T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"Every level that the Chaos Tower world opens up is unpredictable, and even we cannot know where fate will lead us."

"I recently learned a new meme from this world."

"If possible, it's best not to open the champagne halfway through the game."

"I really hope you can learn to be quiet and shut up; the game has only just begun."

The sarcastic and mocking words made Zhifeng furious.

The candlelight, as soft as cotton, was approached by the wind's actions, sparking with each word.

She detested the unfairness of the game.

Regarding Zhifeng's struggle for self-expression, she can calmly say, "Dolls are all imperfect beings, it's not surprising."

Thanks to the Lord's earnest teachings, she remained as composed as ever.

But the moment she realized that Zhifeng had tainted the game, her usually calm heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.

"I really want to tear her face apart!"

Evil thoughts grew wildly, and the desire to fight was like a reactivated volcano, roaring loudly.

There are no rules about chess pieces fighting off the board, and chess players cannot make moves—she had also heard of the story of the Great Han Chess King.

Xi Lu loudly reminded, "Boundary between the real and the virtual, second level, pass the level."

Like a clear spring, her voice extinguished the candle's thoughts of retaliation, and she turned her gaze to the world within the tower.

The second level of the Chaos Tower world: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."

The second level scene is exceptionally simple, a remarkably spacious dojo.

On the wooden floor, which looked like it had been coated with three layers of wax and was so shiny it could be used as a mirror, there were black wooden stakes that the team of seven could barely encircle by holding hands, connecting the ground and the ceiling.

Apart from that, there were no other decorations.

Yuru hints: "Destroy the wooden stakes to clear the level."

At least the first level has a level advantage, so when fighting monsters, you have to consider factors such as stamina and damage.

The second level tests your ability to stand still and deal damage.

In light of the overt theme of "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you," the entire team silently put away their weapons.

Jiang Heyi gave the prison guard a look.

"okay."

He summoned the zombie and patted it on the shoulder: "Go, take down the wooden stake."

The zombie swayed, opened its blood-red maw, let out a hoarse "gurgle" and pounced.

Sharp teeth gnawed into the wooden stake, followed by claws scratching wildly, leaving white marks on the dark wood.

The attack lasted for nearly 10 seconds. From the inside out, a hazy black light rippled outwards from the wooden stake, and the zombie was shaken into a pool of blood foam. The dissipated magic flowed directly into the wooden stake.

The horrifying scratches and bite marks on the surface of the wooden stake healed rapidly, as if it were not an inanimate object.

Just as everyone was stunned, the space in front of them distorted, and a blurry black shadow appeared between reality and illusion.

It had no facial features and was completely black.

Standing nearly 3 meters tall, his body is like a masterpiece sculpted by a master, with sharp angles and hard lines, like a rock, all showcasing the muscles of the human body and the beauty full of power.

He was wearing only a pair of animal skin shorts, and his thighs, as thick as an orange tea torso, were bulging with veins.

With a forceful stomp, the entire training ground shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

"drink!!!!!"

A furious roar, deafeningly loud.

His hands, which should have been empty, now held a giant axe.

He gripped the axe with both hands, raised it high above his head, and, ignoring the combined attack of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion, brought it down in a single blow.

Compared to the whole prelude of the event, the ending felt somewhat anticlimactic.

The damage wasn't high; Zhong Zemo's giant shield slammed into the ground, and everyone ducked behind it, surviving the attack unharmed.

Only a few scratch marks remained on the giant shield... scratches?

With a single strike, the mighty, muscular warrior vanished without a trace, as if erased by an eraser, his existence wiped away into thin air.

The jailer scratched his head and shrugged.

"It's just bluffing, nothing special."

Jiang Heyi and French Fries squatted in front of Zhong Zemo's shield, touching the rough scratches, and frowned in unison.

"Use the zombie again."

The jailer obediently complied, and this time he was asked to go easy on the zombie.

The muscular warrior reappeared, wielding his giant axe.

Although it still had the power to shake the earth, the damage was even weaker than before. Zhong Zemo, who was asked by Jiang Heyi to use the small round shield to absorb the damage, admitted that his hands were only slightly numb and he could not feel much force.

After two experiments, the jailer also glimpsed the clues.

"Will this wooden stake reflect the damage back to us in equal measure?"

Jiang Heyi stepped forward, stroked the wooden stake that had been damaged twice but now showed no signs of injury, and shook his head.

"It's not equal, it's double, and it will slowly heal the injury over time."

If a one-hit kill isn't possible, then the double damage bonus would be a wipeout mechanism for any team that's going all out on damage output.

Even with Zhong Zemo's giant shield, all his professional skills activated, and everyone taking shield potions to maximize their elemental shields, they still couldn't withstand a single hit.

