T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Review the game first, then devise a strategy. The "mowing down the grass" tactic is just a deceptive illusion to lull players into a false sense of security; the real story is far more complex than they imagine.

The polyhedron cast an illusory blue light, sweeping across the entire trial arena.

The arena barrier, which had been closed by the Church of Eternal Night, reopened, and a massive curtain separated the inside from the outside.

"The Starry Sky Jade has malfunctioned."

"mine too!"

"And mine."

Jiang Heyi gritted his teeth and stared up at the polyhedron that was still scanning.

It was it that did it.

Either win the battle or die in the trial grounds.

This is the choice that polyhedra offer them.

This wretched thing could never be the creation of the Clarity Ones; its specifications and power far surpass those of the Clarity Ones and the Church of Eternal Night.

Thinking about the background story and plot is of no use in understanding the situation; the battle of the dark elves has already begun in the shadows.

The blankets were kicked out of the darkness by the other person, and she opened her mouth and closed her eyes.

Before they knew it, the entire training ground went dark.

The Dark Elf Doll is creating her own stage.

She is coming.

……

……

As dawn broke, Jiang Heyi woke up and stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

Zhong Zemo's condition was much the same as his.

What kind of monster did they encounter?

Relying on the mutual destruction of their blankets, they managed to defeat the Dark Elf puppet despite losing four members.

But the battle was not over yet. The rhombus descended again. It was like some kind of special personality chip. Once replaced, the doll's behavior patterns, personality, and abilities would immediately change.

In their third battle, they faced mushroom-men who could spread spores and cause a fungal carpet to grow on the trial grounds.

Under the influence of hallucinogenic dust, the original flavor fries and the jailer left Jiang Heyi one after the other.

The spirit summoned by the prison guard before his death provided Jiang Heyi with a second of fear control. During this brief window of opportunity, the weak flame was finally ignited by him.

Then... the Big Bang.

A lethal dose of spores covered the site, and the dust it shed caught fire, blasting Jiang Heyi into the air.

It was an extremely foolish mistake, but at this point in the battle, Jiang Heyi, whose physical and mental strength were already overloaded, felt like he was living a life worse than death.

He even felt that this was his consciousness deliberately inducing him to do so.

I'd rather be free from this sooner rather than later.

"Hey Heyi, let me make a hypothetical statement, just a hypothetical one." Zhong Zemo gulped down a mouthful of water, "The Trial Arena, the word 'trial' in this name doesn't correspond to this polyhedron, does it?"

Jiang Heyi's face darkened.

What does that mean?

To test whether players are qualified to become Hercules, let's have a 12-trial system.

Given the number of rhombuses in a polyhedron, there must be at least 1200 trials, right?

but……

Thinking about it carefully, being able to experience all sorts of dolls with different abilities in just one level is definitely worth the ticket price.

In ordinary games, such intense boss battles are simply handled by placing a bunch of reskinned bosses or just piling on stats to annoy players.

Stellaris, by not resorting to reskinning, has already outperformed 9% of game developers.

Chapter 131 They successfully united players from different servers.

After grabbing some rice noodle rolls and sweet soup from the nearby old street with the prison guard, the entire group from the virtual and real boundaries ran back to the hotel and gathered in Jiang Heyi's room.

Zhong Zemo downloaded last night's video onto his laptop.

If you were to ask what the most intuitive feeling the ninth floor brings to players, everyone would say that the boundary between reality and illusion is chaotic.

The two churches are locked in a fierce battle, and a mysterious foreign enemy is also invading.

The sight of grass being cut along the way, and the ruins scattered everywhere, only amplified the impression of chaos.

The chaos reached its peak the moment the polyhedron appeared with the doll.

"I wonder if the cost of precision repairs will be enough to cover the equipment's scrapping." Jiang Heyi fell into deep thought.

Although some materials were reserved for the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, the need for precise repairs was an unexpected situation—they obtained a large number of repair kits through guild war lotteries, but these were all temporary repairs.

