T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 10. Never before has there been such a wonderful start.
Just as Jiang Heyi had predicted, it was difficult to fight, but not impossible.

In that instant, his and the original flavor fries' reactions and actions were at their maximum. Predicting and countering—if either one was not done well, the team would inevitably suffer losses.

Dancing on the edge of a knife, challenging difficult monsters and successfully bringing immense satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, Jiang Heyi's heart pounded.

He performed an extreme maneuver, personally eliminating a werewolf with his original-flavor fries while maintaining a calm expression, as if he had done something insignificant.

However, her unconscious rubbing of her fingers betrayed her unsettled state of mind.

"Do you understand the value of Ice Spike? Do you understand the value of Elemental Shield?" The jailer raised his hands high. "Awesome! We are the champions!"

The "original flavor fries" persona couldn't hold up anymore, and she covered her forehead.

Orange Tea looked blankly at Zhong Zemo beside her.

"We usually call this the battlefield atmosphere group. Although their contribution is small, they have a lot of voices."

It's a bit premature to let Orange Tea understand the ultimate fun-loving nature of the prison guard.

The werewolf's life force was exhausted, and pale blue light rose up. In an instant, its body was torn to pieces.

The rainbow-like light from the firefly screen made everyone's eyes widen.

"Holy crap!" the jailer shouted, raising his arms. "I've never had such a wonderful start!"

The first battle after teleporting yielded a rainbow; is the drop rate really that high?
"Orange Tea, go and draw the lottery."

Orange Tea was taken aback when Jiang Heyi called her name.

"Ah, me?"

No one objected to this decision.

[Unknown revelations] are highly uncertain, and the voices in the revelations can sometimes lead you astray with a sinister twist.

As the skill description says, what comes from prayer is not necessarily goodwill.

However, all the insights Orange Tea has received so far have been positive, especially considering that she was gifted purple materials and equipment by an unknown witch shortly after entering the game...

When playing games, one always has to believe in some superstition.

As you lightly touch the iridescent bubbles with your fingertips, a dazzling rainbow of light fills the passageway.

20 customizable avatar fragments.

Even the most composed plain fries couldn't stay calm.

As a result, Jiang Heyi only got 10 selectable avatar fragments from the rainbow drop in the short essay, while Orange Tea got twice as many as he did with a casual opening.

"Is this... a good thing?"

Orange Tea was unaware that this phrase was considered taboo in many gaming groups.

Pretending to be a complete newbie who knows nothing about the game just to show off their loot drop records, this premeditated Leopard Jump is known for its obvious starting move.

But coming from Orange Tea, it all sounded perfectly natural.

“If you remove the ‘吗’ (ma), it’s a good thing, a rare find,” Zhong Zemo explained.

Although no one has unlocked the avatar-related content yet, its extremely high difficulty in obtaining makes it anything but ordinary.

No game designer would design the most difficult-to-obtain items and materials to be completely useless, right?
Could there really be such an outrageous plan and manufacturer?

Unlike basic materials, avatar fragments are bound upon acquisition and cannot be traded or gifted.

As the team leader, Jiang Heyi has the authority to coordinate the allocation of resources such as dropped items.
After exchanging a glance with the original-flavored fries, he suggested, "The scraps go to Orange Tea, since she contributed the most. I'll keep the other ingredients for now and distribute them when we get back."

Orange Tea pointed to herself in surprise, somewhat incredulous at the distribution results.

After all, she said when she joined that her allocation order could be lower, or even less.

The jailer, who was the loudest in claiming credit, was the first to agree, followed by Original Fries and Zhong Zemo.

Orange Tea, who doesn't play games much, didn't know that, compared to the friction during cooperative gameplay, the distribution of dropped items was the biggest problem that broke up countless teams.

Those who can be as considerate as Jiang Heyi in completing the allocation are usually from a small circle with very good relationships and who know each other well.

More than the ownership of the valuable materials, everyone is concerned about whether they can still enjoy playing the game together tomorrow.

A good social atmosphere and gaming partners with similar values ​​are priceless.

For such a small circle to accept someone, everyone must vet them.

When Jiang Heyi announced that the best drop would go to her, it proved that the orange tea had basically gained everyone's approval.

After a brief recovery, the group began to return the way they came.

Because one werewolf escaped, the jailer used all his magic to maintain the six light jellyfish above the team's heads.

As if intimidated by the strength of Jiang Heyi's team, they were not attacked again.

Back in the empty underground plaza, Jiang Heyi decided to walk towards the middle passage where Orange Tea had only received silence in response to his two revelations.

It didn't take long for them to reach the end.

"dead end?"

Confused, Zhong Zemo slammed his shield against the thick rock wall.

As a skilled Souls-like player, you'll always find yourself venturing into challenging and exploratory situations when faced with walls that don't quite fit together.

The force feedback was incredibly realistic; Zhong Zemo's hands went numb, but the wall remained completely still.

To be on the safe side, the jailer cast an earth element spell, but after resonating with the wall, it did not trigger any unusual phenomena.

This place is nothing special.

"Orange tea, another revelation."

After several such incidents, Jiang Heyi and the others had come to believe in the incredible good fortune brought by the orange tea.

