Nanoe didn’t curse, didn’t insult, nor did she use any words too crude, but each of her words pressed others into uncomfortable silence to the point of choking.

Because she didn’t only stop them, but exposed their intentions in front of the entire chat channel. This made those who wanted to snatch the spoils unable to continue standing on the ground of "everyone surviving together."

They wanted to steal benefits.

Nanoe said it directly, then forbade them from stealing.

Extremely direct.

Extremely overpowering.

Garland finally sent a message.

[Room 606 – Garland: If room 2705 wants to monopolize this battlefield, at the very least you must ensure that the frozen rooms don’t have their doors broken by monsters.]

Nanoe looked at this message, her smile slightly changing.

Garland was smarter than the others. He didn’t continue arguing about ownership of the spoils, but shifted to the issue of responsibility.

If room 2705 wanted to monopolize the ice monsters, then they had to ensure that the rooms locked by ice didn’t die because of this.

This was a kind of bargaining.

Nanoe didn’t dislike this kind of person. At the very least he understood how to talk, more than the fools who only knew how to scream "based on what."

[Room 2705 – Nanoe: Acceptable.]

Morie looked at Nanoe.

Monica was also startled.

Even Elith, out in the corridor, who received the chat content through the message-relaying spider, slightly raised her brow.

Nanoe continued sending.

[Room 2705 – Nanoe: For the rooms within the battlefield range that are frozen, if ice monsters break through the door, Elith will prioritize handling them.]

[Room 2705 – Nanoe: But the dropped items, contribution points, corpses, energy cores, and any spoils of war all belong to room 2705.]

[Room 2705 – Nanoe: Anyone who doesn’t agree can open their door and go fight outside themselves.]

[Room 2705 – Nanoe: And then become our enemy.]

This was a concession.

But also not a concession.

Nanoe gave them an excuse to stay silent. Room 2705 would protect the affected rooms, so others no longer had a reason to use "saving people" as a way to enter the battlefield.

If they still made a move, then it was theft.

It was being an enemy.

Very clear.

Very clean.

Leaving no moral gap for anyone.

The chat channel fell silent for a few more seconds. Then, several people from the frozen rooms immediately sent messages.

[Room 512 – Mina: I agree! As long as you save my room, I don’t need any items!]

[Room 729 – Loren: My room is about to have its door broken by ice Wolves. I beg room 2705 for help! I won’t fight for anything.]

[Room 681 – Hake: I agree too. Anyone who wants to kill monsters can go elsewhere. Don’t drag us down with you.]

[Room 904 – Yuni: Thank you, room 2705!]

In just a moment, the situation in the chat channel had changed.

Those who were frozen naturally didn’t want the level 6 Survivors to come "help" in the manner of fighting over spoils. They feared the ice monsters, but feared even more those who used the name of helping to turn the battlefield in front of their doors into a contested zone.

If room 2705 was willing to protect them and didn’t ask them to pay a price, only taking the spoils from the ice monsters, then for them, this was already the best result.

Garland didn’t continue speaking.

Riven also fell silent.

Ulmar even more so didn’t send any further messages.

Nanoe looked at the chat channel, her gaze calm. A battle that didn’t require shedding blood had ended within a few minutes.

Morie stood beside her watching the entire process, a hint of contemplation appearing in her gaze. A moment later, she asked: "Sister Nanoe, why do it this way?"

Nanoe turned her head to look at her.

"Do what?"

"Threaten the entire chat channel." Morie said very directly: "If we only wanted to stop them from stealing benefits, we could have used a gentler method. What you just did almost forced everyone to view room 2705 as a threat."

Nanoe smiled.

"Not almost."

"I want them to view us as a threat."

Morie frowned.

"Doing this is no different from making us the common enemy of everyone."

"No."

Nanoe gently shook her head.

"Only when we are weak does being viewed as a threat make us a common enemy."

"But when we are strong enough, being viewed as a threat makes us a rule."

Morie fell silent. This sentence made her think for a long time.

Nanoe walked over to a chair and slowly sat down. The thin towel still loosely covered her body, but her aura at this moment was no longer the lazy demeanor of someone who had just left her bed.

She was like a mistress sitting behind a curtain, using just a few words to make many people outside change their decisions.

"In the past, we were still developing. Rover needed time. We needed resources. Room 2705 also needed to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Nanoe looked at the gradually quieting chat channel, her voice very soft.

"But now is different."

"Thanks to the special effect of the [Garden of Eden], combined with the effect of the [Bed], I have unlocked about 40% of my special innate gift."

Morie slightly raised her head.

"Forty percent?"

"Mm."

Nanoe gently nodded.

"And Monica is even more terrifying."

Monica, who had been standing behind, was startled to hear her name.

"Me?"

Nanoe smiled as she looked at her.

"That’s right. You’ve unlocked up to 50%."

