Demon Box World.

Seeing that Evil Furry Grain was fine, Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

He had managed to find Evil Furry Grain thanks to a tracking skill he had learned earlier.

"You didn't die, you really are lucky." He patted Evil Furry Grain, his tone filled with emotion.

Evil Furry Grain could be resurrected with currency after death, but dying wasn't a pleasant experience, and it could very well leave a psychological scar on the dog's life.

"Woof woof woof!"

Evil Furry Grain burst out from its coffin, resurrected at full health, its little tail wagging furiously.

"Come on, let's go home."

The encounter with the Blood-Dressed Woman was nothing more than a minor incident.

Xu Lang's original plan remained unchanged. He rushed back to the Mad King Building as fast as he could, then went home!

Cao Yaxuan and the others were still sleeping.

Xu Lang couldn't wait and immediately took out the Data Obelisk to check its properties.

Hmm?

The information hadn't changed at all.

But that didn't matter; the Dorm Survival Game's interface always liked to mess with people anyway.

He then used his Nightmare Eye to probe it, but after examining it for quite a while, he still couldn't find any special information!

Xu Lang felt like the sky was falling!

The Data Obelisk could still only upgrade the dormitory once, exactly the same as before!

"Impossible, could it be that I'm looking at it from the wrong angle?"

"Damn it, I didn't get ripped off, did I? No wonder upgrading once was so cheap; it was all a waste!"

Xu Lang was completely crushed, his face burning hot, faintly showing signs of reddening.

After downing two glasses of cold boiled water, Xu Lang used the Data Obelisk with a thought.

Instantly, the Data Obelisk shattered with a crack, unleashing an endless stream of data that surged into the ceiling.

Soon, the entire dormitory was covered by the data stream, with flowing numbers on all the walls.

A brand new scene unfolded before Xu Lang's eyes.

And he himself was swallowed up by this scene.

Evil Furry Grain saw Xu Lang enveloped in a mass of colorful light and shadows, barked twice, came over and tugged at his pants leg. Seeing no effect, it hurriedly ran to the Nightmare Bed to call Cao Yaxuan and the others.

...

On a pitch-black realm, five dwellings stood before Xu Lang.

The soles of Xu Lang's feet pressed against the ground, feeling as if he were stepping on an inky black body of water, sending ripples spreading out in all directions.

"Is this an illusion?" He looked up at the five dwellings of completely different styles ahead of him, inwardly surprised.

From left to right.

The first house looked like an Asura's gateway, rolling with bloodthirsty and murderous aura, with swords and knives clashing on the door!

The second resembled a medieval castle, guarded by shadowy soldiers at the entrance, with many turret slots on the walls!

The third had a grotesque black-and-purple style, with a writhing doormat, tentacles growing on the walls, and a vine-like chimney emitting an aura of chaos and disorder!

The fourth was a modern high-end villa... though calling it modern was more like futuristic; a digital stream of light floated on the blue-and-white walls, full of creativity!

The fifth dwelling was the most exaggerated; a tiny little house made entirely of gold, dazzling and mesmerizing at a single glance!

Just then, a notification from the Dorm Survival Game popped up.

【Please trial all five dormitories and choose the one you desire within 30 minutes】

Xu Lang stood still, not entering any of the dormitories, instead fully activating his Nightmare Eye to discern the strengths and weaknesses of each one.

"The Asura Home... initially has twelve Tenant slots and twelve turret slots... The Dorm Owner, Tenants, and guests can kill each other, and the victor can inherit the other's assets. It can even forcibly invite guests to the family Coliseum... This kind of dormitory, only a madman would choose it."

"Demon King Castle... initially has twenty Tenant slots and twelve turret slots... For every level it gains, it can add one additional turret slot. What a King of Firepower!"

"Primordial God Chamber... initially has twelve Tenant slots and twelve turret slots... That is just ridiculous. If the dormitory is destroyed, it can reverse time. The higher the level, the more reversals it gets. It also has a Monster Affinity effect, where monsters usually don't attack."

"Evolution Dormitory... initially has twelve Tenant slots and twelve turret slots... The Dorm Owner gains 3 Free Attributes daily, and other players gain 1. It also comes with an underground Alchemy Workshop, focusing on both mysticism and technology. Is this even fair? And the core gameplay seems to be creation and analysis."

"Golden House... initially has ten Tenant slots and ten turret slots... It comes with five copper ore veins, three silver ore veins, and quintupled wealth luck. At the end of each round, there's also a 30% chance of producing a single Gold Coin!"

Xu Lang's heart raced with excitement.

All five of these dormitories were incredibly top-tier!

Keep in mind, these were just the initial stats at level ten. As the dormitories upgraded later, they would unlock even more functions!

If Xu Lang were to personally test all five dormitories, half an hour would definitely not be enough.

But now, under the observation of his Nightmare Eye, the functions of all five dormitories were completely laid bare, and he could even see their hidden capabilities that weren't outwardly apparent.

If talking about operation, the Golden House was absolutely the most suitable.

Never mind the ore veins, just the quintupled wealth luck alone was enough to make anyone fiercely envious.

The higher the wealth luck, the higher the quality of monster drops!

And Xu Lang killed a massive number of monsters in every round of the game, with almost ninety percent of them dying right in front of the dormitory.

However, the Golden House also had a significant flaw; the number of Tenant slots and turret slots was too few.

"Every dormitory has its strengths and flaws..."

"The strengths are huge, so huge they're outrageous, while the flaws only exist compared to the equivalent of a normal dormitory, making them seem not so prominent!"

"The Asura Home is out of the question; I'm not some kind of demon."

"The Primordial God Chamber is a bit lacking. Time reversal looks good on the surface, and it might become very strong in the future, being able to use time reversal indefinitely or something... but there's no way it can be strong across the early, mid, and late stages."

"The Evolution Dormitory gives me 3 Free Attributes every day. Combined with the Life Contract, that's six points... and when you factor in the Free Attributes the Tenants gain, it's really quite a lot!"

"The Golden House is the top-tier wealth generation dormitory, but it provides almost no combat power boost, and the limited number of Tenant slots is a fatal weakness."

"The Demon King Castle starts with twenty Tenant slots right from the beginning, allowing for the use of a human wave tactic right off the bat... Although I don't really need Tenants to go to the battlefield, who says a human wave tactic can only be used off the bed?"

After weighing his options, Xu Lang finally walked towards the Demon King Castle.

Stats are beauty. The Demon King Castle had an incredible number of Tenant slots and turret slots.

After the Nightmare Bed was upgraded, he didn't know exactly how many Tenants it could accommodate, but having more Tenant slots was definitely better.

In truth, the Demon King Castle also had its downsides.

That was the Mad King Building's iteration speed was too fast. Low-tier turrets would be unable to hold their ground by the next round, and there was no way he could upgrade every single turret.

There was a way to break this deadlock, though, and that was to find a supportive-type turret that could boost the damage of all other turrets. This type of turret was also extremely rare.

Moreover, quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes!

The Demon King Castle would absolutely be formidable in the late-late game, provided it could upgrade its dormitory every single game!

In the last few minutes, Xu Lang emerged from the Demon King Castle, a look of complete satisfaction on his face.
