T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

When he realized this and pressed for answers, the whole world was thrown into turmoil.

If you think back carefully, those inappropriate words were probably intentional, meant to make the players notice.

This is precisely the kind of domino that can collapse and crumble through questioning; there exists more than one in everyone's illusion.

The more I think about it, the clearer and more logical it becomes.

Jiang Heyi questioned the name, arguing that it wasn't enough to trigger the collapse of the illusionary chain and that the cries of Mint would cause her to waver.

The Tetra-Primitives question "Mother," and the dominoes they touch are key to constructing the illusion.

Therefore, his illusion was on the verge of collapse, and even his voice could penetrate the illusion and reach everyone's ears.

Faced with Bohe, who was crying her eyes out and who did indeed have some beautiful but false memories with him, Jiang Heyi even wondered if he had gone crazy.

Has the Tetraprime remained completely unshaken?

What made him so determined?

"So that's how it is. If I just remember to question Mint Mom, won't I be able to crack it smoothly?" The jailer felt that he had found the key to speed things up.

Why do you feel like you're still remembering this even after entering the game?

Zhong Zemo sighed on the other end of the screen, looking at the student who seemed to have just been reminded of the key points, only to ask him again a few minutes later what the key points were.

Jiang Heyi asked curiously, "Do you still remember what felt the most out of place in your own illusion?"

"Uh……"

"What do you mean, 'uh'?"

"Is this something I can say?" the jailer asked.

"Aren't we discussing how to break the deadlock? Why can't we talk about it now?" Jiang Heyi ordered him to speak quickly.

"All I can remember are the female adventurers who came to play with me and Mint... Their feet were so beautiful."

"..."

"..."

"You rascal!" the blanket exclaimed excitedly. "Do you only see your feet? We're tackling a dungeon!"

"Wow, how was I supposed to know it was an illusion?" the jailer said, feeling wronged. "Mint suddenly became my wife and likes to run around barefoot. My attention was completely diverted."

"After the other adventurers arrived... sigh, people who have worked out have such nice calf lines, I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"Sigh, that's just how I am, and I can't change it."

Judging from the duration of the illusion, the jailer clearly didn't just "glance at it a few times."

This guy is beyond saving. His desires are too great, and he's been locked in by the illusion. He can only wait for someone else to save him.

Fortunately, I still vaguely remember some of the original flavor fries, orange tea, and Zhong Zemo. Apart from the four original entities, the others can obviously also be deciphered.

As 8 o'clock approached, everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds received an invitation from Chen Shaoyu to join a new chat group.

It took quite a while before I was invited to join the group, as people were gradually leaving for school and work.

Apart from a few Chinese server agents involved in the coordination, the rest were guild members who had entered the world championship stage.

[Jiangdong Iron Wall]: "Oh, it's the big shots from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds who have arrived."

The Berserker of the Funny Tree Guild.

The name sounds sunny and cheerful, and the person seems quite skilled with knives.

[Thirty-year-old becomes a Grand Magician]: "President Potato, I'm your fan!"

This is the Elemental Mage from the Orange Sky Strategy Team.

It's clear that this is his original profession; he might actually have switched to another profession in real life.

[A moment of carelessness can ruin a lifetime]: "President Potato's sacrificial style is really cool. Our president is already studying the recordings. School starts soon."

This is one of the chosen berserkers of Khorne.

[Captain Jiegang]: "I've been arguing with those haters on the boundary between reality and illusion in the community since the audition stage. I support you guys, Mr. Potato. Did I do the right thing?"

The Magic Warrior of the Funny Tree Guild, one of only seven Magic Warriors in the main competition, and the only one besides Jiang Heyi among the teams that advanced to the World Championship, is famous in the main competition for his exquisite multi-frequency operation.

Jiang Heyi, the first person to join the group, received an unprecedentedly warm welcome. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to their appearance, and the conversation in the group had obviously been revolving around them not long ago.

I'm a little flattered.