Monica blankly pointed at herself.

"But I... I don’t feel that strong."

"Because you don’t yet understand what you can do."

Nanoe gently said.

"A special innate gift is unlike ordinary abilities. Some people unlock 10% and can already change a battlefield. Some people unlock 70% and still only enhance one very narrow auxiliary ability. Unlock progress doesn’t reflect total power, but it does reflect one thing."

"Your gate has already opened halfway."

Monica grew even more confused.

Morie also fell into thought.

She was very smart, but as Nanoe said, each person’s innate gift was different. A 50% number wasn’t enough to deduce the entire essence of Monica’s power.

Monica was a Curse Wielder.

She was related to curses.

If her special innate gift was also related to this domain, then 50% could be very frightening. But how frightening it actually was, no one knew for now.

And what about Nanoe?

Nanoe originally possessed [Flames of Destruction], and through the [Garden of Eden] had additionally acquired a great deal of knowledge related to bloodlines and special powers. If her special innate gift had unlocked 40%, then her current confidence wasn’t coming from nothing.

Morie looked at Nanoe.

"So that’s why you dared to provoke them?"

Nanoe smiled.

"Not just because of that."

"Then for what other reason?"

Nanoe raised her eyes to look toward the general chat channel. Her gaze was still gentle, but hidden within was something very sharp, very cold.

"Because this apartment complex has been chaotic for too long."

Morie fell silent.

Nanoe continued: "Every time some benefit appears, a group of people charges in to fight over it. Every time some danger appears, a group of people uses morality to force others to sacrifice themselves. Every time we harvest something, a few flies come along to see if they can take a bite."

"Rover doesn’t like trouble."

"Neither do I."

She softly laughed.

"So instead of dealing with each fly one at a time, it’s better to make the entire apartment complex understand one thing clearly."

Morie asked: "What thing?"

Nanoe looked at her, her smile gentle to the extreme.

"Things belonging to room 2705 cannot be touched."

"People belonging to room 2705 cannot be moved."

"When room 2705 says no, others had best learn to stay silent."

Monica softly trembled.

Not because she feared Nanoe, but because she felt that Nanoe at this moment was both beautiful and dangerous to a degree that made one struggle to breathe.

Elith out in the corridor heard these words through the spider, her gaze also slightly changing.

She suddenly felt that room 2705 wasn’t only strong because of Rover, but also because beside Rover were such special women.

Morie had intelligence and Titan strength.

Monica had curses and an innate gift not yet fully revealed.

Selina had pure combat strength.

And Nanoe...

Nanoe was like a layer of soft mist draped over a blade.

You only saw her gentleness.

Until your throat was cut, you wouldn’t realize the thing that touched you wasn’t a flower petal.

But killing intent.

Out in the corridor, Elith waved her hand. The spider silk continued to stretch out.

Under Morie’s support, the battlefield was cut into many smaller sections. The ice Golems were isolated. The ice Wolves were forced into silk traps. The ice Goblins couldn’t form a formation.

Thunder Dragon flew across the battlefield, occasionally launching a bolt of lightning down at targets Elith marked.

Krittttt!!!

BOOM!!!!

A group of ice Wolves was blasted apart by the thunder electricity, their blackened corpses falling to the ground.

Sunako, hung on the wall, weakly raised her thumb at the scene.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! If there were a ranking for the most handsome combat pet, I’d definitely vote for you."

Thunder Dragon glanced at her.

"Krit."

Sunako immediately added: "Of course, voting anonymously, to avoid making you too arrogant."

Thunder Dragon tilted its head.

"Krit?"

Sunako immediately changed her words: "No, no, no, arrogance is fine too. A strong dragon has the right to be arrogant."

Thunder Dragon turned away in satisfaction.

Elith looked at the scene and coldly said: "Noisy."

Sunako immediately shut her mouth.

But only for three seconds.

"I’m just cheering for morale..."

No one paid attention to her.

Inside the room, Nanoe looked at the battlefield gradually being brought under control, then looked again at the general chat channel which had grown much quieter.

A few level 6 Survivors were still online, but no one continued to oppose.

This was enough.

There was no need for everyone to submit immediately. As long as they learned to hesitate before reaching out, that was enough.

Morie looked at Nanoe and softly said: "Do you really think this apartment complex can be stabilized?"

Nanoe smiled.

"It can."

"By what means?"

Nanoe looked at her.

"By fear."

Morie softly fell silent.

Nanoe stood up. The thin towel on her body shifted with her motion, exposing her soft, alluring figure to the extreme. But at this moment, no one dared to view her as merely a beautiful woman.

Her eyes curved.

The smile was still gentle.

But the gaze beneath that smile was as sharp and cold as a blade laid beneath the moonlight.

"This apartment complex..."

"Should also be stabilized a bit now."
