Chapter 717: The Dorm Owner Already Said Not to Go Out, and You're Still Telling Us to Go Out? Isn't That Just Nonsense?

What was Xu Lang doing?

It wasn't just the players of the three major dormitory buildings who were curious; even Tong Qi and the other internal tenants were just as curious.

The Mad King Building players assumed their Dorm Owner had some brilliant strategy and simply followed orders obediently, but Tong Qi and the others knew the truth—Xu Lang really hadn't prepared anything at all!

At this moment, Xu Lang wasn't even inside the dormitory, and none of the women knew where he had gone.

Watching more and more players reach the rooftop, their hearts climbed into their throats.

Every time a player summited, the kill threshold for Mad King Building rose another notch, and now half the players had already reached the top!

"Lang Ge doesn't need to play it this dangerously!" Tong Qi's small face was taut with tension.

No matter how much she trusted Xu Lang, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety at this moment!

"Yaxuan, can you get in touch with Xu Lang?" Wang Yazhi, the most composed among the women, was also starting to lose her cool.

"No reply..." Cao Yaxuan gently bit her red lips.

"I can't take this anymore. I'm going out to fight!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly slammed the table and shot to her feet.

She strode toward the main door, her black JK miniskirt fluttering, cutting a surprisingly dashing figure.

"Woof woof!"

Evil Furry Grain barked twice, tongue lolling out as it trotted along behind her.

Inside Demon King Castle, its closest bond was with Xu Lang, and its second closest was with Senior Sister Red Butterfly.

Just then, a figure blocked Senior Sister Red Butterfly's path!

"My husband said to let the others go through the teleportation gate and not to bother with them." Gu Ya had always kept a low profile within Demon King Castle, usually either praying in her room or reading in the study, rarely involving herself in anything.

But now, she stood firmly in front of Senior Sister Red Butterfly, her stance unyielding.

Ayiguli and the other Rakshasa tenants also stepped forward, silently voicing their support for Gu Ya.

The two sides suddenly found themselves locked in a standoff!

Senior Sister Red Butterfly's red lips curled back, revealing her white, even teeth, but her pitch-black eyes gradually darkened, as if they could drip water.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, a hand pressed down on her shoulder.

Tong Qi appeared behind Senior Sister Red Butterfly, looking at Gu Ya, and said, "Sister Gu Ya, don't cling so rigidly to the orders. What if something unexpected happened to Lang Ge?"

"Exactly! That's what I'm saying! Why are you old-timers so stubborn!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly immediately chimed in: "Xu Lang never gave a hard order anyway, so we're free to act on our own!"

Apart from having to go to bed at set times, the women of Demon King Castle enjoyed considerable freedom.

This was also Xu Lang's deliberate design.

Otherwise, there would be no one to step up when it truly mattered.

"Red Butterfly, don't rush either. Let's wait a bit longer." Tong Qi turned to look at Senior Sister Red Butterfly.

There was no right or wrong in this matter, just a difference in philosophy.

And she was actually on the waiting side. On the surface, she seemed to be speaking up for Senior Sister Red Butterfly, but in reality, she was soothing both parties' emotions.

Having been in the Dorm Survival Game for nearly a year now, Tong Qi might not have a mind as sharp as a seven-hole clever bead, but she had certainly honed her people skills.

After all, she needed to train her Ghost Pets, which required her to perceive emotions and guide them.

"Fine, then let's wait a little longer!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly stamped her foot, her gaze sweeping across the surveillance screens, where players were frantically climbing up the building, much to her displeasure.

...

Xu Lang appeared.

The first ones to see him weren't the women of Demon King Castle, but the players who had reached the rooftop.

In the corridor, Xu Lang was leading Bai Ling, Yan Xiaoli, and Jiang Xiaowen. He didn't take the stairs or climb the building, but leisurely made his way to the elevator.

"Ghost!"

A player happened to glance over while climbing and nearly fell off the building in fright.

What was it like to run headfirst into Xu Lang while raiding Mad King Building?

Players frantically veered toward other positions, while some started running back down, causing quite a commotion.

The players who had stayed behind in their dormitory buildings also spotted Xu Lang.

On the rooftop of Amusement Park Building, Candy Queen nearly popped her eyes out of her head, pointing toward Mad King Building and saying, "Is Xu Lang out here picking up girls?"

Jester shook his head, his smile stiff.

Youle chuckled inexplicably. As he had expected, things weren't simple at all. Xu Lang hadn't run into some accident—he really was plotting something.

This actually put him more at ease.

If Mad King Building were truly eliminated by doing nothing at all, then the second one to be eliminated would most likely be Amusement Park Building.

Kill the weak first, then let the strong clash.

Of course, Amusement Park Building could also voluntarily surrender, but then they'd definitely be used up until nothing was left but scraps!

...

Yan Xiaoli walked beside Xu Lang, her heart racing with excitement, practically lovestruck the entire way. Even though there were plenty of enemy players outside, she didn't spare them a single glance!

Her behavior made it unquestionably clear that even if a bullet shot her dead, her eyes would still be fixed on Xu Lang.

The Charm attribute was special precisely for this reason—if a person's subjective goodwill was strong enough, the attribute's effect could be doubled.

Jiang Xiaowen held Bai Ling's hand, walking on the inner side of the corridor.

Compared to Yan Xiaoli, she was a bit more level-headed.

"Dorm Owner, won't we lose the game like this?" Bai Ling was a fearless newbie who didn't hesitate to voice her doubts.

"It's fine. Even if the dormitory building dies, we won't die. I'll take you all to a safe place." Xu Lang smiled.

Bai Ling was pure, but not stupid. She felt something was off and wanted to say more, but the moment she looked at Xu Lang's profile, all her words died in her throat.

Thump, thump~

Her heartbeat inexplicably began to accelerate, like an engine, and her mind began to wander with wild fantasies.

"No wonder the Dorm Owner doesn't care about winning or losing and chose to avoid battle. He must not want to cause any casualties!"

"Sister Xiao Li and Sister Xiao Wen are right. Only by getting up close and personal can you truly know how gentle the Dorm Owner is."

Beside her, Jiang Xiaowen frowned inwardly.

Did the Dorm Survival Game really think it was that easy to fool?

Who knew? In any case, the Dorm Owner had means that reached the heavens, so they probably wouldn't be in any danger.

A moment later, the group took the elevator and returned to Demon King Castle.

...

With Xu Lang doing nothing, the kill line for Mad King Building climbed higher and higher!

The number of players summiting Mad King Building skyrocketed.

Five-tenths, six-tenths, seven-tenths, eight-tenths...

In fact, as soon as the number surpassed half, Mad King Building had already issued a task to its players.

Attack!

Stop the enemy dormitory building's players from passing through the teleportation gate!

But it was useless, because the Mad King Building players only listened to Xu Lang.

Task notification?

Could it be an illusion? Yeah, that was very possible. When dreaming, those Demon King's Apostles loved using all kinds of illusions to torment them.

Besides, if I can't complete a task, I just won't accept it, right?

The Dorm Owner already said not to go out, and you're still telling us to go out? Isn't that just nonsense?

The Demon Box World was very comfortable, with good food and good drink. They were having so much fun they forgot all about going back to the building!

Mad King Building players, by order, were lying flat!
