Chapter 99: Upgrading Colt, the Second Wave of Monsters is Coming Soon

Xu Lang's first reaction upon seeing Li Shuwen's private message was suspicion.

This guy was usually quite cautious too, so why did he suddenly become so radical and bold?

Could he be setting a trap for me?

Based on his intuition from playing so many games, killing the Frost Ghost King would absolutely result in a massive loot drop.

Because normally speaking, monsters with question mark levels weren't meant for players to kill, but were NPCs meant to trigger plot events.

"Old Li, don't think too much about it." The female tenant patted Li Shuwen's shoulder and said: "Let's just focus on defending our home peacefully. Even if we kill the Frost Ghost King, we'll suffer heavy losses. What about the remaining six days? And there are still mysterious creatures at night that might also drop great loot."

Hearing this, Li Shuwen smiled lightly and nodded: "It doesn't matter anyway, I was just communicating the idea first."

Another middle-aged male tenant looked worried.

Li Shwen's condition didn't seem quite right.

None of them had relatives who entered the survival game, only Li Shuwen did, so they couldn't understand his anxiety.

"Hahaha, everyone look at my ranking!" On the tenth floor corridor, Zheng Kai suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Players who were about to return to their rooms to escape the cold immediately paused, opened the leaderboard, and were astonished to see Zheng Kai in eighth place.

"Zheng Kai, you're really sharp, bringing us to farm points immediately." A player from the eighth floor laughed.

"Remember this, following Lang Ge is always the right move. Whatever direction Lang Ge takes, we follow." Zheng Kai shared his experience: "The third floor monsters, Lang Ge handled them all by himself!"

"Hahaha!"

The atmosphere instantly became filled with joy, as if even the severe cold had been driven away somewhat.

Although many hadn't made it into the top ten of the points leaderboard, they had still picked up quite a few good items.

Some of them even obtained wolf pelts, which were absolutely priceless right now.

"Brrr~ so cold, I'm heading back first!"

"Me too."

"Do you think it'll get even colder later?"

"It can't, right? My dad in the room is already freezing like a grandson, if it gets any colder he'll freeze into ashes, hahaha!"

"Impressive."

In Dorm 200, Xu Lang earnestly instructed the four women wrapped in wolf pelts: "During the next round of the game, it'll be your turn to take the field. Are you prepared?"

"We're prepared!" Cao Yaxuan nodded vigorously, looking quite expectant.

This round of the game, Dorm 200 would occupy five of the top ten spots!

As for why he didn't let them start farming during the previous wave of monster attacks, it was mainly due to adaptation issues.

After watching for so long, the four women had become familiar with the Frost Ghosts' attack patterns, significantly reducing the possibility of capsizing in a ditch.

"I get to kill monsters too? That's great!" Sherry was very excited.

Morale was high.

Xu Lang nodded inwardly, then shifted his gaze as a semi-transparent cold blue frame appeared in his vision.

His eyes fixed on the Colt Viper.

As long as he didn't upgrade the Nightmare Bed, he had more Nightmare Coins than he could use!

Can't spend them all, absolutely can't spend them all!

"The upgrade price for Dual Colt Vipers is ten Nightmare Coins more expensive than the Blood Pelican Blade. The value of firearms remains substantial."

Xu Lang sighed inwardly, then took out the Dual Colt Vipers and handed them to Cao Yaxuan: "Take these. Later, you and Tong Qi will go farm points first."

"Okay." Cao Yaxuan held the two pistols, her eyes shining brightly: "Xu Lang, should I use my attribute points now? 7 points in constitution, 5 points in spirit. Otherwise I'm afraid something might go wrong later."

Xu Lang thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine."

Cao Yaxuan's face lit up with joy as she began her stat allocation.

The wolf pelt's warmth didn't reach her face, and having stayed outside too long, Cao Yaxuan's cheeks were flushed like a little lucky charm, looking quite adorable.

Xu Lang looked at Sherry and said: "Sherry, first watch how Yaxuan and Tong Qi farm points, then you can start farming."

"Alright! By the way, are you injured? Let me heal you!" Sherry nodded repeatedly, then remembered her desire to heal others.

Xu Lang shook his head.

He wouldn't get injured before the Jade Burial Suit shattered.

This treasure's effect was too exceptional. It would definitely need upgrading in the future, but its durability was still quite high now, so there was no hurry.

"Okay." Sherry looked somewhat disappointed.

That punchable little expression made Xu Lang want to go horseback riding again.

Since using the Golden Revolution, his energy had become extremely abundant.

Xu Lang reined in his thoughts and opened his private messages with Zheng Kai.

Xu Lang frowned slightly.

Yun Yun was the new ninth floor leader, a female, but her appearance was too plain, so he hadn't paid much attention to her.

After a while, Zheng Kai sent a message.

The information Zheng Kai knew was definitely incomplete, or it could be that the Queen of Hearts was simply inferior to the Red Heart Jack, but this clearly didn't make much sense.

Xu Lang felt that if he went to ask himself, Yun Yun might not tell the truth either. It would be better to wait for an opportunity to get a Red Heart Jack himself.

He had a feeling that this type of card wouldn't appear only once, since aside from the jokers, a deck of playing cards would have four identical cards.

This matter was temporarily set aside.

Three hours were about to pass quickly.

The Frost Ghost King was once again surrounded by an army of Frost Ghosts.

During this time, some people tried to attack the Frost Ghost King from range, but were blocked by a frost shield. Others tried to slip away for floor sweeping, but were all frozen into ice sculptures by the Frost Ghost King's ice magic.

So those players with wall-climbing skills descended from the back of the dormitory and actually managed to bypass the Frost Ghost King, though they occasionally encountered gathering Frost Ghosts and engaged in combat.
