T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 37. The Number One PVE Guild (Please continue reading)

The community's summary of "Dream Master" is very accurate.

"A coward who brings the repression of reality into the game and vents his anger on the weak."

"Their methods are no different from those of street thugs; when a person has no shame, they are invincible."

"They figured out the psychology of a powerful player base who didn't want to be disturbed in the early stages of development, so they covered themselves in excrement, became a maggot in a sea of ​​excrement, and kept swarming people with their pupae, making them want to stay away from them."

Powerful players are busy developing and growing.

A group of players of equal skill level might not be able to afford to waste time.

Solo players who aren't in a group dare not offend them; if they enter a conflict zone to do something, they have to bring out materials, throw them on the ground, and pay protection money.

Relying on purely disgusting behavior, the Dream Lord has expanded his guild to 50 members.

"Haven't you seen the world yet, kid?" The Lord of the Night sneered. "Has no one taught you to leave room for maneuver in your words? It benefits both sides. You speak so bluntly, haven't you been beaten down by the world?"

"So, you, someone who's been beaten down by society, come to the game to swagger around and collect cyber protection money?" Jiang Heyi laughed. "Life must be really tough for you now."

"The greatness of the dream master needs no further explanation."

The onlookers burst into laughter.

The Night Lord's face turned pale and then flushed, and his lips twitched unnaturally.

It was clear that those words had struck a nerve with him; the Night Lord's gaze towards Jiang Heyi was now filled with nothing but resentment.

"Looks like you don't know there's an item in this game that can invade the world bubble." His face was particularly gloomy. "With such a sharp tongue, you won't be able to play the game properly in the future. Don't regret it."

In front of everyone, Jiang Heyi took out the [Thief's Key].

"The last person who hacked and stole progress is long gone, you're welcome to try."

"in addition……"

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath and proudly announced, "The boundary between the real and the virtual has just been breached, and we have conquered the fourth level of the Underground Temple of the Clarity."

After a brief silence, the scene erupted in uproar.

"Potatoes will grow, it's not that we don't believe it... but could you show us proof of passing the level, like something dropped?"

Someone immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, we really don't mean to disbelieve you at all, after all, you'll most likely release a video tomorrow... so, could you satisfy our curiosity in advance?"

"Please, Potato Bro, let me give up!"

He asked the guild for a screenshot of the original flavor fries and then posted it to the regional channel.

The appearance of the Elemental Heart set completely ignited the players present.

This is the recipe for a red-quality set; only gold and rainbow sets can be better.

Immediately, a player wisely offered a magic stone.

"Potato Guild Leader, you cleared the level wearing this initial outfit?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the uproar grew even louder.

At this stage, which player isn't a scavenger, dressed in rags, looking like a frog-headed stitched monster from the Dust-Cleansing Layer? Even monsters would shake their heads at the sight of them.

The differences between people are so great.

Both are scavenging for scraps, so why is it that someone dressed in the same tattered clothes can break through high-difficulty dungeons, while they have to open their mouths and close their eyes to deal with a monster on the roadside and fall to the ground, lying on the roadside waiting for their teammates to rescue them?

Didn't the Proof of the Stars give everyone a new starting point? Why are some people able to get ahead of the game?

“Vice President of the Night Lord, you just said you wanted to invade us.” Jiang Heyi toyed with the Stealer’s Key in his hand. “First, you have to conquer the fourth level of the Clarity Monastery. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to see the world bubble where the boundary between reality and illusion is located.”

"Oh, by the way, [Dream Master] is a big guild. Have they passed the first level yet?"

Not everyone can remain calm and composed in front of countless onlookers, especially when their dignity and self-respect have been trampled on by the other party.

Lord Night fully embraced the spirit of Ah Q, leaving behind the words, "We excel at PVP, not PVE," and "The guild war will reveal the truth in half a month," before immediately turning and leaving.

His forced composure was shattered by the jeers, and he tripped and nearly fell flat on his face.

His disheveled appearance immediately drew a burst of extremely joyful laughter, mixed with insults that were difficult to approve.

Players who were already disgusted by their shameless behavior both online and offline are finally relieved – a big shot has finally come along to teach these crazy bastards who are polluting the environment a lesson.

Playing games in your sleep and bringing your real-life anxieties and negativity into the game highlights your constant stress. It's an insult to those players who have been waiting anxiously and can only satisfy their cravings with snippets of gameplay footage.

Thinking of their friends who are still waiting anxiously for the second draw, the players who felt the same way couldn't help but cheer.

"Those orphans who rule the Dream Realm deserve a beating."

"Supporting the boundary between the virtual and the real world is a blatant act of hypocrisy."

"Potatoes grow strong, potatoes grow to insult and become powerful, just like those scum who rule the dream world!"

"I'll take a magic stone!"

"I am just a little fish."

"I'm giving you a piece of black iron ore, it's not worth much, but it's a token of my appreciation. I hope you'll continue to be so sycophantic in the future!"

Things suddenly took a strange turn.

Jiang Heyi's original intention was to take advantage of the information gap to sell the materials he brought at a higher premium, but because he disliked the Dream Master and spoke out for justice, he immediately became the one being fed.

Players from various world chat rooms all gave gifts, though most were short of money and the gifts were mostly the lowest-grade white ones, but the sheer volume was overwhelming. In just one minute, Jiang Heyi's backpack was bursting at the seams, completely overflowing.

There were even more than a dozen purple materials among them.

"Thank you, thank you so much for your support. As I said, there are very few people on the border between the virtual and real worlds, so it's very, very poor. Therefore... I'll just accept it without hesitation."

