T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"We've looked at your file. You got in through the exam, it wasn't easy."

“I heard from your classmates that you are very frugal with your meals. Are you having any difficulties in your life? You can mention it to them.”

Su Mian shook her head repeatedly: "I just won 20 from the competition, and there will be bonuses from the World Championship in the future, so there are no difficulties for the time being... I'm saving money on food, it's just... I'm not used to it yet."

There are also teachers in the office who have worked their way up from the countryside to where they are today, and their simple statement that they "are not used to it" is enough to move people.

“This is good quality, keep it up,” he praised.

"It's been a month since school started. Have you adjusted to the school environment?"

The elders' warm greetings made Su Mian nod repeatedly: "I'm very comfortable with it, I like it very much."

The person who asked the question suddenly changed the subject.

"Since you've adapted, why did you ask your counselor about changing dorm rooms a week ago?"

Su Mian was taken aback. After recalling the details that Jiang Heyi had told her in the group chat, she no longer hesitated and told him everything about how she had been deliberately isolated and bullied in the dormitory.

The warm smiles on everyone's faces in the office gradually disappeared, turning from sunny to cloudy, then slowly becoming serious, before finally returning to normal.

"It's okay, I've thought about it. If it really doesn't work out, I can rent a place near the school," Su Mian waved her hand repeatedly.

"Renting a place isn't urgent. We need to find out about what you're talking about first."

"Don't talk about being isolated in this dormitory for now, especially online. You understand, right?"

“But I’ve already mentioned it to people in the guild.” Su Mian quoted what Jiang Heyi had taught her. “Besides, some people in the class already knew about them.”

The office fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the department head said, "That's all for today. You can go back now. We'll take care of the dormitory issue. Don't rent a place for the time being."

As Su Mian left the office, she felt her back was soaked with sweat.

This was her first time experiencing a scene like this, where teachers were interrogating her, so she was inevitably nervous. Fortunately, when the scenario predicted by everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion occurred, she answered according to their script.

After sharing what the teachers said in the group chat, Jiang Heyi asserted that she would soon be able to transfer dormitories and live alone.

"How did you know?"

"You can tell just by looking at their answers. If they were just trying to brush it off, they could have easily agreed. But now they're investigating the 'glorious deeds' of those guys in your dorm. It's obvious they want to solve the problem."

"Furthermore, given your special circumstances, if you move to a new dormitory and encounter some awful roommates who isolate you, secretly take photos of you and post them online for clicks, thus causing public outcry, how should they handle that?"

"A player who is about to represent the country in the world competition is being bullied at your school and his performance is declining. Who would want to take that risk?"

"You'll have to live on campus during the first semester, otherwise they won't be able to use you for recruitment purposes."

Su Mian felt that she was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper in front of Jiang Heyi.

She's an expert even with her bed; she solved a problem she encountered at school with just one photo.

"Do you do this even in bed at school?" she wondered.

"No, my roommates are alright," the blanket said. "Whether you get good roommates is really a matter of luck. Speaking of which... you're a bit unlucky in this regard."

Zhong Zemo also became interested: "Could it be that orange tea brings good luck in the game but bad luck in real life?"

After thinking about it, Orange Tea realized that she didn't think she was that unlucky in real life.

My parents gave me a healthy body. I have rarely been sick since I was a child, and I have never lacked food or clothing.

She was very popular in her class during high school; no one disliked her.

If she had to say, her roommates who came with her when she entered university were probably the most malicious people she had ever experienced in all these years.

But now, with everyone's help, this problem is no longer a problem. Thinking about it this way...

Apart from being a bit poor, I don't seem to have much to complain about in the first 18 years of my life.

I think I'll be able to earn some money in the future, right?

The prize money from the World Championship should be enough to renovate the house back home, and then invite my parents to live in the city, right?

"Hehe." She chuckled to herself, lost in thought.

Since meeting everyone, it seems that there are more and more happy things like this.

There are only two days left until the National Day holiday, and I have already booked my high-speed train ticket to Guangzhou.

"What do you all look like?"

Ah... why is time passing so slowly?

……

……

After giving Orange Tea a training session on sales techniques at noon, Jiang Heyi, representing the boundary between reality and illusion, accepted an interview with the European server's Star of the Stars [Durandal] strategy team.

OrangeSky played a crucial role in this, as they, as part of the strategy team, established connections with many servers and shared their experiences.

Durantal was one of the first to share guides, account videos, and activity logs on the European server regarding the boundary between reality and illusion.

Because it is not easy to connect with the boundary between the virtual and the real, they only made this interview possible after asking Orange Sky.

Due to the time difference, many of them were in the game. This member of the strategy team seemed to be the one in the guild responsible for being online during daylight hours, which is why they were able to have a conversation.

Her ID is Noneya. If we had to translate it, Jiang Heyi thought "No" might be the most appropriate translation.

In short, he imagined "Nong Ya" throughout the entire interview on the channel.

Nong Ya first expressed her gratitude for the generosity of the Virtual Reality Boundary, as the guild with the most advanced progress in the world is always willing to share its strategy tips.

Nong Ya spoke sincerely and earnestly.

As the translator of "[Thirty-Year-Old Job Change to Great Mage]" from the Orange Sky Strategy Team, I translated it without any psychological pressure.

Only Jiang Heyi... truly felt the enthusiasm of this strategy team.

Is it necessary to praise him for two minutes?

The interviews mainly focused on the daily dungeon-crawling habits and personal setups of the players on the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

Copying expert configurations is something many gamers do.

Regardless of whether you can execute the same maneuvers, copying them means you have a good understanding of the game!

