T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 102, Question 101: Do Mint and I have a child?
The wonderful afterglow of victory enveloped everyone on the boundary between reality and illusion for a whole day, and showed no signs of dissipating.

When they went online, everyone was still chattering and sharing what they had found in the community.

Enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention is also an essential part of the experience.

The pleasant atmosphere was broken by Jiang Heyi's initial confusion, followed by a surprised shout.

Where are our potions?

Everyone who is preparing to enter the dungeon should immediately check the guild warehouse.

No more, all gone.

Peppermint Mom prepared so many potions for them that not a single one was left!
The noisy noise woke Mint from her sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and came out.

Seeing everyone rummaging through drawers looking for potions, Mint stretched lazily: "Hmm~~~~ Potions? I've already taken them all to refine."

"Further refinement, what does that mean?"

Mint sighed and glanced at everyone with the look one would give a country bumpkin.

Just how lacking is your common sense?

"A skilled potion master who is proficient in pharmacology can extract and reuse some of the ingredients in potions."

"The guild had accumulated some of my ordinary and defective products, so I refined them all at once to allocate new ones for you all," Mint said, shrugging. "Such shrewdness, aren't you going to thank me?"

After being refined, only 12 potions remained at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

Two bottles of potent Elemental Decoy Potion.

3 bottles of Awakening Wind Potion.

Five bottles of the final potential potion.

And two bottles of elemental combustion flasks.

The monsters on the sixth floor of the underground temple are likely to be twice as difficult. Considering the safety of Jiang Heyi and the others, and with the boundary between the virtual and real worlds away from home, Bohe has basically devoted all her energy to this task.

The efficacy of the medicine has been greatly enhanced, aiming to ensure that even if they cannot win a fight, they can definitely escape.

Before I knew it, Mint had become inseparable from everyone around her.

Rather than seeking revenge on that person, perhaps... living with these people who believe in me isn't so bad.

The original flavor fries retrieved the Elemental Heart weapon that Garcia had crafted.

No one could break through the 80 quality level and obtain 3 blessing attributes, but they all hovered around 70.

Forging five excellent weapons using top-quality materials in a short period of time is a huge challenge for any master craftsman.

Garcia's ability to produce such quality despite working non-stop demonstrates that his title of master craftsman is well-deserved.

Perhaps due to the influence of guild wars, they felt that "Swift Steps" was a good thing during the preliminary rounds and all expressed their need to enhance their speed.

How joyful it is to break through the body's limitations and run wildly by expending some physical energy!

The wish was a great success. In addition to the inherent elemental blessing of the Heart of Elements, the only person at the boundary between reality and illusion who did not join the Stepping into the Wind Club was Jiang Heyi.

Seeing everyone getting their new weapons and eagerly trying them out, happily running around the guild, Jiang Heyi felt envious…

Original Fries deliberately swaggered up to him: "There's only one person in the whole guild who doesn't fit in. Who do you think that person is?"

Jiang Heyi wiped his short sword: "Immaculate Light, Spiritual Attack, it's really cool."

"Woohoo~~~" The big black rat transformed into a blur and gracefully glided past the bend, her joyful voice echoing throughout the guild.

Behind her were Zhong Zemo and other older children, chasing each other like they hadn't grown up yet.

“It’s alright, the Light of Immaculate Purity is fine too,” Jiang Heyi emphasized.

"Did someone ask you what you're talking to yourself about?" Plain Fries was trying not to laugh.

With weapons in hand and potions ready, the entire crew of the virtual-real boundary, as is customary before setting off, embraced Mint.

This has become a set ritual; every time we go out, I feel like something's missing if I don't hug him.

"If you sense anything is wrong, you must run."

"Don't be reluctant to throw away the potions. With me here, you'll never run out."

Mint still offered those same few words of advice, much like a mother chasing after her wandering child to give them instructions.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but reach out and rub the head of the mint plant.

A crack spread across the field of vision, and the sound of brittle objects breaking came from all directions.

Jiang Heyi was startled and looked around.

Things seemed to have been paused; the mannequins, mint, garlic sprouts, and others, as well as everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion, remained motionless.

The guild walls they were in were riddled with cracks, the fissures extending from the physical structure into the void. The entire "image" shattered rapidly, scattering across a vast, dark, and chaotic curtain.

Is there a problem with the equipment?
The connection was lost due to an unexpected situation; perhaps that's what happened?

This was Jiang Heyi's first reaction.

“Woooooooo~~~”

Suppressed sobs came from the far distance, ethereal and distant.

Jiang Heyi subconsciously tilted her ear to listen.

The sound grew closer and louder.

Unable to discern direction, it seemed to come from above, engulfing him like a tide from all directions.

The sound of crying gradually became clearer.

"Wake up... wake up, don't leave us..."

Overwhelmed by uncontrollable emotions, the girl burst into tears.

