T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 65, Section 64: The Coordinates of the Crystal Witch

Deep-sea Zoo

With 1509 points, they ranked 8th, making them a member of the leading guild.

They are only 300 points away from sixth place. If they keep this up, they can strive for either direct advancement or a spot in the revival round.

The attack on the boundary between reality and illusion was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After painstakingly eliminating a Nightmare Shadow, they happened to discover a Star Guide nearby.

Her attire was significantly different from that of the two guides she had previously encountered.

In the darkness, the wide robe seemed to reflect the starry sky, with soft and enchanting starlight flowing across it.

The hood obscured her face, and only her voice revealed her to be that of a very young girl.

She set up a table with four props on it.

Crystal balls, Rubik's Cubes, dice, and planetariums.

In addition to providing regular guide services, she, who calls herself the "Crystal Witch," will also offer special services based on the items the player chooses.

The Deep Sea Zoo chose the dice and spent 200 points to receive an "unknown gift".

Before making the purchase, the Crystal Witch warned them that unknown gifts can be good or bad, and once purchased, they would bear the consequences themselves.

They also hesitated about whether they should invest their hard-earned points in unreliable lottery activities.

However, a certain magic compelled them to take a gamble.

"Show the guild closest to [Deep Sea Zoo] on the map. Duration: 3 hours."

This result left them speechless. After opening the map, they indeed saw the glowing dots representing the figures at the boundary between reality and virtuality.

Aside from the name of the bed appearing and disappearing intermittently, everyone else's location was ruthlessly revealed by the mysterious blessing obtained through the lottery, making it virtually one-way transparent.

The Deep Sea Zoo wanted to continue trying with points, but the Crystal Witch refused.

"My destiny will only smile at everyone once."

The word "fate" served as a reminder to everyone at the Deep Sea Zoo. They carefully observed the movement patterns at the boundary between reality and illusion, discovering that when the opposing forces clashed, a "Nightmare Shadow" totem and text would flash briefly on the map...

A bold idea suddenly came to mind.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Despite possessing a huge sum of money, he has not spent it, and his combat power has not improved since the start of the guild war.

If they can wait in ambush and launch a sudden attack...

Opportunities are earned; if you don't seize them when they come your way, you'll only suffer the consequences.

After purchasing a mobile soundproofing array and magic potions to enhance their combat power, the Deep Sea Zoo launched this surprise attack after spending most of their points.

With a god-like perspective, they can adjust their ambush locations at any time based on the movement of the boundary between reality and illusion.

Even in close combat, the fleeting totems allow them to judge the boundary between reality and illusion from a distance.

It's normal that they weren't discovered in bed, because the deep-sea zoo, hidden in the shadows, had already prepared for a sneak attack before they arrived.

Everything was prepared so perfectly that if the boundary between the virtual and real worlds suffered heavy losses in the first round of attacks, wiping out this exhausted squad would be a piece of cake.

The fame they've built up over time at the boundary between reality and fiction will inevitably benefit them—at the moment they made their decision, what they desired was no longer just qualifying for this round of competition.

However, the story did not unfold as conceived as the deep-sea zoo.

While remaining motionless, he was difficult to detect, but the moment he launched the attack, Jiang Heyi's keen sense of smell and his masterful use of the Four Primal Bodies' passive ability turned the tide of the team's critical situation, which was one of certain death or serious injury.

At the boundary between reality and illusion, someone stepped forward.

“Very strong…”

The Deep Sea Zoo Guild has no shortage of experienced gamers, and they could sense the strength of the other party just from Jiang Heyi and the other person's on-the-spot reactions.

Someone suggested in a low voice, "Let's fight. If we wait for them to recover, our advantage will be greatly diminished."

The group seemed hesitant. It's easy to win a team fight by launching a sneak attack and then pressing forward, but what are their chances of winning in a head-on confrontation like this?
In the moment of hesitation, the boundary between reality and illusion shifted.

The Shadow Hunter in the team was the first to notice the Dark Elf rushing forward through the shadow rift. At his signal, the four elemental mages in the team fired spells in unison, trying to stop the reckless Dark Elf.

But then the blankets shouted "Whoosh, take off!" and sped past, leaving all the danger behind.

She was truly happy.

"Damn it! Don't cast spells randomly!"

The president of the deep-sea zoo swore. As the commander, he only paused for a second before realizing that it was a hook to lure them into revealing their location and configuration information!

Furthermore, elemental mages have a casting animation and a cooldown period before casting spells...

"You five are really something, I'm fucking..."

He couldn't complain anymore. The moment the Shadow Hunter's talent skill [Shadow Hunter] tore apart the Shadow Rift of the Shadow Hunter, Original Fries, who already knew about this skill, shouted out the class name.

Instantly, five professions were exposed.

Four elemental mages—what a bloated mage squad! Are they planning to use the amplification of their passive skills to launch a ranged bombardment, or are they using elemental shields to protect each other?
What the remaining two classes are is no longer important. Once this extreme lineup reveals its cards, all that awaits it is a frenzied charge.

The president of the Deep Sea Zoo drew his sword and faced Jiang Heyi, while the other met the original flavor fries whose red eyes were brimming with chilling killing intent.

