The combat power on the top three floors had been fully unleashed, but because of the weather, very few dared to go out to help. Xu Ruyan was one of them.

She saw the grim situation on the other floors and became even more determined to move into Dorm 200.

"Huff… I'm so tired!" Cao Yaxuan put away the Colt, opened the leaderboard, and when she saw she was in sixth place, she couldn't help smiling with satisfaction.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that wave of monsters in three hours won't be much different. The real challenge will come on the final day," Xu Lang said softly.

For others, this round of monsters attacking the building was hell, but to him the difficulty was still too low.

"I feel the same way." Wang Yazhi nodded, sheathed her sword, and the sharp killing aura on her body slowly dissipated.

She had just gone out to fight monsters in close combat.

That saved bullets and also honed her skills.

"Lang, look! Someone in the chat room is buying wolf pelts for ten thousand copper coins!" Sherry suddenly shouted.

Xu Lang's expression changed and he immediately opened the chat room.

…

[179 Yun Yun: Sell some wolf pelts, our squad is going out to help!]

[164 Zhao Lei: Where do you even find wolf pelts now!]

[73 Li Xiaobai: So cold, I'm just a little egg back here, can someone send me some firewood!]

[132 Wu Xin: Help, please come down and save us, my mom is still in the dorm!]

[179 Yun Yun: @Xu Lang, boss, I know you still have stock, sell me two wolf pelts, I'm willing to pay ten thousand copper coins!]

…

"Hahaha, wolf pelts finally hit the ten thousand copper coin mark!" In Dorm 77, Zhou Daha laughed wildly.

A tenant sneered, "Should've been like this a long time ago. Those people wear wolf pelts out there, they can easily find a Level Three item and break even, so the real price of wolf pelts is over twenty thousand!"

He estimated someone might find a Level Five item today, which would explode the market again.

"Big Brother Daha, you are amazing!" another tenant flattered.

A different tenant hesitated, "Should we sell some wolf pelts now, or no one will come help us."

"What are you afraid of? Wait until the players on the fourth floor are dead," Zhou Daha said dismissively.

…

Xu Lang guessed the price of wolf pelts would keep rising.

But then again, if players were all killed by monsters, who would buy them?

"Tong Qi, ten thousand copper coins each, list twenty wolf pelts." Xu Lang instructed.

To avoid taking up inventory slots, he handed all the wolf pelts to Tong Qi.

"Okay!" Tong Qi nodded.

[200 Xu Lang: I have listed twenty wolf pelts]

Less than a minute after Xu Lang posted this in the chat room, the twenty wolf pelts were snapped up!

Xu Lang rubbed his chin and mused, "Retail investors don't have much money now. Selling out this fast probably means someone is hoarding stock."

"Lang Ge, the previous fifteen wolf pelts made over ninety thousand copper coins, and now we earned two hundred thousand copper coins. Being a merchant is really profitable!" Tong Qi said excitedly.

She still had about twenty wolf pelts left in her backpack!

The market was insane!

All told, Xu Lang already had over five hundred thousand copper coins, not counting other resources.

By the end of this game round, Xu Lang's copper coins would definitely exceed one million.

Cao Yaxuan smiled faintly, "You guys don't know, one of my cousins is a big merchant in the game, he makes money ten thousand times faster than people doing menial tasks."

Xu Lang agreed with a nod.

When he couldn't sleep before, he used to grind in the game, doing chores for others.

But those were low-level plays. High-level strategies were either becoming a merchant or running a studio.

Once Xu Lang sold twenty wolf pelts, someone else immediately listed wolf pelts on the Trading Network for fifteen thousand copper coins each.

That seller was heavily criticized.

Xu Lang ignored it and began organizing Tong Qi to capture a new "little spirit."

"I'll release two little ghosts first…"

Tong Qi pondered for a long time, then released two ghost pets with somewhat overlapping functions.

