Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

Chen An's monster-luring tactic is very simple.

However, ordinary residents cannot replicate it.

Because their doors are of such low quality, Smiling Nightmare won't just bump into them and leave.

Either break down the door directly, or keep aiming to break down their door from the beginning.

Therefore, only Chen An dared to pull and kill monsters like this on this floor.

The following steps are very simple.

First, determine the location of the laughing man using surveillance footage.

Then Chen An opened the door.

Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi immediately went out to attack.

After killing one of the Smiling Nightmares, immediately retreat into the room, change to a crossbow loaded with arrows, and prepare to kill the next one.

The other laughing faces would rush over immediately each time.

But he only had time to bang on the door once, and seeing that it didn't cause any damage, he left unwillingly.

They kept pulling and tugging like that.

In just a few minutes, they had already killed seven Laughing Nightmares.

"As expected, he only has some intelligence, but not much."

Chen An looked at the surveillance footage and smiled.

If they were intelligent enough, this kind of tug-of-war tactic would be impossible to execute.

Of course, even with low IQ, today's nightmare is still a huge source of stress for most residents!

Monsters with intelligence are much harder to defeat than those without.

That stiff, lifeless smile, like the one from the first day, waiting to be killed, is gone forever...

"It's only the third day, and Smiling Nightmare already has intelligence, and it's moving so fast. I wonder how terrifying the boss on the fifth day will be."

Looking at the scene in the hallway on the surveillance footage, Wang Ziyan couldn't help but sigh.

If I hadn't joined Chen An's room today...

Even if their doors are only level two, they can only struggle to keep going like other residents, constantly repairing their doors.

Where else can you grind monsters so easily?

The door is a level 5 barrier; it's not afraid of being broken down.

There is also surveillance that provides a clear view of the entire floor.

There is also a continuous supply of repeating crossbows.

The resources are absolutely plentiful!

Even if it were any other resident without combat talent, they could probably easily kill these Laughing Monstrosities...

Wang Ziyan suddenly felt an immense sense of urgency.

Because she realized that her own value was not high.

I am not indispensable...

If she really upsets or displeases Chen An, she might be kicked out!

Because her role wasn't as significant as people imagined.

Wang Ziyan subconsciously gritted her teeth; she was genuinely a little scared.

She dared to talk back to Jiang Lai before mainly because she had a combat talent and was one of only two combatants in the room.

He relied on the fact that Chen An needed him and wouldn't easily drive him away.

But now that she realizes her role isn't that significant, she's too worried.

"No, I need to work hard to kill monsters later. I must surpass Lin Luxi and prove my worth..."

Wang Ziyan stared at the smiling face on the monitor screen and thought to herself.

Of the seven Smiling Nightmares killed previously, five were killed by Lin Luxi.

Moreover, Lin Luxi has a talent bonus, resulting in a very high drop rate, with each one dropping an extra gold coin.

This made Wang Ziyan feel that her role was not as important as Lin Luxi's...

As for Jiang Lai, although she did not participate in the battle, she was responsible for buying and selling various supplies on the trading platform, contributing a lot.

Besides, Jiang Lai is Chen An's girlfriend, so it's okay even if she doesn't help.

So without realizing it, she became the most useless person in the room!

The more Wang Ziyan thought about it, the more pressure she felt.

Huge!

"Are you ready? This laughing monster is a bit far away; you need to get closer before you make your move."

Chen An said, looking at the surveillance footage.

Because most of the neighboring houses were already dead, the laughing man went to bang on the doors in the distance.

The closest smiling face to them was more than ten meters away.

"Always be prepared!"

Wang Ziyan gripped the repeating crossbow tightly.

She must demonstrate her worth!

"Hmm!" Lin Luxi remained very quiet.

Then, Chen An checked the surveillance footage.

Once you've confirmed the doorway is safe, open it immediately.

Wang Ziyan was the first to leave this time.

Lin Luxi followed closely behind.

