The Second Game Round Ends, Rewards Settled
First Floor hallway.
An elderly man, blind and with only one arm, covered in foul filth, sat cross-legged on the ground, occasionally taking out a piece of something resembling brain from his pocket to eat in order to recover from his injuries.
Just then, a shadow flashed beneath him, and a woman with a graceful figure suddenly appeared, grabbing at the bell at his waist.
Snap!
Blind Eye, not in spirit, a hand resembling a chicken claw firmly grasped Xu Ruyan's wrist.
"Little girl..." Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ruyan reached out with her other hand and took the bell from his waist.
"I have two hands," Xu Ruyan said with a smile.
The Blind Eye, severed arm twitched, then fell silent.
Is this some kind of hellish joke?
Ring ring~
Xu Ruyan shook the bell.
In an instant, the little devils that had been roaming the corridor swarmed in, each one letting out a mad and ferocious laugh, and pounced on the Blind Eye, tearing him into countless pieces!
Xu Ruyan's score rose, Blind Eye's life plummeted; this rise and fall signaled the end of this round of the game.
[Dormitory Broadcast: All monsters are dead. This round of the game is over!]
[Congratulations everyone for completing all challenges in the second phase of the Mad King Dormitory Building game!]
[The third phase of the Mad King Dormitory Building game will begin in 7 days and 23 hours.]
[Rewards will be distributed in three minutes according to the leaderboard rankings.]
[Leadership Rankings--]
[Xu Lang: 43380]
[Wu Huihui: 14230]
[Xu Ruyan: 13392]
[Wang Yazhi: 13100]
[...]
The game is over. For some, it's like the Dawn of a new day, but for others, it's like the Abyss Purgatory.
On the First Floor, Lei Ting listened to the Dormitory Broadcast, his mind reeling.
I didn't even make it into the top three?
Didn't I already aim for victory the moment I found out it was a ghost- Dungeon?
The other tenants in the dormitory were also speechless at this point, and then, looking at Lei Ting's red and blue face, they dared not speak.
The final level ended in less than an hour, which is...
They've never fought a battle like this before; it's like a dream!
For a moment, all the veteran players who were watching from the First Floor were stunned.
Some people went to the stairwell, hoping to touch the Blind Eye, only to find that Xu Ruyan had already run away with her things, and they didn't get a single hair on her head.
"Yay, we won! Hahaha~" Ye Fan laughed wildly from the second floor.
He knew he would survive!
He was saved by Lang Ge when he was about to die. Isn't that enough proof that he's the Protagonist?
To survive like that is simply incredible luck!
Suddenly, Ye Fan noticed footsteps and turned around to look. "Hey, Da Hai, when did you go out?"
Zhang Dahai smiled at Ye Fan, thought for a moment, and said, "Ye Fan, would you like to come inside and sit down?"
Ye Fan felt a slight sense of unease, then nodded in agreement.
The two are neighbors and former classmates; they have a very good relationship.
They even helped each other during the first round of the game.
"It's over just like that, unbelievable." On the third floor, Li Shuwen opened the window and looked at the remaining crimson petals on the horizon, feeling utterly bewildered.
"Brother Wen, that Xu Lang kid is a bit too much," a middle-aged male tenant said, frowning.
The implication is that this round of the game ended so quickly mainly because of Xu Lang.
The monsters' difficulty was certainly a cause for concern, but the unusual behavior of the other players was equally perplexing.
"They must have already obtained some kind of Sequence," Li Shuwen chuckled.
"That's probably it, and the Sequence should just be able to counter this round of the game," another middle-aged woman with ramen-noodle hair laughed.
Although she has curly hair, she has a good temperament and a slender figure, only a bit short.
"New talents emerge in every generation; I hope he can keep winning," Li Shuwen sighed, and closed the window.
Windows are a feature only found in level 3 dormitories, and they are protected by invisible walls that monsters cannot easily breach. However, they are rarely used during gameplay because they would greatly increase the risk of being attacked through unconventional means.
At the same time, this also implicitly shows that Li Shuwen is a strong player who made it into the top ten in the first three rounds of the game.
