【Basic Nightmare Coins 120, conversion rate 1010%, eight-hour total production 1332 Nightmare Coins】

This time at the supermarket, Xu Lang practically bought out all the most expensive clothing.
Tong Qi's Comfort Level rose to 147 points, Cao Yaxuan's to 144 points, Xu Ruyan's to 138 points, Wang Yazhi's to 134 points, Sherry's to 131 points, and Xu Xiaomeng's to 128 points.
It seems that charm also has diminishing returns. The level-eight clothing provided a huge boost to Xu Xiaomeng and the others, but gave a relatively smaller bonus to Tong Qi and the rest who already had very high Comfort Levels.
As for the newcomer Zhen Lu, her Comfort Level shot straight up from 95 points to 128 points, matching Xu Xiaomeng's.
With further development later, it might increase a bit more!
Zhen Lu was a newcomer, yet Xu Lang acted a bit heartless. After waking up, he went straight to the study. As usual, after catching up on the True Ancestor's diary, he started reading miscellaneous books.
Now that he didn't need to cultivate, he could only kill time with these.
Books in the Dorm Survival Game sometimes fetch sky-high prices, but most of the time they are very cheap. Cao Yaxuan and Sherry are also quite enthusiastic about collecting them, so there are many books in the study.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Lang heard the sounds of cooking coming from outside and left the study.
Glancing towards the kitchen, Xu Lang said to Tong Qi, who was meditating cross-legged on the sofa, "I'm going to sleep a bit more. You guys eat, no need to wake me up."
"Okay!" Tong Qi nodded.
Xu Lang walked towards the Nightmare Bed, but his steps suddenly paused. He asked, "How is Senior Sister Red Butterfly's condition now? How long until she has a physical form?"
Before Tong Qi could speak, Senior Sister Red Butterfly flew out from the Ghost Control Bells at the former's waist, her eyes shining as she said, "Feed me Ghost Qi, I can recover faster!"
Senior Sister Red Butterfly was only focused on her happiness and didn't notice the gleam in Xu Lang's eyes.
Once she has a physical form, Senior Sister Red Butterfly should have a Comfort Level too, right?
Senior Sister Red Butterfly's looks are undeniably top-notch, somewhat resembling Fuyu, giving off that untouchable, high-altitude flower vibe. Her phoenix eyes curve inward and tilt outward, exuding a bewitching charm within their eerie aura.
"Tong Qi, from now on, give Senior Sister Red Butterfly a share of any soul-type items we purchase too," Xu Lang said.
Hearing this, Tong Qi happily agreed.
The growth of her ghost pets is her own growth.
Actually, she has always wanted to cultivate a systematic team of ghost pets, nurturing and upgrading them within the Ghost Control Bells, rather than just using whichever one has the highest level like now.
Zhen Lu was sleeping in a daze, her pure and delicate face tinged with a faint blush.
Not long ago, she had experienced a life-and-death situation. After entering the Dorm Survival Game, she experienced another one!
"It's fine, it's just like getting a shot!"
That's what Cao Yaxuan had said to her at the time.
This "shot" nearly knocked her out cold!
She's officially scared of needles now.
Just then, Zhen Lu sensed rustling movements. She glanced sideways and saw it was Xu Lang. Jolting awake, she slid straight from the head of the bed to the foot of it.
Now you can't do anything to me, can you?
Xu Lang originally hadn't had any ideas; he just wanted to come over, scare Zhen Lu away, and then upgrade the Nightmare Bed.
However, at this moment, looking at the pristine white jade-like feet right before his eyes, he fell into deep thought.
Are you doing this on purpose or by accident?
"..."
As soon as Zhen Lu got off the bed, she dashed towards the bathroom like a startled fawn. Midway, her foot slipped, and she almost fell.
Xu Lang pretended to rest with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was upgrading the Nightmare Bed.
The Luxurious Nightmare Bed rapidly transformed, becoming larger in dimension, even more luxurious and plush, exuding an air of nobility.

【Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve (Locked)】
"Hmm? These options are interesting, they don't start from one, two, three..."
"When in doubt, pick the longest one."
"And, the later something appears, the more powerful it should be, right?"
Xu Lang didn't overthink it and chose Epitaph.

【Introduction: Nightmare Lord, death and rebirth!】
"Holy crap?! Did I just draw a get-out-of-death-free card?!"
Xu Lang's eyes snapped open, filled with shock and delight.
This is true resurrection of the dead, and a collective one at that!
This freely customizable resurrection time is also super broken!
Xu Lang thought it over and wrote down a rule for the Epitaph: resurrect after seven days.
Generally, one cycle of the Dorm Survival Game is seven days.
If Dorm 200 were to be wiped out one day, then there would be no point in playing this game cycle!
The dramatic act of using the resurrection authority on the spot to fight back is better left to warriors with rewind abilities!
"The fusion opportunities actually increased by one. So, as the Nightmare Bed upgrades, will the number of Epitaph resurrections also increase?!"
Xu Lang's smile turned somewhat wicked.
"Xu Lang, the big bed upgraded again, huh." Cao Yaxuan trotted over, holding a bowl of wontons.
"Yeah, the cleaning power is stronger. Want to give it a try?" Xu Lang suppressed his smile and asked, glancing sideways.
"No way!" Cao Yaxuan snorted, then scooped up a wonton with a spoon and fed it to Xu Lang. "These wontons are delicious, pure level-six deliciousness bonus wontons!"
Xu Lang took a bite. It was so fresh it felt like his eyebrows were about to fall off. He took the bowl and drank down the soup and wontons in one go, not even afraid of the heat.
"Alright, don't disturb my sleep." Xu Lang let out a satisfied burp and lay back down on the bed.
"Lost my beloved, all is in ruins!" Cao Yaxuan looked at the empty large porcelain bowl, on the verge of tears.
Cao Yaxuan slunk away, feeling indignant, deciding she would never disturb Xu Lang's sleep again.
