Chapter 36: An old player appears, and his target is Xu Lang!

"Xu Lang, quick, look at the chat room!" Cao Yaxuan exclaimed in alarm.

Xu Lang was momentarily stunned, then quickly opened the chat room to check, immediately clicking on Liu Quan's personal information.

A three-cycle player!

Xu Lang's brow furrowed deeply.

A player with two cycles more experience had actually appeared directly.

Right at this moment, the chat room was buzzing with activity.

Xu Lang's brow furrowed deeply.

This guy had immediately targeted him upon arrival.

"Lang Ge, what should we do?" Tong Qi asked with a tense expression.

This veteran player didn't seem like a good person, and with such arrogant demeanor, he must have some backing.

"Let him come if he wants," Xu Lang said calmly.

Tong Qi felt slightly reassured.

Cao Yaxuan said angrily, "Perfect timing! The repeating crossbow has no targets to attack anyway—when he comes, we'll shoot him dead!"

Wang Yazhi's eyes showed worry.

Although players hadn't directly confronted each other before, a three-cycle player's physical attributes definitely weren't something ordinary people could compare to. He probably had many strange and mysterious items too.

Xu Lang's eyes flashed with understanding.

Now he understood why Liu Quan had immediately tried to undermine Wang Ao—it was to build up his own influence.

This kind of person was more troublesome than mindless madmen!

On the third-floor corridor, more than ten players had gathered.

The brutal Dorm Survival Game made them desperately crave higher authorities—seniors, guides—much like humanity's tendency to create idols.

Seeing only this few players had come, Liu Quan frowned and said, "No one else?"

"Quan Ge, probably not. Most players are on the tenth floor," Sun Heng said, rubbing his hands together with a smiling expression.

Some people didn't even know how to properly flatter, resorting to clumsy compliments.

"Quan Ge, you look really majestic and extraordinary."

This great deity could genuinely help them survive—a little bootlicking was nothing.

Liu Quan touched his unkempt beard, his expression strange, and said, "Alright, enough flattery. Follow me to the tenth floor."

"Quan Ge, are you going to rob Xu Lang? He has a gun, so be careful," a male student said with a fawning smile.

"Guns are generally level two weapons—not that impressive," Liu Quan shook his head indifferently.

As the group talked, they headed toward the tenth floor.

During this time, many people spilled all of Xu Lang's secrets, practically selling him out completely, afraid that speaking too late wouldn't catch Liu Quan's attention.

"Xu Lang is extremely lustful—he has three beauties at home!"

"Xu Lang has a Steel Door, plus two Swift Repeating Crossbows!"

"Xu Lang bought Meditation..."

Liu Quan waved his hand: "What are the prices of the most expensive items in each of the five supermarket sections?"

A bushy-browed male student quickly said, "I know this! The most expensive item in the goods section is a level four battle axe, priced at 19,999 Copper Coins. The facilities section..."

After listening to the description, Liu Quan stared at this person and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Liu Qiang! We share the same surname, Quan Ge!" the bushy-browed student said with a cheerful laugh.

Liu Quan nodded meaningfully: "Your intelligence gathering ability is quite good. Come be my tenant later."

Liu Qiang was overjoyed.

Liu Quan continued: "Let me tell you a little trick—the most expensive items that refresh in the supermarket after each game cycle usually offer the best value. Buying them means you're profiting."

"Heh, but we don't have that much money," Liu Qiang chuckled.

Liu Quan shook his head:

"That's a problem with your gameplay approach."

"How to save money, how to farm monsters—I'll teach you all these later!"

"Now tell me what items you've found these past two days. Don't hide anything."

Liu Qiang's expression showed hesitation.

There were too many miscellaneous items—he didn't know where to start.

Liu Quan said seriously: "Mention some more distinctive items. Because the attributes of items you find during rest periods often relate to the content of the next game cycle!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately began chattering with additional information.

Liu Quan's expression remained calm until he heard about the "Red Sleeve Shoes" and "Red Lantern" items, at which point his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

"Quan Ge, what's wrong?" Liu Qiang, sharp-eyed, noticed Liu Quan's unusual reaction and immediately showed concern, as if Liu Quan were his delicate wife.

"Nothing. It's only the second day—the characteristics aren't obvious yet. The game features will gradually become clearer later," Liu Quan took a deep breath and said solemnly.

He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking.

Red Sleeve Shoes, Red Lantern—they inevitably made people think of Chinese-style horror.

Liu Qiang gave his characteristic chuckle again and asked, "Quan Ge, could you tell us how you came to our dormitory building?"

"The Survival Game has diverse gameplay methods, and items will become more varied too. You'll understand when you reach later stages—transferring between dormitory buildings isn't particularly difficult," Liu Quan explained impatiently.

The others fell silent as well.

Because they had reached the tenth floor.

In room 200, Xu Lang knew Liu Quan was bringing people up, his expression grave.

This might be the biggest crisis he'd encountered since entering the Dorm Survival Game.

Over ten people, plus a veteran player—a single Steel Door definitely couldn't withstand them!

Right at this moment, a private message popped up.

Xu Lang's furrowed brow relaxed slightly as he closed the private message notification.

At a time like this, even Wu Huihui, who had better relations with him, hadn't spoken up, let than Wang Ao—completely untrustworthy.

Previously, he and Wang Ao had been at sword-point with each other, and now Wang Ao was suddenly proposing cooperation.

The audacity...

To be honest, this kind of person might be the most suitable player for the Dorm Survival Game.

Xu Lang and the three women nervously watched the surveillance screen.

When they saw Liu Quan actually bringing a group of people into the surveillance range, Cao Yaxuan immediately followed Xu Lang's previous instructions and went to activate the automatic attack mode of the Swift Repeating Crossbow.
