The factory directors' eyes flashed with confusion.

A level ten dormitory encountering level eleven monsters—that would be over-model monsters.

This was an unwritten rule for all dormitory buildings, right?

Why doesn't it apply to your Mad King Building?

"You're talking nonsense!" The human factory director, built like a bear, couldn't hold back any longer. He abruptly stood up, pointing an accusing finger at the Mad King Building player.

The Mad King Building player retorted defiantly:

"Give me enough Copper Coins, and I'll buy you as many level ten pieces of equipment as you want!"

"You can't connect to the Mad King Building's Trading Network. If you could, you'd know exactly what the situation is!"

"Level ten equipment? We have so much we can't even use it all!"

It didn't sound like he was lying, but the human factory director still gave the Mad King Building player one hundred thousand Copper Coins to purchase equipment.

Because the equipment and supplies from the last round of the game were so abundant and depreciated rapidly, this Mad King Building player actually managed to buy several pieces of level ten equipment with that one hundred thousand Copper Coins.

Now, all the factory directors believed him.

At this moment, their minds were in a bit of turmoil.

A Level 6 Dormitory building, with more level ten equipment than they could use...

Weird. Really weird.

"How did you get through the last round of the game?" the Rokurokubi asked in a serious tone.

The Mad King Building player quickly summarized the course of the Defensive Battle.

"Incredible! What level was that Xu Lang's Turret, exactly?" The human factory director clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I don't know. Maybe level twenty?" The Mad King Building player shook his head, not very clear on the details.

"Even a level twenty Turret couldn't possibly be that strong, unless its Rarity is Legendary, or..." The Rokurokubi paused, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes: "Or the Turret is inlaid with Legendary gems!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the factory directors began to gleam.

The human factory director looked at the Mad King Building player and asked, "Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

The Mad King Building player replied, "I think the latter possibility is more likely. Lang Ge's Turrets definitely have gems inlaid in them."

"Heh, so your dormitory does have a Blacksmith." The Rokurokubi chuckled.

The eyes of the factory directors grew even brighter.

This Mad King Building had quite a few secrets.

"Tell me one piece of intelligence you consider crucial. Otherwise, you die." A humanoid factory director with four eyes looked at the Mad King Liu player, his voice cold.

"Don't provoke Lang Ge!" The Mad King Building player replied very bluntly.

"Hah, 'Purgatory,' the one who killed the Taleblade Building player, right? We've heard his name long ago." The Four-Eyed Factory Director sneered, then continued, "Tell me another piece of intelligence you think is valuable. Otherwise, you die!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Then just kill me!" The Mad King Building player was also a tough character. Though captured by the enemy, he had a bit of a 'take it as it comes' attitude.

The Four-Eyed Factory Director drew his blade: "You think I won't kill you?"

As his words fell, a cold, long blade was suddenly pressed against the Mad King Building player's neck!

The Mad King Building player's pupils contracted; he actually hadn't seen the Four-Eyed Factory Director's movement trajectory!

"You're very arrogant. Is this arrogance stemming from Xu Lang?" The Four-Eyed Factory Director's four eyes suddenly glowed red. "I heard he uses a blade. I also want to know exactly how much skill he really has!"

A chill ran through this Mad King Building player's heart, and he instantly calmed down, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Enough. Someone take him away. He's still a laborer, after all." The human factory director waved his hand. Two Twilight Building players came over and escorted the Mad King Building player away.

In the corridor, this Mad King Building player happened to see several other Mad King Building players being escorted over, heading towards the conference hall.

He recognized these people. His eyes flashed, and he quickly sent them private messages.

[Zhao Changsheng: Don't provoke the Rokurokubi Factory Director or the Four-Eyed Factory Director. The human factory director with the worst temper is the key to survival—the above speculations are all personal experience and do not constitute guidance.]

...

After this Mad King Building player left, the human factory director looked at the other directors. "What do you think? Should we change the original plan?"

