"Hehe, just Little Tong's regular operation." Xu Lang chuckled lightly.

Tong Qi immediately felt a wave of embarrassment.

Looking at the surrounding players, Xu Lang suddenly felt inspired, remembering Zhang Dahai's carefree demeanor. He said, "I'm in a good mood today, I'll just give all these one hundred thousand Copper Coins to you all."

As he spoke, he extracted one hundred thousand Copper Coins and scattered them in all directions!

In an instant, it was like flowers scattering from a heavenly maiden. The players went crazy, charging towards these Copper Coins.

The Copper Coins Xu Lang threw out, some were stacks of one hundred coins, some were stacks of one thousand coins.

This was a characteristic of the dormitory game's Copper Coins; multiple coins could be stacked together.

All the players went to grab the Copper Coins. Seeing that Zhang Dahai didn't go, Xu Lang asked, "Dahai, do you still have something?"

"Mhm!" Zhang Dahai nodded, extending an invitation: "Lang Ge, can we get together later?"

Xu Lang replied, "Sure."

Zhang Dahai was immediately overjoyed.

Lang Ge really trusts me!

Does this mean I've made it into Lang Ge's inner circle?

Next, Xu Lang and his group went to browse the supermarket.

This time, the supermarket refresh didn't have any over-the-top items.

The highest level item was level eight, so Xu Lang bought the most expensive and also the most cost-effective skills and equipment.

Besides that, this time, more than ten Cultivation Techniques appeared unprecedentedly. Xu Lang bought all the Cultivation Techniques that Xu Ruyan and the others had their eyes on in one go.

The cultivation skills for Xu Ruyan and the others all increased basic attributes. Only Xu Xiaomeng's "Telekinesis Cultivation Method" was somewhat special, similar to the Green Lotus Qi Cultivation Technique, boosting energy beyond numerical values.

Of course, Xu Lang also bought a cultivation method that increased numerical values for Xu Xiaomeng.

The reason was none other than having money, being extravagant!

Actually, ordinary players generally don't consider Cultivation Techniques much. It's not that they're short-sighted, but they can only consider the immediate present.

Ordinary players are busy almost all day long. How could they stay at home every day like Xu Lang and his group?

After buying the skills, everyone went to buy equipment.

The previous Frost Ghost set, after one round of the game, was already looking a bit inadequate.

Tong Qi and the others picked and chose, all upgrading their gear. At the same time, they spent nearly a small million Copper Coins.

"With more people, raising them is expensive too... Actually, the Frost Ghost set could barely be used... But then again, money sitting around is just sitting around. Just keep enough for the facilities each round."

Xu Lang thought with a rather pained heart.

He didn't know if the dormitory building would issue exclusive items in the future. If all skills and equipment were exclusive, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Next, Xu Lang and his group went to the facilities area, but they just looked around and didn't rashly make purchases.

This facility fusion thing needed careful consideration. Blindly fusing things randomly could easily lead to brain overload, wasting fusion opportunities for nothing.

After getting a clear idea in his mind, Xu Lang went to the lifestyle section!

Buy, buy, buy!!!

And buy only the best and most expensive!

Xu Lang and his group directly took over the fitting rooms.

If he wasn't afraid of making noise, Xu Lang really wanted to try the Comfort Level boost effect on the spot.

After purchasing the clothing, the Copper Coins took another big hit.

"The surplus from upgrading the Nightmare Bed should be enough to upgrade the Zombie Summoning Card again."

"Once Luo Lin's money-printing machine starts running, the economic pressure won't be this big."

As the head of the household, Xu Lang's pressure was immense.

After leaving the supermarket, the seven of them weren't in a hurry to go home. Instead, they went to the Laboratory Building. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Before, upgrading the dormitory had a time limit. Now, it doesn't. If you could hold back, you could even accumulate two chances and use them together.

So, Xu Lang and the others' time also became more leisurely.

...

After Xu Lang and the seven of them swept through the Laboratory Building and returned home, Cao Yaxuan urged Xu Lang to upgrade the dormitory.

The advanced apartment was only a bit over a hundred square meters. Living with seven people was a bit cramped.

"Okay, let's upgrade now." Xu Lang snapped back from his private messages and nodded repeatedly.

