T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 59, Section 58: The Mint Potion Recipe

During dinner, Zhong Zemo brought up his divorce.

After running away from home, Du Jingwen made a scene, trying to force Zhong Zemo to show up by calling the police and harassing him with phone calls. She also tried to enter the school.

But after a series of setbacks, she became strangely quiet.

He was unusually cooperative with the lawyer sent by the prison guard.

The phrase "Let's get a divorce then, who's afraid of who?" allowed the divorce process to proceed smoothly.

Both sets of parents tried to stop it, but Zhong Zemo was adamant and didn't give them any room for dialogue.

While eating salt-fried pork and braised pork knuckle, and drinking soybean, winter melon and pork rib soup, Jiang Heyi couldn't understand why Du Jingwen was making such a fuss.

Zhong Zemo has no bad habits and no temper. He is a model of a nice person both online and offline, and his popularity is beyond question.

He just wanted some hobbies and a little private space, but they wouldn't give him that.

"She's putting immense pressure on you, betting that you'll back out, betting that you'll panic."

Jiang Heyi ate without even looking up; it was so delicious.

Thanks to Du Jingwen's mischievous actions, Zhong Zemo was able to stay at her house temporarily, and she cooked a variety of dishes every day. It was a life of luxury.

“I’m not in a hurry, and I won’t go back on my word.” Zhong Zemo sighed deeply. “It’s been more than two years, and it feels like only the first six months after we got married were a normal life. After that, I was just like I was in jail.”

Do you think someone who has been released from prison would miss the feeling of being confined?

"Being able to allocate my time freely and log on with you guys on time is really great."

Jiang Heyi took a sip of soybean, winter melon, and pork rib soup to rinse her mouth.

The soup had a sweet and refreshing taste, just like Zhong Zemo's state of mind at this moment after escaping from danger.

“Then let the jailer’s lawyer speed things up. By the way…” Jiang Heyi asked curiously, “Have you asked the lawyer what kind of person the jailer is in real life?”

"Refined and easygoing, approachable, always grinning like an idiot." Zhong Zemo couldn't help but laugh.

He was somewhat different from the prison guard they knew.

When this sentence was passed to the prison guard, he perfectly demonstrated the "foolish joy" characteristic that the lawyer had mentioned.

"If you really want to know, just find some time to get together and you'll understand. Come to Guangzhou, I'll treat you to a proper meal."

"I think it's pretty good that the guild war is over. If we can get a good ranking and participate in the world championship, we can consider it a celebration before the expedition."

Bubbles immediately rose from the blankets: "You said you'd invite me, are you really going to invite me?"

"Press 1, please." The jailer made the decision.

"11111111" The blankets immediately followed.

"If I can really go... what about my classes? I still have classes to attend."

The orange tea made everyone laugh.

“There are a hundred ways to make up for your missed lessons, but the chance to represent the Chinese server in a competition may only come once,” Zhong Zemo emphasized.

The blanket immediately chimed in: "I need to consider whether this might be my only chance in this lifetime.jpg"

"Your optimism is truly enviable. The fight hasn't even started yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead," Jiang Heyi complained.

That's what they say, but it would be a lie to say that Jiang Heyi didn't crave the championship.

"So, making it to the semifinals is considered a success?"

"Maybe it really worked." Original Fries posted an official website link: "It's confirmed that there are only 4 direct invites to the World Championship for the Chinese server. If you can make it to the top 4, you can participate in the World Championship."

The qualification criteria have been established, but the competition format is still nowhere to be seen. It seems that the organizers intend to keep the suspense until the very last second before the start of the competition.

After going online, everyone looked around expectantly, only to learn from Garlic Sprouts that Mint had not returned.

Mint doesn't go home, and everyone on the boundary between reality and virtuality seems to be sealed inside the guild.

Remembering that Mint had gone out for a long time last time to make potions for them, everyone put aside their worries and went to the arena to practice.

but……

As the time for logging off approached, they still hadn't seen Mint appear.

"Don't worry, we'll see that guy jumping around in front of us tomorrow, holding a bunch of materials and cursing us for being useless little trash."

Jiang Heyi's words were so vivid that everyone burst into laughter.

However, when it went online again, the expected scene did not appear, and Mint was still nowhere to be found.

This time, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds is truly in a panic.

Players can communicate with each other via private chat, but long-distance communication between players and NPCs requires special items that players cannot obtain at this stage.

They had no idea what had happened to Mint or where she was.

Considering that Proof of the Stars is a dynamically running game world...

Keywords like "accident" and "unexpected event" kept popping into my mind.

The group, who were initially able to concentrate on practicing PVP, gradually became a little impatient.

As the game was nearing its end, Zhong Zemo couldn't hold back any longer.

"It's been three days, and there's still no news... Shall we go look for them?"

Even the plain fries turned their gaze over, their eyes revealing approval.

Everyone who had long considered Mint a member of the guild had reached their limit of patience.

Jiang Heyi was also feigning composure. He nodded and said, "If we still can't see Mint when we log on tomorrow, we'll go to the capital of Anna."

