Chapter 29: The supermarket has arrived and Xiaomei can be recruited again

"Damn! Brother Wang, are we really just going to let this go?" In dorm room 33, a dark-skinned young man looked at Wang Ao and spoke.

At this moment, all of Wang Ao's underlings had gathered in the dorm room.

Although dorms theoretically didn't allow others to stay, it was fine as long as it didn't exceed one hour.

"Of course we can't just let this go!" Before Wang Ao could speak, another person shouted aggressively.

"Shut the hell up, all of you! If you're so brave, why didn't you charge forward earlier!" Wang Ao roared angrily.

The group immediately fell silent.

Wang Ao knew this matter absolutely couldn't end so easily. Once authority was lost, it would be hard to lead the team.

Wang Ao took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We need to plan this carefully. That pistol of his is just too overpowered!"

One underling muttered, "Brother Wang, didn't you awaken a fire-breathing ability?"

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

"For now, we can only think of ways to ambush him, catching him by surprise." Wang Ao continued, "But the dorm building is only so big, with many eyes around. There's no guarantee someone won't tip him off."

The dark-skinned young man was truly confused, "Then what should we do?"

"Wait!" Wang Ao spat out one word.

Everyone looked puzzled, then saw Wang Ao give a contemptuous smile.

"Wait for an opportunity when Xu Lang comes out. I don't believe Xu Lang will never leave his room. With so many resources at the supply points, can he resist? As long as we seize one opportunity, I can take his life!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

This was a good plan.

In dorm room 200, Xu Lang was sound asleep.

Having just finished the battle, he felt somewhat tired.

To be honest, he had never been this strong before, so he had played quite enthusiastically.

Moreover, he felt his driving skills were getting better and better, occasionally pulling off drifts and extreme vehicle changes without any problem.

Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were also sleeping soundly. The completely refreshed environment satisfied them greatly, and they even had smiles on their faces while sleeping.

After sleeping for who knows how long, Xu Lang woke up and immediately checked his gains.

Xu Lang had previously spent 200 Nightmare Coins to upgrade his Colt, leaving only 64 Nightmare Coins. Now after one sleep, his Nightmare Coins were trending toward breaking 200 again.

However, Xu Lang was somewhat dissatisfied with this progress.

"The basic Nightmare Coins from the Nightmare Cot are too few. Need to upgrade quickly, and also... I can recruit new beauties now!"

"Dammit! In the future, the first thing after upgrading the dorm should be recruiting girls. Like this time, being short by dozens of Nightmare Coins meant I couldn't upgrade the Nightmare Cot, so the snowball effect didn't roll!"

Xu Lang felt some regret, while simultaneously running through the appearances of female players in his mind, feeling that Wang Yazhi should best match his aesthetic preferences.

Her demeanor was dignified, her personality gentle, she had no scandals at school, and she had the scholarly air unique to third-year university students.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang didn't immediately send Wang Yazhi a private message. Instead, he glanced at the wall clock and, combined with the Nightmare Cot's cooldown time and game countdown, made a rough judgment of the current time.

"It's currently 5 PM. The game started at 6 PM. The Nightmare Cot's refresh time is 9 AM."

At this moment, the 14 hours in the 7 days and 14 hours game countdown had only one hour left.

These extra 14 hours were probably a reward for ending the game early.

Normally, the rest period might only be seven days.

Xu Lang got up and started exercising.

Exercising at this time definitely had no downsides, especially since he had ample food.

The improvement in constitution also enhanced his perception. Xu Lang felt he could exercise down to the subtle levels of his muscles, with excellent workout effects.

When there were still ten minutes until 6 PM, Xu Lang stopped and began wiping sweat and hydrating.

He had a premonition that something new would happen at 6 PM.

His prediction was correct. Tong Qi and the others were awakened from their drowsy state by the system broadcast.

"Supermarket!?" Cao Yaxuan's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this word.

"Lang Ge, it seems we can go out shopping now." Tong Qi looked at Xu Lang with some excitement.

Xu Lang nodded, "Get ready, prepare to go out."

At this moment, the chat room exploded.

Footsteps and shouts began echoing in the corridor, though it was far less lively than on the first day of the game.

Back then there were 400 people...

Now there were only about 50 people. Five people per floor was the maximum, with several floors completely empty.

The tenth and first floors had the most people.

Hearing the commotion outside, Cao Yaxuan and the other girl moved faster.

The supermarket was a symbol of civilization after all!

"Ding dong ding dong~"

The doorbell rang.

Xu Lang went to check and found Wu Huihui standing outside.

"What's up?" Xu Lang asked.

"Xu Lang, do you want to go to the supermarket together?" Wu Huihui asked.

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

Being too isolated wasn't good for survival. To prevent Wang Ao and his group from causing trouble, following the main group might be a good choice.

Of course, he also needed to be wary of Wu Huihui.

Xu Lang said to Cao Yaxuan and the other girl, "Clear out what needs to be cleared from your backpacks. We'll probably need to buy things at the supermarket."

"Okay!"

The two girls answered in unison.

"Hui Jie, when did you become so close with Xu Lang?" Wang Tingting asked curiously.

"Just able to talk, that's all." Wu Huihui shook her head.

The people surrounding her had noncommittal expressions upon hearing this, their minds turning over many questions.

Could Wu Huihui really be interested in Xu Lang?

If Wu Huihui became as strong as Xu Lang one day, would it be possible for her to recruit male consorts too? After all, Xu Lang was doing exactly that.

Not long after, Xu Lang came out, wearing a long knife at his waist but not carrying a gun.

But no one underestimated him because of this.

Xu Lang's dominance was already deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.

Before leaving, Xu Lang casually turned off the lights.

Turning on lights also required paying Copper Coins, though it was relatively cheap.

These expenses would be automatically deducted from him as the room owner.

The pressure of being the head of the household was immense.