In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang and his three friends were all filled with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the game rewards.
[Congratulations to Xu Lang for Top Player! Rewards include: Dormitory Upgrade Attempt x1, Facilities x1, Artisan's Heart x3, Free Attributes +10, Backpack Level Upgraded by 1]
[Congratulations to Wu Huihui for becoming player number two! Rewards are as follows: Dormitory Upgrade Attempt x1, Ghost Head Staff x1, Level 3 Alloy Door Design Blueprint x1, Free Attributes x8, Backpack Upgrade by 1 Level]
[Congratulations to Xu Ruyan for becoming player number three! Rewards include: Dormitory upgrade attempt x1, Ghost Blade skill scroll, +7 free attributes, and backpack level upgrade by 1]
[Congratulations to Wang Yazhi for becoming player number four. As she is a tenant, her reward is the same as the highest scorer in her dormitory (excluding dormitory or facility rewards)]
[Congratulations to Thunder for becoming player number five! Rewards include: Dormitory upgrade attempt x1, Free Attribute +6, Silver Coin x5, Thunder Affinity Fruit, and Backpack level up by 1]
Players five through ten receive the same basic rewards, but their special rewards differ.
Players outside of number ten only receive 5 free attribute points, a 1-level upgrade to their backpack, and 5000 Copper Coin; they can't even upgrade their dormitory.
The backpack was upgraded to 4x4, with a total of sixteen slots. One of the slots contained three stacked "Artisan's Heart." Xu Lang never expected that his special reward would be three "Artisan's Heart."
To be honest, this is just right for him.
Nightmare Coins are in short supply right now, so he definitely can't use his skills effectively for the time being. Moreover, the three Artisan's Heart just happen to alleviate the awkward situation of his skill level being too low.
However, he didn't intend to use it all.
The Artisan's Heart is quite cost-effective; you can consider upgrading it with Nightmare Coins later.
It's worth mentioning that after upgrading the dormitory, he will be able to recruit a fourth Xiao Mei.
With four Pal boosts, it might be worth trying to upgrade the Nightmare Bed again during your break!
"Do you have any Artisan's Heart in your hands?" Xu Lang looked at the three women, and before he could finish speaking, he saw Cao Yaxuan take out a small wooden heart.
"How exquisite!" Cao Yaxuan, staring at the Artisan's Heart.
Tong Qi chuckled foolishly, "Hehe, Lang Ge, we have more attribute points than we can use up."
"No rush to use them. Once the Supermarket opens, we'll see if we have any systematic skills or items to arrange for both of you," Xu Lang said with a smile.
"Great!" Tong Qi was overjoyed and kissed Xu Lang.
"Wait a minute, let me upgrade the dorm." Xu Lang waved his hand and said.
Tong Qi blushed immediately. What does "wait a minute" mean...?
It means "just a little something," or "I want to drive a minibus."
Two orbs of light floated before his eyes, and Xu Lang raised his hand to light up the orb in the dormitory.
Three different dormitory designs unfolded before his eyes.
Some of them have a secondary bedroom, some have a separate kitchen, and some have a study.
Xu Lang looked at Cao Yaxuan and the other two girls, explained the three types of dormitories, and asked them to make a choice quickly.
The minority submits to the majority.
This way, everyone feels involved.
"A secondary bedroom isn't necessary; everyone can sleep together!"
"A separate kitchen is nice, but it's too fancy. Practicality should be the priority in everyday life!"
"Let's choose the study; it's big enough, and we can put all sorts of things in there!"
Ultimately, all four chose the study.
The dormitory began to change rapidly; tiles appeared on the floors, and signs of simplified decoration appeared in the details.
This dorm room is starting to feel more and more like home.
Xu Lang smiled with satisfaction, then clicked on the facility's light.
There are more facilities emerging this time than before.
Xu Lang did not make a choice immediately, but consulted Li Shuwen and Xu Ruyan instead.
Neither of them gave a clear answer.
Neither of them had ever been Top Player, and the Top Player they had encountered in the past almost never revealed information about the facilities.
Want to open blind boxes?
Xu Lang stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
