"Ding dong ding dong~"

At the entrance of Dorm 200, Pandora pressed the doorbell.

Her small face was expressionless, a bit unhappy.

Xu Lang hadn't replied to her message, and she wasn't friends with Wang Yazhi and the others, so the warning she had for Xu Lang could only be delivered in person.

A moment later, the door opened.

"Where is he? He was just here." Cao Yaxuan looked around.

"Down here!"

A delicate voice tinged with anger sounded from below.

Cao Yaxuan looked down and saw a head with twin ponytails. She smiled. "I didn't expect you to be this short even in platform shoes."

"I'm not here to argue with you," Pandora huffed. "Get Xu Lang out here. I have something to tell him, something concerning the entire dormitory building."

Cao Yaxuan spread her hands. "Too bad, Xu Lang isn't home."

Pandora frowned. "When will he be back?"

Not home at this hour, could he be out pioneering?

Is this man that diligent?

"Don't know, but probably soon," Cao Yaxuan replied.

"Fine, then I'll wait for him here," Pandora nodded.

*Bang!*

Cao Yaxuan closed the door, her face darkening.

Another one here for a tenant spot!

Pandora was momentarily stunned. She was, after all, the Dorm Owner of the ninth floor. Were they really this rude?

...

Two hours had passed since Xu Lang entered Dorm 10.

The door opened.

Xu Lang emerged, looking refreshed and energetic.

Ayiguli and the others had no experience, and the Great Demon King Xu found guiding them quite time-consuming.

"Ayiguli's Charm is 341 points, White Sand 214, Jinsha 200, Yinsha 200. Combined, the four of them have 955 points, almost breaking a thousand."

"Now the base Nightmare Coins per hour is 160, and the stay duration has also been extended to four hours. If Ayiguli and the other three can come together, that would yield an extra 6,112 Nightmare Coins!"

"With the stay duration extended to four hours, if all four come and go once, it shouldn't be so easy to annoy people..."

"Hmm, I still need to have everyone share a meal to increase camaraderie. Otherwise, it's just like with strangers."

Thinking this, Xu Lang turned back into the dorm to discuss the group meal with Ayiguli.

...

Standing in punishment!

Question: How difficult can one person's perseverance be?

Once, Pandora cursed inwardly, but gradually, she fell silent.

Once, she trembled all over with anger, but gradually, she became motionless.

Once, her mind was full of admonishments for Xu Lang, but gradually, she saw through everything.

Now, all that remained was an expressionless face, her gaze as lifeless as a specter's!

Players going upstairs to take out the trash who saw Pandora like this all hurried past, keeping their distance.

Pandora had no idea how long she had been standing there. A long, long time, anyway.

And the longer she stood, the less she wanted to leave. This was probably the so-called sunk cost.

Another figure appeared in her peripheral vision, but this time, it wasn't a player taking out trash.

The person had a tall, slender build, wore a handsome set of black clothes, and with long strides, arrived at the entrance of Dorm 200.

"What are you doing at my door?" Xu Lang looked down, staring curiously at Pandora.

"Xu~ Lang~" Pandora spoke, her head slowly tilting up. Her voice sounded strangely like a minor trying to fake a deep, resonant tone.

Damn, such intense resentment!

Even without using his Sixth Sense, Xu Lang could feel the negative emotions radiating from Pandora.

Was she going to attack him? But it didn't seem like it!

"Do you also want to be my dorm's Guardian Spirit?" Xu Lang asked with a smile.

"I came just to tell you one thing," Pandora warned coldly. "Do not spread the news about the S-rank Sequence appearing in the Mad King Building. Otherwise, it will attract enemies we cannot handle at this stage!"

"Alright, I understand," Xu Lang nodded.

She's actually pretty nice, making a special trip upstairs to warn me.

Pandora turned around, took a step with her short legs, her calves trembling, and then she toppled forward with a whoosh. Her intricate Gothic black dress billowed up like a night-blooming cereus caught in a gale.

It's bear-print panties!

"How weak is your Constitution?" Xu Lang helped Pandora sit down against the wall.

Pandora didn't reply, her small face pale as she gasped for breath.

Hmm, Pandora is exactly the type you need to guard against Xu Ruyan with. She can backstab from both sides, the polar opposite of Tong Qi.

During the interaction, Xu Lang kept his Nightmare Eye active, thoroughly investigating this ninth-floor Dorm Owner.

"None of your business, I'll be fine in a moment!"

"Just remember what I said. Don't randomly use the radio to connect to stations, or you'll be dead if you encounter a phishing station!"

"The radio can block supernatural forces, but it's not absolutely safe. Places like the Hunter Building can infiltrate other dormitory buildings!"

"Hey, are you even listening to me?!"

Seeing Xu Lang staring at the wall and gesturing, Pandora was furious.

"I heard you," Xu Lang said, staring at the wall in contemplation for a moment before flipping his hand and taking out the Lion Cub and the Death God's Egg for installation.

The moment they were installed, a Shrine manifested.

"You four, one left, one right. Each of you, pick a partner," Xu Lang said to the four little ones.

The Ghost Child was the most lively, leaping out from the Shrine with a whoosh. It gave the Lion Cub a disdainful glance, then curiously examined the Death God's Egg.

The River Mouth Child extinguished the incense, bowed to Xu Lang, placed its tiny hands in front of itself, and did not express a preference.

The Death God's Egg, the Lion Cub, and the River Mouth Child all remained noncommittal.

Only the Ghost Child pointed at the Death God's Egg and then made a flexing bicep motion.

[Nightmare Eye - Ghost Child: I can become stronger with him. Good partner!]

"The River Mouth Child likes to meditate, the Lion Cub likes to sleep. You two would indeed be more suitable together," Xu Lang chuckled lightly, placing the Ghost Child and the Death God's Egg on the left side of the door lintel, and the River Mouth Child and the Lion Cub on the right.

Immediately after, he took out four sticks of incense and lit them for the four little ones.

[Incense: Universal food for Guardian Spirits, can accelerate Guardian Spirit growth]

"You, you... where did you get so many Guardian Spirits!?" Pandora was dumbfounded, then her whole body became agitated.

She only had one Guardian Spirit herself.

"The supermarket has a Guardian Spirit Lottery Machine. You can try your luck," Xu Lang replied.

"The Mad King Building supermarket actually has that kind of..."

"Just one Gold Coin."

Pandora instantly shut up.

"If you don't have anything else, you can leave. Thanks for the warning," Xu Lang tossed Pandora a healing potion, showing slight recognition for her contribution.

Pandora could be considered an outstanding employee of his own Mad King Building.

As for when the Mad King Building became his...

Didn't Zhang Sanfeng say it? He was the destined Dorm Owner of the Mad King Building.

His eyes were so sincere, he must have been telling the truth!

Pandora immediately felt insulted, but after glancing at the grade of the healing potion, she still pocketed it and left in a huff.

Watching Pandora go downstairs, Xu Lang turned and, instead of going inside, headed for Dorm 195.

There was still a Gu Ya in the prison cell who needed a visit.
