Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 40 Independent Regiment!
"Another side quest!"

It doesn't look that difficult. After completing it, it means that you only need to complete one more side quest and you can leave the mystery city at any time.

Xiao Ran carefully examined the content of the task.

You need to collect five campus badges through hunting. It doesn't seem like much, but since it is an E-level task, it is better to make more preparations.

Xiao Ran closed the door and took out the campus badge he had obtained earlier.

At this time, the reminder sound came again in my ears.

[You can use campus badges to strengthen your dormitories]

Then a virtual form appeared in front of him, and Xiao Ran examined it carefully.

Strengthen doors and windows LV1: a campus badge.

The defense level of the doors and windows is increased after being reinforced.

But with every subsequent enhancement, the price will continue to double.

Enhanced Bed LV1: One Campus Badge

The upgraded bed can make you immune to the night ghost's soul-calling skills while you are sleeping, etc.

The higher the level, the stronger the immune skill cap.

Strengthen dormitory LV1: a campus badge.

Each upgrade can increase the dormitory space by ten square meters.

There are many similar enhancements, but Xiao Ran pays more attention to the several enhancement options below the table.

[Gate Spell] LV1: Requires special badge: Despair

Put a powerful talisman on the door, and when the night ghost comes, it will summon the cursed spirit to attack.

[Curse Link] LV1: Requires special badge · Pain

Add special curse couplets on the doors and windows of the house. When night ghosts attack the doors, they will be randomly cursed and damaged.

[Room Pet] LV1: Requires special badge Cruel

Summon a room pet. Each room pet has unique abilities. The higher the level, the more powerful the ability.

[Treasure House] LV1; requires special badges: Hatred + Cruelty + Pain + Despair
Summons a treasure chest, instantly obtaining three special items from it.

Looking at the contents on the list, Xiao Ran pondered carefully. No wonder there were only three classes a day. Even though there was a risk of being turned into materials or badges during class, those students still rushed to the classroom.

This is not a class, it is clearly a daily task. If there are six people in a dormitory and three classes a day, that means 18 badges, which can be used to upgrade many things.

But if someone missed a class, maybe no one in the dormitory would survive the night.

"This is truly a school that takes the survival of the fittest to the extreme."

Xiao Ran curled his lips, thought about the number of badges in his hand, and then glanced at the empty bed in front of him, and realized that his current situation did not seem optimistic.

“We must upgrade the dormitories as soon as possible.”

Even if there is a coffin that can change one's identity, there is still a risk of being besieged by other night ghosts. The dormitory is the safest place.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran decided not to stay here. He closed the door and walked out.

Just a few steps out of the dormitory door, a boy holding a stick suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

"stop!!"

Several people stopped in front of Xiao Ran. The young man in the lead looked Xiao Ran up and down, walked up to him, took out a leaflet from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ran.
"Classmate, you haven't joined the group yet."

"Join the group?"

"Yes, it's hard to get by here. You'll be at a disadvantage if you're alone. Join the group. We have benefits for you."

The young man gestured to Xiao Ran to look towards the third floor of the dormitory.

Xiao Ran looked up and saw several hot girls waving at him from the door and windows of the dormitory on the left side of the third floor. Even the young woman next to him, whose age was obviously not that of a student, simply unbuttoned her shirt to let Xiao Ran feast his eyes.

"Join the group. You will get a wife for free. If you are strong, the leader can assign you a secretary and give you ten badges every day. There will be someone in the dormitory to help you level up. If you can hunt down a night ghost, the leader will give you extra rewards."

Xiao Ran originally thought that they were here to rob, and had already started charging the machete under his cloak. Unexpectedly, several people suddenly became polite, which made Xiao Ran feel a little embarrassed.

Picking up the leaflet and taking a look, Xiao Ran was speechless when he saw a familiar slogan titled "Independent Group" written on it. This was obviously a trick by an outsider who wanted to dominate the campus.

Xiao Ran hesitated for a few seconds and asked in a low voice, "Brother, then... do I have to pay?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said seriously: "What are you saying? After joining the group, we are brothers. Can I ask my brothers for money???"

