Chapter 117: Zero Number, Run! Your Dorm Building Is Haunted!

Midnight arrived, and the Polar Night descended.

"Ah... no more pleasant cooperation with Dahai." Xu Lang sighed.

At this moment, he held a silver bullet in his hand.

Unfortunately, such opportunities probably wouldn't come again.

Some clever players, after learning he had eliminated all the vampires, had started exploring outside.

The Dorm Survival Game never lacked bold, action-oriented people, making someone like Xu Lang who preferred lying low quite the anomaly.

You couldn't exactly expect a multimillionaire to go do manual labor, could you?

"Xu Lang, maybe we should go out and scavenge for supplies too." Cao Yaxuan licked her lips and spoke up.

Xu Lang glanced sideways at her:

"You really are restless."

"First, you're not going out, so there's no 'we'."

"Second, it's too dangerous outside. Floor sweeping isn't as productive as my cultivation."

Cao Yaxuan looked blank for a moment, then a flicker of recollection passed through her eyes.

She remembered, she remembered, she remembered everything now!

There was a time when Xu Lang had spoken to her like this, back before Tong Qi and the others were around.

Was the cautious, low-key version of Xu Lang about to make a comeback?

"Then I'm going to lie down!" Cao Yaxuan scurried over to the large bed and obediently laid down.

"I'm coming too. I've been sleeping so much these past few days, I feel completely numb from it." Sherry ambled closely behind, using rather formal language.

Tong Qi jingled her bell, commanding ten little ghosts to carry her to the bed.

Theoretically, when the little ghosts touched a target, they would apply the "Maiming" skill, but Tong Qi could now freely control when these Ghost Pets used their skills.

On the path of the Ghost Controller, Tong Qi had remarkable talent.

Cao Yaxuan watched with envy, muttering under her breath, "I want a Sequence too. Xu Lang, when are you going to get one for me?"

"You think Sequences are as common as cabbage?!" Xu Lang retorted irritably.

"But I really want one~" Cao Yaxuan immediately started wriggling like a caterpillar, whining and grumbling.

Xu Lang ignored her and began cultivating with Wang Yazhi.

Wang Yazhi's Green Lotus Qi Cultivation Technique wasn't rigid about form—it could even be practiced lying down—but she didn't go to the bed, as that would distract her. Instead, she wrapped herself in two wolf pelts and sat upright on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Xu Lang went to the study to practice the Dragon Elephant Combat Method.

"Two workaholic grinders." Cao Yaxuan gritted her teeth, then grabbed Tong Qi in a hug.

"Don't, Sister Ya!"

"Let me take a look!"

After completing a set of fist techniques, Xu Lang began Meditation. Feeling a slight headache, he drank some water to rest, then continued practicing his fist techniques.

He repeated this cycle until 7 AM.

In total, the Dragon Elephant Combat Method had already increased his physique by seven points, which was quite excellent.

"Finally broke through twenty spirit points." Xu Lang casually conjured a two-meter-long fire dragon that coiled around his body.

Whoosh... he finally felt a bit warmer.

Xu Lang rubbed his hands together, breathed out a puff of warm mist, and stepped out of the study.

"Xu Lang, why do you have special effects on?" Cao Yaxuan, who had just woken up from her sleep, happened to see Xu Lang surrounded by the dragon flames.

"My spirit attribute broke through 20 points. I'm testing how long the dragon flames can last." Xu Lang replied.

Spirit-based spells were quite peculiar, like the Fire Dragon Technique.

The farther the fire dragon was, the harder it was to maintain; the closer it was, the easier to control. Its form wasn't as rigid as skills in online games either—it could be altered in many ways according to the user's will.

"I see... I'm not jealous at all!" Cao Yaxuan turned her back to Xu Lang, her entire body radiating laziness, like a college student returning home for the New Year.

Seeing this, Xu Lang shook his head, feeling that Cao Yaxuan was becoming more and more like a little pig.

He should find a cultivation method for Cao Yaxian to practice someday, otherwise he felt she might develop a little belly.

What would he do if she got fattened up?

"Xu Lang, the radio is turned on." Wang Yazhi sat by the tea table, her gaze directed at Xu Lang.

"Connect to the channel." Xu Lang nodded.

Rainy Night Blade: "Only you few this morning? Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else!"

The rapid-fire speech in that Mature Male Voice was particularly headache-inducing.

Midnight Fierce Zero: "No one else, Brother Blade."

Rainy Night Blade: "Looks like it's my teaching session today. You'll drain me dry sooner or later, tsk tsk... If you have questions, ask away."

Midnight Fierce Zero: "First, who is Hundred Ton King?"

Xu Lang listened quietly. Even Midnight Fierce Zero didn't know this Hundred Ton King, likely a newcomer.

"Xu Lang, bring the radio over here, we want to listen too." Cao Yaxuan called out.

Xu Lang felt somewhat speechless. Seeing all three women looking eagerly in his direction, he carried the radio over.

Wang Yazhi followed as well, and the five of them sat circled on the bed.

According to Rainy Night Blade, Hundred Ton King was a second-cycle player who had just accessed the radio station last night, a complete newbie among newbies.

Hundred Ton King was currently introducing himself. His voice had a somewhat comical quality, fast and energetic with a bit of cadence, like a vigorous young man.

Hundred Ton King: "Greetings, esteemed experts! I'm a national highway trainee with two and a half years of practice, skilled at fatigued driving, drifting, and traffic jams. My favorite thing is sending others to another world. Thank you, everyone!"

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Your name and introduction are both pretty bizarre."

Hundred Ton King: "Because I was killed by a hundred-ton truck, that's why I came to the Dorm Survival Game."

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Oh? Is this a new recruitment method for the survival game?"

Hundred Ton King: "Not sure, but I'm quite grateful to the survival game. Otherwise, I'd be dead."

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Damn, you're the only person I've seen, besides those maniacs, who actually thanks the survival game."

Xu Lang stroked his chin, thinking Hundred Ton King really came out ahead—getting a life for free. Who wouldn't like that?

Rainy Night Blade: "Alright, I don't have much time today. If you have questions, ask them quickly."

Zero Number: "Expert, I've encountered an extreme cold environment instance here. First day was minus five degrees, second day minus ten degrees, third day minus thirty degrees... I've stockpiled some cold-proof supplies. Do you have any good financial advice?"

Rainy Night Blade: "First, tell me why it suddenly dropped to minus thirty degrees on the third day."

Zero Number: "There's one with an unknown level..."

Rainy Night Blade: "Oh, that overpowered monster you mentioned before, right? Environmental instance plus an overpowered monster, interesting."

Midnight Fierce Zero interjected: "And it's a dual environment instance. The other environment is 'Polar Night'."

Rainy Night Blade: "Hiss~ Really?"

Zero Number: "Yes!"

Rainy Night Blade: "You asked me before about dorm building unsealing, so your dorm building must have opened recently, and you probably haven't changed dorm buildings... Zero Number, run! Your dorm building is haunted!"
