After entering Dorm 200, Zhen Lu finally let out the breath she had been holding, feeling shivers run down her spine.

"Haha, Little Deer, you weren't this timid before," Cao Yaxuan laughed when she saw this.

She thought her good friend had been too sheltered since childhood, lacking experience under the spotlight, which was why she was so nervous.

"You don't understand, Yaxuan," Zhen Lu said, biting her small white teeth. "My perception is sharper than yours. The malice from those people was real!"

A soccer star can score a goal in front of tens of thousands and enjoy it, but he would never dare to remain calm and composed in front of ten knife-wielding bandits!

"The Dorm Survival Game turns people into ghosts. These players don't have much humanity left in them," Xu Lang spoke up.

He was very glad he had raised Cao Yaxuan and the others well, otherwise he'd have to guard against them stabbing him in the back right now.

To be honest, seeing the rewards offered by the Mad King Building, even he felt tempted, like a wanted criminal seeing a bounty and wanting to turn himself in.

However, the Blood Pelican Demon Blade was an item he had decided upon, something to continuously upgrade. He couldn't just hand it over.

Even for a Dorm Owner Token.

The reason was simple.

Xu Lang's enemies weren't just monsters and other players, but the dormitory building itself!

Selling your main weapon to the enemy was just too stupid.

He came to the Dorm Survival Game not to work for it, but to become its master.

Of course, only he had the confidence to say that now. If it were the first round of the game... Building, please don't kill me!

"Lang Ge, what should we do next?" Tong Qi asked.

"Wait peacefully. If the dormitory building doesn't have any new tricks, we'll just treat it as rest time and play," Xu Lang shrugged. "If you're bored, you can also guess what the dormitory building will do next."

Hearing this, the girls actually started thinking.

Everyone sat down on the large U-shaped sofa in the living room. Xu Xiaomeng brought out a big bottle of cola and poured glasses for everyone.

Wang Yazhi pondered and said, "The essence of this round's game is internal strife. If the game's essence isn't changed, the next phase of the game can only go in two directions."

"Which two?" Cao Yaxuan hurriedly asked.

Wang Yazhi looked towards Xu Lang, who was sitting in the main seat, and said,

"A prerequisite for internal strife within a group is that there is no 'King' among them."

"The dormitory building miscalculated on this point."

"Next, it will either suppress Xu Lang, or it will foster a new King!"

The other girls felt this made a lot of sense.

Zhen Lu frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowed, and said,

"Actually, I feel the dormitory building is quite fair. It doesn't deliberately target anyone."

"Like you said last round, the dormitory building forcibly ended the game and even gave Lang Ge compensation."

"That seems pretty incredible to me!"

"If my dad's gaming company found a player exploiting a bug like that, they'd have banned the account long ago. Inviting them for tea at the police station would be normal."

"So, following this logic, I feel the probability of the dormitory building strengthening the monster side is higher."

Xu Ruyan also offered her opinion, saying,

"I also think that possibility is quite high."

"But if that happens, those ordinary players will suffer."

"If the monsters are strengthened to the point even Xu Lang can't defeat them, then..."

Cao Yaxuan swallowed hard. "It wouldn't be that extreme, right?"

If they did that, wouldn't it be following the building-destruction path again?

Hiss~

Seems like the Mad King Building likes playing that set!

Just as everyone was speculating, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.

[Dormitory Broadcast: Gameplay adjustments complete!]

[This round's game "When Night Falls, Close Your Eyes" duration shortened to the final two days, ending at 6 AM the day after tomorrow]

[Other adjustments are as follows—]

[Monster respawn time increased to thirty minutes, and they are no longer lootable!]

[Simultaneously, "Airdrop" gameplay added!]

[Airdrops are divided into Human Airdrops and Monster Airdrops, containing temporary exclusive weapons and powerful items!]

[Number of Monster Leaders increased to five!]

[New "Monster King" identity added!]

[The Monster King possesses a systematic set of powerful skills and base attributes, can instantly communicate with all monster players via consciousness, and can see the locations of all monster players!]

[This gameplay will officially commence in ten minutes, and monster players will be reselected at that time. Please look forward to it!]

Once the Dormitory Broadcast finished, all players were in an uproar!

Airdrops?!

Five Monster Leaders?!

The Monster King that sounds absolutely badass just from the name!!!

In Dorm 66, Zhai Ren clenched his hand with force, directly twisting the dumbbell bar into a pretzel, and sat upright from the bench press.

"The opportunity has come!" Zhai Ren growled lowly, his tiger-like eyes suddenly shooting out a divine light.

"Oh yeah! Don't stop!"

"The Monster King identity will definitely fall to our Dorm 66!"

"Only a real, hardcore man can become the Monster King!"

In the gymnasium filled with a philosophical atmosphere, howls and roars of excitement echoed incessantly.

...

"Give it to me, the Monster King identity will definitely be mine!!!"

In Dorm 10, a surge of vigorous energy suddenly erupted from Kui Zi's body, and she became incredibly excited.

Metallic characteristics appeared on her cheeks, and two exhaust ports emerged from her shoulder blades, spewing out billowing hot air.

Beside her, Su Yuan's pupils contracted.

Kui Zi had never shown this kind of physical transformation before.

Was she hiding her strength, or had she further developed that Sequence? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Whichever it was, this woman was somewhat terrifying.

Need to send her to Lang Ge's place as soon as possible!

...

"Xue Heng, our chance has come!" In Dorm 95, Xiao Yan slammed the table and stood up, looking at another handsome man.

Xue Heng grinned, fervently saying: "As long as we become the Monster King and eliminate Xu Lang, we can inherit everything Xu Lang has, and also hand over that high-risk item to the dormitory building, ascending to the heavens in one step!"

The two had met in the previous round's game, one placing third, the other fourth.

After Xiao Yan seized the position of Sixth Floor Leader, he invited Xue Heng to come be his second-in-command. Although they had a nominal division of roles, their authority in decision-making was equal.

Being willing to share power with Xue Heng showed that Xiao Yan was a very magnanimous person.

Such a person, in the real world, shouldn't harbor killing intent towards Xu Lang, the "benefactor" who helped him get to this point.

However, this was the Dorm Survival Game!

Everything prioritized profit!
