Chapter 748: Mad Skills, Exploration Mode Major Overhaul

The Mad Capacity attribute was something the Mad King Building had proactively revealed to Xu Lang.

Before the Mad King Building had even undergone advancement, he had already been the first to learn of this special metric called Mad Capacity.

The Basement Key and the Mad King Building map could also increase Mad Capacity, though not by as much as the Madness Command and the Mad King's Emblem.

Currently, Xu Lang's Mad Capacity was 1500 points. In other words, in his extreme state, his SAN value could drop to -1500 points. With his dual attributes doubled, all attributes would increase by 15 times!

At first, Xu Lang had assumed the Mad King Building was actually a "physical-focused holy building," deliberately concealing the true effects of SAN value to mislead everyone into deviating from their development path.

But after seeing the Mad Facility design blueprints, he was no longer so sure.

It was the same old saying, attack speed with no upper limit, that was just too monstrous.

Back when they were attacking the World Bat, if they had a Mad Facility, the progress speed would have absolutely been much faster.

"The Skills Area probably has plenty of skills with Mad King characteristics too, doesn't it?"

Xu Lang's mouth twitched. He silently swept up nearly one-fifth of the Mad Equipment, then headed to the Skills Area.

He had to consider Fusion, otherwise he wouldn't have bought so much equipment.

This equipment was almost enough for two hundred people. After purchasing it, he even felt a pang of heartache.

...

Skills Area.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, seeing those skill scrolls with the "Mad" prefix still made Xu Lang struggle to keep his composure.

Mad · Blood Flame

Type: Skill Scroll

Level: 18

Rarity: Rare

Skill Overview: Spellcasting-type skill. After use, SAN value -5, gain the ability to control powerful Blood Flame for 5 seconds, dealing both mental and physical damage to enemies. Initial damage 1000 points. Additional damage based on both mental and physical attributes. Vitality and Spiritual Energy can alter the form of the Blood Flame.

Description: If you want to equip a full set of Mad skills, Blood Flame will be your best choice!

Hint: Non-Mad King Building players who cast Mad skills will suffer mental damage to themselves, and the spellcasting effect will be poor.

A long, long time ago, when Mad King players viewed skill scrolls, they could already see the specific effects the skills would produce.

At this moment, as Xu Lang sensed the general effects of Blood Flame, he felt both surprised and that it was only natural.

SAN value decreased during casting. This technique was just too demonic. Of course it would be a bit stronger!

Blood Flame's damage weighting and numerical values were already on par with ordinary Level 20 Uncommon skills.

Moreover, casting it wasn't as "mana-consuming" as high-tier skills.

This thing consumed life!

"In this kind of environment, becoming a madman is normal. Not becoming a madman is what's abnormal!"

Xu Lang truly hadn't expected that after the Mad King Building's advancement, there would be such massive changes.

Previously, when the Mad King Building had caused such a huge commotion, he had thought it was making a fuss over nothing. Now, he suddenly felt it was entirely justified!

The Soldier Demon Furnace, the Community Center, the Neighborhood Committee, none of them had shocked him this much!

Because those were just individual facilities being powerful.

It was like a primitive seeing a lighter for the first time, only feeling surprise and amazement.

But now, he was witnessing an entire "industrial civilization"!

One could imagine that once Mad skills appeared, Mad King Building players would truly go mad!

Consuming life was consuming life, but attributes would increase too!

SAN value dropped, attributes rose. The madder you were, the stronger you became!

Mad skills were powerful, and they could also increase attributes. This was a complete double amplification!

Xu Lang felt like his skill system could be rebuilt from the ground up.

After some thought, he checked all the skill scrolls one by one, and finally purchased about one-fifth of the remaining skill scroll inventory.

This wasn't just his share, there were also skills suited for Cao Yaxuan and the others.

...

The Apparel Area and Raw Materials Area, both of these areas were relatively normal.

The Mad Supermarket was very large. Xu Lang browsed for a long time, and finally arrived at a special area.

Here there were seven pitch-black cave entrances along the wall, as if leading to another dimension.

Each cave entrance had a name.

They were, respectively: Zombie Attack, Fierce Ghosts Return, Day and Night Ghost March, Christmas Carnival Night, When Night Falls Close Your Eyes, Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom, Intelligence Machinery Crisis.

The Exploration Mode entrance had been connected to the Supermarket before, and it still hadn't changed.

"The broadcast said Exploration Mode has been overhauled."

Xu Lang frowned, looked at a display rack nearby, and walked over.

On the display rack were scrolls sealed with strips.

"Zombie Attack World Basic Era Background," "Zombie Attack World Basic Geography," "Zombie Attack World Basic Materials List."

"Fierce Ghosts Return World Basic Era Background," "Fierce Ghosts Return World Basic Geography," "Fierce Ghosts Return World Basic Materials List."

Xu Lang purchased one copy of "Zombie Attack World Basic Era Background." It didn't cost much, only thirty thousand Copper Coins.

Moreover, after purchasing, the intelligence scroll didn't disappear. It could be purchased in unlimited quantities.

Xu Lang held the scroll and directly opened it to read.

Book-type items were all like this. Unless they were particularly special, they could only be read visually, there was no way to "one-click use" them.

Several minutes later.

Xu Lang finished reading all the contents.

"The described contents are actually so similar to Luo Lin's experiences..."

Xu Lang's expression turned somewhat grave.

Everyone had speculated about this long ago.

That is, Luo Lin came from the Zombie Attack world.

After some thought, he purchased all the intelligence scrolls in one go, checking them one by one.

When he saw "Day and Night Ghost March World Basic Materials List," he was slightly moved.

"The raw materials for manufacturing the White Reaper are all in the Day and Night Ghost March world!"

"Could it be that players clearing exploration worlds brings some benefit to the Mad King Building?"

The raw materials needed for manufacturing Mad Facilities could basically all be found in the materials lists of the seven major worlds!

Previously, only those gambling with their lives would play Exploration Mode.

Later, after Pioneering became available, hardly anyone went exploring anymore.

Unexpectedly, this unpopular gameplay had now been revived by the Mad King Building.

The raw materials in exploration worlds being strongly bound to Mad Facilities meant it was inevitable this would become popular.

And Xu Lang didn't want to stop it either.

Because he also wanted to get a couple of Mad Facilities to play around with.
