Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

At the same time, Xu Lang had no idea that Chen Weilong was one of Mad King Building's people.

There was simply no way he would waste Nightmare Eye on such trash, and even if he did, he wouldn't probe in that direction.

The reason for this hunting trip was simple: the players hadn't followed orders.

He had made an agreement with the Progenitor of Humans, telling those players not to go out and disturb the floating, sinking corpses.

But these players were still scheming behind his back.

To be honest, Xu Lang wasn't angry. He was just doing what an enforcer had to do—like a gardener pruning the hedges, with neither joy nor sorrow to speak of.

Demon King Castle generally didn't issue explicit commands, but once it did, they had to be obeyed.

This rule was far too important.

If something like the Machine King's special dungeon appeared again, and even a single player started trouble, the consequences would be something no one could bear.

In wartime, the military could aim guns at ordinary civilians, carrying out so-called necessary evils.

Comparatively, Mad King Building was in a constant state of war, yet Demon King Castle hadn't even implemented militarized management.

After all, if the management was too strict, Mad King Building players really would go insane.

Constantly driving Mad King Building players mad and continuously producing Mad Vanguards was not part of Xu Lang's strategic plan.

Mad Vanguards rolling up like a snowball could actually become monstrously overpowered in an instant.

But if Mad King Building was utterly insane while the Nightmare Lord sequence was only slightly crazy, that would be bad.

There was no logic in having the tail wag the dog.

The current situation was the most suitable for lying flat and developing.

On this outing, Xu Lang not only swept away a wave of players but also uprooted all the hidden dangers in the Safe Zone, excluding the Progenitor of Humans and his guards.

The entire process was as effortless as plowing through a courtyard.

Moreover, Xu Lang noticed that his speed was getting faster and his strength was growing greater.

Only when all enemies were dead and he could find no more opponents did the Dragon Blood Rakshasa's evolution speed come to a halt.

This blood contract inertia could only be counteracted through continued battle and killing.

"The Dragon Blood Rakshasa blood contract perfectly matches the Divine Seal of the Path of Asura!" Xu Lang stood at the edge of the Safe Zone, holding back again and again, and finally managed to restrain himself.

There was a Progenitor of Humans back home whose depths he couldn't fathom, and who knew what kinds of monsters and freaks he might run into outside.

I love Mad King Building.

Mad King Building is my home.

I'll live in Mad King Building for my whole life, and no one can drive me away!

After firming his resolve, Xu Lang turned back to Demon King Castle, his figure as fast as a bolt of lightning.

...

The next day.

After waking up, Xu Lang checked his gains as usual.

[Basic Nightmare Coins 1600, Conversion Rate 8001%, Eight-hour total output 127,760 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 1,085,144]

[Mystic Sovereign Meditation Art harvest summary: Constitution +40, Spirit +40, Blood Rampage +1, Soul-Destroying Siphon +1, Demon-Sealing Slash +1]

[Ghostly Deity Power harvest summary: Ghostly Deity Power +30]

[Attributes: Constitution 1020, Spirit 1020, Ghostly Deity Power 570]

Nightmare Coins had broken a million, and both attributes had successfully broken a thousand!

A hint of a smile tugged at the corner of Xu Lang's mouth. He propped himself up, looked around at the beautiful women surrounding him, and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of happiness in his heart.

"When the apocalypse comes, based on your zodiac sign, select twelve shelters!"

A strange sound came from inside the blanket.

Xu Lang frowned and said, "What's that noise?"

The strange sound cut off abruptly, and then Chi Qingman poked her head out from under the covers, putting on an innocent, silly grin. "Lang Ge~ I was listening to an audiobook~"

"Where did you dig that up?" Xu Lang's gaze dropped to the smartphone Chi Qingman was holding in her hands.

[Smartphone with ten thousand novels recorded]

[Type: Entertainment Product]

[Level: 15]

[Rarity: Rare]

Chi Qingman crawled over from the edge of the bed, her legs crossed and pressed against the pillow as she offered up the phone. "Tingting posted it on the Trading Network, so I bought it. The novels in it are really interesting."

Over the past few days, everyone had gotten a good sense of Chi Qingman's personality.

A complete little slacker.

She had no ambition, just wanted to lie flat.

The sense of crisis unique to the Dorm Survival Game was completely absent in her.

"Are you the only one listening?" Xu Lang's arm looped around Chi Qingman's fair neck as he took the phone into his hand.

The feeling of sliding his finger across a smartphone screen—he hadn't experienced that in a long time.

Hearing this, there was some rustling under the blanket, and then Jinsha, Yinsha, and Baisha also popped their heads out from under the covers, looking a bit embarrassed.

Xu Lang's mouth twitched. "You four didn't sleep at all last night?"

"It's... very interesting!" Jinsha said sheepishly.

The three sisters were all ancient people, and suddenly encountering this electronic product, they had become quite addicted. If the three women hadn't egged her on, Chi Qingman would have just listened with her headphones on.

That was the good thing about the Nightmare Bed—if you wanted to sleep, no amount of outside noise could wake you.

"How is there still a domineering CEO novel..." Xu Lang scrolled through the phone, feeling like a lot of trash had entered his ears last night.

"It was Jinsha and the others who wanted to listen!" Chi Qingman argued.

"Lies!" Baisha immediately ratted her out. "Qingman, didn't you say you liked reading sweet romance novels?"

Chi Qingman's face flushed crimson, and her bright, translucent eyes glistened with moisture. "I just feel like the main character in them is very similar to my husband."

Was that intentional?

Xu Lang felt like something had stabbed his heart. He looked sideways at Chi Qingman and noticed that her Charm stat had actually increased by ten points.

"It's fine, go ahead and read. I never said you couldn't." Xu Lang handed the phone back to Chi Qingman. "Now that we have the original version, things are easy. Later, I'll have Kui Zi build a phone for each of you."

"Thank you, Lang Ge!" Chi Qingman's face lit up with a smile, tears giving way to joy, like a delicate white flower.

She had blurted out "husband" in a moment of panic, but now she wasn't calling him that anymore. Xu Lang felt a faint sense of loss.

"Hm? Lang Ge, what are you doing?"

"After the blood contract update yesterday, I've been feeling really restless. Help me check what's going on."

"Eeek! Don't touch me there!"
