Chapter 30: He Actually Responded—Attack the Facility!
Page (1/3)
“Let’s go,” Xu Lang said.
“Okay.” Wu Huihui nodded and headed toward the stairwell.
She had been waiting for Xu Lang to come up and chat with her, but when she turned around, she found him trailing at the very back. The corner of her mouth twitched.
“Xu Lang, you don’t have to be so cautious. The tenth floor is one big family—we’ll all help one another. We already know that you gave Li Yu the blueprints. You’re actually a good person, right?” she said sincerely.
Xu Lang was silent for a moment, then grinned. “That’s right. I’m a good person. You can walk ahead. I won’t shoot you.”
Everyone immediately felt a chill run down the backs of their necks.
Sensing that the atmosphere had taken a strange turn, Wu Huihui hurriedly said, “Fine, you can walk behind us and keep watch!”
With that, she quickened her pace.
The others did the same.
…
“Damn, they came down together.”
On the way to the supermarket, Wang Ao and his group saw Xu Lang and the others hurrying down the stairs. Their expressions changed slightly.
They had genuinely considered surrounding Xu Lang on the way there.
“Don’t stare. Get to the supermarket,” Wang Ao said coldly.
The supermarket was not far from the dormitory, less than five hundred meters away.
It had appeared out of nowhere, as if it had always been there.
The players from the first floor were the first to enter the supermarket, only to discover that someone had arrived even earlier than they had.
It was a young man with a round face and a round head, dressed in a trench coat.
It was Zhang Dahai, who had once livestreamed images for everyone.
“Dahai, how did you get here so quickly?” Jin Xin asked in surprise.
“I was wandering around outside and happened to see the supermarket appear, so I came in,” Zhang Dahai replied with an awkward grin.
Hearing this, the others stopped paying him much attention and began inspecting the supermarket instead.
There were no attendants inside, and it was much larger than an ordinary convenience store. Its lighting was bright, its facilities exquisite, and it was broadly divided into five major sections:
The Living Area, Entertainment Area, Equipment Area, Skill Area, and Facilities Area.
“Holy crap, this is ridiculously expensive! A level-one weapon costs eight hundred Copper Coins!”
“Isn’t this Xu Lang’s battle saber? It costs six thousand Copper Coins! That’s enough to buy my life!”
“A liter of mineral water only costs one hundred and twenty Copper Coins, yet Xu Lang charged us five hundred! What a black-hearted merchant!”
…
“Sis Ya, hurry up and ask him.” Among the large group from the tenth floor, a young man urged a beautiful woman.
She had long, straight black hair. Even in flat shoes, she stood around one meter seventy tall. She was beautiful, well-proportioned, and possessed an excellent bearing.
“Is it really okay for me to ask?” Wang Yazhi sounded somewhat uncertain.
The young man assured her, “He’ll definitely answer if you ask.”
“Exactly, Sis Ya. You’re so beautiful, and Xu Lang is such a lecher. If you ask him, he’ll definitely tell you!”
“Yeah, Sis Ya. That little black boy hanging beside his door number seems to be an airdrop reward. It might be incredibly powerful!”
The people around them began chiming in as well.
“Xu Lang, what is the black boy hanging beside your door number?” Wang Yazhi hesitated for a moment before turning to look at him. Her voice was quiet and melodious.
Instantly, everyone held their breath and slowed their steps.

