I can't let all of you have one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, how about this? Later, when I return to my dorm, I'll upload it to the auction house. Those of you with quick hands can buy it yourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the fairest way. Everyone has a chance to buy one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fair! Fair! Still fucking fair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lang actually didn't say 'highest bidder wins'; instead, he gave every player a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf howls immediately erupted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no exaggeration. Some players were so excited they genuinely howled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The equation was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lang Ge, can you confirm the time? Exactly what time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe two minutes, maybe three. I'll list it on the Trading Network the moment I get back to my dorm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lang didn't want to drag out the anticipation for too long, as the players' purchasing enthusiasm might wane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the respectful send-off from the players, Xu Lang returned to the dormitory building at a steady pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news had already spread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was waiting for Xu Lang to return to his dorm, simultaneously opening the Trading Network, their eyes glued to the screen, refusing to blink even when they ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lang's Sixth Sense detected someone in the stairwell, so he stepped onto the wall and ascended, making his way back to the tenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene startled the players, who hurriedly opened the Trading Network!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong and his teammates were also staring at the Trading Network. Before this, they had already discussed it; they could buy if the price was under two hundred thousand Copper Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he saw Xu Lang list an item priced at one hundred thousand Copper Coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to check the item information when the item vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit, gone in a second! I only just saw the icon!\" Wu Tong cursed loudly. \"Who bought it? Find out who it was for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't the only one cursing loudly. Many people present were instantly red with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had shattered their dream of becoming a Three-Time Champion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just which bastard did it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a dark-skinned player exclaimed in surprise, \"Xu Lang has listed a Low-Level Blood Crystal again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong quickly opened the Trading Network. \"Where?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's gone!\" the dark-skinned player replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-skinned player was utterly broke; otherwise, he would have bought it earlier instead of notifying others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" Wu Tong cursed again, his mentality starting to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-skinned player cried out in alarm, \"Quick, look at the Trading Network! Xu Lang just listed eight Low-Level Blood Crystals at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong felt like vomiting blood. He hurriedly summoned the Trading Network again and swiftly purchased one Low-Level Blood Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level is a bit low...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong frowned, then immediately chose to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped Xu Lang wasn't scamming people. Otherwise, that would be too damn evil, playing with trust like it was a money-printing machine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred thousand Copper Coins. He even felt a tiny bit of heartache, considering an ordinary Level Four skill only cost twenty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong called out to his Tenant and left the supermarket, heading to an open area to test the Blood Contract Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was unexpectedly good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong felt his own explosive power had increased by at least a quarter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Low-Level Blood Crystals are absolutely worth this price!\" A faint smile tugged at the corner of Wu Tong's mouth as he looked at a man with a robust physique. \"Sorry, Ah Nuo, I only managed to buy one Low-Level Blood Crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his dormitory, both he and Ah Nuo favored close-combat styles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine...\" Ah Nuo's expression was deep. Halfway through his sentence, his pupils contracted slightly. \"Anyway, Xu Lang will sell more tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tong's heart jolted. He quickly opened the chat room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Xu Lang: Tomorrow at 7 AM, I will list another batch of Low-Level Blood Crystals!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Making money is as easy as breathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dorm 200, Xu Lang lay on the sofa while Cao Yaxuan massaged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While shopping at the supermarket, he had seen a massage skill scroll and bought it on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lang Ge, you're truly a marketing master!\" Xu Xiaomeng said with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, Low-Level Blood Crystals are inherently worth that price,\" Xu Lang replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, players were poor, so he didn't want to exploit them. Now that players have become more affluent, the timing is just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ruyan said with a light smile, \"After the dormitory building iteration, the Trading Network's auction mode was perfected. If you were willing to cut deeper, you could actually earn a bit more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all the money ends up with me, it would definitely be used to buy top-tier goods, and that would only warp the dormitory building's monetary ecosystem... That's something no one wants to see,\" Xu Lang shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ruyan was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she had personally experienced this kind of \"big-picture thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, she hadn't stood at this height and hadn't considered this aspect. But now that Xu Lang mentioned it, she immediately understood and even thought of more implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Lang hasn't been wealthy for long, yet he already has this kind of mindset...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ruyan felt gratified that she had followed the right person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the late Ming Dynasty, wealthy families preferred burying gold and silver in the ground rather than funding the state. Human greed is very hard to restrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk, players these days are really rich,\" Cao Yaxuan suddenly sighed. \"Veteran Players brought in a batch of money. Now that the map has expanded, there are also more Supply Points. With good luck, a single Copper Coin Treasure Chest can yield tens of thousands of Copper Coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, that's just how survival games are,\" Xu Ruyan said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inflation in the Dorm Survival Game is severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's a saying among players: Top-tier goods in the first cycle are exclusive to high-level players in the second cycle, become standard for ordinary players in the third cycle, and by the fourth cycle, even dogs wouldn't want them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this price difference isn't driven by the players themselves; it's inherent to the Dorm Survival Game. Items of the same level in the supermarket see a significant price drop by the second cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This actually also gives the lowest-level players a bit of breathing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, differences between dormitory buildings must also be considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some dormitory buildings, having a Level Five door by the fifth game cycle is considered pretty good. But in a place like the Mad King Dormitory Building, having a Level Four door by the third cycle isn't even safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no absolute laws for dormitory buildings. Apart from the Three Iron Laws, any other patterns can only be treated as experiential advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Lang, I heard you bought a lot of skills,\" Cao Yaxuan continued massaging his shoulders, her eyes sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of them suit you guys. They're just for collection,\" Xu Lang shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from passive skills, having too many skills isn't necessarily a good thing; it can lead to confusion during combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing a virtual game, you can't even chain four skills smoothly. Real combat is complex and ever-changing. If you truly have too many skills, your brain is bound to overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and it was already the next morning. While listening to the radio, Xu Lang casually listed ten Low-Level Blood Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were gone in seconds again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The later the cycle, the richer the players become.\u003C\u002Fp>",1299,"2026-06-05T14:17:38.714Z",1,"novelbin.me","f020231efc2f7622bed57afa9c981ed68cb26097e635bd284b02da343d61a069","fierce-horror-dorm-take-a-concubine-to-get-stron-chapter-163","fierce-horror-dorm-take-a-concubine-to-get-stron-chapter-161",481,null]
