Chapter 783: Evil Dragon Pays Homage, Begging for a Game Guide! Try New Games

“I can’t make deals with the other dormitory buildings for now!”

“The main problem is that I’m developing too slowly!”

“Nightmare Coins are accumulating too slowly!”

“Nightmare Essence is accumulating too slowly, too!”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t even need a third-party force. I could suppress that disobedient brat all by myself!”

Xu Lang sighed, sounding rather like a man plagued by bad luck.

Wu Huihui and the other Nightmare Apostles were highly efficient. They could now scare all the Mad King Building players in a single night.

But the problem was that the population was limited.

The scenarios Xu Lang simulated were growing more and more grand, and required increasing amounts of Nightmare Essence. Gradually, his spending was starting to outstrip his income.

If he had enough Nightmare Essence, Xu Lang would dare to show up right in front of Mad King Building and keep Building living under the shadow of fatherly love.

“Conspiring with foreign powers isn’t reliable... I’d better think of a way to make Nightmare Essence unlimited.” Xu Lang muttered. He was about to dispel all the vortex gates and summon the one leading to Earth to strengthen their connection when one of the gates suddenly shook, ripples spreading across its surface.

The ripples grew larger and larger.

“It’s Evil Dragon!”

Xu Lang’s eyes lit up. He produced a Summon Card with a flick of his hand.

“Tyrant, you go first!”

A huge Zombie appeared out of thin air and plunged headfirst into the vortex gate.

...

“You...”

In the Blood Mist World, Evil Dragon stared at Tyrant as he charged out of the vortex gate, rendered speechless.

“You don’t have to say anything. I understand.” Tyrant spoke, his voice trembling, unable to form complete syllables. It sounded more like a soul speaking. “I’m Xu Lang. What’s going on over there? I only have ten minutes, so spit it out!”

Evil Dragon wasn’t sure he recognized him.

In the Blood Mist World, he had no player permissions. Fortunately, he had plenty of ways to explore. A flash of ghostly fire in his eyes revealed some information.

“The Evil King Building was punished by the Dorm Survival Game. After all this time, it still hasn’t recruited any new players, and it even set me up. It seems to have known I was coming to find you...” Evil Dragon quickly recounted what had happened, then asked, “Was that Chaos state something you used?”

Tyrant Xu Lang didn’t answer Evil Dragon’s last question. Instead, he said in a low voice, “It’s only natural that they don’t want you to come see me. Do you remember the note inside that Time Gate? It said that dormitory buildings have always wanted to wipe out all the players... They only occasionally take pity on them and lend them a hand, but their main goal won’t change.”

Now that Evil King Building was this weak, it might even be hoping for that outcome.

After all, at this rate, its players definitely wouldn’t survive the next round of the game.

Evil Dragon’s expression shifted. “What do you want to do? You said you’d help me win the next round!”

More than half of his combat and development systems revolved around the Evil King Building’s core gameplay. He didn’t actually want to switch buildings unless absolutely necessary.

Now that Evil King Building was so weak... perhaps he still had a chance to uncover its core secrets and become its Acting Dorm Owner.

“Give me the most suspicious items you have. I’ll investigate them, then decide whether to help you.” Tyrant Xu Lang held out his hand. “A Dorm Owner Token would be best!”

The secrets of dormitory buildings were often connected to their Dorm Owner Tokens, while Floor Leader Tokens were essential for controlling a building.

That was something Lord of Dawn had mentioned in passing. It was quite a valuable clue.

At that, Evil Dragon gritted his teeth and pulled out a pile of items.

“Here. These are the three best weapons I have right now!”

“These are items whose information can’t be investigated with player permissions. There’s definitely something wrong with them. I found one at the very bottom of the blood pool in the Flesh and Blood Palace, and another... You can take all of them!”

“And this is the Dorm Owner Token I found inside the Purple Dragon Dormitory!”

The Evil King Building’s Dorm Owner Token was a black magatama.

Tyrant Xu Lang swept up the other items with one hand. Then, his thick fingers pinched the black magatama. “Let go!”

As he spoke, he tugged hard at it, but it didn’t budge.

“You can take the other things, but you have to give the Dorm Owner Token back after you’ve looked at it. You’re not an Evil King Building player, so it’s useless to you!” Evil Dragon reluctantly let go.

“If you became a player in another dormitory building, this thing would be useless to you too!” Tyrant Xu Lang put away the black magatama. Evil Dragon immediately felt a hollow ache in his heart, much like an adult woman watching her younger brother, the team’s star player, head off to school.

To prevent any mishaps, Tyrant Xu Lang stuffed all the items into the Demon Box World. Then he asked, “Has Evil King Building announced when the next round of the game will start?”

“No.” Evil Dragon shook his head. “The countdown for Evil King Building’s games is short, no more than a day at most. How many troops can you send to support me?”

As far as he was concerned, if Xu Lang wanted to support him, he would split off some Mad King Building players and send them straight into the Safe Zone to help him.

A dormitory building’s Safe Zone could keep out Blood Mist creatures, but not players.

And dormitory buildings had an unwritten rule: to attack other players, there had to be a prerequisite. Their own players had to initiate an attack first!

When the time came, he could simply disobey Evil King Building’s orders and openly let the Mad King Building players in.

Evil Dragon suddenly remembered something.

“Right, I once heard something.”

“When other players go on an expedition, they can’t use the dormitory or its facilities because they aren’t players from that building.”

“When the game starts, how are you planning to support me?”

“Surely you’re not going to make the Mad King Building players fight the monsters?”

Unless Xu Lang was an idiot, he would never do something so self-destructive.

“Well...” Xu Lang hadn’t wanted to explain, but remembering that Evil Dragon was proactive, he opened a red vortex gate. “If you’re interested, you can go in and take a look for yourself.”

Evil Dragon frowned and peered through the red vortex gate, where he saw an incredibly desolate world.

There was no sun in this world, and the land was a scorched brown.

The next second, Evil Dragon’s pupils contracted violently. He staggered back three steps in terror!

On the scorched-brown earth, a gigantic red demon sat leaning back. One hand propped up its head while the other picked up charred corpses from the ground and tossed them into its mouth like snacks.

That scorched-brown earth wasn’t ordinary land at all. It was a plain made from one demon after another, piled together!

As if sensing someone peering in from outside, the red demon lifted its head and glanced over. Its gaze seemed to pierce the barrier between worlds and meet Evil Dragon’s!

In an instant, Evil Dragon’s flesh shriveled and dried up, as if he were a traveler who hadn’t eaten for more than ten days!

Seeing this, Tyrant Xu Lang closed the red vortex gate. “Do you believe me now?”

Evil Dragon dropped to his knees with a thud, clutched Tyrant Xu Lang’s leg, and shouted with reverence all over his face, “Bro, tell me, how exactly do you play this game?!”
