Chapter 781: Xu Lang: Mad King Building, You Really Deserve to Die!!!

One hour later.

All the tenants of Demon King Castle had left, except for Chi Qingman.

Wang Yazhi, Xu Xiaomeng, and Han Zhixiu played it safe, leading two teams of Neighborhood Committee members to the Zombie Attack world. Luo Lin went with them as well.

The world that best suited Kui Zi’s attributes was Intelligence Machinery Crisis, but it was too dangerous, so Xu Lang wouldn’t let her go. With no better option, she went along with Wang Yazhi’s team to help them speed-run the Zombie Attack world.

The Zombie Attack world was at least somewhat related to technology. All the other worlds belonged to the supernatural side. With no better options, she could only settle for the next best thing.

Cao Yaxuan, Zhen Lu, Wu Huihui, and the other girls formed a temporary team and headed to the Day and Night Ghost March world.

Tong Qi, Senior Sister Red Butterfly, and Xu Ruyan went to the Fierce Ghosts Return world together, without bringing anyone else.

Ayiguli, Jinsha, Yinsha, White Sand, and Gu Ya formed a group and went with the main force led by Gu Yan.

Sherry was also very interested in Rakshasa Country’s history, so she went along too.

The Rakshasa Country Herd Spirits followed them as well. Harlan and Saladin were among them.

The team heading to the Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom world was the strongest exploration team so far. It had nearly two hundred people alone!

After seeing the women off, Xu Lang returned to his dormitory and lay flat, while the previous night’s gains appeared before his eyes.

【Basic Nightmare Coins: 1600, conversion rate: 9231%, produced a total of 149296 Nightmare Coins in eight hours】

【Total Nightmare Coins: 2282872】

【Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art Harvest Summary: Constitution +40, Spirit +40, Blood Control Mastery +5】

【Ghostly Deity Power Harvest Summary: Ghostly Deity Power +30】

【Attributes: Constitution 1400, Spirit 1400, Ghostly Deity Power 870】

“My attributes are increasing so slowly.”

Xu Lang still couldn’t help worrying about it.

On the day he granted the Office Tokens, he had checked the Floor Leaders’ attributes. Some of the new Floor Leaders were quite powerful, and more than one had a single attribute over a thousand.

The Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art was an Epic-quality cultivation skill. Its next upgrade would cost 20,000 Nightmare Coins.

It would take at least ten levels to bring about a qualitative change, and he’d have to put in over a hundred thousand Nightmare Coins. That would greatly slow the advancement of his Nightmare Lord sequence.

Most importantly, the next upgrade might bring another qualitative change to the Nightmare Lord sequence. By then, Nightmare Coins might be worth even more, so using them to upgrade other items afterward would be far more worthwhile.

Back when the Nightmare Lord had just upgraded, he’d thought he had more Nightmare Coins than he could ever spend. After all, upgrading items didn’t cost many.

But as the game progressed and he grew stronger, upgrading items that could fundamentally change him required enormous amounts of Nightmare Coins. Otherwise, items of ordinary quality were practically useless.

And this was after the Fusion ability had boosted their purity. Without that, he would have wasted even more Nightmare Coins along the way.

“Why do I suddenly feel so broke after the dormitory building advanced...”

“This is strange. With all of Mad King Building’s permissions unlocked, it should be able to send me away, right?”

“Why won’t it give me a plane ticket?”

“I mean, I’ve always wanted to go somewhere to relax...”

After the Building Wars, Xu Lang had gained a much deeper understanding of the dormitory building. He knew that a troublemaker like Mad King Building could, to some extent, defy the rules of the Dorm Survival

</path> Game and do things that weren’t exactly by the book.

He had discussed this with Saladin in a dream before, but they hadn’t come up with an answer.

Now that everyone had left, his mind had finally settled completely. Yet he vaguely sensed something, as if a spark of inspiration had just flashed past.

“Qingman, what are you doing?”

Xu Lang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chi Qingman.

Chi Qingman was wearing denim shorts and a white shirt as she climbed onto the bed. She looked as though she’d just taken a shower.

More importantly...

