T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 67, Section 66: The Outsider's Composure

Because Jiang Heyi possessed the blessing of [Glory of the Warriors], the guild's final blow was given to him, which resulted in a terrifying record of 33267 points at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The second-ranked guild, [Calcium Oxide], only has 8396 points.

With a gap of nearly four times, even if the top-ranked guilds didn't take a single point from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds at this point, they would still have to swallow all the points of the remaining guilds in order to surpass the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

This impressive achievement put immense pressure on the lower-ranking guilds, leaving them breathless.

Although the match still has 3 hours to go, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds has no intention of converting combat power.

At the center of the resource-depleted shrinking zone is a village, inhabited not only by the guide but also by many other villagers.

Zhong Zemo successfully borrowed an iron pot, seasonings, and fresh ingredients from a villager's house using 50 points and cooked on the spot.

Jiang Heyi and the others stayed by his side, along with the only two guides after the circle shrank.

The presence of the guides, and their uninhibited lifestyle of cooking, quickly attracted the attention of the Reorganized Guild.

But upon seeing the six people at the boundary between reality and illusion, their heart rates instantly spiked.

The six people on the boundary between the virtual and real worlds were enjoying their meal around a pot. When they saw the newcomer, they merely glanced at him casually, then patted the weapon stuck in the ground before continuing to eat as if no one else was there.

That disdainful attitude is enough to infuriate any person with backbone.

But they dared not show the slightest temper...

Especially when they realized that a dark elf had sneaked up behind them, a roasted chicken leg in his mouth, and was secretly eyeing them, cold sweat broke out all over them.

They couldn't even sense the presence of this dark elf.

This means that the skills and equipment blessings of both sides are crushed by several times.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

No matter how great their reputation is off the field, they won't be intimidated by poor performance in guild wars.

But in the very first match, they scored 33267 points, a truly astonishing score that puts immense psychological pressure on anyone facing them.

To get this score, simply defeating Nightmare Shadow and the monsters that spawn in the arena is not enough.

Only by simultaneously focusing on both PvE and PvP can this be achieved.

"Thank you very much, I'm sorry to disturb your meal."

Observing their expressions, the guild members realized that these big shots didn't take them seriously and had no intention of taking their share. They gratefully retreated, their hands sweating as they gripped their weapons tightly.

Only when they were far out of the attack range of the virtual and real boundaries did they wipe the sweat from their foreheads with a sigh of relief.

"What coward? You don't even dare to fight this one!"

Among the spectators, someone started cursing loudly. Without needing to identify them carefully, everyone knew who had broken down again.

If the members of this guild could hear the Dream Master's words, they would definitely sneer.

Hilarious! There are only 6 spots for advancement. Who would be crazy enough to choose to try against a guild that's a top-tier powerhouse?

More than one guild has arrived here, including both organized groups and lone wolves, but upon seeing the boundary between reality and illusion, they all chose to detour to another guide.

The numerous guilds that were outmatched in terms of presence all made the same wise choice.

There are 17 guilds, and 13 more guilds need to be eliminated before the competition ends early.

Under these rules, lone wolves began to tacitly band together, deciding to make one last gamble and fight their way out of the leading guild for a possible glimmer of hope.

The fully-staffed guilds are not satisfied with the status quo either. The top 10 guilds are very close to each other, and the points for lone wolves are not enough to even begin to count.

Only if one of the leading guilds falls can they leap into the safe zone for advancement.

However, if we rashly start a war, we may end up in a chaotic battle where everyone is targeting us.

At the same time, a volatile and unpredictable atmosphere was playing out on every field, which was an inevitable game as the competition entered its final stages.

Looking across the entire arena, the boundary between virtual and real is the most unique type of guild.

Their exceptionally high scores and formidable strength give them the power to crush any guild.

Nobody wants to mess with them, and they're too lazy to mess with anyone.

They stepped out of the endgame and became detached observers, waiting for the game to end.

"It seems like a fight has broken out."

He scrambled up to a towering tree, gazing at the flickering lights in the distance, and cheered excitedly.

Those who have come ashore and are watching the people splashing around in the water feel an indescribable sense of relief.

"Tsk tsk, this milky white mutton and radish soup, aren't you going to have some, in bed?"

Lured by the delicious food, and unable to see the battle clearly from a distance, he slid out of bed in a flash, picked up his bowl, and wolfed down his food.

Watching the excitement is not as good as eating. Of course, if possible, I'd like to watch the excitement while eating.

The scene was incredibly exciting, with blood flowing like a river!

The audience switched projections, and not far from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, the remaining guilds had already started a massive melee around the guide.

The guide, standing amidst the storm, smiled and snapped his fingers, casting a powerful shield upon himself. He then watched the chaos unfold like a spectator on the sidelines. Meanwhile, at the boundary between reality and illusion… they ate and drank, as if they were camping.

