Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger
Chapter 153: The Card Reappears, Jack of Clubs!
【Basic Nightmare Coins 80, Conversion Rate 762%, Eight-hour Production 689 Nightmare Coins】
【Total Nightmare Coins: 2172】
In just one night, the Nightmare Coins had broken through two thousand!
"Damn! Yesterday I was thrilled about awakening the Blood Pelican Blade, and today I might be able to upgrade the Blood Pelican Blade by two whole levels!"
Xu Lang's excitement was written all over his face.
Keep in mind, there were still six more point-farming opportunities ahead!
Assuming he could earn seven hundred Nightmare Coins per night, then six times seven hundred would be four thousand two hundred, and this period would include another Nightmare Bed mutation!
"The game difficulty is increasing, but my growth rate will always stay ahead of you!"
Of course, this was conditional on proper planning—neither being reckless nor cowardly. He needed to find the right balance himself.
Staring at the two thousand plus Nightmare Coins, Xu Lang felt unbearably itchy.
After all, he still had one dose of Golden Revolution unused.
He couldn't place all his hopes on Luo Lin. Until the Evolution Serum was developed, he would keep this Golden Revolution reserved.
If not for the uncertainty with Luo Lin, Xu Lang would have already used the Golden Revolution on Cao Yaxuan and the others. Their Comfort Level would definitely increase then.
But then... would I be able to handle them?
"Lang Ge."
Just as Xu Lang's thoughts wandered, a timid voice called out.
Xu Lang looked toward the source and found Xu Xiaomeng gazing at him with her pure, large eyes, saying very shyly, "I need to use the bathroom."
"Then go..." Xu Lang started to say, but noticing Xu Xiaomeng was squeezed in the middle, he simply woke everyone up.
Soon, everyone was awake.
Only Cao Yaxuan remained curled under the covers, groaning, "...Xu Lang, I want to sleep a bit more. It's finally rest time."
Mornings were the most exhausting for her because Xu Lang always wanted to "freeze for a moment."
"Then keep sleeping." Xu Lang nodded.
After all, Cao Yaxuan didn't have any cultivation skills, so there was no need to rush.
As for whether Cao Yaxuan would slack off or something, that wasn't a concern. Vigilance could be heightened in the final two days.
No one could endure constant high pressure.
After breakfast, Xu Lang, Wang Yazhi, and Tong Qi began their cultivation.
...
In the study, Xu Lang was drenched in sweat, wearing only shorts as he performed exercises similar to weight training.
Push-ups, single-finger push-ups, body stretches, all while coordinating with breathing rhythms.
The Extreme Training Method was a military training technique that could temper the body to its limits.
If one day you practiced the Extreme Training Method and found your physique no longer improving, it meant your potential had been completely exhausted.
Xu Lang was in the early stages of training with plenty of potential. After just two rounds, his physique had increased by one point—the results were significant, but it also completely exhausted him.
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it will first... first my ass!"
Xu Lang collapsed on the floor, mentally broken.
This damn Extreme Training Method—sooner or later he would replace it!
This thing really wasn't meant for humans. It had no effect unless you pushed to your limits, and reaching those limits was unimaginably difficult!
Knock knock!
"Come in."
Tong Qi opened the door and saw Xu Lang looking like a puddle of water.
"Lang Ge, what happened to you?!" Tong Qi was startled and hurried over, her two snowy peaks trembling with her movement.
"Get me some water." Xu Lang said.
Tong Qi quickly grabbed the energy drink from nearby.
After a couple of gulps, Xu Lang finally felt his soul returning.
"Lang Ge, are you okay?" Tong Qi asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it's just that this newly purchased physique cultivation method is quite demanding." Xu Lang shook his head.
If only upgrading the Nightmare Bed could increase sleep duration—getting stronger while lying down would be so much easier.
"I see." Tong Qi patted her chest mountains and said, "Sister Ruyan is back, and she brought back quite a few items."
While Xu Lang was training, Xu Ruyan hadn't been idle either—she had gone alone to sweep the Laboratory Building for supplies.
Xu Lang trusted Xu Ruyan's capabilities; her escape and survival skills might even surpass his own.
The one receiving the supplies from Xu Ruyan was Xu Xiaomeng.
This was the advantage of having more people in the dorm.
After all, Xu Lang would only complain about having too few Pals, never too many.
As for betrayal and scheming, Xu Lang wasn't afraid—the Dorm Owner privileges and Sixth Sense were right there.
Walking out of the study, Xu Lang saw a large pile of supplies in the living room and immediately felt that establishing a storage room was necessary.
He turned his gaze to Xu Ruyan and asked, "Did anyone go to the Laboratory Building?"
"No." Xu Ruyan shook her head.
Tong Qi chuckled, "Hehe, Lang Ge, your reputation is known to all."
Only one day into the rest period, and Xu Lang had already killed fifteen people—who would dare come?
When people saw the Laboratory Building, they probably wanted to stay as far away as possible, afraid that Xu Lang might be hiding inside.
Wasn't that scarier than ghosts?
"Xu Lang, I found a Level Five item this time. I'm afraid the next round won't be simple." Upon seeing Xu Lang, Xu Ruyan immediately shared what she considered the most important information.
For such a high-level item to appear before the end of the rest period was a dangerous signal.
"The game difficulty keeps increasing—that's normal." Xu Lang nodded, then asked, "What did you find?"
Seeing that Xu Lang wasn't very concerned about the game difficulty, Xu Ruyan couldn't help but smile wryly.
To be honest, the game difficulty in the Mad King Dormitory Building was really exaggerated. She felt the previous round's difficulty could rival that of a sixth-cycle game, except the monster levels weren't as high.
"It's this." Xu Ruyan took out a green test tube.
【Sarin Gas】
【Type: Biochemical Agent】
【Level: 5】
【Effect: Colorless and odorless, rapidly evaporates into the air upon use】
【Upgrade Condition: 780 Nightmare Coins】
【Introduction: Can turn an entire corridor into a forbidden zone】
"Interesting." Xu Lang's eyes lit up.
The colorless and odorless characteristic seemed quite promising.
"Can I have this? I'm quite good at using poison." Xu Ruyan requested.
Xu Lang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Sure."
After all, if Xu Ruyan really tried to harm him with a powerful weapon, he could detect it in advance—even dozens of steps ahead.
Malice couldn't be hidden—the deeper the malice, the more piercing it felt.
Moreover, authority needed to be delegated eventually. If he did everything himself, what would be the point of having Pals?
"Thank you, Xu Lang!" Xu Ruyan said sincerely.
To be honest, Xu Lang allowing her to go Floor Sweeping alone had already surprised her, and now he was even giving her such a powerful item.
Used properly, Sarin Gas could be highly effective, especially in enclosed spaces.
She believed Xu Lang wasn't foolish—he could see the risks involved.
"Heh, you worked hard going out. Did you encounter any danger?" Xu Lang smiled.
Xu Ruyan shook her head, "No, but there's one thing I think you should know."
This immediately caught the attention of all the women.
Cao Yaxuan, who was slurping instant noodles, instantly looked up with bright eyes.
"Wu Huihui found a Jack of Clubs card that can transfer dormitories!" Xu Ruyan took a light breath and said seriously.
"Transfer dormitories!?"
Instantly, everyone's attention focused on this, and even Wang Yazhi stopped her cultivation.
