T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"Players from other worlds see you as monsters."

“Look at them, it’s the same for them.”

Chen Shaoyu suddenly realized.

As long as they claim to have deployed more intelligent NPCs to enhance the competition's prestige, who can tell whether the players on the field are monsters or players from another world?

Those special NPCs and neutral merchants who appeared early on were undoubtedly laying the groundwork for this step.

Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyu was speechless for a moment, looking at the candlelight as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Ask away," Candlelight grinned.

"You lied to those big shots?"

“No, they are in the know,” Candlelight replied immediately. “The decision to compete with the other three worlds was made during the initial negotiations.”

She paused, then added.

"After this maintenance is complete, I will inform everyone to postpone the World Championship."

Chen Shaoyu was stunned.

"Can't it be fixed?"

“It’s difficult.” Candlelight hesitated for a moment, then looked at him with unusually bright eyes. “It’s not a simple malfunction.”

"And you are currently the only one who knows this secret."

Only the sound of the two chewing remained in the room.

"Why don't you delete this memory? It's better if I don't know." Chen Shaoyu backed down. "I still want to get paid and make a living."

Candlelight couldn't help but chuckle and stuffed another steamed bun dipped in vinegar into his mouth.

"To drift through life is a very negative way of putting it. You are excellent and should not belittle your talents."

"Talent?"

The value of the same compliment can vary depending on who says it.

In this world, there is probably no one more significant than a candle flame.

Chen Shaoyu admitted that he was somewhat flattered to hear this word.

During elementary and middle school years, relatives who came to visit during holidays would often say with a hint of hope, "This child might be a remarkable person in the future."

If one were to find a word to describe his long and unproductive 25 years of life, it would be "unremarkable".

They went to an ordinary school and read ordinary books.

I got a score that wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't bad either, and I entered university step by step.

It's hard to say whether I learned anything new during my four years of university. When graduation came, the future plans in my mind were a mess, and all that was left was to take it one step at a time.

Upon entering the workforce, resumes submitted often disappear without a trace.

In order to be independent, I did part-time jobs and daily-paid jobs, just so that my family wouldn't worry.

I finally got a good job, but I'm just a low-level worker, constantly working overtime and living a monotonous life.

At the end of the month, I'll give him a portion of the money, transfer some to my parents, and the rest is only enough for him to barely make ends meet in the big city.

Talent—a very unfamiliar word.

He didn't have any decent skills, or perhaps he had some talent, but time and circumstances didn't allow him to stop searching.

With just that one simple sentence, Chen Shaoyu's mind raced.

He joked, "What talent do I have?"

My heart was filled with anticipation, longing for the candlelight to say something more.

"Really not?"

"At least I can't see it." He shrugged helplessly, adopting a humble posture as if asking the candlelight for answers.

"I lost contact with you the day after I gave you the power."

“For nearly a week, you have been the only person in the world who possesses…” Candlelight tapped his forehead, finding the word that came to mind, “a person with extraordinary power.”

"I give you a measure, a flexible measure."

“You carefully integrate with your own morality, without abusing it, without going to extremes, and without being seduced by the powerful force itself.”

Chen Shaoyu subconsciously corrected, "I'm just afraid you might come back to settle scores."

"You underestimate the allure of power. In the vast sea of ​​stars, I have seen countless fallen ones. Even when faced with a bloody end, the majority of people still choose madness without hesitation."

Chen Shaoyu remained silent.

Are you testing me?

“No, this was an unexpected situation. I was also worried on my way back.” Candlelight’s smile was full of relief. “Please don’t belittle yourself. Your heart is much stronger than you think.”

"You do possess talent and an inner strength that far surpasses what ordinary people can imagine, which is rare even among the stars."

In a fleeting moment, Chen Shaoyu suddenly understood the magic behind the phrase "a scholar will die for one who understands him".

He used clichéd words to mask the overwhelming emotion that was about to well up inside him.

"You're making such a good deal, are you going to give me a raise or not...?"

"Okay, add it."

The candlelight and chopsticks were empty; the three steamers of xiaolongbao had been completely devoured.

The most I've ever eaten.

Seeing that she was still enjoying herself, before Chen Shaoyu could ask her anything, she picked up the small bowl containing sweet vinegar and drank it all in one gulp.

Ah this?

"Give me some more, and I'll consider giving you a raise."

On a morning when autumn was turning into winter, Chen Shaoyu was busy running errands.

Jiang Heyi is also very busy after delivering fries to school.

I received a call from my future father-in-law early in the morning, and my heart was pounding with anxiety.

Fortunately, it was just about the game.

Liu Jinhong made the call secretly. He was still enjoying the wonderful gaming experience yesterday, but he knew that pretending to be a pro would eventually be exposed. In order to win back the expectations of his newbie teammates, he couldn't wait to ask Tudou for advice.

If it were someone else, he would think it was too much of a disturbance so early in the morning.

If it's a potato, then it's fine.

They've been living together for a while now, and their relationship is passionate both inside and outside the game. I wonder if it's because they're inseparable before playing games every day.

All signs indicate that the two are living together in a very harmonious manner.

Having been through it all, the couple, with their wealth of experience, have reached a conclusion.

