"What's going on?" Wu Huihui saw the monsters that were breaking down the door rapidly charging forward and couldn't help but look confused.

"It should be Xu Lang's side having new developments again," Wang Tingting guessed.

"Let me ask Yazhi," Nie Xiaozhu quickly opened a private message to Wang Yazhi.

However, a long time passed with no reply from the other party.

Wang Yazhi saw the message.

But she really didn't know how to respond.

She couldn't exactly reveal that Xu Lang had special skills, and if she lied, she'd need other lies to cover it up.

So, although this approach might hurt their relationship somewhat, Wang Yazhi still went through with it.

There was no other way - while her relationship with Nie Xiaozhu was decent, there was still a distinction between close and distant connections.

...

"Holy crap, what's going on? How is Lang Ge's points increasing like this?" Ye Fan, hiding in his room, frequently checked the Points Leaderboard and noticed Xu Lang's points would suddenly jump by nearly ten thousand points, then jump again by nearly ten thousand points, leaving him utterly shocked with his mouth agape.

【33 Ye Fan: Brother Dahai, quickly check Lang Ge's points】

【33 Zhang Dahai: Okay】

Somewhere in an underground tunnel, a Blood Flame Lantern hung on the wall, providing both illumination and warmth.

Zhang Dahai put down his high-quality pickaxe, opened the Points Leaderboard, and immediately showed an expression of surprise.

What super monster did Xu Lang kill? How is his points increasing like this!

Forget it, no point worrying about dormitory building matters anyway.

Zhang Dahai shook his head, picked up his pickaxe and continued digging.

The tunnel stretched straight forward, already nearly twenty meters long. The further forward he went, the more ice fragments were in the earth, and it was getting progressively colder.

"Although Uncle Wen only paid me one hundred thousand Copper Coins for one sequence, he promised to help me get ranking next round and even boosted my constitution by three points. It's still quite worthwhile... Well, anyway I just need to help out occasionally, don't need to be involved the whole time."

...

"Sister, all the monsters are gone," Xu Xiaomeng said softly in Dorm 180.

"Mhm!" Xu Ruyan nodded firmly, a flash of determination in her eyes.

When the corridor monsters weren't being cleared out earlier, her heart had sunk considerably.

Would Xu Lang not be able to hold on?

Being on the same floor as Xu Lang made it easy to coast along, but once Xu Lang fell, they'd have to declare GG too!

She had started seriously doubting whether her previous thinking was correct.

Was sending Xu Xiaomeng to Xu Lang's dorm really a good choice?

Actually, if she were alone, she wouldn't have felt such intense anxiety - if Xu Lang fell, she was confident she could escape alone.

All these changes stemmed from Xu Xiaomeng.

One life could be as light as a feather, but two lives would be as heavy as Mount Tai!

...

The Frost Ghost King saw his elite forces falling in droves in the tenth-floor corridor and angrily slammed his frost throne.

Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

It wasn't that he couldn't accept losses, but he couldn't accept losing so many soldiers without achieving any results.

Just touching the door a couple times and then dying - what kind of trash are you?!

"I must kill that man, I must kill him!" The Frost Ghost King gritted his teeth until they creaked, red light flashing violently in his pupils.

The Frost Ghost Guards trembled in fear.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot! What are you doing? Can't you see those people have come out of their dorms?" The Frost Ghost King suddenly roared at the Frost Ghost Guards, spraying saliva.

On other floors where monsters were more scattered, players often peeked out.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Frost Ghost Guards hurriedly drew their bows and fired arrows toward the dormitory building.

"Bastards!!! No one has even come out, why are you shooting randomly?!" The Frost Ghost King was nearly exploding with rage.

After being pressured again, the Frost Ghost Guards were almost crying.

Being a monster wasn't easy either.

...

Less than three minutes after the Void Splitter appeared, all the monsters in front of Dorm 200 had been eliminated.

"Whew... what an exhilarating defensive battle!" Cao Yaxuan shook her head and sighed, putting on an exhausted expression.

Xu Lang glanced sideways at Cao Yaxuan.

Stealing my line on purpose, huh?

He noted this grievance in his little book and would get revenge promptly tomorrow morning.

"Let's go out and collect the loot quickly, I see quite a few good items," Wang Yazhi said with a light smile.

With so much experience sorting through supplies, the girls had developed sharp eyes.

Many items looked extraordinary just from their appearance.

Xu Lang and the five women went out to collect items, with Tong Qi releasing five little ghost guardians.

Other players on the tenth floor didn't dare approach when they saw this from afar.

Moreover, compared to previous days, most players now just peeked out, collected some supplies and went back inside, unwilling to stay out even one second longer.

It was just too cold outside.

Today the Frost Ghost King had come and cast some spells, causing the temperature to drop again, eventually stabilizing at minus fifty degrees Celsius!

With the temperature dropping again, undoubtedly, cold protection supplies on the Trading Network had risen in price again.

Also, because there were no Frost Wolves in the Frost Ghost army during this defensive battle, Frost Wolf pelts had become even more precious.

Even though the monster attack on the building was still ongoing, players in all dormitories were monitoring the Trading Network, so market reactions were very quick.

Xu Ruyan came out of her room but didn't go to support the lower floors. Instead, she looked toward Xu Lang's group.

When she saw the wolf pelt wrapped around the shrine, her expression immediately became strained.

What the hell, even your Guardian Spirit is wearing clothes now?!

Xu Ruyan quickly approached, finally stopping in front of Dorm 190 and not going further.

"Pretty good harvest this round, huh," Xu Ruyan said, making conversation without having anything to say.

Xu Lang gave her a strange look and said, "They're still fighting downstairs, and you're here to chat with me?"

The implication was: if you have something to say, say it; don't waste time.

Xu Ruyan's brow twitched, feeling quite nostalgic for the Xu Lang who used to pay her for information.

That guy who showed some potential back then had now left her so far behind in just one game round that she couldn't even see his taillights!

"What have you thought about what I discussed with you last time?" Xu Ruyan asked.

"Reserving a tenant spot?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.

Hearing this, Cao Yaxuan and the others slowed their item collection and all looked at Xu Ruyan simultaneously.

"Mhm," Xu Ruyan nodded.

"I already told you, your sister doesn't qualify," Xu Lang shook his head in refusal, his expression showing no fluctuation.

Actually, he had some thoughts about it.

If he really couldn't find other suitable candidates by the end of this game round, Xu Xiaomeng wouldn't be a bad choice.

After all, getting another point-farming Pal one day earlier would mean starting the snowball effect sooner.

Plus, Xu Xiaomeng herself didn't seem like the type of girl with many schemes - she should be able to integrate into Dorm 200 quickly.

"What if it's me then?" Xu Ruyan said something shocking.

"You?!" Xu Lang was somewhat surprised. "Aren't you going to take care of your sister?"

As he spoke, he checked Xu Ruyan's information.

【Name: Xu Ruyan】

【Experience: Four cycles (in progress)】

【Room Number: 180 (Dorm Owner)】

【Comfort Level: 98 (can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 98%)】

Holy crap! The true goddess has descended!

Starting with ninety-eight Comfort Level - that's practically maxed out already!

When Xu Ruyan expressed her intention to become a tenant, Xu Lang's perception of her immediately shifted from "venomous snake" to - venomous beauty girlfriend · curvaceous figure · powerful strength · absolutely usable top-tier Pal!

This wasn't some venomous snake - this was clearly my exceptional tenant!
