While Xu Lang and his four companions were taking inventory of their supplies, the other players had already finished off all the monsters.
So people had substantial gains, obtaining blueprints and equipnt drops. Others had worse luck—their doors were breached, but they managed to survive. And then there were those who were already dead.
But there were also so people for whom living was worse than death!
Dorm 77, Zhou Daha stood expressionless, his face deathly pale.
Damn it, being alive felt worse than just dying!
The side table nearby was overturned, and the thermoter lay shattered on the floor.
"Brother Ha, what should we do?" a bald tenant asked, trembling with fear.
"It's just a technical correction," Zhou Daha said, pushing up his glasses as he stiffly walked out of the dorm.
He went downstairs.
He didn't take the stairs, nor did he use the elevator.
...
So people on the fourth floor watched Zhou Daha scaling down the wall and felt puzzled.
You haven't even finished collecting the loot in front of your door, why are you leaving already?
So shook their heads and ignored him, instead happily chatting with their companions.
"Haha, as long as we survive the Polar Night, we can scrape through another round of the ga!"
"Thanks for the help, brothers from upstairs. But helping is one thing—you automatically picked up the Copper Coins, so maybe leave the equipnt alone?"
"Zhang Jie died, hurry and see what good stuff is in his room!"
"Brothers, get ready to go Floor Sweeping. It's the last day today, let's aim to find at least one Level Five piece of equipnt."
"Wait, was that Zhou Daha who just went down?"
"Yeah, Mad Face Bro, what's up?"
"Shit, follow , let's chase him down and kill him!"
...
"Xiao Bing, what do you think is the aning of human existence?" On the third-floor corridor, Wang Ao leaned both hands on the railing, his expression desolate, forming a stark contrast to the joyful looks of other players.
Wang Ao's tenant hesitated before replying: "Brother Wang, don't be sad. Fortune may be lost and regained, and every man has his use!"
It hadn't been long at all, yet Wang Ao seed like a completely different person. His bold declarations still faintly echoed in their ears.
"Collecting wolf pelts? The peak will be on the seventh day!"
"You don't understand the thrill of selling at the top!"
"I want to start from nothing and beco a top player!"
Xiao Bing wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Gambling addicts deserve miserable deaths.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired. I'll go back and rest for a while."
"Okay... Hey hey, Brother Wang, why are you collapsing? Even if you're exhausted, don't sleep in the doorway!"
...
The final wave of monsters was indeed quite nurous, with high drop rates. After taking inventory, Xu Lang and the others discovered they had earned a full 100,000 Copper Coins, not to ntion the piles of Level Two and Three equipnt that had almost ford a small hill.
"Gasp~ I had no idea until we counted, but there's actually this much!" Cao Yaxuan exclaid, clicking her tongue.
"As long as you can withstand the monsters' frenzied state, the rewards are enormous." Wang Yazhi's eyes glead as she analyzed from a macro perspective: "A huge wave of monsters, plus a 30% drop rate—almost everyone in our dorm building has equipnt to wear now. We're definitely stronger than other dorm buildings in the sa period."
"That makes sense." Xu Lang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the low-level equipnt as he pondered: "If there's too much low-level equipnt, the prices will drop. Eventually, we'll only be able to dismantle them for raw materials."
Cao Yaxuan nodded repeatedly: "Mhm, mhm, let's sell them off quickly!"
Xu Lang had sold the wolf pelts early, preventing them from becoming dead weight in their hands. This reinforced her belief that selling early ant permanent profits.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Xu Lang looked at Tong Qi: "Tong Qi, I'll leave selling these things to you. It's fine even if the prices are a bit lower."
"Okay." Tong Qi replied.
...
The monsters were all dead by a little past six today, and the second wave likely wouldn't co. Players had plenty of ti for Floor Sweeping.
Coupled with the warming weather, almost all players went out for Floor Sweeping.
But Xu Lang still didn't go out.
Even though this was the last day, with a significant improvent in loot quality.
Who knew if the Dormitory Broadcast would ss with people's minds again by announcing so sudden event?
