Chapter 273 Dormitory Leap Forward

Over the next two days, the vibe across the entire Jinghai University changed completely.

During the day, players formed teams to go out and purge dormant Supernatural Entities, while also scavenging for various survival supplies.

At night, they returned to the Training Ground on time to participate in unified simulation training.

Stimulated by the combat merit points system, all fear of Supernatural Entities had vanished among everyone.

Now, those monsters wandering on the outskirts of the campus were seen by the players as nothing but shiny combat merit points and copper coins.

There was even a situation where there weren't enough Supernatural Entities to go around.

In order to snatch monsters, several squads almost got into a fight on the campus road.

In the end, the Leaders had to step in, forcibly suppressing the tempers, and established a rule: fair competition—whoever lands the final blow gets the combat merit points.

Once this rule was set, all sorts of underhanded tricks for snatching monsters emerged, but fortunately, no lives were lost, and the budding signs of private fights were completely nipped in the bud.

However, it also greatly improved the players' strength in various aspects, as well as their strategies and teamwork capabilities.

Meanwhile, the Dormitories on every floor were also experiencing a period of rapid development.

Many people pooled their combat merit points together, exchanged them for basic materials in the Survival Mall, and upgraded their Dormitory doors.

There were also a few wealthy Dormitories that directly integrated their resources and installed three or four turrets in the corridors and stairwells.

The entire defense system of Jinghai University was becoming solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

4th Floor, Dormitory 404.

The living room was filled with chatter as the women gathered together, excitedly discussing the newly added furniture.

Over the past two days, Su Ze had used more than a dozen dormitory expansion cornerstones, forcefully expanding the area of Dormitory 404 significantly.

Now, Dormitory 404 was so spacious that it was even more exaggerated than a large flat before the apocalypse.

What Su Ze lacked the least were copper coins, so he directly filled the place with all sorts of high-end furniture and appliances from the Survival Mall.

Leather sofas, double-door refrigerators, temperature-controlled wine cabinets; even the carpets were of the highest specifications.

This living environment was even more comfortable than what most ordinary people had before the apocalypse.

At this moment, Su Ze was standing at the entrance of the Dormitory with a group of women.

Outside the main door, a heavy turret exuding a chilling aura was impressively mounted.

This was a rare-grade blueprint left behind previously; thanks to the search efforts of his subordinates over the past two days, they had just gathered the materials, and it had only been built this morning.

As for the previous serial crossbow boxes and ordinary Heavy Crossbow Turrets, Su Ze had them all dismantled into basic materials.

The quality was too low, the damage couldn't keep up, and keeping them was just taking up space.

Su Ze pulled up the panel.

"Frost Crossbow turret"

"Quality: Rare"

"Level: Lv.5"

"Type: turret"

"Attack Power: 120"

"Attack speed: 1 shot / 1 second"

"Attack Range: 100 meters"

"Special Effect: Ice Slow (Each attack has a 30% chance to cause a slow effect, reducing the target's movement speed by half for 2 seconds)"

"Ammo Consumption: 80 copper coins * 1 / Frost Crossbow Bolt"

"Upgrade Path: None / For more upgrade paths, please obtain higher-level blueprints of the same type of turret;"

"Description: A heavy crossbow bolt with ice attributes, offering both crowd control and damage."

"Are the materials all prepared?" Su Ze turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuwan beside him.

Jiang Yuwan pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and nodded.

Su Meier stepped forward, took out a pile of special materials emitting a red glow from her storage space, and stacked them neatly on the ground.

"Landlord, all the materials are here." Su Meier said coquettishly, seeking credit.

This was found yesterday by one of his search squads in an abandoned warehouse outside the school.

Besides the materials, they also brought back a new rare-grade blueprint.

Jiang Yuwan took out the "Scorching Flame Crossbow turret" blueprint and clicked to use it directly.

"Ding, consumed Wood material * 100, Iron Block * 180, Crimson Flame Stone * 10, Lava Core * 1."

"Construction Successful!"

Accompanied by the system's prompt, a flash of red light swept past.

On the other side of the main door, a Heavy Crossbow Turret, dark red all over and exuding a scorching aura, formed out of thin air.

Two rare-grade turrets, one ice and one fire, stood guard on the left and right outside the door of Dormitory 404.

Everyone stared at the panel data of the new turret, and a burst of irrepressible exclamations suddenly rang out in the corridor.

