Upgrading Colt Viper, the Second Wave of Monsters Was About to Strike
Xu Lang's first reaction upon seeing Li Shuwen's private message was suspicion.
This guy was always so cautious, how come he's suddenly become so aggressive and daring?
Could they be setting me up?
[200 Xu Lang: Have you discovered the Frost Ghost King's weakness?]
[49 Li Shuwen: No, I just wanted to try it out. If all the players join, we can definitely beat them.]
[200 Xu Lang: No player will fight to the death; if they can't win, they run away... You should understand, right?]
[49 Li Shuwen: So I want to try gathering the Building Lord first]
[200 Xu Lang: I'm not going]
In Dormitory 49, Li Shuwen sighed.
Based on his intuition from playing so many games, killing the Frost Ghost King would definitely result in a huge loot drop.
Normally, monsters with a question mark at their level are not meant to be killed by players, but rather are NPCs that trigger story events.
"Old Li, don't overthink it." The female tenant patted Li Shuwen on the shoulder and said, "Just focus on guarding the house. Even if we kill the Frost Ghost King, we'll suffer heavy losses. What will we do for the next six days? Besides, there are mysterious creatures at night; maybe we'll get a huge loot."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuwen chuckled and nodded, saying, "It's alright, I'm just trying to communicate with them first anyway."
Another middle-aged male tenant looked worried.
Li Shuwen's situation is not quite right.
None of the others had relatives who entered the Survival Game; only Li Shuwen came, so they couldn't understand Li Shuwen's anxiety.
"Hahaha, look at my ranking!" Zheng Kai suddenly burst into laughter in the Tenth Floor corridor.
The player, who was about to go back inside to escape the cold, suddenly stopped in his tracks, opened the leaderboard, and was shocked to see Zheng Kai ranked eighth.
"Zheng Kai, you're so quick-witted! You brought us here to rack up points right away," a player on the Eighth Floor laughed.
"Remember this, following Lang Ge is always the right thing to do. Whatever Lang Ge does, we do too." Zheng Kai imparted his experience. "Lang Ge will take care of the monster on the third floor!"
"Hahaha!"
A joyful atmosphere instantly filled the scene, as if even the cold weather had been somewhat dispelled.
Many people, even though they didn't make it into the top ten of the leaderboard, still managed to find quite a few good items.
Some people even got wolf pelts, which are now worth a fortune.
"Ouch~ It's so cold, I'm going back now!"
"Me too."
Do you think it will get even colder later?
"No way! My dad's freezing in his room already, he'll freeze to ashes if he gets any colder, hahaha!"
"Awesome."
In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang earnestly instructed the four girls dressed in wolf skins, "It'll be your turn in the next round of the game. Are you ready?"
"It's done!" Cao Yaxuan vigorously, full of anticipation.
In this round of the game, Dormitory 200 will occupy five of the top ten spots!
As for why they weren't allowed to start farming during the previous wave of monster attacks, it was mainly due to adaptation issues.
Having watched the show for so long, the four women had a clear understanding of the Frost Ghost's attack patterns, greatly reducing the possibility of being caught off guard.
"Am I going to kill monsters too? That's awesome!" Shirley exclaimed excitedly.
The morale of the troops is high.
Xu Lang nodded to himself, then turned his gaze and a semi-transparent, cold blue box appeared in his field of vision.
His gaze was fixed on Colt Viper.
[Nightmare Coins -420]

[Upgrade Requirements: 710 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Tap tap tap tap! Call me a typewriter!]
[Total Nightmare Coins: 1791]
As long as you don't upgrade the Nightmare Bed, you'll have more Nightmare Coins than you can use!
You can't spend it all, you simply can't spend it all!
"The upgrade price for the Dual-Pistol Colt is ten Nightmare Coins more expensive than the Blood Pelican Blade, so the guns are still incredibly valuable."
Xu Lang sighed inwardly, took out his dual Colt pistols, and handed them to Cao Yaxuan: "Here, you and Tong Qi can go farm points later."
"Okay." Cao Yaxuan held two pistols, her eyes shining. "Xu Lang, how about I just use up my attribute points? Seven points in Constitution and five points in Spirit. Otherwise, I'm afraid things might get messy."
Xu Lang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Cao Yaxuan with joy, and she began to add points.
The wolfskin's warmth didn't reach her face, Cao Yaxuan, having been outside for too long, had flushed cheeks, looking like a little lucky doll—quite adorable.
Xu Lang looked at Shirley and said, "Shirley, watch how Ya Xuan and Tong Qi rack up points first, then you can try to do it too."
"Okay, by the way, are you hurt? Let me treat you!" Shirley nodded repeatedly, then her mind turned to treating others' injuries.
Xu Lang shook his head.
You will not be injured before the Jade Burial Suit shatters.
This item is so amazing, it will definitely need to be upgraded in the future, but its durability is still very high right now, so there's no rush.
"Okay." Shirley was a little disappointed.
That smug little face made Xu Lang want to ride a horse again.
Since using the Golden Revolution, his energy has become incredibly abundant.
Xu Lang composed himself and opened his private messages with Zheng Kai.
[200 Xu Lang: Do you know anything about the Jack of Hearts?]
[159 Zheng Kai: Lang Ge, didn't you know? Yun Yun upgraded her Tier 4 Gate just because she scanned a Jack of Hearts.]
Xu Lang frowned slightly.
Yun Yun is the new Floor Leader of the Ninth Floor. She is a woman, but she is not very attractive, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
[200 Xu Lang: Yun Yun probably gave you false information, or you misunderstood something. I have a Queen of Hearts here, which can only copy turrets for ten minutes.]
[159 Zheng Kai: No way, I'll call the brothers on the Ninth Floor to check if Yun Yun's gate is temporary.]
A moment later, Zheng Kai sent a message.
[159 Zheng Kai: Yun Yun's door is still open!]
[200 Xu Lang: Okay, I'll contact you again if there's any further information]
[159 Zheng Kai: Okay, Lang Ge]
Zheng Kai's information is certainly incomplete; it's also possible that the Queen of Hearts is indeed worse than the Jack of Hearts, but that clearly doesn't make sense.
Xu Lang felt that if he asked Yun Yun, she might not tell the truth. He decided to wait for an opportunity and get a Jack of Hearts for himself.
He always felt that there wouldn't be just one of these cards, since a deck of cards, besides the Jokers, usually has four identical cards.
This matter is temporarily concluded.
Three hours will pass quickly.
A large army of Frost Ghost gathered around the Frost Ghost King.
During this time, some people tried to attack the Frost Ghost King from a distance, but were blocked by a layer of frost shield. Others tried to sneak up and sweep through the building, but were frozen into ice sculptures by the Frost Ghost King's ice magic.
So, the group of players with the wall-hanging skill went downstairs from the back of the dormitory and actually bypassed the Frost Ghost King, although they would occasionally run into the Frost Ghost that were gathering and fight them.
