Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 52

Xu Lang listened to this player's account and connected it with the pictures they had previously posted, then spoke up: "What he said is probably true."

"What do we do then, Lang Ge? That Ghost Official doesn't seem to be going door-to-door asking questions—it might reach the tenth floor soon." Tong Qi said nervously.

Although there was only one monster this round, it was incredibly dangerous!

So far, it seemed like every dormitory that had been knocked on by the Ghost Official ended with all the players inside dead!

The survival rate was zero!

"Don't panic. Keep watching, I'll go ask Xu Ruyan." Xu Lang said with a furrowed brow.

He felt that Xu Ruyan had been relatively reliable so far.

【200 Xu Lang: Sister Wang, what's your take on this Ghost Official?】

【180 Xu Ruyan: 1000 Copper Coins per piece of information】

【180 Xu Ruyan: First, go turn off the automatic attack mode of your Attack Facilities, otherwise you'll provoke the Ghost Official. This is pure game experience, believe it or not】

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang immediately instructed Cao Yaxuan and the others.

【200 Xu Lang: And then?】

【180 Xu Ruyan: The higher the monster's level, the more intelligent it is. For a level 10 monster like this, you'd better treat it as an intelligent person】

【200 Xu Lang: And then?】

【180 Xu Ruyan: This kind of overpowered monster definitely isn't meant for us to kill. Don't think about killing it; instead, look for its behavioral patterns】

【200 Xu Lang: And then?】

【180 Xu Ruyan: That's all】

Three messages, 3000 Copper Coins.

Xu Lang transferred the amount to Xu Ruyan immediately.

After all, if the Ghost Official really came to kill them, keeping these three thousand Copper Coins would be useless anyway.

After doing all this, Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

He had encountered quite a few intelligent ghosts like the Ghost Official in his nightmares before.

Although he couldn't apply the exact same methods to deal with this one now, it could still serve as a reference to some extent.

First, if you say you saw a Vengeful Spirit, then you need to provide evidence.

Second, if you say you didn't see a Vengeful Spirit, then you're lying, because you clearly saw one in the first round!

The second point was purely speculative; otherwise, the player survival rate definitely wouldn't be this low.

On average, a group of players died collectively every few minutes!

So far, no player had shared any experience of surviving.

Even the usually arrogant veteran players had quieted down now, none of them making a sound, as if afraid that spending one extra second in the chatroom would draw the Ghost Official to their door.

At this moment, the chatroom was surprisingly quiet.

Suddenly, a message popped up.

【33 Zhang Dahai: I have an Information Slip about the Ghost Official, already listed on the Trading Network. Interested parties can purchase it themselves】

Xu Lang's eyes flashed, and he clicked open the Trading Network.

【Seller: Zhang Dahai】

【Content: Information Slip】

【Price: 5000 Copper Coins】

【Additional Info: Information about the Ghost Official, those concerned can purchase】

Zhang Dahai really knew how to do business—charging 5000 Copper Coins for one piece of information!

Xu Lang estimated that someone would buy this Information Slip soon.

Sure enough, not even three seconds passed before someone bought the Information Slip.

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow, opened the chat window with Zhang Dahai, and sent a private message.

【200 Xu Lang: What's the information? Can you give me a hint?】

It was just asking for one piece of intelligence; he still had that much face.

【33 Zhang Dahai: Hehe, it's Lang Ge. I'll give you the info for free—the Ghost Official likes porcelain.】

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang's eyes instantly lit up.

Damn, so that's what it was!

He had plenty of that stuff!

Xu Lang opened the chatroom, wanting to see if the player who purchased it would reveal the message, but instead he saw this message.

【49 Li Shuwen: This intel is very valuable. I won't raise the price; it's still 5000 Copper Coins, listed on the Trading Network】

Cao Yaxuan complained, "They're playing pass the parcel with this? These people really have no sense of generosity at all."

"Well, they did spend money on it." Wang Yazhi said helplessly.

"Zhang Dahai told me—the Ghost Official likes porcelain. We can use that to bribe it when the time comes, and it might just let us off." Xu Lang said with a laugh.

Wang Yazhi's eyes lit up, but then she said, "But we can't fully trust it, right? After all, it's just someone's word."

Xu Lang nodded.

So, he waited for someone to reveal the answer from the Information Slip.

In the end, he waited for a long time, and the Information Slip was listed again and again, but no one revealed the information!

This was really something else!

The players' tendencies for infighting and aversion to losses were displayed to the fullest at this moment.

Xu Lang curled his lips into a smile. He didn't want to spend money to buy it, but he still wanted to confirm the information's authenticity—so what should he do?

【200 Xu Lang: Dahai already told me—the content of the Information Slip is that the Ghost Official likes porcelain】

【171 Li Li: Bro, I'm still selling the thing】

In Dorm 171, Li Li slammed the wall hard; he really wanted to curse.

But after two rounds of the game, everyone knew that Xu Lang was a formidable player.

So, if he didn't want to cause trouble, he could only swallow his anger.

Knock knock!

Right at that moment, knocking sounded at the door.

Immediately after, a chilling, eerie voice followed.

"Open the door. Ghost Official inspection."

Li Li's hair stood on end instantly. He hurriedly found a piece of porcelain that had dropped from a Vengeful Spirit, put it in his backpack, and went to open the door.

"Have you seen any wronged souls or fierce ghosts recently?" The Ghost Official's face was pitch black, its two-meter-tall frame draped in black official robes—just looking at it was enough to make one tremble with fear.

"Hiss~ Let this humble one recall for a moment." Li Li swallowed hard, then suddenly leaned close to the Ghost Official and quietly slipped a porcelain vase into the Ghost Official's sleeve.

His dorm setup was pretty good; he had killed quite a few Vengeful Spirits in the first round, so he wasn't short on porcelain.

The Ghost Official's expression suddenly darkened: "Recall?! Recall what!"

Li Li was scared out of his wits and hurriedly said, "This humble one didn't see anything, didn't see anything! I've been sleeping at home the whole time!"

It's over, it's over!

The Ghost Official's description said it disliked people who lied!

"Hmph, answer faster next time." The Ghost Official snorted coldly, then turned and left.

Li Li stood there in a daze, drenched in sweat. Only when a gust of wind blew past did he suddenly remember a sentence a six-cycle player had unintentionally said:

—The game's item descriptions can sometimes be deceptive. The information in Information Slips has the highest priority; if you have the means, collect as many Information Slips as possible!