As soon as Orange Tea opened its eyes, the jailer couldn't wait to ask, "What did it say this time?"

"A lamp." "A lamp?" Zhong Zemo loosened his grip on the shield. "What do you mean?"

"Huh?" Jiang Heyi responded subconsciously.

"Oh, I meant, what does the 'lamp' mentioned in the unknown revelation mean?"

The original-flavor fries, which had just had their weapon durability repaired on the spot, raised their heads and reminded everyone: "So far, the revelation of orange tea has only had positive effects."

Jiang Heyi frowned, his gaze following the original flavor fries to the wall lamp he had just ignored.

The lampstands, embedded on both sides of the rock wall and powered by magic crystals, had long been unusable due to energy depletion.

"Light up."

The only magician in the group, Jailer Bro, began lighting up the wall lamps one by one along the corridor.

Despite the erosion of time, the magic base still functions perfectly, and warm yellow light fills the passage, illuminating this ruin that has been buried for countless years once again.

The team, who were waiting for changes, were disappointed once again; the passage remained unchanged.

Seeing the original flavor fries get up and head back the way they came, Zhong Zemo asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Find another werewolf and kill it."

The prison guard, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground deep in thought, suddenly clapped his hands.

"Makes sense."

Monsters are still active in the area, and the monsters haven't all been cleared out yet. Who knows if any crucial information might have been missed on that werewolf?

Monsters are the root of all problems; kill them all, and the problems will naturally be solved.

Why did you come back?

The jailer had walked a distance and could see the plaza outside the passage, but he didn't know why the original flavor fries had stopped and were even backing away.

The movement of the original flavor fries drawing his knife brought him to an abrupt halt, not because he was afraid the original flavor fries would find him long-winded and chop him up, but because he caught a glimpse of the lights that had come on in the square.

The dark red wall lamp cast a deep, shadowy light.

He didn't even go to the base of the wall lamp outside the square to trigger it.

If it wasn't him, then who was keeping the lights on?

Surely it wasn't the werewolf who thought they were afraid of the dark and thoughtfully lit up blood lamps to guide them?

"Let's move outwards," Jiang Heyi decided. "There's not enough space here. If a battle breaks out, we won't have any room to hide or move around."

The formation was quickly adjusted. Zhong Zemo was at the front of the team, holding a shield and slowly pushing forward, while Jiang Heyi and Original Flavor Fries gripped their weapons tightly, ready to unleash a burst of power.

The jailer's six light jellyfish were the first to fly out of the passage. The light they cast disappeared into the constantly flashing dark red light screen before it could last even a moment.

The flashing red light gave Jiang Heyi the illusion that a raging sea of ​​blood was churning outside the passage.

"Ouch~~~~"

A sharp wolf howl echoed through every corner of the ruins, followed by the scraping of claws against the rock wall outside the passage, and a deafening roar of magic exploding.

"Get out! Get out!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

The frenzied shouts and wolf howls intertwined, and the piercing buzzing mingled with the shockwaves of the explosion, blasting into the eardrums of every member of the squad.

Too much realism isn't a good thing either. Jiang Heyi and the others, who were completely immersed in the game, forgot that they were just players, immortal beings.

At this moment, driven by intense curiosity, they risked re-energizing the Starry Sky Jade and moved to the vicinity of the passage entrance.

The werewolf was all outline and no substance, its two eyes glowing with an eerie red light.

Not far ahead, a nun's spirit, dressed in a nun's habit and pale all over, held a lamp in her right hand and clenched something tightly in her left.

She seemed to cherish what was in her left hand, slowly raising her hand and pressing it against her heart.

“This nun wouldn’t be…” Zhong Zemo swallowed.

“It’s the same person I met, and the lantern is exactly the same.”

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the werewolf's eyes suddenly turned from red to green. The werewolf blinked, as if it had forgotten to turn off the flash and press the shutter button. A strange green light flashed across the entire square.

The lantern in the ghost nun's hand suddenly burst into flames, the pale flames seemingly capable of scorching the spirit itself, causing her to scream and release her grip.

Everything happened in less than two breaths. The werewolf's explosive power brought him close to the nun in an instant, and then...

He stomped on and shattered the lantern that had fallen to the ground.

Jiang Heyi's eyes narrowed slightly. The moment the lantern broke, the ghost nun's body visibly became illusory, like a cloud of white mist about to dissipate.

The situation is chaotic and cannot be sorted out.

Jiang Heyi glanced at the ghost nun, then at the werewolf stomping on the lantern in a fit of rage, and gritted his teeth.

"Let's go, let's break up the fight."

Orange Tea looked surprised: "How do you... how do you mediate a fight?"

Which of these two seems more reasonable?

"To mediate a fight means to kill both sides involved." Zhong Zemo charged forward, shield in hand.

Original Fries had long been unable to suppress the urge to draw her knife; she was even positioned ahead of Zhong Zemo, highlighting her aggressive nature.

"Wow, nun, here I come!"

Some were at a loss, some were dutiful, some fought to their hearts' content, and some exposed their fantasies.

On the battlefield, everyone is busy.

As the team leader, Jiang Heyi, who is the most clear-headed, is out of place.
