Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

June 26th, the sixth day of Scarlet End, ten o'clock at night.

Witch's Home.

All timelines in the world were steadily moving forward. While the Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society was expanding, the Golden Dawn was doing the same.

Regular members had now increased to thirty, and the administrators had increased to four.

They were Young Master, Unrivaled Under Heaven, Witch, and Main Character.

【Main Character: rubs nose, shakes head, gives a wry smile】

Seeing this introduction format, Xu Lang thought it was Hundred Ton King at first glance.

“What's up with this Main Character?” Xu Lang asked.

The Golden Dawn's intelligence value was very high. He attended every gathering, but he had never seen this so-called new administrator before.

“An admin who was dropped in five days ago. Seems to be a somewhat special player.” Pandora explained.

Xu Lang glanced sideways at her. “Looks like you don't know much either.”

That explanation was no different from saying nothing.

Pandora's small face instantly turned red, and she said angrily, “That's just how it is! I have to maintain my cold and aloof persona, I can't talk too much or ask too much!”

“Fine.” Xu Lang nodded, then reached out and stroked Pandora's glossy black long hair.

With this height difference, doing this action was way too convenient.

Just then, someone opened their mic in Golden Dawn.

【Young Master is continuously speaking…】

Young Master: “Rare sight. The Station Director is late. It's already past ten o'clock now.”

【Young Master, Unrivaled Under Heaven are continuously speaking…】

Unrivaled Under Heaven: “Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe something unexpected came up.”

【Young Master, Unrivaled Under Heaven, Main Character are continuously speaking…】

Seeing Main Character open their mic, Xu Lang immediately perked up his ears.

“Heh, when Lord of Dawn comes online, we'll have to ask him properly.”

Unexpectedly, Main Character's voice was a low female voice that naturally carried a serious tone, completely opposite to the abstract bio. It was quite the contrast.

After that, everyone exchanged a few idle words.

Young Master suddenly asked, “Witch, why aren't you saying anything?”

Pandora's expression shifted slightly. She didn't speak immediately but paused for a moment before opening her mic and saying, “Say what? Talk about how I, your queen, survived the Blood Calamity? To be honest, I'm already shocked that you're all still alive.”

Unrivaled Under Heaven: “Witch, mentioning this, I'm actually curious now. What kind of monster did you run into over there? I ran into a Scarlet Demon Frog, a giant frog as tall as a four-story building. Our dormitory building went all out and fought it for half an hour before killing it. Thankfully, it wasn't a health-regenerating type of monster, or else we'd have been in real trouble.”

Main Character: “What level?”

Unrivaled Under Heaven: “Hehe, that's a secret!”

Young Master: “Unrivaled Under Heaven is very cautious, Main Character, you'd better not try to pry it out of him.”

“Says the one who's just as cautious.” Pandora suddenly changed the topic and struck up a conversation with Young Master. “Young Master, I have some information about your Sequence here. Do you want to know it?”

Young Master: “Oh, you met someone of my Path!?”

Excitement was hard to conceal in his words, yet at the same time, a note of caution came through.

Young Master was a Sequence Holder, B-108 Lantern Bearer, a top-tier Later-born Sequence.

The highest a Later-born Sequence could go was A-rank.

Pandora: “No, I didn't. It's just that an extra Demon Box appeared in my dormitory. After feeding it some information, it gives back some information in return. I obtained a bit of intelligence about you this way.”

Young Master: “Damn, what are you trying to do?!”

【Xu Lang: Because I'm not a Sequence Holder, I'm very interested in Sequences. You're one of the strongest Sequence Holders I know】

Pandora stared intently at the private message box and read it verbatim: “Because I'm not a Sequence Holder, I'm very interested in Sequences. You're one of the strongest Sequence Holders I know.”

Young Master: “Tch, idolizing me?”

Pandora: “Heh.”

Just then, Lord of Dawn came online, and Xu Lang manually turned off Pandora's mic.

Lord of Dawn: “Sorry, I'm late.”

Unrivaled Under Heaven: “Haha, the Station Director is online!”

Main Character: “We were just talking about something interesting. Pandora said she has a very powerful Demon Box.”

Lord of Dawn: “Demon Box?”

Pandora instantly panicked a little.

The members of Golden Dawn, whether openly or secretly, were all very afraid of Lord of Dawn, even though he had never done anything negative.

He was extremely authoritative in the information domain, as if he knew everything.

And with someone like that, it didn't seem surprising at all that they knew one or two secret methods for crossing the Blood Mist. Even if they didn't take the initiative to strike, leaking just one piece of false information was enough to cause trouble.

“Don't panic, keep it normal. Look at the private message I sent you.” Xu Lang's black eyes fixed on Pandora, carrying a calming power that seeped into her heart.

Pandora's emotions rapidly calmed down, and she immediately realized Xu Lang had used some kind of skill.

In reality, he hadn't.

Xu Lang simply had high Charm. This kind of influence was just a side effect, just like how having high spirit attribute naturally allowed you to control objects with your mind.

Pandora: “A dormitory facility. Too much information, no need to reveal it.”

Even if Lord of Dawn hadn't come, Xu Lang hadn't planned on having Young Master infected with the Demon Box Curse too early, because this thing would be intercepted by the dormitory building!

He was just planting a seed. When the time was right, he would let that seed sprout.

This way, the probability of Young Master catching the Demon Box Curse was slightly higher.

In reality, the best method was still to use the Astral Foundation to teleport, forcibly deus ex machina!

However, the side effects of the Astral Foundation were too terrifying, making Xu Lang wary.

The optimal path was to send a Demon Box Curse victim over as a teleportation anchor. But that would require communicating with Mad King Building and getting approval in advance; otherwise, it would be a free meal delivery for the entire team.

Capturing another dormitory building was no simple matter. Before the fight even started, you had to solve all kinds of major problems.

Xu Lang had had this thought before.

—What would happen if he didn't rely on Mad King Building and captured a dormitory building on his own? Could he monopolize all the original resources of one dormitory building?

This seemed to be a third path aside from monsters and players capturing dormitory buildings, and it seemed no player had achieved it so far.

Lord of Dawn: “Witch's Home… Is that the name of your dormitory?”

Pandora's pupils violently contracted. Her breathing even stopped. Her mind raced, and she forced herself to stay calm. “Boss, how do you know that? Level ten dormitories are unique, right?”

Lord of Dawn: “I guessed. It's not important.”

Young Master: “Hehe, then let's talk about something important.”

Lord of Dawn: “Do you all know about Authority?”

Unrivaled Under Heaven countered: “What's that thing?”

Lord of Dawn spoke slowly and deliberately: “Authority is the embodiment of rules. At the same time, it is the power wielded by Gods. It is one of the crucial components of a Divine Persona.”

Young Master: “No, no. Boss, what are you talking about? What God, what Divine Persona? Are these things we mortals worthy of knowing?”

Lord of Dawn: “Don't underestimate your own power. The player race's status in the Blood Mist World is not low.”

Main Character: “Shocking! We're not paramecium after all!”

Unrivaled Under Heaven: “What is our position in the Blood Mist World's ecological chain?”

Lord of Dawn: “Better than paramecium.”

“…”

Everyone was stunned into silence.

Lord of Dawn:

“Without a shelter, we are nothing. But relying on the dormitory buildings forever, we will eventually be swallowed down to the last scrap!”

“The Sequences everyone is familiar with are one of the only two known powers that transcend the game's rules!”

“And Authority is the other kind!”
