Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 50
After going out and clearing one round of monsters, Wang Yazhi immediately squeezed into the top ten of the leaderboard!
Not long after, Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan's names also appeared in the top ten!
Four people from one dorm, all in the top ten!
Dorm 200 was really making a name for itself now!
There was no helping it - the monster resources of almost the entire floor had been completely consumed by the four of them.
For anyone else to surpass these four, they'd need to deal with at least a quarter of the entire floor's zombies.
[Dormitory Broadcast: Tenth floor players have cleared monsters at excessive speed. Second round monsters will be unable to enter the tenth floor]
"Damn it, we killed them too fast again! Now how is Lang Ge supposed to lure monsters!" Cao Yaxuan was so agitated she actually started cursing.
"No, we killed them too slow. If I had personally killed Liu Quan and all the others back then, zombies from the ninth floor should have already come up by now." Xu Lang said gloomily.
Despite their chatting, their speed at collecting items didn't slow down at all. They quickly gathered all the dropped items and returned to the dorm.
Wang Yazhi provided cover from the side, closing the door properly once the three returned to the dorm.
Perfect coordination!
After one round of the game, everyone had learned about providing support and sticking to their respective roles.
One could only say their progress was truly rapid.
The four sat around on the sofa, arriving at the most anticipated moment - counting the spoils of war.
The three girls first handed all the money to Xu Lang.
[Assets: Copper Coins 24892, Silver Coins 3, Gold Coins 0]
Xu Lang reported the assets, then tutted: "Tsk, these zombies' copper coin drop rate is pretty average. They don't even have any burial goods or anything, even though they're level 2 monsters."
"Lang Ge, your mouth is blessed! There really are burial goods here!" Tong Qi laughed as she picked up a beautiful porcelain bowl.
[Blue and White Porcelain Bowl]
[Type: Porcelain]
[Level: 0]
[Durability: 3/3]
[Decomposition yields: Blue and White Porcelain Fragments X3]
[Promotion Condition: 10 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Burial goods of the dead. Useless except for being pretty. Recommend smashing it]
Xu Lang smiled: "Set it aside for now. At least it's a container for holding things."
Tong Qi nodded and casually placed the porcelain to the side.
Among the dropped items, there were quite a few such burial goods, somewhat similar to the Soul Fragments dropped by Vengeful Spirits - all were dispensable trash.
But there were three items that truly caught Xu Lang's attention.
[Zombie Fangs]
[Type: Item]
[Level: 2]
[Effect (Death Aura): Place the fangs in your mouth to gain some aura of the deceased, making ghosts and monsters recognize you as one of their own]
[Durability: 5/5]
[Decomposition yields: Bone Powder X3]
[Upgrade Condition: 90 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: I had zombie teeth when I was little that even glowed! All the girls were scared of me!]
...
[Black Zombie Essence Blood]
[Type: Blood]
[Level: 2]
[Effect: Transform into a Black Zombie for 3 minutes, with copper head and iron brain, possessing immense strength]
[Upgrade Condition: 120 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Eat me, and everywhere except your corpus cavernosum and pituitary gland will become hard]
...
[Information Slip]
[Type: Item]
[Content: The real monster hides in the stairwell]
[Introduction: This kind of thing has no level, cannot be decomposed or upgraded. Just read it and that's it]
...
"Take a look at this information slip." Xu Lang took out the slip.
"It might be referring to that bell-ringing presence!" Wang Yazhi recalled the terrifying bell sounds and couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Probably." Xu Lang nodded: "I thought this round would have many types of monsters appearing, but it turns out there are only zombies."
He had previously predicted the second round monsters would be more diverse, but facts proved him wrong.
Tong Qi spoke up at this point: "Are these zombies what veteran players call hard monsters? Although there's only one monster type this round and no level 3 monsters, many players have died."
The hard bones that players talk about generally have two characteristics - strong door-breaking ability and being difficult to kill.
Zombies fit both characteristics.
Xu Lang revealed a faint smile.
He was happy that Tong Qi and the others could think independently.
After all, he was just a newcomer himself, and sometimes his brain wasn't sufficient.
