Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 59
"Could the final boss actually be these ten people? There are exactly ten floors."
Xu Lang thought of this possibility and couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Among these ten people, some controlled ghosts, others drove corpses, and some practiced gu sorcery - these characteristics perfectly matched the elements that had appeared in this round of the game!
Thinking this, Xu Lang set aside distracting thoughts and focused intently on reading the book.
It recorded the causes of death of the Ten Evil Practitioners, which were also their weaknesses that could be exploited against them.
After finishing, Xu Lang frowned.
With three extra days of development time, the players' situation looked quite favorable, but he felt somewhat worried.
The ten people recorded in this book were truly terrifying, with deeds that grew more outrageous one after another.
After all, Meditation couldn't really be considered immediate combat power. If all the other floors collapsed in the future and monsters all rushed to his side, the Cyan Steel Main Door alone definitely wouldn't hold them off.
This wasn't a question of whether his defense was sufficient, but rather that his current firepower was inadequate!
Firepower was just as important as defense, otherwise no matter how strong the door was, it would just be a turtle shell!
"First, I need to gather enough Nightmare Coins to upgrade both turrets to level four. The door can actually wait, since the Cyan Steel Main Door is already overpowered enough."
Xu Lang made this decision without much hesitation.
Skills that increased attribute points were certainly tempting, but his life was more important.
He had promised to lay low and develop steadily, not turn himself into some reckless brute.
—Congratulations, you successfully breached the dormitory door, now you have to face the dorm owner who is ten times stronger than the dormitory itself.
It sounded pretty good when imagined, but the difficulty of actually implementing it was too high.
After fantasizing for a while, Xu Lang went to bed.
...
[Base Nightmare Coins 80, Conversion Rate 330%, 8-hour production: 344 Nightmare Coins]
[Total Nightmare Coins: 743]
...
You reap what you sow - with triple the effort comes triple the harvest. These over a thousand Nightmare Coins were all well-deserved by Xu Lang!
Tong Qi had finally found her exclusive "outfit set," increasing her Comfort Level to 96 points.
The set consisted of a cute-style yellow T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers.
She had found all these herself through browsing.
And mainly, that T-shirt had a very noticeable effect.
How to describe it?
It was that kind of Pikachu-patterned T-shirt. When worn by a big-chested girl, Pikachu's two cartoon eyes became vivid and lively, as if wearing Kardashian eye makeup, doubling the cuteness.
At first, Tong Qi felt shy about it, but Xu Lang strongly insisted, so she wore it anyway.
It was worth mentioning that even if the three women took off their clothes to sleep, their Comfort Levels wouldn't drop.
Xu Lang didn't know the specific reason, but could only guess it was because their images were already engraved in his mind.
Today was the last day before the game started. Players were fully prepared and brimming with confidence.
The supplies refreshed during game time were very abundant, with almost every player having gained something.
In the chat room.
[32 Ye Fan: Woo-hoo, this Taoist master has succeeded, finally upgraded my Iron Door to Steel Door through grinding!]
[49 Li Shuwen: Hahaha, congratulations, protagonist brother]
[32 Ye Fan: You're laughing so happily, Floor Leader, did you gain something too?]
[49 Li Shuwen: Just a tiny bit]
[40 Zhao Shuang: Floor Leader upgraded one of his turrets to level three. Now even if level three monsters come, they'll have to show some respect]
[49 Li Shuwen: This level three Water Dragon Gun almost exhausted all my resources, and firing one shot is ridiculously expensive. I don't dare use it lightly]
[44 Wang Ao: @Li Shuwen, Brother Li, I noticed you veteran players have many different turret styles. What kind of turret is actually the most powerful?]
[49 Li Shuwen: There's no definitive conclusion. Some turrets have fast attack speed, some slow; some have area damage, some single-target precision shots. But among us players, main turrets are divided into two categories: physical attack and magical attack. Magical attacks are usually area damage and have restraining effects against ghost-type monsters]
[186 Wu Huihui: Aren't there turrets that combine both damage types?]
