T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Since the start of National Day, a news item about the boundary between the virtual and the real world has been widely circulated.

Player [All Mankind Flies to the Sky] had an unhappy marriage and was divorced, losing half of his family's assets.

Because many details about the protagonist in this news story matched Zhong Zemo, she couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious.

The phone call, intended to hint at something, was met with a cold response, offering no further details.

Du Jingwen then began to pay attention to game-related content.

Knowing that there would be a live broadcast tonight, she nervously waited in front of the screen before it started.

"Please don't let it be him, please don't let it be him, please don't let it be him!"

Du Jingwen kept repeating it to herself.

However, when the screen signal came through and the faces on the stage became clearly visible, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she slumped into her chair.

"how come……"

"Why!"

This was the first sound that echoed in Du Jingwen's mind.

Meanwhile, players lined up one after another, holding shields and asking Zhong Zemo for autographs, including many beautiful young ladies...

A nameless fire suddenly welled up inside Du Jingwen.

How could Zhong Zemo be so popular!

Chapter 169 A Joyful Offline Meetup

Zhong Zemo is a boring person. Du Jingwen believes that marrying him in a moment of impulse was the biggest mistake she ever made in her life.

In his life, his only hobby is gaming. In his free time, he would rather spend the whole day sitting on the computer or console, or even take his board games out to play with other people, than work any harder for his future.

When Du Jingwen's friends heard her complaints, they all felt that his serious demeanor as a teacher on the podium was just a facade created by his professional ethics.

Although he can take good care of himself in his daily life and treats her reasonably well, mentally, Zhong Zemo is just a child who never grows up.

He's just an immature adult.

A mature adult should think about the future and strive for a better life, instead of being aimless and wasting their time on trivial pursuits.

Du Jingwen has always believed this, and she still firmly believes it now.

Anyone who falls for him, except her, will regret it.

She thought so, her friends thought so, and everyone she knew agreed with her.

Getting a divorce over a stupid game is utterly absurd.

However, this unwavering idea gradually failed to convince Du Jingwen.

Besides the footage from the official live stream, many content creators also arrived at the scene. Through their live stream perspectives, Du Jingwen saw the young lady cosplaying as Zhong Zemo's character from the game, and was overjoyed to receive autographs and photos with her.

"Thank you, Squid Bro! Thank you, Squid Bro! Could you take one more picture? Just one!"

Her hopeful and excited expression made it clear to anyone that she truly liked Zhong Zemo.

"How can it be so popular?"

"How can it be so popular!"

Even though she tried to comfort herself by saying that these people only liked him in the game, Du Jingwen still felt like grinding her teeth just looking at the interactive scenes.

Zhong Zemo looked exceptionally happy in the video, beaming with joy at every fan he met.

He was completely different from the timid and submissive man he was at home.

A fan asked Zhong Zemo to bring a shield and elbow him for a photo, an outrageous request he agreed to.

He even cooperated twice more to get on camera, and he apologized to the fans and the people queuing behind him for it.

The comments section was filled with "warm-hearted" and "good guy" messages.

He was asked to draw his favorite anime character on the shield, and although he was clumsy, he patiently complied.

"I'm a nobody on Bilibili, can I interview Squid Bro? Just one question... How did you practice your shield parry?"

This question has touched on a topic that many players are eager to know.

Many players want to replicate Zhong Zemo's cool shield parry in the game, and most of them end up feeding the monsters with a slide tackle.

Why is Zhong Zemo so amazing, while they are struggling?

Even though she was feeling down, Du Jingwen couldn't help but become curious.

She had no idea where Zhong Zemo got his gaming talent.

Zhong Zemo on the screen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know either. I just randomly tried to reverse the direction, and it worked."

He added, "Maybe I was too tired from struggling with life before, and I didn't realize that I actually have quite a lot of ability."

"Dragged down by his ex-wife?"

Zhong Zemo simply smiled, but that smile said it all.

Du Jingwen felt a lump in her throat. Just as she was about to switch to the live stream, the content creator finally got a turn in the chat.

"Brother Squid, Brother Squid, can you sign this and then take a picture with me while holding it up?"

When Du Jingwen saw the items she wanted to sign, her eyes immediately turned red.

Escaping my ex-wife, I was reborn as the God of Counterattack.

The content creator thoughtfully drew a cover sketch for this novel, which only has a title and no content, based on the game character Squid Bro.

Zhong Zemo was clearly taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle and did as he was told.

Previously, the screen was full of comments praising Squid Bro's good temper, but suddenly, the tone of the comments changed drastically.

The entire live stream was flooded with a dense barrage of "hahahahaha," making it impossible for Du Jingwen to see anything on screen.

Every comment seemed to be mocking her.

She became everyone's source of amusement.

A comment on the screen sent a shiver down Du Jingwen's spine.

"Luckily, Squid Bro left early, otherwise the World Championship revenue would have been sucked away by the vampire."

