Chapter 101: The Polar Night Arrives, A Conversation with Midnight Zero

Five minutes after all the monsters were eliminated, the dormitory broadcast sounded.

Outside the dormitory building, the Frost Ghost King retreated. Some daring players rushed forward and fiercely... smashed the Frost Ghost King's frost throne, then posted the material information in the chat room.

"My marble launcher only has the Advanced Power Unit as level 4, and this guy's throne material is level 4?!" Xu Lang exclaimed in disbelief after seeing the information.

Wang Yazhi's eyes held apprehension as she said, "I hope he doesn't come up... The players who challenged him earlier didn't last a single round before turning into ice sculptures."

"Why doesn't he come up?" Sherry looked confused, feeling that with the Frost Ghost King's strength, breaking through the door should be easy.

"Maybe he's wary of something." Tong Qi shook her head.

After a brief exchange, the five of them started discussing point farming.

"Lang Ge, your technique of hanging on the wall to snipe the Short Spear Throwers is amazing!"

"Sister Yazhi, your sword technique is so cool!"

"Did any of you get injured?"

The atmosphere in Dorm 200 was excellent, as they were chatting while counting their supplies - it was hard not to be happy.

After this round, Xu Lang's Copper Coins directly increased to 180,000, and he also obtained ten wolf pelts.

He didn't plan to sell the wolf pelts immediately, intending to hold onto them for a while until market sentiment improved for higher prices.

Players didn't know exactly when the Polar Night would descend, so some players hurried to go floor sweeping.

Xu Lang didn't plan to go out until he fully digested the gains from this game round.

Having five people in the top ten was quite conspicuous.

The intensity of competition between players during game time was far greater than during rest periods.

He did have some skills now, but if he got surrounded, survival wasn't guaranteed.

During the previous rest period, the best item he obtained was a level 4 weapon "Dragon Spring Sword," which was now in Cao Yaxuan's hands.

By that reasoning, it wouldn't be surprising if the entire campus produced several level 5 items in the previous round. If someone hit him hard with one of those, he'd really suffer.

Moreover, there was no guarantee that others wouldn't have "Sequences" - such BUG-like existences.

"In this dark forest, my torch burns the brightest..."

Xu Lang muttered to himself, but he didn't regret it.

Being reckless in the dorm was suicidal, but being a turtle hiding in its shell was even more suicidal.

Since he obtained two cultivation skills, he had less free time, generally alternating between the two skills while using high-quality food to replenish his energy, otherwise he couldn't keep up.

Only Xu Lang dared to play like this.

Others with high-quality ingredients used them during monster fights, wishing they had two mouths to eat each portion.

Just as Xu Lang was meditating, time quietly reached midnight.

Xu Lang opened his eyes.

Wang Yazhi also stopped her energy cultivation.

They exchanged glances, then simultaneously opened the chat room.

In the equipment room, Li Shuwen looked at the pitch-black environment before him, his face extremely grim as he shouted to his surroundings, "Are you all still here?"

"Still here!" a voice responded.

Li Shuwen felt slightly relieved: "If you have lighting, get it out quickly. This environment is too dangerous!"

After several attempts, they discovered that no lighting equipment worked.

The Polar Night seemed to be absolute darkness - you couldn't see anything!

Players began experiencing widespread panic.

Especially those players in the wilderness, who didn't know what to do.

Now they didn't even know how to return to their dorms!

This situation only eased when a player discovered that Frost Flame Torches could provide light.

Li Shuwen quickly contacted Li Wenwen in the dorm, asking her to trade over the Frost Flame Torch that had been treated as junk.

The ice-blue torch was lit, but the light it provided was less than ten centimeters.

Seeing this, Li Shuwen's expression still didn't look good.

This light was too weak.

"So that's what the Frost Flame Torch is for." In Dorm 200, Cao Yaxuan laughed.

"Lang Ge, should we sell them?" Tong Qi asked, holding a Frost Flame Torch.

"Not in a hurry." Xu Lang shook his head. "If we sell them now, we might not be able to buy them back later."

The lights in the room were on. He walked to the main door, opened it, and discovered that the light was swallowed up as soon as it passed through the doorway.

The outside world was completely dark!

Standing at the doorway felt like standing at the intersection of two different worlds!

Xu Lang quickly closed the door, then returned to the living room and turned on the radio.

He wanted to see if anyone on the radio knew how to deal with the Polar Night environment.

The Polar Night environment was much more eerie than the extreme cold, giving off a creepy feeling that even made him uneasy.

When he connected to the radio station, Xu Lang found no one there.

Although everyone was in different dormitory buildings, they were in the same time zone. Midnight was a delicate time period - everyone was probably busy.

Having just practiced the Dragon Elephant Combat Method and meditation, Xu Lang had plenty of time. He monitored the chat room while patiently waiting.

About ten minutes passed, and a prompt appeared on the radio.

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Oh, there really is someone here!"

Zero Number: "Big sister, do you know about the Polar Night environment?"

If Midnight Fierce Zero really was an old auntie, she should be happy to be called that...

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Hahaha~"

Cao Yaxuan, Wang Yazhi and the others shuddered and got goosebumps when they heard this charming yet happy laughter.

Midnight Fierce Zero: "You've asked the right person! Did the dorm broadcast also tell you that there are mysterious creatures in the Polar Night environment and that you should go out to capture them?"

Zero Number: "Yes, it seems you really know about this, beautiful. Could you give some guidance?"

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Haha, no problem! Last time, this old lady was badly tricked by that dorm broadcast. What mysterious creatures? They're actually high-drop-rate monsters, and they're damn powerful too!"

Zero Number: "Tell me more!"