Finally, Nongya requested a permission to repost from the Virtual Reality Boundary—although the Virtual Reality Boundary never explicitly prohibited reposting, it ultimately did not receive approval. Therefore, the Durandal strategy team believed that confirming the Virtual Reality Boundary's stance was crucial.

With such impeccable manners, Jiang Heyi naturally did not refuse.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask President Cyber ​​Potato for help with."

"Oh, about strategy guides?"

Nong Ya repeatedly made the sound "no" in the voice message.

"I want an autograph."

Jiang Heyi can speak English, he just doesn't speak it fluently.

"Signature? On what? Are there any requirements?"

"clothing."

"Uh, men's clothing?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood..." Nong Ya quickly explained.

Before the translation could even be uttered, "[Thirty-year-old who became a great mage]" couldn't help but burst into laughter, making Nong Ya feel embarrassed and speak even softer.

"I don't want Potato Sister's autograph... I'm a fan of Original Flavor Fries. Could you please ask Potato Sister for my autograph?"

"?" Jiang Heyi was full of questions.

"Then why didn't you explain and let the fries be interviewed?"

“From what I understand, Sister French Fries is very aloof and might reject me, but if you ask Brother Potato, it’ll definitely work out.” Nong Ya laughed, “Please, please!”

The previous discussion about the boundary between reality and illusion, including mentioning oneself for two minutes, also carries this implication.

There's more later, Zhang said, "Modo Modo."

Chapter 113 The Squid Escaping from Suffering

Original flavor fries are very popular on foreign servers. One reason is that Berserker is a popular class during guild wars, so Berserker players get more attention. Khorne's Chosen is highly praised because of its guild name and playstyle.

On the other hand, her name is quite witty.

Whether fries are best served plain or with dipping sauce is like the debate among Chinese people about whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory.

The topic is second only to your plan to discuss putting pineapple in pizza with an Italian.

Nong Ya is a supporter of original flavor fries, and she hopes that "French Fries Sister" can draw a bag of fries on her clothes.

"If you can't draw, then forget it," Jiang Heyi relayed.

Surprisingly, the plain fries agreed to the request.

"You're really good at this."

"I know a little, not much," said Plain Fries. "I'm self-taught."

They'll have someone from Orange Sky buy the clothes for them, and bring back original-flavored fries when they participate in events.

"An event?" Plain Fries asked. "Was there any announcement?"

"A message just posted in the official group chat indicates that the event is scheduled for October 8th in Guangzhou."

It is said that the original plan was to hold the event in Shanghai, but it seems that a big shot from the Stars Campfire event was traveling in Guangzhou, so the Chinese server's agent changed the location accordingly.

Is there still a chance to meet the person who designed this game?

Information about Starfire is limited to their sudden emergence on the internet; the company remains shrouded in mystery, leading to numerous conspiracy theories.

"I have bad news," Jiang Heyi announced in the group chat. "The Stars of Proof server will undergo a one-day maintenance."

The game's unique nature made all players realize only now that this is the first time the game has entered maintenance mode since its launch.

The community has a dedicated forum for reporting bugs, but since the game's launch, there has only been one confirmed bug case.

Although most teams currently attempting to conquer the Underground Temple of the Clarity are entering through normal means, the lingering effects of the progress-stealing mechanism left by Xigua Shaomai (a popular restaurant chain) still exist.

A very small number of players firmly believe that stealing the world bubble generated by using unorthodox methods can trigger a completely different storyline.

It's also possible that the unorthodox path has fewer participants, making it easier for them to stand out from the crowd, which is why they dare to be so unconventional and court their own demise.

The bug is appearing in this unorthodox level generated by the progress of the virtual-real boundary.

After a difficult victory over the Frog-Headed Stitches and the acquisition of loot, the "I'm Playing in the Mud in Northeast China" guild unexpectedly encountered a strange team composed of murlocs, elves, tree spirits, and half-dragons.

No intrusion indication was found.

Just as they thought the monsters were from the current level and were preparing to fight them head-on, the players who brought up the panel were shocked to find that information bars were floating above the heads of these monsters, and strange characters were constantly popping up.

The sudden encounter startled the other person, who then started shouting and created distance.

They were unfamiliar with the language as well.

The encounter ended with the complete annihilation of the "I'm Playing in the Mud in Northeast China" guild. Feeling increasingly uneasy, the players uploaded the video to the bug complaint section, hoping to find out what exactly happened.

This video sparked heated discussions among Chinese players and was subsequently reposted to other servers.

First of all, the characters used by these players do not match any known character set, and they cannot find a corresponding input method.

Secondly, according to comments from linguistic experts, the language spoken by these players does not conform to any existing language family.

To date, all bugs encountered by players have been identified as "mechanics" rather than bugs.

This was the only one that, after official review, was confirmed as a "serious bug," directly leading to the first major maintenance for the Star Token.

The official explanation is that data corruption caused content from other stages of the game to be triggered in the Underground Temple dungeon.

The unknown language and script were created by the game itself to fit the background design.

The guild 【I'm Playing in the Mud in Northeast China】, which was directly affected, will receive full compensation for the materials and items lost during the strategy.

Items that were not obtained in time to clear the level will be directly sent to the player's guild warehouse.

In addition, the game's official team will provide two sets of universal material fragments (red), 40 sets of purple materials, and one set of Starry Sky Gem with 3 uses as compensation.

It gave us so much.

With such compensation, the unlucky "I'm Playing in the Mud in Northeast China" had no complaints and exclaimed in the comments section that he didn't mind encountering bugs every day.
