Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger
Chapter 139: Frost Set Equipment, Dormitory Upgrade
【Blood Contract·Ultimate Frost Energy】
【Type: Blood Contract Skill】
【Level: 10】
【Effect: Consumes spiritual energy or stamina to generate extreme cold power from the frozen lands】
【Upgrade Condition: 30,000 Nightmare Coins】
【Introduction: Beings possessing Ultimate Frost Energy are called "Ice Vein Nobility" in those frozen lands】
The Ultimate Frost Energy's killing power was extremely potent, instantly freezing zombies into icy fragments, with a release range reaching up to ten meters. If creating ice spikes for shooting, the attack distance could extend even further!
Wang Yazhi and the others were all utterly astonished.
The Ultimate Frost Energy's power was too immense!
Cao Yaxuan stood in the center of the room, her feet planted on a frost circle, radiating bone-chilling cold with scattered snowflakes drifting around her. She held a piece of frozen-cracked steel in her hand, crushing it effortlessly with a light squeeze.
"How's the consumption?" Xu Lang suddenly asked.
"The consumption is quite heavy, I feel a bit dizzy," Cao Yaxuan replied, her excitement fading as she suddenly felt lightheaded after hearing Xu Lang's question.
Xu Lang stepped forward to support her, immediately feeling a piercing cold sensation.
This was just the natural temperature she was emitting—the Ultimate Frost Energy hadn't even been directed at him yet.
"This isn't heavy, this is light!" Xu Lang shook his head. "After all that exertion, you're only feeling slightly dizzy!"
Cao Yaxuan hadn't allocated any stat points yet.
This indicated that besides its killing power, the Ultimate Frost Energy also had excellent sustainability.
After all, it was a treasure dropped by an overpowered monster, truly valuable.
However, Xu Lang wasn't particularly envious.
If given the choice again, he would probably still choose vampire skills.
The reason was simple—for him personally, skill compatibility was far more important than level.
The path could be long, but it shouldn't be winding.
Creatures like vampires with their formidable vitality were truly the top-tier "talents" in the Dorm Survival Game.
Skills that could substitute for Ultimate Frost Energy occasionally appeared in the supermarket, but there were almost none that could replace vampire skills.
"Yes, Sister Yaxuan, your skill consumption is actually quite low," Tong Qi said with a smile.
"Really?" Cao Yaxuan's lips curled upward, barely able to contain her laughter.
Xu Lang temporarily set aside the other Blood Crystals and began contemplating equipment issues.
Since Cao Yaxuan and the others had gained so many attribute points with him, he couldn't just have them be score-farming Pals in the future... they would also need to be labor Pals, combat Pals, defense Pals, support Pals...
The third round of the game had dropped an enormous amount of equipment, and among them was a set that seemed suitable for all of them.
...
Frost Helmet: Spirit Attribute +2.
Frost Breastplate: Defense +2.
Frost Leggings: Defense +2.
Frost Gauntlets: Constitution Attribute +2.
This was a matching set system—wearing all pieces would trigger a special effect.
【Frost Heart: Constitution Attribute +2, releases cold energy to counterattack enemies when struck】
A complete set combined would add ten attribute points, plus the special effect.
Such complete sets were considered rare types in the Dorm Survival Game, not typically dropped by ordinary game monsters.
And Xu Lang had a full twenty-three Frost Sets!
At this moment, Cao Yaxuan and the others had all equipped the Frost Sets, making them visible externally.
The cold blue breastplates looked exceptionally fierce, the helmets ornate, forming a complete set from head to toe that appeared quite impressive.
Xu Lang also tried on the Frost Set for a while, then removed it and switched back to the Jade Burial Suit.
Although the Jade Burial Suit was one-piece and couldn't be worn with other equipment once equipped, its effects were extremely premium, making him reluctant to change.
"Sister Yazhi, try stabbing me with your sword!" Tong Qi said, puffing out her chest while wearing the Frost Set.
"Alright." Wang Yazhi thrust her sword forward, reducing a small amount of durability.
