Chapter 645: Kui Zi Demands the Lava Core, Searches for the "New World," and the Black Crown is Activated!
During the meal, Wang Yazhi talked about her experience going out.
After obtaining the Lava Core, she was cornered by Heaven's Judgment Building players but managed to fight her way out in the end.
Xu Lang's combat power was on a completely different level, and Wang Yazhi's combat power was showing signs of reaching a similar tier.
A B-rank frontline Sequence, and a combat-type transformation one at that—the boost it gave to her fighting strength was simply enormous.
If Xu Lang didn't accumulate enough Herd Spirits, then the actual combat boost from the Scarlet Shepherd Sequence was far inferior to the Rakshasa Sequence.
"That Lava Giant Beast really pissed me off!" Wang Yazhi vented her frustration about the Lava Giant Beast.
Looking at the Lava Core placed on the table, she felt both annoyed and amused.
That Lava Giant Beast was incredibly smart and also incredibly powerful.
This feeling of being both strong and cowardly subconsciously reminded her of Xu Lang... As sorry as she felt for making the comparison, that was the truth.
As the saying goes, "Once I enter the pass, there will naturally be great scholars to debate the scriptures for me."
That was Xu Lang in a nutshell—on the outside, his image was certainly fierce and brutal, with a demon king living in the Demon King Castle, living up to the name. But on the inside, everyone knew that Xu Lang was just too lazy to move—if he could lie down, he wouldn't sit, and if he could sit, he wouldn't stand.
It was just like how Wang Yazhi was an ethereal, otherworldly beauty under the moonlight on the outside, but had her own little temper on the inside.
"Haha, was that Lava Giant Beast really that amusing?" Tong Qi asked.
"Its punches were heavy, and it was very cunning. Thankfully, it didn't have any large-area knockback skills, or else I really wouldn't have gotten the Lava Core." Wang Yazhi had only refrained from using her true form because of the Lava Giant Beast's terrifying stats; if she had taken one of its punches, she would have lost half her life.
A level forty Commander-tier monster was still not something players at this stage could handle.
Most players invested most of their resources into their dormitories, so their personal combat capabilities were limited.
"Lang Ge, what are you planning to do with this Lava Core?" Kui Zi asked.
"This is something Yazhi obtained, so Yazhi should decide for herself," Xu Lang said with a smile.
"Then I'll use it to temper my Moonlight Sword," Wang Yazhi said, already having a plan in mind.
The Moonlight Sword was her primary weapon, a Legendary-grade item.
"Stop!" Kui Zi quickly interjected. "Yazhi, could you give this Lava Core to me?"
Wang Yazhi raised an eyebrow, looking at this military-uniformed sister who was always devoted to her research: "Is it useful for your Sequence?"
"No." Kui Zi shook her head. "I've already deciphered part of the Apocalypse Fighter Jet's weapon systems. If I modify this Lava Core a bit, it should be able to serve as the energy source for the 'Apocalypse Hand Cannon.' As for the evaluation of the Hand Cannon's power..."
Before she could finish explaining the value of the Apocalypse Hand Cannon, Wang Yazhi tossed the Lava Core to her.
"Thank you..." Kui Zi nodded in thanks, a hint of surprise in her heart.
She had spent relatively little time with the other girls and wasn't quite familiar with their way of doing things yet.
"It's nothing, just an item," Wang Yazhi said with a smile.
Demon King Castle put people first.
Ordinary players would literally fight to the death over a good item, even if they had been cheerfully eating together just a second before.
Kindness and benevolence belonged only to those who could afford them.
Only a low-end Darwinian society would treat people as tools.
Xu Lang's value for his tenants also led to mutual respect among the tenants themselves.
Cao Yaxuan and Wang Yazhi were both hard-earned, top-tier Pals for grinding points—more important than any facility.
Not to mention the emotional factor.
Outsiders would never imagine that the interior of Demon King Castle was so harmonious and friendly.
After the matter of the Lava Core was settled, Xu Lang began to recount his two Limit Break Trials.
This experience was extremely valuable; if it were made public, it would truly be worth a fortune.
