Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 43

Before the game countdown ended, Xu Lang could farm Nightmare Coins one more time.

He took a deep breath, instructed Cao Yaxuan and the others not to communicate with anyone or post in the chatroom, then went aside to meditate.

This time, whether it was because he was overly focused leading to excellent meditation effects, or the accumulated results finally showing, during his meditation he felt a cool current emerging in his brain.

Instantly, Xu Lang opened his eyes and checked his personal information.

【Player: Xu Lang】

【Experience: One Cycle】

【Room Number: 200 (Dorm Owner)】

【Attributes: Constitution 11, Spirit 7】

【Free Attributes: 2】

【Backpack 7/9: Colt Viper, Alloy Combat Blade, No. 6 Bullets X200, Adrenaline Syringe, Instant Sirloin Steak, Throwing Darts, Ghost Repelling Talisman】

【Funds: Copper Coins 6389, Silver Coins 0, Gold Coins 0】

"My spirit attribute increased by one point, but meditation didn't level up."

Xu Lang felt secretly satisfied and continued closing his eyes to meditate.

......

【Game Countdown - 29 minutes 32 seconds】

In the final half hour before the game started, the entire dormitory building became unusually quiet.

Except for those extremely greedy players still searching for supplies outside, most players had returned to their dorms.

Additionally, on the final game day, the "Exploration Mode" had been locked.

Exploration Mode was gameplay that appeared on the sixth day, allowing players to enter a teleportation array inside the supermarket to explore game instances the dormitory building had previously experienced.

Namely, the Zombie Attack instance.

Exploration Mode offered very generous rewards and might yield many high-level items.

However, Exploration Mode was extremely difficult, practically a near-certain death situation, with veteran players collectively advising against it.

Unless you truly had no confidence in surviving the next round of games, you shouldn't gamble.

On the eve of the second round game beginning.

A corpse lay quietly below the building.

This was also a player, one who had been forced to jump by another fifth-floor player.

This also counted as a form of Blood Grudge.

Meaning that now the Mad King Dormitory Building had four Blood Grudge bearers, located on the third, fourth, fifth, and tenth floors respectively.

The dormitory building became deathly quiet, and the chatroom wasn't much better.

Currently, the Mad King Dormitory Building had all two hundred dorm slots completely filled, with the population reaching a staggering five hundred-plus.

But people's enthusiasm for conversation had diminished.

Except for the chatterboxes, almost everyone was communicating with their respective roommates, making final negotiations and deployments.

The four people in Dorm 200 were no exception.

"If it's a ghost-type instance, Yaxuan, Yazhi, you two guard during the day, Tong Qi and I will guard at night. We absolutely cannot leave each other's sight," Xu Lang said, wearing the Survivor Set with an extremely serious expression.

According to what those veteran players said, ghosts basically all had one ability.

That was bewitchment.

Including making people lose their minds, disguise, mental manipulation, etc.

Moreover, the medium through which skills spread was very peculiar—it could be images, sounds, or certain taboo actions performed by players.

And although tenants forcibly controlled by ghosts still couldn't independently open doors without the dorm owner's permission, they could harm others and self-harm!

This was absolutely terrifying!

Ghosts' true forms couldn't pass through the main door to enter, but this kind of mental attack could!

Therefore, allocating points to spirit was also very important. If it's too low, you could be directly controlled, completely defenseless.

"Okay!" Cao Yaxuan nodded, feeling extremely nervous inside.

Next, Xu Lang gave the girls some more instructions, then quietly waited for the game to begin.

As the countdown approached zero, seeing the three girls so nervous their palms were sweating, Xu Lang smiled and said, "It's fine, if we die, we'll all die together anyway."

Cao Yaxuan gave Xu Lang an annoyed glare: "I'm not going to die!"

"Me neither!" Tong Qi said with determined eyes.

"Then I won't either!" Wang Yazhi touched the sword at her waist.

"So it's just me who's going to die..." Xu Lang chuckled wryly.

Tong Qi quickly covered his mouth.

Cao Yaxuan snorted: "Xu Lang, have you forgotten? If it's a ghost instance, you can't say things like that randomly. Also, if someone calls you from behind, don't answer."

Xu Lang raised his hands in surrender: "Alright, alright, I know all that. The game hasn't started yet, has it?"

As they joked around, the countdown quietly approached its end.

Xu Lang pulled up the game countdown, narrowing his eyes.

During the first round game, the name "Zombie Attack" had already appeared.

By the second round, there was no such benefit anymore—you could only confirm the game type through supplies found during rest periods.

But one thing could be confirmed.

That this round game would definitely have folkloric ghost-type monsters.

Because someone found a level 3 peach wood sword on the final day, specifically used for exorcising ghosts!

Suddenly, a private message popped up in Xu Lang's retina.

After settings adjustments, only a few people could directly pop up private messages now.

Xu Ruyan was one of them.

【180 Xu Ruyan: Are you scared?】

【200 Xu Lang: A fierce tiger sees no ravines before its eyes】

Before they could have more conversation, the game had already begun!

【3...2...1】

【Game Start!】

【This round's game is called: Fierce Ghosts Return】

【Game Content: Previously dead players collectively transform into vengeful spirits for revenge, with even more terrifying monsters lurking in the darkness... Don't rush, take it slow, each floor has your little darlings】

【Game Time: Unknown】

......

"Damn, why is the game time unknown!" Xu Lang cursed angrily.

This was very bad news for him.

Without a defined game time, he couldn't properly plan his point-farming schedule.

No wonder those veteran players looked down on the "Zombie Attack" beginner game.

This real Dorm Survival Game started messing with your mind right from the beginning!

"Xu Lang, don't panic," Cao Yaxuan comforted.

Her gaze trembled as she looked at the steel door.

Could this steel door really block those dead players coming back to life?

Suddenly, the dormitory broadcast came through.

【Dormitory Broadcast: Fierce Ghosts Return first round officially begins, duration 3 hours. Players, kill many monsters and maintain your ranking on the Points Leaderboard】

On the monitoring screen, vengeful spirits emerged from the corridors one after another, then walked straight toward Dorm 200.

They wore Clear Sky University uniforms, maintaining their appearance from when they were alive—some with bleeding eyes, some holding their own heads, some with dead stares.

Walking at their forefront was a male vengeful spirit with a bullet hole in his forehead.

Waves of cold air ran up the spines of Cao Yaxuan and the other two girls.

This scene was far more stimulating than watching any horror movie.

Xu Lang frowned, looking at the vengeful spirit walking at the forefront on the monitoring screen.

Several lines of information popped up.

【Zhou Tao】

【Type: Vengeful Spirit】

【Level: 2】

【Skills: Terrifying Aura, Ghost Claw】

【Introduction: Xu Lang... I've come to find you!】

Besides this vengeful spirit, the others were all level one.

But their direction was consistent—straight toward Dorm 200!

Additionally, another piece of bad news came through.

【180 Xu Ruyan: Oh ho, guess what? The vengeful spirits don't even glance at my door!】

Xu Lang could almost hear Xu Ruyan's seductive laughter.

Cursing inwardly, he stepped forward to upgrade the door.

But at that moment, Ghost Child made its move!

On the monitoring screen, Ghost Child sat in the shrine. Seeing the evil spirits approaching, its eyes shot out black light, and its chubby little mouth opened. Zhou Tao, walking at the forefront, transformed into black energy and was sucked into its mouth.

【Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" killed level 2 monster, dorm owner points +100】

Xu Lang froze, his hand reaching for the door stopping mid-air.

Cao Yaxuan and the other two girls also froze.

The four looked at each other, then turned their gazes back to the monitoring screen.
