"Haizi, your old classmate is about to have big trouble." Inside the library, the man with the goatee looked at Zhang Dahai and said thoughtfully.

Zhang Dahai's heart tightened. "Uncle Chen Kui, that shouldn't be possible. Lang Ge is very strong."

After chatting, Zhang Dahai had become friends with the goatee man.

The goatee man was named Chen Kui, originally a player from ten or more cycles ago. He had encountered a disaster-level monster and used a special item to come over from another dormitory building.

His strength wasn't even half of what it used to be, his dorm was ruined, and he was left with only experience and insight.

It was precisely because Chen Kui disclosed this information without reservation that Zhang Dahai reluctantly trusted him.

"No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than a dormitory building?" Chen Kui shook his head. "This move by the Mad King Building is specifically targeting Xu Lang."

"Then what should Lang Ge do?" Zhang Dahai asked worriedly.

Chen Kui imparted his wisdom: "That's up to him. In the Dorm Survival Game, being too strong is no good, being too weak is no good either. Only by playing it safe and low-key can you win everything!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I totally agree with that!" Zhang Dahai nodded repeatedly.

Chen Kui urged him, "Let's hurry back. There will probably be quite a few tracking monsters soon."

"Monster players are different from regular monsters;they don't have the sharp sense of smell for players in the wild. So some players who can't withstand the door assaults will run outside. I estimate many players chosen to become monsters will also think of this and choose pursuit-type monsters."

"...Heh heh, it's just a cycle of cat and mouse anyway!"

Zhang Dahai found this reasoning very sound and hurried back.

Although the Edgewalker ability was strong, his opponents were other players. He knew all too well how sneaky those players could be.

At the door, Zhang Dahai looked at Chen Kui strangely. "Uncle Chen Kui, aren't you going back to your own dorm?"

"Heh heh, my dorm is ruined, Haizi. How about I just become your tenant?" Chen Kui rubbed his dirty hands together, staring at the dorm name with a grin. "Fortune Feast Residence, good dorm, good dorm indeed!"

Tenant count for Dorm 33: +1.

Roommate count for Ye Fan: +1.

...

Time passed, and all players were eagerly anticipating that moment of great fortune.

This was a genuine opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step.

The people in Dorm 200 were no different.

Xu Lang had gotten the monster identity last round, so it wasn't impossible for him to get the Monster King identity this round.

If Xu Lang got the Monster King identity, he could not only command all monster players and monopolize the monster airdrops, but also control the human players, making them collect the human airdrops.

This way, he could kill two birds with one stone and break the Mad King Building's defenses once again.

However, the idea was beautiful, but reality often falls short.

Once the ten minutes were up, the game began again.

Far from getting the Monster King identity, Xu Lang and his group didn't even get the basic monster identity.

"We'll have to fight a defensive battle," Xu Xiaomeng sighed.

"Not necessarily," Wang Yazhi shook her head, a few sharp glints flashing in her cool eyes.

Monster players had airdrops. If they only defended, they might not be able to hold out.

It could only be said that the Mad King Building was truly too cunning.

...

[Congratulations, you have become the Monster King. You may choose one of the following three ultimate forms for transformation.]

[1. Earth Dragon: A powerful creature with a trace of dragon bloodline. Body length: 12 meters. Weight: 23 tons. Its terrifying charge is the best weapon for attacking cities and conquering territories. You only need to advance to push over everything before you, invincible.]

[2. Son of the Slippery Head Ghost: Possesses the incomplete bloodline of the monster king, the Slippery Head Ghost. Ability to conceal one's aura is extremely strong. As long as you don't appear, no one can find you. When struck into a near-death state, you will enter the next form, with combat power doubled.]

[3. Golden Armored Corpse: A mighty warrior said to have guarded an immortal's cave dwelling in legends. Possesses the courage to stand against ten thousand. Defense is unparalleled, attack is unparalleled. The Golden Armored Corpse must have been a battle-hardened general in life. After refinement by an immortal, it endures a hundred calamities without perishing. Surviving the thunder tribulation allows it to become a Corpse Liberation Immortal.]

[Prerequisite for becoming the Monster King: Kill all tenants within the dorm. Countdown: five minutes.]

In Dorm 89, Tang Ze looked at the options before him, feeling only a roar in his brain and a complete blankness.

He... was actually chosen to become the Monster King?!

"Hahaha, Brother Tang, we were chosen to become monsters!"

"Great! We can go break down doors this round!"

"A hundred percent drop rate, hahaha!"

"Hiss~ Isn't this a bit... not good? Xu Lang is still looming over us!"

"What Xu Lang, what Xu Sea? The Monster King definitely has to go seize his Blood Pelican Demon Blade! He'll be the first to die!"

"Hey, Brother Tang, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Don't know which monster form to choose?"

The six tenants were chattering noisily. One of the male tenants noticed Tang Ze's unusual state and asked curiously.

Tang Ze stared fixedly at these tenants, his expression numb and desolate.

Last round, new residents squeezed out the veteran players' living space. He endured it, so he didn't go join forces with Li Shuwen.

But he already felt incomparable pressure.

Several players on the fifth floor absolutely wouldn't mind screwing him over in the game, and he, constrained by their methods, couldn't take action.

The situation in Dorm 89 was already hanging by a thread.

If he didn't make some changes, everyone would die!

Yes, that's right!

"Uncle Tang, what's wrong with ya?" A young man, seeing Tang Ze's somewhat frightening expression, instinctively asked in his rural accent.

He was Tang Ze's biological nephew. Tang Ze usually treated this only relative in the Mad King Building very well.

"Brother Tang, did something happen?" Another girl who had transformed into a fox demon frowned.

Everyone noticed Tang Ze's strangeness, but they all thought something unexpected had happened, not thinking more deeply.

After all, everyone who could become Tang Ze's tenants were naturally his trusted aides. Their fates were intertwined, sharing glory and disgrace.

"I'm sorry... there's not much time left!" Tang Ze pulled out a Spiked Club.

The countdown... only five minutes...

...

Several minutes later, a monster gleaming with gold from head to toe walked out of Dorm 89.

The Dorm Owner held the highest door control authority, and tenants couldn't attack the Dorm Owner inside the dorm. Although there were only five minutes, it was enough for Tang Ze to complete a massacre.

For reasons unknown, Tang Ze did not close the dorm door.

The inside was a bloody mess, openly displayed to the outside as if exposing the previous sin to sunlight could purify it.

Those tenants he killed did not resurrect.

This outcome was predictable. The vicious intent behind the Mad King Building setting that prerequisite was already very clear.

Tang Ze had understood this from the start, which was why he hesitated so much.

All the monsters gathered on the fifth floor, demonic aura soaring to the sky, a spectacular sight!

"Kill!"

Tang Ze gave the order and was the first to crash into a dormitory door.

Turrets attacked, hitting his golden scale-like exterior with minimal effect.

The first step towards becoming the strongest began with stepping over the bones of other players on the same floor!

Who told them they were closest to him?!
