“I choose you, Nightmare Apostle!”

The Royal Nightmare Bed transformed at lightning speed, its dimensions expanding rapidly while becoming more magnificent and mysterious. The platinum main body gained a touch of deep purple that flowed faintly, like a purple galaxy spread across the night sky.

Information regarding the Nightmare Lord sequence displayed before Xu Lang.

【Introduction: Now, I have apostles. They are my agents within dreams, the subconscious, and cognitive layers, as well as the top-tier intelligence officers, infiltrators, and mental strategists. In my most prolonged dreams, they will come to pay homage, fulfill duties, and present their reports!】

“The bed is this big, this is going to take off!” Xu Lang's first concern wasn't the new Nightmare Apostle trait, but the bed's size.

Big, big, too big!

After the Nightmare Bed upgraded, the comfort level increased, and a look of contentment appeared on the girls' faces. Zhen Lu, Wang Yazhi, and Xu Ruyan were startled awake by Xu Lang's shout.

“Xu Lang, what's wrong, what took off?” Zhen Lu opened her eyes, not immediately noticing the change in the bed.

“Taking off means taking off!” Xu Lang laughed like a flying bat, soaring up in joy.

In a fantastic mood, he was going to reward Zhen Lu and the others generously.

These were his loyal ministers who had rendered outstanding service!

...

Rewards were rewards, but Xu Lang didn't dare go back to sleep.

With the Nightmare Bed upgraded, the cooldown reset directly, and he could sleep another eight hours today.

How delightful~

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Lang needed to fill all the tenant slots.

However, as soon as he posted the announcement, he felt some regret.

Although it was hard to improve the charm of Miaoying and Mary further, their base charm was still excellent, and ordinary female players couldn't reach that standard.

...

Looking at the girl before him, Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

The person in front of him was an athletic young woman who had only gone through three cycles of the Dorm Survival Game. He didn't know what curse had befallen the Mad King Building, but it had recruited her.

And there were nearly a hundred more girls like her, who came to sign up, waiting outside in the corridor.

Chi Qingman's feet stood on the fungal carpet in the front hall, her heart pounding like a drum. She felt an itch all over her body, as if thousands of tiny bugs were crawling on her.

The Dorm Owner had called her over, so she came, not really expecting to be chosen, just going through the motions.

“Alright, you'll do.” Xu Lang nodded.

This young woman still retained a bit of innocence and purity, which gave him a very good impression.

After all, having just visited Luo Lin for a home interview not long ago, he wasn't particularly in the mood for those overly sophisticated older types.

“Yes, I'll head out now!” Chi Qingman bowed, the number seven on her jersey pulling down, distorting the digit.

She had a bit of Tong Qi's vibe.

“By the way, tell the others there's no need to line up anymore. Demon King Castle is only recruiting one tenant this time.” Xu Lang instructed.

“Yes!” Chi Qingman nodded repeatedly.

As she stepped out of the front hall, a cold wind blew, adding a touch of coolness to Chi Qingman's flushed face and clearing her head.

“Everyone, please disperse. Demon King Castle has already recruited its tenant!” Mary followed Chi Qingman out, glanced at the latter's dazed expression, and took over the task.

All the waiting female players erupted in commotion, but none dared to actually make a scene. They shot Chi Qingman envious, jealous, and hateful looks before dispersing.

“Q-Q-Qingman, y-y-you, you're now Brother Lang's wife?” Chi Qingman's original Dorm Owner stammered, feeling as if they were in a dream.

“I think so...” Chi Qingman didn't snap out of it until now. Her clear, bright eyes held both confusion and ecstasy, a very complex mix.

“Hahaha!”

The female players from Chi Qingman's original dorm all cheered, celebrating on the spot.

In the distance, Wu Huihui walked away dejectedly.

Wang Tingting, Yan Xiaoli, and Jiang Xiaowen were also very unwilling.

Nie Xiaozhu, however, took it in stride, comforting the others, “Don't lose heart. We'll have another chance next time. Come on, let's go eat some loser's meal together.”

...

“How infuriating! She didn't even send a private message to this princess, didn't even ask for this princess's opinion!”

In Dormitory 370, Pandora threw Killer Bear away, spouting all sorts of nonsense.

Using 'princess' as a self-proclamation had been out of style for many years.

“Hehehe, it's fine. The Lord Dorm Owner has sharp eyes. It's normal that he doesn't fancy you. I'll always be here with you, Your Highness.” Killer Bear rolled over and shamelessly said.

Pandora got even angrier.

This Killer Bear had no idea how to comfort someone.

Even if Xu Lang had invited her, she wouldn't abandon the Witch's Home. But not even asking, just directly choosing a tenant, that was too insulting!

“Wasn't it said that men have strong possessiveness and won't let go once they... you know?”

“Hehehe, he hasn't let go either. If he asked you to come over, wouldn't you go!”

“Don't make me sound like some cheap takeout!”

“Hehehe, if you miss the Lord Dorm Owner, you can go find him.”

“I'm very busy. The Puppet Factory has a lot to deal with. Even if he invited me, it'd depend on whether I have time!”

“Last night, I saw you holding the Lord Dorm Owner's photo book and grinning foolishly.”

“...”

Pandora felt like her fried eggs were about to burst with anger.

“Hahaha, Princess, don't be sad. Let me tell you an original joke.”

“What?”

“Why does a deaf-mute woman wear yoga pants?”

“How about I just throw you into the incinerator!”
