Xu Lang took a look around but found nothing he wanted to buy, so he casually opened the Chat Room.
Sure enough, quite a few people had @'d him.
After killing the monsters and immediately tallying the loot, he had not had time to pay attention to them. Scrolling up through the chat history, he saw messages from Ye Fan, Li Shuwen, and the others.
To be honest, although everyone else envied Players on the same floor as him for being able to rest early without worrying about more monsters coming up—
To Xu Lang, this was actually a form of weakening.
He could have kept luring monsters over. What a pity...
After so long, everyone had already begun their battle against the Wraiths, so Xu Lang could not exactly keep chatting. He simply replied that he had gotten lucky.
The moment he spoke, messages flooded in as if a young woman had walked into a military camp full of men.
[58 Liu Bing: The big shot has appeared!] [193 Nie Xiaozhu: Lang Ge, you're so awesome!] [186 Li Xue: Lang Ge is amazing! Hehe, thanks to Lang Ge, the bolts from our dorm even killed two Wraiths!] [176 Xiang Cang: @Xu Lang, big shot, can you kill your way down from above? The Ninth Floor urgently needs help!] [163 Wang Yu: Wuwuwu, save me! The Wraiths are so terrifying! My iron door can't hold up at all! Big shot, 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 and can't reach me! Someone save me! Even some iron materials would do!]
Wang Yu was a complete newbie. Not long after he spoke, his name dimmed.
No one cared.
This was not the first casualty of this round of the game.
[1 Jin Xin: Actually, Xu Lang relied on his Guardian Spirit and that airdrop gift pack from the last round. It was really just luck. If we're talking about strength, Lei Ge is the truly strong one. He protected me by force, and not a single person on the First Floor died.] [18 Li Qiang: Yeah, you have no idea. Lei Ge was running back and forth through the corridor killing monsters. He was insanely awesome.] [186 Wu Huihui: @Jin Xin, how do you know what happened on the Tenth Floor?] [1 Jin Xin: Don't worry about that. Anyway, I just know. Brothers on the Second Floor, don't panic. Once things are settled here, I'll go help you soon.]
[186 Wu Huihui: Thank you. You saved everyone's lives again.] [200 Xu Lang: Yeah. If I run into trouble in the future, remember to risk your lives to save me too.] [186 Wu Huihui: ...That Jin Xin seems to have something against you. Be careful.] [200 Xu Lang: Okay.]
In Dormitory 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 could not possibly have known about the Tenth Floor.
"Reputation" was a very important thing. It represented influence.
Jin Xin had probably said that to damage Xu Lang's reputation.
She just did not know whether Thunder had ordered him to do it, or whether he was willingly acting as a lackey and vanguard.
Wait a second!
Wu Huihui's eyes widened.
Since when had she started thinking about so many things?
She really must have been too idle.
Xu Lang did not care about things like reputation.
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 women.
"Doesn't seem like there's anything I want." Tong Qi shook her head.
"You have to pick one." Xu Lang's attitude was firm.
The three women looked reluctant, but they were also a little happy.
In the end, each of them picked a small item.
Their total value was only around two hundred Copper Coins, yet smiles brighter 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 greatly.
[Name: Wang Yazhi] [Seniority: First Round] [Room Number: 200 (Tenant)] [Comfort Level: 96 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 96%)]
Her Comfort Level had indeed increased!
Sometimes, he had to admit that women had much better taste than men.
Of course, that only applied to tasteful women like Wang Yazhi.
[Dormitory Broadcast: The first round has ended. You have ten minutes of rest time. Ten minutes later, strange guests from the cemetery will visit the Mad King Dormitory Building.]
"Strange guests from the cemetery?" Xu Lang raised a brow.
The Dormitory Broadcast had finally announced the opponent for the next round, but the description was baffling.
And this game's pace was far too intense. It did not give them even a moment to catch their breath, with one wave of danger following another.
"Xu Lang, what do you think the monsters in the next round will be?" Cao Yaxuan asked nervously.
"Strange guests from the cemetery... Maybe zombies or Ghouls or something like that." Xu Lang shook his head.
"Probably." Wang Yazhi nodded and unconsciously tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
Time slowly passed.
Thumping sounds rang endlessly through the corridors.
People seized the time to search outside for supplies.
Although there were only ten minutes, they might still find something.
They were like day students who had helped an old lady cross the street, as though they would be late if they did not run faster.
During that time, some Players from the upper floors came upstairs to see what was going on with Dormitory 200.
When they saw that Xu Lang only had a steel door, they began discussing it.
"How come Xu Lang's dorm only has a steel door?"
"Dorms at the edges next to the corridor were almost all breached unless they had Tier 3 Gates!"
"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 worse."
"It isn't that bad, is it? Look at his two attack facilities. They're both level-two Bronze Repeating Crossbows."
"What bullshit combat power! Didn't I tell you? It's all thanks to his Guardian Spirit!"
A voice suddenly cut into their conversation.
Everyone turned and saw that Jin Xin had arrived.
"Jin Xin, why aren't you sucking up to Thunder? What are you doing on the Tenth Floor?"
"You ran all the way up from the First Floor? You're really ruthless."
Seeing that his words had failed to settle the matter once and for all, Jin Xin's face darkened.
The person on the Tenth Floor who had been feeding him information had stopped in time, unwilling to send him any more messages for fear of being found out.
So he could only come up personally to check on Dormitory 200.
Thunder had specifically instructed 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 Floor Leader.
"Lei Ge, Xu Lang's place seems to be fine." Jin Xin took a photo of Dormitory 200 and sent it to Thunder.
Thunder replied, "Oh. Come back."
Jin Xin was baffled.
Was he just supposed to leave like this?
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 absolutely necessary, no one wanted to come outside!
