T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 6. This is what a lucky person looks like, according to Orange Tea.

Jiang Heyi only wanted to get to know his new teammates a little better, to prepare for whether they would spend time together temporarily or for a long time, but the prison guard got far more information than he had imagined...

【Flavored Orange Tea】is a gaming newbie.

The reason I joined the Stars of Proof was simply because I saw a friend sharing a reservation link during a discussion, and I clicked on it casually.

Prior to this, her gaming experience was limited to mobile games; she had no experience with consoles or PCs.

If cloud gaming counts as gaming experience, then she has indeed watched some game strategy videos.

Orange Tea was very candid, afraid that her lack of experience might be mistaken for "fraud".

Upon hearing that Jiang Heyi and his three companions were a fixed team, Orange Tea hesitated and said, "I might not be very good at it, so the material allocation can be done later, it's okay."

Hey, it's not a big deal if you're bad at the game.

Jiang Heyi and his friends know plenty of people who are terrible at games; if being bad at games is a sin, then they should at least be sentenced to life imprisonment.

After a game, the blood pressure of those playing with them fluctuates wildly, and the names on the Book of Life and Death flash back and forth. Adding an LED could blind the Ten Kings of Hell.

Sometimes Jiang He has to thank these silly friends for making him have the idea of ​​soaking goji berries for health at such a young age.

Because he has tasted so much, his mindset has become incredibly peaceful. He can calmly deal with being scammed or cheated.

Whether Orange Tea can become a long-term teammate depends on whether it can match the compatibility of the group.

When they met again in Windpod City, Orange Tea introduced herself to everyone and learned each person's nickname from the social terrorist, Jailer Bro.

Compared to a full ID, a fun nickname can shorten the distance between people much faster.

With the addition of orange tea, the team's composition finally looks presentable.

Jiang Heyi, ID: [Cyber ​​Potato]

Zhong Zemo, ID: [All Mankind Takes to the Skies]

Original Flavor Fries

All three chose the martial arts style. Except for Zhong Zemo, who tended to support and protect and raised a large shield, Jiang Heyi and Original Flavor Fries would choose a more offensive specialization in the future.

[Jailer Appraisal Expert], the only mage in the team.

【Flavorful Orange Tea】, a gaming newbie, full-time support player.

The original flavor fries are the highest grade, already at level 7.

Jiang Heyi, Zhong Zemo, and the prison guard are in the second tier, and they are only level 5.

Orange Tea lv4.

Jiang Heyi naturally became the captain of the five-person team, responsible for planning and decision-making.

Generally speaking, this kind of role is best played by a support-oriented character, such as Zhong Zemo who can draw fire and hold up a shield, or Ju Zicha, who can receive the focus of protection from the whole team.

Orange Tea is a complete newbie with almost zero gaming experience, so there's no need to consider it.

Zhong Zemo didn't want to be the team leader simply because he wanted to have a more relaxed time.

As for the original flavor fries...

"Not interested in."

Those three cold and simple words placed the responsibility on Jiang Heyi's shoulders.

The saying "the capable are often rewarded" probably refers to this.

Dandelion Street is the trading district in the northern part of Fengjia City. It connects directly to the main trade route of the Anna Empire after leaving the city gate. Therefore, caravans from the north and south stop here to sell their goods, and the shops along the street are bustling with activity.

Two days is enough time for players of the Stars of Proof to spontaneously and implicitly form some rules.

Along the road just across Dandelion Street, players holding up signs seeking to make trades can be seen everywhere – this is a spontaneous result.

Since the game allows players to turn off chat in the current area, many people chose to shout at the top of their lungs, creating a scene reminiscent of when Jiang Heyi's parents took her back to their hometown for Chinese New Year and happened to be there on market day.

"They don't even know how to make money. The Proof of the Stars should be launching something like a map megaphone or a world megaphone, put it in the store, and sales will be booming," Jailer Bro joked.

"Rumor has it that the planning is done by AI, and what you say will be turned into data and compiled up, and after being reviewed by the designers, it might just become a reality."

The guard immediately changed his tune after the original flavor fries were mentioned: "I was just kidding."

Jiang Heyi came here first to understand the current transaction situation and see if there was a more cost-effective way than directly trading shops.

Knowing that he was looking for a merchant to exchange goods, the jailer glanced around and pointed to a red-skinned troll holding up a sign not far away.

"Well, his ID seems quite trustworthy."

Can an ID reveal a person's credibility?

Jiang Heyi looked up.

[Reborn as a lewd god, I drained the emperor dry]

"..."

"..."

The game ID for "Proof of the Stars" can be up to twelve characters long, resulting in a constant stream of outrageous and unique IDs.

"How could you tell he's a businessman? He's just a player who wants to exchange materials."

Jiang Heyi was certain that the prison guard was doing it on purpose, because the next second he pointed at a merchant who was actually buying up and hoarding goods.

After asking several merchants, some chose the lowest-tier slime cores, whose production quantity was currently relatively stable, as their equivalent, while others chose tundra wolf pelts; the choices varied.

