Chapter Summaries

Xu Ruyan arranged to move into Xu Lang’s Dormitory 200 after the game, while Xu Lang bought a Ribbit Wallet with wolf pelts as wolf pelt prices climbed to six thousand Copper Coins.

• After the monsters were killed, Xu Lang and the others went out to collect supplies and found two high-tier blueprint designs.

With two days left in the Survival Game, Xu Lang dismissed Players’ complaints while the Frost Ghost King sent Frost Ghost Archmages to disrupt the dormitory defenses. Xu Lang’s Void Splitter destroyed the ancestral spirits, but one Archmage slipped into the shrine at Dormitory 200.

• Xu Lang woke to find 154 Players remained and brushed off complaints that he was taking their monster resources, while Wang Yazhi defended his group’s use of them.

• Xu Lang learned the Archmages’ abilities and used the Void Splitter to destroy those approaching the Tenth Floor, enraging the Frost Ghost King.
• When Dormitory 200 left one Archmage unhit, the Frost Ghost King urged it closer, and the Archmage flew into the shrine.

As monsters and extreme cold overwhelmed the Dormitory Building, Xu Lang upgraded Sixth Sense and took Tong Qi outside to capture Frost Ghost Archmages. Dormitory 200 cleared three monster waves with ease, leaving Xu Ruyan determined to join them.

Xu Lang sold wolf pelts for a record price while Tong Qi tried to subdue the Frost Ghost Archmage. After two failed attempts, she captured him by weakening him with incense and boosting her mental power with cola.

Tong Qi subdued two Frost Ghost Archmages, while Zhang Dahai revealed that his Edgewalker Sequence was a powerful D-3 ability that made him stronger when isolated.

• A monster battered Xu Lang’s Superalloy Steel Gate, and Xu Lang fired three Void Splitter shells through it when it struck.
• The monster survived the shots, leading Xu Lang to suspect it had powerful vitality or the ability to regenerate.

Xu Lang faced the level-eight Frost Ghost King as the BOSS attacked Dormitory 200’s gate. After nearly killing him with the Void Splitter, Xu Lang turned to the Army-Breaking Heavy Crossbow while the frenzied Frost Ghost King rushed the entrance.

• The Frost Ghost King froze Dormitory 200’s turrets and ordered his guards to attack, while Xu Lang and the others assessed his strength.
• Xu Lang used Ghost Peek to draw the Frost Ghost Guards into a charge, then hit the Frost Ghost King with splitter rounds and left him near death.

• Wu Huihui offered help, but Xu Lang declined and refused Tong Qi’s suggestion to open the door and fight.
• Xu Lang moved to test the Army-Breaking Heavy Crossbow as the Frost Ghost King’s frenzy grew and he attacked the gate with ice swords.

Xu Lang killed the Frost Ghost King with the Thousand-Jun Dragon Hunting Crossbow, ending the assault on Dormitory 200 and easing the cold. The group collected the loot, including a Supreme Ice Vein and a Wealth Ring, while Xu Lang briefly revived the fallen boss with Corpse Refinement Art.

• Xu Lang took the Level 8 Wealth Ring, Tong Qi identified a map of the Southwestern Frozen Wasteland, and Xu Lang told the group to store it and inventory the remaining supplies.

After the final monster wave, Xu Lang’s group counted their enormous haul and chose to sell their low-level equipment while Xu Lang stayed in the dormitory. Elsewhere, Li Shuwen killed the Frost Ghosts’ Grand Elder and escaped with Zhang Dahai, while Zhou Daha hid beneath a lake as Polar Night fell.

• Zhou Daha left his dormitory after his disastrous investment, and other Players chased him while Wang Ao collapsed after losing his money.
• Xu Lang’s group counted a hundred thousand Copper Coins and a mountain of equipment, then Xu Lang assigned Tong Qi to sell the surplus.
• Xu Lang stayed inside rather than risk a building sweep, while Players who attacked the Frost Ghost lair were driven back.
• Li Shuwen ambushed and killed the Frost Ghost Grand Elder, took his drops, and escaped through a tunnel with Zhang Dahai.

• Zhou Daha hid underwater at Rust Lake Park, hoping to survive Polar Night until he could switch dormitories, but bubbles surfaced from the lake as Polar Night descended.

