Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 56

"Ah, I finally managed to get my hands on such a big treasure." Nie Xiaozhu sighed, her small face scrunching up into a frown.

Her expression made it clear she had already made her decision.

"Xiaozhu, have you decided?" Wu Huihui asked, pursing her lips.

"Mm." Nie Xiaozhu nodded, speaking with a carefree tone: "Sister Xu was right, what we on the tenth floor need most right now is actually development!"

"Alright, I'll help you upgrade your main door in a bit."

"Thank you, Sister Huihui."

"Everyone should promote this in the chat room, at least we can earn some reputation."

...

【Dormitory Broadcast: Nie Xiaozhu used "King of Hearts", the fourth round will arrive in three days】

"King of Hearts?"

Xu Lang thought of his own Plum Blossom 3 card.

Immediately, he checked the chat room and indeed found information about that King of Hearts.

"The information format is quite similar to my card, but the effects are worlds apart."

Items without level specifications or directly marked as unknown couldn't be upgraded with Nightmare Coins.

So Xu Lang didn't feel any regret about not buying this card in advance or something.

Anyway, having the fourth round delayed by three days was a huge benefit for him.

He could lie down for three more days.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Xu Lang's lips as he went back to sleep.

...

【Base Nightmare Coins 56, conversion rate 308%, eight-hour production output 228 Nightmare Coins】

【Total Nightmare Coins: 1057】

"Not bad, not bad, back to over a thousand again."

Seeing his harvest, Xu Lang instantly felt full of security.

Upgrading the Cyan Steel Main Door further only required five hundred and fifty Nightmare Coins.

After sleeping for three more days, he might even be able to grind out a level five door!

No matter what, level five should be enough for him to survive.

But this wasn't absolute, especially with mechanism-type monsters like the Ghost Official around.

"Hiss~ I'm only in my second round of the game, yet I might already be able to get a level five door. Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"

"Upgrading the door once per round is the standard for strong players."

"Upgrading the door five times in two rounds - that makes me a freak!"

Xu Lang secretly reveled for a while, then realized this wasn't a very stable situation.

Being too conspicuous wasn't good either.

With over three hundred people in the Mad King Dormitory Building, if they all came knocking, it would be troublesome.

Actually, he was already quite noticeable.

Because he never went out to search for supplies.

And in the eyes of those who loved calculating, this was very abnormal.

Eat one pound of food, gain two pounds of weight - could it be that you're the legendary perpetual motion machine that gains weight even from drinking water?

Xu Lang had never responded to such comments.

This lie was truly hard to maintain - the more you explained, the more loopholes appeared.

"Tsk tsk, these are the troubles of being superhuman." Having figured this out, Xu Lang turned over and wrapped his arms around Cao Yaxuan's slender waist.

In a certain sense, he really was superhuman.

The more superhuman he became, the stronger he got.

...

Afterwards, Wang Yazhi and the others went to cook, and Xu Lang with nothing to do opened his private message box with Xu Ruyan.

【200 Xu Lang: Do you have any skills here that can increase physique while staying at home】

【180 Xu Ruyan: Go home, child, go home】

【200 Xu Lang: I'm serious】

【180 Xu Ruyan: I wish I had something like that too!】

Xu Lang couldn't directly share his Meditation information, since it was already level three, so he could only describe it verbally.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruyan quickly gave her response.

【180 Xu Ruyan: I've heard of such cultivation skills, but they're very precious】

The implication was that she didn't have one either.

Xu Lang thought for a moment, then announced in the chat room that he was purchasing similar skills.

【180 Xu Ruyan: You really don't plan to go out?】

【200 Xu Lang: How do you know I haven't been going out?】

The conversation ended there.

Meanwhile, the chat room exploded.

All because Xu Lang had spoken!

【32 Ye Fan: Universal celebration, Lang Ge, you've finally spoken!】

【33 Zhang Dahai: Lang Ge, you're talking about skills similar to Meditation, right? Have you tasted the benefits?】

【5 Zhu Yan: Lang Ge, such skills probably don't stay available - if anyone had them, they'd use them directly. You might have better luck finding items that boost basic attributes】

【32 Ye Fan: Improving physique? I've spotted the key point. How about I teach you a set of Kegel exercises, Lang Ge】

Xu Lang didn't respond to any of the others.

But he had to respond to Ye Fan's comment.

【200 Xu Lang: I already have a skill that improves mental power, I'm just missing one that improves physique】

【32 Ye Fan: I understand, check my private message】

Soon after, Ye Fan sent Xu Lang a set of fitness exercises - things like Butterfly Double Slaps, Kegel Bridges, Kneeling Hip Thrusts.

Xu Lang's face darkened, and he almost deleted Ye Fan from his friends list.

How could he possibly practice such things!

【2 Thunderbolt: @Xu Lang, add me as a friend】

Xu Lang frowned.

He didn't really add others as friends anymore, otherwise every time he opened his friends list there would be a bunch of private messages, making it too cluttered.

But considering Thunderbolt was the Floor Leader of the second floor, he still clicked agree.

【2 Thunderbolt: I just found an item here that can increase 1 point of physique, do you want it? (Blood Thread Worm Larval Egg)】

Xu Lang clicked to check the information and found that consuming this Blood Thread Worm Larval Egg would indeed increase 1 point of physique, so he immediately replied.

【200 Xu Lang: Want it, name your price】

【2 Thunderbolt: Only accept face-to-face negotiation, mainly because I want to team up with you later to enter exploration mode. Your first round was a zombie instance, so it shouldn't be hard to get some benefits】

【200 Xu Lang: We can discuss through private messages】

【2 Thunderbolt: Then forget it】

In the basketball court, Thunderbolt sat imposingly in the spectator stands, frowning slightly.

Xu Lang really didn't reply to him anymore!

Hiding your true purpose behind a big precondition made it easier for others to take the bait.

But whether Xu Lang had seen through his purpose or genuinely didn't want to go out, he had actually given up just like that.

"Damn, I don't believe you won't come out." Thunderbolt cursed under his breath, stuffing a white egg into his mouth.

Then, his gaze swept over the players in the basketball court.

These players were all his workers - anything they found had to be handed over, and he would then give them Copper Coins to purchase the items.

Moreover, their backpacks were already full of stuff, so hiding items was impossible.

It was precisely because of his domineering personality that very few players followed him.

...

"Hah, trying to trick me into going out." In Dorm 200, Xu Lang sneered.

Seeing Thunderbolt's attitude, Xu Lang was one hundred percent certain the former had ill intentions.

In normal business transactions, who acted like this?

"Xu Lang, the food's ready, come eat." Wang Yazhi called out.

Xu Lang responded and got out of bed.

After the meal, the four played cards for a while before Xu Lang excused himself to go meditate.

With over a thousand Nightmare Coins, letting them sit idle was too wasteful. He planned to upgrade either his Meditation or his Nightmare Bed again.
