One night passed.

Today is the third day of the rest period.

[Base Nightmare Coins 1280, Conversion Rate 3368%, eight-hour total output 43110 Nightmare Coins, "Concubine Quarters" additionally provides 1030% conversion rate, four-hour total output 6592 Nightmare Coins, total 50982 Nightmare Coins]

[Total Nightmare Coins: 456742]

[Attributes: Constitution 365, Spirit 365, Seven Killings Blood Qi 100, Pure Yang True Qi 100]

Waking up from sleep, Xu Lang checked his own information changes and immediately felt a great sense of hope.

"Pure Yang Immortal-Seeking Technique actually gave me 20 attribute points in one day, that's too overpowered. The gold standard of a level ten Epic cultivation technique is truly high!"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Lang suppressed his desire to reinforce the Pure Yang Immortal-Seeking Technique.

He was only halfway to the one million Nightmare Coins mark.

Moreover, today was the day the community would be established. If the Twilight Building was truly invincibly strong, he might have to use his Nightmare Coins to save his life.

Speak of the devil. Just as Xu Lang was thinking this, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.

[The Dusk Dormitory Building will merge with the Mad King Dormitory Building at noon to form a community]

[Countdown—4:00]

[Reminder: Twilight Building residents possess a special form, "Twilight Form." Combat power increases significantly during twilight celestial phenomena.]

[To facilitate friendly exchanges with the Twilight Building and ensure the safety of this building's residents, the SAN value characteristic is unsealed and will take effect during rest periods.]

[Each Mad King Building resident has an initial SAN value of 100. For every 1 point it decreases, base attributes are reduced by 1%. At zero, complete madness is attained, granting the new identity "Mad Vanguard."]

[Mad Vanguard: Possesses a brand new life system, permanently loses "Reason," "Logic," "Common Sense," "Humanity," and "Animal Nature." Swears to defend the Mad King Building to the death. Will attack all targets not aligned with the Mad King Building faction. Immortal and indestructible. Will quickly resurrect after death.]

[The top three residents with the most stable SAN values during game time will obtain Sequence Residue of "Old God-S???". This rule remains unchanged.]

[Now issuing the community mission "Mad Reversal": Kill one hundred Twilight Building players. Upon completion, the SAN value characteristic will undergo a reversal. For every 1 point it decreases, base attributes will increase by 1%. This mission is limited to completion within this round's rest period. Open to all Mad King Building residents. Current completion: "0".]

[Now issuing community rules. Mad King Building residents must strictly adhere to them.]

[1. Do not cross the "Safety Line" to attack residents of other dormitory buildings. Violators will suffer a 10x damage Backlash.]

[2. Do not maliciously destroy other dormitory buildings, causing community members to be unable to proceed to the next round of the game.]

[3. Residents from both sides may use the special buildings within the other side's Safe Zone, but must pay double the fee.]

A string of Dormitory Broadcasts left everyone stunned.

"Mad Vanguard, what the hell is that?"

"Damn, they want us to kill Twilight Building players. Sure enough, we got the mutual combat script. I was genuinely hoping for cooperation!"

"Did you guys notice, this time the Dormitory Broadcast didn't call us players, but residents. Is there some hidden meaning in that?"

"I wonder if we'll face a common enemy in future games, or even during Building Wars."

"Someone with broad knowledge, come explain how this community thing is supposed to work!"

"This purely depends on the dormitory building's style. If it were dormitory buildings like 'Paradise Building' or 'Vast Sky Building,' cooperation would definitely be possible."

"Quick, notify the Floor Leader, tell him to stop Pioneering and come back to prepare!"

"Dammit, a time-limited mission. We have to complete it. It's just killing a hundred people!"

"..."

In Dorm 200, Cao Yaxuan and the other women were all startled awake. They looked at each other, their expressions changing.

Not long after, Wu Huihui, Ayiguli, Luo Lin, and other women all arrived at the entrance of Dorm 200.

Although they had long known there would be conflict between the two dormitories, none had expected it to be so blatant.

This side was already issuing a kill mission. Would the other side just sit idly by?

So, only your Mad King Building is a tough nut, and the others are soft persimmons?

High-level players were fine, but some Bottom-tier Players were truly at a loss.

They had more issues to consider.

Namely, whether the high-level players on both sides would play a script of mutual sacrifice, all happily together.

The atmosphere among all the Mad King Building players grew tense. Everyone felt uneasy. Information in the chat room began to dwindle, shifting instead to communication within their own small groups.

One-time-use items on the Trading Network were swept up in large quantities, their prices soon skyrocketing.

No player who had survived until now was a fool.

...

Twilight Building, Factory.

The roar of the workshop was like an eternal noise. Workers' sweat was ground into the air, stuffy and reeking of sourness.

When they first arrived, everyone would feel uncomfortable, but after a long time, they could instead hum softly in their hearts, monotonously recording the passage of time.

All around were various slogans, praising the greatness of the workers.

A silver ingot slid along the conveyor belt to the front, was picked up by a large, black, shiny hand, placed into a mold slot beside it, shaped by the stamping press, and then tossed into a material basket by the large hand.

Today was the one hundredth day since A'gan became a Twilight Building player, and also his one hundredth day as a worker.

The Twilight Building had over two thousand players. Only two hundred players were the predators; the rest were enslaved laborers.

The special buildings here required "workers" to produce equipment and supplies.

And the Earth human race was a species very suitable for being used as workers.

The workers wearing blue uniforms in the workshop were all enslaved human players.

Although they had to work twenty hours a day, whenever A'gan thought of the female worker Yang Qian in the neighboring factory, a light would shine in his eyes.

As long as he saved up two more months of wages, Yang Qian had promised to be with him.

"Little Qian is so beautiful. She didn't go with the foreman, but agreed to be with me. She must truly love me!"

"In this miserable world, Little Qian is one of the few genuine human feelings!"

"I need to work even harder!"

Just as he was repeating this fantasy he had thought of countless times, shouts suddenly erupted outside the factory building.

"Woooooooh!!!"

"Did everyone receive the Dormitory Broadcast?"

"We're finally forming a community!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Those were the voices of the predators.

A'gan blinked, his hand subconsciously reaching for the silver ingot. Then he blinked hard again, suddenly realizing a Dormitory Broadcast was sounding in his mind!

However, he did not stop working.

Hmph, grand narratives, what do they have to do with my monthly salary of three thousand?

Suddenly, a foreman rushed into the workshop, shouting loudly:

"Workshop production is suspended! Everyone rests for four hours!"

"There's something big to do in four hours!"

"Rest immediately, right now!"

"Rejoice!"

Upon hearing this, A'gan immediately played dead, falling over and going to sleep.

Young people, their sleep quality is just that good.

A large number of workers, just like him, lay down on the ground and started sleeping.

"Dammit, don't understand gratitude at all, only know how to sleep!" the foreman cursed, hurriedly heading to the next workshop.