As one of only two melee fighters in the team, he has to hold on!

The Deep Sea Zoo's two melee physical attackers are both Berserkers. The reason for choosing the same class is to allow for mutual exchange during guild battles. Additionally, the mechanic of getting stronger as the battle progresses is very appealing.

The longsword, emanating crimson particles, clashed repeatedly with Jiang Heyi's short sword. He swung it with all his might, forcing Jiang Heyi to retreat further and further.

Great! My opponent is indeed exhausted. I have the upper hand in both strength and skill!
Just wait for the elemental mage's next spell...

A flash of blood-red sword light, and a nimble thrust pierced right into Jiang Heyi's heart.

The sword tip pierced through the afterimage, and the remaining force propelled him forward, causing him to stumble.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw three nimble and adorable wind spirits appear on the shoulders and head of Jiang Heyi's afterimage.

Their pursed-lip smiles seemed to mock his arrogance and ignorance.

The dagger pierced his waist from his right rear. With a forceful twist, he could no longer exert any strength, and the longsword fell from his hand.

【Summoning Spell】: Orange Tea summons an individual even more superior than the wind spirit generated when the believer was present.

With the overall increase in power, Jiang Heyi moved with the agility of a swallow, dodging the seemingly unavoidable sword strikes of the Deep Sea Zoo President, strolling leisurely.

"I'm waiting for my teammates to get buffs, what are you waiting for?"

The president of the Deep Sea Zoo, whose waist had been ripped open, hadn't thought much of it at first, but after hearing Jiang Heyi's words and thinking about his eccentric teammates, he couldn't help but vomit blood.

What are you waiting for?
Of course, it's just waiting to die.

On the other side, the berserker who wanted to compete with the original fries to see who was more "berserker" was injured one after another. Even with the enhancement of [Bloodlust Frenzy], he still had his arm severed by the original fries and lost his ability to fight.

A blatant act of crushing.

With defeat imminent, the four elemental mages finally managed to regroup and prepare to cast spells.

One of them took out the bottle of potion he had just tossed and caught, gritting his teeth, determined to make the approaching boundary between reality and illusion pay the price.

"What good stuff is this? Let me play with it."

He suddenly felt his palm go empty; the heavy potion bottle had vanished.

Looking up again, not far away, a dark elf curiously examined the bottle and revealed a sly smile.

"I don't know what function it is, but I'll let you guys try it out."

As she spoke, she casually tossed it...

A parabola flew past the four elemental mages, their expressions ultimately settling into gasps of astonishment.

A wisp of flame ignited at the broken spot of the potion, and then a pool of flame suddenly burst forth, spreading outwards like a river. In the blink of an eye, the mages within it were transformed into dancing fire figures.

The blanket shrank back in fright: "That was quite powerful..."

Chased by a shadow hunter walking his dog, the bed quickly made its escape.

"Hey, it's pointless for your arrows to miss me~~~"

"So what if you break through my shadow? Does breaking through the fog guarantee a team victory?"

"You're so anxious, but there's no use being anxious. Your team lost, and I can happily rack up points with them, while you get nothing."

"Type 1 to recruit an apprentice! Type 1 to recruit an apprentice!"

I'm really furious. The Shadow Hunter's [Shadow Hunter] skill is a skill that combines detection and dispel effects, so it's a slight counter to [Shadow Stalker].

However, she couldn't reach him even though she was trying to get him to stay in bed. So she would occasionally turn around and kick up sand with her feet, feeding him dirt.

They have skills but choose to use these childish fighting techniques instead, which do no real harm but are extremely insulting.

A class without any taunt skills, yet the bed managed to create a taunting effect through its actions.

Jiang Heyi eventually called a halt to the intense chase scene.

At this moment, the Shadow Hunter looked around the entire area and was shocked to find that he was the only survivor of the Deep Sea Zoo.

Original flavor fries were in the back, Jiang Heyi was in the front, and the blankets and the four original bodies were standing on either side.

What awaited him was the imperial treatment that no other guild member received.

"As the last member of the guild, how about I rack up some points and survive to the end?"

"The more chances you have to win in the guild war after it ends, the better, don't you agree?"

Jiang Heyi's words left the Shadow Hunter's mind in a daze, and it took him a while to understand what he meant.

"what do you want?"

"Information," Jiang Heyi said bluntly. "You all seem to have known we'd be here all along. How did you manage that?"

After a moment of silence, the Shadow Hunter asked, "Is this not against the rules?"

“It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement, and I don’t think it’s against the rules,” Jiang Heyi emphasized. “You should trust the integrity of those at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.”

After letting out a long sigh, the Shadow Hunter revealed the information about the "Crystal Witch" and projected the map coordinates for Jiang Heyi to mark.

"I am not as skilled as others, so I admit defeat."

"A narrow victory, a narrow victory." Jiang Heyi smiled. "With the will of your guildmates, let's go for it. Get a few more chances to win the lottery, and they'll call you godfather."

As the boundary between reality and illusion receded, the Shadow Hunter was filled with emotion.

As expected of a top-tier guild...
