“Xu Lang can foresee the future!?”
“Not necessarily Xu Lang. Gu Ya from Demon King Castle has plenty of prediction skills—maybe she sensed something!”
“The Neighborhood Committee also has a lot of powerful staff!”
“It’s really great to have a big tree to rely on!”
“What exactly are the Rain People? Isn’t the Dorm Owner going to fight them head-on this time?”
“Probably because Blood Grudge doesn’t work on these foreign creatures!”
Mad King Building players frantically exchanged information.
However, every single one of them had eight hundred schemes up their sleeves. They all used the chat function to communicate—making a sound out loud was absolutely out of the question.
No one dared to ignore the messages released by the Neighborhood Committee, even if they weren’t necessarily direct orders from Xu Lang himself.
Some newcomers had fully committed their hearts.
Damn!
Check-in and get a gift pack, plus such a strong danger-detection ability, and when monsters come, he can take on a thousand by himself!
With a boss like this, what reason was there not to be loyal?
I’m willing to die for you, Lang Ge!
The only problem was that Mad King Building was such a bastard—it didn’t let players leave. Otherwise, people could just hop over, play a couple of rounds, then head to other dorm buildings and easily become high-level players.
I’m an outstanding graduate of Mad King Building, here to apply for the CEO position!
...
Demon King Castle.
The intel about the Rain People had been passed down layer by layer from Xu Lang at the highest point, and the women were equally curious.
How exactly did Xu Lang find out about the Rain People?
And Xu Lang answered, saying he had detected them using a skill.
However, the Rain People’s specialty was invisibility and detection-blocking. Ordinary detection methods were completely ineffective.
The women could only assume Xu Lang’s detection skill had advanced to a higher level—maybe Legendary, or even Epic.
“Xu Lang, are we not doing anything today? Would killing a Rain Person drop any gear?” Zhen Lu wore a pair of denim shorts, her long, slender white legs propped up on the coffee table.
“There won’t be much gain in the early stages of the Scarlet End. Don’t get your hopes up.” Xu Lang sat down beside Zhen Lu, holding the complete map of Mad King Building in his hands.
On it were little green dots and little red dots.
All the little green dots were inside Mad King Building and the Worker dormitories.
The little red dots were the foreign monsters, and their numbers were increasing.
“Ah, fine then~” Zhen Lu let out a sigh.
Xu Lang glanced at her and said, “Don’t think that if you’re not earning, you’re losing. Be thankful you can get a good night’s sleep in a hellhole like this.”
Zhen Lu let out a dissatisfied huff, then suddenly leaned in, wrapped her arms around Xu Lang’s neck, and rubbed his cheeks with both hands: “Who’s like you, sleeping all day every day!”
Whenever any of the women wanted to stay up late, Xu Lang would order them to stop.
Sleeping was a privilege of advanced beings. Low-level creatures didn’t sleep, which was why they lacked the ability to evolve, recover, and restart.
“I do work hard, you just don’t see it,” Xu Lang replied casually.
Zhen Lu pressed her white-haired head against Xu Lang’s for a moment, then rested her chin on his shoulder and looked at the Mad King Building map along with him.
After staring for a moment, she asked, “Xu Lang, what are you looking at?”
“Counting how many Rain People there are,” Xu Lang answered honestly.
“What’s the use of that? As long as we don’t open the door, they won’t come in. And once they reach a certain number, they’ll retreat,” Zhen Lu said, confused.
“The Rain People have extremely high-quality Tale potential. When they reach their maximum number, I’m going to capture them all and strengthen the Taleblade Demon Box.” Xu Lang stared unblinkingly at the Mad King Building map, tracking the movements of the red dots.
Zhen Lu’s eyes lit up, and she smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits: “Anyway, they’re already infected. Couldn’t you just wait for the infection intensity to increase gradually?”
“No. If I let them go back, the Demon Box Curse will infect even more unknown creatures.” Xu Lang shook his head.
In the Simulation Dream, he had paid a heavy price for this.
The Rain People were parasitic organisms of a super giant monster. This super giant monster had an extremely high level of mystery, and through a faint trace of the Demon Box Curse, it had directly entered the Demon Box World.
Xu Lang and all the Tales inside the Demon Box World had fought together, but they still couldn’t do anything to that super creature—and that was his own home turf.
The number of Tales in the Demon Box World was close to six figures, with all sorts of bizarre abilities, yet none of them had any effect on that super creature!
The reason was simple: that monster could come back to life, endlessly resurrect!
And on top of that, it could disintegrate itself, so control was useless too!
The only way Xu Lang could think of to counter it was to put it to sleep, but he didn’t have a sleep ability at such a high level.
So, for him, that monster was an unsolvable problem. In the end, he could only seal it in the deepest part of the Demon Box World.
There were plenty of unsolvable monsters like this in the Blood Mist World. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to survive under the Blood Calamity.
The Rain People and that super creature were all fleeing under the pressure of the Blood Calamity.
If Mad King Building was far enough away from the “Scarlet End,” he would only have to deal with these fleeing monsters, which would be relatively simple.
“That makes sense.” Zhen Lu nodded repeatedly.
The women were no longer the rookies they had been when they first entered the Dorm Survival Game. As their understanding of the Blood Mist World deepened, they hadn’t become arrogant—instead, they were even more aware of how insignificant they truly were.
Many legends they had once dismissed now seemed like they might very well be real when viewed from their current perspective.
“If you’re going to fight, call me.” Han Zhixiu walked over with her long legs, a white towel hanging around her neck. She had just come out of the Training Room.
The main god she had chosen required her to fight frequently.
“Alright.” Xu Lang nodded.
The first day, there wasn’t much going on.
As for the second day… he would decide after running a simulation.
Once midnight passed, he would be able to continue refining Nightmare Essence.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Mad King Building had an abundance of facility-type items, and most of the resources were still in his hands, he really wouldn’t be able to afford playing like this.
Meanwhile, the other dorm buildings besides Mad King Building were also suffering from the negative effects brought by the Scarlet End.
Out of the forty dorm buildings in the Titan Ruins, no one knew how many would be able to hold out in the end.