Wu Huihui was no exception.
Perhaps because Wu Huihui had allowed everyone to use the bathroom, the members of the tenth floor were all at a normal level of cleanliness. Wang Yazhi’s flowing hair, in particular, was beautiful enough to give people the impression that she carried a delicate fragrance.
“That’s a guardian spirit. It can protect my dormitory from attacks,” Xu Lang replied.
[Name: Wang Yazhi]
[Qualifications: Phase One]
[Door Number: 193 (Tenant)]
[Comfort: 92 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 92%)]
Wang Yazhi was a classic Eastern beauty, with perfectly balanced facial proportions. Although the finer details of her appearance were not quite as exquisite as Cao Yaxuan’s, and her figure was not as breathtaking as Tong Qi’s, her gentle temperament was exceptionally captivating.
At the same time, she had the highest Comfort among all the women on the tenth floor.
That was because Wu Huihui had looked after the women before, resulting in nearly all of them gathering on the tenth floor. The ratio of men to women was severely unbalanced.
“Oh,” Wang Yazhi said with a smile. She brushed a strand of hair aside, then quickly turned her head back.
Her heart was pounding, and her cheeks were even slightly flushed.
Xu Lang had actually answered her!
University students no longer fell for the whole “school bully” routine as easily as they once had, but that depended on the person.
Everyone knew that Brother Edison was a playboy, but if he had appeared on campus at the height of his looks, he would certainly have driven the girls wild.
What was more, Xu Lang’s current status was far more substantial than Edison’s. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he held the lives and deaths of others in his hands.
“Xu Lang actually answered Yazhi!”
Wu Huihui was deeply shaken, while also feeling somewhat dejected.
If only she had been as beautiful as Wang Yazhi back then—would Xu Lang have agreed to open the door?
“Yazhi, there’s hope! Xu Lang really likes you!” exclaimed a girl standing closest to Wang Yazhi.
She was the owner of Dormitory 193 and had the closest relationship with Wang Yazhi.
If Wang Yazhi managed to win Xu Lang over, she felt that she would benefit as well.
Best friend, could you marry a wealthy man? An eighty-year-old one would be even better. Brother, I really can’t hold on anymore—could you find yourself a rich older woman?
“What do you mean, ‘likes’?” Wang Yazhi said, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Seeing her reaction, the crowd began teasing her even more enthusiastically.
A trace of vitality had appeared in this lifeless world.
“There are only seven days left until the next round of the game,” Xu Lang thought, secretly feeling some pressure.
Who knew what the next game would involve? It would most likely be even more terrifying than the zombie invasion. Otherwise, it would lose its “game” aspect.
Moreover, the dormitory broadcast had said that other players would be joining them.
When that happened, there would surely be new social conflicts.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang felt like reminding Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan of a few things. But seeing how excited the two women were, he decided not to be the one to ruin their mood.
Since the game had granted them seven days of rest, they might as well rest properly.
His rest, however, was different from everyone else’s.
He would grow stronger continuously, without end!
Before long, everyone arrived at the supermarket.
Near the entrance stood signs prohibiting fighting and destruction.
No one dared to test the rules with their own life.
This game was simply too strange.

Xu Lang and the other two entered the supermarket and discovered notices spray-painted across the walls, such as “Store items refresh weekly” and “Closed during the game.”
After taking a brief glance, Xu Lang led the two women straight toward the Equipment Area.
Looking at the weapons of all shapes and designs displayed in the cases, Xu Lang felt a powerful surge of desire.
Through the glass display cases, players could inspect an item’s information and purchase it by clicking the payment option.
Xu Lang stopped in front of a level-two bulletproof vest.
To be honest, he was quite afraid of someone shooting him from the shadows.
If it were cheap, he would not mind buying it.
The problem was that the bulletproof vest came as part of a complete set and had to be purchased together with the tactical gear. The total price was ten thousand eight hundred Copper Coins!
“Xu Lang, there are bullets over here.” Cao Yaxuan poked him on the arm and gestured for him to look to the side.
[No. 6 Bullet]
[Type: Consumable]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Requirement: 10 Nightmare Coins]
[Description: Suitable for the vast majority of standard pistols]
[Price: 20 Copper Coins]
The Colt Viper used No. 6 bullets!
Xu Lang’s eyes lit up, and he was just about to buy some when a series of surprised cries erupted from the Facilities Area nearby, drawing his attention.
“Brother Wang, isn’t this the steel gate that belongs to that Xu Lang kid? It really is a level-three gate, but it’s nothing special. They even have blueprints for level-four gates here. Though they’re insanely expensive!”
“Holy crap, we’ve struck it rich! Brother Wang, we’re rich! Look what I found. This game actually has defensive facilities! We won’t have to fear zombies anymore!”
“Hahaha, it’s real! I love you, supermarket! Why didn’t you appear sooner?”
“Damn, that’s expensive! A Rapid-Fire Crossbow costs two thousand Copper Coins!”
Xu Lang brought the two women over and immediately saw Wang Ao and his group gathered around rows of bows and crossbows.
[Rapid-Fire Crossbow]
[Type: Attack Facility]
[Level: 1]
[Damage: 12]
[Attack Speed: Standard]
[Crossbow Bolts: 1/1 (Each bolt costs 40 Copper Coins)]

A yellow sign bearing a friendly reminder hung beside it.
[Friendly Reminder: For every level a dormitory increases, it can install two additional attack facilities. A level-one dormitory can install a maximum of two attack facilities.]