The two had only taken a few steps forward when the laughing monster that was banging on the door heard the noise, turned its head sharply, grinned, and rushed over with a strange laugh.

Without hesitation, Wang Ziyan pulled the trigger, and the crossbow began firing arrows incessantly.

Although her aim was still poor, the corridor was narrow and the Smiling Nightmare was very large, so most of the arrows hit and blew it up.

Then Wang Ziyan aimed at another laughing wolf charging from a distance, ready to shoot.

But just then, from the far end of the dark corridor, more laughing demons rushed over.

Wang Ziyan, who had originally wanted to take a little more, didn't dare to hesitate and quickly retreated back to her room.

Lin Luxi followed closely behind and ran in.

Chen An immediately locked the door.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of impact sounds rang out as a large number of laughing nightmares crashed into them.

Fortunately, Chen An was already familiar with this door-locking procedure, so he wasn't nervous.

"Luckily it's a level 5 door, otherwise the risk of pulling on it like that would be too great."

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Wang Ziyan with some displeasure and scolded, "Weren't you just about to kill another Smiling Nightmare? I told you before, don't rush, don't be greedy. What if the Smiling Nightmare on the other side of the corridor suddenly rushes over? Besides, there are only fifteen arrows in the crossbow. You used at least ten when you killed the first Smiling Nightmare. There's not enough left to kill another one."

"Your recklessness will not only harm yourself, but also Lin Luxi, and even implicate me. I'm only saying this one last time: if you continue to be greedy, I won't risk leaving the door open; you'll just die outside."

Wang Ziyan pursed her lips in grievance and lowered her head: "I...I understand..."

She just wanted to prove her worth.

I didn't expect Smiling Nightmare to react so quickly.

It seems to be faster than before.

They weren't this perceptive when we killed them the previous times.

"Heh, greedy woman."

Jiang Lai scrolled through the trading platform and made a faint, sarcastic remark.

Wang Ziyan clenched her fists, feeling even more distressed.

Lin Luxi wanted to say something, but her lips moved but she didn't say anything.

"Sigh, alright, be careful next time. I don't want anything to happen to you either."

Chen An gently patted Wang Ziyan's shoulder and offered a word of comfort.

Although he knew that Wang Ziyan was not acting out of personal motives.

But the warning still needs to be issued.

This isn't a video game where you can revive after dying.

One wrong move and someone could really die!

"Okay! I'll be more careful this time!"

Wang Ziyan looked up at Chen An, her expression becoming more serious.

"Let's get a new crossbow."

Chen An took out a repeating crossbow full of arrows from his backpack and handed it over.

As for crossbows that have run out of arrows, they can be listed on trading platforms and sold at low prices.

Anyway, I won't lose out.

"Try to let Lin Luxi kill Xiaoyan. Her talent has a higher drop rate. You just keep an eye on Xiaoyan when she gets close and protect her."

Chen An paused for a moment, then added, "I noticed that the Nightmares reacted a bit faster than before. I guess it's because they've developed intelligence and can sense when they're being pulled. So even if you run out of arrows and can't kill a single Nightmare, don't take any more risks. Just retreat and pull the monsters again. We have plenty of room for error."

Wang Ziyan didn't find Chen An's rambling annoying.

On the contrary, I feel very at ease.

Because she knew that Chen An genuinely didn't want anything to happen to them.

It's about caring for them.

"Hmm? It seems someone has gone out."

Just as Chen An finished explaining the tactics, he saw a door open in the hallway on the surveillance camera.

One of the boys also followed their tactics and came out with a crossbow to kill monsters.

That boy was just unlucky.

There was a laughing monster banging on the door of the room next to his.

Although the boy reacted in time and attacked with a crossbow, the Smiling Nightmare still crashed heavily into him...

Upon hearing the sound, all the other laughing faces rushed over.

"Now's the time! While all the Smiling Faces are distracted, hurry out and launch a surprise attack!"

Chen An immediately said.

The boy's location was quite far from his room, making him a perfect bait.
