Chapter 34: Three Palus are in place

As night deepened, Wang Yazhi's mood gradually grew tense.

The tenant's position had already been given to her.

Now she could stay unrestrainedly in this dorm room with two Swift Repeating Crossbows and a two-level door.

But she couldn't quite feel happy about it, feeling extremely anxious.

"I'm making it seem like I'm being coerced."

"In the end, it just makes Xu Lang and the others unhappy, and me unhappy too."

"Yazhi, you don't need to be like this. Since you've already made the decision, just live on properly..."

After some internal struggle in her mind, Wang Yazhi pretended to yawn and said to Xu Lang, "Xu Lang, when are we going to sleep? I'm a bit tired."

"Oh, then you go ahead and sleep first. Turn the faucet in the washroom to the right for hot water." Xu Lang nodded.

"No." Xu Lang shook his head, then explained, "We all sleep during the day and stay awake at night. You go ahead and sleep, it's fine."

If he went to sleep now, wouldn't his jet lag adjustment be wasted? Besides, if he slept too much, he really couldn't guarantee he'd be able to fall asleep again when the Nightmare Cot refreshed after its cooldown.

"Yeah, Sister Wang, you go ahead and sleep first." Tong Qi smiled.

"Then I'm really going to sleep." Although Wang Yazhi's tone carried some hesitation, she still headed toward the washroom.

The sound of running water echoed through the room.

Xu Lang's Copper Coins were also steadily decreasing.

A few hundred Copper Coins were still too few.

After some thought, Xu Lang went to organize some supplies, then contacted Wu Huihui.

Several minutes later, the miscellaneous tasks before Xu Lang and one Iron Door blueprint had completely disappeared.

With over a thousand Copper Coins added to his account, Xu Lang immediately felt a sense of security.

Blueprints were no longer rare now, and when blueprints weren't scarce, materials became particularly precious.

The bulk of what he had just traded were raw materials he didn't need, followed by the Iron Door blueprint and Zhou Tao's room key.

He'd let Wu Huihui handle opening Zhou Tao's mystery box, since he didn't want to leave the dorm anyway.

"So, Xu Lang, how much did you sell for?" Cao Yaxuan asked with keen interest.

"Fifteen hundred." Xu Lang smiled.

Cao Yaxuan let out a long sigh of relief. "I thought you might sell it cheap to Wu Huihui."

Tong Qi chuckled. "Sister Cao, are you afraid Brother Lang will have his soul stolen by Sister Wang?"

During dinner, Wang Yazhi had mentioned this matter.

Wu Huihui and the others were desperately short on raw materials and had asked if Xu Lang had any extras.

"Not at all." Cao Yaxuan rolled her eyes. "I was just worried he'd sell it too cheaply."

Cao Yaxuan thought of Sigma Xu Lang.

During the first couple of days when she arrived, she had been thoroughly tormented by him.

While he might be lustful, Xu Lang had never been the type to think with his little head in her estimation.

When Wang Yazhi finished washing up and came out, seeing Xu Lang and the other two still sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but ask, "Where should I sleep?"

Tong Qi raised her index finger, making a shushing gesture, then pointed toward the Nightmare Cot.

A flicker of curiosity passed through Wang Yazhi's eyes. Instead of going straight to the bed, she sent a private message to Tong Qi.

Then she learned what everyone was doing.

Xu Lang was meditating, while Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were watching Xu Lang meditate.

Wang Yazhi moved closer and discovered Xu Lang lazily leaning against the sofa, eyes closed, breathing steady, looking like an old monk in deep meditation.

Meditation?

What was this?

She'd heard that Xu Lang had bought the most expensive skill, and its name seemed to be Meditation.

Immediately, she continued private messaging Tong Qi.

The two women began chatting away.

Back when Xu Lang couldn't sleep before, he had also tried meditating using a technique called the Pilot's Sleep Method.

It was the Pilot's Sleep Method!

Not the Airplane Sleep Method!!!

Originally developed for U.S. military pilots during service, it gradually spread and gained significant popularity.

It basically involved relaxing the body and then imagining things like sunny beaches and white clouds.

That was normal meditation.

But the skill Meditation was completely different from the meditation Xu Lang had previously understood.

When he activated Meditation, Xu Lang's perception of the external world instantly became dull, with all his mental energy focused on the changes within his body.

The rhythm of his pulse, the sound of blood flowing, the subtle movements of his internal organs—all these entered his sensory world one by one, making him feel incredibly peaceful and serene, experiencing a wonderful sensation of listening to his own bodily rhythms.

It was worth mentioning that skills could also be enhanced using Nightmare Coins!

And the prices weren't outrageously expensive either!

Time passed slowly. Xu Lang didn't even notice when Cao Yaxuan and the others gradually went to bed.

It wasn't until the sun rose the next morning that he slowly opened his eyes.

Strangely enough, although the dorm rooms in the Dorm Survival Game were completely enclosed, whenever daytime arrived, sunlight would appear inside the room.

Wang Yazhi had slept early, and when Xu Lang opened his eyes, she woke up simultaneously.

"Sister Wang, come, join me for morning exercise." Xu Lang beckoned.

Xu Lang and the other two had grown accustomed to sleeping during the day, but although Wang Yazhi hadn't slept like this before, she still had some trouble falling asleep.

Fortunately, she wasn't completely without things to do.

The girls on the tenth floor were voraciously consuming gossip, and she couldn't keep up with all the replies.

Moreover, Wu Huihui and the others had swept the floors and found quite a few good items, providing plenty of topics to discuss.

As she chatted, Wang Yazhi began to feel sleepy.

Not many people had been sleeping well these past few days, and she was no exception.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Although the small bed was cramped, it also felt very reassuring.
