Chapter 599: Mad King Dormitory Building, Martial Fortune Will Surely Rise, Building War Countdown!
Inside the Demon King Castle, all the girls were awake and had gone out to play.
Only Xu Lang was still in bed.
If someone disturbed him now, he wouldn’t throw a melodramatic “waking grump,” but he would definitely grab them and mercilessly farm a pile of Nightmare Coins.

Xu Lang opened his eyes, and the Nightmare Bed’s ornate canopy came into view.
The sight was magnificent, yet Xu Lang’s expression betrayed annoyance.
Last night the other dreamlines had proceeded smoothly.
Wu Huihui and the others let Xu Lang see the true strength of the Mad King Building players, and the people in the Blood Mist World let him eyeball the general layout of the Titan Ruins.
That sense of control was intoxicating.
But the Rakshasa Incarnation line was the only one with problems!
There was far too little information to probe!
All he wanted was the complete story of the Mad King and the Mad King Building.
Yet those details were shrouded in a massive mystery. The Nightmare Eye could pick up traces, but learning the full timeline seemed impossible.
Unless he could bind Agatha to the Nightmare Bed and pry her open thoroughly.
Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking.
“The Mad King was the greatest emperor of the Blood Empire, and the Blood Empire fell because the Mad King imprisoned two gods.”
“Real gods.”
“He tried to siphon their power to become a god himself, went insane, and that brought about the instant annihilation of the entire Blood Empire.”
“Could the Mad King Building be a reconstruction of the Blood Empire?”
“Or is the Mad King Building merely under some pact with the Mad King and the Blood Empire, like a special NPC similar to the Machine King?”
Too many questions. Back then, Xu Lang could never get answers because the dormitory had erased those records.
Actually, knowing Agatha’s physical form already counted as a crime for others; she was high-level and mysterious, like the Tales from the Taleblade Demon Box.
In the transcendent realm, it’s genuinely hard to probe high-level secrets.
Xu Lang had finally encountered an NPC who knew inside information and could be bypassed via the Nightmare Eye’s isolation evasion, but his strength wasn’t enough, so he could only sigh helplessly.
“The dungeon in Dorm 395 is a special facility, it has the dormitory’s rule force. If I could trick Agatha into it and lock her up…”
Xu Lang felt that would maximize the benefit, but in practice it was nearly impossible.
Fate favored Agatha — this ability was just broken.
Lucky charms? Betting his life on it?
Xu Lang thought about it all night and still couldn’t figure out how to deal with Agatha.
The day after tomorrow, Agatha would officially make her appearance.
If tomorrow’s simulation still didn’t find a way to handle Agatha, he was ready to run.
Running away was perfectly normal.
Even if Demon King Castle was a top-tier dorm, even if it had so many core facilities and a Golden Time Rewind Clock…
The more he thought, the angrier he grew.
You, the Building, what right do you have to treat me like this!
I spilled blood for the Mad King Building, do you know?!
“Xu Lang, wake up, don’t stay cooped up at home!” At that moment, Cao Yaxuan flipped back the bed curtain, cheerfully calling out, “Huihui and the others are preparing a Rebirth Banquet, you—”
Cao Yaxuan’s words were cut off.
Xu Lang was indeed a little furious right now.
...
Today, Xu Lang lay on the Nightmare Bed all day.
Cao Yaxuan enjoyed the luxury and lay there with him all day.
She was an ice-attribute specialist, her ability spanning both the transcendent and material realms, able to calm people and lower their temperature — just what he needed.
When Xu Lang’s thoughts got muddled, he liked to have Cao Yaxuan condense two perfect ice blocks and rub his temples; it worked wonders.
Sleep until afternoon, sleep until midnight, sleep until eight the next morning — that was Xu Lang’s full-day routine.
...

“Today is Agatha’s last day of coming by. Tonight I can start the simulation. As Agatha’s door-breaking time approaches, the consumption rate of Nightmare Essence won’t be so fast.”
Xu Lang barely paid attention to the harvest; his thoughts were all about Agatha.
And oddly enough, the more he watched Agatha through the Nightmare Eye, the more peculiar feelings grew in his chest.
Agatha’s personality was quite childlike. Seeing she liked drones, he deliberately gave her two and even dropped the hook that he was an old friend of Raphael. Those obvious lures did catch Agatha’s interest.
Although she might still choose to kill him, she now displayed some tilted-head, mumbling special CGs that oddly gave him a sense of satisfaction — like collecting a pile of useless cards.
“Xu Lang, the blood water in the Safe Zone is completely cleaned up.” Sherry lifted a finger and poked Xu Lang.
Cao Yaxuan had been taught a harsh lesson yesterday and was a bit timid.
Without Senior Sister Red Butterfly to tank damage, with so many of them, they actually felt like they couldn’t beat Xu Lang.
This was embarrassing.
“Huh? What, are you all headed to the Coliseum?” Xu Lang asked casually.
“No, just talking,” Sherry said with an awkward smile.
Xu Lang raised an eyebrow and looked around. Aside from Cao Yaxuan, everyone else was awake and sneaking glances their way.
“If you’re going out, go ahead. Just stay safe — in a pinch you can use the Taleblade Demon Box…” Before Xu Lang finished, a shrill alarm blared throughout the entire Safe Zone!
This broadcast was unlike any before!
The voice abruptly rose, like a manic aria!
At the same time, the Mad King Building flashed red light, and a cacophony of billions of gears meshing and inhuman roars reverberated.
[Mad King Building Broadcast—]
[Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!]
[Mad King Building is about to be promoted to a first-tier dormitory, encountering attacks from Amusement Park Building, Heaven’s Judgment Building, and Evil King Building!]
[The vile Amusement Park Building, Heaven’s Judgment Building, and Evil King Building seek to sabotage the Mad King Building’s great cause, to stop the Mad King Building from bringing better game, service, and experience to Mad King players!]
[Building War application in progress!]
[Building War application complete!]
[At midnight tonight, there will be a Building War with Amusement Park Building, Heaven’s Judgment Building, and Evil King Building. The losers will lose everything; the winner takes all!]
[This is a war with no retreat!]
[The Mad King Building’s glory, rights, and power will be proven in this battle!]
[All Mad King Building players, march with me on this destined road to kingship. We are the vanguard charging first, the tyrants ruling the battlefield, the madmen tearing gods apart!]
[When the Mad King marches forth, ten thousand buildings retreat. In the Dorm Survival Game, we will be the sovereigns!]
[Mad King Dormitory Building, martial fortune will surely rise!]
