Chapter 756: A "Long-Awaited" Sleep, 1.8 Million Nightmare Coins

The Three-Eyed Demon Hound rubbed its forehead against Xu Lang's palm, displaying some normal canine behavior.

"Sometimes I really envy these monsters," Zhen Lu suddenly remarked with a sigh.

Instantly, everyone turned to look at her with strange expressions.

Cao Yaxuan said in disbelief, "I never expected this, Zhen Lu. So you're actually that kind of person. Even though you can half-beast transform, you can't actually be jealous of someone's pet."

Zhen Lu's face went dark instantly. She lashed out with a whip kick at Cao Yaxuan. "Damn you, Yaxuan, what are you talking about? I meant I envy these monsters' stats. They can easily break a thousand."

Cao Yaxuan hurriedly dodged and let out a breath of relief. "Oh, so that's what you meant. Then it's fine. Maybe Xu Lang's attributes have already surpassed the Three-Eyed Demon Hound's."

"Do I look that monstrous? My dual attributes only just broke a thousand not long ago." Xu Lang was speechless and flicked Cao Yaxuan's forehead.

"Why did you hit me? I just feel like you're stronger than the Three-Eyed Demon Hound. I feel like if you put in effort, you could strangle it to death." Cao Yaxuan was unconvinced.

A flicker of shock passed through Xu Lang's eyes. Why was Cao Yaxuan's intuition about him always so accurate?

With the enhancement of talents like Overlord and Hegemon, his actual strength was indeed higher than the Three-Headed Demon Hound's.

The Three-Headed Demon Hound's Constitution attribute was high, possibly because a single sub-attribute like burst power or stamina was monstrously strong, pulling the Constitution attribute up to five thousand.

Meanwhile, all of his own sub-attributes were at one thousand.

Strength, speed, and other attributes mutually amplified each other. Even with no equipment, he could suppress the Three-Eyed Demon Hound through pure numbers.

Actually, whether it was him or the Three-Eyed Demon Hound, the displayed attributes were only starting values, equivalent to a sports car's starting speed.

Under normal conditions, the skills that gave Xu Lang the most amplification were "Blood Control Mastery," as well as the physical-combat-oriented Herd Spirit abilities within Grave Pasture.

It was worth mentioning that Xu Lang had always wanted his spirit attribute to also produce a talent similar to Overlord, because the sub-items under mental talents were extremely, extremely difficult to improve.

Things like comprehension, insight, sudden enlightenment, and so on.

If his spirit attribute could also max out every sub-item, then his IQ could crush Sherlock Holmes and he could beat AlphaGo at chess.

After secretly using the Nightmare Eye to observe Cao Yaxuan again and confirming she didn't have anything like a "Xu Lang radar," Xu Lang secretly let out a breath of relief.

"Alright, we've seen what needed to be seen. Now let's choose the Core Facilities," Xu Lang said as he vigorously rubbed the Three-Eyed Demon Hound's head, and the latter returned into the Abyss Whisper Door.

Once that terrifying creature's aura disappeared, Evil Furry Grain immediately returned to normal, its little tail wagging madly as if it had come back to life.

"Are we choosing together this time?" Cao Yaxuan's eyes lit up.

Choosing Core Facilities together at Demon King Castle seemed like something from a long time ago. Back then, there weren't this many people at home, just her and Tong Qi and the others.

"Yeah, there are quite a few options this time. All common Core Facilities can be chosen." Xu Lang nodded.

Gu Ya suggested, "Is it time-limited? If not, I think it's best not to choose yet, because Mad King Building has only just advanced, and we still haven't figured out the subsequent changes. It's hard to determine which direction of facility we need."

Xu Lang was stunned. That actually made a lot of sense.

The women looked at each other, all feeling that Gu Ya's suggestion was quite sound.

"Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor, don't use your scheming on us. We're happy right now, and you say something like that!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly bared her teeth.

In her view, everyone was in high spirits, and Gu Ya interrupting everyone's happiness was simply unforgivable.

Xu Lang flicked Senior Sister Red Butterfly's forehead with a finger. "She means well."

"Absolutely awful!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly was indignant. With a flash, she merged into Tong Qi's body.

She had gotten smarter now, knowing that going head-to-head with Xu Lang never ended well, so she would avoid his edge when appropriate.

"Fine, let's listen to Gu Ya." Xu Lang felt there was nothing much going on right now, so he said, "I'll take you to the Merit Tower first to collect the merit light orbs."

...

The True King Duel took place on the third of July, in the thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-third year of the Blood Mist Era.

After the True King Duel ended, the time point had only changed slightly.

The anchor object was the Golden Time Rewind Clock.

Through multiple lines of reasoning, it was basically confirmed that the time displayed by the Golden Time Rewind Clock was the Blood Mist World's local time.

And the Nightmare Bed's cooldown time was not forcibly bound to the Blood Mist World's local time!

In other words, Xu Lang could now continue to grind points!

After taking Cao Yaxuan and the others to collect their merit light orbs, Xu Lang dragged them off to grind points.

...

The True King Duel began in the early morning of July third. By the time Xu Lang woke up from a sleep, it was already afternoon.

After all this time, Mad King Building still hadn't announced the start time of the next round of games. It remained pending.

And it was best if it didn't announce anything. Xu Lang hoped it would stay like this forever, quiet and peaceful.

The one who cares about you most is me, kid!

Releasing the Eye of Providence and glancing at the Golden Time Rewind Clock to confirm the time, Xu Lang began reviewing last night's harvest.

Yesterday at the Supermarket, he had already bought outfits for all the women.

The women's total Charm points had soared to a new height.

This boosted his attack speed by a full fold.

[Basic Nightmare Coins 1600, conversion rate 9231%, eight-hour total output 149296 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 1834984]

[Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art Harvest Summary: Constitution +40, Spirit +40, Demon-Sealing Slash +2, Martial Saint +2]

[Ghostly Deity Power Harvest Summary: Ghostly Deity Power +30]

[Attributes: Constitution 1280, Spirit 1280, Ghostly Deity Power 780]

"Sigh, three million Nightmare Coins is still ages away."

Xu Lang suddenly felt a bit wistful.

He would have to sleep for another half month before the Nightmare Bed could upgrade. This suddenly gave him a sense of a distant, far-off time.

Actually, it was mainly because too many things had happened during the Building Wars. He hadn't gotten much proper rest, which made the time feel stretched out.

In reality, the Building Wars had only taken two full days at most.

After reviewing his point-grinding harvest, Xu Lang didn't get out of bed. Instead, he continued lying there, reading messages in the Neighborhood Committee work group.

Once he had read enough of the outside information, he began to ponder another matter.
