"Yay, I finally made it to tenth place!" In room 186, Wu Huihui cheered excitedly.

She wasn't just celebrating reaching the top ten.

She was also thrilled about her wise decision-making, feeling completely confident inside.

Considering Xu Lang's influence, she hadn't upgraded her door during rest time, instead using all her resources to enhance attack facilities.

Now room 186 had two level three turrets and one level four spring-loaded fist turret. The latter was the single-target turret with the highest damage output from the previous round's shop. Though its attack speed was slow, it came with high burst damage and knockback effects, often taking out frost ghost soldiers in one hit!

Xu Lang carried too much Blood Grudge. The monster waves pushed forward relentlessly, filling any gap that appeared, and gaps appeared incredibly fast, leaving no time to attack other dorm rooms.

"Huihui, you're so brilliant!" Nie Xiaozhu felt happy for her friend.

Wang Tingting was also overjoyed. If Wu Huihui was strong, then they were strong too.

"Come on, come on, let's go support the other floors quickly!" Wu Huihui couldn't wait to leave the room.

The tenth floor had relatively special terrain with twenty-one dorm rooms total. The previous strength rankings were 200, 180, and 159.

This round, Xu Ruyan, concerned about having her younger sister with her, purchased large quantities of door repair materials instead of upgrading turrets.

One move behind in the strategy.

She might fall further behind in the future, eventually being overtaken by Wu Huihui!

"Brr, it's so cold, Huihui!" Nie Xiaozhu shivered as soon as she stepped out the door.

"Definitely." Wu Huihui shivered too.

"The indoor temperature has actually dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius!" In room 200, Tong Qi looked at the thermometer in surprise.

"Could it be dropping five degrees every day?" Cao Yaxuan did a quick calculation and exclaimed, "If that's the case, by the seventh day, wouldn't it be minus thirty degrees?!"

During peaceful times, even without air conditioning, people could manage by wearing down jackets.

But this was a survival game with scarce resources. Even fleece-lined clothes were rare, let alone down jackets.

During rest time, the supermarket did sell down jackets, but they were quite expensive, and nobody showed interest at the time.

"The colder it gets, the more expensive wolf pelts become, plus we can hide under blankets. This is actually good news," Sherry said cheerfully.

Xu Lang glanced at the girl.

Truly inheriting that Caucasian bloodline, she'd make a great capitalist.

Xu Lang opened the chat room to check the situation and found many people had already started lighting fires for warmth.

Not everyone had a cozy little bed to snuggle in. Unless they were expert players, most players weren't willing to upgrade their small beds. They usually just returned home after clearing floors and collapsed straight to sleep.

"Should we start selling wolf pelts now?" Cao Yaxuan frowned as she asked.

Wolf pelt prices were already rising in the market.

Wang Yazhi shook her head. "Wolf pelts are rare, unlike last time's porcelain. There shouldn't be any risk of getting stuck with unsold inventory."

What she meant was that the later they waited, the higher the prices would climb.

Wang Yazhi continued, "But there's another factor to consider—whether players will still have copper coins in the later stages!"

If they didn't harvest the leeks now, there might be no leeks left to harvest later when people ran out of money.

"Let's start selling tomorrow," Xu Lang pondered for a moment before speaking.

Room 77.

A man wearing sunglasses, dressed in a suit and tie with slicked-back hair, spoke eloquently:

"Retail investors are like that—they only need to think about when to buy and when to sell!"

"But market makers have much more complex considerations, like whether retail investors will have any money left on the final day, and if not, whether they have equipment to mortgage!"

"If they really have nothing, they can consider taking out loans. That's how I built my fortune!"

Zhou Daha had been a financial professional in peaceful society, deeply versed in the art of harvesting leeks.

Perhaps because he had harvested too many leeks in his original dorm building and offended people, he brought his original team to the Mad King Dormitory Building, quickly building his wealth through snowballing and claiming to be the second richest person after Xu Lang.

Currently, room 77 was packed with over thirty people, all listening to Zhou Daha's speech.

"Everyone, the money-making opportunity has arrived!"

"Right now on the Trading Network, cold protection items are disappearing one by one, and prices keep climbing higher!"

"As long as everyone works with me to control the market, then the entire Mad King Dormitory Building with over a hundred player households will become our piggy banks!"

"One trading round, and I can make all of you skyrocket!"

Everyone looked at each other with varied expressions.

These players invited by Zhou Daha were all quite capable with decent experience. Hearing Zhou Daha's pitch, they felt the plan seemed feasible.

If they could truly control the cold protection market, wealth would surely come pouring in.

"Tell us then, how do you plan to do this?" a fierce-looking player asked.

The whole group stared greedily at Zhou Daha, as if they could smell opportunity in the air.

Zhou Daha smiled calmly and confidently:

"To control the market, the first step is capital pooling and coordinated operations!"

"Everyone transfers their funds to me—I have professional traders here!"

"I promise 15% returns on the first day, 30% on the second day, 60% on the third day... and on the final day, I guarantee everyone at least triples their investment!"

"You can withdraw your funds anytime during the process!"

Everyone felt tempted upon hearing this.

Anyone could see that cold protection items were a golden opportunity.

But they felt uncertain about exactly when to sell and when to buy, and also feared getting stuck with unsold inventory.

Handing their money to Zhou Daha seemed like a good option.

After all, he had made commitments. If he dared to cheat them... he would have thoroughly offended all thirty-plus of them!

Even if Zhou Daha was a floor leader, he would have no life to enjoy any ill-gotten gains.

"Alright, Brother Daha, I trust you—all in!"

If they didn't harvest the leeks now, there might be no leeks left to harvest later when people ran out of money.

"It's time for the fourth floor to rise up!"

The crowd grew excited, everyone enthusiastically signing up and transferring funds to Zhou Daha.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Daha's lips curled into a smile.

With sufficient capital flow, he could drive cold protection item prices sky-high, then harvest brutally on the final day!

This round, this round is the stock market legend entering the survival game—total domination!
