T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

It felt like I was back at the moment of filling out college applications after the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), standing at a crossroads in my life, feeling lost and hesitant...

Shit!

What's there to hesitate about!

Looking at the hesitant French fries across the table, he tried hard to suppress his nervousness and shyness as he directly threw out the invitation. If he could refuse, he might as well become a monk!

"What...should I take back with me?"

I originally meant to say "the past," but my brain automatically corrected itself, as if a little person had jumped into my mind and was worried for me.

"Whatever. As long as you show up, they'll probably start yelling and jump right next to me, talking nonsense to me. They won't care whether you bring anything or not."

The fries, no longer shy and sweet, pouted and spoke with disdain.

Jiang Heyi recalled the scene of meeting Liu Jinhong and Lu Xinxin offline.

The moment the two people's large heads appeared, the description of the fries immediately came to life.

If I could, I'd really like to know how they got together; they're a match made in heaven.

If they don't pair up successfully, it's because they're letting others suffer.

The event will begin at 0:00, and the agreed-upon online time for the virtual-real boundary is 11:00.

Everyone finished their real-world affairs early and went to bed wearing the medical equipment.

Jiang Heyi, who had just finished washing up and was adjusting the information on the game app, had just put on the headband when there was a knock on the door.

Curious, he opened the door, and there stood French Fries, carrying his large pillow.

"Uh..." Jiang Heyi sensed something, wanted to speak, but got stuck.

"I accidentally spilled water on the bed and it's seeped in. Can I sleep here for the night?"

If Jiang Heyi remembered correctly, the French Fries' bed was a straw mat covered with a thick cotton quilt, and if it got soaked, all that was needed was to change the quilt.

But in this situation, with French fries in his pajamas and a pillow, his toes already digging into the three-bedroom apartment, if he can still say the sentence above after seeing this scene, he seems destined to be lonely for life.

French Fries casually tossed the pillow, landing it precisely in place.

She often comes to the room to use the computer, and when she gets tired, she just leans back and lies down, so she knows this place very well.

It's just a matter of adding another blanket and a pillow.

If he wasn't seeing things... Fries' face was quite red.

Is this also one of Keshazhi's tricks?

"Why were you guys delayed by 10 minutes today? That's weird." After the guild finished assembling, Jailer couldn't help but mention it.

Jiang Heyi and French Fries each looked away.

"I'm nervous and have some trouble sleeping."

"Such severe insomnia?" the jailer asked suspiciously. "According to Candlelight, the device has a certain hypnotic effect. Unless you are extremely excited, it is difficult to resist the drowsiness."

The two trembled slightly at the mention of excitement.

Jiang Heyi covered her face: "Anyway, the Tower World is about to open, let's set off now."

Chapter 335 Is this all for the first level?

At midnight, a tower with billowing black mist appeared next to the player's information panel.

Following a tip from Fat Seabird, who was keeping the emails, Jiang Heyi grabbed the tower, which appeared to be a projection, from the panel and placed it in a secluded corner of the guild.

Seconds later, thick fog rolled in, and the outline of the portal became faintly visible.

The teleportation portal between the Chaos Tower world and the main game world has been established.

As you pass through the fog gate, a strong feeling of falling suddenly hits you.

The sense of crisis that his body was out of his control made Jiang Heyi break out in a cold sweat.

The discomfort came quickly and went quickly.

"Boom~~"

Seven muffled thuds followed, and the boundary between reality and illusion slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented.

Startled birds flapped their wings, skimming over the treetops and scattering leaves in a flurry.

The damp, earthy smell of soil wafted into my nasal cavity.

Despite the sharp pain from the impact, the jailer stood up.

"Bah bah bah!"

He instinctively opened his mouth and shouted, landing hard with a mouthful of mud on his face.

Jiang Heyi looked around and saw lush trees with dense foliage that blocked out the sun, leaving only a faint ray of light filtering through the treetops to help them distinguish between day and night.

"A truly unique way of teleporting." The blanket grumbled as it patted the dust off its clothes.

French Fries discovered that the player information panel could not be closed, and the image projected in mid-air was also changing.

A familiar figure slowly appeared.

With her eyes veiled by a light gauze, Xi Lu held a celestial globe and spoke with a smile.

"Welcome to the world of the Tower of Chaos. I, Yuu-dew, will guide every brave adventurer to climb this endless tower of chaos."

While many players were still joking about "finally seeing the reuse of character models from the Stars of Truth," those who knew the truth could only smile and remain silent.

A perfectly round crystal appeared out of thin air in front of each player.

The conditions for clearing the first level of the Chaos Tower have been announced.

Kill intelligent beings to obtain their essence.

Once the entire team is full of energy, the passage to the next level can be opened.

Jiang Heyi reached out and touched the bead, and a shiny UI appeared above it.

“0/1000.”

"1000 full aura, does that mean I need to kill at least 1000 intelligent beings?"

The jailer got excited.

His Necromancer's Staff requires him to kill ten thousand intelligent beings to unlock the [Echo of Vengeance] skill.

