Chapter 750: Mad Facilities, Mad Professions, Mad Martial Arts, Mad Skills, Mad Medicine

"There are two possibilities. One, Xu Lang's numbers are high. Two, we frequently sleep on the Demon King Bed, so we've adapted to mental corruption." Sherry held up two fingers. "After all, Sequence advancement is also mental corruption. The Demon King Bed can suppress even Sequence advancement, so suppressing regular mental corruption should be no problem."

"But other players don't have that advantage. We can't exactly have everyone sleep on the Demon King Bed, can we?" Miaoying flicked her cat tail and joined the conversation.

She had a bit of a cleanliness obsession. As long as it wasn't one of their own, even if a woman came to sleep on it, she'd feel a little uncomfortable.

Xu Lang patted her shoulder. "Life will find a way. I believe in the Mad King Building players!"

Senior Sister Red Butterfly burst out laughing. "Who could be more depraved than you, Xu Lang? At this rate, the Mad King Building will be full of lunatics! Everyone will have a mental corruption BUFF hanging on them!"

Xu Lang shook his head vigorously. "Players still have a solution. The House of Order can remove abnormal statuses, it's just a bit expensive."

"How expensive?" Sherry quickly asked.

She needed to gauge whether ordinary players could afford it.

After Xu Lang stated the price, everyone fell silent.

A bit expensive? It was beyond expensive, it was astronomically expensive!

An ordinary player stepping in for ten seconds or so would lose the entire value of their gear. Who could afford that?

"Maybe I should recruit players with healing abilities and those 'patients,' and have them cross-verify, to see if mental corruption really is unsolvable," Sherry suggested.

"Alright." Xu Lang nodded.

Immediately, Sherry sent messages to Su Yuan and the other administrators, instructing them to bring the relevant players to the Demon King Castle reception hall.

Mary had Zhidong, Zhixia, and the other two girls receive them, while she herself quietly took notes on the side.

"Actually, besides the House of Order, there's another method to temporarily slow down a player's madness." Xu Lang took out a vial of blood-colored medicine. "This is Mad Medicine. It's sold in the Mad Supermarket's item section. It can restore SAN value, but it doesn't have a purification effect, so it shouldn't be able to remove the mental corruption status."

"What about the price?" Sherry cared most about this.

Gu Ya's gaze also sharpened.

Both women were the type to care about the welfare of the common people.

"It varies. Relatively speaking, it's fairly affordable for ordinary folks," Xu Lang replied.

Ordinary Mad Medicine could restore single-digit SAN value, while high-grade Mad Medicine could restore a large amount of SAN value and also provide some buffs.

Xu Ruyan pursed her lips. "Mad Weapons, Mad Skills, Mad Medicine, Mad Facilities... our Mad King Building has its own specialty products now. It's just that they all have usage conditions, and outsiders can't use them."

Mad Skills and Mad Martial Arts expended SAN value; Mad Medicine restored SAN value; Mad Facilities looked invincible, but the Supermarket didn't sell finished Mad Facilities. Forging one also didn't seem easy.

"Most dormitory buildings' specialty items are like this. Take the Amusement Park Building's Trophy Seizures. They look great, but if someone other than the original Amusement Park players uses them, they can't unleash their full power," Xu Xiaomeng said with a shrug.

As the game progressed, it seemed like universally overpowered good items were decreasing. The truly good stuff all had strong dormitory building characteristics and usage barriers.

This was everyone's first personal experience of it, so the feeling was very clear.

Although players had brought items from other buildings before, the previous dormitory buildings were probably more ordinary, so such items weren't many.

"Heh, it's normal for dormitory buildings to have firewalls against each other." Kui Zi smiled. Looking at it from another angle, it was actually easy to understand.

The nuclear weapons your own country builds, you can't exactly let other countries' personnel use them, right?

Xu Lang suddenly snapped his fingers and grinned. "Besides Mad Martial Arts, Mad Skills, Mad Medicine, and Mad Facilities there's also Mad Professions!"

Saying this, he took out three Office Tokens.

This was the big one. As long as you took up a Mad King Building office, it was equivalent to having an official position.

The women had only heard Xu Lang briefly mention that professions existed. Now, looking at the detailed information, they instantly held their breath!

"Professions!? Isn't this just like Sequences!?" Han Zhixiu's sharp eyes flashed with brilliant light.

Not long ago, she had asked Xu Lang to work on her vampire Blood Contract to boost her strength.

Now, seeing something similar to Sequences, she immediately couldn't sit still.

"Let me see!" Cao Yaxuan snatched the Mad Guard token, her eyes blazing. "Being a guard, that suits me best!"

"Don't rush. There are plenty here." Seeing everyone was excited, Xu Lang raised his hand to calm them, then took out dozens of Office Tokens in a row.

With so many Office Tokens laid out, everyone actually calmed down quite a bit.

After all, things were precious when rare.

"These... these three professions, do they provide any direct combat enhancement?" Cao Yaxuan asked.

"Except for the Mad Guard, no." Xu Lang shook his head. "The Cleaner cleanses Mad Residual Filth, the Floor Leader monitors SAN value fluctuations of players on the current floor, and the Mad Guard only gets combat bonuses against outsiders."

Everyone's heated heads cooled down.

Xu Lang continued pouring cold water. "Also, you can only take up one Mad Profession, and there's no guarantee better professions won't appear in the future. Anyway, I'm currently the Acting Dorm Owner, so I can't take one up."

This was the honest truth.

At first, he'd also entertained the idea of taking up a profession, but the system notification appeared right after. He was now the Acting Dorm Owner and couldn't take up a second profession.

Thinking carefully, he really didn't seem to need to take one up.

"Then it's not suitable for me... Let's have those tool-type players take up these professions," Cao Yaxuan immediately put down the Office Token.

"Yaxuan, aren't you going to execute justice?" Wang Yazhi teased. "I think the Mad Guard suits you perfectly. Slay foreign enemies and even lead Mad Vanguards."

"What if a better one comes along later?" Cao Yaxuan's answer was utterly realistic.

None of the women had any intention of taking up a profession, except for Xu Ruyan.

"The Floor Leader positions can go to Huihui and the others, and the cleaning tasks can be handed to others too. But this Mad Guard, our dormitory had best take one, otherwise we might run into big trouble later." Xu Ruyan picked up a Mad Guard Office Token and spoke seriously.

"I think that works," Gu Ya spoke up in agreement.

Ayiguli also nodded repeatedly. "I think so too."

Jinsha, Yinsha, and White Sand chimed in as well.

"The Mad Guard is both eyes and shield. It really is important." Xu Lang nodded, then changed tack. "For these three Mad Professions, do you have any good candidates?"

"This will require a census," Mary spoke up. "It'll take at least three days to confirm the candidates."

"Fine. I'll leave this matter to you and Sherry. Send me the list when it's done," Xu Lang nodded.

This matter was temporarily set aside. Xu Ruyan took up the Mad Guard profession and immediately gained a pile of skills, and the skills' Status actually carried a faint hint of being conceptual-level.

For example, the most crucial skill, "Police Alert."

Any outsider who entered the Mad King Building's territory outside of game time, she would know immediately.

Honestly, it was a bit ridiculous.

With this, whether monsters or players, sneaking into the Mad King Building became virtually impossible.
