T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 78, Section 77: The Must-Try Combat Strength Comparison

During the 6-day break, the official account of the virtual-real boundary only made any new moves on the last day.

Viewers eager to know what big stunt they've pulled off this time had a hunch about it as soon as they saw the first video title.

Orange Tea's incredible luck shattered the audience's mental preparations. They guessed it was a leopard leap video, but they never expected it to be this outrageous.

In an instant, the video's bullet comments and comment section became a cyber temple.

"Inhale, inhale, inhale! I'm frantically absorbing the Tea God's good fortune!"

"My wife got lost and entered the gacha pool. She hasn't come back yet. Thanks to the Tea God, I was able to bring her home."

"May the Tea God bless me, may the Tea God bless me, and may my luck turn around!"

Reminded by others to read the video comments, Orange Tea, who had no classes in the morning, was initially stunned while watching in the school library. Then she couldn't help but grin, which drew a puzzled look from her roommate sitting next to her, making her blush with embarrassment.

Another video showcasing the avatar effects also went viral.

The game community discussing Proof of the Stars is almost entirely sharing this.

No need for "should," no one in any of the regional servers had previously completed the awakening.

Jiang Heyi is undoubtedly the number one.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible! Even the top players in our guild only have 40 fragments, and we've already collected 100 fragments at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds."

"40? Or just 'only'? Do you even know what 40 means? The face of this European emperor is truly ugly!"

"Wow, we're considered lucky, so what's the boundary between reality and illusion? Unlocking the avatar, awakening the avatar with 100 fragments, and completing the ritual—all in one go."

"Stop talking. Your guild has a tea master, so you can too."

"Did you watch the video? The Tea God was picked up and brought back to the guild along the way."

"The beautiful girl I picked up on the street has incredible luck."

"I order you to write it down immediately."

Upon learning that Orange Tea had been tricked by a loot box setup when he first entered the game, and had been bullied and killed in the wild, the others were no longer angry about the Tea God's plight.

All they wanted to know was which clever little team had missed out on the Tea God because they were greedy for small gains.

I really want to know how they're feeling right now!

Some people focused on the luck aspect, while others kept pausing to analyze the incarnation.

The Glutton's incredible 5-passive ability shocked all players, as it combines individual enhancement, enemy weakening, and team buffs even in its initial awakening stage.

What about the second awakening?

No wonder the path to obtaining this avatar is so arduous; its expressiveness and strength justify the difficulty of collecting it.

Even if you can only use it once every four days, it's still great value.

After the avatar awakened, a towering tree lit up on Jiang Heyi's avatar interface, with the Gluttonous Avatar prominently displayed on the tree diagram.

If a dim leaf corresponds to one incarnation, then there are hundreds of incarnations that have never been lit.

Whether players choose to continuously strengthen their avatars or awaken more avatars to explore more strategies and tactics, a brand-new gameplay mode has been fully revealed to players.

A month after the game's launch, players remain as naive and clueless as when they first entered the game, despite the ever-expanding content being discovered.

The boundary between reality and virtuality continues to maintain its record of generating extremely high levels of discussion with each video release.

Meanwhile, Dream Master, who was celebrating his last-minute qualification for the main competition, had a very quiet and unpopular video and social media presence.

Occasionally, someone passing by the homepage would jokingly leave a comment: "When are you guys going to die?"

Simple bad breath, ultimate enjoyment.

Only Dream Masters themselves still harbored the wonderful fantasy of standing out in the main competition. No game media ever listed them as a favorite to win the championship or a potential dark horse.

The two preliminary rounds lasted a total of 10 days, during which tens of thousands of guilds were sifted out, and the 60 guilds that made it to the main competition were finally selected.

Of the 60 guilds, only 4 were able to represent the Chinese server in the first World Championship of the Stars of Proof.

The main competition consists of only two rounds, with 60 teams advancing to the next round, and the final score determines the ranking order.

In two days, everything will be settled.

During the main tournament, all players will receive extra game time, which will be a full round of gameplay.

Players no longer start with 0 points when they enter the game; each guild will have 50 initial points.

[Star Fortune] The trial will no longer appear only once.

The initial monsters generated within the arena are stronger.

These are the changes to the main competition stage that are known from the official announcement.

During the 6-day rest period, the four original bodies did not go online at all on the first day. It is said that they were busy outside and could not wear the equipment to rest.

For the next five days, he seemed to be working overtime like crazy, going online later and later, and talking less in the group chat.

Perhaps because he had already worked all the overtime he needed to, after the announcement, Siyuanti said in the group that he would be resting tonight and would be on time.

Zhong Zemo asked, "Are you alright?"

"No, I'm perfectly healthy," Quadruple sent an emoji. "I definitely won't hold you back tonight."

He also shared his fried chicken and burger combo meal, paired with a glass of soda.

"Wait, where are you right now?"

"Hotel, what's wrong?"

The Primal continued, "The main tournament, ah, will determine whether we have the chance to compete against other top players in the world in just two days. I don't want to have my sleep interrupted by some accident and have regrets for the rest of my life."

"To be honest... I've never had the chance to be among the top, and I want to keep this dream alive for a while longer."

It was noon, and the four original entities had already brought the equipment and handheld consoles to the hotel, and had booked rooms for two days.

Jiang Heyi became increasingly convinced that he had earned this rest by working overtime for six days straight.

The words of the Primal Body served as a reminder to the others in the guild.

The rules for the Stars of Proof guild war mention how to handle offline player devices – AI will temporarily take over.

AI can understand player commands and cooperate, but expecting it to make more rational and effective moves is impossible. Therefore, once someone disconnects, the disadvantage of being outnumbered cannot be overcome.

