Fuse!

Xu Lang saw that the Electromagnetic Rail Crossbow also had mixed-damage effects, and without hesitation he chose to fuse it.

After the Nightmare Bed upgrade, facilities were reduced to two categories: core facilities and ordinary facilities.

And as long as a facility is a finished product, even if it’s not installed, it can be used as a core facility to fuse with an already installed facility. That core facility will then directly replace the installed one.

This made things much more convenient.

If one day a single facility no longer suits the current game, Xu Lang could just swap it out!

"Phew, it actually worked."

Xu Lang exhaled a private sigh of relief.

If this fusion had produced unsatisfactory results, it would have wasted a fusion opportunity.

Next came the second fusion.

[Description: The sun has fallen!]

[Congratulations Nightmare Lord, the Thousand Jun Dragon-Hunting Crossbow and Sun-Slaying Meteor Crossbow compatibility is "Perfect", attributes greatly increased, and a brand-new effect gained!]

[Fuse? If you refuse, the Thousand Jun Dragon-Hunting Crossbow will become 3 Nightmare Essence, sinking into a pleasant dream...]

"Holy crap, it came out perfect!"

Xu Lang’s eyes widened.

Normally, turrets below level ten would never exceed a thousand in lethality; heavy turrets like the Sun-Slaying Meteor Crossbow and the Thousand Jun Dragon-Hunting Crossbow were exceptions!

But even as exceptions, they shouldn’t be this much higher!

Three thousand lethality!

That’s way stronger than ten hits of three hundred lethality. For many monsters with unbreakable defenses, high lethality can directly break defenses, while repeated minor damage only tickles!

It’s like the difference between punching someone in the chest and punching someone into their chest cavity!

"They’re both crossbows, and both are heavy turrets, so the compatibility should be this high!"

Xu Lang could barely contain his joy.

The Sun-Slaying Meteor Crossbow wasn’t something that spawned in the supply market; an experienced player had sold it.

Players rarely sold finished turrets, and the reason this level-eight turret was for sale was that the veteran player already had another heavy turret.

...

Dorm 200, Tong Qi opened her eyes, finishing her cultivation.

She exhaled lightly, causing a slight tremor that made her tall form seem like rolling mountain ridges—a beautiful ebb and flow.

At that moment, she happened to glance at the turret on the wall. Her gaze froze, then she hurried over and discovered it had indeed changed. She couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, looking toward the bed where Xu Lang lay.

"Did the Golden Eagle Wing Crossbow upgrade?"

"But wasn’t Lang Ge sleeping?"

"Could the item upgrade effect not be one of Lang Ge’s skills, but a hidden characteristic of Dorm 200?"

Tong Qi’s thoughts surged, imagination running wild.

Suddenly, the Thousand Jun Dragon-Hunting Crossbow’s appearance changed too!

It changed right before her eyes!

What’s going on—did the dorm get haunted?

Tong Qi panicked a little at this, thought it over, and decided to wake Xu Lang.

As she reached the bedside, Xu Lang also happened to open his eyes. Their slightly anxious gazes met: "What’s up?"

"Lang Ge, both turrets at home changed!" Tong Qi said nervously.

Without Xu Lang opening permissions, she couldn’t check the facility attributes, so she had no idea whether the changes were good or bad.

"That’s a good thing." Xu Lang smiled.

Seeing that smile, Tong Qi immediately knew Xu Lang had done it. She lightly patted him and, rarely scolding, exclaimed: "You scared me to death, I thought the dorm had ghosts."

"Ghosts? Are you talking about me?"

Accompanied by a coquettish laugh, Senior Sister Red Butterfly flew out from the Ghost Control Bells.

"Red Butterfly, your ghost form seems more solid now." Xu Lang’s first concern was always comfort level; he had to pay attention!

Senior Sister Red Butterfly’s dress pattern looked clearer, less ethereal than before, and her body felt more tangible.

"Hahaha, really?!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly covered her mouth and giggled.

"Mm." Xu Lang nodded, and said, "Your memories should have recovered a bit now, right? Tell us."

At those words, Red Butterfly’s expression stiffened, a flicker of fear appearing in her eyes, only to be replaced by coquettish laughter. She then laughed uproariously with the air of an eccentric aunt:

"I think I was a student at Paradise Lost High School when alive!"

"Then I was probably dismembered by some villain!"

"Afterwards, I don’t know how, I became an employee of the Dorm Survival Game, and started working for the game!"

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow: "Working for the Dorm Survival Game?"

"Yeah, I should have participated in a game before, but I survived. I don’t remember the details of that game." Senior Sister Red Butterfly shook her head.

"Red Butterfly, I didn’t expect you to have razed a building." Tong Qi exclaimed.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly answered oddly: "No, I don’t think so. That round of the game should have had many players who survived."

Tong Qi was puzzled.

If players won, could the monsters still be alive?

Red Butterfly’s expression went strange for a moment, then she tentatively said: "Monsters that won’t attack your dorm building probably all died, right?"

"Probably, yeah. Anyway, no survivors." Tong Qi scratched her head.

Red Butterfly: "......"

"I vaguely remember that in most games, monsters attacking buildings had time limits. Once the time elapsed, the monsters would retreat." Red Butterfly began.

"Our dorm building has the same situation, but if you try to outlast it, no one can really hold on without dying—only killing works!" Wang Yazhi came over and interjected.

On the final day of the Day and Night Ghost March, all monsters go berserk, clearly determined to kill players.

"That’s really crazy." Red Butterfly laughed awkwardly.

Xu Lang glanced sidelong at Red Butterfly.

The Mad King building isn’t a normal dormitory, and this Red Butterfly isn’t an ordinary turret!

The name Paradise Lost High School itself didn’t sound like a normal school!

Maybe it’s even a local school from the Red Mist World.
