Closing the door, the Scarred Man breathed a sigh of relief, his expression shifting uncertainly.

Next, everyone read the standard precautions sent over by Zhou Ye, summarizing the following points that differed from other dormitories.

First, there is a Dormitory Affairs Inspection Department here, responsible for census surveys of player information, and an Inspection Department, maintaining order within the safe zones. These organizations, similar to civilian groups, are veritable official institutions in the Mad King Building!

Second, next to the Mad King Building, there is also a Twilight Building, which is also under the control of that Six-Time Champion Dorm Owner.

Third, players from both buildings need to pay taxes!

Damn!

Seeing the tax requirement, the Scarred Man felt like his worldview had completely collapsed, but he quickly calmed down.

The residence tax is very small, mostly symbolic.

The tax for entering and exiting strongholds is also minimal, only one hundred Copper Coins per trip.

But thinking about the total population of both buildings, the Scarred Man still felt this was a terrifyingly large number.

This further corroborated one of his conjectures.

The ruling methods here are extremely strong, and they are overwhelmingly, invincibly strong!

He had no doubt that if he didn't follow the rules, his door would be broken down and he'd be killed!

Although he hadn't seen heads rolling, being able to establish such a strict order within the Dorm Survival Game was itself a terrifying display of authoritative deterrence!

...

【Mad King Building 178/200】

【Twilight Building 310/400】

The total population of the Mad King Building is 890 people, averaging 5 players per dorm room.

The total population of the Twilight Building is 1470 people, also averaging 5 players per dorm room.

Logically, the Twilight Building is older, has more veteran players who moved in, and its dorm levels should be higher, allowing them to accommodate more people.

But that's not the case.

The survival rate in the Twilight Building is acceptable, but since only the top ten dorms level up each cycle, the dorm levels in the Twilight Building are generally not high.

The high-population dorms all belonged to Factory Heads and Managers. After Xu Lang killed them, the average population dropped.

Xu Lang felt this was a great pity.

The highest-level dorm in the Twilight Building reached a full level 18, which was Rokurokubi's dorm, capable of accommodating up to nineteen tenants!

This is exactly what Xu Lang found regrettable.

The Noble Nightmare Bed is too small!

Right now, it's not a lack of tenant slots, but insufficient bed space. Otherwise, he would have already changed dorms.

Although the Mad King Building is appealing, Xu Lang hasn't forgotten what his foundation is.

Currently, that level 18 dorm has been given by Xu Lang to Li Shuwen, and the other Factory Head dorms have also been handed over to others.

Saying it was a "gift" is actually just pretty talk.

In the future, the natural resources and monster resources from the Twilight Building will all be funneled into the three institutions Xu Lang established.

Dormitory Affairs Inspection Department: Minister Cao Yaxuan, Deputy Ministers Zhou Ye and Su Yuan.

Inspection Department: Minister Wang Yazhi, Deputy Ministers Ayiguli and Zheng Kai.

Taxation Department: Minister Tong Qi, Deputy Minister Wu Huihui.

The authority of these three institutions is even higher than that of Floor Leaders, and they are integrated under the "Mad King Community Committee." Committee members include Li Shuwen, Wu Huihui, Zhang Sanfeng, and other players with outstanding strength.

Xu Lang guessed blindly that other dormitory buildings would arrive in the future to form a community, hence he chose this name.

He is the Committee Chairman, possessing veto power, which is very useful.

It's worth mentioning that the Inspection Department is only responsible for maintaining order, not for upholding justice.

There was internal debate within Dorm 200 about this matter, but this tone was ultimately set.

In the end, everyone is still in the extreme environment of the Dorm Survival Game. Some players who feel they might be eliminated in the Elimination Round, pushed to their limits, will definitely take desperate risks. So, waving the banner of justice would be too hypocritical and meaningless.

Moreover, with Xu Lang's reputation being what it is, even if he said that, others would doubt it.

Forget about breaking down doors and killing people before; he just killed several hundred Twilight Building players not long ago!

That record is just too damn terrifying!

You need to know that even killing players from the same community incurs Blood Grudge!

Killing several hundred players during a rest period is simply not something a human would do!