During the ga, your own dorm is the safest place.
...
At the edge of the blood mist, dozens of frost fortresses stood, looking quite peculiar.
"Our King is dead." An elder erged from the crimson fortress at the very center, looking up at the sky. His aged eyes flickered with a glint of wisdom.
He held an iron hamr in his hand, his body was crimson, and his face appeared extrely ancient.
So elite Frost Ghosts gathered around, all watching this elder.
With the Frost Ghost King dead, the mission of leading the Frost Ghosts automatically fell to him.
Just then, a group of players charged over.
"Uncle Wen was right, there really are remnants of Frost Ghosts here!"
"This must be their stronghold, there's definitely good stuff inside—I see looting Frost Ghosts!"
"Kill them!"
The players had grown bold, actually taking the initiative to fight in the field.
However, the results weren't as satisfying—they were quickly beaten back.
Li Shuwen, who had backed them, never showed up.
The old Frost Ghost's face darkened as he turned and returned to the crimson fortress.
The mont he lifted the tent flap, a spear suddenly shot forward, piercing through his chest!
The bloodied spear tip erged from his back!
Bang!
Li Shuwen twisted his wrist, transmitting a surge of force that shattered all the old Frost Ghost's internal organs.
Then, Li Shuwen quickly stepped forward, snatched a string of agate beads from the old Frost Ghost's neck, and a thrilled smile suddenly spread across his face.
Success!
"He killed the Great Elder!"
A group of Frost Ghost Soldiers charged over. Seeing this, Li Shuwen quickly grabbed the dropped loot and turned to flee.
After returning to the crimson fortress, he saw Zhang Dahai peeking out from the tunnel entrance and shouted sternly: "Let's go, quick!"
Zhang Dahai imdiately pulled his head back.
Li Shuwen held his breath, moving stealthily into the tunnel, wary of Zhang Dahai potentially betraying him.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"Uncle Wen, how did you do it? How co the monsters didn't detect you? Are you a Wanderer too?" Zhang Dahai couldn't resist asking after walking ahead for a while.
"Here, it's yours." Li Shuwen took a jade pendant from his neck and tossed it to Zhang Dahai.
But Zhang Dahai didn't reach out to catch it; instead, he backed away several steps.
Seeing the jade pendant land safely on the ground, Zhang Dahai chuckled and stepped forward to pick it up.
"You'll probably survive a long ti in this ga." Li Shuwen gave Zhang Dahai a deep look.
"Hehe, you flatter , Uncle Wen." Zhang Dahai checked the jade pendant's information and found it was an item that could conceal one's aura for a short ti, though its usage count was already exhausted.
He didn't mind, happily storing it in his backpack.
After that, he didn't ask any more questions, just kept his head down and walked ahead.
Seeing this, Li Shuwen silently raised his evaluation of Zhang Dahai.
In the Dorm Survival Ga, there is no right or wrong, good or evil, only life or death.
He had genuinely feared Zhang Dahai might ask why he had betrayed the others, or inquire about matters related to the Sequence.
...
Ti flew by, and soon the Polar Night was approaching.
"Good thing I kept a backup plan." Beside a large rock at the edge of Rust Lake in Rust Lake Park, Zhou Daha stood up from the grass, casually brushing off an invisibility talisman from his body.
This heavy investnt failure was all Xu Lang's fault—he killed the monsters too quickly.
But surviving afterward also depended on Xu Lang.
"I can't go ho anymore. I'll hide in the lake for a while first... The Polar Night monsters probably won't specifically dive into the water to kill ..."
"I hope Xu Lang kills the Polar Night monsters quickly, so the ga ends early and I can change dorms!"
"Except, veteran players here all say there's no option to change dorms when the ga ends."
"What a stupid dorm building. Will this round be the sa?"
Zhou Daha stopped overthinking, took a deep breath, and dove into the lake surface.
Not long after, the lake surface began bubbling and gurgling, as if sothing had floated up...
And right at that mont, the Polar Night descended, covering everything in darkness.
