In the basent.
Xu Lang, Luo Lin, Mary, and Xu Ruyan stood before the Astral Foundation. On top of it stood a cold-faced biochemical soldier.
“It’s not working,” Xu Ruyan shook her head. “The Astral Foundation won’t accept sacrifices from biochemical soldiers. It has to be a real person.”
“Then we’ll just have to let Floating Life Play handle it,” Xu Lang said flatly.
Ten-plus minutes later, Floating Life Play brought over a Mad King Building player.
“Dorm Owner, his identity has been stripped, and he’s been hypnotized,” Floating Life Play said respectfully.
Players sent to the Hunter Building couldn’t carry the slightest trace of Mad King Building.
Having too many enemies was never a good thing.
If the Celestial Demon Building and Grandmaster Building players were smart enough, they should already know about the good deeds they’d done.
A mont later, the Astral Foundation activated, and the forr Mad King Building player was teleported away.
The Astral Foundation could retrieve the past coordinates of items, and Joson had sothing from the Hunter Building on him.
So, Xu Lang didn’t need any communication device at all to get close to the Hunter Building.
It just cost him a few people.
...
Beneath the blood-red sky.
Twenty-nine black stone towers rose tall, encircling a central palace complex.
Players bustled between them, looking very busy.
Suddenly, a man with a wild, frantic expression appeared out of nowhere.
The next second, all those players stopped in unison and moved toward the frantic-looking man, as if they’d received so kind of command.
“Soone actually invaded!”
“An invasion! Haha, an invasion!”
“No one brought him here—this guy barged in by himself!”
The Hunter Building players had an interesting way of doing things. They didn’t swarm the Mad King Building player in a chaotic mob. Instead, they stood in well-spaced positions, as if they weren’t in a hurry to attack.
The frantic-looking man raised a demon box and shouted loudly:
“With our flas of reason, we shall burn all bizarre tales to ashes!”
“In this shattered world, we will beco new gods!”
“The Taleblade Building sends its regards!”
When the man shouted the Taleblade Building’s motto, the Hunter Building players’ faces changed drastically.
So attacked without a second word!
So turned and ran!
“Goddammit, what the hell is a Taleblade Building scumbag doing at our Hunter Building?!”
“This is deliberate sabotage—who leaked the news that we’re about to upgrade to level thirty?!”
“Go notify the guild leader!”
“F*ck your mother! I’m hit! What do you an I’m cursed? I need Copper Coins to suppress it? I’ll suppress your mother!”
A barrage of long-range attacks ca crashing in, killing the forr Mad King Building player on the spot.
Then, a burst of Immortal Fire suddenly ignited, burning that forr Mad King Building player’s body to ashes!
Not long after, a group of Hunter players in high-tier gear arrived.
They all shared one feature: every single one wore a mask. This group stared at the human-shaped ash on the ground, and the atmosphere grew bitterly cold.
A masked man turned to look at the onlookers and cursed, “You useless wastes! Couldn’t you leave behind even a single clue?”
The other players stayed silent.
“Such extre thods could only be used by those Taleblade Building players!” a masked female player said in a deep voice.
“Not necessarily!” The man with the silver mask raised his hand, analyzing, “If it were Taleblade Building players, he wouldn’t have died so cleanly. They would have let us retrieve his information.”
The closer you got to the Taleblade Building, the more dangerous it was.
The more you understood tales, the closer you got to the source of horror.
“Makes sense. Is this a framing?” the female player asked.
The silver-masked man seed to have high prestige—no one doubted his words.
“In any case, this isn’t good. At this critical mont for the Hunter Building’s upgrade… it’s likely the work of a few other dorm buildings,” the silver-masked man said in a low voice. “Let’s hope the Taleblade Building doesn’t join forces with them, or things will really get troubleso!”
Every dorm building had to participate in Building Wars during each upgrade.
And long before the war truly began, the conflict had already started.
After three dorm building upgrades, everyone could pinpoint a few targets they’d face in the Building War.
Whenever Dorm Survival Ga involved players from two buildings, it always followed the principle of proximity. For example, with the Netherworld Invitation, the two teammates Xu Lang t were other players from the Titan Ruins. The Building War was similar.
...
“Died that fast?”
In the Mad King Building’s basent, Xu Lang muttered to himself.
The demon box curse on that player had been severed.
Replacing it were many new demon box curse connections. The plan had succeeded.
Framing the Taleblade Building was just sothing he did on the side.
The Taleblade Building had never stopped trying to dig up information on the Mad King Building, and the two sides had already clashed several tis.
Sotis winning, sotis losing.
Xu Lang had stopped going to the Coliseum, but the Mad King Building players were very enthusiastic about it. These days, the ones who set the most betting odds at the Coliseum were the Mad King Building players.
There was no helping it—the overall quality of Mad King Building players was pretty low.
By quality, he ant ntal quality. Their SAN values were already insufficient, and the Taleblade Building players kept provoking them, so fighting was only natural.
Not only did players from other buildings fight Mad King Building players, but internal competition among Mad King Building players was also brutal. Li Shuwen himself had been challenged once or twice.
There were patrol teams in the Safe Zone, with too many interfering factors.
Maybe mid-fight, a flurry of ice flowers would crash down on their heads. If that happened, everyone died together—not exactly worth it.
“Dorm Owner, is the plan successful?” Floating Life Play licked his lips, a glint of excitent flashing in his eyes.
“Consider it successful for now,” Xu Lang nodded. “You can go.”
“Understood!” Floating Life Play smiled at the corners of his eyes and turned to leave.
Floating Life Play was just like that—you could use him and toss him away, and he wouldn’t get angry.
Last ti, Senior Sister Red Butterfly had died all over the place, startling him badly. Since then, he’d beco increasingly cautious and timid when dealing with players in Demon King Castle.
“Wh-What? Is there sothing on my face?” After Floating Life Play left, Luo Lin saw Xu Lang staring straight at her. She couldn’t help but panic, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.
The human-shaped Succubus of Mad King Building was Xu Lang, and he chard both n and won alike.
n submitted to his power and the sense of security after entering the Demon Box World, while won wanted him in every way, including physically.
“Aunt Luo, has the Demigod Serum research already succeeded?” Xu Lang had a smile on his face, but his words sent a bone-chilling cold through Luo Lin’s heart, like falling into a bottomless ice abyss.
He knew! He actually knew!!
Luo Lin felt her mind spinning. Forcing down her body’s abnormal reactions, she replied, “Yes, the Demigod research has been completed. It’ll be fully ford by tonight!”
“Alright, I’ll co get it tonight,” Xu Lang said with a smile.
Luo Lin was never a simple woman!
After civilization was destroyed, she and Tao Tao were the last sparks of civilization, crossing the Blood Mist alone with her daughter.
Moreover, for the sake of the country and the research institute she spoke of, she could conduct human experints. Even if she had so kindness and compassion in her nature, she was absolutely the type to be morally bankrupt.
Don’t think living with her for a year or two could reform her. Even after ten years, she might not fully trust anyone else!
The Demigod Serum was her own hidden trump card, originally ant for herself.
Luo Lin left with the biochemical soldiers, still feeling sowhat dazed. It was as if the little secrets in her heart were like showing off before an expert in front of Xu Lang.
At the sa ti as she felt fear, she also had a strange sense of security.
A scumbag is full of lies and also very charming, the reason being he can fool won.
And even if a woman cos to her senses, she’ll still fall into the scumbag’s trap later on.
The reason was brutal.
Compared to a pathetic simp begging for love, a woman prefers a man who can deceive her to the point of heartbreak.
A man who can’t even fool himself isn’t fit to stand in society.
