Chapter 191 Merge! Players in the Building

Merging the Taoyuan Residential Area meant he could move into a Villa and activate more Bonds.

But in the short term, his personal strength wouldn't undergo a world-shaking change.

Because for now, the only goddess who could be recruited as a tenant was clearly Zhuang Xiaoxin alone.

No matter how many tenant slots there were, without tenants, it was all in vain.

Moreover, if he merged them, he would need to manage two areas, and his energy would be divided.

Perhaps the defensive line would weaken as a result.

However, annexing the Taoyuan Residential Area...

Although he couldn't use the Villas to greatly increase the number of tenants in the short term,

He would gain a more powerful foundation.

With all players' attributes increased and the Halo effect doubled, this would immensely enhance the overall strength of Jinghai University.

Combined with the players from the residential area he just incorporated, the Jinghai University District now had 40,000 players.

According to the effect of the "All Hearts as One" Halo, after doubling, that would be an 80% increase!

If paired with his own [Burst] Bond, what a terrifying level of combat power that would be!

Thinking of this, Su Ze made a decision in his heart.

He finally chose to [Annex Taoyuan Residential Area].

[Ding! Jinghai University Leader Su Ze has chosen to [Annex Taoyuan Residential Area]!]

[The Taoyuan Residential Area is undergoing Space Reshaping... Estimated reshaping time: 10 seconds.]

[Attention to all players in the Jinghai University area: your area is expanding. Please do not panic.]

As the voice fell, the entire Taoyuan Residential Area began to tremble violently, as if being torn apart by an invisible force.

The ground cracked, buildings distorted, and eventually turned into countless points of light, dissipating into the night sky and reverting back to the initial dark zone.

Su Ze felt his vision blur, and in the next second, he and An Lan had returned to the bottom of the Jinghai University Dormitory.

The Public Channel exploded instantly.

[5th Floor-101-Li Ziming (landlord): Holy crap! Taoyuan Residential Area is gone! It's really gone! Boss Su Ze is amazing!]

[6th Floor-503-Chen Jiajia (tenant): The boss is the boss. He said annex and he annexed it. Who can compare to such spirit?]

[5th Floor-405-Zhang Wei (landlord): Haha, annexing is good! I said it before, our Jinghai University is the leader. Swallowing Taoyuan Residential Area is the way to go!]

[2nd Floor-718-Wang Xiaoming (tenant): Long live Boss Su Ze! From now on, I'm a Jinghai University person. No one will dare bully me!]

[9th Floor-911-Lin Jing (tenant): Long live Boss Su Ze!!]

The players discussed excitedly, and their worship of Su Ze reached a peak.

Just then, a grand mechanical prompt continued to sound.

[Ding! Your area has expanded. Area Morphological Adjustment is now available.]

[Leader Su Ze, please choose the shape and position of the expanded area within the time limit.]

Su Ze looked at the regional map on the virtual screen.

Jinghai University's range had doubled, and the extra area appeared as a blank space waiting to be planned.

He hesitated for a moment and soon had an idea.

At the entrance of Jinghai University, there was originally a huge plaza.

Now that the number of players was around forty thousand, although this plaza was large, it still felt a bit cramped for large-scale training or resisting foreign enemies.

"Expand it all onto the plaza at the school gate," Su Ze commanded the system.

[Command confirmed. The Jinghai University school gate plaza area is undergoing morphological adjustment... Estimated adjustment time: 5 seconds.]

Rumble!

Violent vibrations once again came from Jinghai University.

All the players felt the ground beneath their feet trembling, and they looked toward the school gate in horror.

They saw the already wide plaza extending outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ground at the edges rose, trees were swallowed, and eventually, a much larger and flatter open space was formed.

The area of the new plaza was several times larger than before!

[Ding! Annexation of Taoyuan Residential Area complete. Morphological adjustment of the Jinghai University school gate plaza area complete!]

[Ding! All players belonging to Jinghai University, the reward of +10 free attribute points has been distributed!]

[Ding! All Dormitories belonging to Jinghai University, level +1, tenant limit has increased!]

Another series of system prompts completely set off the players of Jinghai University.

[3rd Floor-301-Zhao Zhu (tenant): Holy crap! 10 free attribute points added! Haha, there's more hope for the next round of the game!]

[4th Floor-974-Sun Li (landlord): My Dormitory has also upgraded! One more person can move in! Boss Su Ze is awesome! I love the boss!]

[5th Floor-710-Chen Xiaoming (tenant): Our Jinghai University is definitely invincible! If anyone dares to cause trouble, we'll smash their dog heads!]

[9th Floor-549-Che Yanquan (landlord): Everyone, please don't add attributes randomly. Listen to Boss Su Ze's arrangements.]

Everyone was immersed in the joy of their strength increasing, and their respect and loyalty to Su Ze reached an unprecedented height.

While the players of Jinghai University were immersed in ecstasy,

Another area was filled with shock.

Global Financial Center.

This hundred-story skyscraper was currently brightly lit.

Many players in the high-level areas stood by the windows, looking down outside.

As the Taoyuan Residential Area turned into nothingness bit by bit in their field of vision,

And finally vanished completely, leaving only a deep dark zone, everyone felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts.

Immediately after, next to that dark zone, the plaza of Jinghai University rapidly expanded in an incredible way.

"Oh my god! Taoyuan Residential Area... is just gone? What's going on?"

A man in a suit pushed his glasses, his voice carrying an irrepressible terror.

"It's too scary! Was it done by the people from Jinghai University? How did they do it?"

"Jinghai University... these people are not simple! They can actually make a residential area vanish into thin air!"

"Should... should we be a bit careful? Will Jinghai University target us?"

"It must have been destroyed by that guy from Jinghai University. Look, the plaza over there is frighteningly large."

Other white-collar workers spoke one after another.

The crowd was filled with unease and fear...

Meanwhile, on the 100th floor at the top of the building.

Five men were sitting around a huge round table.

The man in the main seat was about forty years old, wearing a sophisticated custom suit, his eyes deep and exuding the majesty of a high-ranking person;

To his left was a burly man with a buzz cut, built like an iron tower. Even while sitting, one could feel his startling explosive power;

To his right sat a thin young man wearing black-rimmed glasses with a sinister expression, his fingertips constantly tapping on the table;

Next to the young man was a decadent man with long hair and stubble, idly playing with a lighter in his hand;

And the last person was an old man in a grey robe, refined in temperament but with cold eyes.

"The latest news, have you heard? Taoyuan Residential Area... is gone," the middle-aged man in the main seat said in a heavy voice.