[49 Li Shuwen: There are, but they're very expensive and rare. The blueprint price is at least twenty percent more expensive than same-level turrets, not to mention material costs, and the copper coins needed for attacks are also expensive... Hybrid damage turrets are jokingly called the noble class playstyle, ordinary people can't afford them]
[40 Zhao Shuang: Then our repeating crossbow belongs to the fast-attack precision shot type?]
[49 Li Shuwen: Right, you guys are quite lucky. Crossbow-type turrets have strong single-target killing ability and advantage in attack speed, suitable for newcomers]
Li Shuwen was probably the most amiable among all the floor leaders. Many newcomers liked asking him questions, and whenever he saw them, he would tirelessly answer.
Xu Lang had seen his photo - a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with some of the demeanor of "old scholars" from the modern era.
"Hybrid damage noble class?"
This was the first time Xu Lang had heard this term, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat interested. He wondered if upgrading the turret to level three would present the option for hybrid damage turrets.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Lang found Xu Ruyan again and asked about hybrid damage turrets.
Wallet -1000 Copper Coins.
This woman, ever since Xu Lang sent that "hehe" message, charged money for everything he asked about.
In the chat room, amid everyone's chatting and laughing, the fourth round quickly arrived.
Exactly at 6 PM, the dormitory broadcast sounded on time.
[Dormitory Broadcast: In these three days, I imagine you've all found the supplies you wanted and achieved your small happinesses]
[After eating and drinking your fill, it's time to fight monsters!]
[In three minutes, a monster wave lasting ten minutes will arrive. Please make preparations!]
["Fierce Ghosts Return" Fourth Round, officially begins!]
"The fourth round is this short?" Cao Yaxuan said in surprise.
Wang Yazhi, holding her long sword, said: "Monster wave, sounds like it will be difficult."
In normal rounds, each door would only be attacked by one or two monsters, but with a monster wave, there might be more.
"I feel the same way." Tong Qi nodded, the yellow Pikachu bobbing up and down with her movements.
The compatibility between person and clothing was MAX!
So lewd!
Xu Lang glanced over, thinking there couldn't be a stronger combination than this, and said: "I feel it's about to come. I'll go try to see if I can upgrade the turret."
"Okay." Cao Yaxuan nodded.
Xu Lang walked to the turret, while Cao Yaxuan and the other two women watched intently, their eyes filled with curiosity.
At this moment, Xu Lang felt a bit nervous.
He had originally planned to wait until the turret's Durability dropped before upgrading, but that would inevitably damage the door's Durability, so quickly killing monsters would be the better choice.
[Nightmare Coins -210]
[Please choose from the following upgrade directions and make your selection within one minute]
[One, Iron Spiked Crossbow: A standard level three turret, arrows with barbs, killing power 34, fast attack speed, each crossbow bolt requires 80 Copper Coins]
[Two, Swift Wind Crossbow: Can fire three crossbow bolts simultaneously after charging, killing power 17, very fast attack speed, each crossbow bolt requires 38 Copper Coins]
[Three, Silver Iron Wing Crossbow: Crossbow bolts deal demon-breaking damage, killing power 37, fast attack speed, each crossbow bolt requires 120 Copper Coins]
[Four, Army Breaker Heavy Crossbow: Heavy crossbow bolts, high self durability, crossbow bolts possess penetration effect, killing power 60, slow attack speed, each crossbow bolt requires 180 Copper Coins]
"Damn~ How do I choose!" The moment Xu Lang saw the information about the four turrets, he felt conflicted.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to choose, but that he wanted to choose them all!
The first one could be directly eliminated - no distinctive features.
The characteristic of crossbow-type turrets was speed, and the Swift Wind Crossbow took this characteristic to the extreme!
The Silver Iron Wing Crossbow should be the legendary hybrid damage crossbow, the noble class playstyle, with each crossbow bolt costing 120 Copper Coins - truly expensive!
As for the Army Breaker Heavy Crossbow, needless to say, it had powerful base attributes and was also hybrid damage!
Anyone would hesitate facing this choice.
These attributes were all absolutely top-tier!
