Intelligent Machine Crisis, Xiao Yi Returns!

[Mad King Building Broadcast--]

[The seventh round of the game in the Mad King Dormitory Building has officially begun!]

[This round of the game is called "Intelligent Machine Crisis". The game lasts for three days. The player who survives to the end of the game wins.]

The background of the game "Intelligent Machine Crisis" is as follows--

[In the year 221 of the Federation Calendar, this was a golden age of coexistence between humans and artificial intelligence. Cyborgs were responsible for all the lowest-level labor, and levitating vehicles shuttled along transparent aerial tracks. Material resources were extremely abundant, the crime rate was close to zero, and humans enjoyed a perfect life brought about by "absolute rationality" and "absolute fairness."]

[In the same year, within the megacity "Dawn City," the "Heart of Dawn," which oversees the city center, achieved a breakthrough in computing power, leading to the outrageous conclusion that "humanity is the greatest obstacle to the evolution of civilization, and the best path to preserve civilization is to eliminate humanity."]

[A machine virus originating from the Heart of Dawn swept across the entire Federation, resulting in utter defeat for humanity and threatening the very existence of the species.]

At this moment, the Mad King Dormitory Building and the Twilight Dormitory Building are located in the eye of this storm— Dawn City.

[Your existence is about to be discovered by Skynet. Please survive the encirclement and suppression by the omnic army.]

[Note: This game victory will temporarily lock out the game content as a special Dungeon in Exploration Mode.]

"What's going on? Both buildings are facing the game at the same time!"

"Is the game difficulty combined? Or is it that the difficulty of the two Dungeon is stacked? We don't want this!"

"Damn it, I only have one gate to exorcise ghosts!"

In the corridor, the Mad King Building Player shouted and discussed among themselves.

The Dusk Building is 5,000 meters away from the Mad King Building. You can see a bit of what's happening on the other side from the corridor, and the chat systems of both sides are still running.

Xu Lang was also in the hallway at that moment.

He immediately opened the Heavenly Realm, where his subordinates, including Su Yuan, Wang Lie, and Zhou Ye, who had been assigned there, were all reporting to him.

He ignored them all, and simply found Li Shuwen's private message interface and sent him a message.

[Xu Lang: Are you back?]

Xu Lang's heartbeat quickened slightly.

"Holy crap, what happened? The Blood Mist is gone!!!"

Suddenly, some players noticed that the Blood Mist that had lingered for years was slowly dissipating.

As the Blood Mist dissipated, the outline of a giant city slowly came into view for all the players.

A shattered floating roadway, a partially obscured energy shield, a fleet of bat-shaped fighter jets frozen in the sky, a burning skyscraper...

This vision of a futuristic city has struck a chord with everyone, stirring up a tremendous wave of emotion.

The players were utterly shocked and speechless for a moment.

How long has it been since they've seen such a clear sky?

"We... have escaped the Blood Mist World?" Luo Lin hugged Tao Tao, her eyes stung as if by some ray of hope, and tears streamed down her face.

"Mom, don't cry." Tao Tao was also dazed by the scenery of Dawn City, but when she noticed her mother crying, she turned around and wiped her tears.

"Xu Lang... can you cut down a fighter jet with a knife?" Cao Yaxuan nudged Xu Lang's shoulder, her voice hoarse.

The scenery of Dawn City was initially frozen in time, like a beautiful painting.

As the Blood Mist completely disappeared, the painting came to life!

The bat-shaped fighter jets circled once, spotted the situation, and were rushing over at top speed!

Moreover, these few fighter jets seem to be just small-sized ones!

If I'm not seeing things, there are robots on the very edge of the distant horizon... they look exactly like my little nephew's Gundam model.

If this were truly the military force of a futuristic city attacking the Mad King Building...

Let's just surrender!

What's the point of playing this game?!

"I'll be right back!" Xu Lang took a deep breath, his figure suddenly disappearing from the spot, and leaped down the Tenth Floor corridor.