Xu Lang’s gaze slid down the smooth skin of her legs, and he noticed a pair of white sneakers on her pale ankles.

She was getting into bed with her shoes on!

And they were sneakers!

“They’re really clean!” Chi Qingman lifted her leg to show him the soles, then crawled on her knees over to his side. With all the air of a girlfriend, she said, “I wanted to do something for you, Lang Ge.”

“Sure, go ahead!”

Xu Lang closed his eyes. The Nightmare Bed was so comfortable that he felt his soul drifting beyond the clouds. He asked casually, “Qingman, tell me, if Mad King Building hates us so much, why doesn’t it kick us out?”

Anyone who got to sleep on a Nightmare Bed in this lifetime was bound to be blessed. It was only natural that it felt so comfortable.

“Maybe it wants to get free labor out of you, Lang Ge.” Chi Qingman carefully massaged Xu Lang, her voice trembling with a hint of fear.

After all, she and Xu Lang were the only two people in Demon King Castle right now.

Miaoying and Zhixia were there too, but they might not be much help.

The young girl wasn’t particularly sharp, but she wasn’t stupid either. She knew she was dressed for a faster attack speed.

“Lang Ge, what’s wrong? Don’t you like being with me?” Chi Qingman noticed that Xu Lang’s expression seemed off and hurriedly asked.

“No, I just have to keep an eye on Yaxuan and the others, so I’m a little distracted.” Xu Lang shook his head, frowning in confusion as he asked, “What do you mean by getting free labor out of me?”

“It means making you work and then not paying you in the end.”

“I can take my own pay.” Xu Lang still didn’t quite understand.

The Nightmare Lord seemed to only need to lie flat, but to truly bring out its full potential, it was actually very resource-intensive.

First, the Fusion ability required a large number of items or Skill Scrolls.

Second, Nightmare Apostles had to frighten other people to produce Nightmare Essence, so population was crucial too.

“But if it buries you, then everything you have will belong to it!” Chi Qingman appeared to be answering him, but her mind was clearly elsewhere. Her little face was practically crumpling.

Xu Lang’s spine seemed to turn into a spring as he shot upright!

Chi Qingman let out a startled cry and nearly went flying.

“Lang Ge...”

“Sorry, are you saying Mad King Building wants to swallow me up?”

“Of course!”

Xu Lang’s expression turned more serious than ever.

His gut told him Chi Qingman was right, and her reasoning made sense too!

He had always been puzzled. Mad King Building hated him so much, so why didn’t it send him away? Breaking this particular rule probably wouldn’t trigger any serious backlash for Mad King Building, so why wouldn’t it do it?

Now, the answer was finally coming to light!

After playing this game of wits with Mad King Building for so long, he seemed to have forgotten one thing: his own value!

He had placed Mad King Building on a pedestal without properly recognizing his own worth!

That was an extremely fatal oversight!

It could make Xu Lang ignore just how hungry Mad King Building was for him, and how malicious it was toward him!

“Does Mad King Building already know where the Nightmare Lord came from?”

“Whether it knows or not, swallowing the Nightmare Lord would definitely be a huge boon for it!”

“How much does it know about this sequence? Does it know Epitaph exists!?”

As the thought occurred to him, a chill crawled up Xu Lang’s spine and shot straight to the crown of his head.

Suddenly, he regretted it.

During the Building Wars, he really should have had a serious talk with Evil King Building. Leaving Mad King Building might have been a good choice for both him and Mad King Building!

“Good thing I’ve never been to an exploration world.”

Xu Lang’s thoughts raced, and he was deeply relieved that he hadn’t gotten carried away. He had always remained on high alert around Mad King Building.

The things dropped in exploration worlds were so-called game items. That meant Mad King Building, or the power of the Dorm Survival

</path> Game, could seep into those worlds.

And there was no such thing as balance in exploration worlds. If Mad King Building wanted to get him, it would definitely have a way!

Damn it!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

He’d thought he’d already beaten Mad King Building into submission, and that at least it would lie low for a while. But now it looked like that wasn’t the case at all!

Mad King Building, you really deserve to die!

Mad King Building: “...”

Are you crazy?
