"Many cities in our country have been submerged by the blood mist, with the survival rate of the populace being less than one percent," Zhen Lu sighed.

Xu Lang took a sip of coffee, fell silent for a moment, then said to Cao Yaxuan and the others:

"Don't worry too much. As long as we survive well, we will uncover the truth of the Blood Mist World one day."

"Later on, the dormitory building definitely won't lack items that can resurrect people."

"So, even if your family members really died, it doesn't matter."

"Although we don't know who our opponent is, if we want to keep winning, we must stay at the table!"

Xu Lang wasn't very good at comforting people. That line "even if your family died, it doesn't matter" felt very cold, chillingly realistic.

Cao Yaxuan and the others all fell silent.

"Lang Ge is right! As long as we survive, there is hope!" Tong Qi suddenly clenched her fist, cheering herself up.

"Mhm!" Cao Yaxuan took a deep breath, trying her best not to think about her parents.

"Don't worry about your father and the others. Maybe their situation is even better than ours, after all, we are inside the secret realm," Zhen Lu comforted.

She still didn't have much concept of the dormitory building.

Xu Lang said to Cao Yaxuan, "Yaxuan, take Zhen Lu to take a bath, and by the way, tell her about the Dorm Survival Game."

"Okay!"

...

Cao Yaxuan and Zhen Lu went to bathe, while Xu Lang and Tong Qi came outside the dorm room to bind the River Mouth Child.

After the binding was complete, a shrine pedestal automatically appeared beneath the River Mouth Child's feet. He stood on one side of the Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door, with the Ghost Child on the other side.

At the same time, his eyes also opened, curiously observing this world. His gaze paused on the magnificent Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door, then looked at the Ghost Child, and finally settled on Xu Lang. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then closed his eyes again, as if meditating and cultivating.

Guardian Spirits all have upgrade paths.

And the River Mouth Child's upgrade path seems to be meditation and absorbing offerings.

In other words, the River Mouth Child can level up automatically!

A mythical-grade Guardian Spirit is truly extraordinary!

The Ghost Child was very curious about the new colleague. Seeing the other close his eyes, it couldn't help but stomp its foot in annoyance.

Seeing this, Xu Lang chuckled softly, took out a soul item, and fed the Ghost Child. Then, he inserted three sticks of incense into the River Mouth Child's shrine.

The arrival of a new resident also brought some miscellaneous new items. These two items were what he bought on the Trading Network.

The River Mouth Child opened his eyelids, gave Xu Lang a very serene nod, then closed his eyes again.

"He's quite polite, huh," Tong Qi laughed.

After saying this, she saw the Ghost Child nodding repeatedly at her and couldn't help but giggle.

Right at that moment, the door next to them opened, and Luo Lin and her daughter peeked out.

"Xu Lang, would you like to come to my place for a bit?" Luo Lin smoothed her hair and then said, "My dorm has been upgraded."

...

Dorm 199 was called the Biochemical Dorm, equipped with a small laboratory inside.

The upgrade options and rewards provided by the dormitory building weren't completely random; they changed based on certain real-world factors.

This dorm was perfectly suited for Luo Lin.

Luo Lin showed Xu Lang around and said, "With this laboratory, the possibility of me mass-producing Evolution Serums is even greater. Even without zombie gene samples, I'm confident I can develop an Evolution Serum."

"So, you want to cut ties with me?" Xu Lang asked.

"No, no, no!" Luo Lin was startled. Xu Lang was a golden thigh you couldn't just hug whenever you wanted. How could she possibly sever the connection? She quickly waved her hands, saying, "It's just that this dorm consumes too much money. I want some Copper Coins."

Xu Lang understood. "So, you want me to invest in you?"

"Mhm!" Luo Lin nodded.

Xu Lang shook his head. "I won't invest in you."

Luo Lin was surprised. Xu Lang wasn't someone so short-sighted.

"We are already one entity, one team!" Xu Lang laughed.

Luo Lin: "..."

So, you're just spending money on your own assets, huh?

Well, being completely taken advantage of is fine too.

This way, the connection with Xu Lang is even tighter, and the level of protection is stronger.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you from now on," Luo Lin smoothed her hair again.

Xu Lang's gaze swept over Luo Lin's cool, elegant face and evasive eyes, finally landing inconspicuously on her fair collarbone.

When a woman pays extra attention to her appearance and grooming while interacting with you...

Xu Lang shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind, and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes." A smile appeared on Luo Lin's face. "I've already deciphered some of the secrets of the Glutton's cells. Later, I might be able to create zombies with related characteristics."

Xu Lang said in surprise, "Your dorm can also produce troops?"

Luo Lin blinked, taking several seconds to understand what 'produce troops' meant.

After all, she was an older auntie, not too familiar with these terms.

"More or less. I want to create a zombie army to guard the dorm," Luo Lin nodded. "It's just that corpse-type items are too scarce. We might need to focus on collecting them later."

"Okay, I'll help you collect them," Xu Lang smiled.

Luo Lin immediately smiled too and even asked Xu Lang and the other if they wanted to stay for dinner.

Xu Lang politely declined directly. There were still people at home.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to buy a pack of snacks for Tao Tao on the Trading Network.

Things like favorability still need to be nurtured!

"Thank you, Uncle!" Tao Tao's voice was very sweet.

...

When Xu Lang and Tong Qi returned to Dorm 200, they didn't see Cao Yaxuan and Zhen Lu.

"Are they still bathing?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xu Xiaomeng shook her head. "They're in the secondary bedroom."

Xu Lang walked towards the secondary bedroom.

Xu Ruyan stopped her Meditation, Wang Yazhi also stopped practicing her sword...

The girls looked at each other, their gazes colliding as if sparks could fly. They quickly huddled together, whispering and murmuring.

"What do you think, is Lang Ge also going to make Zhen Lu become our tenant?" Tong Qi said with a thoughtful expression, the flames of gossip burning fiercely in her heart.

"Very likely!" Xu Ruyan's eyes flickered.

"I think it's definite," Xu Xiaomeng joined the conversation. "It's just that I feel Sister Zhen Lu is a bit wary. It might not succeed, and there might even be conflict!"

Sherry stroked her chin. "Forcing it, I think, isn't good. It's not conducive to our unity."

What if a mole slipped into the team? That would be a huge problem.

A betrayal at a critical moment, no one could withstand that.

"I don't think that will happen. Can't Lang Ge handle a mere Druid?" Tong Qi was inexplicably confident.

Anyway, she had great faith in Xu Lang's methods.

All the favorable conditions were in place! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

'Timing' referred to the Dorm Survival Game, 'geographical advantage' referred to Zhen Lu being in Dorm 200, and 'human harmony' referred to Cao Yaxuan!

Tong Qi believed Cao Yaxuan would cooperate with Xu Lang.

Cao Yaxuan knew how difficult it was to survive in the Mad King building. Not wanting her close friend to ascend to heaven in the next round, she would definitely try to persuade her!

Hearing this, the other girls all felt it made sense.

Xu Lang was exceptionally fast, accurate, and ruthless in this regard, almost always succeeding immediately.

This was also unavoidable. Who told it concerned Nightmare Coins.
