【Vote countdown: 30 minutes】

The Mad King Dormitory Building suddenly presented seven trait choices. Others felt it was just novel, but Xu Lang felt somewhat shocked.

"This... Rainy Night Blade's dormitory building traits are completely inferior to the Mad King Dormitory Building's!"

Not to mention the others, just look at the seventh option, Shared Glory and Shame.

Rainy Night Blade had mentioned similar dormitory traits before, but they couldn't achieve upgrading dorms for all top fifty players!

The difference here was enormous!

As long as fifty dorm owners survived one round of the game, the next round could have forty additional turret positions and accommodate forty more people!

The entire Mad King Dormitory Building's firepower would become absolutely insane!

Just imagine, each round the Mad King Dormitory Building would gain forty additional turret positions—how fierce would that firepower be?

Over time, the number of turrets would be several times greater than other dormitory buildings!

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that other dormitory buildings had similar traits, and reportedly dormitory building trait quality would keep improving.

【49 Li Shuwen: Choose Shared Glory and Shame!】

【49 Zhu Yan: Everyone listen to Uncle Wen!】

【179 Yun Yun: Actually, I think Mad Money Bag is pretty good!】

【130 He Qi: Mad King's Whisper seems quite interesting; I've never seen similar traits before, feels like every trait is top-tier】

【89 Tang Ze: @He Qi, dude, how many times have you migrated dormitory buildings to say something like that? Choosing Shared Glory and Shame is flawless, otherwise when would our dorms ever get upgraded】

【48 Zhou Liyuan: Yeah, Xu Lang's whole family will take up many slots】

【48 Zhou Liyuan: Sorry, spoke without thinking, can I retract that?】

【83 Su Qi: Shared Glory and Shame forcibly eliminates the bottom five, feels a bit terrifying!】

【7 Wang Xiaoye: I want to choose Nouveau Riche, anyone joining me? Gospel for bottom-tier players!】

【22 Zhao Liang: Small fries stop interrupting, Mad King Dormitory Building players can't migrate buildings, we must consider the long term!】

The Floor Leaders began canvassing for votes.

Everyone had different understandings and playstyles, making it naturally difficult to unify goals.

The chat room became chaotic, with many people postponing resource gathering activities to vote for traits.

Xu Lang observed for a while and noticed that "Shared Glory and Shame" had the loudest support.

However, when he checked the vote counts, he found "Shared Glory and Shame" was only in second place, with "Nouveau Riche" ranking first!

This was the silent rebellion of the bottom-tier players!

"Xu Lang, what should we choose?" Cao Yaxuan asked.

Tong Qi licked her lips, also looking at Xu Lang.

"Should we discuss it with Huihui and them?" Wang Yazhi suddenly spoke up: "The chat room is updated now, we can create small groups. Xu Lang, do you want to join?"

"Okay." Xu Lang nodded.

【Wang Yazhi invites you to join "Tenth Floor Group," Accept/Decline?】

A prompt popped up. Xu Lang clicked accept, and immediately a small group icon appeared in the chat room. Clicking in revealed it was filled with tenth floor players, with Wu Huihui as the group creator.

【186 Wu Huihui: Xu Lang joined, welcome!!!】

【186 Nie Xiaozhu: Welcome Lang Ge!】

【186 Wang Tingting: Welcome Lang Ge!】 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

【181 Li Yu: Welcome Lang Ge!】

【180 Xu Xiaomeng: Welcome!】

【200 Xu Lang: How are you all planning to vote?】

【185 Zhang Dantong: We all listen to Sister Hui】

【186 Wu Huihui: Xu Lang, what do you want to choose?】

【200 Xu Lang: Not decided yet, temporarily feeling Mad Money Bag is quite interesting】

【186 Wu Huihui: Oh, I see, then you better decide quickly, everyone is voting already】

Many players were impatient and, wanting to boost momentum for their preferred trait, voted directly.

They only needed half the dormitory building's votes to secure victory.

Xu Lang opened the main chat room and found everyone arguing endlessly, with chat messages constantly scrolling up.

...

Dorm 44.

"Brother Wang, wake up, time to vote!" Xiao Bing shook Wang Ao, waking him.

"Huh? What's wrong, time to go find Wood?" Wang Ao woke up, eyes dazed as if not fully awake.

"Where would we find Wood now?" Xiao Bing's mouth twitched, saying: "Brother Wang, check the panel prompts."

Hearing this, Wang Ao simply lay back in bed: "False, I must still be dreaming."

Xiao Bing: "..."

Does stock trading really hit people this hard?

...

【49 Li Shuwen: @Zhao Liang @Tang Ze @Zhou Shen @He Qi @Zheng Kai @Yun Yun @Zhang Dahai @Wu Huihui, everyone don't split votes, or we'll really end up with Nouveau Riche】

Li Shuwen tagged all the Floor Leaders and influential players.

Finally, he specifically tagged Xu Lang alone.

【49 Li Shuwen: @Xu Lang, little brother, what trait do you want to choose?】

As soon as he said this, the heated atmosphere in the chat room instantly cooled as everyone waited for Xu Lang to speak.

【200 Xu Lang: I think Bloodthirst is pretty good】

【179 Yun Yun: I think you're being a bit too extreme, Xu Lang, let's just choose Shared Glory and Shame!】

【95 Zhou Shen: Seconded!】

Hearing Xu Lang wanted to choose Bloodthirst, the players suddenly became united!

Don't let us somehow end up choosing Bloodthirst in the end—then the Mad King Dormitory Building could directly rename itself the Slaughterhouse.

"Lang Ge, do you really want to choose Bloodthirst? Should I have Huihui canvass votes for you?" Tong Qi asked quietly.

Xu Lang shook his head: "Bloodthirst boosts combat power, not basic attributes, so the enhancement covers all aspects. It's genuinely quite good, but probably no one will choose it."

Cao Yaxuan commented: "Probably scared quite a few people."

Time flew by, and eventually Shared Glory and Shame received the highest votes.

The Shared Glory and Shame trait offered almost no improvement for Xu Lang personally, but it eliminated the risks when Cao Yaxuan and the others farmed points, which was within acceptable limits.

【Dormitory Broadcast: The Mad King Dormitory Building's first trait has been activated. Let us swear blood oaths, unite our efforts, and share glory and shame!】

The dormitory building suddenly shook slightly, as if a giant had sighed, giving people an inexplicable sense of "liveliness."

【Mad King Dormitory Building iteration complete. All level 0 dorms upgraded to level 1 dorms】

【Third period Points Leaderboard rewards will be distributed in three minutes】

【Fourth period game is actively being prepared and will arrive in 7 days, 23 hours. It will be even more exciting and thrilling—please look forward to it!】
