Chapter 623: I Should Be Able to Tough It Out, Right? After All, It’s Just Boredom
Outside.
Void battlefield.
The moment Cao Yaxuan and the others saw Xu Lang enter the time-space gate, he reappeared one second later.
“Is it over?” Senior Sister Red Butterfly looked totally surprised.
“Lang Ge is so fast.” Chi Qingman wore an admiring expression, like she wanted to offer emotional support but didn’t quite know how.
Wang Yazhi’s face was full of worry. “Xu Lang, are you okay?”
Han Zhixiu asked, “Did you really spend a million years in there?!”
All the Mad King Building players around them were astonished. When they checked the Mad King Building points, they found that the score had indeed increased by one point.
Is it that easy to get a point?
“Mm.” Xu Lang nodded. He noticed that Xu Ruyan and the others were looking at him differently now. He smiled and said, “But you are not allowed to go in.”
“Understood.” Xu Ruyan nodded immediately and pulled Xu Xiaomeng close.
“I didn’t want to go,” Xu Xiaomeng muttered.
Things Xu Lang had repeatedly warned them about were best not done, or else who knew how badly they might suffer.
“Dorm Owner, my tenant wants to try!”
Suddenly, Floating Life Play stepped out from the crowd with a sly, wicked smile.
Beside him stood a frail-looking male player. He seemed weak, but whenever his eyes flicked to Xu Lang, they burned with fervor.
This one was restless.
“Floating Life Play, are you coercing players again?” Gu Ya frowned, her attitude icy.
Ayiguli and Jinsha, the other two women, also showed displeasure.
No matter what they thought privately, at this moment they had to side with Gu Ya. It was a show of support.
Before Floating Life Play could speak, the thin male player blurted out, “Dorm Owner, my name is Li Xuehao. I volunteer to go into the time-space gate and win this round of the game for Demon King Castle!”
He looked fanatical, practically ready to shout that Demon King Castle would last forever.
A true zealot.
Tsk, that kid’s brainwashed. If he goes through that gate, he might actually make it.
Still, sending your own follower to do work for Mad King Building is basically like delivering a bride to their door.
“No need. I stayed inside for a million years because I used a special method. If you actually stay a million years, you’ll go insane.” Xu Lang said calmly, “This round we concede. Let the other three buildings play it out.”
Li Xuehao was instantly moved, falling into Xu Lang’s halo and crying, “I’m willing, I really am…”
Nightmare Eye·Li Xuehao: Lord Demon King, this shows he doesn’t believe in himself…
“I believe in you.” Xu Lang waved his hand. “But don’t be Floating Life Play’s tenant anymore. Go be the Floor Leader of the eighth floor. I’ll have the Neighborhood Committee send supplies to you later.”
Li Xuehao was stunned, then overcame with joy and wept like a waterfall. “Thank you for the Dorm Owner’s grace!”
The Mad King Building players erupted.
“Dorm Owner, I volunteer to go into the time-space gate too!”
“I’ve wanted to go for ages, to do what I can for Mad King Building!”
“Move aside, move aside, I’ll charge into battle for Mad King Building!”
“…”
The commotion on the Mad King Building side drew glances from players of the other three buildings.
“What do we do? They actually got one point. This time travel thing doesn’t seem that hard.” A player from Amusement Park Building bit his finger, hesitating before saying, “Dog Floor Leader, prepare a hundred portions of happy snacks for me. I want to try going in!”
Instantly, the scene burst into cheers.
The Dog Floor Leader looked gratified. “Qian Tong, we appreciate your determination, everyone in Amusement Park Building is pleased, but isn’t a hundred portions of happy snacks a bit much?”
Qian Tong replied indignantly, “A hundred portions of happy snacks, too many? I eat one every ten thousand years!”
“Fine, fine.” The Dog Floor Leader sighed and scanned the circle, staring deliberately at the other floor leaders. “Everyone chip in, support our brave one.”
“Ah Dog, you’re so stingy!” one floor leader sneered, but still produced ten portions of snacks from a pink backpack.
When everyone saw those ten portions, their eyes lit up.
After they pooled a hundred portions of happy snacks, Qian Tong strode into the time-space gate.
…
Entering the time-space gate, Qian Tong saw a scene identical to Xu Lang’s: an empty field and a boundless horizon.
“What is this? Rescue button? Resolve button? And this Information Slip…”
Qian Tong saw three stone pillars and hurried forward. The content on the Information Slip quickly captured his attention and he exclaimed in astonishment.
“This is a secret, right? Or left by a senior before us!”
“Awesome, from a Dead God Building player. Just hearing that building sounds formidable!”
“How did this Information Slip even generate? I wonder if our Amusement Park Building has a chance to name itself…”
As Qian Tong read, he casually placed his hand on the green button.

The green button pressed down.
“Oh no, how clumsy of me!” Qian Tong backed up in panic, his tone full of fear, but the corners of his mouth were pulled up, disturbingly smiling.
Now there was no turning back.
He disliked the weak version of himself and was afraid he would really retreat.
…
One day later.
Qian Tong had spread out everything he had brought and set up a small home.
If he dared to come here, he had confidence.
[Infinite Happy Bread Maker]
[Type: Permanent Item]
[Rank: EX]
[Rarity: EX]
[Effect: Creates happy bread without consuming resources, up to 3 loaves simultaneously. Each loaf provides 20 Joy Value, cooldown 1 hour]
“Happiness is eternal!”
“As long as I have Joy Value, I can stay happy forever!”
“Now, I’m going to double my happiness!”
“Heh heh heh…”
Qian Tong ran out of the tent and took out a dirty magazine.
This magazine wasn’t ordinary; it induced both pleasure and sexual arousal in its reader. The black market merchant had once offered a high price for it, and he had refused to sell.
“If I don’t make the home dirty, I really am a good boy!” Qian Tong quickly showed a look of enjoyment.
…
Ten days later.
The pilot was still in the blue sky.
…
A month later, changes began to appear.
Qian Tong felt things had grown a bit boring, so he explored farther and accidentally strayed too far, nearly failing to return.
That made him vow never to wander off again.
Without his belongings, he didn’t know how to survive.
“Sigh, has only a month passed?” Qian Tong held a pocket watch and sighed.
A million years as a time scale seemed a little too long for a human.
“I should be able to tough it out, right? After all, it’s just boredom.” Qian Tong vaguely regretted his initial rash move.
He wasn’t Han Xin; did he really have the qualifications to stake everything on a do-or-die gamble?
