T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"Things after death are for after death," Jiang Heyi said. "We're only in our twenties, and our lives have just begun. Let's not think that far ahead."

The jailer ate half a small pigeon in one bite.

"I can't help but think about it. The theme for the World Championship will be decided soon for number ②. If we lose and disagree, we'll be in big trouble, right?"

A brief silence fell over the table.

French Fries took a sip of tea: "Then we'll win."

Jiang Heyi felt the fingers wrapped around the fries under the table and gently pulled them towards him.

The two smiled knowingly.

“That’s true. Have we ever lost since the server opened?” Jiang Heyi said. “Have we always been considered T0 by other players?”

"As Candlelight also said, among the other servers that were launched at the same time, we were in first place in all aspects of progress."

"Not only is he number one in the Chinese server, but he's also number one in various world rankings. Why can't he maintain that position?"

French Fries added, "Don't overthink the worst-case scenario; it's probably due to a lack of resources in real life."

The jailer clicked his tongue and pursed his lips: "How is it not enough? I'm saying this because I'm afraid of being eliminated by number ② and not being able to continue looking at erotic pictures and commissioning artists."

"Is this all you've got? Good heavens..." Jiang Heyi covered her forehead. "Is this all you're obsessed with in life?"

"Of course there are more."

"What is it?"

"Watch the jailer."

"..."

The prison guard's remarks always leave people feeling powerless.

The jailer's family suddenly started pressuring him.

I used to be a lazy bum, lying in my room, just waiting to die, a marginalized member of the family, and nobody cared about me.

Unexpectedly, the fish turned over a new leaf, its once hard body regaining its elasticity. While everyone looked at it with new eyes, they couldn't help but use the usual phrase used to treat younger people of this age—"You're not a child anymore."

It's a troublesome and dangerous starting move no matter where you are.

"I'm going on a blind date this afternoon."

"what?"

Jiang Heyi was dipping the shrimp dumplings in vinegar when she heard about the shrimp dumplings and almost dropped her chopsticks.

"My family introduced us, saying we share the same hobbies," the prison guard added. "I also heard he loves playing video games."

He actually wanted to refuse, but he couldn't turn down his family's kindness.

Jiang Heyi understood. It turned out that this guy was suddenly having wild thoughts because he was a little nervous about the blind date that afternoon.

Social terrorists also have this side.

After chatting for a while, everyone went home.

Is it a bit too early to talk about starting a family?

Jiang Heyi's mind started wandering.

"Potato."

"Ok?"

"It's Chinese New Year today, aren't you going home?"

A set of chopsticks and a bowl represents a family reunion dinner. If this were used to describe someone else, it would be a curse or an insult. But for Jiang Heyi, it is a true reflection of his New Year's Eve dinner over the years.

My uncle would only come to check on him on New Year's Eve to see if he was alright and bring him some New Year's gifts.

Now that he no longer lives under someone else's roof, he has gotten used to being alone.

Jiang Heyi was taken aback for a couple of seconds when someone suddenly asked that question.

French Fries immediately explained, "I'm asking if you need to visit that uncle, right?"

He smiled and said, "Of course not."

I used to avoid visiting other people's homes because my aunt felt uncomfortable with it.

Now I'm afraid she'll feel even more uncomfortable.

Uncle Wei Xingchao already knew about Jiang Heyi's fame, but Aunt knew nothing about it, which is impossible.

Looking back on those years he spent boarding school, his aunt's disdainful attitude towards him must be embarrassing enough to leave him speechless now.

"Then why don't you stay with me? If I go home, will you come back with me?"

French Fries spoke casually, but her expectant eyes and upturned lips betrayed her.

"Why 'if I go home'?" Jiang Heyi chuckled. "Is there an option not to go home?"

"It depends on their mood. It's not bad for the two of them to spend the New Year here. It's also a good opportunity for them to be all lovey-dovey." French Fries snorted.

This couple has a long history of being overly affectionate...

Jiang Heyi couldn't help but put her hand on the back of her neck; for some reason, it was unusually itchy there.

"Wouldn't it be a bit..."

"You can bring some gifts if you want."

French fries clearly misunderstood.

"They probably don't know we're living together yet, right?"

"understood."

"Oh……"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Jiang Heyi's eyes widened.

"what!!!!"

French Fries covered his forehead: "And I knew about it a long time ago."

Jiang Heyi's voice was trembling. Being caught stealing bok choy from someone else's vegetable garden by the person in question made him feel numb all over.

Although he took good care of Lu Xinxin and Liu Jinhong in the game, and would occasionally give them scraps from his backpack, it was all in preparation for the future.

But this meager treat is clearly not enough to buy a large serving of fries.

First, we need to determine the time of the incident.

"What? When was it discovered?"