The image froze on the rabbit girl in dragon scale armor, and everyone sighed as they watched.

The attacks from other dolls might at most deplete their repair kits, but she alone delivered a punch right to the heart of the player's economy, causing true damage.

"What do you think are the key elements to passing the game?" The woman, chin in hand and orange tea in hand, lay on the bed swinging her legs.

This question stumped everyone.

If a rhombus represents a doll template, it is almost impossible to break through a polyhedron.

"Let's assume that defeating a certain number of puppets will trigger a special event," said Original Fries.

New questions arise one after another: a certain quantity, but how much is it?

The polyhedron exhibited clear characteristics of a series of boss battles: the Dragon Scale Armor Rabbit Girl, the Dark Elf Shadow Stalker, and the Fungal Carpet Mushroom Man. They defeated three of them on their first encounter without gaining any experience.

Do you need to defeat 5, 10, or 15?

Unlike the previous floor guardians, this level seems to test the player team's adaptability.

The more strategies and tactics the team can come up with, and the wider the coverage, the more likely they are to stand out.

Tonight, Jiang Heyi must first confirm one thing—whether the appearance of the puppets is regular.

If things don't go smoothly, they'll need to accumulate some items before attempting the challenge again.

I thought the black cat was scary enough, but the ninth floor is even more formidable. Without any allies, you need to fight your way through in extreme battles.

The later the game goes, the more difficult the bosses become.

There are still 3 more floors to go. What will pop up at the end of the Temple of the Clarity...? Just thinking about it is exciting!

As a player, the more difficult the boss, the more challenging it is, and the more it proves one's own strength.

The four guilds that qualified for the World Championship all coincidentally skipped their morning and noon schedules today and stayed in their hotels.

They want to be witnesses.

The community was buzzing with excitement from the morning onwards.

Of the 45 guilds sponsored by the four guilds, only 11 unlucky ones failed to break through to the fifth level and collapsed in despair.

The remaining 34 lucky individuals, having experienced the power of the eighth-level black cat's mechanism, immediately posted messages expressing their gratitude upon waking up.

"All eyes are on me! I'm announcing something: I am the dog of the boundary between reality and illusion!"

Only through experience can one understand why the boundary between the virtual and the real must remain silent, and why those guilds that have come into contact with the eighth level have also chosen to keep quiet.

The more one understands this, the more one grits their teeth at the "Yin-Yang Realm".

At 10 a.m., the guild leader of Yin Yang Realm appeared in the live stream wearing a mask.

Domestic game media outlets, who had been eagerly awaiting the broadcast, will simultaneously rebroadcast the event.

Jiang Heyi watched the live stream with a calm mind. Although not every player could experience the eighth level, he still wanted to postpone the time when the mechanism was revealed as much as possible.

He did enough; the tacit cooperation among players from different time zones kept this romance going for nearly half a month—that was enough.

With billions of people on Earth, how many selfish, attention-seeking idiots are there? Do you think we live in paradise?

When a domestic player who volunteered to act as a simultaneous interpreter mentioned "modifying the dream world," the live stream chat exploded with comments.

The screen was completely obscured by a dense barrage of comments.

Yin Yang Realm used some of the gameplay footage to illustrate the power of the skill [Boundary Between Reality and Illusion] and its groundbreaking mechanics.

Behind the voices of doubt and confusion came the astonishment of countless players who had grasped the reason for their silence regarding the boundary between reality and illusion.

"Now I know why the potato grower kept his mouth shut."

"Knowing the mechanism, or following the mechanism without knowing anything about it, will result in completely different experiences after waking up."

"This unique experience will be completely discontinued and will never be repeated after the live broadcast at 10:10 AM on October 2nd."

Considering that the Virtual Reality Boundary, together with three other guilds, emptied their coffers to rush to send someone into the eighth level last night... many players were deeply moved.