The moment those two little ghosts were unbound, they screamed in panic and ran around the room as if in torment.

Tong Qi hurried to open the door.

Everyone watched as the two little ghosts streaked out the door and raced toward the Blood Mist World outside the dormitory building.

"What's wrong with those two little ghosts? So strange," Sherry scratched her head.

"I think the Heavy Armor Maniac said once that monsters outside the dorm system are very afraid of dorms," Wang Yazhi replied softly.

No one dwelled on it further.

After closing the door, Tong Qi began to tame the Frost Ghost Archmage.

The group formed a circle around Tong Qi, and their excitement rose.

They were about to tame a Level Five boss monster, and it was also a special ethereal-type unit!

Tong Qi took a deep breath and summoned the Frost Ghost Archmage.

As soon as the Frost Ghost Archmage appeared, eight prepped little ghosts pounced on him.

"Detention Curse!" Tong Qi made some hand signs, and a blood-red sigil quickly appeared, pressing onto the archmage's forehead.

The struggling Frost Ghost Archmage suddenly froze in place.

Tong Qi widened her eyes, extremely tense.

Everyone held their breath, including Xu Lang.

At that moment, he felt like throwing a Poké Ball in LoK Kingdom.

A few seconds later, the Frost Ghost Archmage let out a roar, chill filling the air. The little ghosts that had latched onto him wailed miserably.

"His spirit attribute is too high!" Tong Qi hurriedly stepped back.

As a Level Five boss, the Frost Ghost Archmage's spirit attribute was certainly not lower than Tong Qi's!

Sss~

A streak of ice-blue flame appeared in the archmage's hand and was casually hurled at the retreating Tong Qi!

In this critical moment, a purple ghostly shadow flashed across Tong Qi's body and the ice-blue flame passed through her harmlessly.

"Let's cripple it first!" Wang Yazhi moved with elegant agility, her sword blade emitting a green light. With two swift strikes she landed on the Frost Ghost Archmage.

Clear spirit energy can harm ethereal forms; it's a power combining spirit and vitality.

The Frost Ghost Archmage groaned, its soul-body dimming slightly.

Wang Yazhi's eyes hardened. Several more consecutive strikes left the Frost Ghost Archmage at death's door.

"Stop!" Xu Lang called out, and the fiery dragon he had been charging dissipated.

Wang Yazhi sheathed her sword and stepped back, her dark hair like a waterfall and her white clothes purer than snow, exuding nonchalance.

A flicker of admiration crossed Tong Qi's eyes. "Thank you, Sister Yazhi."

"No problem, we're all one in Dorm 200." Wang Yazhi shook her head lightly.

The Frost Ghost Archmage was barely clinging to life, its soul as thin as paper. If they couldn't tame it now, there would be no other chance.

Tong Qi stepped forward and once again pressed a blood sigil onto the archmage's forehead.

After a moment of struggle, the blood sigil dispersed…

But it still failed!

In the end, even with extreme stat allocation, Tong Qi's spirit attribute was only twenty-two, while the Frost Ghost Archmage, as a Level Five soul monster, had at least thirty spirit attribute.

Tong Qi couldn't hide her disappointment.

At that moment, Xu Lang said, "Try putting a special status on it."

In the game, capturing pets often required more than just knocking them down; you needed to apply a buff.

Following Xu Lang's direction, Wang Yazhi went to get incense sticks and light them, while Tong Qi drank a cola that temporarily increased her spirit by three points.

They set the incense at the Frost Ghost Archmage's feet, and soon it grew drowsy. The little ghosts clinging to him swayed and looked like they could fall asleep at any moment.

Tong Qi seized the opportunity and attempted capture for the third time.

This time, it worked!

The detention sigil smoothly sank into the archmage's head!

A clear light flickered in the Frost Ghost Archmage's eyes, and it bowed to Tong Qi.

"Success!" Tong Qi was overjoyed and jumped up, making Xu Lang feel a little dizzy watching her.
