T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 71, Question 70: If you want points, then we'll settle the points for you.

Jiang Heyi's judgment soon came true.

The earth churned and cracked, and a large number of monsters with an affinity for earth element roamed everywhere.

Like the Nightmare Shadows in the first round, these monsters will gradually become stronger over time.

The difference is that Nightmare's Shadow can master one playstyle and be effective throughout the entire guild war.

Under the calamity of the earth element, there are many different kinds of monsters, and players may encounter unfamiliar monsters at any time, which is a great test of the player's ability to adapt.

Jiang Heyi only glanced at the points leaderboard and could imagine their miserable state just by seeing the names of those guilds fluctuating up and down.

This trouble had nothing to do with the boundary between reality and illusion; the sense of security of the [Demon Suppressor Trampler] lasted until the very last second before disappearing.

An antlion lurking beneath the ground launched a deadly sneak attack on the boundary between reality and illusion.

The earth element's affinity concealed its magical movement trajectory; the moment the tremors from the earth reached the feet of the people and were felt, it was only a breath's time before it broke through the soil.

The earth turned into quicksand, and the swift and deadly predator was about to succeed when the Demon Slayer ended its illusions with its enormous "antlers".

As you trample the earth, the quicksand dissipates, and the earth returns to its original state.

The giant horn rammed into the ground, shoveling the fleeing antlion into the air.

The trampling creature flapped its elytra and swiftly soared into the sky, where it used its powerful horns to snap the nearly 6-meter-long antlion in half.

After landing, it tramples over the antlion's flesh with its full weight, like an insect-shaped road roller, flattening it into a thin pancake.

Jiang Heyi and the others, who were about to approach, were startled by the dying, frantic convulsions of the ant lion, which was not yet completely dead.

"Most of the demonic insects are dead but not stiff, be careful."

Everyone stood there stunned, looking at each other blankly, and then almost in unison asked the same question.

"You can talk!"

"meeting."

Throughout the journey, the trampling creature remained silent. Although it would respond to people, it would only do so by waving its short forelimbs, as if trying to be cute...

The trampling creature ruthlessly crushed the antlion's head, extinguishing its plan to feign death and launch a counterattack.

You can own it for 12 hours for only 3620 points. What a bargain!

Thanks to the spawn point being next to the swamp, and thanks to the giant mud worm sacrificing itself to create the boundary between reality and illusion, they were able to enjoy the thrill of the whole team being carried away.

Virtual/real boundary: +7780 points.

Total points: 124500
Orange Tea quickly praised, "Thank you so much for everything, you're really amazing."

"I'm honored that you like it."

This burly, powerful insect spoke with surprising politeness and gentlemanly manners.

"If you are satisfied, please use the specified service next time and call me."

"Definitely, definitely." The blanket replied excitedly, then suddenly realized that the trampler was about to leave.

"It was fun playing games with you guys."

The Trampler waved its short arms and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in the direction of the Insect Master.

"It has a kind of silly, endearing charm," commented the original flavor fries. "I would definitely choose it again if I had the chance."

"Hey, aren't you guys going to try out the other insects from Mushishi?" The jailer was someone who craved new experiences. "Maybe one of them really has twin tails."

Wow, this person is really malicious.

You've been caught in the rain, so you feel obligated to take everyone else's umbrellas off, right?

The start was too perfect, and the difficulty of the game at the boundary between reality and illusion dropped sharply.

After the guild war ended yesterday, some players summarized the key points of each time point in the guild war.

The first 12 hours of a guild war are a golden period for development when the monster difficulty is relatively approachable, which is basically equivalent to the looting phase in a battle royale game.

The development you make in the first 12 hours will determine the tactical decisions you should make in the second 12 hours.

As the match approaches its halfway point, players should ideally have completed their power conversion and have enough points remaining to handle any unexpected situations.

How much to reserve depends on the situation and is a matter of the commander's personal habits and judgment.

They met the bird-beaked doctor again and successfully completed the blessing.

【Swift as the Wind】 and 【Light as a Feather】, one increases movement speed, and the other increases the attack speed of the weapon being wielded.

It remains true to the guild's style: speed is paramount.

As long as I'm fast enough, not only can my teammates' question marks not catch up with me, but the enemy can't hit me either.

After the basic services were completed, the bird-beaked doctor removed his hat and bowed to the crowd. He changed from his previous indifference and began to show off the special services he offered with a smile.

There are 4 items in total.

Custom-made potions (mid-tier): Points are determined based on demand.

Custom-made potions (high rank): Points are determined based on the demand and must meet a random condition.

Custom-made potions (over-rank): Points are determined by the demand and require the completion of one commission.

[Plague: ?]: 159710 points
Spread a deadly plague across the entire map for 6 hours.

The person who initiates this will gain the [Plague Resistance] status for 3 hours. (The plague may alter the appearance of all creatures on the map.)
"Hehehe, you guys have a good chance, why don't you give it your all?" The bird-beaked doctor, who seemed to be a woman beneath her skin this time, let out a chilling, sinister laugh, urging, "My masterpiece won't disappoint you."

Her excitement was so palpable that if you brought her a nuclear launch button, she would eagerly hope that players would press it a few more times so they could all watch the spectacular fireworks together.

