[Basic Nightmare Coins 1600, Conversion Rate 8001%, Eight-hour Total Production 127,760 Nightmare Coins]
[Total Nightmare Coins: 503,344]
Five hundred thousand Nightmare Coins, as easy as eating and drinking.
Xu Lang hadn't woken up on time today, and likewise hadn't thought about what to do today, because the strategy had already been figured out in yesterday's dream.
At this moment, his eyes were closed as he contemplated whether to upgrade the girls' outfits a round.
Doing this before would definitely be a loss, but now the value of Nightmare Coins had increased, and they came easily too, so things weren't necessarily set in stone anymore.
Xu Lang was never a rigid person. The kind who set down rules and regulations and absolutely had to follow them was destined to never become a rule-maker.
The only troublesome point now was that he didn't know when the Blood Calamity would end, nor when the next round of games would arrive.
Once he won the next round of games, the Supermarket would have a major refresh, and by then there would definitely be higher-level outfits.
"When in doubt, sleep it off."
Xu Lang decisively entered the Simulation Dream to simulate the future ten days from now and see if the Supermarket had refreshed.
Initial deduction: 100 Nightmare Essence.
Simulation initiated.
"Damn, that much of a deduction!"
Xu Lang, standing in the Simulation Dream, watched the total Nightmare Essence count in his field of vision leaping wildly every second, his expression changing in fright.
But what made his expression change even more violently was the current dream scene before him!
He found himself in Demon King Castle, the goat-horned gate swaying precariously as if some giant creature was slamming into it!
Boom~
The next moment, the beast-horned gate exploded open!
A humanoid creature broke through the smoke and dust, entering Xu Lang's vision with an elegant posture.
This humanoid creature had a formless black mist for a head, which seemed to contain a thousand eyes inside as it spoke to Xu Lang: "Finally, I've found you~"
The Nightmare Essence was instantly depleted!
The Simulation Dream shattered!
Xu Lang jolted awake, snapping his eyes open, the familiar ceiling of the Nightmare Bed coming into view.
His heart churned like a storm, his thoughts scrambled into a mess.
"Impossible, how could my dormitory door be breached!"
"The Simulation Dream is the most likely timeline to occur in the future!"
"As long as I don't pull any crazy tricks, I'll definitely have plenty of Nightmare Coins!"
"Ten days' time!"
"With all those days of accumulated Nightmare Coins, all reinforcing the door, even if Ultraman showed up, he might not be able to break through—how could it burst!"
Xu Lang initially denied it, but then quickly calmed down, the speed astonishingly fast.
The door being breached was being breached; there was nothing to argue about.
He had absolute faith in the Nightmare Lord sequence—if no countermeasures were taken, that future scene could very well become reality.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Lang began to piece through the information from scratch.
First, in the dream, the Auspicious Gate had been replaced by a goat-horned door, which had definitely been upgraded.
Second, Cao Yaxuan and the others were not in the dormitory, likely having been transferred into the Taleblade Demon Box.
He must have anticipated the door being breached and made some kind of countermeasure.
"Damn it!"
"Good thing the Simulation Dream doesn't have one hundred percent inevitability, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to accept this!"
"This is still the first time my door has been breached!"
"But if it was that creature, pulling this off isn't surprising either!"
The moment Xu Lang saw the humanoid creature, he retrieved its information.
It was exactly the mysterious creature Zhang Sanfeng had encountered in the Underground Palace, suspected to be connected to the Mad King!
Xu Lang perked up; he planned to gather enough Nightmare Essence and then enter the Simulation Dream of that time point again.
There was too little Nightmare Essence; he couldn't even probe for information.
At the same time, Xu Lang also felt the drawbacks of the Simulation Dream.
Within the Simulation Dream, he couldn't use the Nightmare Lord's abilities; otherwise, checking the Nightmare Coin count would tell him if it was truly a dead end back then.
He used to be quite relieved about this, because if he could really layer simulations like that, he'd definitely be tempted to try it, then simulate within the simulation, endlessly cycling.
This kind of cyclical dream was extremely terrifying.
Xu Lang had once experienced a similar dream, not waking up for three months, and when he woke up lying on a hospital bed, the medical bill was longer than his life, and he was still in debt to this day.
But now, there was no need to repay it anymore.
Hehe!
"Xu Lang, Rainy Night Blade has something to tell you."
Just as Xu Lang's thoughts were flying wildly, Han Zhixiu walked up to him and spoke.
Han Zhixiu had been up for a while now.
Wang Yazhi, Han Zhixiu, and Xu Ruyan were all relatively diligent, generally waking up after eight o'clock.
If someone had been in the C position last night, then there was no choice; they had to sleep in.
Xu Lang got out of bed and came to the main hall.
Mary asked, "Master, when will you have your meal?"
"Not eating today," Xu Lang shook his head.
Today's Blood Mist creatures were not on the same level as yesterday's; he probably wouldn't have time to eat.
Mary's gaze sharpened, and she silently followed beside Xu Lang.
At this moment, Xu Xiaomeng, Gu Ya, Ayiguli, Jinsha, Yinsha, and White Sand were gathered by the radio. Xu Lang walked over, saw that the mic was off, and casually turned it on.
[Zero Number, Rainy Night Blade... continuing to speak...]
Rainy Night Blade: "Zero Number, you're here?"
Midnight Fierce Zero: "A rare guest, Zero Number."
Brahman: "Benefactor, long time no see."
Hundred Ton King: "Big shot, you've finally come!"
Lone Wanderer: "Zero Number."
Xu Lang: "Rare to see all of you here today. My tenants said you guys have a situation over there?"
These users of the Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society were all players within the Titan Ruins.
The radio was an important facility for gathering intel; at a time like this, no one would begrudge the Copper Coins, and basically kept it on all the time.
Rainy Night Blade: "Ah, we've been here all along. It's you who doesn't like to come online much anymore. Did you join another station?"
Xu Lang: "Just don't feel like there's much to say."
Rainy Night Blade wailed, his Mature Male Voice all twisted out of shape: "My heart hurts so much. Is my hard-maintained mutual aid society finally going to fall apart?"
Hundred Ton King: "It's not that exaggerated. I'll always be with you, Blade Bro!"
"Stop mourning, and just get to the point. I don't know if Zero Number has a new lover over there, but I really do have a radio assembly to attend on my end." Midnight Fierce Zero's voice was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than before.
Xu Lang, seasoned in battle, guessed her Charm stat was at least three hundred points or more.
A voice this beautiful was unlikely to be a voice that didn't match the face.
Rainy Night Blade: "Alright, here's the deal for you guys. Today, all areas of the Titan Ruins might collectively be attacked by a kind of frog monster."
Brahman: "Hm? What do you mean? Is the info reliable?"
Rainy Night Blade: "Reliable. I have a radio friend who's a high-level member of the Shadow Prison Building."
Midnight Fierce Zero: "In the past few days, the monsters we encountered were all different. For them to be this uniform this time, the frog monster you mentioned can't be simple, right?"
Rainy Night Blade: "Right! These frogs are part of this Blood Calamity. Wherever they pass, all organic and inorganic matter will be aberrant into frogs, and they have a desire to possess the dormitory buildings!"
Hundred Ton King: "Aberrant into frogs? How is that so abstract? Even rocks and plants get aberrant?"
Rainy Night Blade: "Yes!"
Ayiguli and the other women's expressions changed in shock, their gazes all turning to Xu Lang as they simultaneously thought of a very terrifying image.
Would the frogs also aberrant the dormitory building along with it?!
Xu Lang's expression remained unchanged, with no ripples in his heart.
The dream had already revealed everything.