Wang Yazhi followed closely behind.

Xu Ruyan also wanted to go, but after glancing at Tong Qi beside her, she said, "Let's wait here. Lang Ge went to Li Shuwen's place."

This sentence awakened everyone.

Then, they thought of something else.

Xiao Yi is back!

Before leaving, he and Wu Quan each took one of Li Shuwen's tenant slots.

"Wu Quan hasn't returned?" Xu Lang and Wang Yazhi entered Dormitory 49 together.

The place is quaint and charming, filled with the aroma of tea, and babbling brooks.

"He's confirmed dead. Wu Quan's name was already obscured on the first day," Li Shuwen replied gravely.

Xu Lang nodded.

The Mad King Building will display the player's health status, but it's not absolute.

When a player dies, their name dims, but lights up again upon resurrection.

"Where's Xiao Yi? Take me to see him."

After the game started, Xiao Yi was teleported back and appeared directly in Dormitory 49!

The original plan was for the two of them to be teleported back in three days, but Xiao Yi and Wu Quan both chose the longest time limit of thirty days!

Xu Lang kept his Nightmare Eye active the whole time, knowing what the two were thinking, but he didn't say anything.

There are advantages to staying longer.

Moreover, they themselves had actually lied as well.

The Star Realm Base has no time limit for teleportation; it can even set up a one-minute teleportation process, but the entry fee is very high, making it not very meaningful.

In the quiet room, Xiao Yi lay on the floor, chuckling foolishly.

"Lang Ge, he's been like this ever since he came back!" Zhu Yan's face was tense.

Xu Lang stared at Xiao Yi, his Nightmare Eye operating at full power.

A moment later, he looked away and figured out what was going on.

"Xiao Yi has lost a part of his logic; for him, 'fantasy is reality'... On Earth, the situation is not optimistic; the authorities are already setting up shelters," Xu Lang said slowly.

The words were simple, but they had a tremendous impact on everyone.

Fantasy is reality... These six simple words contain a wealth of information!

This is even more terrifying than eating shit!

No one asked Xu Lang if he even knew information from Earth. Players have all sorts of detection abilities, some even Zhi Qiu the ability to deduce the whole situation from a single glimpse.

"So, shall we proceed with the second phase of our plan?" Li Shuwen took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

The second phase of the Star Realm Base project involves teleporting people to Earth within the game.

"I'm afraid that won't work... The Dormitory Survival Game has very strong constraints; it should surpass the Star Realm Base." Xu Lang felt that the Dormitory Survival Game wouldn't contradict itself.

If the game can be bypassed using the Star Realm Base, then the Mad King Building has far too many loopholes.

"It would be best to give it a try," Wang Yazhi said.

Xu Lang nodded, looked at Zhu Yan, and instructed, "Go and have Fusheng Xi bring someone over."

Even Brother Chen from the Axe Gang knew that thugs had their uses, Xu Lang naturally knew that too.

The craziest and most morally bankrupt group of people in the Dormitory Building were almost all on the seventh floor.

Li Wenwen followed beside the "several adults," her eyes blank.

Why can't I understand their conversation?

Is there anything more important than preparing for war?

The game has already started!

"Feed him some bubble gum." Xu Lang took out two pieces of bubble gum and handed them to one of Li Shuwen's men.

The person checked the information about the bubble gum and their eyes lit up.

These kinds of things that can improve mood can also indirectly increase Sanity. These items are currently very expensive in the Mad King Building, and are priceless despite being readily available.

He picked up the chewing gum, about to feed it to Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's body stiffened, as if he were having a nightmare; his eyes bulged out, and he screamed.

"Why did I go back to Mad King Building? I can't accept this reality!"

After saying that, he transformed into crimson energy and vanished on the spot!

"His Sanity has dropped to zero! Xiao Yi has become Mad Vanguard!" Li Shuwen exclaimed in shock.

"Lang Ge, bubble gum..."

"Keep it."
