Chapter 582: Mad King Building Starts a Crowdfunding Drive, Big Spender Xu Lang Shows Off a Little Skill
At noon, the Mad King Building broadcast suddenly rang out, catching everyone completely off guard.
【Mad King Building Broadcast——】
【Today marks the eighth day since the Scarlet End descended. The Blood Calamity's laws have reached their peak. The Mad King Building is currently resisting the Blood Calamity's laws... Players are requested to donate Copper Coins, Silver Coins, and Gold Coins to help the Mad King Building prevail. The dorm with the highest donations will have all its members receive the "Helping Hand" title】
In the Chat Room, an uproar erupted.
【249 Zhu Yan: What the hell is the Mad King Building pulling now, a crowdfunding drive!?】
【195 Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen: Everyone should chip in a bit. The Mad King Building is probably in real trouble!】
【240 Zhao Lei: Helping Hand, what's the use of that title?】
【143 Guo Xun: It's definitely going to the Demon King Castle. No one else stands a chance】
【233 Ye Fan: We've already donated some Copper Coins. Maybe Brother Lang isn't interested in this title】
Inside the Demon King Castle.
Everyone exchanged glances.
"Xu Lang, what do you think?" Cao Yaxuan asked, then added, "Surely the Mad King Building hasn't run out of options, has it? Making us players chip in like this."
A donation box appeared in every player's field of vision... They could donate just by touching it with their mind.
Xu Lang glanced at the Golden Time Rewind Clock, a slightly guilty thought forming in his mind.
Had he really driven the Mad King Building to the brink?
"Donate all our spare cash for now. We've already got way too many Copper Coins as it is." Xu Lang looked at Mary and spoke.
Mary nodded. "I'll transfer the Copper Coins to you now."
Xu Lang only had a few tens of millions in pocket money for daily expenses. The bulk of it was all kept with Mary.
The Demon King Castle donated several hundred million Copper Coins in one go. The donation box vanished from all the players' view, and the Mad King Building broadcast chimed in again, repeatedly.
【Thanks to player funding, the Mad King Building's divine power has surged!】
【The Scarlet End Epidemic Law's judgment has failed. The Mad King Building prevails. No law changes!】
【The Scarlet End Extreme Cold Law's judgment has failed. The Mad King Building prevails. No law changes!】
【The Scarlet End Darkness Law's judgment has failed. The Mad King Building prevails. No law changes!】
【In this battle, the Mad King Building has triumphed on all fronts. No laws have been corrupted or nullified!】
【This is the achievement of all the building's players!】
【May we work together with one heart in the Blood Mist World, moving forward hand in hand. Let us encourage each other!】
【The dorm with the highest donation this time is "Demon King Castle." The title reward has been distributed!】
The Mad King Building broadcast was unusually excited. At the same time, the Mad King Building trembled slightly, as if shaking off some kind of dust.
【249 Zhu Yan: 666, they raised the funds in just two minutes!】
【370 Pandora: The Dorm Owner definitely threw in a big one!】
【380 Wang Tingting: Agreed!】
【288 Cao Bin: Agreed!】
【210 Gu Yan: Agreed!】
Xu Lang listened to the broadcast content and suddenly had a flash of understanding.
Those Scarlet End laws must have been hurting the Mad King Building itself. That's why it didn't just let them run wild.
Otherwise, knowing the Mad King Building's usual stinking attitude, it would have found some excuse to screw over the players.
The Blood Calamity's laws of the Scarlet End had reached their peak. The other players might not know what that meant for their fate, but Xu Lang knew all too well.
In the Titan Ruins, the world had gone pitch black, like a black curtain draped across the sky. At the same time, a bone-chilling wind swept in from every direction, making the Gray Giant shiver uncontrollably.
Gulp~
A thunderous rumble came from his stomach. The Gray Giant felt every single cell screaming with hunger, and he couldn't endure it for even a second. He grabbed whatever was nearby and started gnawing on it.
Even with the Taleblade Demon Box warning him nearby, he remained completely oblivious.
