Because he had checked in at Mary’s and Firepower Girl’s places last night, Xu Lang fell asleep late and woke up late today.
“Another day full of hope!”
“Mad King Building, I hope you’re sensible and don’t start the game before the Nightmare Bed finishes upgrading.”
“The Blood Calamity is coming in a few days too, so whatever you do, don’t be the kind of beast who lets the Blood Calamity run at the same time as the game!”
Upon waking, the thing that made Xu Lang happiest was that Mad King Building still hadn’t set the start time for the next round.
Although he was cool-headed, the fact that Mad King Building was such a huge drain, combined with the Blood Calamity and the still-unscheduled eighth round of the game, always left him uneasy.
They were the three accessories he had stored in the Weapon Armory earlier; now they shimmered as if fresh off the forge.
[Please name before inspecting item attributes]
Xu Lang said offhandedly, “Overlord.”

Accessories in the Dorm Survival Game differ from clothing and equipment; they belong to another system. They usually don’t grant huge stat boosts, but their special effects can be excellent.
Bad accessories are disposable, good ones appear once in a millennium.
This set unquestionably belonged to the latter.
Xu Lang put them on immediately, feeling a cool wave run through his skin from the necklace and a slight tightness in his wrist.
“This set should last me a long time,” Xu Lang thought, pleased.
The so-called reinforcement of the Super Martial Spirit Core was simply adding a unified prefix to all items.
One elite-grade Super Martial Spirit Core was this powerful; now he looked forward to his full outfit even more.
After getting out of bed, he went straight to the front hall.
Kui Zi had stayed up all night in the front hall with ten researchers developing weapons.
Now the ten researchers had left, but she remained, fiddling with a five- or six-meter-long gun.
“Kui Zi, did you use your Super Martial Spirit Core?” Xu Lang asked as he arrived.
“Not yet, I’m planning to stockpile more equipment.” Kui Zi had spent the night awake; the Sequence power consumption was heavy and she had dark circles, yet her eyes still shone with energy and many ideas.
“Alright.” Xu Lang stepped forward and inspected the various machines arranged there.
The front hall had clearly become Kui Zi’s research lab.
“Have you built your Weapon Armory? How does it perform, let me take a look.” Kui Zi noticed the accessories on Xu Lang.
Xu Lang shared the item information.
After reading, Kui Zi looked thoughtful, and also felt it was a waste.
Such a badass Super Martial Spirit Core had been used by Xu Lang just to enhance accessories.
“Xu Lang, I want to discuss something with you.” Kui Zi suddenly fixed her gaze on him.
“Go ahead, what is it?” Xu Lang replied casually.
“I want to add some more firepower bionic units to the dorm.” Kui Zi said.
Xu Lang paused, turned to look at her, questioning in his eyes, and said, “Low-end firepower bionics are useless. Even if quantity causes a qualitative change, they’ll be eliminated after a round or two. It’s not very meaningful.”
Investing resources in bionics is worse than investing them in turrets.
Even countless low-end firepower bionics can’t match the output of a single Void Fissioner shot.
“Xu Lang, do you think any human-operated attack device can beat a turret?” Kui Zi asked.
“That’s right.” Xu Lang nodded.
“Don’t you think the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor is basically a place for us to turn people into human turrets? Yaxuan and Gu Ya can attack outside, while other monsters can’t hit us from there, which is annoyingly convenient.” Kui Zi’s eyes flashed with a keen light. “Intelligent Mechanical Life as dorm subunits are extremely useful; they can handle daily tasks and also serve as a defensive force!”
Xu Lang shook his head. “That doesn’t change the drawback I mentioned. The money we pay as a population tax for the dorm could be used to have turrets fire countless more shots.”
Turrets are a long-term investment; he could even upgrade them with Nightmare Coins, but bionics didn’t have that cost-performance ratio.
“What if I said I could upgrade Firepower Girl and the others?” Kui Zi said gravely.
“You really can?” Xu Lang’s stance shifted.
After last round’s loot was listed on the Trading Network, funds started to recover, so placing some bets wasn’t out of the question.
It was just a population tax.
He wasn’t dogmatic; he used whatever was practical.
