Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

Chapter 629: Chronos’ Sigh, Imbuing the Golden Fortune Auspicious Door with Time

Sponsored

As soon as Xu Lang returned to the camp, the Mad King Building players swarmed around him, and the innermost ring were members of the Neighborhood Committee.

Right now Xu Lang was the backbone of the Mad King Building.

No matter what they thought privately, everyone had to rally around Xu Lang.

If the Mad King Building lost the Building War, every player would be drained dry.

Without exception!

"Xu Lang, why did you suddenly rush into the Time Gate?" Cao Yaxuan took the lead and asked first.

"I wanted to test whether the Dorm Survival Game had any loopholes. I didn't expect it actually did," Xu Lang said with a smile.

The women all brightened with realization.

Han Zhixiu's eyes flickered.

Even though they slept in the same bed every day, they had already started to have trouble keeping up with Xu Lang's logic.

Thinking that, a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.

Everyone knew there were many overpowered items in the Building War. If she performed well this time, she might snag one or two.

She and Wang Yazhi and the others were very different from freeloader-type players like Chi Qingman.

They were all Mad King Building players. Once their SAN value dropped, all sorts of ideas started popping up. No one wanted to be dominated by others.

"So what’s the point of this loophole that lets you go to the other side of the Time Gate many times?" Cao Yaxuan pressed.

Xu Lang blinked, spread his hands and grinned, "No point. I just wanted to test the Dorm Survival Game's flexibility. Its overall logic is similar to the dormitory system, but it's more generous."

"Alright then!" Cao Yaxuan's eyes lit up. Xu Lang really had found something useful, he just didn't want to broadcast it outside.

Time flew. Half an hour passed.

This round of the Building War still had half its time left.

Evil King Building had just taken five points in a row, Heaven's Judgment Building took three points, Amusement Park Building took one, and Mad King Building had only one point.

...

Demon King Castle.

Xu Lang explained both the Void Beacon and Chronos' Sigh.

Sherry, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, immediately said, "The Void—this seems to be a force that once had contact with many civilizations of the Blood Mist World, and they even fought large-scale wars!"

"Chronos is a primordial god from ancient Greek myth. His status is far higher than Zeus and the like!" Kui Zi also joined the discussion.

Aside from sleeping, most of her time was spent in the Demon Box World tinkering with Apocalypse Fighter Jets.

"Does this deity represent time?" Ayiguli stroked her chin and asked.

Xu Ruyan exclaimed, "The Rakshasa civilization also has traces of Chronos?"

"There is an original god whose transliterated name is Chronos," Ayiguli replied.

All worlds reflect each other; a powerful existence can cast a projection in other realms.

This is one of the basics of the transcendent.

Compared to the distant and unknowable Void, everyone was clearly more interested in this so-called Chronos.

"Then it's almost certain. This Chronos truly existed and is related to the Dorm Survival Game... the Void battlefield!" Wang Yazhi concluded, her ethereal, aloof eyes quietly fixed on Xu Lang. "That sigh—was it really only calling you 'fool'? Could there be another hidden meaning?"

"Probably not..." Xu Lang recounted the sigh as well. Even though the sigh sounded like it was insulting him, he thought the information was crucial—maybe there was hidden content.

"Saying Lang Ge is a fool means Lang Ge missed something somewhere," Xu Xiaomeng boldly guessed. "Don't you think maybe Chronos was trying to convey something, but the Dorm Survival Game blocked it and reduced its interference into a single communicative item?"

A being capable of reflecting the heavens should be able to contend with the Dorm Survival Game to some extent, right?

"Hahaha, Little Meng, that's pure fantasy." Senior Sister Red Butterfly laughed loudly. "Convey what? This is just a level the Dorm Survival Game set up. Why are you overthinking it?"

After that, everyone spun off into more aimless guesses, and the discussion finally shifted to how to use Chronos' Sigh.

Seeing them argue so enthusiastically, Xu Lang abandoned his plan to sleep.

He hadn't farmed points tonight yet...

"It's a pity," Tong Qi said regretfully, "this mythical item is flawed. It can't transmute skills to gold, otherwise it could give Lang Ge a time-freeze."

"This ability sounds a bit racy," Chi Qingman—who had been well developed by cultivation—began blushing at the innuendo.

Jinsha praised him, "Some people's minds go dirty with a thirty-minute time-freeze, others with half a second want to rule the world. Lang Ge is the latter—an undisputed king. The time-freeze ability suits him best!"

"Hold on!" Zhen Lu put her hands on her hips. "This kind of good thing is best used on facilities—like turrets or the main gate. Choose one."

"I agree." Cao Yaxuan nodded.

Xu Lang's combat system was already very well-rounded. Adding a time skill would be merely icing on the cake, but having a time-based facility in Demon King Castle would elevate its defenses to another tier.

"Lang Ge, maybe wait until there's danger before deciding," Tong Qi glanced at Xu Lang and said softly.

She'd been with Xu Lang a long time and knew this was his favorite habit—if it's unnecessary, don't create more entities.

"No!" Xu Lang shook his head decisively. He had already made up his mind, stood up and said, "Chronos' Sigh must be used. Otherwise we can't proceed with later layouts, and keeping it idle is wasteful!"

"Hahaha, I knew it would come to this! All that dragging on!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly stood up, black eyes sweeping the room as she crossed her arms, making a dramatic scene.

In ordinary social circles, even if someone had multiple partners, a personality like Red Butterfly's would definitely be targeted and criticized.

But in Demon King Castle... everyone farmed points daily together.

After fighting side by side, they simply accepted Red Butterfly as an ostentatious presence and didn't hold grudges.

Chronos' Sigh was a special item; it couldn't be taken from the inventory. It had to be used directly.

Xu Lang walked to the gate, selected his target, and activated it.

The main gate was Demon King Castle's most important facility.

Actually, using Chronos' Sigh to imbue the Golden Time Rewind Clock with time would also work well.

But the Golden Time Rewind Clock is more of an auxiliary tool—wasting a Chronos' Sigh on it would be somewhat uneconomical.

[Use Chronos' Sigh to add the time attribute to the Golden Fortune Auspicious Door? Yes/No]

"Yes!"

As he made the choice, Xu Lang's heart involuntarily quickened.

This was the first Mythical-level item he had ever obtained!

[Use successful!]

[The Golden Fortune Auspicious Door will complete its metamorphosis in three minutes!]

Whoosh—

A golden radiance slipped out of the void and flowed into the Golden Fortune Auspicious Door!

"Is it done?" Cao Yaxuan clutched her chest, astonished, feeling like she'd spent a small fortune on blind boxes only to finally get something good.

"Not yet—three minutes left!" Xu Lang replied.

Everyone held their breath as if someone had their hands around their throats!

"Please, give it a good attribute!" Tong Qi murmured, face flushing.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly glanced at the domain master's lecherous parts and muttered to herself.

If the goddess of luck were into bears, she might get her wish.

Respect for the domain master?

That concept did not exist for Senior Sister Red Butterfly. She believed that if she hadn't held things in check, the nine other powerful vengeful ghosts Tong Qi had tamed would have already rebelled.

She considered herself the Castle's number one contributor. Who dared to command her?!