In the darkness, the laws of survival had been twisted. Countless blood mists had fallen into an extreme state of hunger, eating anything they could get their hands on!
Even if they encountered a creature stronger than themselves or one of their own kind, they still wanted to devour them. And what's more, they had already lost all ability to reason.
In this pitch-black world, there was no higher or lower, no friends or family, only themselves and food!
"Compared to that, the dormitory building really is a survival paradise!"
Just as Xu Lang was silently praising the Dorm Survival Game in his mind, his sleeve was tugged by Xu Xiaomeng.
"Brother Lang, this title actually seems pretty good, hehe~" Xu Xiaomeng grinned cheerfully.
【Title "Helping Hand" (Rare): You have made an outstanding contribution to the Mad King Building. As long as you are within the Mad King Building's Safe Zone, you can teleport directly back to your dorm. Cooldown: 1 day】
"Hmph, it's decent for getting around, but the cooldown is a bit long." Xu Lang said with a faint smile.
A title earned so easily was bound to not be all that great.
Having a Rare rarity was already par for the course.
"The Scarlet End has already reached its peak. It should be over in a few days." Wang Yazhi glanced at the image on the Surveillance Camera screen, a bit more smile on her face.
The Mad King Building had been flooded for so long. Everyone's mood had been pretty down.
"Right, right! But once the Blood Calamity is truly over, we'll be starting the tenth round of the game, won't we?" Miaoying knelt by Xu Lang's leg, her ears twitching as she spoke. "The tenth round... isn't it supposed to be a... promotion match?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted.
"I've had Sherry compile all the information on Building Wars that we could gather. Since we have some free time now, let's take a look together." Xu Lang tapped the table, shifting everyone's attention.
"Brother Lang, you actually prepared such good stuff~" Xu Xiaomeng looked at him with pure admiration.
Han Zhixiu glanced sideways, unable to help crossing her long, shapely legs on the coffee table, showing off her most beautiful side.
Worshiping the strong was something ingrained in this woman's bones.
For a capable man, this was definitely a kind of pleasure.
Because this type of girl had a strong sense of service. In simple terms, she was a pleaser.
"Mm, we've been preparing for a long time." Sherry flashed a smile, pulling a thick manuscript from her backpack. "We've collected thirty-six reliable Building Wars battle reports. Among them, these five are the most valuable for reference..."
Sherry began explaining the details to the women.
Later, this information would also be published in the newspaper, so that all Mad King Building players could be mentally prepared.
In an army, cultural education was also very important. That way, everyone could develop a collective consciousness, and some of the stupidity among the bottom-tier players could be dismantled, preventing it from affecting the higher-ups.
For the entire afternoon, everyone in the Demon King Castle was studying the Building Wars.
Later in the day, the darkness in the Blood Mist World became less hopeless. A faint glimmer of light was barely visible, and Xu Lang directed the Gray Giant to continue toward Titan Dragon City.
The Taleblade Demon Box supplied the Gray Giant with some food, keeping his hunger at bay.
This made the Gray Giant even more respectful toward the Taleblade Demon Box, practically treating it as his new parents.
Any other blood mist creature in the world that so much as glanced in the direction of the Taleblade Demon Box would be smashed into pulp by him.
The moon rose and set. The chaos in the Titan Ruins raged on from day to night, never ceasing.
In this super chaotic atmosphere, super creatures appeared one after another!
Xu Lang spotted a thousand-meter-tall giant, seven or eight times taller than the Gray Giant. From a distance, its head looked like it was almost touching the moon. It was completely insane!
Even in the everything-is-gigantic Titan Ruins, this thing was enormous. One palm strike and the wind force alone could change the terrain of the city district.
If it were placed in the Dorm Survival Game's evaluation system, it might even rank higher than the Apocalypse Fighter Jets.
And this was just one of the super creatures Xu Lang had seen.
The number of super creatures that had emerged across the entire Titan Ruins because of this Blood Calamity law could probably not be counted.
The Blood Mist World... was just too damn twisted.
