[Dormitory Broadcast: The fourth game cycle of the Mad King Dormitory Building officially begins!] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

[This round's game is titled "Happy Halloween," and the duration of this game is indefinite!]

[This round will feature ten classic ghost and monster archetypes as unique BOSSes for each floor, applying interesting special BUFFs to the entire building!]

[To ensure the personal safety of the players and the quality of players on each floor, players cannot travel to other floors before defeating their floor's BOSS. Similarly, a BOSS cannot travel to other floors before killing all players on its own floor!]

[Hint: Each BOSS has its own weakness. Find the weakness and defeat them, otherwise the game will continue indefinitely... Enduring suffering is simple, but change is undoubtedly more profound!]

As soon as the dormitory broadcast finished, all the players were shaken, and the chat room instantly boiled over.

[174 Zhou Daxiong: Good heavens, it's another ten-BOSS round! What heinous crime did I commit?!]

[66 Ma Yu: This is a bit abstract. We have to find the weakness to defeat the BOSS. Does that mean these ten monsters are all Mechanic Monsters?]

[159 Zheng Kai: Damn it, why restrict floor travel? Are you purely trying to nerf me?!]

[88 Cao Bin: @Zheng Kai, not being able to leech points is truly painful!]

[49 Zhu Yan: Just as we predicted, this time it's a Halloween theme!]

[33 Zhang Dahai: Folks, well, this is good. Lang Ge won't be stealing your monsters anymore. Be happy!]

At this moment, Zhang Dahai's mood was the most complicated.

Before the game started, he had been squatting outside. Then, when midnight struck, he was forcibly teleported back to his dorm.

In this round, all players must remain on their assigned floor to play the game until the BOSS is dead!

No more roaming the wilds.

"Big Brother Dahai, we can finally fight side by side!" Ye Fan said, his face beaming with excitement.

"Xiaofan, we've always been fighting side by side!" Zhang Dahai looked at Ye Fan with a solemn expression.

"Big Brother Dahai..." Ye Fan was instantly moved to tears.

...

"Damn it, Sister Yun, this time it's up to us on the ninth floor alone." In Dorm 179, a male tenant cursed loudly. "This stupid dorm building, what's with the no-floor-traveling nonsense!"

Yun Yun said with a grim expression, "The Mad King Building must have noticed something and is deliberately controlling variables."

Another female player nodded. "Xu Lang's playstyle was bound to be targeted. The dorm building doesn't have true sentience, but it does have a set of anti-virus and adjustment mechanisms."

"Why do you all think the dorm building is targeting Xu Lang? I think this is just an accident," another middle-aged player shrugged. "If floor travel is banned, with the strength of Xu Lang's dorm, he'd KO the BOSS monster in three minutes!"

"Don't forget, this round's BOSSes are Mechanic Monsters. They're not ordinary!"

"That's true too!"

...

"Damn it, why nerf us!" In Dorm 200, Cao Yaxuan gritted her teeth, waving a small fist.

"This is fine too. Clearing floor by floor is the same," Wang Yazhi, who never spoke discouraging words, said with a light laugh.

"Sister Yazhi makes a good point," Tong Qi said with a light chuckle.

Having experienced so many battles, Tong Qi and the others had long since built up their confidence.

"Xu Lang, what do you think?" Xu Ruyan looked at Xu Lang, who wore a pensive expression.

"What do you think... can we exploit a bug?" Xu Lang raised his head, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented sharp light. "What if we intentionally leave one BOSS alive? Would this round of the game continue indefinitely?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Xu Lang, you're truly a genius!" Cao Yaxuan praised excitedly.

"We can give it a try!" Wang Yazhi laughed.

Although she felt the chance of success was low, what if it worked?

If they could really capture a BOSS and imprison it, the Mad King Dormitory Building's game could be directly terminated!

"Perhaps the Mad King Dormitory Building will end its sinful existence during this very round," Cao Yaxuan said with a smile.

Compared to the last round, everyone was much more relaxed this time.

Of course, this was also because the monsters hadn't appeared yet. That is, until a certain moment when collective feedback came from the first-floor players.

Monsters had appeared on the first floor!

From the corridors emerged group after group of ghouls!

These were a bunch of Level Five monsters, with the elite ones being Level Six!

Besides them, a Level-Eight BOSS was also prowling the corridors!

It was an absurdly fat and bloated monster, resembling a giant hamster, its mouth taking up two-thirds of its head.

[Glutton]

[Type: Monster]

[Level: 8]

[Skills: Starving Corpse, Devour, Insatiable, Abyssal Maw]

[Introduction: My stomach is empty!]

Just as the monsters swarmed the first floor, the dormitory broadcast sounded again.

[Dormitory Broadcast—]

[First-floor BOSS, Glutton, sends its blessings]

[Glutton's Blessing: All players' hunger rate increases by 100%]

[Warning 1: The blessing will persist until Glutton is slain]

[Warning 2: Glutton will not harm players when its attack mechanism is not triggered]

...

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes. With the Inner Light skill active, he could very clearly perceive his hunger rate accelerating.

*Gurgle~*

Tong Qi's stomach growled, and her face instantly turned red.

Cao Yaxuan also felt hunger pangs and exclaimed in shock, "Is this BUFF that perverse? We just finished eating not long ago!"

"If we don't kill that monster quickly, our dorm will soon face food shortages," Wang Yazhi pointed out incisively.

"But now, only the first-floor players can rely on themselves!" Xu Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "Someone just tried. There are invisible walls blocking the outer corridors and stairwells!"

After some thought, the group came to an even more terrifying realization.

What if the first-floor players aren't wiped out by the monsters, and other players can't help them? Wouldn't everyone else starve along with the first-floor players?

If there's a dorm on the first floor with strong defensive capabilities and happens to have a lot of food stored, then all players would be dragged down!

At this moment, the women deeply realized one problem.

That is, the Dorm Survival Game has very diverse gameplay. It's not purely a tower defense game. Unless your facility levels are truly extraordinary, it's almost impossible to rely solely on Turrets and doors to survive each game cycle unscathed!

Personal strength, team coordination, and facility levels are all extremely important. To avoid being targeted, you need to be strong in all aspects!

And this is precisely the path Xu Lang has been walking.

"What do we do now? It seems the tenth-floor monsters haven't even appeared yet," Cao Yaxuan asked.

"Wait!" Xu Lang said firmly.

Just then, Xu Xiaomeng spoke up. "Lang Ge, Kui Zi is asking for help in the chat room and tagged you!"

A flash of light passed through Xu Lang's eyes as he immediately opened the chat room.

Kui Zi was the newly promoted female Dorm Owner on the first floor, rumored to have been the CEO of a listed company before, a truly remarkable person.

[10 Kui Zi: @Xu Lang @Wu Huihui @Yun Yun @...]

[10 Kui Zi: In this game, monsters are distributed to each floor in batches. Hand over your resources to us. We'll pool resources to kill the Glutton first. We can help you on other floors later once floor travel is possible!]