Based on the coordinates previously transmitted by Mint, her area of ​​activity is roughly from Fragrant Breeze City to the Royal Capital.

It's easy to say, but if you take out a map of the Anna Empire and circle these two regions, you'll see just how vast they are; finding someone here is like searching for a needle in a haystack. But…

We must find them!
"Sigh... I've developed feelings for my virtual pet."

“Deconstruction won’t make you feel too comfortable.”

Jiang Heyi saw through the prison guard's little trick of adjusting his emotions.

But he also truly experienced what it was like to be completely immersed in the world of stars. When the boundary between reality and illusion becomes increasingly blurred, whose heart can remain unaffected?

The boundary between reality and fiction, which used to be a daily breaking news story, has suddenly quieted down in the last two days, arousing the curiosity of many people.

Huangliang Yimeng privately messaged the prison guard: "Are you stuck on the sixth level?"

The jailer replied somewhat wistfully, "I haven't cleared the sixth floor; I've just been practicing PvP in the guild."

The dream of wealth and glory startled him.

It turns out that the sudden silence at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds these past two days was actually preparation for the guild war, for which they even put aside their temple strategy.

Not everyone is enthusiastic about guild wars, and they feel they have no chance of competing for a spot in the world championships, so they simply give up.

These core PVE players are now all focused on breaking through the fourth level of the underground temple and achieving results that bridge the gap between the virtual and real worlds.

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds is at its zenith. If we can overtake them, even if it's just during the time when they're busy with guild wars and have no time to spare, we can still make a name for ourselves.

"Does the boundary between reality and illusion want to have it all?" The members of the Funny Tree Guild were dumbfounded. "They want to lead in PVE and also excel in guild wars. This is too confident."

"They're putting in extra training sessions; they're aiming for a spot in the World Championship."

After midnight, it will be September 10th, the deadline for guild war registration.

The guild war officially began on September 11th.

At this critical juncture, the actions of each guild are attracting particular attention.

The news of preparations for war at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The community posts were popping up everywhere, and even casual gamers who didn't even have the right to play the game joined in the discussion.

No one knew that at this tense juncture, instead of using the last day to adjust their state and achieve a good start in the guild war, everyone on the boundary between the virtual and the real was looking for an NPC.

After checking the guild war registration page again and confirming that everyone had passed the verification, Jiang Heyi went to sleep with a feeling of trepidation.

Today, the unlucky Tetramorph reported in the group that he wouldn't be able to go online until at least 1 p.m., but no one could wait for him.

Even after going online, the guild still couldn't find that lively, energetic figure.

They took out materials from the guild warehouse and began to infuse energy, aiming directly at Fragrant Breeze City at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

"Whoosh~~~~"

A dazzling white light burst forth, and a staggering figure appeared in the guild hall.

She looked like she had rolled in a mud pit, covered in dirt, even her most cherished hat was splattered with mud. Only her sea-blue, jewel-like eyes remained bright, but her brows and eyes revealed endless weariness.

Carrying a huge burlap sack in both hands, with a slender waist wrapped around it, she returned, exhausted, with a full load of materials.

"Kids, I'm back."

She finished speaking breathlessly, untied the cloth bag wrapped around her waist, and collapsed to the ground.

She was so tired that Jiang Heyi arranged for the dolls to give her a bath. During this ordeal, she only vaguely woke up while having her hair washed and exclaimed, "It's so itchy."

It was indeed itchy. According to Garlic Sprout's description, she had many tiny scratches on her arms and thighs. The water flowing over them would occasionally jol her awake in her sleep.

Lying on the comfortable, soft bed, she was itchy from these tiny wounds and kept turning over, gently rubbing against the blankets.

The tension finally eased when Mint returned to the guild, and everyone felt completely relaxed.

Mint slept from daytime until nightfall.

Following Garlic Sprouts' instructions, everyone crowded into her room.

Everyone has a lot of questions to ask, but...

“Gu~~~~~”

Mint blushed and touched her head shyly.

Zhong Zemo's excellent cooking skills made her so eager to eat that she wolfed down a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and three large bowls of rice before finally collapsing comfortably onto the bed.

That expression was like someone who had come back to life.

"Hey, look at you guys, what's wrong? You must be worried sick while I wasn't home, right?" She said cheerfully as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Of course we were worried. You've been gone for so long without any news. We thought something had happened to you."

Mint's eyes widened, and seeing everyone staring intently at her, she immediately shrank back.

"Really? Is it true... am I really that worried?"

"Hmph, it must be because of the potion."

“I’m not kidding, everyone is really worried about you,” Jiang Heyi emphasized.

"..."

"..."

Her face flushed, and she quickly changed the subject: "I brought back a lot of materials for you, all of which were obtained by exchanging the materials I had previously saved up... uh, I mean, for."

"I'll refine some more potions for you after I rest a bit more. Don't worry, they'll be the best."

"By the way, would your puppets like to learn some new recipes? I can teach them."

　Wait a minute