The young couple passed the final hurdle, and everything else fell into place.

Their relationship is going even smoother than before; they can find themselves embracing each other without even thinking about it.

After editing a "Guide to Advancement for Magic Warriors," Jiang Heyi grinned smugly in front of his computer screen.

As long as you raise the level of affection, even if they find out later that the two have started living together, Fries' parents shouldn't be angry.

Thinking of this, he quickly proofread it again before sending it out with satisfaction.

I was editing videos while browsing online communities.

Two days in the game are equivalent to one day in real life, resulting in a high density of community information every day. If major events occur one after another, it's impossible to keep up.

Three times, three times.

They launched three incursions, all while seven players were offline at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, yet they gained nothing and were utterly routed by the NPCs left behind, suffering heavy losses.

This humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic of discussion in the Stars of Proof gaming community.

"If you feel that your skills are terrible and you can't do anything well in the game, I suggest watching excerpts from the Dragon Knights Guild Invasion video. It can effectively relieve your anxiety."

"Is this the guild that a streamer with millions of fans has been running for so long? Or are several guilds fighting together? They still can't break through the NPC's defenses that separate the virtual and real worlds. They must have an incredible number of fans."

"Where's your arrogance from mocking random players? I'm asking you a question, Dragon Knight. Aren't you so good at mocking others? Why aren't you mocking the boundary between reality and illusion anymore?"

"Some livestreamers lack professional ethics.JPG"

Because of the crushing defeat, Dragon Knight himself stopped making noise on his personal account, simply shutting down and refusing to play in unfavorable situations.

No fun. Jiang Heyi still has a big story in his hand, waiting for him to throw it out when he's being stubborn.

Ok?

Why is the topic of mint appearing again in the hot posts?

"A picture is worth a thousand words; the boundary between reality and illusion has even brought Mint home!"

"Sigh, she's just a witch who sells counterfeit potions, so let her be kidnapped."

"The potion she used to deal with the Dragon Knight Guild was no cheap one; it was either deadly or crippling, and quite ruthless."

The video evidence shows that she randomly tossed mints while pulling out potions, killing a whole patch of them with a single hit. She was even more efficient at cutting wheat than she was at it.

It's not some inferior magic potion at all; it's clearly the most efficient means of population control, a practice of Maximism.

"Besides the fact that Kishya is inexplicably out of print and can't be found, can't we also 'borrow' Mint?"

"You can try, but what's done is done, the damage to Mint is irreversible~~~"

"The episode where the 'wait and see' party won't suffer the most. I knew that indiscriminate killing of NPCs would cause trouble. Hehe, you pendant-loving people are in luck."

"Would you like this blessing?"

"Ah, why?! Why did I believe in evil and take that damned pendant? I wanted a witch to help watch over the house too!"

"Friendly reminder: killing Mint has also created a high-risk area in your world bubble. Sister Metasequoia has gone mad, and no one has been able to cure her yet."

The Metasequoia Sister dungeon remains the most difficult dungeon accessible to players who cannot challenge the Temple of the Clarities.

The terrifying mental magic of the demons forces each player to be fully equipped with items and potions to suppress mental attacks before they can even set foot there.

With a dungeon completion rate of 0 to date, they defeated the Temple of the Clarity, which had been breached by the boundary between reality and illusion, and forcefully climbed to the top.

No one knows what one will gain from defeating the dawn redwood.

Compared to the initial frenzied enthusiasm, players who had already triggered the "Darkened Metasequoia" storyline simply chose to ignore it.

As a result, a section of the explorable area on the map is naturally missing.

Jiang Heyi had a very strong premonition about mint.

If she can fulfill her long-held obsession, she might become another exclusive NPC at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

Therefore, there is no longer a boundary between the virtual and real worlds of the game's objectives. During this leisurely time, she is urged to engage in practical training in preparation for the competition with Renee to determine who is the strongest of Anna's generation.

Mint is quite tough. Even after being scolded until she was dizzy, she didn't continue the previous episode. As long as Renee was mentioned, she would have unparalleled strength and would persevere again.

The name "Rene" is much more effective than adrenaline.

Revenge, indeed, is an eternal theme.

The jailer sent me a private message.

"I've asked around for you, and I've heard of the name 'Eleravie,' but nobody knows where she is."

Jiang Heyi searched for relevant keywords on major community platforms, and all results containing the name "Ailelawei" were invalid.

The dragon Eleravia, the top craftsman of the Ana continent who forged demonic weapons, is shrouded in mystery.

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds obtained a commission scroll from a 9th-tier scumbag, which allows him to request the other party's assistance in forging, but he has been searching in vain.

The artisans of Falling Star Siren stared wide-eyed at the Origin Set dropped by Origin Elements, stroking it again and again with great affection.

After being repeatedly asked "Can it be forged?", he reluctantly and honestly replied that it was somewhat difficult.

The artisan cherished the exquisite materials, unwilling to let them suffer the risk of damage in his hands, yet also wanted to try to forge something beyond the limits of his own abilities. This dilemma was manifested in the siren's trembling eyes at that moment.

Their hearts and eyes are filled with the elements of origin.

It's really so precious.

"If you find a suitable person to forge it, please make sure we can watch."
