Chapter 39: Counting the Harvest, Old Players Are So Poor

Xu Lang opened his private messages and discovered that Ye Fan had indeed sent him a message five or six minutes ago.

After replying with a thank you, Xu Lang then opened his chat window with Wu Huihui.

Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned.

It seemed that because Dorm 57 was on the third floor, Wu Huihui didn't want it. After all, you couldn't move the main dorm door or defensive facilities up to the tenth floor, and forcibly dismantling them would be too wasteful.

As for selling it to Wang Ao...

This wasn't about being magnanimous or not—it mainly involved that revenge theory from before.

Just then, Wang Ao's avatar flashed, indicating he had sent a private message.

Xu Lang clicked to view it.

Xu Lang chuckled softly.

This bastard Wang Ao really knew how to swallow his pride.

Whatever, he had already killed one veteran player and intimidated the other small fries. There was no rush to kill Wang Ao.

Besides, Wang Ao was on the third floor and probably wouldn't come up to the tenth floor easily.

In Dorm 44, Wang Ao's face turned dark.

He had been too anxious earlier and had actually revealed his maximum price.

They were all newcomers—how could they have detailed financial plans? They had basically spent all their money on the first day they entered the supermarket.

The reason he had five thousand was mainly due to Floor Sweeping and robbery.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Ao directed his underlings to bring over supplies while initiating the trade with Xu Lang.

Looking at the Dorm 57 key in the other party's trade window, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

This was a veteran player's dorm!

He had gone to check out Dorm 57. Because Liu Quan was dead, information about his dorm could now be inspected.

The dorm door was a level two Steel Door, and the Attack Facilities were two level one water cannons.

Just the door alone was worth six thousand!

"Hurry up and bring all the stuff!" Wang Ao urged his underlings.

Soon, his trade window was filled with a pile of supplies.

On the other side, feeling it was about enough, Xu Lang clicked to confirm the trade.

Wang Ao immediately agreed, and a key appeared in his hand.

"Haha!" He laughed heartily for a moment, then suddenly noticed his now-empty dorm and couldn't help but curse, "Fuck your mother! Now I'm even short on food!"

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, he quickly took his two underlings to Dorm 57 to open the treasure trove.

This Dorm 57 was really important to him.

Otherwise, his underlings wouldn't even have level one dorms, which made him lose face.

A large pile of supplies materialized out of thin air in Xu Lang's dorm, making the eyes of Cao Yaxuan and the other two women light up.

"These were obtained by trading Liu Quan's room key. You guys organize them; I'll check the value of his other items." Xu Lang smiled at the three women.

"Alright!" Tong Qi rolled up her sleeves.

Little Qiba had the potential of a hoarding squirrel—she was the most diligent when it came to organizing supplies.

Cao Yaxuan and Wang Yazhi also went to help, and soon Xu Lang had finished tallying up Liu Quan's assets.

One level three longsword, three level two throwing darts, two level two ghost-repelling talismans, and one blood-colored fragment of a map with an unknown purpose.

Aside from that, there were only a few hundred Copper Coins.

These veteran players didn't seem to have the habit of saving money either.

Xu Lang was greatly disappointed, feeling that Liu Quan was really poor.

If Liu Quan knew about this, he'd probably be so angry he'd resurrect just to protest.

Although he wasn't a top-tier expert, being called poor by a newcomer was still insulting!

It was truly because Xu Lang was too wealthy that Liu Quan seemed poor in comparison.

Except for the first two days, Xu Lang had been living like a nouveau riche for the following two days, living better than others even while lounging at home.

While others were still struggling desperately, he was at home eating self-heating hotpot with two great beauties.

"The total value of these items doesn't exceed six thousand, and without relevant skills, a longsword like this isn't as practical as a machete. It'll probably be hard to sell." Xu Lang stroked his chin as he calculated.

After thinking it over, he decided not to sell the weapon and instead let the three women use it.

He hadn't forgotten another matter.

That was—if everyone in his dorm ranked in the top ten of the Points Leaderboard, could they upgrade the dorm multiple times?

He began asking Xu Ruyan about this.

Xu Lang: "..."

This woman's intelligence gathering ability was damn strong—she had already figured out his background this quickly.

Although Xu Ruyan mocked him, she still shared the information she knew.

Xu Lang found this strange.

Xu Ruyan's response was simple and brutal.

With that, their conversation ended.

And Xu Lang had made a decision.

"Yazhi, come here." He beckoned to Wang Yazhi.

"What's up?" Hearing this, Wang Yazhi smoothed her white long dress and walked over.

Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi also looked over.

Xu Lang directly handed the longsword to Wang Yazhi. "This is a gift for you."

Wang Yazhi was stunned. She took the sword, realized it was a level three item, and immediately waved her hands in refusal. "No, no, no! This is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Even Wu Huihui had only just bought one level three weapon. How could she have such good equipment without having done anything?

"Hmm?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.

"Sister Yazhi, just accept it." Tong Qi said with a smile. "Xu Lang has given us weapons too."

"But this is a level three weapon!" Wang Yazhi clenched her fair, slender hands, feeling the pressure.

Cao Yaxuan immediately felt a bit jealous.

Just then, Xu Lang sent her a private message.

He sent the same message to Tong Qi.

Even though they had a good relationship, the issue of perceived fairness—where people worry less about having little and more about unequal distribution—still needed to be considered.

After sending the messages to the two women, Xu Lang said to Wang Yazhi, "If you take this sword, you need to be prepared to fight. If you just want to stay at home all the time, then forget it."

"Okay!" Hearing this, courage welled up in Wang Yazhi's heart, and she agreed.

She didn't want to just idle away her time, contributing nothing.

If the dorm door were ever really breached, she wanted to be able to do her part too.

"Give it a try." Xu Lang said with a smile.

Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi stopped organizing the supplies and ran over to watch Wang Yazhi wield the sword.

The sword's shadow drew sharp arcs of light through the air. It was incredibly sharp—ordinary Wood splintered upon the slightest contact.