"Orange Tea, why don't you go out and book a hotel too?" the jailer suggested.

The person in bed clicked their tongue and said, "What do you mean? I'll pay for the room. Give me your phone."

"Am I such a beast?" Jailer Bro declared boldly, "In order to avoid the guild being at a disadvantage due to external interference during the main competition, I order any group members who feel the environment is not right to quickly go to a hotel and book a room. I will pay for the room."

"111111, is it really happening? Is it really happening?!" The blanket was frantically typing "1". "I'm in the dorm, my roommates might be a distraction, do you think I can help?"

"Then go ahead and order it. Scan the code for me after you've ordered."

Today, having no classes, I quickly changed my clothes and went out from under the covers, demonstrating exceptional efficiency.

Orange Tea remained silent, but Jiang Heyi called her name.

"Go ahead and order it, and make sure it's a proper order. Don't be polite with the jailer; he's got too much money to burn, so just let him show off."

"Who said I have too much money to burn? The money in my house isn't my money. I'm using my own pocket money to provide you with a comfortable competition environment. Don't you know how to be grateful?"

The jailer really doesn't realize that his actions and words contradict each other...

Originally, I felt a little embarrassed to spend other people's money, but after Jiang Heyi said that, Orange Tea suddenly understood.

The booking for the bed and orange tea was quickly sent to the group chat, and the jailer readily paid for it.

"The Four Primal Bodies, what about yours?"

"Ah, I have a job, and I've already moved in."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner."

"what?"

"Eat less fried chicken, otherwise you might get an upset stomach at night and wake up, which would be a hassle. You should all eat something light... Let me see if there's any Cantonese restaurant nearby, let's eat there."

What kind of Cantonese cuisine promotion ambassador is he?

"Potato, what about your orders?"

Jiang Heyi was stunned: "We're going out anyway, is this really necessary?"

"Just tell me, is there any risk that a squid-shaped wife might suddenly show up at the door?"

He was eloquent; one sentence from him terrified Zhong Zemo, turning his face pale.

Jiang Heyi thought for a moment and sent a message: "Besides a sense of honor, is there another reason for your enthusiasm? Tell me about it?"

The plain fries became a parrot, copying and pasting the entire passage.

Others immediately followed suit, their neat and orderly words filling the screen.

The prison guard kept everyone in suspense: "I'll tell you after the competition, regardless of winning or losing."

Why not take advantage of these suckers? Even the original flavor fries who initially claimed to be comfortable at home and didn't need to go out ended up going out.

Jiang Heyi lives in an old-style residential area with many elderly people. They usually like to gather in the pavilion in the community to play chess and chat. Occasionally, you can also see them doing square dancing in groups and watching the same short video live stream together.

"Hey, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Zhong, what brings you out in the middle of the day?"

When "Xiao Zhong" came home from get off work one day, he accidentally opened up about why he was temporarily staying there, which earned him widespread sympathy from the elderly folks.

Du Jingwen disliked the unambitious "Xiao Zhong," who was actually a hot commodity in the eyes of the older generation. Several women expressed their desire to introduce him to new partners, wishing that Xiao Zhong's divorce process would be completed immediately.

When Jiang Heyi leaned closer to say hello, he was surprised to hear the AI ​​voice of a marketing account introducing the Guild War of the Stars?

Upon closer inspection, wow, it's actually a compilation of exciting guild war plays.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that they initially followed Qunxing mostly because of conspiracy theories published by marketing accounts.

However, after seeing so many videos, the recommendation naturally led to providing them with game-related videos.

At the start of the guild war, many of them found this competition format quite interesting, especially since the videos were substantial and greatly satisfied their entertainment needs.

"It's much more realistic and exciting than the fight scenes in TV dramas these days."

Over time, it has spread to the middle-aged and elderly population.

"The main competition starts tonight. Which guild are you supporting?" Jiang Heyi asked with a hint of anticipation.

"That would be the [Chosen One], of course."

"How fierce! He fights anyone he sees, it's either you die or I die, he's very imposing."

"Yes, yes, it's that guild with the weird name. Their matches are really exciting, they fight from start to finish. Ah, it's enjoyable."

Is this considered a form of sadomasochistic proselytizing?
"Sigh, people without brains won't go far. I think that guild called [Funny Tree] is much better. They play with a lot of strategy."

"You're all wrong. It should be this guild called 'I'm Not Human Anymore' that's powerful."

The group started arguing back and forth.

As expected, the topic of comparing combat strength is a vibrant and engaging experience across all age groups, making it a classic element that should not be missed.

Zhong Zemo vaguely remembered that more than ten years ago, a debate in the Eastern fandom about whether Flower Mom or Purple Mom was more powerful could escalate to the point of obliteration, even spawning countless fan-made works... Those who reminisce about these things are truly getting old.

After listening for a while, I still didn't hear the name of the boundary between reality and illusion.

Jiang Heyi tentatively asked again, "What do you think about the boundary between the virtual and the real?"

"Hmm, isn't that a luck-based guild?"

"I've heard it mentioned in many videos."

"But there were also some amazing plays, I saw them in the highlights."

Ah, this.

However, this is as expected. People outside the circle naturally watch more highlight reels, and the more guilds with more highlight plays, the more well-known they become.

The boundary between reality and illusion, which is like a dump truck randomly creating and crushing everything in its path, naturally generates a lot of off-stage discussion, but it's less entertaining and doesn't produce many highlight reels.

They just didn't expect that the "Luck Guild" joke that the Dream Master had given them would spread all the way here.
