Chapter 770: Extraordinary Mad Residual Filth, Floor Leaders Begin to Grow Restless

On the Mad King Building rooftop, Xu Lang activated his Nightmare Eye and quickly spotted something off on a floor panel in front of the building.

【Nightmare Eye · Mad Residual Filth: Evil residue seeping from the Mad King Building, mixed with players' mad thoughts and the essence of madness. Those who come into contact will suffer Mental Corruption...】

Suddenly, the content revealed by the Nightmare Eye vanished. Xu Lang was taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation. He couldn't help but stare harder at that floor panel, yet found nothing abnormal.

His heart sank. He continued searching. Before long, he discovered another anomaly, a flowerbed.

【Nightmare Eye · Mad Residual Filth: Evil residue seeping from the Mad King Building, existing in the deep-layer domain, possessing formless properties. It will undergo periodic phase shifts at irregular intervals, appearing in any area within the Mad King Building's radiation range. Only specific professions such as Cleaners can observe it. Please clean it up promptly upon discovery...】

【Nightmare Eye · Mad Residual Filth: A formless source of Mental Corruption...】

【Nightmare Eye · Mad Residual Filth: Mad Residual Filth has a chance to overlap with one another, forming a higher grade of Mental Corruption...】

It took Xu Lang about ten minutes to figure out all the properties of Mad Residual Filth.

This stuff was essentially the Mad King Building's excrement, extremely filthy, and it existed in every area of the Mad King Building. If not cleaned up in time, more players would fall victim to it.

This was only the early stage. If dragged out too long, the number of players who "mysteriously" contracted Mental Corruption would grow and grow, and the Mad Residual Filth could even mutate into something far more terrifying.

"I can't delay any longer. I need players to take up the three Mad Professions as soon as possible."

Xu Lang returned to the Demon King Castle and gathered the women, his expression solemn.

He then briefly outlined the nature of Mad Residual Filth.

"Mary, have you compiled the list of candidates for the Mad Professions?" Xu Lang looked at Mary and asked.

"If it's urgent, the Mad Guards and Cleaners can all take office right now. The Floor Leaders will probably need to wait a while, there are vacant dorm rooms on both the first and tenth floors." Mary showed no panic at being put on the spot. She was incredibly reliable.

"No need to wait. Start the Floor Leader selection now." Xu Lang said decisively.

He estimated that by tonight, the number of dorm rooms would increase to over five hundred, and the game's start probably wasn't far off.

If he truly waited until all dorm rooms were filled to capacity, there wouldn't be enough time.

"Understood!" Mary nodded.

Xu Lang was so decisive that none of the women objected, and at the same time, they realized things were somewhat urgent.

...

Chat Room.

【System Notification: Acting Dorm Owner has exercised authority. All personnel muted for 30 minutes】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): @Everyone, announcement. After internal discussion, to strengthen the accountability and credibility of Floor Leaders, all Floor Leaders of the Mad King Building must be re-elected by vote!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): Voting rules are as follows: Each player may cast one vote to elect the Floor Leader of their respective floor!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): The winner of the vote will receive the "Office Token · Floor Leader" and take office as the Floor Leader of their respective floor!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): Floor Leaders will be re-elected by vote after each game round. Those removed by public vote cannot serve as Floor Leader a second time. If major errors occur during their tenure causing significant damage to the Mad King Building, death accountability will be enforced!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): This vote will be anonymous. All players, add the vote collector @Mary as a friend and cast your vote via private message!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): Floor Leaders are considered Neighborhood Committee cadres and may select one resource point as their territory!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): Before this voting event, all players are prohibited from internal combat. Those who do not wish to serve may report to Mary in advance!】

【600 Xu Lang (Acting Dorm Owner): Voting closes at 6 PM today. If a floor has over half abstentions, the Neighborhood Committee will assign a Floor Leader directly!】

The players were left dizzy and overwhelmed by the barrage of messages.

Since taking office as Acting Dorm Owner, this was the first time Xu Lang had used chat room authority to @Everyone, and he'd dropped such monumental news right off the bat.

The Mad King Building's power structure was about to be reshuffled!

Players checked the "Office Token · Floor Leader" entry. After reading the specific details, every single one of them gasped sharply.

Establishment!!!

This was the Mad King Building's official establishment!

Taking office as Floor Leader meant being a Floor Leader in both name and reality!

As for the responsibility that came with the power...

Screw responsibility!

If I become emperor, I'll definitely be a good emperor, loving my people like my own children!

Twenty dorm rooms on the first floor, I'll shoulder it all!

Every player seemed to see hope. Though they might not have much strength, maybe their reputation was better than others? With serious campaigning, it might really be possible!

And besides, this vote could probably even be sold for money.

There were so many angles to exploit here!

All players still outside hurried back to their dorm rooms to sort out their thoughts.

Because of Xu Lang's prohibition, no one dared to intercept anyone outside.

...

"The Dorm Owner didn't notify us in advance. This time he's playing for keeps!"

After returning to his dorm room, Li Shuwen's expression became incomparably grim. He spoke in a low voice to the assembled tenants.

He and the other veteran Floor Leaders had always been fairly close with the Demon King Castle, yet this time Xu Lang hadn't notified a single one of them.

Another middle-aged female tenant said worriedly, "Maybe our performance has caused the Dorm Owner dissatisfaction."

Zhu Yan said anxiously, "We didn't even have room to perform!"

"It might be some daily behaviors that weren't up to standard." Another young tenant said, full of worry.

"It might just be a normal position change, after all, there are Office Tokens..." Li Wenwen cut in: "This might actually be a good thing for our dorm. Twenty-third floor, no one can compete with our dorm."

That's what she said, but what if?

"Zhu Yan, go call those Dorm Owners over. I'll communicate with Zheng Kai, Wu Huihui, Sword Saint, and the others." Li Shuwen ordered, simultaneously opening his private messages.

By this point, his private messages were flooded. People on the same floor were all sending him messages.

...

"Hahaha, so the Office Token mentioned in the broadcast is in Lang Ge's hands." Inside the dorm room, Wang Tingting laughed heartily: "The thirtieth floor's Floor Leader position is ours for the taking."

Nie Xiaozhu's gaze flickered: "Not necessarily... let me go ask Su Yuan, and whether Sister Yaxuan and the others want to be Floor Leaders. After all, the Floor Leader Tokens have a quota."

Wu Huihui smiled: "No need. I already asked. Yaxuan and the others won't take the Floor Leader position."

"I told you!" Wang Tingting's vivid red lips curved: "No one from Demon King Castle will take the Floor Leader position, otherwise there wouldn't be enough Office Tokens to go around."

The concern isn't scarcity but inequality. If one person took office, the others would surely want to as well, and then the Demon King Castle women would have to disperse.

And Demon King Castle had no precedent of assigning people outward.

Nie Xiaozhu laughed awkwardly: "Maybe they just look down on the Floor Leader position."

Wang Tingting was stunned for a moment. That actually seemed possible.

As a Floor Leader, one would definitely have to manage the floor, and the skills attached to the Floor Leader position might not even be useful to the Demon King Castle women.

"Regardless, this is all good news." Wu Huihui raised her eyebrows and said with pointed meaning: "I've long felt that some Floor Leaders weren't doing their jobs."

After saying that, she strode toward the dorm room door.

Outside the dorm room door, a large group of sisters had assembled, all of them coming to find Wu Huihui.
