Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 95
【Dormitory Broadcast: The third round of games at Mad King Dormitory Building officially begins. After this round, all basic dormitories will automatically upgrade to level 1. Everyone will have turrets by then, congratulations!】
【The third round game is called "Day and Night Ghost March." This game will have 20 hours of daylight and 4 hours of nighttime.】
【During daylight, temperatures will drop sharply and Frost Ghosts will appear. Everyone should stay warm while remaining vigilant against Frost Ghosts breaking down doors.】
【During nighttime, the area outside dormitories will enter the "Polar Night" phenomenon, and mysterious monsters will emerge to hunt. Capturing mysterious monsters will yield great rewards. Don't sleep too soundly.】
【This round's game duration is seven days.】
【Wishing you all, martial prosperity.】
The dormitory broadcast was ice-cold. Although it ended with words of blessing, it conveyed no warmth.
Xu Lang looked grave and was about to turn to say something to Cao Yaxuan and the others when his expression darkened.
"Why are you wearing that outfit again?!"
【A Certain Anime Fan's Pink Anime-themed Shirt】
【Type: Clothing】
【Level: 3】
【Deconstruction Yield: Intermediate Leather X3, Pigment X3】
【Upgrade Condition: 74 Nightmare Coins】
【Description: Did you hear? There's a comic convention on the highway tonight...】
"I like wearing it! Trendy girls tend to be quite resilient," Cao Yaxuan pouted, having her own logic.
This pink anime-themed shirt was found in a Rust Lake Park trash can. No one bought it when listed on the Trading Network, but after Cao Yaxuan discovered it, she treated it like a treasure.
The fragrant campus goddess had turned into a stinky otaku girl!
However, since it was game time now, Xu Lang didn't want to argue further and instead opened the chat room.
【49 Li Shuwen: Brothers, this is a standard environment-type instance. Everyone be careful and try to adapt to the environment.】
【89 Tang Ze: The Polar Night phenomenon sounds very special—could be the most difficult or a welfare stage.】
【181 Li Yu: Day and Night Ghost March—does this round still mainly feature ghost-type monsters? Good thing I pasted talismans on my door.】
【95 Zhou Shen: Anyone have information about Frost Ghosts? Sounds like a special race.】
【33 Ye Fan: Wait, don't you all feel really cold?】
Cold...
Xu Lang felt it too. He looked at the surveillance screen and saw that the corridor outside had turned white. The temperature was plummeting.
Environment-type games—he had learned a bit about their unique characteristics from conversations with Rainy Night Blade and others over the past few days.
In this type of game, players' opponents include not only monsters and other players but also the environment itself!
Moreover, these instances are extremely unfriendly to bottom-tier players, causing massive casualties among them.
"Lang Ge, it's starting to snow outside," Tong Qi said, pointing at the surveillance screen.
Sherry ran back to her room and found a thermometer from a pile of miscellaneous items: "Look, it's already minus five degrees! No wonder it's so cold!"
Wang Yazhi shivered and suddenly said: "Not good! We need to prepare cold-resistant supplies quickly!"
...
People with quick minds knew exactly what to do at this moment.
Wu Huihui, reminded by Nie Xiaozhu, also began bulk-buying cold-resistant supplies.
In such extreme conditions, bottom-tier players would definitely be unable to cope. Then they could resell supplies and profit again.
However, Wu Huihui didn't plan to do that because the girls on the tenth floor also needed supplies.
...
"Daddy, what are you all doing?" Li Wenwen asked Li Shuwen and the others, looking confused.
She saw various supplies rapidly appearing around the group.
Clothes—buy!
Quilts—buy!
Firewood, lighters—buy!
These veteran players were too ruthless—they'd even considered burning fires to resist the cold.
Players who hadn't reserved Copper Coins could only watch helplessly as supplies were bought up, even if they realized what was happening.
Several minutes later, all corresponding cold-resistant supplies on the Trading Network were completely swept clean. Only then did Li Shuwen patiently explain the purpose to his daughter.
Li Wenwen seemed thoughtful and didn't say any overly compassionate words.
During breaks, she had been constantly by Li Shuwen's side and had learned a lot.
"This round is a welfare game for us," the female tenant said, glancing at the air conditioner with a light laugh.
Indeed, Li Shuwen had once been the Top Player too, and the core facility he chose was the air conditioner.
...
"These animals really bought everything up so quickly," Xu Lang cursed in Dorm 200.
"They're too cruel. What will those bottom-tier people do?" Sherry asked anxiously.
Although Xu Lang had also bought many cold-resistant supplies, that was out of necessity... As for the others? Pure scoundrels!
After installing the Crystal Marble Launcher, Xu Lang still had 100,000 Copper Coins left, and this procurement spree had cost him 10,000 Copper Coins.
"Xu Lang, I'm so cold~" Cao Yaxuan shivered uncontrollably, her nose running.
"Then why aren't you getting back in bed? Don't forget the Nightmare Bed adapts to temperature automatically," Xu Lang rolled his eyes. "And take off that outfit, or you're not allowed in bed!"
The dorm owner's authority over tenants was absolute!
Cao Yaxuan obediently took off her clothes and got into bed, immediately feeling warmer.
Sherry endured for a while longer before also undressing and getting into bed.
Both girls had too low constitution stats. If they didn't return to bed, they could potentially freeze to death, let alone catch a cold.
Soon after, Tong Qi also got into bed.
There was no choice—her constitution was too poor.
This was the downside of extreme stat allocation—dominant when favorable, dominated when unfavorable.
Meanwhile, Xu Lang and Wang Yazhi continued watching the surveillance screen, waiting for the monsters' arrival.
"Lang Ge, Yaxuan, quickly check the chat room!" Tong Qi suddenly alerted them.
【33 Zhang Dahai: Brothers, look outside the dormitory building! (picture)】
...
About ten minutes after the game started, humanoid and beast-like monsters covered in icicles with blue eyes appeared outside the dormitory building.
Moreover, they didn't attack immediately but waited for companions to arrive from all directions.
Only after forming a large army did they charge into the dormitory building under the command of a crowned humanoid monster leading them.
These monsters quickly filled the first, second, third, fourth floors...
"Holy shit, so many monsters!"
"These monsters are at least level three minimum!"
"How are there so many unit types? Spears and swords—it's like a civilization!"
"Mom, if the door gets broken, you run first. Go to the Floor Leader, run without looking back!"
...
Before the monsters even reached the tenth floor, Xu Lang stood behind the door, ready to upgrade it.
His expression was grim, deeply apprehensive inside.
Good thing he hadn't been greedy and upgraded the Nightmare Bed yesterday.
Just one glance at those Frost Ghosts' information told him his Cyan Steel Main Door absolutely couldn't withstand them!!!
