Chapter 655: Three-Way Malice, Unafraid of the Spotlight, Playing the Pig Only Gets You Feed!
With the gravity increased thirty-fold, the facilities also took some damage, which was a point of concern for Xu Lang.
However, after observing for a while, he found that the turrets were minimally affected by the environment. He then used his Nightmare Eye to investigate the Gravity Beasts and confirmed they posed little threat.
Since that was the case, it was time to start farming points!
These Gravity Beasts had decent levels, but their quality was rather low—not even a single Commander among them.
Although they wouldn't drop any rare materials, they could still yield some high-level facilities.
All of these were resources!
The more facilities they dropped, the more Nightmare Essence he could refine from them!
—There was no obligation not to farm monsters!
In fact, the most interesting aspect of the Simulation Dream was that the simulation didn't account for Xu Lang using the Nightmare Lord's abilities.
This meant that even if Xu Lang simulated a million fatal scenarios, the real future could very likely turn the tide against all odds.
It also meant that Xu Lang could use the resources at hand to calculate the future he wanted over and over again.
Of course, there were risks.
If he didn't follow the simulation dream exactly, reality would deviate from the simulation.
But Xu Lang had never been one to get hung up on that!
If you traveled back to the future knowing gold prices would rise, you definitely wouldn't just buy gold!
And truly following the script perfectly was impossible; changes in mental state or deviations of even seconds could cause the future to go wrong.
Instead of being timid and hesitant, it was better to go all in and strike hard!
Sure enough, Xu Lang saw new facilities coming in, and their levels weren't low.
"Keep lying down," Xu Lang said, seeing that the monster-spawning chain had formed, and called for everyone to continue sleeping.
This script was all too familiar.
No one refused and they all got on the bed one by one.
Chi Qingman didn't have the same iron stomach as the others. After getting on the bed, she carefully suggested, "Lang Ge, could you move the surveillance panel here? I want to take a look... I might not be able to sleep."
Zhen Lu laughed mischievously. "Don't worry, you'll definitely fall asleep. The bed is so comfortable—Xu Lang has upgraded it who knows how many times."
Mary adjusted her glasses and said, "I'll do the real-time monitoring instead, just in case some super-big monster shows up. And it would be bad if any turrets accidentally got damaged."
The probability of turrets being accidentally damaged was very low because, under the influence of the Black Crown, the monsters were focused solely on breaking down the door and had completely lost their "intelligence."
Besides, Gravity Beasts didn't seem like the kind of intelligent monster species.
"Alright," Xu Lang didn't refuse.
Xu Lang slept well, very comfortably in fact.
But the players from other buildings couldn't sleep at all.
...
Heaven's Judgment Building.
One by one, members of the Illuminati walked out of their dorms, escorted by other players, heading to the top floor.
The Illuminati was Heaven's Judgment Building's "official" intelligence department. Every member had been cultivated at great cost, and due to their lack of individual strength, they were forcibly protected through the sixth round.
"Our predictions were completely wrong. Demon King Castle is an anomaly!"
"We might be entering the seventh round under the protection of Demon King Castle!"
"That dormitory is insane! How does it have such powerful turrets, sweeping level-25 monsters like common trash!"
"Is Xu Lang some kind of favored son of Mad King Building? How could Mad King Building take such good care of him!"
"Mad King Building must be preparing ahead for the Building Wars, cultivating a boss-level dorm like this!"
"Very likely!"
"All our previous plans need to be redone!"
"Raise Demon King Castle and all its members to the highest danger level!"
...
Amusement Park Building.
The Amusement Park Building players weren't as cooperative as those from Heaven's Judgment Building, but they still had three overt rulers.
They were Candy Queen, Joker, and Amusement.
These three rulers of the Amusement Park Building didn't make the other players go out; they just discussed things in the chat room.
