Chapter 627: Hidden Trial of the God of Boredom, Mythical-Level Item!
On the other side of the time-space gate, Xu Lang's feet touched the ground.
He extended his perception outward, probing for anomalies, while simultaneously preparing himself for a torrent of knowledge to flood his mind.
In his estimation, his three-hundred-level Martial Saint and War God skill information shouldn't have vanished into thin air; it should have been preserved.
"Nothing?"
Xu Lang furrowed his brow as a wave of boredom surged within him again.
So boring. It was truly, unbearably boring.
Did any of this really have meaning?
Did tormenting players like this in the Dorm Survival Game truly hold any profound significance?
What a tiresome fellow.
"These three stone pillars are still here, and this information slip..."
Xu Lang casually pressed the green perseverance button, then began examining the contents of the information slip.
There was a lot of content, but it all felt strangely dull.
"Boring."
Xu Lang yawned, preparing to catch some sleep, but froze when he tried to summon the Nightmare Bed.
A chill suddenly rose from the depths of his heart, snapping him instantly awake!
He had come here to sleep?!
After spending so much Nightmare Essence, and all he wanted to do was sleep?!
"What the hell kind of place is this, anyway?"
Xu Lang steadied his mind. After all, this was only a dream. Even if there was danger, there was nothing to fear.
Then, he discovered something extremely bizarre.
—The Nightmare Essence had stopped fluctuating. It wasn't dropping anymore!
Xu Lang had never encountered such a thing before.
He wasn't panicked, however, because he knew full well that this was a dream!
And in a dream, he had no opponent!
No matter how bizarre this damn place was, it had no right to affect the abilities of the Nightmare Lord!
"This place is pure monotony and boredom. It looks spacious, but it doesn't require much computing power to run!"
"If normally I consume 1G of traffic simulating one second, then here, one second only consumes 1 bit!"
"So the question is, under normal circumstances, how the hell do I get out of this place?"
As he pondered, Xu Lang yawned again.
It wasn't some external force affecting him. The place was just purely boring, like a small game that didn't even need 1M of memory.
Thinking it over, Xu Lang summoned the Nightmare Bed. This action, too, didn't cause any fluctuation in the Nightmare Essence.
This meant that even his act of summoning the bed was too boring to cause any waves in the traffic pool.
"This stretch of spacetime might be fake... truly meaningless nothingness."
Xu Lang thought to himself as he set a sleep duration.
Five hundred thousand years.
Five hundred thousand years later, Xu Lang woke up, began plowing the ground, and found no brick-like item that could be used to inscribe a void beacon. So, he went back to sleep.
...
Another five hundred thousand years passed. Xu Lang opened his eyes and put away the Nightmare Bed.
"One hundred fewer units of Nightmare Essence than before. Truly boring!"
Xu Lang clicked his tongue and looked up at the spatial gate that had appeared before him.
Without hesitation, Xu Lang stepped out.
...
When the Amusement Park Building players saw Xu Lang enter the time-space gate and then come back out, they were all greatly astonished.
"Dorm Owner of the Mad King Building, why did you go through our gate?"
"Bro, look quick! The Mad King Building's points didn't increase!"
"Hahaha, that's killing me! What a wasted trip!"
"Shh! Why are you actually laughing? Careful, he might chop you!"
"Haha, living happily is what matters, right? Why overthink everything?"
"Why didn't he explode?"
The consumption rate of the Nightmare Essence had returned to normal...
Xu Lang glanced at the total Nightmare Essence count, then headed toward the Evil King Building. On the way, he spotted the Evil Dragon fighting against players from Heaven's Judgment Building.
"Motherf*cker! How dare you look down on me!" the Evil Dragon roared, holding his own against multiple opponents with ferocious combat prowess.
Xu Lang had no interest in watching further. He draped Raphael's Cloak over himself and teleported straight into the time-space gate in front of the Heaven's Judgment Building.
None of the players expected someone to crash through their time-space gate, so he succeeded without any effort.
*Thump~*
His toes touched the ground, and Xu Lang found himself on the other side of the gate once more. Everything was so familiar.
"I'm already sick of seeing this."
Xu Lang glanced at the total Nightmare Essence count.
The moment he entered, one hundred units of Nightmare Essence were consumed, and then it got stuck. The Nightmare Essence didn't budge at all.
He walked forward, routinely checking the contents of the information slip, then summoned the Nightmare Bed and went straight to sleep.
Wake-up time: one million years!
...
Finally, Xu Lang headed for the time-space gate in front of the Evil King Building.
He repeated the previous procedure, checked the information slip, and then went straight to sleep.
The purpose of this simulation wasn't just to see the contents of the information slip; he was genuinely curious about what was on the other side of these gates.
Otherwise, he could have just restarted the Simulation Dream three times in a row, visited the three different time-space gates, and been done with it. There was no need to simulate everything from start to finish.
One million years later.
The time-space gate reappeared. Nothing special had happened.
Xu Lang was a bit unwilling to accept it. Before leaving, he turned back to take one last look at this space.
"Motherf*cker!"
The purest greeting for the most boring place.
Just as Xu Lang stepped into the time-space gate, a sigh and a murmur drifted into his ears.
This sigh sounded right next to his ear, like an echo drifting through thousands of layers of gauze, muffled and indistinct!
[The Dorm Survival Game informs you that you have passed the hidden trial and completed the unique hidden achievement "God of Boredom." Reward: "Chronos' Sigh." The reward has been delivered to your backpack. Please check it yourself.]
Xu Lang stood in front of the time-space gate, his heart churning like a stormy sea.
The Dorm Survival Game had given out a reward!
This was given by the Dorm Survival Game itself, not the Mad King Building!
Folks, the big boss was handing out bonuses!
Immediately, he opened his backpack, his eyes searching like a starving wolf's, until his gaze finally locked onto a faint purple sigh icon.
[Chronos' Sigh]
[Type: Item]
[Grade: ???]
[Rarity: Mythical]
[Effect: Changes the properties of an item, granting it a time attribute.]
[Description: Are you or I trapped in the prison of time? Is it the former king, or the current prisoner?]
"Holy shit, a Mythical-level item!"
Xu Lang was utterly stunned, frozen in place.
The shouting and threats from the Evil King Building players around him sounded like a gentle breeze, completely unable to penetrate his consciousness.
Damn!
He had struck it rich!
Xu Lang hadn't felt this kind of jackpot thrill in a long time. Right now, it was like a withered tree meeting spring again, a great surge of heat erupting within his heart.
Just then, the attacks from the Evil King Building players came crashing down!
*Crack~*
The entire world shattered like a mirror, then slowly faded.
The simulation ended here.
In reality, Xu Lang opened his eyes, a blazing flame of fanaticism burning in his deep, profound pupils.
He lifted his head and gazed into the distance at this so-called void battlefield.
This place... definitely held no shortage of secrets!