If it weren't for the fact that the boundary between reality and virtuality requires a huge score boost this time, this request... really wouldn't be able to refuse.

So far, no one should have purchased the highest-tier Cataclysmic service. If we can grab the first spot at the boundary between virtual and real worlds, it would be a great achievement in gaming history.
In the end, Jiang Heyi chose to have a custom-made mid-level magic potion, and his requirement was that it could suppress the power of earth elemental affinity with magic creatures.

"No other requests?"

"It needs to be cheap, plentiful, and filling, but preferably not compromised on effectiveness," Jiang Heyi said.
"Hmm... I suggest you take a look at the option to customize high-level potions."

"I'm poor."

"..."

Jiang Heyi could imagine how speechless the bird-beaked doctor must have felt.

A guild that is nearly 10 points ahead of the second-place guild, a guild that can almost buy plague, is complaining about being poor and asking you to provide a bunch of additional services. This is somewhat like Lu Zhishen teasing Zhen Guanxi.

[Elemental Blocker]: 300 points
It can relatively effectively destroy the elemental affinity of monsters, thus weakening their combat power.

Jiang Heyi bought 21 bottles in one go, and prepared 3 bottles for everyone in case of emergency.

Barring any major surprises, this will be their last supply for the match.

Before leaving, the jailer suddenly had a strange idea. He approached the bird-beaked doctor and asked slyly, "What are the effects of the Crystal Witch's planetarium?"

The bird-beak doctor chuckled: "This isn't on my list of services. If you want to know, you might as well buy a ticket and try it out."

When you have a significant timeline advantage in development, all you need to do is simply A out.

Using a setup that only appears in the final stages of guild battles to beat up the monsters on the first day, along with the simple and effective potions from the Bird-Beak Doctor, even without the Demon Slayer, the points at the boundary between reality and illusion continued to rise slowly.

Guilds in the same arena watched as the boundary between virtual and real points first broke through 10 points again, then 20, and then 30 before falling back due to spending, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

After the first round of elimination (30 to 4), most of the guilds that made it to the second round are quite capable.

Realizing they were grouped with the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, many showed enthusiasm for the challenge.

The terrifying score difference, combined with the huge fluctuations that were clearly caused by consumption...

By the end of the game, the team with the score of 391591 points held the top spot.

"I have no interest in your fighting. There are still 3 spots left to advance. Go fight for the rest. In short, don't mess with me."

After issuing the Gentleman's Declaration, throughout the entire competition, the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion did not actively eliminate any guilds, and all the guilds it encountered were spectacularly ignored.

While the other guilds fought fiercely in the final stage of the game, they continued their battle against the mud giants that stirred up a sky full of yellow sand not far away.

The two sides fought fiercely, but no one dared to intervene.

It wasn't that the other guilds were too cowardly to seize the opportunity to mediate, but rather... the yellow sand stirred up by the mud giants deliberately provoked at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds could easily tear apart their armor, and the sand particles flung out by the high-speed rotating sandstorm were like bullets.

This mud giant is one of the dominant monsters that spawned at the foot of the mountain after the resource depletion and the depletion of the area. It had been wandering around without anyone luring it away.

To score points, they waited until the very last moment before descending the mountain for a fierce battle at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds.

The later the game progresses, the stronger the overlord monster becomes.

In this battle where the yellow sand obscured the sun, the members of other guilds were made to look like the lackeys in a fantasy novel.

Even the slightest impact from the aftershocks of the ancient great battles could cause casualties among them.

Only at the boundary between the real and the virtual can one step into the field magic created by the Mud Giant using the [Elemental Blocker] consumed by the Bird-Beak Doctor, without being instantly killed by its exaggeratedly large-scale sandstorm.

In fact, Jiang Heyi didn't have high hopes for killing it. They had accumulated too many points, and their combat strength was already lagging behind the current monsters.

What he did was to prepare in advance for the combat power of monsters in the late game.

I have a feeling that once we enter the main tournament or the World Championship, the monsters that appear in the early and mid-game will not be as weak as they are now.

The qualifying challenge has gone through round after round, and with the game dynamically adjusting its settings, the monster mods designed to cater to the best players should also be the most sincere.

"The match time has ended."

"Score calculation terminated."

Amidst the sandstorm, the battered and bruised Boundary Between Reality and Illusion fought the Mud Giant to the very last moment.

This is a stress test where no mistakes can be made, and only truly skilled players dare to attempt it.

Although their attacks were like scraping water, blocked by the extremely high concentration of earth elemental power, but...

All seven people were present at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds.

They believe this is the first time since the start of the guild war that someone has fought the Overlord monster to the last second outside the safe zone.

Beyond personal training, there's another deeper meaning to doing this: it will ignite the community after the competition.

"【Virtual Boundary】: 391591 points."

"First in the standings, advances."

Although no infighting between the Virtual and Real Boundaries guilds was witnessed, deafening cheers still erupted in the world chat bubble at the moment the match ended.

For no other reason than that players who had been frustrated all day finally received the ammunition delivered from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

If you want to settle your score, the score will be settled at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds!
　Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
