Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

Xu Lang frowned as he noticed the chaos in the lower floors of the dormitory building.

"It really doesn't work without a Floor Leader."

He shook his head slightly, planning to train a few more Floor Leaders after this Building War.

"Xu Lang, should we go out and help?" Wang Yazhi asked.

Xu Lang nodded and gave instructions methodically:

"Yaxuan, Tong Qi, Red Butterfly, you three go to the Neighborhood Committee on the tenth floor first to stabilize morale!"

"Yazhi, you go to the first floor and try to kill as many players who enter the building as possible!"

"Little Meng, you operate the turrets. When you think the timing is right, use the Dragon Star Summoning Array!"

...

The gates of Demon King Castle swung wide open, and Cao Yaxuan and the other three women quickly exited the room.

Meanwhile, Xu Lang leaped out of the dormitory building, draped in a black cloak that concealed information detection.

The Purgatory Void Faceplate itself could block information detection. With the double layer of concealment, ordinary methods absolutely couldn't see through it.

Xu Lang had come out amidst the chaos this time not to fight, but to see what exactly was going on with that crown.

Atop the Mad King Building, Xu Lang checked the crown's information and got nothing but question marks.

Without the Nightmare Eye, it was really inconvenient.

Xu Lang immediately learned over a dozen detection skills on the spot, temporarily becoming the strongest scout of Mad King Building. Then he gazed into the distance at the other three dormitory buildings.

Even with this many detection skills at this level, there was absolutely no way to perceive the true nature of those three dormitory buildings.

Actually, the Nightmare Eye was the same.

When Xu Lang used the Nightmare Eye to look at the Mad King Building, he also couldn't get any useful information. The gap in Status between the two was far too vast.

To bridge that gap, he could only continue developing the Nightmare Eye, or else elevate himself.

"Mad King Building players have SAN value as their characteristic. What characteristics do those three have?"

Holding this question, Xu Lang walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

Amusement Park Building players charged forward like a one-man army, riding toy cars at speeds defying all reason. The turret attacks couldn't even hit them.

"This is so awesome!"

One Amusement Park player, driving a "Pretty Sheep Sheep" scooter, kicked off the ground, and the scooter accelerated wildly as if it had a rocket booster attached.

Right at that moment, a crossbow bolt shot through the air. Its trajectory shifted slightly midway, and it pierced clean through his forehead!

He had gotten too close to the Mad King Building, entering the attack range of some turrets with auto-aiming capabilities!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, that hurts!" The Amusement Park Building player's face twisted in pain as he yanked the crossbow bolt out of his head while shouting!

This scene left the Mad King Building players on the corridor dumbfounded.

Did this guy have some kind of special skill?

How was he still alive after that?

However, this wasn't an isolated case. Other Amusement Park Building players who got hit showed no abnormal signs at all, other than shouting about how much it hurt and how angry they were.

"Are they unkillable?!" The Sword Saint stood in the first-floor corridor, long blade in hand, his expression grave.

Just then, the chat room interface automatically popped up—it was a special notification he had set for someone.

He had only set up this kind of notification for two people: one was the human loudspeaker from the Neighborhood Committee, and the other was Xu Lang.

And right now, it was Xu Lang speaking in the chat room.

[Room 400, Xu Lang: Amusement Park Building players have a Joy Value. As long as their Joy Value isn't depleted, they won't take real damage.]

The Joy Value of Amusement Park Building players was just like SAN value—a special enhancement tied to the player's identity.

As long as they still had Joy Value, even if their arm was severed, it would instantly regenerate.

—Only happiness is real; everything else is fake!

And what was particularly terrifying was that Joy Value had no upper limit!

Happiness is limitless!

Furthermore, the Amusement Park Building had a massive supply of items that provided Joy Value, and they weren't even considered rare.

Of course, there were hidden restrictions too.

That was that Joy Value was difficult to stack infinitely. Most ordinary Amusement Park Building players had Joy Values in the 300–500 range.

Kill them a few times, and they would die!

Some Amusement Park Building players had already died. Even with their lightning-fast mounts, the closest they could get to the Mad King Building was about a hundred meters.

"Dammit, Brother Haonan, Xiao Hong is dead! How are this building's turrets so vicious?!"

An Amusement Park Building player exclaimed in shock. He did a drift turn and started running around in circles.

At the same time, he pulled out a Molotov cocktail and hurled it at the Mad King Building.

Whoosh~

Mid-flight, the Molotov cocktail was shot and exploded by a Mad King Building player.

Similar scenes kept playing out in front of the Mad King Building. The Amusement Park Building players were fast, sure, but they were also somewhat timid, lacking a resolute and decisive side.

If they all charged together, they should be able to break into the dormitory building.

That was assuming the Mad Vanguards didn't exist...

Over seven hundred Mad Vanguards had already been alerted!!!

These monsters, born to defend the Mad King Building, erupted with an extremely terrifying killing intent toward the Amusement Park Building players!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Crimson lightning bolts zipped across the battlefield, relentlessly reaping the lives of Amusement Park Building players.

All the Mad Vanguards surged out at once. From a high vantage point, it looked like a sudden crimson ocean rising up—how could that not be horrifying?

"Shit, shit, shit! What kind of monsters are these?!"

"Run! Brother Bai, run!"

"These are the Building Guards of the Mad King Building... Damn, how is the mechanism this complicated? Infinite evolution? Bros, strike them down now! Don't drag this into a prolonged fight!"

"No good! There are too many Mad Vanguards!"

"Fall back, fall back, fall back! The main force is almost here. We'll charge together then!"

The Amusement Park Building players did a lap around the front of the Mad King Building, then urgently retreated.

The Mad Vanguards chased after them, killing as they went, and finally collided violently with the main Amusement Park Building force!

...

On the thirteenth floor, Li Shuwen gazed into the distance, looking past the vanguard at the main force behind them. His expression turned serious.

Li Wenwen was standing beside him now. After several rounds of games, her strength had increased significantly. She was no longer that fragile crafting-focused player who would shatter at the slightest touch.

"The main force is coming!" Li Shuwen said in a low tone.

Only a few people stood near him—Li Wenwen, Zhu Yan, and a handful of others. Everyone else kept their distance.

Li Shuwen's Charm value was simply too low, making people instinctively want to stay away.

"Those vehicles seem unusual," Zhu Yan said with a frown.

When the Amusement Park Building players' vehicles collided with things, they burst into colorful stars with considerable lethality. They even worked against the Mad Vanguards.

This was a special splash damage effect that the Amusement Park Building had imbued into their vehicles.

Although players from the other two buildings weren't far from the Mad King Building anymore, it was still the Amusement Park Building players charging at the very front.

Zhu Yan looked up and stared at the countdown in the sky.

Three minutes hadn't even passed, yet the momentum of the Building War was already showing its teeth. Just standing here, he had already been scanned by who knew how many gazes.

Surviving three hours probably wouldn't be easy.

Rough estimates suggested the Amusement Park Building had about three thousand players, Heaven's Judgment Building had over two thousand, and Evil King Building had around a thousand.

These were all living, breathing players, not stupid, dull monsters.

This was going to be tough!

Finally, he looked up at the ceiling, in the direction of Demon King Castle, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The Demon King's Apostles were immortal and indestructible.

So what kind of ability did the Demon King himself have?

After ruling the Mad King Building for nearly ten rounds of the game, just how many hidden cards had Xu Lang stashed away?!