[10 Candy Queen: @Joker, next round, you and I will go to Demon King Castle to test the waters]
[220 Joker: Hahaha, don't joke, little bitch. What's the difference between going there in person and committing suicide? Why don't you strip naked and stand in front of Demon King Castle's door to lure them out? You've got the highest Charm stat here, and I heard that Xu Lang is quite a pervert!]
[10 Candy Queen: That's exactly what I was thinking]
[110 Amusement: Support!]
[220 Joker: Hahaha, then the others can feast their eyes again!]
[137 Queen's Little Dog: Long live the Queen!]
[137 Queen's Little Cat: Long live the Queen!]
[137 Queen's Honey: Long live the Queen!]
[111 Amusement's Servant: @Candy Queen, when will you let me have another go? My Joy Value will double!]
...
Evil King Building.
The Evil Dragon stood at the edge of the top floor, staring at the Mad King Building. His fists cracked as he clenched them, and his aura surged violently, raging with fury.
Xu Lang's strength made him crazy, made him burn with jealousy!
"I remember Wu Xiaowu's dorm has a dungeon. Find a chance to grab a Demon King Castle member and lock them in there," said a middle-aged man draped in a purple cloak as he walked over. His aura was violent, faintly more savage than the Evil Dragon himself.
A black, lock-bearing sickle emanated dark aura from his waist. His hair and beard were like a lion's mane, and his build was tall and imposing.
"Exactly my thoughts!" Qi Hengsan followed closely behind the middle-aged man and nodded at his words.
One after another, players walked onto the top-floor terrace. Counting carefully, there were actually dozens of them!
Their attire was extraordinary, with even the lowest being at the Excellent-grade level. Their equipment and skill quality went without saying.
At that moment, they were all staring at one target.
—Demon King Castle!
...
"It seems I've stirred up some trouble."
On the Nightmare Bed, Mary adjusted the surveillance camera's angle and frowned after seeing the movements of players from the other three buildings.
Would these players target the Mad King Building in the next round?
"Definitely!"
Mary adjusted her glasses, a sharp glint flashing in her pale golden pupils.
Although it was somewhat troublesome, there was no need to be afraid.
Xu Lang had said it before: in the Dorm Survival Game, playing the pig doesn't let you eat the tiger—it only lets you eat feed.
Skulking around and being sneaky might get you a little grease.
But if you want to eat until you're dripping with oil, you have to open your mouth wide!
The Mad King Building loved a gluttonous feast. If you nibbled and savored slowly, wouldn't that be disrespecting their goodwill?
Demon King Castle had always followed this philosophy, getting this far.
In fact, it wasn't just Xu Lang who thought this way; the entire atmosphere of the Mad King Building was like that.
Otherwise, when they had negotiated with the Twilight Building back then, the Mad King Building players wouldn't have acted together so seamlessly.
While others were still worrying about Blood Grudge, the Mad King Building players had already gone for the kill.
"A firefly's light cannot compete with the full moon's radiance... The Mad King Building must have thought the same, which is why they pulled the interference authority to the max." Mary's expression was peculiar. She felt that in terms of style, the Mad King Building and Xu Lang really did suit each other.
She didn't just sit idly by. Instead, she remotely opened the internal space of the Auspicious Gate, sorted out the high-value items inside, and moved them to the storage room.
These operations only required a player panel, no need to run around.
Mary was recognized as a subordinate unit of the Mad King Building's dorm, having paid the population tax, so she also had a player panel.
"Haah..." Chi Qingman let out a yawn. It was already the umpteenth time she'd yawned, and she'd lost count.
She wanted to shrink into the blankets, but she knew that if she did, she would definitely fall asleep, so she forced herself to stay awake.
"Qingman, you go to sleep first," Mary said with a smile.
She herself was an android and had a natural advantage in controlling sleep. Chi Qingman didn't.
"Hehe, alright, then I won't keep you company, Sister Mary." Chi Qingman gave an apologetic smile.
"Go to sleep." Mary replied and went back to watching the surveillance screen while simultaneously moving materials, multitasking with ease.
Head Steward Mary was always worthy of trust.