There were even two coconuts left over from the orange tea. This group of people were drinking mutton soup, digging out coconut meat, and rinsing their mouths with coconut juice. It was too pleasant.

Guild wars, let's get serious!

The fierce melee continued until the end of the match time, without ever coming to a conclusion.

When the notification sounded, announcing that [Virtual Boundary] had won first place with 33217 points, the players watching the match in the same world chat burst into enthusiastic applause.

So handsome.

Throughout the guild war, they were more familiar with the rules than other guilds. Apart from a slight flaw in dealing with Nightmare Shadow, it was a minor imperfection in their overall performance.

Moreover, their nitpicking is full of arrogance and composure from a god-like perspective. Considering that they need to quickly analyze and make on-the-spot reactions during the game, it has to be said that it is highly entertaining.

Previously, the video clips released by the virtual-real boundary mostly omitted the core strategy part, so players had a hard time knowing why they were able to surpass other players and become the so-called T0 guild.

This guild war has answered many of their questions.

"Where is the Lord of Dreams? Lord of Dreams, come out and speak!"

"Playing dead when things are going badly, huh? That's spot on, it's exactly what a guild like to bully the weak and fear the strong is all about."

"Life must be really tough right now, otherwise I can't imagine anyone dreaming about playing a game and then engaging in bullying."

"Tsk tsk, I'm going to check the Dream Master's results as soon as I wake up. I want to see if people who scrutinize others with a magnifying glass can withstand scrutiny."

The notification sounds became increasingly jarring, and many players who had been preparing for guild wars to fall asleep at set times began to enter a light sleep mode.

Just before exiting the game, Jiang Heyi and his group were teleported back to their guild.

Just then, Mint, carrying a bunch of materials, ran barefoot across the guild's smooth, clean marble floor.

She seemed too focused; she ran past for several seconds before suddenly turning back, her big, round eyes scanning back and forth.

The look in his eyes seemed to be asking... "You're back?"

"How... how were the results?"

Those on the boundary between reality and illusion shared a tacit understanding, all displaying sullen and distressed expressions. Jiang Heyi even let out a sigh full of heartache and helplessness.

The excitement and joy on Mint's face receded like the tide, dimming for a second or two before her pursed lips immediately turned upwards.

She proudly and smugly patted everyone's arms—probably trying to pat their shoulders, but couldn't reach them.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's not a big deal. It's just a loss in the game. The fact that you didn't get hurt at all is a great thing." Mint laughed heartily. "I've lost games before, too."

"I've also failed in the Star Speaker Trials and the Potion Mixing Competition at the Star Speaker Academy, only managing to get second place each time."

"You see, even a genius like me isn't omnipotent. It's common in life to not get good grades."

"Well, don't worry about those rewards we mentioned before. There will be plenty of opportunities to get them in the future. After all, I'm going to stay here, eat and drink your food, until I become a famous magician across the continent."

Seeing the strange smiles on everyone's faces, and the barely suppressed joy escaping from their lips, Mint realized what was going on.

Her face flushed, she pointed at the crowd, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Heyi grabbed the mint-colored hat and put it on his head: "Hey, first place in the first stage of the qualifying round, are you surprised or not!"

"Hey, Mint Mom!" Jailer Bro and Blanket laughed and cheered.

As office workers, Zhong Zemo and Siyuanti maintained their composure, but they still couldn't resist pinching Bohe's cheek when everyone teased them.

Mint bared her teeth and brandished her claws: "You're acting me! You're acting me!"

"Just tell me if it's a surprise or not," Jiang Heyi said matter-of-factly, leaving Bohe completely bewildered.

"Oh, right, here you go." Orange Tea handed over the [Mint's Good Luck Pendant]. "The competition venue uses the same equipment, so I couldn't bring this."

Mint smiled and pushed the orange tea back into her arms: "As long as it belongs to you, it will bring you good luck."

She proudly raised her head: "I firmly believe so."

Upon hearing this, the orange tea was carefully stored away.

Jiang Heyi took advantage of the last bit of time to browse through the guild, and when his gaze fell on his backpack, he rubbed his eyes uncertainly.

The Shrieker Great Snow Mountain Agreement, signed with Duke Narum in Anadu, has now been extended to 30 days.
Several days have passed since then, how could this be...?

He finally saw the small print below the item description.

"Due to the player's participation in the [War of the Stars], the time-limited items for the mission have been restored and frozen."

This setting is so user-friendly.

Guild wars can last a whole day, which translates to two days in the game. If you fight the entire war, all the time-limited missions for the top guilds will be wasted.

These are the details that a good game designer should pay attention to, instead of making some brain-dead decisions that make players unhappy and uncomfortable.

"Hmm, time to wake up~~~" The jailer couldn't wait any longer, "I can't wait to see how the players rate us."

The person in bed excitedly said, "Let's browse the community like crazy! Set up the keywords, and spend the whole day on it!"
