Chapter 787 The Safety Mechanism Trips, and a Bold Conjecture!

“What is this filthy thing?!”

Xu Lang saw the Blasphemous Spear trembling slightly, its tip aimed at him.

The spear’s moving. I’m out of here!

Fusion seemed to have completely burned through some kind of restriction program on the Brutal Gouyu!

Just sensing that evil power made Xu Lang’s heart pound with fear. Before he could think it through, he had already left the dream!

With no target, the Blasphemous Spear floated in midair, continuously radiating an aura of blasphemy.

All things were blasphemed.

The space soon began to reek, as if it were rotting.

Fortunately, this was a dream.

Anything was possible, and everything was an illusion.

The blasphemous aura did not spread outward. Instead, it quickly subsided, as though it had entered some kind of Dreamland.

…

The Blasphemous Spear was terrifying. The only way Xu Lang could think of to seal it was to put it in his inventory.

And that was exactly what he did.

As soon as he did, the damn Mad King Building reacted.

【Emergency Mission: “Trophy Seizure” (Mythical)】

【Mission Objective: Turn in the “Evil King Authority: Blasphemous Spear”】

【Time Limit: 3 minutes】

【Reward: Mad King Building Dorm Owner Token x1】

【Accept Mission? Yes/No】

Three lines of information appeared in his field of vision. Xu Lang remained unmoved.

Trading one Dorm Owner Token for another looked fair enough, but he simply didn’t want to fatten up the Mad King Building.

He’d been the one to break through the Evil King Building’s firewall, and the Building hadn’t even paid him extra!

Three minutes passed, and the Mad King Building started causing trouble again, immediately issuing a second mission.

【Hostile Mission: “Mad King vs. Evil King” (Mythical)】

【Mission Objective: Destroy three key buildings in the Evil King Building】

【Time Limit: 3 minutes】

【Reward: Mad King Building Dorm Owner Token x1】

【Accept Mission? Yes/No】

This mission seemed worth considering. Back when he’d wanted to take on the Hunter Building, the Mad King Building had issued a similar mission.

Xu Lang reluctantly tapped “Accept.”

After that, Xu Lang got bored and wanted to see what would have happened if he hadn’t put the Blasphemous Spear in his inventory right away.

That might give him some insight into the relative levels of the dormitory buildings.

…

Simulation Dream.

A scarlet vortex gate stood wide open, and a black, obsidian-like spear descended from the sky.

The ground split open on its own, letting the Blasphemous Spear plunge into its deepest reaches.

Xu Lang was going to seal the Blasphemous Spear with the Taleblade Demon Box!

“Xu Lang, what are you doing now? Can’t you give it a rest?” The Gluttony Demon’s body materialized, and he looked close to snapping.

The next second,

his expression stiffened as he sensed something was wrong.

The Gluttony Purgatory seemed to be undergoing some kind of mutation!

He hurriedly looked down and saw that the ground had somehow become covered in a layer of foul energy. It was spreading rapidly, like nightfall shrouding the land. In almost an instant, it had contaminated the entire Gluttony Purgatory!

“Roar~~~”

Countless charred corpse Tales wailed before sinking beneath the ground.

Xu Lang watched it all with a grave expression.

Before long, the Gluttony Demon, the realm’s master, sank into it as well, followed by the entire Gluttony Purgatory!

Ten seconds later, all of Infinite Purgatory had sunk!

Thirty seconds later, the Taleblade Demon Box was thoroughly blasphemed. Xu Lang was caught up in it, his Attributes plummeting at an incredible speed until they all hit zero!

…

Reality.

Xu Lang felt a pang of dread.

“All my resurrection methods were wiped out?”

Never mind Epitaph. The Simulation Dream couldn’t simulate the Nightmare Lord’s other abilities, but the tombstones in his Grave Pasture numbered in the hundreds, and they hadn’t helped at all!

The most terrifying part was that this was only the domain effect of the Blasphemous Spear’s aura. He hadn’t even bound himself to it!

“With ten thousand points of Willpower, I might be able to wield an artifact like this!”

“Compared to the Blasphemous Spear’s effects, that isn’t a high threshold at all. It’s a ticket to a gamble with enormous potential returns!”

Once Xu Lang calmed down, a flame kindled in his heart.

The so-called Dorm Owner Tokens seemed to be the normal promotion ritual under the Dorm Survival

</path> Game system. Collect them all and pass the trial, and you became a Dorm Owner.

But after he’d tripped the safety mechanism on the Dorm Owner Token, it seemed he could directly obtain the dormitory building’s source power!

Once he collected all the Evil King Authorities, would he become the Evil King Building itself?!

Xu Lang took a deep breath, startled by the thought.

The Nightmare Lord could actually do something like this. It was truly extraordinary!

“Hey, Building, let’s put off the missions to take on other dormitory buildings. I’m a little tired, so I’m going to sleep.”

Xu Lang had been so startled that he’d initially wanted to attack the Evil King Building at once. But after seeing the true nature of the Evil King Authority, that urge died away.

Although players taking on other dormitory buildings were considered to be on an expedition, their own dormitory building backed them up.

But what if the Evil King Building came after him and the Mad King Building didn’t help?

Once trust was broken, it was hard to repair.

Xu Lang was worried the Mad King Building might cause trouble at a critical moment, leaving him with disaster at his own doorstep.

So, until he’d gathered enough Nightmare Essence, Xu Lang had no plans to launch an expedition.

At the Blasphemous Spear’s rate of infection, if it came into direct contact with him, he might not even have time to use his Nightmare Coins. There was no need to take such an extreme risk.

They’d already made it into high society. They weren’t street performers anymore.

“Hmm…”

“Let’s see what Yaxuan and the others are doing.”

Even though he’d assigned a Nine Shadow to each of their teams, that didn’t mean nothing could go wrong.

Xu Lang closed his eyes and used the Demon Box’s vision to sense Cao Yaxuan and the other women.

About an hour later, Xu Lang started to feel bored, so he opened the Private Message interface.

Mary and the others handled the administrative work, but he still occasionally glanced at the various group chats. To put it nicely, he was keeping tabs on public sentiment. To put it bluntly, he was spying on them.

As he browsed, Xu Lang came across a few private messages.

Early on, Xu Lang hadn’t restricted friend requests, so many veteran players had added him.

He hadn’t deleted them. As long as he didn’t enable special notifications, they weren’t in the way.

【Wang Tingting: Lang Ge, does this outfit look nice?】

【Yan Xiaoli: Lang Ge, when are you coming over again? There are two monsters locked up in the dungeon, and I’m a little scared.】

【Zhou Wan: Dorm Owner, what are the requirements for moving into Demon King Castle?】

【Zhang Hao: Esteemed Dorm Owner, I’m Zhang Hao, a recent arrival. My wife has admired you for a long time…】

【Zhong Muqing: Wow, Xu Lang, you’re so handsome. You got Top Player again, hehe. I’d love to take you out to eat!】

【Zou Yutong: Lang Ge, these are private photos of me and my girlfriends. I’ll trade them for a bottle of mineral water!】

The further he scrolled, the older the messages got, and Xu Lang started feeling tempted.

Should he pick one?

Golden nectar increased Charm, and Charm increased the conversion rate of Nightmare Coins. Earning Nightmare Coins was serious business!

Besides, Cao Yaxuan and the others weren’t around!
