Chapter 772: A Large Radio Station, the Heart-to-Heart Ghost Realm

Staring at the Office Token before him, Su Yuan felt a complicated mix of emotions: the joy of being recognized, a pang of sadness, and pressure.

In the end, he bowed respectfully to Xu Lang and thanked him. “Thank you for recognizing me, Dorm Owner.”

“You deserve it,” Xu Lang said, shaking his head.

He had seen Su Yuan’s contributions for himself.

Although the women of Demon King Castle held high positions and wielded certain authority, the ones who actually got things done were the core Neighborhood Committee cadres, Su Yuan and the others.

Only these veteran cadres understood the specific rules and procedures of Mad King Building and Demon King Castle well enough to handle matters to everyone’s satisfaction.

“Su Yuan, what do you think about this Floor Leader selection?” Xu Lang asked casually, taking a sip of coffee.

At that, Su Yuan’s expression turned solemn.

“I think this selection is absolutely necessary!”

“Especially since you have an item like the Office Token. That makes the importance of Floor Leaders even greater!”

“In the past, Floor Leaders were members of the Neighborhood Committee, and the Committee had little ability to govern them. That led some Floor Leaders to neglect their duties, causing quite a few foolish blunders.”

“The rules you set for this selection are excellent!”

“No private fighting!”

“Everyone has to put their cards on the table. If someone wants to play the fool and catch their opponents off guard, then they can eat pig feed for the rest of their lives. They won’t get so much as a bite of meat!”

“In the dormitory buildings of the future, it’ll be obvious at a glance who’s a dragon and who’s a snake!”

Su Yuan was a clever man. He immediately understood the crucial point of this Floor Leader selection.

This time, the vote would depend entirely on public support and real strength!

What’s more, after every round of the game, the Floor Leaders would have to be elected again.

And any Floor Leader voted out would face an extremely grim consequence.

That was - being held accountable unto death!

If a Floor Leader really made a serious mistake, Su Yuan had no doubt that Xu Lang would be determined to take back the Floor Leader Token.

He just didn’t know how severe the consequences would be.

“Dorm Owner, I was wondering how strict the accountability process would be...” Su Yuan asked tentatively.

“Maximum,” Xu Lang replied.

Su Yuan’s unspoken question was: What if people close to Xu Lang, like Li Shuwen, broke the rules?

Then they would be dealt with the same way!

After receiving so many resources, how could they still fail to act, or fail to keep their own players in line? What kind of enormous mess would they have to cause, and how useless would they have to be?

They might as well go join the brothers in Grave Pasture.

Come to think of it, all the Herd Spirits in Grave Pasture were “remarkable figures.” A Floor Leader who made a mistake might not even qualify to get in.

Mary covered her mouth and chuckled. “If they dare to take the position, they have to shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. They can’t just get into trouble and pay a fine with three drinks, can they? Besides, their surname isn’t Xu.”

Su Yuan’s heart tightened.

Xu Lang and Mary had understood the meaning behind his words and given him their answer.

There was still some time before the other Floor Leaders were elected. Xu Lang stood up to leave, but Su Yuan hurriedly asked, “Dorm Owner, is it true that we can return to Earth?”

“It’s true...” Xu Lang paused to think, then continued, “And it’ll be soon.”

In an instant, the entire reception room fell silent. The only sound was Su Yuan swallowing nervously.

...

Demon King Castle, main hall.

Pandora came down from the second floor, her little face pale as she asked in a panic, “Why are we holding another Floor Leader election? What have I done wrong before?”

She had been planning to spend the night here, but then Xu Lang had gone and sprung this on her.

How could she possibly sit still now?

“If you’re qualified for the position of Floor Leader, you’ll naturally be elected,” Xu Ruyan said calmly.

“But what if I’m not qualified?” Pandora asked blankly.

Xu Ruyan’s mouth twitched. She said helplessly, “Don’t ask such a silly question.”

“No, no, I mean, what if something unexpected happens?” Pandora quickly corrected herself.

