Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 31
"Attack facilities!" Xu Lang's eyes lit up brightly.
"There are actually things like this!" Cao Yaxuan also exclaimed in surprise.
If they had this thing in the previous round of the game, they wouldn't have feared level 0 zombies at all.
One arrow, one kill!
The Swift Repeating Crossbows were hanging in row after row. Xu Lang wasn't in a hurry to rush the purchase, but instead quickly browsed through other products.
What was most abundant here were design blueprints - door design blueprints, water dispenser design blueprints, sofa design blueprints, double bed design blueprints, and so on.
Wang Ao and his group saw Xu Lang, but didn't come to cause trouble, instead gathering together to discuss things.
Only level one dormitories could install attack facilities, and the Swift Repeating Crossbow wasn't cheap, so how to purchase them was a big problem.
Wang Ao's team had now expanded to twelve people, but only three of them had level one dormitories. Even counting everyone, there were still three people who couldn't live in dormitories with attack facilities.
By the time they finished discussing, Xu Lang had already bought two Swift Repeating Crossbows and left.
Wang Ao's expression darkened slightly, and he said to one of his underlings: "You follow him and see what he bought!"
The underling nodded and quietly trailed after Xu Lang.
......
The Swift Repeating Crossbow was about one meter in size, with a mainly wooden structure. After playing with it for a while, Xu Lang had Tong Qi store it in her backpack.
Any facility could only take effect within the dormitory, so carrying around two such large items would just be cumbersome.
"Lang-ge, you were really foresighted to have us clear our backpacks in advance," Tong Qi said with a sweet smile.
"Every player upgraded their backpack slots. This seems like a cheap safety net, but it's actually a very important spatial resource," Xu Lang replied.
Cao Yaxuan deeply agreed with this - women understood all too well the importance of having a small bag.
They finished browsing the equipment area, finished browsing the facilities area, and then the three of them arrived at the skills area.
The display cases here were all filled with skill scrolls, priced quite expensively.
There was also a friendly reminder sign in the skills area.
[Friendly Reminder: Using active skills consumes stamina and mental energy. Using skills across different casting sources will cause significant consumption]
At first glance, this reminder might seem confusing, but after looking at a few skill scrolls, one could roughly understand.
[Fireball Technique (Active Skill)]
[Type: Skill Scroll]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Condition: 40 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Consumes a small amount of mental energy to release fireballs from the supernatural realm]
[Price: 3999 Copper Coins]
......
[Low Kick (Active Skill)]
[Type: Skill Scroll]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Condition: 35 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Consumes a small amount of stamina to unleash a low kick with power far exceeding one's own strength]
[Price: 2499]
......
Some skills consumed mental energy, while others consumed stamina.
When casting stamina-based skills, one could use mental energy instead, but the consumption would be very high.
As for exactly how much stamina and mental energy one had, the game didn't provide clear specifications.
Although it was called the Dorm Survival Game, it differed from truly data-based games - there was no concept of "MP" or "blue bar."
Many people were gathered in the skills area, and when they saw Xu Lang and his group approaching, they instinctively made way.
This street-clearing treatment secretly satisfied Xu Lang.
The slightly more advanced skill scrolls in the skills area only had one copy each - once purchased, they would disappear directly, so Xu Lang browsed very quickly.
Now that he had the most copper coins, he needed to fully capitalize on this first-mover advantage.
It was best to purchase those highly practical skills early, lest they get snatched up.
Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan could only watch longingly - both women only had 1000 copper coins each, not even enough to buy the most basic skills.
Just then.
Xu Lang saw Wang Ao and his group coming from the facilities area, so he quickly turned and purchased a skill scroll from one of the display cases.
Wang Ao's group had bragged about him awakening a fire-breathing ability to show off.
Fireball plus fire-breathing would most likely create a mutation!
Xu Lang didn't plan to give Wang Ao this mutation opportunity.
The rich helping the poor later?
Damn it! Just kidding!
If you get rich, you'll make me take the front line when danger comes in the future!
Xu Lang wasn't that stupid.
He planned to keep occupying the position of Top Player in the Mad King dormitory forever!
Moreover, he needed an attack-type skill like this anyway.
The Fireball Technique sounded common, but its adaptability should be quite high.
When Wang Ao saw Xu Lang, he narrowed his eyes and also began browsing the skill scrolls in the display cases.
Xu Lang noticed that one person in Wang Ao's group kept glancing at him subtly, probably wanting to see what he was buying.
Immediately, he had Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan block the line of sight from both sides.
There were truly many good things in the skills area, making Xu Lang's eyes gleam with desire.
After careful consideration, he purchased another skill scroll.
The skill scrolls in the skills area ranged from 2000 to 12999 copper coins, and the skill scroll he purchased was the only item priced at 12999 copper coins!
[Meditation (Active Skill)]
[Type: Skill Scroll]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Condition: 45 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Enter a meditative state to accelerate mental energy recovery. If mental energy is at full capacity, slowly increases total mental attributes]
[Price: 12999 Copper Coins]
After purchasing this item, Xu Lang's huge sum of twenty-one thousand was directly depleted.
Then, unsatisfied, he borrowed money from Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi.
The two women had come to the supermarket full of excitement, hadn't bought a single thing, and now had to give all their money to this scoundrel Xu Lang.
With two thousand copper coins obtained, the third skill scroll was also acquired!
[Aiming (Passive Skill)]
[Type: Skill Scroll]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Condition: 30 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Improves your accuracy in throwing and shooting]
[Price: 2000 Copper Coins]
Xu Lang's previous accuracy with guns was purely due to the Colt Viper's good handling. To truly become a sharpshooter, the Aiming skill was indispensable.
Two Swift Repeating Crossbows cost 4000 copper coins, plus three skill scrolls totaling 18998, Xu Lang's huge sum of twenty-five thousand now only had about five hundred left in change - completely drained dry!
Anyway, after this spending spree, he didn't plan to go out again.
Xu Lang tore up the three skill scrolls one by one, learning all the skills. He only felt a sudden clarity in his mind as much new knowledge flooded in, and his body gained some muscle memory.
The feeling was incredibly magical.
He took out his Colt and practiced a few moves, feeling that his handling had improved even more, and said: "Let's go, let's browse the living area and entertainment area. I'll buy whatever you want."
"It's okay, we don't want anything," Tong Qi scratched her cheek.
The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.
Cao Yaxuan also remained silent, staring down at her toes.
"No! You must buy something!" Xu Lang patted his chest: "Things in the remaining two areas are definitely cheap, I can still afford them!"
The mission this time was to spend all the money, then not go out again, hiding until the end of time.
"What about our water and electricity fees? And the attack facilities also need money," Cao Yaxuan said quietly.
Xu Lang: "..."
Tong Qi smiled: "It's fine, we'll just go look."
Things in the living area and entertainment area were indeed cheaper, especially in the living area, which had clothes, hats, shoes, and bags - inexpensive yet good-looking.
Of course, the better-looking ones were more expensive.
In the end, Xu Lang still bought Cao Yaxuan a small gift - perfume priced at 35 copper coins.
At the very back of the entertainment area stood two lottery machines.
One silver-white, one brass-colored.
"Hit the jackpot! Hit the jackpot! Hit the jackpot!"
A group of people surrounded the brass lottery machine, making noisy shouts.
Tong Qi blinked her eyes, seeming very interested.
Xu Lang stepped forward - he had been worrying about what small gift to buy for Tong Qi, and now the opportunity had arrived!