It seems that this round of the game still cannot determine what the main trading currency will be in the early stages. In that case, Jiang Heyi does not intend to waste time haggling with others. He will calculate and barter in rounds to make a "small profit". Compared with exploring the map, this is a case of losing more for less.

Upon revisiting the magical item shop they had visited before, the shopkeeper, Giant Spider, still remembered Jiang Heyi and the others.

"Thank you for choosing our Su Lan Workshop again. I wonder how I can help you this time?"

"Same as before, infuse the Starry Sky Gem."

All the items used to enter the Tranquil Forest were traded away, leaving none behind.

Instead of wasting time and effort searching for the uses of the Tree Spirit Heart, it's better to act early and pave the way for your own exploration.

In the past, Jiang Heyi would always treasure the materials and props he obtained from playing games, always wanting to use them wisely and for more important occasions, so he would hoard them all.

Even when you're stuck, you always think, "It's not time yet. Maybe it'll get even harder later."
I finished the game without even realizing it, only to find that the important items and materials were still untouched.

This is a subconscious habit that is hard to change, but this time, coming to the Proof of the Stars, he decided to try a different approach.

Use it when you can; if you can't use it to hatch eggs, then you should turn it into a visible asset.

The purple Treant Heart was quite expensive, and in exchange it yielded three infused ordinary magic stones. The other miscellaneous materials combined only amounted to one.

Four streams of light poured down, and the Starry Sky Jade began to glow faintly, with the countless stars on its surface flashing on and off.

"This is... just one breath away?" Zhong Zemo was disappointed but also somewhat excited.

Just as Jiang Heyi and the others decided to go out for another walk, Orange Tea, who had only been listening and hadn't participated in the conversation, spoke up.

"I have quite a few materials here. Take a look and see if any of them are usable."

Jiang Heyi was taken aback. Since they had just met, they subconsciously did not include the ingredients for orange tea in the transaction.

However, they didn't have high expectations for the orange tea. What valuable materials could a newbie gamer, who had just been scammed, possibly exchange for?

The four of them immediately gathered around the shared backpack.

Sure enough, it was a bag full of tattered clothes...

what?
Purple, purple, this is also purple...

Among the various materials, a few clusters of purple stood out.

Jiang Heyi and his companions went to great lengths to enter the dangerous area of ​​the Tranquil Forest before finally obtaining a purple Tree Spirit Heart, while Orange Tea, the newbie, had a whopping seven purple ones in her backpack.

It includes finished potions, monster materials, potion materials, and a necklace with a Wishing Star Stone that can be used by believers (equivalent to a weapon for other classes).

"Where did it come from?" Jiang Heyi was stunned.

"The potion and magic potion materials were given to me by chance when I was wandering around in the wild on the first day of the game. I met a very pretty older sister wearing a witch's hat. I just complimented her on how pretty she was and chatted with her for a while, and she gave them to me."

"The monster materials appeared when she snapped her fingers and instantly killed all the monsters around her when she left... I don't know why the materials were counted against me."

A snap of the fingers can instantly kill all monsters...

On the first day of the game, it was impossible for the player to possess such power. Without a doubt, Orange Tea encountered the natives of this game world and triggered some special event.

According to the description, she only complimented the other person's beauty, nothing more.

Does this work too?
Jiang Heyi didn't know the probability of such a special event being triggered, but after browsing various communication platforms intensively for the past two days, he was certain that he would encounter an extremely lucky person.

The prison guard's focus was completely different from everyone else's.

"Beautiful? How beautiful?"

"Fair skin, soft voice, slender and tall, large, bright, golden eyes..."

Jiang Heyi had no choice but to interrupt the jailer's questioning; he needed to confirm something.

"Are you sure...you've changed it?"

Orange Tea hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Let's switch. You guys are playing with me, so I have to give something in return. I might even drag you down. Consider it compensation for the team."

The "beast index" of the group that just killed Orange Tea rose sharply in Jiang Heyi and the others' minds.

If the orange tea's performance wasn't faked, then they've somehow crossed the line into something inhumane.

Six purple materials were appraised and exchanged for 14 ordinary magic stones. The giant spider shopkeeper even generously gave one extra, hoping to continue cooperating in the future instead of going a block away to trade with other players.

Jiang Heyi understood the deeper meaning behind those words.

It seems that the players didn't choose to trade directly on Dandelion Street not because they didn't want to, but because the local guilds had objections.

The feedback from these NPCs is so real.

"Aren't you going to trade the necklace too?" Orange Tea blinked curiously.

The previously silent plain fries finally spoke up.

"Keep it; maybe something else will happen if we meet that witch."

The magic stones shattered one after another, and the damaged starry jade shone even brighter and became even more lustrous.

With only 6 magic stones remaining, a cluster of glittering stars floated above the precious jade, their light reflecting off everyone's bodies. A faint, almost imperceptible force drew Jiang Heyi to trigger it, and in that instant, everyone in the team saw a view in the far distance.

That was the place where the girl with the lantern and the ghost nun appeared.

The Starry Sky Jade is usable.