You see, when it came to supernatural experiences, everyone tended to be vague about them, because they could easily be traced, revealing their own secrets.
That was why Transcendents were always tight-lipped about their experiences.
But in front of Cao Yaxuan and the others, Xu Lang naturally didn't have to worry about that—after all, they were tenants and the Dorm Owner.
Still, Xu Lang concealed some core details related to the Nightmare Lord Sequence.
"The Mad King's Emblem, is that the medal on your chest?"
"Nine Shadows Beneath the King, so Xu Lang, your combat power has multiplied nine times!?"
"Chaos State, this talent sounds so mysterious!"
The girls chattered away, with Xu Xiaomeng and Cao Yaxuan being the most enthusiastic, asking question after question.
Xu Lang answered them one by one.
Time passed quickly.
After the meal, Mary and the others cleared the dishes.
Xu Lang slumped back in his seat, looking at the Golden Time Rewind Clock, lost in thought.
A whole night had passed, yet the Golden Time Rewind Clock still showed Blood Mist Era year 93,333, July 3rd.
The time zone of the Blood Mist World hadn't changed...
"The time in the Blood Mist World hasn't changed, but I slept for a whole day yesterday, and my Nightmare Coins really did increase!"
"As long as I'm not in a boring world like the one on the other side of the Time-Space Gate, but in a real world, then the Nightmare Bed's cooldown can refresh!"
"If I can find a real world during my rest time where time flows dozens of times slower, then by the time I come back, the Mad King Building would really have to call me daddy!"
Xu Lang's heart was surging with excitement; he felt like he had found another new path.
He had similar ideas before, but he never had the ability to implement them.
But now it was different. He had the strength to make a small expedition, and with teleportation tools like the Astral Foundation and the Taleblade Demon Box, there was no reason he couldn't find an ideal new world.
It would be best to mention this to Sherry.
If Sherry searched through the ancient texts, she might be able to find a similar world or time-space.
"Sister Sherry..." Xu Lang called Sherry over.
...
After the extreme cold and extreme heat came the Eternal Night.
Xu Lang was very familiar with this instance, because he had experienced it before.
To be honest, he was quite looking forward to encountering vampires again this time, so he could get Blood Contract Skills for Han Zhixiu and the others as well.
Humanoid-type Transcendent creatures all had decent Charm stats, unless they were a very inferior Transcendent race...
And unfortunately, the creatures that appeared this time were extremely inferior.
Ogres, Swan-people, and Skeleton Soldiers!
None of the Dark Creatures in this Eternal Night were worth mentioning.
Fortunately, these were all legitimate game monsters that could drop items, including some facilities of decent quality.
The moment the first facility item dropped, Xu Lang stopped holding back and put on the Black Crown!
There were no other players in the Mad King Building's dorms, so the monsters attacking the Mad King Building were already concentrated on the twentieth floor.
But now, the moment Xu Lang put on the Black Crown, the Dark Creatures that were attacking the other three dormitory buildings all shuddered at once. Then, as if answering some fanatical and fatal call, they rushed madly toward the Mad King Building!
Some monsters lost their minds and jumped straight down from the upper floors, breaking themselves into cripples. Then, dragging their broken bodies, they continued crawling in the direction of the Mad King Building!
The players from the Evil King Building, the Heaven's Judgment Building, and the Amusement Park Building had no idea what was happening. They only heard the monsters suddenly let out loud roars, and then the entire horde rioted in unison.
"What the hell, so many monsters roaring out there. There were actually this many monsters hidden outside? Good thing we didn't open the door!"
"Why are they suddenly making such a big noise? Have these monsters gone crazy?"
"The roars are getting further away. It seems like the monsters have found something!"
"The feeling these Dark Creatures give me is like they've found a Blood Grudge Holder..."
"By the sound of it, it seems like all the monsters are heading toward the Mad King Building. Did the Mad King Building trigger some kind of special trait?"
"Very possible. Hurry up and tell the Floor Leaders about this!"
"Haha, could it be a negative trait? That's kind of messed up. If those Mad King players are so strong, there must be a price to pay!"
