Chapter 759: The Lord of Dawn Imparts the True Essence of Building Control, the Unsolvable Sequence Loss of Control

The Lord of Dawn's analogy was spot-on. Players were cancer cells.

A person with cancer could be a driver, a doctor, a nuclear missile operator, a nation's leader!

These people dying at cancer's hands was perfectly normal, but once they died, the consequences could be catastrophic beyond imagination!

"The Mad King Building is so urgently assigning me the task of recruiting neighbor buildings. Maybe it's not trying to kill me, but rather... it wants to eat!"

Xu Lang drew a deep breath, and his vision suddenly seemed to rise to the stratosphere, seeing everything with absolute clarity.

No wonder it was the highest-level war mission. When the resource chain was at stake, such rules indeed made sense.

If one day Xu Lang's funding chain broke, he'd be just as panicked.

"How should I negotiate this resource split ratio with the dormitory building?" Xu Lang asked.

"Judge for yourself, or find the key item within the dormitory building... otherwise you'll never obtain the rights that belong to you. Before you completely nail down the dormitory building, it will constantly cause you trouble." The Lord of Dawn paused here, seemingly still uneasy, and added, "Not all dormitory buildings have such an item, so some dormitory buildings can make it to the later stages purely because their Manager was lucky enough, and the scales never tipped completely to one side."

Xu Lang's expression darkened further.

Judge for himself? Who knew whether the Mad King Building was faking it or genuinely hungry?

In Xu Lang's eyes, the Mad King Building was nothing but a cash-dispensing machine. One punch and it spat out gold coins. He only regretted not punching hard enough. Who cared if it was hungry or not!

But then again, helping the Mad King Building dispossess other dormitory buildings didn't seem to cost him anything, and he could even scoop up a wave of resources.

"Sorry for misjudging you, Building. You're not a cash-dispensing machine, you're my good eldest son!"

Xu Lang's fist clenched rock-hard, and fury surged up in a flash.

Last time he helped Building devour the Twilight Building, Building didn't seem to give him any special reward at all. It only unlocked a bit of the SAN value attribute's true function, and it hadn't even fucking unlocked it completely!

Just how much stuff had the Mad King Building skimmed off him?!

"Anything else to add?" Xu Lang took a deep breath and asked.

"No more. This conversation ends here. I still have..." The Lord of Dawn rose, his clothes stirring up a faint gust of wind.

"I have something to ask you."

"Fine." The Lord of Dawn seemed to sit back down in his original spot, his tone inexplicably gentle.

Xu Lang asked, "I've now become a Dual-Sequence Holder. Is there any good method to suppress Sequence rampage?"

In reality, he was a Triple-Sequence Holder, with two Sequences currently undergoing fusion.

The Lord of Dawn exclaimed in admiration, "You really did figure out that I'm a Dual-Sequence Holder. Worthy of the person I've taken a fancy to."

After his exclamation, he fell silent for a while before finally speaking.

"Are both of your Sequences Primal Sequences?"

Whenever the Lord of Dawn asked a question, it was always like this. As long as the other party answered, he would gain a piece of information.

For instance, right now, if Xu Lang answered, it would mean he knew the difference between Primal Sequences and Later-born Sequences. If he didn't answer, it would be hard to obtain genuinely useful information.

"One Primal Sequence, one Later-born Sequence." Xu Lang was no social idiot either. This answer maximized the disparity, which would yield the most information.

The Lord of Dawn: "That's a bit better then. Later-born Sequences aren't as ferocious as Primal Sequences, chasing down Sequence Holders to kill them. But you still need to be careful. One day, the Later-born Sequence will revive inside your body."

Xu Lang: "Revive?"

The Lord of Dawn: "Correct. Complete Later-born Sequences are all true deities. These deities have ambitions sky-high. After finishing their addition, they do subtraction, scattering themselves across heaven and earth to be assumed by Sequence Holders. Then they drain the Sequence Holder's essence dry, reincarnating endlessly, ultimately advancing to S-rank."

The beings who created Later-born Sequences were, without exception, all master anglers.

Xu Lang: "Is there a way to avoid it?"

The Lord of Dawn: "Angel Building has an item that can strip away a Later-born Sequence."

Xu Lang: "Back to the earlier question. Is there any good method to suppress a Sequence?"

The Lord of Dawn:

"There's no special method. The methods you should know, you already know. Collect suppressants and raise your resistances. Aberration resistance, willpower, soul resistance, rationality. These few attributes are especially important."

"To completely eradicate the risk of loss of control, you need to develop the Sequence to the Awakening stage. At that point, you are the Sequence itself. Otherwise it's unsolvable. You can only suppress it."

"Of course, never develop a Later-born Sequence to the Awakening stage, otherwise the deity will directly revive."

"If I may ask, what tier is your Later-born Sequence?"

The Lord of Dawn had shared so much high-value information, and Xu Lang hadn't given a single truthful answer. That would be too classless. So this time, he gave a complete, honest answer.

"A-rank!"

"It's actually an A-rank Sequence!?" The Lord of Dawn was somewhat surprised, then his attitude did a complete one-hundred-eighty-degree turn: "Then I suggest you develop it well, hunt as many other Sequence Holders as possible, and advance to the Awakening stage as soon as possible!"

Xu Lang: "Why?"

The Lord of Dawn: "A-rank Sequence Awakeners are called demigods. Overlord creatures are themselves a world of rules, but a divine domain can already cause external rules to change for it. With a demigod joining us, our chances of clearing the Blood Mist World will be much greater."

Xu Lang: "What if it revives?"

The Lord of Dawn: "When that happens, I'll come help you suppress it."

Xu Lang didn't think the Lord of Dawn could suppress a demigod. At least not right now.

The future was uncertain, though. After all, he was the possessor of Sequence A-40 Magician King and E-350 Medium.

The Lord of Dawn: "Alright. This conversation really must end here. If it continues, my interests will suffer more damage."

Xu Lang: "Okay."

The Lord of Dawn really did seem to have matters to attend to. He left in a great hurry.

After he logged off, Xu Lang logged off as well.

- Continue chatting, and my interests will suffer more damage.

An ordinary person hearing this might feel guilty.

Which was precisely why he was an ordinary person.

Xu Lang knew well that with someone like the Lord of Dawn, if he allowed his interests to suffer damage, it meant he wanted to gain even greater benefits from Xu Lang. He was just temporarily being freeloaded off of.

Otherwise, could it be that he truly had pure love and affection for Xu Lang?

That answer was even fucking harder to accept!

...

"Master, when that gentleman spoke of mutual slaughter, the audio had an abnormal fluctuation of zero point three seconds." Zhichun had at some point come to stand beside Xu Lang and spoke up.

Of the four Zhichun sisters, only two accompanied him for grinding points. The other two were on duty, and also responsible for cooking.

Not long after Xu Lang connected to the radio station, Zhichun had come out from the dining room and hadn't spoken to disturb him.

"Mm..." Xu Lang rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes, sinking into contemplation.

What the Lord of Dawn said was merely his own experience, but cross-referenced with the intelligence gathered by the Neighborhood Committee, those theories had extremely high credibility. At the very least, they could explain certain things.

After thinking for a long while, he opened his Nightmare Coin balance and took another look.

This was his true confidence.

Sequence loss of control, even the Lord of Dawn didn't have a great solution. And he really didn't want to use the Nightmare Coins he'd painstakingly accumulated to forcibly upgrade his suppressants and break free from the predicament.

So this matter really was a bit troublesome.