If not for this, the Twilight Building players back then wouldn't have been caught so off guard. At most, they would have captured prisoners, but the Mad King Building players directly drew their blades.

As for Blood Grudge, the Mad King Building players don't care.

After all, no matter how high their Blood Grudge gets, it can't surpass Xu Lang's.

These past two days, Dorm 200 has been busy day and night integrating the affairs of the two dormitory buildings, with basically no time for Pioneering.

The results were naturally good. Xu Lang kept his Nightmare Eye active the whole time, uncovering quite a few talented individuals.

Without the census, you wouldn't know; once it was done, they discovered there were quite a few hidden High-Level Players within the Mad King Building. They had just been overshadowed by him before.

The only fly in the ointment is that Herd Spirits cannot obtain player status. Otherwise, Xu Lang wouldn't need to cultivate talent.

Having Herd Spirits become players is a bit too abstract. The Dorm Survival Game indicated it doesn't accept that. "Although I have a lot of junk inside me, you can't actually hollow me out!"

"Finally, I can get some proper rest." Xu Lang stretched, feeling a long-lost sense of fatigue.

These past two days had exhausted him, and he had taken action quite a few times during this period.

"Not yet!" Cao Yaxuan walked over, blowing a puff of cold air on the back of Xu Lang's neck, and said, "The game types for the next two instances have been determined. We need to think about how to install the Turrets."

Xu Lang reached back and pulled Cao Yaxuan into his arms, laughing, "Oh, wise and resourceful Senior Sister Cao, quickly tell me your ideas."

The two of them didn't discuss business for long, but they had a lot of fun playing around.

Xu Xiaomeng's ears turned red, feeling she couldn't even focus on playing the game anymore.

...

Recently, items with ghost and monster elements have been frequently appearing in the Twilight Building.

Within the safe zones of the Mad King Building, mechanical constructs have been frequently appearing, and someone even found a miniature nuclear reactor.

That item is now lying in Xu Lang's backpack—a level 16 Legendary item. Although it cannot be detonated, it can be used as raw material or as a component for design blueprints.

This basically confirms that the next round of the game will be a sci-fi-themed instance.

Tong Qi seemed somewhat listless. After she told Ghost Child about the situation, Ghost Child also learned to look dejected.

If it's a sci-fi instance, players on the mystical side like them won't be as favored, and items within their power system won't be easy to obtain.

Not a single person in Dorm 200 specializes in this area.

"Xu Lang, if the next game round is sci-fi type, why are you still installing three 'Hundred Ghosts Chain Cannons'?" On the tenth-floor corridor, Cao Yaxuan watched Xu Lang's operations, somewhat puzzled.

The prototype of the Hundred Ghosts Chain Cannon was a type of Turret from the Twilight Building, level 18, Rare grade. After Xu Lang fused them, it became the current Uncommon grade Hundred Ghosts Chain Cannon.

Since it was just a temporary measure, he didn't upgrade it using Nightmare Coins.

"Have you forgotten our invitation?" Xu Lang smiled.

"Hehehe, this lady is also going to become a Sequence Holder!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly stood behind Xu Lang, her beautiful black-stockinged legs pressed together, round and straight. She wore a mischievous smile: "The remaining employment conditions for the Yin-Yang Ghost Official Sequence are within the Netherworld. Xu Lang already told me, it can't be wrong!"

Cao Yaxuan immediately felt a bit envious and said discontentedly, "Xu Lang, how did you know?"

Of course, it was clues revealed by the Nightmare Eye!

Xu Lang laughed, "The name 'Yin-Yang Ghost Official' clearly has something to do with Ghost Officials. And that Netherworld Invitation was also given to me by a Ghost Official. If we can meet that Ghost Official again, we'll definitely learn some clues."

Although the Netherworld Invitation is bait released by the "Nether Lord and Underworld Elder," with Ghost Child, River Mouth Child, and Lion Cub all present, not playing with this invitation would feel like a huge loss to Xu Lang.

After using the Netherworld Invitation, the entire dorm will enter the Netherworld.

Even if something really goes wrong, if they die, they die together—what a harmonious and beautiful outcome.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Xu Lang doesn't want to use Epitaph.