After the group discussed for a while, Cao Yaxuan suddenly exclaimed: "Xu Lang, so many people are @ mentioning me!"
"Normal." Xu Lang shrugged - he was already used to being tagged.
"Me too!" Tong Qi opened the chat room, equally surprised.
Wang Yazhi was in a similar situation.
This was the first time the three girls encountered such a situation, and they immediately started chattering excitedly.
Meanwhile, Xu Lang glanced at the Trading Network and found someone selling Glutinous Rice for 400 Copper Coins, so he listed his twenty portions of Glutinous Rice at 399.
The 20 portions of Glutinous Rice were gradually bought out.
Income nearly 8000 Copper Coins!
Xu Lang sighed inwardly - it wasn't that Brother Zombie was poor, but that Brother Zombie had exchanged his Copper Coins for Glutinous Rice!
Then, he swept clean all the No. 6 Bullets listed on the market, ending up with thirty thousand Copper Coins remaining in hand.
"Never had such a perfect start before!"
Although sleep time was reduced this round, Xu Lang's harvest wasn't any less, and he had killed very satisfyingly.
After completing all this, Xu Lang opened his private messages.
His private messages had exploded!
He had added almost all players from the first round, and now more than half of those players had sent him messages.
There was flattery, confusion, and shock!
Xu Lang quickly scanned through them, then opened Xu Ruyan's private message.
[180 Xu Ruyan: With level three turrets, how are you farming points so fast?]
[180 Xu Ruyan: When trees grow too tall, the wind will break them. Tsk tsk, you better take it easy, kid. Don't reveal all your trump cards. Points are important, but life is more important!]
Xu Ruyan's messages ended here. Perhaps she felt embarrassed about continuing one-sided conversation, so she didn't say more.
Xu Lang's first thought upon seeing these messages was - this Xu Ruyan is quite the chatterbox.
His second thought was...
Does she like me?
Xu Lang shook his head. The three major misconceptions in life were pure simp traps. If a pretty girl says a few more words to you, she likes you? Does sending a voice message mean she wants to date you?
[200 Xu Lang: Thanks for your concern. Everything is fine here]
[180 Xu Ruyan: Thanks to you, I've dropped to fifth place now]
Xu Lang was startled, then checked the Points Leaderboard and found that although Xu Ruyan's points had increased, her ranking had dropped from third place.
[200 Xu Lang: That's what I should do. We're all companions]
[180 Xu Ruyan: I thank you!!]
In Dorm 180, Xu Ruyan was grinding her teeth.
For slacker players like Nie Xiaozhu, it would be best if Xu Lang single-handedly killed all the monsters in the entire hallway.
But players like Xu Ruyan had ambitions, and Xu Lang's approach was essentially stealing monsters.
In the first round, Vengeful Spirits had low defense, so Xu Ruyan could kill them instantly. Plus, with Xu Lang around, she didn't need to worry about aggro transfer, so naturally she killed happily.
But this round's zombies had tough skin - no matter what methods she tried, she only managed to kill about ten or so.
[200 Xu Lang: Why don't you go help out on the ninth floor]
[180 Xu Ruyan: The tenth floor big monster is hiding in the left staircase. Even using my butt to think, I know the ninth floor big monster is on the right. What's the difference between me going there now and releasing the BOSS early?]
[200 Xu Lang: Maybe you'll get lucky and the BOSS is in a weakened state]
[180 Xu Ruyan: Why don't you go?]
[200 Xu Lang: I'm not that kind of person]
You're not that kind of person?
So I am then!
Sometimes taking big risks is necessary, but it's not suitable for every situation.
Like right now.
Xu Ruyan could guarantee that some people definitely couldn't hold back and would cross floors to lure monsters.
These thick-skinned, high-attack-power guys were literally players' nightmares. Although their attack methods were single, just banging and breaking doors - who could withstand that?!
One could say that any dorm without level two attack facilities, even with level two doors, couldn't withstand attacks from more than five zombies.
Xu Ruyan didn't have to wait long before obtaining the information she wanted.