Immediately, a surge of cold energy erupted from Tong Qi's breastplate, freezing the sword tip.
Wang Yazhi withdrew her sword, shaking off the frost from the tip, thoughtfully saying, "In the future when all players have equipment, breaking through defenses with one strike will become very difficult, unless hitting vital spots."
Equipment typically doesn't cover the face and neck—these are the vulnerabilities.
All data in the Dorm Survival Game could only serve as reference, not meaning that 4 points of killing power against 1 point of defense would only deal 3 points of damage.
Everyone are real people, not data entities.
If someone holds a 0-defense iron ingot against their chest, you still won't be able to pierce through it. If a 0-killing-power truck hits you, you'll still become flattened like newspaper. These are common sense situations that aren't formally presented through data systems.
Including force application methods, attribute counters, and whether additional potential energy was used—all these determine the final outcome.
Of course, if your numerical values are high enough, then everything above becomes irrelevant!
"True." Tong Qi looked pleased—enhanced player defense was greatly beneficial for fragile players like her. Her gaze subconsciously turned to Xu Lang: "Lang Ge, how much killing power does your Blood Pelican Blade have now?"
"Ninety points, still need to kill eight more people to max it out," Xu Lang smiled, shaking his head as he added: "It still can't shatter the Frost Breastplate right now."
"Okay." Tong Qi nodded.
She wondered if Lang Ge would ever reach the point where he could shatter armor with one strike.
Shattering armor with one strike was extremely difficult for players, its rarity comparable to General Golden Blade's feat of breaking through the door with three strikes back then.
"How should we price the Frost Sets?" Sherry suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Cao Yaxuan frowned and said, "The longer time passes, the richer players become, but they might also find new equipment during this period, reducing their desire to purchase."
"The value of complete sets should still hold, they won't depreciate that quickly," Wang Yazhi said, her brows also furrowing.
In the Dorm Survival Game, no one could say for certain.
Tong Qi timidly raised her hand: "How about we sell them in batches like before?"
This was a good idea.
All four women looked toward Xu Lang.
"Acceptable." Xu Lang nodded.
Currently, Frost Helmet was the scarcest and most expensive on the market, priced at thirty thousand Copper Coins with only one available for sale. Other Frost components were priced around twenty thousand.
Xu Lang took an average price and listed five complete Frost Sets at once, then announced it in the chat room before leaving it at that.
Additionally, Xu Lang listed the weapons dropped sporadically by Frost Ghost Soldiers on the Trading Network.
Weapons were generally more expensive than equipment.
Level 4 weapons could sell for thirty to forty thousand Copper Coins, though unfortunately, level 4 weapons dropped relatively rarely in the previous game round.
Actually, equipment pricing also depended on the region.
Some dormitory buildings were wealthy, so equipment sold for higher prices, while some were poor, so equipment sold cheaper.
Players in the Mad King Dormitory Building should be considered wealthy, given the quality of monsters here.
Even though Xu Lang consumed many resources, players in the Mad King Dormitory Building still had considerable money.
Players' main source of funds came from floor sweeping, with monster hunting being secondary.
Monsters dropped considerable amounts of money, but turret costs were too high. Once automatic attack mode was activated, barely maintaining balance between income and expenses was considered good—even if there were profits, they were minimal.
Many players, to save on turret costs, would periodically venture out themselves, becoming human turrets.
Xu Lang could profit from killing monsters purely because of the high monster density—otherwise, even with high-level turrets, ordinary people might still operate at a loss.
Time flew by quickly. After working busily for quite some time, Xu Lang and his group finally listed all the sellable materials on the Trading Network.
Every time a game round ended was the busiest period for Xu Lang's household.
Actually, other players were similar—everyone was actively reviewing their performances, and those who didn't review would use the time to rest or sweep floors.
After handling all urgent matters, Xu Lang began upgrading his dormitory.
This time, there were actually six different layout options available! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
And all of them gave Xu Lang a feeling of being genuinely impressive!
