Chapter 45: Taking Stock of Gains, Copper Coins Break Ten Thousand Again

Hearing this broadcast, Thunderbolt cursed angrily, blasted several Vengeful Spirits away with a palm thunder strike, completely lost the will to continue fighting, turned around and entered his room with his four teammates.

A level two dormitory could accommodate four Tenants.

This meant Thunderbolt, as a Three-Cycle Player, had ranked in the top ten for at least two cycles!

This was completely different from that incompetent Liu Quan.

Just think about it - many people can't even make top ten twice in a row in a battle royale game, let alone in this terrifying Dorm Survival Game.

"What the hell is going on with that Xu Lang?!" Thunderbolt immediately messaged Jin Xin as soon as he returned to his dorm.

When he first transferred to the Mad King Dormitory Building and saw there were no veteran players from the fourth or fifth cycles, he had been ecstatic, considering first place as good as his. He never expected the disappointment to come so quickly.

There was a time when he dreamed of having beautiful women on both arms, but one round of the game completely shattered that dream.

Reproductive behavior was absolutely a luxury in the Dorm Survival Game, something ordinary people really couldn't afford.

Xu Lang's "hehe" response was purely instinctive.

Although the tenth floor monsters were gone, there were still urgent matters to handle.

The corridor outside was filled with drops!!!

"Let's go collect the items together!" Xu Lang called out, then rushed out of the dormitory headfirst.

If it were too far away, Xu Lang definitely wouldn't risk going out!

But this was right at his doorstep!

Not going out to collect would be an absolute waste.

Plus, there were no monsters now, players from the ninth floor couldn't come up temporarily, and he knew the people from dormitories 199 and 198 very well, so he wasn't worried at all.

Cao Yaxuan and the other two women were momentarily stunned, then hurriedly ran out the door and began gathering everything like a whirlwind.

One minute later, the dormitory door slammed shut.

The four of them looked at the spoils filling the entranceway, absolutely ecstatic.

"We hit the jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot!" Cao Yaxuan repeatedly stamped her pale, long legs on the ground, wearing denim shorts that made Xu Lang feel dizzy watching her.

"Hahaha, Lang Brother, I gained over two thousand Copper Coins just from circling around once." Tong Qi was bubbling with joy, her face practically splitting from smiling.

Wang Yazhi was more restrained, but still had a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, her delicate hands clasped behind her back as if forcibly suppressing her inner delight.

After all, in traditional culture, being too happy was considered getting carried away with success.

"Let's organize all the items." Xu Lang said with a smile.

They moved the miscellaneous spoils back to the living room and began taking inventory.

What was disappointing was that these Vengeful Spirits had poor drop rates. Aside from some food items, there was only one type of level zero item, with not a single item above level three.

This item dropped from Liu Quan's body. The supermarket also sold it, priced the same as Aiming at two thousand Copper Coins.

Afraid Xu Lang might be disappointed, Tong Qi said thoughtfully, "Lang Brother, with Ghost Child here, maybe we can just coast through this round without doing anything."

"Yes." Wang Yazhi nodded with a faint smile.

Neither woman was a killjoy, rarely showing discouragement. During their time together, they had never heard either of them complain.

"That would be best." Xu Lang nodded in response, his gaze fixed on a pile of small black-gray cloth fragments on the sofa.

Xu Lang collected all the Soul Fragments into his backpack and discovered there were actually over three hundred portions.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lang said to the three women, "Does anyone want these Soul Fragments? They're taking up my inventory space."

"Me." Tong Qi raised her hand.

She felt that among the four of them, she was the most useless. Being a mobile backpack was fine too - at least she was solving some trouble for the team.

To be honest, Xu Lang was quite fortunate to have found Cao Yaxuan and the other two women.

One was a wealthy socialite, active in high-end circles, never having to worry about life's struggles.

One was a pure female college student from the countryside, uncontaminated by the internet.

One was from a scholarly family with strict upbringing and dignified behavior.

All three women thought about how to reduce pressure on the team, avoiding internal conflicts.

If some internet-influenced female college students had come instead, they'd probably be filled with thoughts about men's rights, women's rights, abstract concepts, melancholy, freedom and such ideologies. Given time, they'd definitely cause trouble.

Xu Lang handed all the Soul Fragments to Tong Qi, then said, "Give me all your Copper Coins. If there's anything you want to buy, just tell me."

"Okay."

The three women responded, trading all their Copper Coins to Xu Lang.

The Silver Coin was a drop from Vengeful Spirit Zhou Tao.

When the game ended, he could try another lottery draw.

The veteran players had already mentioned that certain high-level items required Silver Coins to purchase.

But he felt the lottery would be more interesting.

Although the Survivor Set was level three, it was top-tier among level three items, with attributes that could rival level four items in the supermarket.

"Copper Coins are over ten thousand again... This must be what those veteran players call farming monsters."

Xu Lang pondered to himself.

The supermarket was closed during gameplay.

But this money could still be used for spending.

Xu Lang opened the Trading Network.

While collecting information from the chat room these past days, he had frequently browsed the Trading Network and was quite familiar with the prices.

However, when he skimmed through the items listed on the Trading Network again, he found that without exception, all items had increased in price.

Especially those items designed to deal with ghosts and monsters - their prices had at least tripled compared to before!

If it were Xu Lang, he definitely wouldn't sell if he had corresponding items.

But he also knew that he had this mindset because he wasn't lacking those small amounts.

Many wealthy people couldn't understand why someone would sacrifice their health for an extra two hundred in wages - but that was actually their only option among limited choices.

If they could just relax at home, who would want to go out and work?

"We still have over two hours of rest time. You should browse the Trading Network too." Xu Lang said to the three women with a smile.

"Okay." Cao Yaxuan's expression lit up with excitement.

From Xu Lang's tone, it sounded like he planned to buy things for them!

Xu Lang did indeed have that intention.

In this environment, a positive and optimistic mindset was very important.

To have external stability, internal cohesion must first remain unbroken.