Dividends?

Du Jingwen, who had previously overlooked this point, was struck dumb; her heart began to bleed and convulse.

Although I only started learning about this game in the last two days, all the information from various sources indicates that the four guilds that have entered the World Championship will achieve financial freedom, no matter how far they go in the end.

Financial freedom...

These four words echoed in her mind like a curse, making her dizzy with each repetition.

A word that Du Jingwen previously couldn't believe would be associated with Zhong Zemo.

Although I received substantial compensation in the divorce and can live comfortably for the foreseeable future, but...

Compared to financial freedom, this is nothing!

No word could sting Du Jingwen more than "financial freedom." If she weren't worried about the money, she would have already picked up the water glass on the table and smashed it against the screen.

Aside from pounding the table, she couldn't think of any other way to vent her anger.

Why does it become like this!

Zhong Zemo was unaware of Du Jingwen's current mental state; he was trying his best to meet the fans' requests.

Jiang Heyi once said that today's offline event marks the beginning of their transition from ordinary people to public figures, and they must maintain a good image.

This is simple for Zhong Zemo: just be consistent inside and out.

He's not someone who tries to create a persona; he just needs to show his most authentic self, and that's good enough.

Strangely, he became more confident after the divorce.

Staying away from PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics really does bring good luck!

Another enthusiastic player, Zhong Zemo skillfully posed for a group photo.

The squid is busy and happy.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Not far away, the prison guard looked rather disheveled, with sweat even beading on his forehead.

The name "Social Terrorist Jailer Bro" has long been widely known in the community, and his glorious deeds are sung by fun players.

For example, it has the magical gashapon machine property of giving you one lewd picture of a prison guard and getting two of them in return.

For example, according to an insider from the Orange Sky Strategy Team, the biggest obstacle in the eighth level of the Reality/Illusion Boundary Strategy, when encountering the Black Cat, is that the Jailer Brother's craving for countless Jailers in the Dream has greatly increased the Black Cat's strength.

For this reason, the prison guard proudly stated in the group that this was his testament to the prison guard's integrity and that it was a badge of honor!

These remarks, if leaked, would be considered divine.

People who enjoy themselves naturally attract other people who enjoy themselves.

Since it was an offline event, everyone was relatively restrained, but there were still some ruthless individuals who actually brought printed pictures of prison guards as tribute.

Logically speaking, the prison guard's pictures aren't particularly revealing or obscene, so there's no need to worry about them. But the prison guard guy told his family that they wanted to watch his live stream tonight!

The prison guard was in a terrible state when faced with these sudden bombs.

The official live stream source understands the memes and immediately switches channels whenever any unusual situation is detected.

However, it's hard to say about other live streaming sources.

Last time, I escaped a disaster in front of my dad thanks to my amazing performance in bed.

Brother, please help me!

At the jailer's house, Yuan Huanye impatiently shook his leg.

"Does this director have a conflict with our Shucheng? He's quite stable when focusing on other people, but when filming him, he keeps changing the scene, and there's nothing special about it after the scene change."

After dinner, the entire Yuan Huanye family squatted in the living room. The older brother, Yuan Yuwen, had specially set up a projector so that everyone could watch clearly.

Just seeing the prison guard's face during the interview made his family overjoyed, as if it were a holiday.

Everyone was having a good time until that insidious question arose.

Yuan Huanye, being an experienced man, immediately sensed that the person asking the question had ill intentions.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch, you bastard!"

The interview was only given 15 minutes. The theme of the offline event was clearly focused on player interaction. Giving these professional reporters space was also a warm-up for future interviews at the World Championship.

Everyone just goes through the motions, asks a few meaningless questions, and everyone just wants to be nice to each other.

If you want to ask more questions, you can just wait in line and ask after the guild is divided into sections. Why ask such an embarrassing question when everyone is watching?

Yuan Huanye could deduce the game company's arrangements from the interview schedule, so he didn't believe that these reporters hadn't been given prior instructions.

Who would believe it if I said it wasn't to dig a hole so I could create a big news story later?

I thought the people on stage would just spout some empty platitudes to fob me off, but who would have thought that the prison guard would launch into a furious and aggressive attack that left the reporter trembling with embarrassment.

Cool!

Before Yuan Huanye could even shout, his family cheered.

The close-up shot of the reporter being speechless and unable to speak was incredibly satisfying.

Yuan Huanye felt completely relaxed, every pore of his body radiating comfort.

This good-for-nothing kid, who just lazes around in his house like a dead fish, is surprisingly energetic when he gets going.

Well done!

Yuan Huanye was past the age of acting impulsively. Although he knew that publicly criticizing someone might have some hidden dangers, but...

Back in the day, when he ventured out on his own, wasn't he just as fearless?

How could someone who lacks spirit, courage, and is timid and submissive seize the opportunities that were once popular?

They drowned in the waves long ago!

Yuan Huanye preferred his current son to a deadbeat.
