A day flew by, and night soon fell.
Besides cultivating, Xu Lang had kept an eye on Bai Jingtao.
His newfound brother was doing an excellent job. He had everything organized on the NPC side, and the value of the information exchanged between players and NPCs was rapidly becoming clear. Even the staff now had access to superior martial arts—every single one of them.

Fortunately, it was a positive development, with no sign of a race to the bottom.
As the players grew stronger, they could fight monsters.
And as the NPCs grew stronger, they could fight monsters too.

"That Building Lord doesn't seem like someone who's been playing this game for less than two years," Forest Titan Cao Sen said, shaking his head.
