"Tong Qi, your name is Tong Qi, right?"

With the wandering ghosts cleared out, Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor immediately stepped forward.

"Hmm?" Tong Qi turned around, the Ghost Control Bells in her hand vibrating slightly, the fierce ghosts nurtured within ready to emerge at any moment.

Having been in the Dorm Survival Game for half a year now, Tong Qi was far from the innocent college girl who could be lured away with a crust of bread anymore. Her combat experience and mental fortitude had grown significantly, and she even had the title "Ghost Empress" among outsiders.

At this moment, facing the sudden approach of Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor, her eyes instinctively took on a scrutinizing look, completely different from the amiable and kind demeanor she showed in front of Xu Lang and the others.

"Is this your dormitory's Guardian Spirit?" Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor stopped, not getting too close, and pointed at the Ghost Child.

"That's right. Tong Bao specializes in suppressing evil ghosts. I helped you clear the monsters, no need to thank me." Tong Qi nodded.

Right then, the Ghost Child was already holding onto Tong Qi's finger, fussing and wanting to go somewhere else.

Watching the two children leave, Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor's brows relaxed, and then she glanced at the Platinum Luxury Apartment again.

"Boss, with them here, we might be able to clear a few more levels." A man dressed in a monk's robe said in a low voice.

He had a full beard, making it seem somewhat incongruous for him to call Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor "Boss."

In fact, he really was younger than Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor, only twenty-three this year, but he just had an uncle's face.

"Let's hope so." Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor nodded.

The monsters in the Netherworld were different from the monsters in the game; they didn't drop equipment or items. However, after clearing each level, the guide would give extremely generous rewards.

Therefore, there was no such thing as kill-stealing here. Having a strong teammate was something everyone welcomed.

Before using the Netherworld Invitation, Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor had been fortunate enough to learn some information about this place, otherwise she wouldn't have come.

"Boss Wudou advised us to quit after clearing two levels..." Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor pondered for a moment, watching the domineering scene of the Ghost Child devouring everything in its path, and said softly, "With that Guardian Spirit, perhaps we can try to break through the third level."

"That might not be a good idea!" The man in the monk's robe was greatly alarmed and immediately refuted, "Boss Wudou almost died on the Yellow Springs Road. Even though our combat strength isn't weaker than their dormitory, our dormitory facilities are much worse."

Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor shook her head and said, "Hard to say."

This kind of thing couldn't be decided on the spot; it depended on the game's difficulty.

The second wave of wandering ghosts was soon completely cleared out by the Ghost Child.

And the Ghost Child's level skyrocketed all the way to level thirteen.

"This is practically like coming to a leveling spot!"

From within the shadows, even Xu Ruyan felt a bit envious of the Ghost Child's leveling speed.

After clearing the monsters, Tong Qi didn't go home. Instead, she stood at the entrance of the Platinum Luxury Apartment, gazing into the gray mist, seemingly anticipating something.

Before long, the gray mist began to churn.

"Be careful. What's coming next are the 'Wrongful Death Ghosts.' Their attacks on the walls will also damage your dormitory doors!" The voice of the Deliverance from Calamity Nether Envoy boomed like thunder, offering a thoughtful reminder.

Tong Qi raised her guard and summoned the Golden Knife Ghost.

[Golden Knife Ghost: Level 18 Uncommon Special Ethereal Form. Wears heavy armor, skilled with a golden knife. The metallic killing aura on its body has special effectiveness against ghostly creatures.]

With the resources from two buildings combined, the members of the Platinum Luxury Dormitory were well-fed, and Tong Qi's Ghost Pets also rose with the tide, all reaching above level fifteen.

However, Rare ghost creatures were too scarce. Tong Qi only had a few main ones she was cultivating right now.

"They're coming!" Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor led her people back to the dormitory entrance, her gaze grave as she looked at the gray mist on her side.

They saw resentful ghosts rushing out from within the gray mist. They had died tragic deaths, their bodies exuding Yin Energy.

Moreover, they seemed to come from various worlds. Some wore ancient clothing, others modern attire, all shouting ghostly words about grievances and seeking replacements.