Xu Lang learned that the awakened Pureblood Vampire Julian had begun attacking Dormitory 200 and fought to keep him out. As Julian continued his assault, Xu Lang upgraded the room’s gate into a Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Xu Lang read an Intel Note identifying Julian as a Pureblood Vampire who awakened every seven cycles and drained 33 people before returning to sleep.
• Yu Yang and the Players in Dormitory 178 believed Julian would kill Xu Lang and planned to loot his equipment afterward.
• Xu Lang placed a Frostflame Torch outside Dormitory 200, saw Julian destroy it, and learned that Julian was a Level 8 vampire with five skills.

• As Cao Yaxuan warned that their repair materials were nearly gone, Xu Lang spent 1200 Nightmare Coins to upgrade the gate into a Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door.

Xu Lang’s traps and weapons badly wounded Julian, but the vampire escaped as a swarm of bats before Xu Lang could kill him. After returning to the corridor, Julian became convinced that killing Xu Lang would let him become a noble and charged at Dormitory 200 again.

• Julian paused under an unusual force and was struck by the turrets, Xu Lang’s upgraded Blood Plague Grenade, and his Flame Dragon and silver bullets.

• Xu Lang stepped out of Dormitory 200 and taunted Julian, causing Julian to charge at him again.

Xu Lang killed Pureblood Vampire Julian, ending the third game round early. The Dormitory Building then underwent a major expansion, and Xu Lang discovered that the Ghost Child had begun evolving.

The Mad King Dormitory Building offered seven traits for Players to vote on, and Xu Lang considered the options while the Chat Room argued. Share Honor and Disgrace won, upgrading every Level 0 dormitory to Level 1 as the next game period was announced for 7 days and 23 hours later.

• Xu Lang saw the seven trait choices and judged Share Honor and Disgrace especially powerful because it could help the top fifty landlords upgrade their dormitories.
• Players debated the choices in the Chat Room, where Nouveau Riche initially led as lower-level Players supported its immediate rewards.
• Wang Yazhi invited Xu Lang to the Tenth Floor group chat, where Wu Huihui and the other Players asked what trait he favored.
• Li Shuwen asked Xu Lang to name his preferred trait, and Xu Lang said Bloodthirst was good, briefly uniting Players against choosing it.

• The dormitory broadcast said third-period leaderboard rewards would arrive in three minutes and the fourth game period would begin in 7 days and 23 hours.

• Xu Lang learned that the rest period had been extended and discovered new turret modes and tenant privileges.
• The Dormitory Broadcast distributed leaderboard rewards, giving Xu Lang a dormitory upgrade chance, a facility, a Progenitor's Manuscript, a Polar Night Domain skill scroll, free attributes, and a backpack upgrade.

• Xu Lang examined Julian's Pureblood Blood Crystal, which granted a vampire bloodline, and a Storage Room Blueprint that preserved stored items' durability.

Xu Lang learned the Blood Pact skill from a Pureblood Blood Crystal and tested its powerful physical enhancements. Since the Supreme Ice Vein conflicted with his new skill, he gave it to Cao Yaxuan.

• Shirley proposed learning Blood Pact and selling the remaining Blood Crystals, but Wang Yazhi and Tong Qi could not use the skill because it conflicted with their abilities.
• Xu Lang absorbed a Pureblood Blood Crystal, learned Blood Pact, and demonstrated his greatly enhanced speed and strength.
• Xu Lang declined to spend resources on an Advanced Blood Crystal for Shirley, deciding it was not necessary yet.
• Xu Lang found that the Supreme Ice Vein conflicted with Blood Pact, and Tong Qi and Wang Yazhi could not use it either.
• Xu Lang teased Cao Yaxuan before handing her the Supreme Ice Vein, and she happily embraced and kissed him.

Cao Yaxuan tested her newly upgraded Supreme Frost Aura while Xu Lang equipped his group with Frost Sets and listed surplus gear for sale. After managing their post-round supplies, Xu Lang began upgrading the dormitory and found six appealing layouts.

• Cao Yaxuan demonstrated Supreme Frost Aura's freezing power, and Xu Lang found that its stamina cost was low for its strength.
