Luo Lin left.

Neither Tong Qi, Cao Yaxuan, nor the other girls noticed anything, only Xu Ruyan detected a trace of a subtle atmosphere.

After all, she was much older and knew all too well how broad a man's tastes could be.

Speaking of which, this round of the game couldn't just be stalled; the dorm should be welcoming a new member soon, right?

Regarding newcomers, Xu Ruyan actually had no objections. On the contrary, she thought having another helper was a good thing.

If that person were Luo Lin, she wouldn't mind either; at least it was someone familiar.

From beginning to end, she never harbored the notion of monopolizing Xu Lang. That was far too unrealistic.

All ten BOSSes emerged around 5 AM, and now it was just past 7 AM, leaving just enough time to take stock of the supplies.

Before that, Xu Lang turned on the radio.

There weren't many people online today, just Hundred Ton King, Heavy Armor Maniac, and Midnight Fierce Zero.

Even though the main host, Rainy Night Blade, wasn't there, Xu Lang, operating on the principle of 'you never know unless you try,' still shared the events of this round.

Hundred Ton King: "666, boss, you're amazing! You actually tied up the BOSS!"

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Your move is something else. The people in your dorm building really cooperate with you. Trying that in our dorm building would definitely not fly."

"What do you think? Is this feasible? Can we stall the game here?" Xu Lang's voice carried a heavy tone.

This matter was very important; he hoped to get some answers.

Heavy Armor Maniac's rough and unrestrained voice immediately chimed in: "Are you saying that by farming gold in a mobile game, you could bankrupt Tencent?"

Xu Lang's mouth twitched.

This Heavy Armor Maniac really didn't hold back when speaking!

However, his reputation within the Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society wasn't bad.

The reason was, although his words were blunt, he was a reliable person who didn't beat around the bush.

Heavy Armor Maniac: "The dorm building's anti-virus system will definitely activate. It's just a matter of when."

Midnight Fierce Zero: "I think so too."

Hundred Ton King: "I disagree. Didn't you all say that anything can happen in the Dorm Survival Game? What if Zero Number actually succeeds?"

This time, Heavy Armor Maniac didn't mock him but fell silent instead. After a moment, he said, "That's also possible... a one-in-ten-thousand chance!"

...

After exiting the radio, Xu Lang began taking stock of the supplies.

The items dropped by the Jester King and the others were quite good, but Xu Lang was no longer the inexperienced rookie he once was. Only a handful of things caught his eye.

After all, Xu Lang and the others' power systems were already established; they would only take items within their personal systems.

Some items looked powerful, but they didn't even have much value for fusion.

Since fusion attempts were limited, Xu Lang didn't want to waste them carelessly.

[Fear Incarnation (Passive Skill)]

[Type: Skill Scroll]

[Level: 8]

[Upgrade Condition: 3800 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: An aura-type skill that can instill fear in the weak-willed.]

This item dropped from the Fear Strawman. Xu Lang planned to fuse it with Crimson Fierce Gaze.

...

[Pharaoh's Slumber (Active Skill)]

[Type: Skill Scroll]

[Level: 8]

[Upgrade Condition: 4500 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: Actively enter a deep slumber, boosting spirit attribute and repairing the body.]

This was a cultivation skill. Xu Lang wanted to see if it could be fused with the Taiyi Golden Flower Secret Record.

...

[Mad Flame (Active Skill)]

[Type: Skill Scroll]

[Level: 9]

[Upgrade Condition: 8000 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: Once Mad Flame is ignited, it cannot be extinguished!]

A fire-element skill. Xu Lang definitely wanted to keep this one, as he had already collected a whole bunch of fire-element skills.

...

[Pumpkin Head]

[Type: Equipment]

[Level: 8]

[Durability: 1/1]

[Effect 1 (Explosion): When durability drops to 0, causes a large explosion dealing blast damage within a ten-meter radius.]

[Effect 2 (Indestructible): Damage below 500 is immunized.]

[Decomposition yields: Pumpkin Head Jack's Essence X1, Paranormal Pumpkin Fragment X5]

[Upgrade Condition: 4200 Nightmare Coins]

The Indestructible effect was extremely top-tier. If it could be fused with equipment, it could directly forge a divine artifact!

...

After taking stock of the supplies, it was time for the point-grinding session!

Every time after grinding points, Xu Ruyan would feel a bit tired.

But this time, she felt a sense of not having had enough.

Looking at the man's profile, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly, and images of Xu Lang's heroic demeanor today flashed in her mind.

This man was really handsome!

Sleep was definitely out of the question. There was still a Glutton in the study; she had to keep an eye on it.

She wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep. Apart from the thick-skinned Sherry and the calm-minded Wang Yazhi, the other girls were all awake.

The girls soon started chatting in private messages and eventually created a small group chat.

[Cao Yaxuan: Ruyan, you were so hot just now!]

Cao Yaxuan came out swinging right from the start, expressing her thoughts directly.

[Xu Ruyan: Want to learn?]

[Tong Qi: Um... Little Meng is still in the group.]

Xu Xiaomeng didn't make a sound.

Actually, she felt her sister's moves earlier were quite nice to look at, and Xu Lang seemed to like them a lot.

She kind of wanted to learn!

[Xu Ruyan: Since it's already like that, no need to be shy, right, Little Meng?]

[Xu Xiaomeng: Mm-hmm!]

[Cao Yaxuan: Tsk tsk, even pure Little Meng has been tainted by the dark mud!]

[Xu Ruyan: As if you're clean...]

The girls chatted and chatted, the conversation getting wilder, and they only slept halfway through the night.

...

[Base Nightmare Coins 120, Conversion Rate 782%, 8-hour production output 1058 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 1487]

After waking up, Xu Lang glanced at the point-grinding harvest and hurriedly got out of bed.

His stomach was growling incessantly!

If it weren't for the Nightmare Bed's sleep-inducing effect, he would have woken up from hunger midway.

At this moment, Xu Lang felt he could eat an entire cow.

Xu Lang picked up items with high satiety and started devouring them. He ate over five thousand Copper Coins worth of supplies before finally stopping.

Tossing away the empty soda bottle, Xu Lang let out a satisfied burp and began checking the chat room and private messages.

Everything was proceeding normally; no unexpected situations had arisen.

If there was anything to mention, it was that some people had fought over food.

"Really brings back memories," Xu Lang sighed, thinking of the first round of the game when he lured Tong Qi upstairs with just a bit of bread crust.

Food and water would always be humanity's most important survival supplies, followed by warmth and medical items.

Not long after, Xu Ruyan and the others woke up one by one.

The first thing the girls did upon waking was also to start eating.

As time passed, Xu Lang lay back down on the Nightmare Bed once more.

Fusion time~

...

There was no rush to increase combat power right now. It was better to use fusion opportunities on things that could snowball.

The characteristics of Pharaoh's Slumber were far inferior to the Taiyi Golden Flower Secret Record, but its level was high enough.

"I hope I don't get scammed... Nightmare Sequence, I'm really counting on you!"

Xu Lang didn't pray to any gods or buddhas.

The Nightmare Sequence was his real, reliable power!

The Taiyi Golden Flower Secret Record and Pharaoh's Slumber were extracted from the skill slots and then converged together!

After a few moments, a shiny new skill appeared, making Xu Lang beam with joy.
