Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

"Ah, help!!!"

"How are there so many explosive droplets!?"

"Run, they're coagulating again!"

"Head somewhere with no air, fast!"

"Dig a tunnel!"

"No, the void battlefield isn't the capital, there are no tunnels!"

"Hahahaha, Old Xu, that joke of yours is hilarious, thank you, my Joy Value just increased!"

"Inspiration is like a fart, once it comes you can't hold it!"

"Look, look, that idiot Guan Jingxiao got blown up into fireworks, his Joy Value must be low, let's keep him miserable every day, hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

On the void battlefield, the players hiding outside the dormitory building were blown into chaos, their mounts and seats almost all destroyed. If it weren't for their Joy Value acting as a blank health bar, most of them would have died on the spot.

Panicked shouts and laughter rang out everywhere. Some Amusement Park Building players were crying from the pain while laughing, looking completely insane.

They used every means to flee—flying, burrowing—yet in the end it was all in vain.

In the air, explosive droplets coagulated, like a countdown to death!

From all directions, from sky to ground, explosions roared without stop!

No place to hide, no place to conceal!

"The dorm is the safest place..."

A player from the Amusement Park Building, moments before dying, felt overwhelming regret. He had neglected the most important survival rule for players.

Although his dormitory gate might not withstand endless blasts, it was still a home. As long as the dorm existed, there was a chance to breathe and time to think.

[ right·angel turret Durability -3 ]

Xu Lang waited a moment, his expression turning oddly strange.

The explosions looked fierce, but their actual destructive power seemed mediocre.

Of course, the main reason was that the facilities in Demon King Castle were too high-level. For other dorms it was indiscriminate bombardment, but here at Demon King Castle it was just light drizzle.

Even his turrets barely lost any durability. The Golden Fortune Auspicious Door, which was condensing Time's Power, was even more unbothered; its durability ticked down very slowly.

"Xu Lang, this round doesn't seem too bad for us." Cao Yaxuan said with a pleased expression, "We don't even need to consume many raw materials."

Putting aside the rest of Mad King Building, the supermarket was excellent. Whenever new turrets or doors appeared, the supermarket refreshed corresponding materials—though the prices were not humble.

For ordinary players that was one thing.

But for Cao Yaxuan and the others, naturally it meant buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!

Money?

It's just a number!

"This is good." Tong Qi nodded repeatedly.

During the earlier meal they had worried this round might be tough, fearing the Dorm Survival Game would go hard and blow their dorm gate to pieces, but it seemed fine.

"The previous worries were totally unnecessary!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly revealed a wicked smile, her tone eerie. "Have you forgotten the game's rule?"

"What rule?" Zhen Lu asked in surprise.

She felt there was a hint behind Red Butterfly's words.

"The rule about surviving until the end!" Red Butterfly suddenly grew a bit fanatical, tightening her legs. "We don't need to be that strong, we just need to be stronger than other players. That's the Dorm Survival Game. It's wonderful!!!"

Zhen Lu looked at Red Butterfly, who had gone suddenly mad, and was speechless.

"Red Butterfly, you seem to remember these survival lessons more firmly than any of us." Tong Qi said with worry.

"Of course!" Red Butterfly said proudly. "I'm the smartest person in Demon King Castle!"

Tong Qi suddenly grabbed Red Butterfly's hands, eyes glistening with tears. "You must have suffered a lot before. Don't be like that anymore. You have us now, you don't have to live in fear of survival."

Red Butterfly froze, then took two panicked steps back. "Little Tong, what are you doing? Saying that suddenly—if you want to win the Dorm Survival Game you must become a survival master. Having a sense of crisis is the best state!"

That was a rare serious remark.

Xu Lang stroked his chin. Red Butterfly's intelligence seemed to have risen considerably.

Then he looked at Tong Qi, feeling that Tong Qi was a little off.