"Of course, I won't take it for free," Jiang Heyi announced. "Tomorrow I will release some useful tips on how to deal with monsters in the Cleansing Layer. I hope everyone can benefit from them."

With the example of the Dream Master, a humanoid creature who seeks existence in the virtual world when reality is unsatisfactory, Jiang Heyi's words immediately shone with holy light.

Jiang Heyi teleported back to the guild, but the players in the Pilgrims' Square had not yet dispersed.

While lamenting that the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs, they exchanged information about the Temple of the Clarity.

In the corner, several players who had arrived after the Night Lord had been verbally abused and left in a huff looked in the direction Jiang Heyi had left, each with a thoughtful expression.

The members of the guild 【You and Me Under the Funny Tree】 are discussing it animatedly.

[A Dream of Yellow Millet]: "That chairman is a very capable person."

[My sword is not without its advantages]: "If we only consider PVE, that's true."

【A Fleeting Dream】: "We've challenged the underground temple twice already, and our best result so far is only managing to parry the monster once, barely making it visible for a second. And even I have to admit that there was an element of luck involved."

"But at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, their equipment is worse than ours, and they have fewer people than us. They have already advanced to the next four levels."

"Their personal skills, their ability to respond quickly after gathering information, their pre-war preparations—they must have done everything to the best of their ability... It's terrifying to even think about it."

[My sword is not without its disadvantages]: "Maybe they were just lucky. I always feel that there must be a huge element of luck in their ability to conquer all four levels. How much useful information can a normal person get from a battle? Surely it's not like five people at the boundary between reality and illusion can open up?"

[Jiangdong Iron Wall]: "Your words and your name don't exactly reflect your later intelligence; they're more like a complete tribute."

[My sword has never been ineffective]: "What do you mean?"

[Jiangdong Iron Wall]: "I agree with Sister Meng. The boundary between the real and the virtual is just a bunch of talented monsters gathered together. You should honestly admit the strength of the other side."

[My sword is not without its weaknesses]: "Alright, alright, mine, mine. But it seems there's nothing to worry about. Being strong in PVE doesn't mean being strong in PVP. Maybe I'll just become one of the crowd in guild wars?"

[Jiangdong Iron Wall]: "Wow, you've just given someone a loan and they're completely ordinary. Is Yuan Benchu ​​himself back in action?"

[My sword has never been at a disadvantage]: "Try mentioning that nickname again!"

"Also, they only have 5 people, which is two short of the 7-person guild requirement."

"Didn't you hear them say that you need to find people who fit the atmosphere of your small circle? They're so self-absorbed, it's not that easy to find them. Don't worry unnecessarily."

"In the end, they'll just find two random people to make up the numbers. Even if, as you say, all five of them are incredibly talented, how can they possibly turn the tide by dragging along two burdens?"

Not everyone is obsessed with the temple. After the news of the guild war spread, guilds in the game that focus on PVP began practicing intensively.

As they challenged each other more often, a circle formed, and they could roughly tell who was stronger and who was weaker.

Aside from those guilds that don't make much noise, the PVP community's attention has unanimously fallen on the guild with only 5 members, Virtual Boundary.

The reason is simple: like the guild 【Funny Tree】, which boasts an 8% win rate in both one-on-one and group battles in PVP, they simply can't fathom the boundaries between reality and illusion.

The claim that someone is good at PvE but not necessarily good at PvP is often just a fig leaf for the weak.

Truly skilled players are those who can apply what they've learned to other situations and grasp concepts instantly.

"If we participate, please don't let us run into... an unlucky guy as a test run."

Even before the guild war began, the atmosphere became tense.

Jiang Heyi was unaware of the enigmatic image of the boundary between reality and illusion in the PVP community. He had just returned with a backpack full of materials when Zhong Zemo suspected him of robbing the Fengjia City general store.

After explaining her actions, Plain Fries gently rubbed her lips with her fingers—an unconscious gesture as she pondered.

"It looks like our account is about to reach new heights in popularity," she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was clearly a good thing, but I couldn't detect any joy in her tone. What a unique response...

The jailer snapped his fingers: "Maybe by then, my income will be enough to take you guys on a food tour of Guangzhou."

"Too bland."

The plain fries' one sentence triggered the prison guard's talkative nature.

"Wow, you really need to know how to eat! Fresh ingredients should definitely bring out their natural flavor to taste good. Chicken should taste like chicken, duck should taste like duck. Those big, free-range chickens that were running around on the hillside just ten minutes ago, slaughtered and eaten fresh, tsk tsk, the meat quality... Good ingredients are expensive. Oh, let me tell you about that duck..."

Even the most indifferent person, like plain fries, has their moments of weakness, and social terrorist Jailer Bro is one of them.

She quickly looked to Jiang Heyi for help: "Turn off the chatterbox switch."

Jiang Heyi handed over all the goods in his backpack to the prison guard.

"what?"

“Go out and trade. Aren’t you good at talking? Exchange the materials for forging weapons back,” Jiang Heyi added. “If possible, take two sets.”

The jailer brandished his guns, beaming smugly: "A piece of cake..."

He realized what he meant: "Two portions? Where are we going to get a second portion of the Heart of Elements?"

“Yes, I do.” Jiang Heyi grinned. “Have you forgotten the two sets of universal [universal forging fragments] that Orange Tea found for us?”

Sorry, but the guild has some lucky players who can do whatever they want.

　When there's an update suddenly appearing when you think there haven't been any, that's also a kind of delay.
