Chapter 97: The Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow, The Newly Appeared Playing Cards

As these options appeared, Xu Lang genuinely hesitated for a moment.

From what he knew, turrets capable of dealing true damage were extremely rare. If he missed this chance, he might not get another opportunity to obtain one in the future.

However, after hesitating briefly, he still chose the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow.

The reason was simple - hybrid damage turrets were equally rare and were universally recognized as powerful installations that could adapt to almost all game scenarios.

The exposed section of the Silver Iron Wing Crossbow in the room flashed with light as a layer of gilding spread over it, creating sharp edges that reflected a faint golden glow.

Screech~

The Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow operated at incredible speed, firing two eagle wing arrows in the blink of an eye. After piercing through the first frost ghost's chest, they continued to strike the second frost ghost.

Although these frost ghosts weren't pure dark creatures, the demon-breaking crossbow bolts seemed to have some restraining effect on them.

With the assistance of the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow, Dorm 200's monster clearing speed accelerated dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, a one-meter clearing appeared at the doorway, which then expanded to two meters, then three meters.

Click~

Just then, the door opened.

Xu Lang charged out, quickly circled around, and collected a large amount of Copper Coins.

This basic currency could be automatically picked up just by walking over it, making it very convenient.

"Gah gah!"

The frost ghost monsters screamed as several short spears suddenly flew out from the monster horde, fast as lightning!

These frost short spear throwers all had "Throwing" mastery and their timing was exceptionally precise.

Inside the dormitory building, when monster corpses reached a certain quantity, they would automatically disappear without clogging the corridors.

Otherwise, Xu Lang could have used some as meat shields.

Given the current situation, he could only resort to the old method.

One zombie roared as it charged toward the right side, getting turned into a pincushion.

Meanwhile, Xu Lang took out his Black Gold Ghost Head Shield, blocked the left side, and took the opportunity to retreat back into the dorm.

A frost wolf leaped forward, only to be shot dead mid-air.

Returning to the room, Xu Lang turned off the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow's automatic attack mode.

He would activate it only when monsters got close.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to collect money.

The frost ghost army was massive, with an average of five monsters at each dormitory door.

Five level three monsters were no different from free experience for Xu Lang, but for bottom-tier players, they were quite troublesome.

"The bomb monster threat is too great, we must kill it!"

In Dorm 49, Li Shuwen made a decisive decision, leading a group of tenants outside to forcibly kill the bomb monster before retreating back inside. When the timing was right, they charged out again from the room.

Since transitioning from dorm owner to protective father figure, Li Shuwen had become much more courageous than in the previous game cycle, as if he were a completely different person.

Monsters on one side were sniped by the newly purchased level four turret, so he only needed to focus on dealing with monsters on the other side.

If not for the variety of monster types and the presence of ranged monsters like short spear throwers, he felt he could cut through them all!

Having a daughter to protect made him stand taller with renewed determination!

The Dorm Survival Game conscripting relatives and friends into the game seemed like both a weakening and strengthening of players.

Among the tenth floor players, there were quite a few insightful individuals like Li Shuwen. Once they cleared the monsters at their doors, they began taking the initiative to attack.

"Let's go, let's go, brothers heading out to attack from behind!"

On the eighth floor, Zheng Kai saw Xu Lang's points skyrocketing and noticed eighth floor monsters moving upstairs. Realizing Xu Lang was making progress, he immediately called out and led players outside to kill monsters.

Some players headed to the seventh floor, while others went to the ninth floor.

Zheng Kai was among those who went to the ninth floor.

When he reached the ninth floor, he discovered it was already cleared of monsters, with large numbers gathered in the tenth floor corridors.

"Damn!" Zheng Kai's eyes immediately turned red as he threw out two bottles of mist-like poison and opened fire.

Before long, ninth floor players also emerged, each as anxious as monkeys, throwing skills and items at the monster horde as if they were free.

Monsters clustered together, not even targeting you - this was a heaven-sent opportunity!

If not now to farm points, then when?!

"Someone's starting to steal kills!"

When Xu Lang went out to collect money, he heard commotion in the corridors and immediately guessed what was happening.

As his reputation grew, people would inevitably notice him and try to take advantage.

However, he didn't particularly mind.

As long as these people didn't transfer dorms, the benefits would remain within the system.

Alive, they could resist monsters.

Dead, their possessions aside from skills would drop as loot.

"I'll need to maintain the dorm environment when necessary to prevent them from escaping."

Xu Lang muttered to himself, casually decapitating a frost ghost with one slash before retreating back to his room.

With practice making perfect, each time he went out to collect money, he would also kill a few monsters along the way.

The Blood Bodhi Blade's inherent requirement was clear - killing monsters permanently increased its durability!

Worth mentioning was that after the Blood Bodhi Blade gained 70 points of lethality, it had become stronger than most level four bladed weapons. When killing those level three monsters, as long as he hit vital spots, he never needed a second strike.

"It's becoming more vibrant." Xu Lang remarked while looking at the Blood Bodhi Blade.

"Xu Lang, I want to go out and kill monsters too." Wang Yazhi pursed her lips and spoke.

"You don't have the Jade Burial Suit, it's not safe." Xu Lang shook his head, then stared at Wang Yazhi's slightly trembling arms and said, "Also, I think you should lie back in bed now."

Wang Yazhi froze, suddenly realizing how extremely cold she felt, and her teeth immediately began chattering uncontrollably.

"Huff~ so cold, why is it so cold!" Wang Yazhi hugged her shoulders and quickly burrowed under the blankets.

Dorm 200 had a bedroom, but it was used for storage, so the bed remained in the living room.

"Sister Ya, you were already wearing very little." Tong Qi laughed.

"Environmental threats might be no less dangerous than monsters." Xu Lang frowned slightly.

The total monster assault on the building lasted less than half an hour before they were completely wiped out.

On the players' side, a total of sixteen dorms had been breached.

The low casualty count was largely because Dorm 200 had freed up the combat power of players from the 8th and 9th floors.

A single player killing over ten players could attract monsters from three entire floors - if located in central floors, it could attract monsters from five floors!

It was understandable why players kept their distance from Blood Grudge.

When Xu Lang went out to collect supplies, he found himself surrounded.

It wasn't that anyone wanted to attack him - people came from all directions with nothing but praise and cheers.

"Lang Ge, you're amazing!" Nie Xiaozhu shouted loudly.

"Lang Ge, your marble turret is so powerful, it's a shame no one else chose it." Wang Tingting looked at Xu Lang's marble turret with astonishment in her tone.

Could Xu Lang be a reincarnator from web novels? Otherwise, how would he know the Marble Launcher was this powerful?

Since Xu Lang was the only one in the entire building with a Marble Launcher, nobody knew his had been upgraded, and they weren't very familiar with its specific mechanics or appearance either.

"Lang Ge, did you use a Red Heart Jack to upgrade your turret?" A group of players from the eighth and ninth floors gathered at the left corridor entrance, with Zheng Kai casting an envious glance at the supplies covering the floor before looking at the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow.

Last time he visited, this crossbow was still silver.

Red Heart Jack?

Xu Lang's interest was piqued, mentally noting this information before smoothly changing the subject: "Aren't you all going home? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"Hehe, of course it's cold." Zheng Kai, wrapped in a large padded coat, chuckled and said, "But the monsters are all dead, and the Dormitory Broadcast hasn't made any announcements yet, so we wanted to ask Lang Ge what's going on."