Just like a pillow coming when you're sleepy!

At the boundary between the real and the virtual, everyone rolled up their sleeves, ready to enter battle frenzy mode, while Orange Tea looked around anxiously.

"I...what should I do?"

The Summoner isn't without combat ability, but she's only ever been in a support role and hasn't practiced fighting.

“No problem, we’ll chip away at your health, you finish them off,” Jiang Heyi said. “But I think the support should also be able to rack up points, otherwise this design is pretty overpowered.”

French Fries checked the information panel and sent a reminder.

"The level cap is currently 50, so please be careful."

Everyone checked and found that the level cap had indeed increased by 30 levels in one go.

The entire team, except for Orange Tea, were seasoned veterans who immediately understood what this meant.

The strongest monster in the Chaos Tower world is also level 50.

If the monsters possess the attribute of "level suppression", any challenge that crosses levels will be close to hellish difficulty.

To secure the highest ranking, you must level up.

Zhong Zemo took out the ingredients he had prepared in advance and cooked a roast suckling pig on the spot. He also made some wraps for everyone to roll up and eat.

This dish increases satiety and stamina. In the main world, they haven't paid much attention to the meager bonuses that food provides for a long time, but the new dungeon still needs to respect that.

The World Championship chat group was very lively.

Unlike the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, the other three teams immediately started fighting after understanding the rules.

At first they were overjoyed, but now...

Captain Jegan: "What a tough slime! It survives a full combo of skills and can even turn around and give us another elemental spell."

Lafrecia: "This insane goblin can actually deflect my sword! What kind of elite monster came out of the theater?"

The purple-haired old woman on the railcar: "Is it reasonable that a player who can dominate the main world can't beat a snake-man mage on the roadside in the tower world in a direct confrontation?"

Thirty-year-old who became a Grand Mage: "What nonsense! This is called high magic suppression, you know? So what if you're from the main world? The magic abundance is different, you can only suffer, understand?"

I am a master of the Divine Stele: "You know what, those little snake people were quite lewd."

"???"

"???"

Nagoro Soup: "You guys open the panel and adjust the display of game dynamic information; it can even display monster levels!"

Ready to eat after opening: "Thanks for reminding me, I only realized it after I had reached 70 breath."

Huangliang Yimeng: "What the hell? How come you already have 70 aura? We only gained 5 aura after killing two goblins by the roadside."

The can-eat knife was pulled from the tree spirit's trunk, and dark green sap splattered all over the ground.

He waved dismissively, signaling his companions to clean up, while he quickly shared the information he had gathered.

"Currently, it seems that the stronger the individual, the more aura they provide."

"I don't want to take risks. I can just dawdle and kill weak intelligent creatures bit by bit to make up the numbers and still get through the game."

"If you want to quickly dominate the leaderboard, try to find ruthless people to target; that's the most efficient way."

Jiang Heyi asked, "What about gaining experience?"

The user glanced at their personal information: "Just as hard to level up as outside, level 50 seems a long way off."

"By the way, the tree spirit I encountered was level 22, which is already quite tough."

"In the main world, I feel like it can't withstand the blow I deliver after my bloodlust frenzy."

The effect of level suppression is obvious.

The entry threshold for the Chaos Tower world was level 16, which now seems quite humorous.

Without good equipment to offset the negative effects of level suppression, facing monsters with significantly different physical attributes from those in the main world would likely result in a terrible gaming experience.

While I was eating roast suckling pig, my private message notification came through.

Liu Jinhong spoke his mind: "How can the monsters in the Tower World be so powerful? Our team was practically dying!"

Jiang Heyi clicked on his personal information and took a look.

Level 16, dressed in purple gear.

That's so true, my dear brother-in-law!

The official recommendation is to wait until level 20 to attempt this challenge, with a minimum requirement of level 16. Are you really only level 16?

The low-level monsters in the Tower World were laughing their heads off. Where did this buffet come from? They could eat to their hearts' content.

Liu Jinhong's team members who were running the Clarity instance had a very good relationship. They didn't mind being fed dog food by the couple day and night. On the contrary, they felt that after a busy day, seeing something sweet in their dreams made them feel refreshed when they woke up.

Upon first hearing this, the fries were greatly surprised.

"It's true that it's impossible to please everyone."

Under Jiang Heyi's persuasion, Liu Jinhong, who listened to advice, did not continue to suffer setbacks with his companions and waste his time.

The Tower World is destined to be a dungeon for high-end players to prove themselves in the current stage of the Stars of Proof, and ordinary players have no chance to participate.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, with all the buffs maxed out, they officially set off at the boundary between the virtual and the real.

Not far away, Jiang Heyi suddenly stopped, summoned the tide, and swung his sword in one swift motion.

The French Fries and the Blanket also reacted, joining forces to execute a spatial slash.

Zhong Zemo's magic-suppressing small round shield shot through the air.

The attacks came one after another, and a large tree by the roadside was instantly shattered into pieces.

By the time the others realized what was happening, the experience had already been absorbed into the four of them.