Whoosh~

Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor condensed a Contemplation Bullet in her hand and threw it into the group of Wrongful Death Ghosts, instantly blowing one ghost's head apart.

Immediately after, this Wrongful Death Ghost's head turned into smoke and reformed!

Seeing more and more Wrongful Death Ghosts appearing, Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor led her people back inside the dormitory!

"Damn it, why is the door's Durability dropping!"

Suddenly, a Tenant exclaimed in alarm.

Even though no monsters were near the door. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly rushed out of the room and was shocked to find Wrongful Death Ghosts attacking the walls of the Epiphany Abode!

"Boss Wudou didn't mention this kind of monster either. How disgusting!" The man in the monk's robe cursed.

Now, they couldn't just stay inside the house either. Everyone mobilized, engaging the Wrongful Death Ghosts in a chaotic battle.

Their killing speed couldn't keep up with the spawn rate of the Wrongful Death Ghosts.

Before long, someone needed to go back to replenish their status.

"Sister Nian..." The man in the monk's robe looked at Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor.

"You go back first. I'll hold them off for a bit. We can't let these monsters surround us!" Hundred Flowers Contemplation Emperor, with Contemplation Qi swirling around her, quickly dispatched the Wrongful Death Ghosts.

...

A very interesting scene unfolded on the other side of the battlefield.

Around the Thousand Illusions Dormitory, the Wrongful Death Ghosts came to a halt.

They stared blankly at the Thousand Illusions Dormitory, seemingly hypnotized by some sort of illusion.

Several players from the Celestial Demon Building were outside the dormitory, leisurely strolling and killing these Wrongful Death Ghosts.

Just then, a Celestial Demon Building player noticed a blank spot in the corner of his vision—all the Wrongful Death Ghosts there were gone.

He turned his head and saw the duo with special pupils.

"Hey, hey, hey, little beauty, you've crossed the line. This is our assigned area!" He quickly spoke up to stop them.

Tong Qi looked over and noticed this Celestial Demon Building player held a black pot in his hand, which seemed capable of harvesting the essence left behind after the Wrongful Death Ghosts died.

"Yayayayaya!!!"

The Ghost Child pointed at the black pot, extremely excited.

The meaning was—this item is fated for me!

Tong Qi patted the Ghost Child's little bald head and said to the Celestial Demon Building player, "The resources here belong to everyone. It's about who kills faster."

The Celestial Demon Building player looked Tong Qi up and down, then suddenly changed the subject, grinning, "Little beauty, are you out here all alone? No one following you around?"

"Ma Liang, don't cause trouble!" Another tall Celestial Demon Building player nudged him and looked at Tong Qi, "Take the resources if you want. This is just the first level, second wave of monsters. It doesn't matter."

The young man named Ma Liang immediately looked displeased, his thick eyebrows furrowing.

The members of the Platinum Luxury Apartment were all stunningly beautiful, making them suspect there was some beautifying dormitory function. They had discussed it together inside the dormitory earlier.

"Xu Dong, you're just pretending to be proper."

"Shut up!"

While the two were arguing, a figure walked over.

It was Tong Qi.

"Hand over that thing in your hand!" Tong Qi's voice was icy cold, her black pupils like dark jade, her long hair moving without wind, faintly exuding strands of terrifying aura.

The two Celestial Demon Building members instinctively took a step back.

Then Ma Liang pointed at Tong Qi in disbelief, "You... you're robbing me?"

"Give it, or not!" Tong Qi said coldly.

"Do you know where I'm from?!" Ma Liang's face also turned cold, "Bitch, don't think just because I gave you a bit of a smile, you're actually somebody!"

The next instant!

A dark red, alluring shadow suddenly charged forth violently!

Senior Sister Red Butterfly burst out from within Tong Qi, swinging her scythe at Ma Liang.

"The way you were looking at me pissed me off!!!" Her face was filled with a sickly yet maniacal smile.

This fierce ghost was extremely eager for slaughter!

Ma Liang and Xu Dong never expected that the people from the Platinum Luxury Apartment would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. Were they all manic-depressive or something?!
