The commotion caused by the fusion of the two dormitory building safe zones was minimal. It was like two scrolls merging and splicing together, without any earth-shattering tremors.

The greatest sound seems silent.

By the time the fusion was completely finished, the players hadn't even reacted yet.

"Is that it? It's over already?" Zhang Dahai stood at the edge of the plaza, muttering in a daze.

Tempered through several rounds of the game, and with his behavior aligning with that of an Edgewalker, he had already completed one Sequence promotion. Although he was currently standing on the periphery of the crowd, his presence was pitifully small, like a stone by the roadside.

The fusion of the Twilight Building had more than doubled the safe zone's area, dispersing a large swath of the Blood Mist in the sky.

"Ended?"

Countless players felt bewildered in their hearts.

The next moment, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.

Only this time, it was two Dormitory Broadcasts.

One was the familiar Mad King Building broadcast known to Mad King Building players. The other broadcast was bizarre and low, like the sigh of a desolate beast, something never heard before.

[Mad King Broadcast: From today onwards, Community No. 7 is established. Both sides share facilities. The Safety Line is a radius of three hundred meters around special buildings.]

[Twilight Broadcast: From today onwards, Community No. 7 is established. Both sides share facilities. The Safety Line is a radius of three hundred meters around special buildings.]

With the Dormitory Broadcasts sounding, everyone was completely certain—the community was truly established!

One player licked his lips, gathering his courage to walk towards the other end of the horizon.

Many players were like him, concealing themselves while moving closer to the edge.

These players were full of innovative and adventurous spirit. Such people are often the first to get the crab, but also easily poisoned.

There was a clear dividing line between the Twilight Building and the Mad King Building, a red-yellow line cutting through two different landscapes.

One side was a campus landscape, the other a factory landscape.

Mad King Building players arrived at the edge of the junction line but didn't see any Twilight Building players.

"Where are the Twilight Building players?"

"They wouldn't dare to come out, would they?"

"Who wants to go to the Twilight Building with me? I heard they have several special buildings!"

"Good grief, no players? I wanted to trade for some items!"

Some players spoke up, while others had flickering eyes.

These players drifted outside the core circle. They didn't know the Floor Leaders' policies, including the matter of completing the "limited-time task."

But the clever ones among them could more or less guess a part of it.

Right at that moment, a group of players wearing blue work uniforms ran out from the factory area of the Twilight Building.

They were jubilant. Seeing the Mad King Building players was like seeing family, and they called out eagerly.

"Fellow villagers, we finally meet you!"

"You're game players too, right? Hahaha!"

"I'm from Sichuan-Chongqing, are there any Sichuan-Chongqing people here?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Seeing these workers, the Mad King Building players had mixed thoughts.

Both sides stood still at the junction line, all extremely enthusiastic.

The Mad King Building players were even made to feel a bit uncomfortable.

In the small group chats, communication was constant.

First, these players didn't look strong at all. Each one had a Constitution so weak it was pitiful, only two or three times better than an ordinary person, incomparable to Mad King Building players.

Poor quality!

Naive!

The game intensity is probably not high!

This look of not having received a proper social education was exactly what the Mad King Building players loved!

"Come on, come on, come with us to the employee dormitories. The food produced there is delicious and can restore stamina after eating."

"Haha, the Mad King Building partnering with us might make the Twilight Building so happy it increases the appearance frequency of the Mystical Convenience Store. Do you want to come with me to find the Mystical Convenience Store?"

"I'll treat you to a meal, let's go!"

The Twilight Building players were extremely enthusiastic, even wanting to arrange a meal.

However, the Mad King Building players wore smiles on their faces, but their feet didn't move an inch.

"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down a bit." Right then, a Foreman raised a hand, pressing down.

Instantly, all the worker players fell silent.

This scene made many Mad King Building players' pupils contract.

Instant obedience to orders!

"Friends from the Mad King Building, are your leaders here?" The Twilight Building Foreman had a name tag hanging on his chest, the name reading "Wu Peng."

Mad King Building players led by Li Shuwen, Zhai Ren, and Zhang Sanfeng stepped forward.

Li Shuwen smiled faintly, "I am the third-floor Floor Leader of the Mad King Building. You can call me Old Li."

Uncle Wen is really cautious, not even willing to give his full name... Zhai Ren muttered to himself, following suit, "I am the fourth-floor Floor Leader, surname Zhai."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his Taoist robe, clasping his hands in greeting, "Surname Feng, others call me Mr. Feng."

This one was even more cunning, changing his surname.

"Let's exchange some information first." Wu Peng glanced at the three of them, pondering, "We currently have two thousand two hundred players, four hundred fixed dormitories. There are four days until the next round of the game begins. During this period, another two to three hundred people should relocate here. The average player Experience is twelve cycles."

"Your esteemed dormitory is an eighteen-cycle dormitory building, correct? How is the average player Experience only twelve cycles?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, cupping his hands.

Wu Peng raised a finger.

"This question I can choose not to answer."

"But for the sake of our harmonious coexistence in the future, I'll still tell you."

"Players relocating into the Twilight Building, unless through special means, will not exceed the building's own level. The Twilight Building is only Level 18, so it will at most recruit players up to the eighteenth cycle."

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes flashed.

This sounds slightly worse than the Mad King Building.

The Mad King Building recruits players by force-filling before the game, and at Level 6, it can recruit higher-cycle players.

"Alright, tell us about your situation. The Mad King Building's recruitment mechanism, average level, average comprehensive attributes." Wu Peng's attitude couldn't be called arrogant, but it also wasn't humble or ingratiating—neither subservient nor overbearing.

"Do you only have you as the person in charge?" Zhang Sanfeng asked again.

Wu Peng stared at Zhang Sanfeng, not speaking.

"Hehe, sorry, my mouth is a bit too chatty, please forgive me!" Zhang Sanfeng said with a jovial laugh.

Li Shuwen stood firm and imposing, revealing an elegant smile, "The Mad King Building has 200 fixed dormitories, ten floors. The average player Experience is six cycles. The conditions for recruiting players are quite unknown. Some new residents have high Experience, some new residents have low Experience. As for player comprehensive attributes, we don't know that either. That information is too private."

"Roughly?" Wu Peng frowned, "In your last round's game settlement, how many Free Attribute points did the top ten players have? How many did the bottom ten have?"

Although there are special aspects to the style and mechanisms between dormitory buildings, the general framework is common.

For example, Turret slots, and settlement rewards.

"Hehe, that's hard to say, really hard to say!" Zhang Sanfeng took over the conversation, his smile slick.

While the leaders from both sides were talking, Mad King Building players were also trying to converse with the Twilight Building's Common players.

However, those Twilight Building Common players appeared extremely taciturn. They would only answer simple questions and showed no desire to express themselves or explore.

"Then what special buildings do you have? To show our side's sincerity, I'll go first again this time." Wu Peng didn't dwell on it, changing the topic.

This demeanor made many people feel relieved.

However, Li Shuwen secretly frowned.

The other side's performance was too normal.

Their caution was just right, their friendliness was just right, and their behavioral motivation seemed entirely aimed at launching friendly cooperation.
