Aside from this matter, the students had also summarized some useful information.
First, the dormitory building has ten floors total, with twenty units per floor. It's a co-ed building but with separate rooms.
Second, only those with individual dorm rooms are considered homeowners, while all others are tenants. Staying in someone else's dorm for over an hour will cause suffocation.
Third, game items exist in some locations.
"The early game strategy seems to involve going out to collect items, but this goes against my Nightmare Lord abilities. Also, the difference between homeowners and tenants doesn't seem to be showing yet..."
Getting school-approved single dorm rooms wasn't easy. He only had this privilege because his nightmare-induced facial expressions were too terrifying, making him unsuitable for living with others.
Xu Lang pondered for a moment, then opened the dorm information in his personal panel.
【Homeowner: Xu Lang】
【Dorm Level: 0】
【Tenants: 0/2】
【Facilities: Shabby Wooden Door, Desolate Nightmare Small Bed, Hanging Light】
After reviewing this, Xu Lang pulled up his blanket and went straight to sleep!
For some reason, after entering this Dorm Survival Game, he could actually sleep well.
...
【Zombie Attack Countdown: 45 minutes 32 seconds】
"I actually slept for this long."
Xu Lang quickly got up.
The outside world was no longer as noisy, having become somewhat quiet.
He habitually opened the chat room, and the first thing that caught his eye surprised him.
Another murder had occurred!
And it was players killing each other!
The killer was Wang Ao.
This guy was tall and heavily built, the ace of the school sports team. While searching the teaching building with someone, he found a Level 1 door blueprint, got into an argument with his companion, and ended up accidentally killing them.
Although several physical conflicts had occurred throughout the day, this was undoubtedly the most serious one.
The incident was only discovered some time later. By the time it was found out, Wang Ao had already escaped back to his dorm and upgraded his door.
He was now hiding in Dorm 86, shouting provocatively.
【86 Wang Ao: The apocalypse is already here, who needs to listen to your bullshit commands!】
【86 Wang Ao: Idiots, we're all in double rooms! Only by killing the other person can you become the homeowner and modify the dorm! This is a hidden rule! If you can't figure out how to play the game, then don't play!】
【86 Wang Ao: My door now has 12 defense! Your attack power isn't enough, you can't even deplete its durability! Don't waste your effort!】
【86 Wang Ao: Come on! Who dares to come? I'll trade one for one with anyone!】
Wang Ao was extremely agitated, not only spouting trash talk in the chat room but also faintly heard roaring loudly.
If they really went all out, everyone could probably break down the door.
But after that, they'd have to face the crazed Wang Ao.
No one was willing to do that!
After all, he had killed someone!
"No wonder Sun Shiwan suffered such a crushing defeat. Sometimes, humans really aren't as good as pigs!" Xu Lang murmured to himself, his brow furrowing.
This guy had already seized the first-mover advantage.
The survival game countdown hadn't ended yet, but competition between players had already begun!
Scavenging for supplies was the first round of competition!
Not everyone could be as lucky as Wang Ao to find upgrade blueprints. Many people considered having cardboard strapped to their hands as top-tier equipment.
Xu Lang quietly closed the chat room and checked his sleep rewards.
【Base Nightmare Coins 40, Conversion Rate 10%, 8-hour total output: 44 Nightmare Coins】
【Total Nightmare Coins: 44】
The extra 10% Nightmare Coin conversion rate from the Nightmare Small Bed only gave him 4 additional coins.
10 Nightmare Coins could upgrade a door. Wang Ao killed someone for a Level 1 blueprint, while he could upgrade four doors just by sleeping.
Thinking about the contrast this created, Xu Lang couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
However, he didn't upgrade his door immediately. Instead, he opened the Newcomer Gift Pack first.
【Obtained Whole Wheat Bread X3, Damaged Water Dispenser X1】
The patterns of the two items appeared in the backpack slots. The three whole wheat breads were stacked together, occupying only one slot.
...
【Whole Wheat Bread】
【Type: Food】
【Level: 0】
【Satiety: 30】
【Upgrade Condition: 5 Nightmare Coins】
【Introduction: If you eat sparingly, one piece of bread can last you a whole day, though it's a bit hard to swallow】
A whole wheat bread was about twice the size of Xu Lang's fists. It would definitely be enough to eat for a day, practically an apocalypse artifact.
Moreover, even food could be upgraded!
Xu Lang's eyes lit up as he checked the other item's attributes.
【Damaged Water Dispenser】
【Type: Facility】
【Level: 1】
【Water Capacity: 0/10 liters】
【Durability: 1/25 (Cannot be repaired)】
【Deconstruction Yield: Plastic X7, Filter X1】
【Upgrade Condition: 65 Nightmare Coins】
【Introduction: Wow, it's actually a rare Level 1 item! A Level 1 item from the Newcomer Gift Pack - the probability is like winning the lottery... Even though it's currently a piece of junk, you have to admit your luck is, really, very, bad!】
Reading the description gave Xu Lang a feeling of being mocked.
But he remained completely unfazed, even somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Bed, food, water, door!
Now he could truly lie flat and develop! All he needed was a phone to live the life of a shut-in!
The only concern was whether the water dispenser would be full after upgrading.
Just as Xu Lang was planning how to use his Nightmare Coins in his mind, footsteps suddenly came from the hallway outside.
Bang! Bang!
The door was knocked.
Immediately after, a clear, sweet voice sounded.
"Classmate Xu Lang, are you home?"
Xu Lang went to check the peephole and found a tall, fashionably dressed blonde girl standing outside.
She wore a baseball cap, her beautiful facial contours hidden in the shadow of the brim. Her shapely long legs were clad in thick black stockings, with white socks peeking out from her leather shoes - her charm was absolutely maxed out.
【Name: Cao Yaxuan】
【Experience: A worm that could die at any moment】
【Room Number: 20 (Tenant)】
【Comfort Level: 96 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 96%)】
