitory!
He had gone to inspect Room 57. Since Liu Quan was dead, its dormitory information could now be investigated.
Its dormitory door was a level-two steel door, while its offensive facilities were two level-one water cannons.
That door alone was worth six thousand!
"Bring everything over, now!" Wang Ao urged his lackeys.
Soon, a pile of supplies had been placed in his trade window.
On the other side, Xu Lang felt it was about enough and confirmed the trade.
Wang Ao immediately accepted, and a key appeared in his hand.
"Ha ha!" He burst into laughter, then suddenly noticed how Empty his dormitory was and started cursing. "Fuck, we're short on food now!"
Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, he hurriedly led his two lackeys to Room 57 to open the treasure chest.
This Room 57 was truly important to him.
Otherwise, his lackeys did not even have level-one dormitories, which made him look bad.
A huge pile of supplies appeared out of thin air in Xu Lang's dormitory, making Cao Yaxuan and the other two women light up.
"These were traded for Liu Quan's room door key. Sort them out. I'll check the value of his other belongings," Xu Lang said with a smile.
"Got it!" Tong Qi rolled up her sleeves.
Little Qba had something of a hoarder's instinct. When it came to sorting supplies, she was the most diligent.
Cao Yaxuan and Wang Yazhi also went to help, while Xu Lang quickly finished taking stock of Liu Quan's belongings.
A level-three longsword, three level-two throwing darts, two level-two Ghost-Repelling Talismans, and a Blood-Colored Remnant Map of unknown use.
Other than that, there were only a few hundred Copper Coins.
These veteran Players seemed to have no habit of saving money either.
Xu Lang was greatly disappointed. Liu Quan felt so poor.
If Liu Quan knew about this, he would probably be so angry he came back to life.
He might not have been a top-tier expert, but he should not have been called poor by a newcomer!
Xu Lang was simply too rich, which made Liu Quan seem poor by comparison.
Aside from the first two days, Xu Lang had spent the following two days like a nouveau riche, living better at home than everyone else.
While others were still struggling bitterly, he was at home eating self-heating hotpot with two gorgeous women.
"The total value of this stuff doesn't exceed six thousand. And without the relevant skills, a longsword isn't even as useful as a machete. It probably won't be easy to sell," Xu Lang calculated, stroking his chin.
After thinking it over, he decided not to sell the weapons and instead keep them for the three women.
He had not forgotten another matter.
That was, if everyone in his dormitory ranked in the top ten on the points leaderboard, could the dormitory be upgraded multiple times?
He began asking Xu Ruyan about it.
[180 Xu Ruyan: So even a turtle-style Player like you has dreams like this?]
Xu Lang: "..."
This woman's intelligence-gathering ability was fucking impressive. She had uncovered his background so quickly.
Although Xu Ruyan mocked him, she still told him the information she knew.
[180 Xu Ruyan: It won't increase the number of room upgrades, but everyone else's rewards will synchronize with the person who has the highest points.]
[200 Xu Lang: Thanks. Also, why did Liu Quan care so much about Guardian Spirits?]
[180 Xu Ruyan: Because there is no limit to the number of dormitory Guardian Spirits, their functions are diverse, and they're incredibly rare. Forget him—even I'm tempted. If Guardian Spirits didn't only acknowledge one dormitory owner, I'd definitely rob you.]
Xu Lang found that strange.
[200 Xu Lang: Then why did Liu Quan still try to rob me?]
Xu Ruyan's response was extremely simple and blunt.
[180 Xu Ruyan: That idiot probably didn't know the specific rules for Guardian Spirits. He'd only heard that such a thing existed!]
[200 Xu Lang: Thanks.]
Their conversation ended there.
Xu Lang had also made his decision.
"Yazhi, come here." He beckoned to Wang Yazhi.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yazhi smoothed her white dress and walked over.
Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi looked over as well.
Xu Lang directly handed the longsword to Wang Yazhi. "This is a gift for you."
Wang Yazhi froze. After taking the longsword and discovering it was a level-three item, she hurriedly waved her hands in refusal. "No, no, no. This is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Even Wu Huihui had only bought one level-three weapon so far. She had done nothing—how could she possibly accept such good equipment?
"Hm?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.
"Yazhi, just accept it." Tong Qi smiled. "Xu Lang has given weapons to us too."
"But this is a level-three weapon!" Wang Yazhi clenched her fair hand around it, feeling immense pressure.
Cao Yaxuan immediately felt a little jealous.
Just then, Xu Lang sent her a private message.
[200 Xu Lang: When we get new weapons later, I'll replace yours too.]
He sent the same message to Tong Qi.
Being close was one thing, but he still had to consider the issue of unequal treatment.
After sending the messages to the two women, Xu Lang said to Wang Yazhi, "If you take this sword, you need to prepare yourself to fight. If all you want is to stay home forever, then forget it."
"Okay!" Wang Yazhi felt courage rise in her heart instead and agreed.
She did not want to keep idling around and waiting to die without contributing anything.
If the dormitory gate was ever truly breached, she wanted to do her part as well.
"Give it a try." Xu Lang smiled.
Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi stopped sorting supplies and ran over to watch Wang Yazhi practice with the sword.
The sword's shadow drew gleaming arcs through the air, sharp enough to split ordinary wood at a touch.
