Chapter 80: Unexpected Event, Friends and Relatives Arrive

On the tenth-floor corridor entrance, Wang Yazhi was waiting for Xu Lang. Seeing the group come up, her gaze softened.

"Xu Lang, do you want to come gather at our dorm?" Wu Huihui said to Xu Lang.

"No need." Xu Lang shook his head, then gave Wu Huihui and Xu Ruyan two Level 2 items each.

To be honest, their assistance wasn't worth this price.

After all, even Xu Lang was currently only using a Level 2 weapon.

But if he gave them something too poor, they might not be willing to help him next time.

In the Dorm Survival Game, being abandoned by everyone was an outcome everyone was trying to avoid.

"My Ten Day Bells." Xu Lang looked at Xu Ruyan.

"You must have collected ten Ten Day Bells by now. These things probably aren't ordinary." Xu Ruyan gave Xu Lang a deep look before tossing over the Ten Day Bells.

"Okay." Wu Huihui nodded.

Watching Xu Lang turn and enter his room, Xu Ruyan frowned: "You might not survive the next round."

Xu Lang had too much Blood Grudge on him. Perhaps in the next game cycle, monsters from the ninth and eighth floors would come straight to Dorm 200 right from the start.

Xu Lang paused mid-step, then entered his dorm.

The corridor was lively, but Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan had been standing behind the Turret the whole time, not coming out.

This was Xu Lang's strict order to both of them.

Entering the dorm, Xu Lang breathed a huge sigh of relief, his tense heart finally settling.

"I thought you weren't nervous." Wang Yazhi teased.

Xu Lang shook his head: "Still not strong enough."

He had mentally classified people like Li Shuwen and Xu Ruyan as enemies, so the pressure felt immense.

"You're back!"

Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan came forward to greet them.

Seeing the slightly strange expressions on the two women's faces, Xu Lang looked down at his blood-stained body and said: "Need to wash up again."

"Give me your clothes, I'll handle it. You should sort through the loot first." Tong Qi showed a smile.

Xu Lang nodded, took off his Survivor Set and handed it to Tong Qi, then began taking stock of his gains.

Wang Yazhi had already collected all the items from Thunderbolt and the others.

First were the Copper Coins, totaling over forty thousand. Then there was a pile of Miscellaneous Items and equipment.

Xu Lang didn't fancy any of these items, so he said to Cao Yaxuan and the others: "Keep whatever you like from these. I'll put everything else on the Trading Network."

"Okay!"

The three women agreed in unison, their faces blooming with smiles.

The amount of stuff piled up in Xu Lang's place now was extremely, extremely, extremely abundant.

No helping it—he was just too good at killing monsters!

If he sold everything, Xu Lang's total Copper Coins might even approach three hundred thousand.

And this was just from one game cycle!

Truly, one cannot become wealthy without windfall gains.

"Xu Lang, have you chosen your fourth Tenant?" Tong Qi used a hairdryer to dry the Survivor Set, handed it to Xu Lang, and asked.

"Not that easy." Xu Lang shook his head.

His standards were high—he didn't really want anyone with less than 90 Comfort Level.

After thinking for a moment, he sent Xu Ruyan a private message.

Xu Lang could guarantee that if Xu Ruyan became his Tenant, the Comfort Level would absolutely skyrocket.

Forget what she looked like under that mask—just her figure alone was enough to give him trouble.

Unfortunately, she showed no intention of agreeing at all.

Xu Lang glanced at the clock—he wasn't in too much of a hurry anyway.

He had until 7 AM to make his selection.

Take it slow. If it really came down to it, he'd just have to make do.

Xu Lang cleared his mind and began practicing Meditation. After mental fatigue set in, he started cultivating the Dragon Elephant Combat Method.

It wasn't like no one had attacked him during the chaotic battle, but he had sent them all flying!

The increase in leg strength and defense was simply broken, even giving him the dangerous thought that he could clash with weapons head-on.

But with the Jade Burial Suit protecting him, it seemed like clashing head-on might actually be fine.

"Each generation has its talents. Being the Top Player twice in a row—this Xu Lang really has the makings of a dragon." In Dorm 49, Li Shuwen sighed with considerable emotion.

"I feel like his arrogance won't last much longer. He killed so many people during rest time." a female Tenant frowned.

Her name was Ning Mei, the longest-serving veteran player following Li Shuwen.

"I feel the same way." another square-browed middle-aged male Tenant nodded.

"Maybe we should take the initiative to intercept him first, to prevent him from dying for nothing in the next game cycle." another Tenant suggested.

"Ning Mei, what do you think?" Li Shuwen gave a gentle smile, looking at Ning Mei.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Mei shook her head: "Not advisable. When he killed Thunderbolt and the others, he didn't even use those bells that can summon monsters. He probably has many more trump cards. Plus, Wu Huihui and the others' attitudes are completely unknown. The risk of ambushing him is too great!"

Li Shuwen nodded, stating his principle for handling affairs: "Smart. Make as few enemies as possible!"

Everyone felt this was reasonable.

Ning Mei suddenly asked: "By the way, have any of you been paying attention to that Zhang Dahai? His main door seems to have upgraded to Level 3."

"Not sure what's going on there. We should keep an eye on him." the middle-aged Tenant replied.

Next, everyone began discussing other abnormal points, as well as intelligence about possible opportunities and dangers.

This was the ecosystem of a mature dorm.

Time slowly reached midnight. Li Shuwen stood up: "Let's go, do a round of Floor Sweeping outside then come back to sleep..."

Right at that moment, all the lights outside the dormitory building suddenly turned on, followed immediately by the Dormitory Broadcast.

Li Shuwen's expression changed dramatically in an instant. He rushed out of the room to see, on the open ground outside the dormitory building, player after player looking utterly bewildered, glancing at each other in confusion.

Seeing this scene, Li Shuwen suddenly became agitated.

Abruptly, his pupils contracted. Staring at a beautiful young woman among the newcomers, he shouted: "Wenwen!"

As soon as the Dormitory Broadcast sounded, the entire Mad King Dormitory Building seemed to experience an earthquake. Shouts of surprise and cries almost lifted the floor tiles.

In Dorm 200, both Cao Yaxuan and Wang Yazhi were extremely excited.

"My parents wouldn't have come, would they? I need to go see them!" Cao Yaxuan muttered excitedly, about to leave the dorm.

Xu Lang grabbed Cao Yaxuan's arm: "Let's go together."

He and Tong Qi were the calmest.

After all, their backgrounds were quite similar.

"Okay!" Cao Yaxuan took a deep breath, her face flushed.

After some quick preparations, the four of them went out.

Because they left later, the hallways weren't crowded along the way.

"Those newcomers don't seem to have been registered in the chat room. To become players, someone needs to take them in, or they need to have a Dormitory Key." Xu Lang walked at the front, his gaze alert.

These corridors were the easiest places to get ambushed.

"And they don't seem to have the Newcomer Gift Pack the dorm gives." Tong Qi frowned.

So they were burdens...

Xu Lang had also realized this. His gaze swept over Wang Yazhi and the other woman, seeing their excited expressions, and he gained a general understanding of the player group's mental state.

Even if they were burdens, no one would abandon their own relatives and friends!

The Dorm Survival Game was just too damn sneaky!