"The difference in player quality is immediately apparent. Players from so many time zones are keeping quiet, maintaining this secret so that more people can experience the game's thrill..."

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide.

Jiang Heyi opened her account and posted an update.

"Later, we will release some tips and tricks for conquering the eighth floor. We wish everyone a happy holiday and all the best."

They also attached a group photo taken yesterday at the farmhouse after catching a big fish, with their heads naturally covered by a seal patting its belly.

The moment I posted the update, I received nearly a hundred replies.

"I admit that I am a bandwagon hater, a meme kid, and I have stirred up trouble in guild wars many times, and I have also been stirring up your drama from time to time. I repent."

"Can you guys be a little less high-class? You clearly passed the dungeon where the boundary between reality and illusion was cleared first, but you kept it a secret and led so many players to guard the secret. In the end, the experience was ruined by others, making it seem like they were the ones who cleared the eighth floor first. And yet, the Potato Guild Leader isn't even angry."

"You guys are busy planning your trip during the holidays. Why don't you have a few days of fun and we'll explore on our own? Don't make me beg you."

"Supporting the boundary between the real and virtual worlds is a way to maintain a strategic advantage, lest some disgusting thief steal it and then, in the annals of history, claim it as their masterpiece."

Surprisingly, there were comments in other languages ​​under the post. I used a translation app to check them out, and they were mostly expressions of gratitude for the efforts made by the virtual-real boundary during this period, especially for the initiative launched last night.

It seems they got to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience by finishing the line.

Crimson Music Box congratulated in the group: "You guys were already popular in the overseas gaming community before, and after this, your overseas fans will probably double."

OrangeSky has been paying close attention to the dynamics of overseas servers for a long time, and has a large fan base on overseas servers that blur the lines between the virtual and real worlds.

Unlike in China where orange tea and Jiang Heyi are more popular, outside of China, fries and Zhong Zemo are more popular.

One is an extreme, aggressive attack, the other is a shield that always provides a sense of security for teammates—two extremes.

What are people talking about outside right now?

"You've come to the right person!" Scarlet Music Box immediately shared the newly completed translation compilation in the group chat.

What comes into view is a long review.

"I absolutely support the live stream of the boundary between virtual and real worlds, revealing the mechanisms and truth of the eighth layer. I will not have any doubts about them revealing the mechanisms and destroying my gaming experience."

"Because I know I'm bad, I can't get to the eighth floor, while they are experts."

"But instead of fucking releasing that damn strategy to bolster their reputation, they were willing to give us enough time to catch up."

"He hopes that everyone can feel the pure shock and emotion brought by the game."

"I can understand why those who barely made it to the Black Cat dungeon last night are so excited today. If it were me, I would be even more excited, and I would jump onto my dining table and roar."

"When we were young, we were very innocent. Even glass marbles made us feel that there were countless wonderful things in the world waiting for us. Games will keep us young forever."

"But as time goes by and we enter society, it becomes a luxury to seek that purity again. Life can't defeat me, but it makes it hard for me to breathe."

"I am a father of two children, and I have no time to pick up any games. I am always busy, but Proof of the Stars gave me the opportunity to pick up games again."

“I know that everything in the dream is an illusion created by the headband, it’s all fake, but I still love everything about it… because it gave me another chance to go back to my childhood.”

"It was like playing marbles for the first time, or starting to collect trading cards for the first time. Everything was so new and exciting, and everything amazed me."

"When I realized that masters of the boundary between reality and virtuality were willing to remain silent for the sake of those who came after them, and that game masters from various countries also chose to follow in their footsteps, do you know what I thought of?"

"This chaotic world can be saved. At this moment, they can understand each other without communicating, which shows that some emotions can transcend language and ethnicity."

"Friends, no matter how you see my comments, this is my opinion on the boundary between reality and virtuality. They are definitely a group of excellent players, a group of pure players, and a group of players who love games."