"Scorching Flame Crossbow turret"

"Quality: Rare"

"Level: Lv.5"

"Type: turret"

"Attack Power: 130"

"Attack speed: 1 shot / 4 seconds"

"Attack Range: 100 meters"

"Special Effect: Burn (Hitting a target causes continuous fire damage, losing 10 health per second for 3 seconds)"

"Ammo Consumption: 80 copper coins * 1 / Flame Crossbow Bolt"

"Upgrade Path: None / For more upgrade paths, please obtain higher-level blueprints of the same type of turret;"

"Description: The explosive damage of fire, dealing extreme damage to enemies."

"This attack power is just too exaggerated." Qiao Yunge stepped up to touch the metal shell of the turret, rubbing her hands in excitement.

"With these two big guys guarding the door, even if all those Supernatural Entities outside rushed up, they'd be shot into sieves!"

An Lan stood to the side, silently examining the mechanical structure of the crossbow turret.

Yao Qingya looked at Su Ze's back, her expression becoming increasingly gentle.

In this apocalypse where human life is like grass, being able to stay in such a place overflowing with a sense of security was already very fortunate.

Li Xinran and Zhuang Xiaoxin were also full of excitement, chattering away about the power of the turrets.

Only Shi Yetang and Gai Qian, who had been in an invisible state, showed no reaction to this.

Shi Yetang curled her lips, muttering to herself.

It's just two lousy rare-grade ones, is there any need to be this happy?

Su Ze took in everyone's reactions and then withdrew his gaze.

"Is this enough to satisfy you?"

Su Ze flipped his palm, and three blueprints emitting a dazzling purple light appeared in his hand.

He handed the blueprints directly to Jiang Yuwan.

"Take these and keep them safe, have someone gather the relevant materials on them as soon as possible."

Jiang Yuwan took the blueprints, looked down at them, and froze in place.

"perfect quality?!"

Jiang Yuwan's voice raised an octave, her usually cold face filled with astonishment.

Hearing these four words, the women who were still surrounding the rare-grade turrets instantly quieted down and turned in unison to look at the blueprints in Jiang Yuwan's hands.

"perfect quality · Anti-Air Heavy turret Blueprint" * 2.

"perfect quality · Dark Iron Alloy Gate Blueprint" * 1.

"Three perfect quality blueprints?!" Liu Qiaofei exclaimed, covering her mouth with a face full of astonishment, "Senior Su Ze, where did you get blueprints of this level?"

Su Ze said in a flat tone: "Confiscated from Shi Yetang."

As soon as these words came out, the women suddenly understood.

That's right, Shi Yetang is a high-level zombie after all; it's completely normal for her to have some good things.

Standing in the back, Shi Yetang couldn't help but roll her eyes hard upon hearing this.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zombie Clan has no use for human defensive buildings, how could these lousy blueprints have fallen into your hands?

Jiang Yuwan held the blueprints, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"The blueprints are good things, but building them at the current stage is probably very difficult."

"After all, perfect quality materials haven't even spawned in the campus yet."

"I do have some of the materials." Su Ze said, opening his storage space again.

Clatter.

A large pile of rare metals, precision parts, and special core materials emitting various colors of light piled up into a small hill, filling the open space at the doorway completely.

"Also confiscated from Shi Yetang." Su Ze added.

Shi Yetang in the back was so angry that her teeth itched, so she simply turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Jiang Yuwan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and turned to call Ye Qingqing and Su Meier.

"Qingqing, Meier, come over and count the materials, and make a list based on the requirements on the blueprints."

Ye Qingqing hurriedly ran over holding a folder, and Su Meier also put away her coquettish demeanor; the three of them squatted in front of the pile of materials and quickly started counting.

Liu Qiaofei looked at the pile of materials emitting high-level light, excitedly grabbing Zhuang Xiaoxin's arm.

"Senior Su Ze, with so many materials, can we build the perfect quality gate and turrets directly today?"

Su Ze shook his head.

"There are plenty of materials, but the most core components are missing. For perfect quality buildings, you can't build them if even one is missing."

Hearing this, the excitement on Liu Qiaofei's face immediately collapsed, and she sighed with some disappointment.

"That's true... after all, it's perfect quality, how could it be so easy to gather everything."

Qiao Yunge comforted her from the side: "It's okay, we have two rare-grade turrets now, which is already very strong. Let's save the perfect blueprints for now; we'll be able to build them sooner or later."

The women nodded in agreement one after another.

At this current stage, being able to hold three perfect quality blueprints and a large pile of high-level materials was already a crushing level of foundation.

Just when everyone thought this matter had come to a temporary end.

Su Ze suddenly chuckled.

"However."

Su Ze looked at them, his tone casual.

"Although the core materials are missing, we can have these perfect quality anti-air turrets immediately today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the women who had already dispersed looked at him in unison.
