T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 26.26. The Invaded World Bubble

3 bottles of [unstable combustion agent], 3 bottles of [blinding dust].

This is the result of Mint and the puppet working together after everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds went offline.

She picked up the bottle containing blinding dust, shook the coal-black sand inside, and explained.

"The method of use is very simple: slightly pull the piston at the bottle opening until it is loose, then smash it on the enemy. It can temporarily blind most living beings."

Seeing that Orange Tea was excitedly reaching out to take it, she reminded her, "Don't use it against soulless things, and it's not advisable to use it against enemies stronger than you. It's just a clever trick, and it will have little effect on powerful magicians and monsters. You'd be better off turning around and running away."

"I've remixed the enchantment potion for your clothes."

"Who exactly are you people? You have the money to equip such excellent puppets, but you don't have the proper skills to teach them."

Mint glanced disdainfully at the few dolls standing to the side with their heads slightly bowed. When no one was around, these dolls seemed to have been severely lectured by Mint, and they looked quite aggrieved at the moment.

Although thinking this way felt unfair to Mint's initiative, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but associate her with Palu.

What an adorable and useful witch!

"How about some stardust for all the hard work I've put in?" she said with a smile, rubbing her hands together.

I take back my previous assessment; she's still a disgraceful witch.

“I don’t have any stardust, but I can give you some soul fragments.” Jiang Heyi asked curiously, “Are you short of money?”

“What are you saying? Apothecaries have huge expenses.” Mint patted her chest. “Every expense you make now is an investment in the future greatest potion master on the continent.”

"When I reach the peak, I will repay you a hundredfold."

“But you used all the materials from our guild, you didn’t use any at all. You took several bottles of the finished product and you even hoarded the materials we gave you.” Original Fries checked the guild records provided by Garlic Sprouts.

During the offline period, Mint used 4 bottles of Soul Shards to create 11 portions of Blinding Dust.

Four failed, seven succeeded.

Eight samples of the unstable combustion agent were successful, while three failed.

Both of the two unknown potions were successful.

"Damn it, didn't I avoid the doll's gaze... Such high intelligence."

Mint's subconscious muttering made everyone squint slightly.

"Anyway, anyway... you don't need to know too much about witches!"

"Wow, consider this my reward! Where did you find such a good pharmacist? He even helped train the puppets and improve the formula!"

Jiang Heyi rubbed his fingers: "Those two unknown potions..."

Mint quickly covered her hat and said in a conciliatory tone, "I'll give you one!"

After saying that, she hurriedly pulled out the pitch-black potion from her large backpack.

【Whispers of the Dead】: Creates a lure with a highly alluring scent for undead creatures at the point where the potion spreads.

"The enlightenment that Kovacs, the great apothecary of the Anna Empire, gained in his later years."

In his later years, he claimed to have witnessed miracles from the depths.

Zhong Zemo feigned anger: "You actually want to keep two bottles of this good stuff for yourself."

"Stop scolding me, stop scolding me... I won't do it again." Seeing that no one seemed to care, Mint tentatively said, "I'm thinking of leaving for a while..."

She breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the boundary between the real and virtual worlds did not pose a hindrance.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll come back after I sell everything."

After saying that, he left using the guild's precious gem.

Jiang Heyi checked the potion recipes possessed by the guild dolls and found that, as Mint had said, there were indeed some extra.

"At least it's reliable on the surface," Orange Tea remarked.

Equip the potion, complete the energy transfer at the boundary between reality and illusion, and teleport to the underground temple of the Clarity.

Sister Alna's spirit still hadn't appeared. Having confirmed this information, Jiang Heyi decided to readjust the coordinates of the Starry Sky Jade, setting them in front of the teleportation statue in the Cleansing Layer.

As always, upon arriving at the enclosed passageway of the underground tunnel, Jiang Heyi took out the Clearlight Lantern and shone it on the wall.

As the walls spun like a Rubik's Cube, a piercing sound echoed throughout the enclosed space.

"Invasion".

"Invasion".

"Invasion!"

The seagulls above the players' projection panel suddenly appeared on their own, circling above everyone's heads and calling out anxiously.

The five seagulls cried out in unison, their progressively increasing tone making everyone tense.

"What happened?" Plain Fries looked around, bewildered.

The jailer was also baffled: "Didn't we clear the first floor? Why is there an intrusion alarm now?"

The seagull cried out hoarsely, "World Bubble, approaching!"

The next second, the scenery in front of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion blurred, and everything appeared as double images.

The ground beneath their feet and the objects around them remained unchanged, yet the tremors emanating from the space sent shivers down their spines. Everything happened in the span of three or four breaths. The walls, illuminated by lanterns, hadn't fully opened, and a dark red hue cleaved the boundary between illusion and reality in the passageway before them.

The space was cleaved open by an extremely sharp blade, like a red-hot knife cutting through butter. The edge of the space first boiled and melted, and then scorched open a deep door that could accommodate two people passing through at the same time.