"But Demon King Castle is our home. At home we don't need to be like this." Tong Qi suddenly hugged Red Butterfly. "That's what a home is for!"

Red Butterfly instantly teared up. "Tong Qi, yours is so big!"

Tong Qi's face darkened. "Can't you be moved by something else?"

"Idiot, it's because what you said is so touching, otherwise why would I cry!" Red Butterfly scolded.

Tong Qi was left speechless.

You should have said something like 'I'm moved,' not 'yours is so big'—that doesn't make sense at all!

"Waaah~" Red Butterfly, slightly taller than Tong Qi, buried her head in Tong Qi's chest, her bottom high in the air.

Tong Qi felt awkward and met Xu Lang's gaze.

Xu Lang's eyes widened, and he glared at Tong Qi.

At that moment, the second Tong Qi came down from the second floor. She froze on the spot at the ugly sight of her own ghost pet.

Wasn't this also a kind of Minotaur?

Xu Ruyan, sensing something, turned to see the real Tong Qi and twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Wasn't Tong Qi on the observation deck? How did she come down so quickly?

The observation deck had a wider view than a surveillance camera. Tong Qi had gone up to check the outside situation.

"You..." Tong Qi pointed at Xu Ruyan, her mind in chaos.

Tong Qi is me—no, Tong Qi is Xu Ruyan—no, Xu Ruyan had disguised herself as me!

So why was Red Butterfly crying?

Did you bully Red Butterfly?

Xu Lang was standing right behind Red Butterfly at this point; could it be...

She anxiously went up on tiptoe and found Xu Lang hadn't committed the deed, releasing a sigh of relief.

Just then, a private message popped up.

[ Xu Ruyan: Little Tong, it's not what you think ]

Not what I think?! I think that's exactly what happened!

Tong Qi had just relaxed, but seeing Xu Ruyan's defense she repeatedly confirmed that Xu Lang hadn't done it.

This was reputation!

Xu Ruyan had been rather serious before, but since ascending the Killer Sequence she'd grown playful. When farming points, she often teamed with Xu Lang to prank people.

[ Tong Qi: What's wrong with Red Butterfly? ]

[ Xu Ruyan: Glad you're not mad at me ]

[ Tong Qi: I AM MAD! ]

[ Xu Ruyan: Uh... ]

[ Tong Qi: I'm going to have Lang Ge punish you, ten minutes of Non-Stop Combo! ]

[ Xu Ruyan: ... ]

Xu Ruyan appeared to still be holding Red Butterfly, but in truth she had activated Soul Fleeing Beyond the Heavens.

Ten minutes... that was vicious.

If Tong Qi really complained, Xu Lang would gladly oblige.

Because Xu Ruyan had indeed done wrong.

She had once said she wouldn't mimic others without permission. Now not only had she acted privately, she had also made Red Butterfly cry.

Xu Ruyan hid in Tong Qi's shadow, Red Butterfly hid inside Tong Qi's body; the three were a unit and had been unstoppable during pioneering.

Their close relationship explained why Xu Ruyan imitated Tong Qi to prank Red Butterfly.

Of course, not being close wouldn't stop her either...

Xu Lang knew she had, on several occasions, privately simulated Zhen Lu, Gu Ya, Ayiguli, and others.

[ Xu Ruyan: Fine... but don't say anything yet, Red Butterfly will be angry if she finds out ]

Red Butterfly was the type who felt crying was embarrassing; if she knew the Tong Qi in front of her was actually Xu Ruyan, she might not speak to Xu Ruyan for days. At worst, the little trio would break up.

Tong Qi pouted and vanished into the corridor.

At that moment she felt like a husband pretending to sleep!

And she didn't have the company visit script; she had the scenario where a wife meets true love, and that true love happened to be a close family member who lived with her!

Heavens! There's even an immorality tag!

The more she thought about it the stranger and more aggrieved she felt. Tong Qi sensed something odd in her own mind.

"I need to go see Mary about this psychological issue!"