Since her dormitory could strengthen the entire floor, and the Factory served as a Supply Point, Pandora and her trusted followers ate better than ordinary players. Her authority over the twenty-ninth floor was therefore quite impressive.

“Miss Pandora, you have to learn to take responsibility for your own affairs,” Miaoying said, emerging from behind Pandora. She touched her lower lip with a pale, delicate finger and spoke adorably. “But if you want me to help, I can do that too. After all, you’re the only one in Witch’s Home, so it’s understandable if you can’t manage everything by yourself.”

Pandora immediately brightened. Her fluffy skirt fluttered with excitement, making her look like a giant jellyfish. “Great, great! I’ll leave this to you, Miaoying. I’ll have everyone else on the twenty-ninth floor add you as a friend right now!”

Nearby, Cao Yaxuan rolled her eyes so hard they nearly disappeared into the back of her head.

Such a simple yet important matter, and Pandora had handed it over to someone else entirely!

Still, with Miaoying stepping in and Demon King Castle backing her, Pandora’s position as the twenty-ninth floor’s Floor Leader was completely secure.

For a moment, Cao Yaxuan couldn’t tell whether Pandora was genuinely stupid or only pretending to be.

If it had been anyone else, even one of her own people in Demon King Castle, she would have delivered a sharp, biting rebuke. But looking at Pandora’s innocent, pitiful, helpless appearance, she couldn’t bring herself to get angry. She even wanted to go over and offer some pointers, to teach the “little airhead” a thing or two.

“This is strange. What level is that outfit of Pandora’s? How can it have such a powerful effect?”

Cao Yaxuan felt that if the status panel hadn’t warned her, she would already have been influenced without even realizing it.

The next second, her eyes darted around. She quietly crept up behind the two women as they chatted, then wrapped her arms around Pandora. “Take off the outfit and let me check its attributes!”

“Ah!”

A sudden shriek rang out.

It hadn’t come from Pandora, but from a corner of the main hall.

All the women turned to look and saw Zhixia bouncing excitedly as she shouted to them, “Everyone, come look! I finally found a new radio channel!”

They looked at one another, and soon even Xu Lang had been drawn over.

...

The radio channel Zhixia had found was quite unusual. It was called “Heart-to-Heart Ghost Realm.” The entire channel was muted, and the notice board displayed a very intriguing message.

- Eternal Night Warzone, Ghost Realm Building, “Probability Dormitory,” Level 40 radio station. It broadcasts news from the Titan Warzone, Eternal Night Warzone, and Holy City Warzone at irregular intervals each day.

It was actually a radio station much like a news broadcast!

What had made Zhixia cry out was the number of people currently online: an astonishing six hundred!

Six hundred high-level players who had earned the title of Top Player. By sheer probability, quite a few of them had likely earned the title multiple times in a row and might already have taken control of their buildings!

“We’ve found the main force!” Xu Xiaomeng said, her face alight with excitement.

Xu Ruyan added, “I’ve heard about this large radio station before. I never imagined there’d be so many people in it!”

The most experienced player in Mad King Building had not even completed forty terms. And in an ordinary dormitory building, the gap in level between players usually wasn’t very wide. So even though Demon King Castle had taken control of its building, it still hadn’t learned much about high-tier dormitory buildings.

The only four Tier 3 dormitory buildings they had ever encountered were Taleblade Building, Celestial Demon Building, Annihilation Dormitory Building, and Vast Sky Building. They had never directly clashed with any of them.

By “clash,” they meant a war between buildings, not a contest of individual strength.

Player versus player depended on equipment, skills, and items. Dormitory building versus dormitory building depended on the ecosystem, total supplies, and facility levels.

The women were a little nervous at their first glimpse into such a high-level circle.

Perhaps they were lucky. They hadn’t been waiting long when an administrator named Six-Eared Macaque turned on his microphone.

Right after that, news about the three major warzones was revealed, completing a large-scale communication broadcast.
