Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger
Chapter 147: Blood Bat Nest Design Blueprints, Buy, buy, buy!
Facilities Area.
The facilities available for sale range from level zero to seven.
Xu Lang looked at the only super-specification turret available for sale.

[Introduction: Night has fallen, time for the little darlings to appear!]
[Price: 700000 Copper Coins]
Xu Lang's gaze fixed on the price, his mouth twitching.
Normal Level 7 design blueprints wouldn't be this expensive - the supermarket was deliberately inflating prices for these super-specification "premium goods."
If Xu Lang gritted his teeth, he could afford it, but then the turret materials would also be a problem.
Unless he could find the corresponding lower-level materials and then upgrade them!
This was an idea Xu Lang had always entertained.
But it could only remain an idea - he was currently too busy accumulating treasures to dare use them recklessly.
After examining the T0 tier facilities, Xu Lang turned his attention to the T1 tier facilities.
This time the supermarket had refreshed with five types of Level 6 turret design blueprints and three types of door design blueprints, offering a rich variety.
Among them was the "Yellow Spring Soul-Guiding Lantern" specifically designed to deal with ghost-type enemies, but since Xu Lang already had the Ghost Child, this turret naturally fell outside his consideration.
"For conventional turrets, just the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow seems somewhat insufficient, and I also don't have any turrets for intercepting enemies..."
Xu Lang pondered for a while without rushing to purchase, instead turning his gaze toward other lower-tier facilities.
If he could find some facilities with particularly special effects, he could buy them. Even if he didn't use them, they'd be good as collectibles - they might come in handy for breaking difficult situations someday.
Because Nightmare Coins could upgrade items, Xu Lang maintained high sensitivity toward items with special attributes.
Among the five major areas currently, the Skills Area had the most people, while people in the Facilities Area were just browsing superficially.
For ordinary players, since the general direction for the next game cycle hadn't been determined yet, they didn't dare make hasty decisions.
Skills were different - they just needed to strengthen their own systems!
...
Tong Qi and Wang Yazhi rushed into the Skills Area, their eyes scanning rapidly like searchlights.
The T0 skill was Level 8 Collapsing Fist, priced at four hundred thousand, described as "fist like mountain collapse, force penetrating ten oxen" - a pure combat skill without strategic value, and severely overpriced, so they excluded it.
Level 4 cultivation skill, Black Pool Lotus Meditation Technique - Lang Ge said this was a must-buy!
Extreme Training Method, buy!
Polar Ice Spear Array, buy!
Ancient Wisdom, buy!
Cloud Soaring Step, buy!
Shadow Bind, buy!
Master-level Swordsmanship, buy!
The two women combined had three hundred thousand Copper Coins, which they spent in less than three minutes - truly spending money like water!
...
Equipment Area.
"Found it, T0 equipment!"
Cao Yaxuan looked toward the largest glass display case.
Inside was a set of integrated black fish-scale armor, with thousands of scales densely woven together, complete with helmet, face guard, gauntlets, breastplate, shoulder guards, leg guards, and long boots - and each piece had its own attributes!
It was actually an extremely rare seven-piece set!
"Xu Lang will definitely like this!"
Immediately, Cao Yaxuan shared this equipment's information with Xu Lang.
...
"Gasp~ It actually costs one and a half million Copper Coins."
When Xu Lang saw the message, he was instantly shocked, but after seeing the set's attributes, he found it reasonable.
Although this equipment set was only Level 7, it was the cream of the crop among premium items. Even with the severe price inflation, Xu Lang felt the urge to buy it.
The Jade Burial Suit suddenly seemed less appealing!
The more pieces an equipment set has, the more precious it is.
Sets with fewer pieces aren't necessarily weak, but those with more pieces are definitely strong!
For example, with this Black Fish-Scale Armor's seven major components' attributes combined, one could imagine how powerful it would be.
Although individual pieces could also be worn - seven pieces or even more - some rare individual pieces were equally hard to obtain. Additionally, sets always had set bonuses that individual pieces couldn't match.
"Can't afford it, not looking anymore!"
Xu Lang secretly lamented.
He thought he was quite wealthy, but it turned out he still fell somewhat short.
Although he could force himself to buy this Black Fish-Scale Armor if he really wanted to, that would be putting the cart before the horse.
Dorm 200's individual combat power was already sufficient.
Any further strengthening would really only leave charging into monster hordes to find opponents.
But this kind of gameplay-defying behavior was too reckless, with extremely high chances of failure.
Even top players like the Heavy Armor Maniac who focused on physical builds needed to frequently return to their dorms to recover health - in that case, they might as well just stay in the dorm all the time.
"Maybe I should just let Blood Grudge super multiply next game cycle and have a feast in one go!"
While pondering about Blood Grudge, Xu Lang continued scanning the merchandise.
About twenty minutes later, the seven members of Dorm 200 gathered together.
Total spending exceeded three hundred thousand, and almost all of it was used to buy skills.
"Let's go check out the Equipment Area together." Xu Lang finally suggested.
The Equipment Area was on the far right - scanning from right to left could prevent missing anything.
"Okay!"
The women responded.
On the way to the Equipment Area, Xu Ruyan said, "The supermarket separated the Raw Materials Area, and there are hundreds of types of raw materials inside."
Xu Lang immediately asked, "What's the highest level of raw materials for repairing turrets?"
"Level 6." Xu Ruyan glanced at Xu Lang and smiled, "It's Void Paint Film."
Xu Lang nodded.
It was good that the Mad King Dormitory Building wasn't hiding any dragons.
However, in the Dorm Survival Game, aside from the iron rules, everything else could only be treated as experiential advice - not absolutely accurate, and not guaranteed to apply to any dormitory building or any person, essentially taking a "believe it or not" approach.
"Then regarding those raw materials you mentioned, the Raw Materials Area has them, but they're all too expensive." Xu Ruyan looked meaningfully at Xu Lang as she spoke.
Xu Ruyan was referring to the raw materials needed for the storage room.
"Total cost?" Xu Lang asked.
"Three hundred thousand!" Xu Ruyan said calmly.
Three hundred thousand could buy who knows how many mercenaries' lives.
Mercenaries were a group that automatically emerged among the player population - they took money to handle tasks, doing everything except incurring Blood Grudge.
However, the mercenary culture wasn't very prevalent in the Mad King Dormitory Building yet.
"We'll buy them when we have more money later." Xu Lang shook his head upon hearing this.
Although he had money, it didn't come from nowhere.
When they reached the Equipment Area, Xu Lang picked and chose two shields but didn't buy anything else.
The Skills Area had many skills that looked impressive, but Xu Lang found them all poor value, only casually buying a Wall Climbing skill for Cao Yaxuan and the others.
The Wall Climbing skill wasn't just for climbing walls - it could also be used for escaping and pursuing, essential for veteran players.
Then the seven members of Dorm 200 arrived at the Entertainment Area.
Zhang Dahai stood in front of the Lottery Machine, and when he saw Xu Lang coming, he immediately called out, "Lang Ge, you're here! Come quickly, there are good items in the Lottery Machine this time!"