The original plan was to play the friendly card, coexist peacefully for a day to familiarize themselves with the Mad King Building's layout, then ambush its Pioneering strongholds and key positions, crippling the Mad King Building players in one wave.

A direct assault on the dormitory building was too irrational.

Even though they were initially very arrogant, they hadn't considered that.

And now, after hearing about the Mad King Building's exaggerated defensive capabilities, they had even less intention of doing so.

"Find a way to destroy that Dorm 200." The Four-Eyed Factory Director loosened his grip, and his long blade slid back into its sheath with a soft *click*.

Like the Rokurokubi, he wore a kimono with a black and red base. He was the final boss of the Twilight Building's sixteenth cycle, recruited by the Rokurokubi, and possessed extremely formidable strength.

The Rokurokubi pondered and said:

"Judging from that player's description, the key to colonizing the Mad King Building lies with Dorm 200."

"As long as Dorm 200 declines, the other dorms won't be a concern."

These two sentences first acknowledged the Four-Eyed Factory Director's judgment, then added:

"But I feel the dormitory itself isn't actually that important. The main issue is that Xu Lang."

"We players aren't affected by Blood Grudge. As long as we don't actively attack, that dormitory is just a decoration to us."

"Let's find a way to ambush Xu Lang first. Once he's dead, the situation will completely open up for us!"

Hearing this, the Four-Eyed Factory Director immediately grew excited and volunteered, "Let me go. As long as he leaves the dorm, I'm confident I can keep him there!"

The Rokurokubi shook his head, vetoing the proposal, and suggested, "It's best if all ten of us factory directors go together. That way, we can ensure success... But before that, we need to verify the authenticity of the information again."

Just then, several captured Mad King Building players were brought up.

...

*Pfft~*

In an alley, three Twilight Building players were stabbed to death by Mad King Building players.

Weak!

So weak!

A level ten spear, one stab and they were dead!

As players, they actually had no protective equipment, can you believe it?!

Seeing you all wearing blue work uniforms, I thought you were tough, but you really are just wearing a work uniform!

"Boss, these Twilight Building players don't have any good stuff on them! A crappy set of work clothes that adds two points to Constitution and Spirit—even a dog wouldn't want it!" A tattooed man cursed while performing Body Looting.

"Clothing that adds attributes would have been considered a minor treasure before, but this effect is a bit abstract, isn't it? 'Increases work efficiency by 100% when slaughtering chickens and ducks in the poultry factory'..." Another young man scratched his head. "Could it be that the Twilight Building is full of these farming-type, production-type players?"

"Probably." The leading man with a crew cut said indignantly, "Dammit, being this weak, they really don't deserve to live!"

Any players who ventured into the Twilight Building's Safe Zone were bandits like this, adhering only to the jungle law of survival of the fittest.

Extreme environments breed extreme emotions.

The Mad King Building's difficulty was perverse. Almost every round of the game had monsters running drills in the corridors, while players could only stay in their dorms, feeling despair.

People who have experienced this find it hard to just lie down and give up.

Life is an uphill journey; if you don't advance, you die.

In this situation, even if they weren't united, they were forced to unite and fight for the collective good.

Just like now.

Even though killing Twilight Building players yielded little benefit, they still planned to keep killing.

[Community Mission "Mad Reversal": Kill one hundred Twilight Building players. The SAN value characteristic will undergo a reversal. For every 1 point it decreases, base attributes increase by 1%. This mission must be completed within this round's rest period and is open to all Mad King Building residents. Current completion: "80".]

In just one hour, Mad King Building players had nearly committed one hundred murders!

This was the real Dorm Survival Game!

Justice and kindness don't solve problems!

Survival is the only imperative!

Under such terrifying survival pressure, some players had long gone mad. The average SAN value of Mad King Building players didn't exceed 60 points. It only recovered slightly when they were in their dorms.

Don't be fooled by how timid they seemed in front of Xu Lang. Outside, they were first-class villains.

Once the community mission was truly completed, there would definitely be players who intentionally lowered their SAN value for the combat power boost!
