Chapter 34: Three Point-Farming Pals Are Ready
Page 1 of 3
As night deepened, Wang Yazhi grew increasingly anxious.
She had already been given the tenant’s location.
Now she could stay in this dormitory without restraint, protected by two rapid-fire repeating crossbows and a level-two gate.
Yet she could not bring herself to feel happy. She was unbearably uneasy.
“This makes me look as though I’m being coerced.”
“In the end, all I’ll accomplish is making Xu Lang and the others unhappy, while making myself unhappy too.”
“Yazhi, you don’t have to do this. You’ve already made your decision, so just live well from here on…”
After wrestling with herself for a while, Wang Yazhi pretended to yawn and said to Xu Lang, “Xu Lang, when are you going to bed? I’m getting a little sleepy.”
“Oh. You can go to sleep first. Turn the bathroom faucet to the right for hot water.” Xu Lang nodded.
Wang Yazhi lowered her pretty brows and lifted her lower lip, revealing a faintly bewildered expression that was almost adorably absent-minded.
“You’re not sleeping?”
“No.” Xu Lang shook his head, then explained, “We sleep during the day and stay awake at night. Go ahead and sleep. It’s fine.”
If he went to sleep now, wouldn’t he be completely ruining his schedule? Besides, if he slept too much, he really could not guarantee that he would still be able to fall asleep once the Nightmare Bed finished cooling down and refreshed.
“That’s right, Sister Wang. Go to sleep first.” Tong Qi smiled.
“Then I’m really going to bed.” Though there was still some hesitation in her voice, Wang Yazhi nevertheless walked toward the bathroom.
Water rushed noisily.
Xu Lang’s copper coins were disappearing just as noisily.
A few hundred copper coins were still far too few.
After thinking it over, Xu Lang organized some supplies, then got in touch with Wu Huihui.
Several minutes later, the miscellaneous items before Xu Lang and a blueprint for an iron door vanished completely.
More than a thousand copper coins entered his account, and Xu Lang immediately felt a sense of security.
Design blueprints were no longer rare. Once blueprints ceased to be rare, materials became extraordinarily precious.
The bulk of what he had just traded consisted of raw materials he did not need. After that came the iron-door blueprint and Zhou Tao’s room key.
He left Zhou Tao’s mystery box for Wu Huihui to open. In any case, he had no intention of leaving the dormitory.
“So, Xu Lang, how much did you sell everything for?” Cao Yaxuan asked eagerly.

“One thousand five hundred.” Xu Lang smiled.
Cao Yaxuan let out a long sigh of relief. “I was afraid you’d sell it cheaply to Wu Huihui.”
Tong Qi teased, “Sister Cao, are you worried that Sister Wang will steal Brother Lang’s soul away?”
Wang Yazhi had brought up the subject during dinner.
Wu Huihui and the others were desperately short of raw materials, so they had asked whether Xu Lang had any surplus.
“That’s not it.” Cao Yaxuan rolled her eyes. “I was only afraid he’d sell them too cheaply.”
Cao Yaxuan remembered Sigma Xu Lang.
During those first two days after she arrived, he had tormented her thoroughly.
He was indeed lecherous, but in her heart, Xu Lang had never been the sort of man who thought with the wrong head.
After washing up, Wang Yazhi came out and saw that the three of them were still sitting on the sofa. She could not help asking, “Where am I supposed to sleep?”
Tong Qi raised one finger to her lips in a silent gesture, then pointed toward the Nightmare Bed.
A flicker of curiosity passed through Wang Yazhi’s eyes. Instead of going straight to bed, she sent Tong Qi a private message.
She soon learned what the others were doing.
Xu Lang was meditating, while Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi were watching him meditate.
Wang Yazhi moved a little closer and saw Xu Lang lounging against the sofa, eyes closed and breathing steady, looking like an old monk deep in meditation.
Meditation?
What was that?
She had heard that Xu Lang had bought the most expensive skill, whose name seemed to be Meditation.
She immediately continued messaging Tong Qi privately.
The two women began chatting.
…
When Xu Lang had suffered from insomnia in the past, he had tried meditating as well, using a technique called the pilot sleep method.
The pilot sleep method!
Not the airplane sleep method!!!

It had originally been developed for military pilots on active duty, then gradually spread and became quite famous.
The basic idea was to relax the body and visualize things such as sunshine, beaches, and white clouds.
That was ordinary meditation.
The Meditation skill, however, was completely different from the meditation Xu Lang had known before.
Once he activated Meditation, his perception of the outside world immediately became sluggish. All his mental power focused on the changes within his body.
The rhythm of his pulse, the sound of blood flowing, the subtle movements of his internal organs—one by one, they entered his sensory world, filling him with an incomparable sense of peace and tranquility, as though he were listening to the wondrous rhythm of his own body.
It was worth mentioning that skills could also be enhanced with Nightmare Coins!
And the price was not outrageously high, either!
Time passed slowly. Cao Yaxuan and the others went to bed one after another, though Xu Lang was unaware of it.
It was not until the sun rose the next day that he slowly opened his eyes.
Strangely enough, although the dormitories in the Dormitory Survival Game were completely sealed off, sunlight would appear inside whenever daytime arrived.
Wang Yazhi had gone to bed early. When Xu Lang opened his eyes, she woke up at the same time.
“Sister Wang, come on. Join me for some morning exercise.” Xu Lang beckoned her over.
…
Xu Lang and the other two had grown accustomed to sleeping during the day. Wang Yazhi had never slept that way before, however, and still found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep.
Fortunately, she was not entirely without things to do.
The girls on the tenth floor were ravenously hungry for gossip, and she could barely keep up with all their messages.
Moreover, Wu Huihui and the others had found quite a few good things while searching through the rooms, so there was no shortage of topics to discuss.
As they chatted, Wang Yazhi gradually began to feel sleepy.
Hardly anyone had been sleeping well these past few days, and she was no exception.
Before she realized it, she had drifted off.
The bed was cramped, but it also made her feel very safe.
