Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 113

When the Polar Night faded, players swarmed out of the dormitory building to search for supplies.

They discovered that the probability of supplies appearing this time was even smaller!

Many people began to speculate.

Perhaps the Polar Night wasn't within the refresh time, so supplies wouldn't refresh, or maybe there really were looting Frost Ghosts that didn't leave, taking everything during the Polar Night environment—this was the dormitory's blatant open scheme!

In any case, opinions varied, and some were even shouting about forming teams to go out during tomorrow's Polar Night.

...

As one of the biggest beneficiaries of the "Item Disappearance Incident," Xu Lang naturally profited immensely.

At this moment, he was in the study, ignoring the turbulent changes in the chat room, and focusing on practicing the Dragon Elephant Combat Method.

His fist techniques roared through the air with vigor. As he practiced to the later stages, one of his elbows sliced through the air creating a sonic whistle, then he withdrew his energy.

"Keeping up this kind of training is a bit exhausting too; I need to balance work and rest." Xu Lang murmured to himself. Feeling he still had a bit of stamina left, he inexplicably opened his chat history with Ye Fan.

Hmm... one against four, gotta say there's still some pressure. During the last few times near the end, I felt my heart beating a bit fast.

"Should I give it a try?"

With this thought, Xu Lang began working out.

Click~

The more he did, the more energetic he became. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opening nearby.

Cao Yaxuan's exquisitely beautiful face peeked in, her expression instantly turning peculiar.

What was Xu Lang doing? Interrogating an invisible female agent?

"Is there something you need?" Xu Lang stood up unhurriedly and said calmly.

Cao Yaxuan studied Xu Lang for a moment. Seeing his expression was normal, she spoke: "Huihui found Haagen-Dazs in the cafeteria and gave us some. Would you like some?"

"Eating ice cream in such cold weather?" Xu Lang wiped his sweat and said casually.

"It's delicious!" Cao Yaxuan pouted.

Xu Lang nodded and walked out of the study. His eyes fell upon several women sitting around a small table. Next to them was a small fire pit built from bricks, with wood burning fiercely inside.

"Lang Ge, try it quickly!" Tong Qi pattered over to Xu Lang and handed an ice cream cone covered in chocolate crumbs to his mouth.

Xu Lang bit off the chocolate ball on top in one bite, and his face immediately contorted.

So damn cold!

"How is it? Isn't it delicious!" Tong Qi said happily: "We made this ourselves!"

Xu Lang kept puffing out cold air: "It's delicious, but just too cold."

"Who told you to eat so much at once!" Cao Yaxuan snorted.

"You made these yourselves?" Xu Lang's gaze swept over the small table, seeing cones, ice cream, mint leaves, and chocolate.

"Yes!" Tong Qi nodded.

Cao Yaxuan smiled: "Tong Qi's ghost pet helped too."

During their usual free time, Tong Qi would summon her ghost pet to handle small tasks. This made controlling it later feel more natural and effortless, like using her own arm.

"This awful weather, who knows when it will return to normal." Sherry suddenly sighed.

Even while warming herself by the fire, she still felt threads of cold.

"Of course when the game ends." Cao Yaxuan gave the answer everyone knew. She sat on the stool, her palms absorbing the fire's warmth, her eyes flickering between light and shadow. She inexplicably thought of many distant memories and suddenly sighed: "I wonder how father and the others are doing... I miss them so much."

These words left the other women somewhat silent.

Except for Sherry.

She always maintained extremely high enthusiasm for the Dorm Survival Game.

"Don't be sad, Yaxuan. As long as we survive, we will definitely find a way to leave this game." Sherly smiled faintly to comfort her.

"But I'm just sad. I don't know what meaning there is in living like this..."

"People live just to live. There's no inherent meaning, just like ocean waves and sunlight—they are part of nature!" Xu Lang said, wagging his finger: "Saying something like that is like claiming your previous life had meaning."

Cao Yaxuan was immediately left speechless, but she also felt there was some truth to what Xu Lang said.

People are going to die anyway.

...

[Basic Nightmare Coins 80, Conversion Rate 474%, 8-hour total production: 459 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 3168]

"Nightmare Coins have finally broken three thousand!"

A glint of light flashed in Xu Lang's eyes. He quietly got up to wash up.

By the time he returned to the living room, he saw Sherry and the others were still asleep, so he started cooking.

There was still one hour until the game started. After eating, he could elevate himself to peak condition.

Xu Lang felt this life rhythm was just right.

Not long after, Sherry and the others woke up one after another. Only Cao Yaxuan was still sleeping.

"Still minus thirty degrees. I wonder if there will be any announcement at six o'clock." The first thing Wang Yazhi did after getting out of bed was check the thermometer.

"If the temperature drops further, people will really freeze to death. The price of cold-proof supplies on the Trading Network has already quadrupled." Tong Qi was slightly worried.

"Food's ready! There's chicken soup today. Go wash up quickly." Xu Lang carried a small clay pot to the dining table and said to the women.

While Tong Qi and the others went to wash up, Xu Lang saw Cao Yaxuan was still sleeping, so he walked over and pinched her butt.

"Ouch!" Cao Yaxuan turned over and woke up: "I want to sleep today, I don't want to move."

In idol groups, there's a center position. She usually filled that role, so it was normal for her to be more tired.

"Suit yourself." Seeing this, Xu Lang didn't insist. He turned around to light the small fire pit, raising the room's temperature.

Even though dry wood was quite expensive now, Xu Lang's household could definitely afford it.

Put it this way: as long as Xu Lang didn't intentionally create a Blood Grudge to attract monsters, no player could outlast him.

During the meal, footsteps and conversations came from the corridor. Wu Huihui and the others were returning to their dorm rooms one after another.

"Hisss~ So cold, Sister Huihui!"

"I hope it doesn't get any colder; I really can't take it!"

"Let's get home quickly. I have two sets of cotton quilts at my place!"

"Whoa, Xiao Yan, you've struck it rich!"

"Money doesn't matter; being able to survive is more important than anything."

"Hehe, that's true. But Xiao Yan, if I get too cold, can I hide at your place for an hour?"

"Sure."

"..."

Ten minutes before the game started, Xu Lang entered a Meditation state until the Dormitory Broadcast woke him up.
