Three days have passed, and the Nightmare Lord awakens from a long, sweet dream, with all things once again radiating brilliance.

A massive amount of information regarding the Nightmare Lord's promotion surfaces in Xu Lang's heart.

Information concerning the Nightmare Lord Sequence unfolds within him. Although this presentation still follows a data-based format, it has nothing to do with the dormitory building; it's merely his own habit to view things this way.

[Nightmare Lord — Xu Lang]

[Sequence Level: Supreme, Paramount, Magnificent]

[Sequence Stage: Initial Awakening]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 30,000]

[Total Nightmare Essence: 300]

[Sequence Ability 1 (Dream Control): The Nightmare Lord freely controls dreams]

[Sequence Ability 2 (Dream Descent·Royal Nightmare Bed): The Nightmare Bed created by the Nightmare Lord's power can transform abilities that transcend the boundaries of thought and physics into reality]

[Royal Nightmare Bed — Comfort Level 400 points. The Nightmare Lord gains 160 Nightmare Coins for every full hour of sleep, with a maximum of 8 hours of sleep per day. Currently possesses exclusive Nightmare Traits: Fusion, Simulation, Epitaph. Fourth trait pending selection. All Nightmare Traits with cooldowns will have their cooldowns refreshed at midnight]

The Sequence Level section was added by Xu Lang himself.

For no other reason than it looked cool to him.

"The Nightmare Coins have increased to thirty thousand, the Nightmare Essence has also increased, and most importantly, the value of each Nightmare Coin has increased!"

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth lifted in a wildly arrogant smile.

This time, the Nightmare Lord's promotion to Initial Awakening was a comprehensive upgrade in the truest sense!

[Royal Nightmare Bed]

[Nightmare Trait·Fusion: Fuses all things within dreams. Gains 30 fusion opportunities per day. Cooldown refreshes at midnight]

[Nightmare Trait·Simulation: Consumes Nightmare Essence to simulate within dreams. Can freely determine simulated characters, time, and location based on personal experiences as a foundation. Nightmare Essence consumption will increase appropriately. Current simulation error rate is 0.03%]

[Nightmare Trait·Epitaph: When you and all tenants die, you will collectively resurrect at the preset resurrection time, restoring the dormitory and all facilities. After Epitaph is activated, its cooldown refreshes at midnight that night]

[Exclusive Upgrade Requirement: 1,000,000 Nightmare Coins]

The next upgrade requires one million Nightmare Coins, but Xu Lang feels it doesn't matter. With just these three Nightmare Traits, he already possesses soaring ambition and an unshakable will to win!

No matter how difficult the Dorm Survival Game gets, he can survive!

Moreover, he can now choose one more Nightmare Trait!

[Please select from the following Nightmare Traits]

[Three: Curse]

[Five: Nightmare Eye]

[Six: Dreamland]

[Seven: Nightmare Apostle]

Xu Lang rubbed his fingers together, vaguely sensing what these four traits represented.

And so, he made his choice.

"I choose you, Nightmare Eye!"

The moment he made his choice, the dreamscape changed.

In an instant, a pair of invisible, colossal eyes tore open the heavens and earth. Rings of purple patterns surfaced within the pupils, and each ring of purple patterns shockingly contained countless more purple patterns within!

These purple patterns nested infinitely, like an endless cycle of reincarnation!

"The first step to trapping people and objects in nightmares is to see through their innermost hearts and uncover all the true information about items!"

[Nightmare Trait·Nightmare Eye: Sees through the true thoughts in a person's heart and the hidden true information behind items]

This was the initial ability of the Nightmare Eye, with potential for enhancement later, but Xu Lang already felt it was more than sufficient.

Now, what he wanted to do most was to see what the Mad King Building truly was!

Seeing through anyone's heart, never being betrayed by anyone, counting everyone's sins, grasping the psychology of all enemies—this was the ability brought by the initial stage of the Nightmare Eye!

Catching that previous "Player Traitor" would be as easy as pie!

"The Nightmare Eye has no cooldown. Now, even without psychological measurement-type skills, I can nail down a person's inner thoughts!"

Xu Lang was enveloped in a thick sense of happiness and security.

For the first time, he genuinely felt in control of his own destiny!

The Sixth Sense was useful, but its level was too low; he was always uneasy about it.

Furthermore, with the Nightmare Eye, even if he entered the Blood Mist World, he could see through all those never-before-seen things at a glance!

"The previous maximum Comfort Level was 2397 points. Adding 200 more makes it 2597!"

"160 base Nightmare Coins multiplied by 8 equals 1280 coins. Then amplified by 2597%, plus the 1280 base Nightmare Coins added back, totals 34,521 Nightmare Coins!"

"That's 32,521 Nightmare Coins per night, and the current value of each Nightmare Coin is even higher than before!"

Xu Lang couldn't wait. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had returned from the dream to reality.

...

Dorm 200.

The moment he opened his eyes, the bed canopy, identical to that of the Royal Nightmare Bed in his dream, came into view. Xu Lang checked the game time.

There were seventeen days left until the end of this round of the Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom game.

Today was the thirteenth day since the game started, and he had already slept for three days.

Xu Lang looked through the bed curtain and saw Xu Xiaomeng sitting on the sofa playing a game.

[Nightmare Eye·Xu Xiaomeng: There's a trap ahead... No, no, go back and eat a treasure chest first, then go... This time I must clear it in one life!]

Human thoughts are very jumpy, and the information Xu Lang saw through the Nightmare Eye was also this kind of jumpy information.

Purple patterns floated almost imperceptibly in the depths of Xu Lang's eyes before vanishing.

After adapting for a moment, Xu Lang mastered the method of activating and deactivating the Nightmare Eye. He got out of bed, not deliberately hiding the sound.

Hearing the movement, Xu Xiaomeng immediately turned her head, then froze slightly.

"Lang Ge is awake!!!"

The girl's sonic wave swept through the entire dormitory. Xu Lang could even see the little tongue inside Xu Xiaomeng's pink mouth.

"..."

Before long, all the women had gathered.

"So many people died in just three days?" Xu Lang's face was full of surprise.

[Mad King Building Chat Room 740/1000]

In just three days, over a hundred players were gone!

"Ah!" Cao Yaxuan let out a deep sigh and said, "Those monsters brought in catapults, attacked for a while, found out we didn't have Blood Grudge anymore, then charged the building in a wave. A lot of people died then."

"Were we attacked too?" Xu Lang asked.

Sherry shook her head in reply. "No, we weren't specifically targeted. On the contrary, those monsters were even avoiding us, seemingly not wanting to provoke us either."

Wang Yazhi furrowed her brows and said, "That's a bad sign. It means the monsters have a new leader among them."

"I see." Xu Lang stroked his chin, slowly reconstructing the scene in his mind, gaining a relatively comprehensive understanding of what had happened in the dormitory building during his three days of slumber.