He had just been looking to see which girls wanted to move into Dorm 200.

The pretty girls in the dormitory building were all eagerly waiting, among them even some who had boyfriends or husbands.

When Cao Yaxuan and the others walked out of the supermarket wearing high-end clothing, they were like phoenixes. Other women were so jealous they could burn through their skulls.

This dormitory upgrade didn't offer many options; it just upgraded directly.

[Advanced apartment upgraded to Luxury Apartment. Total area expanded to two hundred square meters. Tenant count +1. Turret placement slots +2]

[New facilities added: Luxury ceiling, Ventilation system, Natural temperature regulation system, Enclosed luxury sofa, Balcony, Independent shower room, Independent toilet room, Bathroom vanity, Coffee table, Shadow wood cabinets, Calacatta white marble slab]

Dorm 200 underwent a massive transformation. All the walls were replaced with Calacatta white marble slabs, refreshing, clean, and luxurious.

Cao Yaxuan and the others were overjoyed, rushing around to check out every area.

This time, the dormitory building was generous for once. The bathroom vanity had self-cleaning bathrobes and slippers. Although the level wasn't high, they were free after all.

Besides that, there were also small items like carpets, wall lamps, small sofas, and chairs.

Xu Lang was a bit disappointed. The luxury dormitory didn't add an extra tenant but increased the number of Turret placement slots.

But after all, upgrading the dormitory was a good thing. He didn't pull a long face. After walking around with Cao Yaxuan and the others, he started selecting Core Facilities.

The reason for selecting so early was to see if he could find another economical Core Facility.

In the end, there was neither a gold-silver mine nor a generator.

Helpless, Xu Lang finally chose a standard, middle-of-the-road Air Conditioner.

In the future, if they encountered environment-based games again, Dorm 200 could handle them more calmly. Moreover, once the Air Conditioner's level was high, it could be used to freeze monsters outside the door.

"Xu Lang, give me money quickly!!!" Cao Yaxuan suddenly started shouting excitedly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Lang asked.

"A functional card has appeared on the Trading Network! It's the Queen of Clubs! It's being auctioned right now!" Cao Yaxuan said urgently.

Hearing this, Xu Lang's pupils contracted. He quickly opened the Trading Network and found the hottest item.

[Queen of Clubs]

[Type: Item]

[Level: Unknown]

[Effect: Summon a relative or friend from the original world]

[Description: Through life and death, our bond runs deep into the soul]

"Is that all?!" Xu Lang was greatly disappointed.

"Xu Lang, please, buy it for me!" Cao Yaxuan looked at Xu Lang, her big eyes watery, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xu Ruyan and the others, then said to Cao Yaxuan, "You want to use the Queen of Clubs?"

"Mhm! If my parents really come, I'll let them live with Sister Lin and the others!" Cao Yaxuan replied.

Xu Lang frowned. "Have you thought it through? This is the Mad King building, not a tourist area. Your parents might die in the next round of the game!"

The thoughts that had just risen in Xu Ruyan and the other women were immediately extinguished.

Cao Yaxuan was speechless. She opened her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xu Lang suddenly smiled. "Since they're all family, then it's fine to die together. The whole family reunited, quite nice."

"Pah, pah, pah! What are you saying, Xu Lang!" Cao Yaxuan hurriedly covered Xu Lang's mouth.

An hour later, the Queen of Clubs was bought by Xu Lang at the highest price.

Everyone's level of longing for their family is different. Xu Lang used to watch survival shows where people often gave up the competition because they missed their families.

Although Xu Lang couldn't understand it, he respected it.

Anyway, if something really happened, it wouldn't be his relatives dying.

"Anyway, those two old folks don't have many good years left. If they come, they come!" Cao Yaxuan held the Queen of Clubs, hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and used it.

The Queen of Clubs transformed into a hazy, shimmering light. A human figure appeared within it, then with a *plop*, fell to the ground.

"Xiao Lu, why is it you?!" Cao Yaxuan looked at the silver-haired woman lying on the ground, greatly shocked.

The silver-haired woman had landed face-first. She was covered in blood. Her injuries looked like they were caused by sharp blades, densely packed wounds that looked somewhat terrifying!
