Chapter 674: True King Duel Round 4, The Hunt Begins!

"Attack range that far?" Cao Yaxuan stared at the Ferris Wheel, a hint of surprise flickering across her face.

"That Ferris Wheel can multiply their turret range by 50 times." Xu Lang said calmly.

All the women's expressions shifted at those words.

Fifty times the range? Didn't that make the Ferris Wheel basically a giant Gatling gun? Shoot whoever you want, whenever you want!

"How are we supposed to play like this?" Chi Qingman said with a bitter face.

Now all three dormitory buildings were nothing but sitting ducks. The Amusement Park Building players could shoot at whoever they pleased, whenever they pleased.

"Don't worry about it. Using turrets costs resources, they won't attack recklessly. That would be a terrible cost-to-benefit ratio." Xu Ruyan's expression wasn't great either, but she still analyzed with sound logic: "Besides, until the next round's gameplay is announced, they won't make enemies without cause, unless their manager is an idiot."

After that, even though people kept boarding the Ferris Wheel, no one attacked Xu Lang's group.

"One, two, three..." Xu Xiaomeng squinted her eyes, murmuring under her breath.

"There are a total of one hundred cabins... this Ferris Wheel is definitely a strategic-grade structure. Xu Lang, should we go destroy it in advance?" The Magic Box's large doors swung open as Kui Zi stepped out, her gaze fixed on the Ferris Wheel with data flowing through her eyes. Without anyone even explaining the situation, she had already gathered a wealth of information.

"Let's wait until the game starts." Xu Lang shook his head.

"Sister Kui Zi, you're out!" Xu Xiaomeng's face lit up with surprise at seeing Kui Zi.

"Mhm." Kui Zi smiled.

Xu Lang looked at Kui Zi and noticed her aura was different somehow. Her strength had clearly improved quite a bit.

"What's wrong?" Kui Zi looked back at Xu Lang.

"Every time you came out of seclusion before, you seemed exhausted. This time feels different." Xu Lang replied.

Kui Zi's leather military jacket rippled with a dark luster, and the energy around her was dense and steady, as if she were shrouded in an invisible force field. Most importantly, her smile was confident and composed, and her dark circles were gone.

"I've already decrypted 18% of the Apocalypse Fighter Jets. I've improved and copied many of their weapon modules into my data sea." Kui Zi smiled. "Now I just need some basic raw material components, and I can upgrade all of Mad King Building's modern weaponry in one go."

"Really?!" Wu Huihui was the most excited at those words.

Nearby, Luo Lin frowned slightly. Compared to Kui Zi, her own progress was lagging behind.

After all, the Biochemical Dorm was just a somewhat special ordinary dormitory, and the heritage she'd brought over from her original civilization was nearly depleted.

"Really. When the time comes, I'll start by arming the Neighborhood Committee and the twentieth floor." Kui Zi looked at Wu Huihui and smiled.

Immediately, cheers erupted from the twentieth floor corridor.

Xu Lang sighed with emotion.

The Evil King Building, Heaven's Judgment Building, and Amusement Park Building all had combat bonuses.

But Mad King Building here? It was completely desolate. Anyone who didn't know better would think the Iron Blood Colosseum was some ultimate killing move.

The Building was useless, absolutely no help at all.

Winning the game depended entirely on the players themselves.

"Xu Lang, I might need to borrow your bed later." Kui Zi sidled up to Xu Lang and whispered.

Xu Lang's expression shifted. "You're about to advance again?"

Kui Zi's eyes gleamed with sharp light. "With the Demon King Bed around, I've been touching all the forbidden zones I never dared to before. My Sequence development has been incredibly fast."

"Alright." Xu Lang nodded, then hesitated before asking: "You're not going to spray oil out when you do, are you?"

Ship-Girl was barely acceptable, but Megatron was absolutely not happening.

"Pfft!" Kui Zi's face flushed red with anger. "I'm on the data stream path, not the cyborg path."

Xu Lang spread his hands. "Arcing plasma is also a no-go."

Kui Zi knew Xu Lang was teasing her, so she let out a cold snort.

Just then, the Dorm Survival Game's voice rang out, and everyone in Demon King Castle perked up.

Since the first three rounds had no death penalties, nobody really took them seriously. It was like someone used to playing ranked matches suddenly queueing for casuals, boring as hell.

[Dorm Survival Game Broadcast—]

[Rest period over, True King Duel Round 4 officially begins!]

[This round is named "The Hunt Begins," rules are as follows!]

[Rule 1: After the game starts, a continuously evolving "Ultimate Creature" will appear in the void battlefield. Each time this creature breaks down doors or massacres players, its power will receive a massive boost!]

[Rule 2: Once players leave their dormitory building, they cannot return until this round ends!]

[Rule 3: The Ultimate Creature will not proactively attack players who leave their dormitories!]

[Rule 4: Hate potions will randomly spawn in the void battlefield. When thrown at a target building, that building will attract the Ultimate Creature's aggro!]

[Rule 5: No actions in this round will increase or decrease points!]

[Rule 6: This round lasts 3 hours!]

[The Ultimate Creature will be deployed to the battlefield in 30 seconds. The corresponding rules will take effect once the creature appears!]

The rules for this round were simple, yet at the same time, a bit convoluted.

Setting aside how strong the Ultimate Creature actually was, the other rules all seemed pretty useless.

Since the Ultimate Creature wouldn't attack players who left their dorms, what was the point of the no-return rule? Redundant, wasn't it?

Also, since this round generated no points, players shouldn't have much fighting spirit either, right?

Lifting the death immunity restriction, everyone thought the Dorm Survival Game was about to go hard. Turns out it just dropped a massive turd.

"Everyone back to your rooms!"

Someone shouted, and the twentieth floor players all scrambled back into their dormitories in a chaotic rush.

The other buildings had similar scenes.

If you didn't return now, you wouldn't be able to later.

"Huihui, hurry up!" Nie Xiaozhu tugged at Wu Huihui's sleeve, her voice urgent.

The situation was critical, but Wu Huihui said nothing. Her gaze fell on Xu Lang, waiting for his orders.

"Huihui, you and I are staying outside to stall the Ultimate Creature's growth." Xu Lang's expression was impassive. After giving that order, he looked at Cao Yaxuan and the others: "All of you head back first. Come out when I need backup."

Wu Huihui was overjoyed.

So she really was on the same wavelength as Lang Ge! The chemistry between the Demon King's Apostle and the Demon King was unmatched by anyone else!

Immediately, she spun around, shoving and pushing as she told Nie Xiaozhu and the others to head home.

"Sister Hui, we want to stay too!"

The tenants of the Demon Suppression Temple were frantic.

"Get back now. I can't die, and besides, I won't lose!" Wu Huihui's expression darkened as she gave the forceful order.

"Let's go. Trust Huihui!" Wang Tingting led the charge, guiding the other women back.

The women heard Xu Lang's command and immediately sprinted toward their dorms. However, two stubborn holdouts remained rooted in place.

They were Wang Yazhi and Cao Yaxuan.

Wang Yazhi's brows furrowed slightly. "Xu Lang, I want to fight alongside you. Nobody can guarantee there's only one Ultimate Creature. You'd be stretched thin!"

Cao Yaxuan followed up: "I can control the battlefield, and I can also elementalize. Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

"Time's almost up." Xu Lang's tone was flat, completely unmoved.