Jiang Heyi's vision began to tremble violently. The shattered, frozen images resonated at a strange frequency, eventually dissipating into a sky full of fluorescent light.

He was left standing alone, lost in the vast darkness. What had happened?
His head was throbbing, as if something had suddenly crawled into Jiang Heyi's head. Stiffness, numbness, and dull pain struck at the same time, and his body was covered in sweat, burning hot.

As the world spun around her, the ethereal voice became more and more real, and drew closer and closer to her.

Gradually, Jiang Heyi felt the warmth and weight on his chest.

The wet liquid constantly dripping down his cheeks awakened his numb and sluggish body.

He struggled to open his eyes, and what came into view was a head of fluffy, messy red hair. The strands of hair brushed against the tip of his nose, and the faint smell of sweat awakened his sense of smell.

The salty taste of the tears that flowed down his lips awakened his sense of taste.

"Uh……"

Jiang Heyi tried to move, but found his body was extremely stiff. He felt numb all over after using just a little strength.

The action caught the attention of the crying girl.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide with disbelief, her bright sea-blue eyes first showing surprise, then being filled with overwhelming joy.

"You're awake! You're finally awake!"

"May the gods protect us! May the gods protect us!"

She threw herself on Jiang Heyi, took his hand, and kept expressing her gratitude.

The movement was too large, and it seemed to have pulled something on the table, causing a jarring sound as the object fell and shattered.

"Mint?"

The woman in front of Jiang Heyi was clearly a slightly older version of Mint, with her signature red hair and deep sea-blue eyes that were hard to forget once you saw her.

"I'm here, I'm here. Please don't strain. You've finally woken up. I'll do whatever you want."

Mint was unusually anxious, and her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

"what happened?"

Jiang Heyi felt a terrible headache, as if his head was completely covered by something.

"You don't remember?" Mint's mouth gaped open in surprise. "During the hunt, you encountered a hybrid demi-human, and only you survived. You don't remember any of that?"

Jiang Heyi stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

"Hunting... hunting?"

"A hybrid demi-human?"

Mint walked to the table next to her, poured a glass of warm water, sat down on the edge of the bed, gently helped Jiang Heyi up, let him lean on her shoulder, and fed him a big gulp.

"During the battle, you were thrown over by the aftershocks, rolled into the cave, and hit a protruding rock, bleeding profusely."

“When the other adventurer groups found you, you were already dead…” Mint started crying again as she spoke, “For ten whole days… I thought I would never see you wake up again.”

Jiang Heyi felt increasingly bewildered, a chill carrying a sense of absurdity shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He saw his head wrapped up like a dumpling in the mirror that Mint brought him, as well as various parts of his body that were being marinated in magic potion.

These are all evidence of how Mint managed to snatch him back from the clutches of death over the course of ten days.

"The boundary between reality and illusion?"

"Guild War?"

"what are you saying?"

Jiang Heyi's words not only made Mint's face look confused but also frightened, and the tears that had just stopped started to flow again.

"You went to sell potions around Windpod City and we caught you, remember?"

"Fengjia City is on the border of the empire, so far away from Xiangfeng City, how could I possibly go there?"

"Then, what about the Star Speaker Academy?" Jiang Heyi asked again, his tone more urgent. "You studied there, and there was someone there who was a formidable rival to you, Mint, a genius."

Mint shook her head, trembling: "What...what are you talking about? I have never studied at the Star Speakers Academy...how could someone like me possibly enter the Imperial Academy?"

Jiang Heyi leaned slumped against her shoulder, breathing rapidly.

Mint took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat-soaked body: "It seems like you had a very, very long dream?"

"A dream?" Jiang Heyi asked incredulously. "But I... I clearly live in modern society."

"Modern society?" Mint tilted her head. "Aren't we right now?"

Jiang Heyi had a terrible headache. He wanted to say words like "television," "cell phone," "computer," and "Proof of the Stars," but he found that his thoughts couldn't be translated into words. His mouth was slightly open, and his Adam's apple bobbed as if he was about to vomit, which startled Bohe, who brought him a basin of water.

When a dream ends, one loses the concept of the things in the dream; those clear and real things gradually turn into fragments of thoughts that are difficult to describe.

After Bohe explained, Jiang Heyi lay down with his eyes vacant.

Wandering on the border between life and death, glimpsing illusions...?

But why does it feel so real?
Not wanting to get sweaty, Bohe took off her large robe to wipe Jiang Heyi's body.

Jiang Heyi stared in surprise at her slightly protruding belly.

"you are pregnant?"

"You haven't recovered yet, so it's normal that you can't remember."

Mint, whose eyes were red from crying, now had a flushed face.

"Isn't this all you do to take the risk and earn more commission?"

Mint gently kissed Jiang Heyi's cheek, nuzzling him like a kitten.

"We'll remember... After all, this is our child."

"Have you forgotten? You named him/her Garlic Sprout."
