The Dorm Survival Game's voice had not yet faded when the Dusk Dormitory Building emitted a large amount of yellowish aura from its structure, like a chimney spewing yellow smoke.

Some deep-level changes, unknown to the players, were taking place.

"A betting agreement? Our building has a betting agreement with the Mad King Building?"

"Dusk Building, what's wrong with you!"

"Dusk Building, don't die!"

Although the players of the Dusk Building didn't know the specific inside story, they also understood that their own building had suffered a loss, and they immediately began wailing and howling like ghosts.

If the Dusk Building collapsed, they wouldn't have the courage to survive in the Blood Mist World.

Fortunately, the anomaly of the Dusk Building lasted for a while before returning to normal.

...

Over at the Mad King Building, things remained peaceful as usual. It was just that everyone knew the Mad King Building had probably done something very, very bad, screwing over the Dusk Building.

Tsk, we're all neighbors, yet they pull this kind of trick. The Mad King Building really has no class.

"It seems the situation has taken a turn."

Zhang Dahai was at the edge of the Safe Zone. After seeing the scenery outside become still, a line of unicycle robots charged into the Safe Zone.

"Human detected, human detected, human detected!!!"

More and more civilian robots appeared, rushing madly towards the depths of the Safe Zone, their target directly aimed at the dormitory building.

"Whew... these little guys are much friendlier."

Zhang Dahai patted his chest and withdrew his gaze.

...

Clang clang clang~

Rat-a-tat-tat~

Before the civilian robots could even get close to the dormitory building, they were mowed down in large swathes by the Turrets mounted on the Guardrail.

On the leaderboard, points began to jump.

Luo Lin was also operating a Turret to farm points.

There were only two people in her dorm, making point farming very inconvenient, so she had to do it herself.

"Xu Lang, the game difficulty has returned to normal," Cao Yaxuan said with a smile.

Looking at the civilian robots downstairs, she found them particularly amiable and kind.

Just as she was thinking this, the civilian robots pulled the triggers of their tasers, and several electrified darts flew over.

With a thought from Xu Lang, these several electrified darts spontaneously combusted, burning to ashes in an instant.

"Their attack range is a bit far, they can actually hit the tenth floor," Cao Yaxuan raised an eyebrow. The effective kill range of these robots might be within one to two hundred meters.

As she spoke, she condensed a row of ice spears and shot them whooshing towards those robots.

Not long after, this wave of civilian robots was wiped out without even entering the building.

Looking into the distance, one could see more civilian robots rushing over.

Seizing this opportunity, many players ran out to collect supplies.

Information about these supplies quickly spread in the chat room, making Xu Lang's eyes light up.

The richness of supplies was crucial to him.

These robots mainly dropped two types of things: one was Enchantment Gems, the other was design blueprints and raw materials for household facilities.

The army of civilian robots grew larger and larger, causing exclamations from the players.

"Damn, it feels like playing Kingdom Rush!"

"Brothers on the first and second floors, don't shoot the robots near the base of the building, leave them for our squad!"

"There's a wave of robots on the right, don't let them get close!"

"Holy crap, the Mad Vanguards are stealing kills!"

The players of the Mad King Building were getting into the groove, each one fierce as wolves and tigers, wishing their whole team could go downstairs to fight in melee.

How long had it been since they encountered such weak monsters?

A single attack from these monsters couldn't even penetrate their armor, can you believe it?

At this moment, they almost wanted to cry!

Bullets, electromagnetic darts, and other modern weapons looked intimidating, but the players of the Mad King Building were completely unafraid.

Because almost every Mad King Building player wore armor, and heavy armor at that.

There was no other way; the tiny bit of defense provided by light armor or leather armor simply couldn't keep up with the game's intensity, so Mad King Building players adored heavy armor.

Exceptions were agile-type players like Xu Ruyan and Zhang Dahai.

After about an hour, the monsters on the Mad King Building's side were completely cleared. Even standing at a high vantage point, no more monsters could be seen approaching.

The situation at the Dusk Building was similar.

In the first act, almost no players died.

After all the civilian robots were destroyed, the second act slowly unfolded.

[First Act "Betrayal" Ended]

[Second Act "Purification"]

[Game Background: The large-scale robot rebellion prompted an extremely rapid response from the Federation authorities. They immediately accessed Dawn City's central system, only to be shocked to discover their permissions had completely vanished. They could not issue any commands to the AI or the city system... Meanwhile, the intensity of the Intelligence Machinery rebellion continued to escalate. The former androids, who might have been your partner, butler, child, assistant, or held various other identities, now had only one identity: the antithesis of carbon-based lifeforms, the mortal enemy of carbon-based life, driven by absolute rationality and logic!]

[Game Duration: 0~4 hours]

Outside the Safe Zone, within that still cityscape painting, humanoid figures began to appear.

These beings' appearances were indistinguishable from humans, completely devoid of any mechanical characteristics, and they were even more perfect than humans.

Human strength, no matter how great, cannot surpass that of a machine.

Human endurance, no matter how good, cannot surpass that of a machine.

Human intelligence, no matter how high, cannot surpass that of a machine.

The bottom-tier overworked cattle of Dawn City were these androids. They were more excellent than humans, countless times more excellent.

Seeing them, Xu Lang's eyes erupted with a startling brilliance.

These partner robots... they have something going on...

They probably don't take up Tenant slots, right?

Even if the aesthetics of partner robots didn't align with his personal taste, their estimated Charm was probably above seventy points... maybe even higher. After all, higher-end partner machines should know a lot of tricks.

The quality of a partner robot largely depended on the lewdness quotient of its creator.

It was just unclear how human-like they actually were. If they were merely good-looking, then Xu Lang wouldn't be interested either.

"Xu Lang, how about we capture two robots to play with?" Cao Yaxuan suddenly suggested.

She stared at a cat-girl android holding a coffee tray, her eyes shining brightly.

In Xu Lang's eyes, these were partner androids, but in Cao Yaxuan's eyes, these were undoubtedly perfect household robots!