As the phantom wall leading to the first floor of the underground temple opened, invaders from another world bubble appeared before them.

Jiang Heyi recognized the leader and then smiled with relief and disdain.

It really lingers.

There are 13 people in total, and their equipment is mixed and matched with the boundary between reality and illusion.

"Wow, the amazing streamer [Watermelon Shumai]!"

The jailer's words were too powerful, and the watermelon shumai, who had been looking at Jiang Heyi with a smug expression, suddenly turned gloomy.

The human male, whose game was titled "The Clock Keeps Turning," proudly boasted about his achievement.

“Shumai, see if I’m right? They’re definitely the only active group here, and they even opened the phantom door that we needed to unlock.”

"Is this the kind of loyal fan who will stand by you through thick and thin, and even protect you when you slander others?" the jailer scoffed. "So pure, so pure, there are so many of them."

"People who cyberbully others really have the nerve to say such things."

"Cyberbullying?" Jailer Bro's attack speed was at its maximum, unleashing a barrage of attacks. "How did our Potato Bro cyberbully you? Oh, he just posted the whole story verbatim. I thought he was writing a long essay to distort the truth and incite his fans to attack innocent people."

"Waaaaah, I'm being cyberbullied, I'm going to get depressed... I'm 99% at fault, but doesn't Potato (the author) have 1% to blame?"

There was no need for Jiang Heyi to engage in a confrontation. The prison guard, a top-notch entertainer, was like Zhuge Liang, relentlessly mocking 15 Wang Langs until their faces turned red.

Moreover, he didn't utter a single swear word, and even quietly reminded everyone—"They will also record this on video."

He's really good at laning.

"Kill them!"

Unable to bear the humiliation, the "Wang Langs" knew that going against the tide would only bring further disgrace, so they decided to resort to force to resolve the conflict.

Players are not monsters, so Jiang Heyi dared not be careless and immediately ordered a retreat.

Several bottles quietly rolled to the ground as Jiang Heyi turned around.

Original Fries, having anticipated Jiang Heyi's actions, pulled out a spare, tattered dagger from his right palm.

Just as they were about to leave the passage and enter the temple area, Orange Tea suddenly received instructions and turned around to throw out a bottle of potion.

The blinding dust was shattered in mid-air by the quick-witted watermelon shumai and vermicelli.

"Still want to use magic..."

Before the words were finished, dust that dissipated with the wind enveloped them, and darkness suddenly descended.

Why can't I see it?

"How despicable! They actually used such a despicable drug!"

Original Fries had already aimed, and the dagger in his hand transformed into a throwing knife, passing through the wall of people and accurately hitting several inconspicuous bottles rolling in the darkness during the chase.

"It's alright, there are those who aren't despicable." Zhong Zemo held his giant shield in front of everyone. "Go back and enjoy your weakness!"

After a deafening roar, the blast wave engulfed the watermelon shumai and her fans.

Even a powerful monster like the Frog-Headed Stitches was ravaged by the potion, let alone a group of people with inferior equipment to the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion, who only had a numerical advantage.

"Look at them, they're so happy dancing in the fire!"

The jailer's words carried real damage. The firemen who had been struggling gave up using the potions and scrolls upon hearing this, and cursed angrily before they died.

"Look, look, you're in such a hurry. But there's no use in being in a hurry, time is running out."

The players who were instantly killed by the explosion and burns were lucky. Two unlucky guys who were at the front managed to escape, but were knocked to the ground by Zhong Zemo's shield parry.

Another person was stabbed in the ribs by a knife from a plain fries. The intense pain prevented him from exerting any force, and he could only kneel on the ground.

"Oh, so you're the 'Clock Hand' guy who gave the watermelon shumai idea." Jiang Heyi approached him with a cold smile, gesturing for the original flavor fries to be pressed down. "If you want to die and go back to the starting point without affecting your game time, why not answer one question for me?"

Time Hand Bro naturally understood how frustrating it would be to have his teleportation constantly interfered with, so he readily nodded.

"How did you manage to infiltrate WorldBubble?"

“A prop… a very special prop.” He turned around and pointed to the sea of ​​fire. “That person should be dead. The item has fallen. You can go and see for yourself.”

"Dropped after death?"

"If the item is killed by a player, the holder will lose control of it." Timekeeper Bro hurriedly explained, afraid of wasting more time, "It's a golden drop item with 3 uses."

As the flames died down, Jiang Heyi saw a bronze key lying on the ground, emitting a faint red glow.

[Stealer's Key]: The holder will gain the power to spy on and invade the world bubble space.

Number of uses: 2
"With a hidden power comparable to that of a god, and a talent for moving in the shadows, she has reached for the secrets of the gods."

"She flaunts this, and she will surely die because of it."

"The user will inevitably be tainted by evil."

Jiang Heyi did see a name in the crowd that was slightly reddish, and it seemed that was the cause.
