Rest Time, Wang Yazhi's Comfort Level Increases Again

Xu Lang took a lap around the shop, but didn't find anything he wanted to buy, so he casually opened the chatroom.

At a glance, he found that quite a few people had tagged him.

After killing the monsters, he had immediately counted his loot, leaving him no time to deal with any of this. Scrolling up through the message log, he found messages from Ye Fan, Li Shuwen, and the others.

To be honest, although the others envied the players on the same floor as him, who could rest early without worrying about more monsters coming upstairs—

To him, that was actually a handicap.

He could have kept luring monsters over. What a waste...

After so much time had passed, everyone had already thrown themselves into the battle against the Wraiths. Xu Lang didn't think it was appropriate to keep chatting, so he simply replied that he had been lucky.

But the moment he spoke, messages flooded in as though a pretty girl had walked into a barracks full of men.

[58 Liu Bing: The boss has appeared!]

[193 Nie Xiaozhu: Brother Lang, you're so awesome.]

[186 Li Xue: Brother Lang is amazing, hehe. Thanks to Brother Lang, the crossbow bolts in our dorm even killed two Wraiths.]

[176 Xiang Cang: @Xu Lang, boss, can you kill your way downward from above? The ninth floor urgently needs rescue!]

[163 Wang Yu: Sob sob sob, save me! The Wraiths are so scary! My iron door can't hold up at all! Boss, can you save me?]

[88 Cao Bin: @Wang Yu, where's your floor leader?]

[164 Wang Yu: The floor leader is on the other side, too far away to help! Someone save me! Even some iron materials would do!]

Wang Yu was a complete newbie. Not long after he finished speaking, his name dimmed.

No one cared.

This wasn't the first casualty in this round of the game.

[1 Jin Xin: Actually, Xu Lang relied on his Guardian Spirit, and that airdrop gift pack from the previous round. It was really just luck. If we're talking about who's truly strong, it's Brother Thunder. He protected me by force, and not a single person on the first floor died.]

[18 Li Qiang: Yeah, you have no idea. Brother Thunder kept killing back and forth through the corridor. He was insanely badass.]

[186 Wu Huihui: @Jin Xin, how do you know what happened on the tenth floor?]

[1 Jin Xin: Don't worry about that. Just know that I do. Brothers on the second floor, don't panic. Once I settle things here, I'll go help you soon.]

[186 Wu Huihui: Thank you. You saved everyone's life again.]

[200 Xu Lang: Yeah. When I run into trouble in the future, remember to risk your lives to save me too.]

[186 Wu Huihui: ...That Jin Xin seems to be targeting you. Be careful.]

[200 Xu Lang: Okay.]

In Dorm 186, Wu Huihui closed the private chat window, her brows tightly furrowed as she suspected someone had leaked information.

Fine, there was no need to suspect it. Someone had definitely leaked it, or Jin Xin couldn't possibly have known what happened on the tenth floor.

"Prestige" was something very important. It represented influence.

Jin Xin had most likely said that to damage Xu Lang's prestige.

She just didn't know whether Thunder had instructed him to do it, or whether he was simply eager to be a lackey and a vanguard.

Wait a second!

Wu Huihui's eyes widened.

Since when had she started thinking about so many things?

She really had too much free time.

Xu Lang didn't care about prestige or anything like that.

If possible, he would actually prefer to have less of a presence.

Unlike those try-hard floor leaders, he only needed to lie back and take it easy.

"Is there anything you want?" Xu Lang looked at Cao Yaxuan and the other two girls.

"Doesn't seem like there's anything I want." Tong Qi shook her head.

"You have to pick one thing." Xu Lang's attitude was firm.

The three girls looked reluctant, though they were also somewhat delighted.

In the end, each of them chose a small item.

Their total value was no more than two hundred copper coins, yet smiles more radiant than flowers bloomed across their faces.

Xu Lang was happy to see it too.

Tong Qi bought a chocolate bar, Cao Yaxuan bought a bottle of perfume, and Wang Yazhi bought a pale green gauze hair ribbon.

When Wang Yazhi put on the pale green hair ribbon, Xu Lang's eyes lit up. He felt that her temperament had improved tremendously.

[Name: Wang Yazhi]

[Qualifications: Phase One]

[Room Number: 200 (Tenant)]

[Comfort: 96 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 96%)]

The comfort level had indeed increased!

Sometimes, one had to admit that women had far better taste than men.

Of course, that only applied to women with taste like Wang Yazhi.

[Dormitory Broadcast: The first round has ended. You have ten minutes to rest. In ten minutes, strange visitors from the graveyard will come calling at the Mad King Dormitory Building.]

"Strange visitors from the graveyard?" Xu Lang raised a brow.

The dormitory broadcast had finally revealed the opponent for the next round, but the description left everyone baffled.

And the pace of this game was far too intense. It gave them no time to catch their breath, with one crisis following another.

"Xu Lang, what do you think the monsters in the next round will be?" Cao Yaxuan asked nervously.

"Strange visitors from the graveyard... maybe zombies or ghouls or something," Xu Lang said, shaking his head.

"Probably." Wang Yazhi nodded and instinctively tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

Time slowly passed.

The thumping sounds in the corridors continued without end.

People seized the time to search outside for supplies.

Even though they only had ten minutes, they might still find something.

They were like day students who had helped an old lady cross the road, as if they would be late if they did not run faster.

During that time, some high-level players came upstairs to see what was going on with Room 200.

When they saw that Xu Lang only had a steel door, they began discussing it.

"What's going on? Why does Xu Lang's dormitory only have a steel door?"

"The dormitories at the edges of the corridors were almost all breached, unless they had Level 3 doors!"

"Wait, could he be one of those extreme players who invested all his resources into himself? His combat power must be off the charts, so his door is a little lacking."

"It's not that bad, is it? Look at his two attack facilities—they're both Level 2 Bronze Repeating Crossbows."

"What bullshit off-the-charts combat power? Didn't I tell you? It's all thanks to his guardian spirit!"

A voice suddenly cut into the crowd's conversation.

Everyone turned and found that Jin Xin had arrived.

"Jin Xin, why aren't you sucking up to Thunder? What are you doing on the tenth floor?"

"Running all the way up from the first floor—you're really ruthless."

When Jin Xin saw that his words had failed to settle the matter, his expression darkened.

The person on the tenth floor who had been feeding him information had promptly stopped, unwilling to pass on any more news for fear of being found out.

So he could only come up himself to see what was happening with Room 200.

Thunder had specifically ordered him to come up this time.

Although he was not Thunder's tenant, he and his teammates were practically Thunder's lackeys.

That was the influence of a building leader.

"Brother Thunder, Xu Lang's place seems to be fine." Jin Xin took a photo of Room 200 and sent it to Thunder.

Thunder replied, "Oh, come back."

Jin Xin was baffled.

Was he really just leaving like that?

He felt as though his value had not been demonstrated, but his feet did not stop. He turned and ran downstairs.

In this damned game, only the dormitories were safe!

Unless they had no other choice, no one wanted to come outside!