"I'm not sure, but I estimate it's been a long time," Fries sighed.

"Then how did you know?"

"Mom let it slip!"

During the lull after completing the Temple of the Clarity guide, the guild account wasn't updated very frequently. After all, aside from the dungeon guides, the guild's main video series was just the sweet Siren Love VLOG.

The main characters are Jiang Heyi and Ke Xia.

The material is still plentiful and plentiful. As the guild's dating mentor and the one who inspires internal relationships, the Kesha tactic has already brought together two couples.

In their daily communication at home, the couple would always intentionally or unintentionally mention the content of the video, and then the topic would turn to Kexia, with the implication being, "If Kexia were in real life, Xiaofei, you would be utterly vulnerable."

As parents, we always understand our children's weaknesses better.

A few simple words are enough to make French Fries hang up the phone with a cold face and gritted teeth, while the other person laughs uproariously.

The reason I know their reaction is because I accidentally didn't hang up immediately once.

Since then, she would always pause a little to listen to what the lovey-dovey couple had to say about her.

And this time, the content was...

"Xiaofei is really something. They've been living together for so long, but it sounds like there's still very little progress. She's definitely not as good as Kexia."

After confirming her relationship with Jiang Heyi, the impact of the phrase "It's better to be like Xia" dropped sharply.

No matter what others say, Jiang Heyi is right beside me, in the next room.

I'm the only one who can enjoy a delicious breakfast when I wake up groggily in the morning, while Ksha is far away in the game.

She could only manage to eat grilled fish with mint!

We won too much!

French Fries's "reactive" acting was merely a perfunctory attempt to appease the couple, given their equally wicked sense of humor in teasing their daughter, a skill they possessed that was hard to resist.

If they know they've developed a resistance to the phrase "not as good as Kshasa," they'll invent new tactics, research new tracks, and explore new ways of playing.

Perhaps because they kept nagging about it, Kesha did a small favor, which exposed the overly proud couple.

Jiang Heyi covered his forehead, gradually calming down from his earlier anxiety.

Why should we feel uneasy?

I didn't do anything wrong to the fries; I genuinely like them, and I'll have to face the reality sooner or later.

It makes no difference whether you are exposed early or late.

Maybe that lovey-dovey couple will even think they did a good job!

Discovering they're living together might elicit applause and cheers, followed by a drink at home, and then, still feeling the afterglow, a discussion about whether they're doing the same thing.

Although the evidence is practically nonexistent and the argument is extremely absurd, the couple on the other side are not normal people either, so we should think of things as absurd!

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi calmed down completely.

The indoor air conditioning and heating were turned on early, and the doors and windows were closed tightly, making the room warm and cozy.

Wearing a thin white short-sleeved shirt and shorts, she lounged lazily on the sofa, clutching freshly fried fries, seemingly still troubled about how to resolve the situation.

She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Jiang Heyi staring at her.

"Think about what Kesha would do!"

In his mind, the phantom of Kesha appeared, poking Jiang Heyi's head with his finger, and with a flick of his tail, a huge slap twisted Jiang Heyi's face.

Jiang Heyi didn't know how his mind came up with such an outrageous picture. It was as if Ke Xia was actually there, with his expression and movements perfectly replicated.

However, the chubby tail did indeed awaken a certain thought in Jiang Heyi.

A sentence came out of my mouth without any thought.

"Let me taste what fries taste like."

While pondering the lovey-dovey couple's affair, the fries naturally shifted its body, switched the freshly baked fries in its hand, and offered them forward.

Before my vision could focus, a figure gradually grew larger in my eyes.

Before I could even react, a completely new taste of fries came to my tongue.

She subconsciously raised her chin slightly to meet the other person's movement, and shyly closed her eyes.

The oil temperature was a bit high; the fries were piping hot and red, perhaps due to lack of oxygen, and they were also a little soft.

It took a while for the sticky feeling to disappear from my mouth.

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath and casually picked up a French fry and tasted it.

Hmm, the taste is similar to what he tasted earlier, except it's saltier.

The fries shriveled up, and all I could think about was that phrase: "Let me taste what fries taste like."

"As expected of you... you completely fooled me."

She blushed and panted as she complained.

Jiang Heyi wanted to say that it was caused by the presence of a Kesha in his mind, but when he thought about the current situation... he decided not to mention it.

I wonder if Zhong Zemo, while chatting enthusiastically with his wife, ever thought of Ke Xia's sharp and wonderful direct moves.

What kind of person was Cassiopeia in history?

Ah... if we choose to save Anna, Ksha won't really come after them because of their actions in colluding to change history, will they?

Jiang Heyi had never thought about this issue before.

At this very moment, someone who had also never considered this particular problem sent a private message to the Crimson Music Box.