"I definitely can't take my brothers' money, but we're all brothers, so it's okay to spend a few of them's money."

Xiao Ran tried to explain to the young man in his heart. This routine was so familiar.

"It's just right. If you don't take the road to heaven, you will break into hell. You are the one who asked me to join the group!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran did not hesitate any longer, and said as if he was encouraged by the young man: "Okay, big brother, then I want to join the group."

Hearing that Xiao Ran had joined the group, the young man grinned and naturally hooked his arm around Xiao Ran's shoulders: "Brother, I saw that old man in charge of the dormitory seemed quite friendly to you just now. Did he recommend a good dormitory for you?"

After saying that, afraid that Xiao Ran would think too much, he quickly added: "Don't think too much, the brothers all want to help you. If it's a new dormitory, you definitely don't have enough campus badges to upgrade, and you definitely won't be able to hold on at night."

Xiao Ran understood as soon as he heard it. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about him. It turned out that he had his eyes on the dormitory he owned.

"Brother, you guys are so kind to me. I just got a dormitory with five empty beds. It's just that the dormitory is a bit shabby..."

When they heard that Xiao Ran still had five empty beds, they were about to get angry.

They looked at each other and almost cursed in their hearts.

There are very few spaces between the dormitories, and there are not enough for the several clubs on campus.

They saw that Xiao Ran had a good relationship with the dormitory manager, so they tried to stop Xiao Ran, but they didn't expect to catch a big fat sheep.

A new dormitory, such a great contribution, is enough to allow him to be promoted from a small leader to a big leader in the regiment.

If the dormitory environment was better, maybe...

Thinking of this, the young man in the lead was about to burst into laughter, and he pulled Xiao Ran's arm: "Come on, let's go and take a look. When the time comes, let the brothers help you pick it up. I guarantee that you will sleep comfortably tonight."

Xiao Ran entered the dormitory again surrounded by four people.

When they arrived at the second floor of the dormitory, the four of them were almost grinning from ear to ear.

The second floor is a good location. It is said that some legendary masters on campus are on the second floor. I didn’t expect this kid to be so lucky that he could be assigned to a place like the second floor.

“Is this boy a relative of that old woman’s? Why is he treated so well?”

"That's it!"

Xiao Ran took out the key and unlocked the door. After pushing open the door, several young men walked quickly into the dormitory.

Looking at the simple dormitory in front of them, the four people's faces were filled with ecstasy, but when they looked up, they noticed that there was a coffin hanging above their heads.

"Hey, why is there a coffin hanging here?"

"I don't know. It was there when I got here."

Xiao Ran said casually, closing the door and latching it. He looked at the four people and said, "Brother, you just said you would give me a wife and a badge. Where can I get it?"

The four of them were stunned when they heard the words, looked at each other, and then burst into laughter at the same time.

The short boy on the left walked up to Xiao Ran, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what are you thinking about? You just joined the club, and you want to enjoy the benefits without making any contribution?"

"So you don't plan to give it to me?"

Xiao Ran's eyes gradually narrowed.

"Hey, give us the key and pay the membership fee. Then join us in the ghost hunt tonight. If you can survive, then..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ran's hand suddenly stretched out from under his cloak, and the next second a head flew off the boy's neck.

Before the head hit the ground, Xiao Ran reached out and grabbed it in his hand. Looking at the surprised expression on the head, Xiao Ran raised the black machete in his hand and carried it on his shoulder: "Too slow, I'd better do it myself."

After saying that, the figure suddenly rushed towards the three people.

"Fuck you, kill him!!"

A burst of shouting and cursing echoed in the corridor on the second floor, but soon the sound died down, and soon only the sound of chopping meat remained...

　The editor said that I have more than 300 followers, which is no problem, but the growth is too slow, and I was PKed. So I hope brothers will leave more messages and post more in the comment area to get more followers. Although I don’t expect to be put on the Sanjiang shelves, I don’t want to be forced to be put on the shelves. I beg you all.