Upon learning that many people here had spoken up against the bandwagon attacks and malicious comments on the boundary between virtual and real, Jiang Heyi, as the president, repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

The leader of the comical tree guild, [Huangliang Yimeng], replied: "There's no need to be so polite. Compared to us, your guild has indeed suffered a lot of inexplicable malice, which is unreasonable."

"We have received some help from the strategies you shared, and we should do something to repay you."

The leader of the Orange Sky Strategy Group, [Crimson Music Box], has popped up.

"It's all because of that T0 ranking list. The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows."

Speaking of this, Jiang Heyi asked curiously, "How's everyone's progress with conquering the temple?"

Only after asking did I learn that all three guilds were stuck on the fourth floor.

As soon as the guild war ended, they resumed their strategy, but their defenses were breached by the Slime King's relentless bombardment throughout the entire night.

[Thirty-year-old becomes a great mage] has already spent nearly a thousand to commission an artist to create a lewd illustration of the Slime King to vent his frustrations.

Upon learning that the client was drawing the Slime King, the client revealed that they were a player and said they had wanted to draw him for a long time, and even offered a discount...

Domestic and international players have reached an unprecedented consensus on this point.

You might win a hundred or a thousand times in the game, but outside of the game, it's not up to you.

"Can't you give us some hints about how the potatoes will grow?" someone asked.

“Ah, our method on the fourth level is rather special; this homework is truly impossible to copy,” Jiang Heyi replied. “If we were to go back to the day the game launched and start all over again, we might not be able to replicate it.”

If it were anyone else, the three guilds present might have had some complaints, but the character of the person from the Real World Boundary was obvious to all, so they simply stopped asking.

Huangliang Yimeng asked, "What's your current progress on the strategy?"

"The 8th floor, but I'm not entirely sure right now. I'll check again after it goes live tonight."

"8th floor?"

A series of repeated phrases and question marks quickly drowned out Jiang Heyi's speech.

"Wasn't it six floors before?"

"I'm going to take a screenshot and post it online, this is incredible!"

"Is this the number one PVE guild? I wonder how many other guilds are about to break through their defenses."

Jiang Heyi didn't know how to explain why he felt like he had entered the 8th level when he should have entered the 6th level of the large mining area.

While they were still hesitating, the news of the incredible progress in conquering the boundary between reality and illusion was confirmed by the players from the three guilds who were shocked.

"Flavored orange tea has been added to the group chat."

Before Orange Tea could say a word, a string of "Tea God, Tea Clan" was repeated, accompanied by a gesture of hands clasped together.

The chat group instantly transformed into a shrine, with incense burning brightly.

Something's not right. Following this trend, when the prison guard joined the group, could it be...?

There'll be more later... (Too tired, passing out, will post again when I wake up)

Chapter 105 Breaking Through the Illusion Again

While everyone was sending pictures to the prison guard like tribute, Jiang Heyi was browsing the "Foreign Server News" section, which was dedicated to collecting information about foreign servers.

The conversation had made him curious whether anyone had completed the fourth level yet.

If we don't rely on Mint's amazing help, what are the conventional strategies?

Due to the presence of mint, the strategy for clearing the boundary between reality and illusion differs significantly from that of ordinary players.

The first-level frog-headed stitched monster has now been found by players to have several ways to beat it without actually learning the mechanics.

The second and third layers actually contain a considerable number of monsters, but due to differences in plot triggers, the boundary between reality and illusion was not encountered.

Unbeknownst to many, just yesterday, the little-known guild in Japan, [Red Feather Heavy Industry], successfully conquered the fourth level.

It is considered relatively unknown because although it made it to the main tournament and competed for a spot in the World Championship, its performance was mediocre, with both of its results being among the worst.

Prior to this, they were not among the guilds with the most progress in conquering the Underground Temple.

There are many hardcore guilds in Japan that are racing to conquer the 11th district, but the sudden rise of [Red Feather Heavy Industry] has left them puzzled. They spent the whole day yesterday trying to contact the relevant members of the guild to learn about their strategy.

Akabane Heavy Industries' response was similar to that of the virtual-real boundary, publicly stating that their method may not be replicable.

"Possibly" is a very ambiguous word.

Because of this ambiguity, guilds that were ahead in the progress in Japan began to question it, and the community was in a heated debate for a whole day.

Players who support [Red Feather Heavy Industry] believe that other guilds can't stand seeing excellent guilds surpass them in progress. They want someone to cross the boundary between reality and fantasy, but they don't want that person to be someone other than themselves. It's a twisted form of envy.

Opponents demanded that Akabane Heavy Industries release a video to prove its claims.

They cited the boundary between virtual and real worlds as an example, arguing that the practice of displaying a results screen after each completion of a level in the virtual-real boundary ensures authenticity.

Jiang Heyi never expected that the boundary between the virtual and the real world would become a weapon in the public opinion arena of the two factions in the neighboring 11 district. In the translated posts, at least 50 out of 100 posts mentioned them.

He instinctively refreshed the page and discovered that the post had just been updated.

[Red Feather Heavy Industries] added a settlement video and stated that the fourth floor does not require killing the Slime King, only severely injuring him.

hiss~~

Someone actually broke through to the fourth level. How did they do it?

Too many people downloaded the settlement video, almost crashing the website.

This is not fake; it's a genuine clear. The Elemental Heart and recipe for the Slime King have both dropped.

Among the members of Akabane Heavy Industries, the top-tier players only have a full set of purple-grade Blessed equipment. With this configuration and personal ability, even the Frog-Head Stitches, which focuses on full-power output, would have a hard time. So how did they manage to do it?

When the Slime King unleashes ritual magic, his entire body is protected by a magical shield, and ordinary magic can only create ripples in front of his body without causing any effective damage.

However, in physical melee combat, you can easily penetrate the shield and leave marks on its soft body with your weapon.

This was no easy feat. Even after breaking through the overwhelming barrage of bullets, their weapons and magic struggled to tear apart the Slime King's body.

So, they first went through various tasks, killing monsters in the wild to accumulate enough materials to customize the potion.

Then, having successfully dodged the ritual magic, he snuggled up to the Slime King, took out all the potions from his backpack, and self-destructed!

Akabane Heavy Industries' potions were of good quality; the first wave blasted the Slime King to pieces, and all members of Akabane Heavy Industries were also annihilated in the close-range explosion.

Given the current situation, it should have been a failed strategy.

but……

All players of Akabane Heavy Industries retained the "Blessing of the Stars" item given at the beginning of the game, a divine item that can revive them with full health once without any side effects.

After six more players were resurrected and then self-destructed and died, the last member of the guild successfully finished off the damage, bringing the Slime King back to his senses from the manipulation of the Church of Eternal Night.

How did Jiang Heyi find out about the strategy?

It was Akabane Heavy Industries that released it!

Originally, I only wanted to release the settlement video to gain attention when the doubts reached their peak.

As a result, the people from Akabane Heavy Industries did not completely delete the added video files when editing the post, causing the earliest visitors to see their tactical plan of turning into bombers...

While it's undoubtedly a brilliant unorthodox strategy, for some reason, combined with the server they're on, the dark humor reaches its peak.

In any case, the second guild to break through the fourth level of the underground temple has appeared, and the unorthodox strategy is somewhat replicable.

The fourth level of the Underground Temple has stalled the progress of many guilds. The Boundary Between Reality and Illusion, which was cleared first and has already started its sixth level strategy, has become a reputation monster in the eyes of many guilds.

By catching up with the boundaries between the virtual and the real, one can share in the popularity they have accumulated.

Transcending the boundaries between the real and the virtual is the fastest way to gain fame.

but……

Jiangdong Iron Wall bluntly stated: "I wasted seven Blessings of the Stars, consumed all the magic potions I had accumulated over a long period of time, and passed the level by self-destruction. I'm not out of my mind yet."

None of the three guilds in the chat group intended to copy the strategy.