The previous attack also revealed that all attacks against the muscular man only have a hit detection, but no actual damage. Therefore, there is no strategy of eliminating him first to break the mechanism.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi and the fries smiled at the same time.

They had the same idea.

"Monkey show!"

With a shout, the entire guild took their positions, throwing all the effective buffs they could provide to the two without hesitation.

[Summoning Tide] In the instant of the slash, the spatial slash is released simultaneously.

[Bloodlust Frenzy] stacks spatial slash damage, making it invincible.

Two beams of light, one red and one blue, pierced through the wooden stake one after the other, carving a bottomless pit into the ground in the center of the training ground.

The Tower World's powerful forces swiftly repaired the site.

Everyone swallowed hard, waiting quietly for the giant axe-wielding man to appear.

Ten seconds later, all was quiet, and the pleasant sound of the completion notification echoed in my ears.

"Is this what it feels like to be carried by a top-tier damage dealer? I love it!" Zhong Zemo put down his shield and clapped enthusiastically.

It's a very powerful monster with a strong mechanism, but unfortunately it spawned on the second floor.

Death does not consume challenge attempts, so players feel no pressure and can try and fail indefinitely.

If you can't kill it instantly, you can exit and reconsider your options to find a solution.

Whenever the item refreshes on the fourth floor, Jiang Heyi doesn't dare to act rashly. He first uses his highest output to test the item.

No matter how much you describe the candlelight, it can't compare to actually playing a couple of rounds yourself.

With a foundation of experience from the first two levels, they gradually figured out how to play the Chaos Tower world, blurring the lines between the virtual and the real.

Chapter 337 Word Chain

Those at the top of the leaderboard all stopped progressing after reaching the third level.

As he examined the current situation of the team that was stuck, Zhu Huo couldn't help but smile.

Just then, her eyes met Zhifeng's, and as she watched his expression gradually contort, she couldn't help but grin.

Zhifeng racked her brains trying to maximize the effect of level suppression, but the rules of the first two levels were not on her side. The low difficulty meant that the leading group's advantage was not obvious.

As for the third level, it seems to be far too "interesting" for some of the leading players in the Three Kingdoms.

"When you started exploiting the vulnerability, did you ever imagine it would start like this?"

Zhifeng's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

Under her instructions, the agents of the Three Domes were able to seize the initiative and dominate the points leaderboard.

But all of this is based on the premise of exemption from [level suppression] and sufficient firepower.

The fighting and killing, the quick and skillful gameplay, it's all easy to master.

However, the third layer is not a purely challenge-based battle design.

Teleported to the third level, the boundary between reality and illusion is bathed in a soft white light.

The name of this level is [Custom Enemy].

Pushing aside the white mist that seemed to "wrap" around their bodies like silk threads, the group cautiously moved forward. After only a few steps, a wooden table suddenly appeared in the hazy white mist.

Behind the wooden table, the empty shell of a doll, lacking facial features but with a human-like outline, lay quietly on the chair.

He searched around the bed and shook his head at Jiang Heyi.

"Nothing at all."

The moment Jiang Heyi sat down in the chair, the doll was reborn. It sat up abruptly, its stiff body swaying violently from the movement.

The puppeteer clearly didn't give it a mouth, only slightly outlining the lips, but it still made sounds with its mouth that couldn't open or close.

"Challenger."

Jiang Heyi nodded.

"Please allow me to explain the rules to you."

The doll held its head in its hands, then it was removed and placed on the table.

Hmm... This operation seems familiar.

Is the defining characteristic of these candlestick puppets that they can put on a show without saying a word?

The game is a word chain game.

"One minute for the relay."

"Time's up, roll the dice, select 3 keywords, and complete my construction."

"I will also become the enemy of all challengers after the relay ends. Successfully challenging me will allow me to proceed to the fourth floor."

"Reminder 1: Each time you take turns thinking, you have 5 seconds."

"Reminder 2: If the chain fails, the whole team is wiped out."

"Reminder 3: If the challenger actively leads the words to words that cannot be chained together, I will automatically obtain all the keywords generated in the chaining process and always be 10 levels ahead of the challenger."

"Reminder 4: Words used in the word chain cannot be repeated, reduplicated, or homophones."

"Reminder 5: If the challenge fails, the challenger must take turns and rest for 30 minutes."

The boundary between reality and illusion is staring at each other.

Sure enough, it came.

Even during the preparation phase, they learned about the complexity of the Chaos Tower world from the candlelight.

Floors like the first and second levels, with their simple and straightforward rules that can be easily conquered without much thought, only represent a glimpse of the possibilities they offer.

The different styles of each floor and the diverse challenges they present are the true meaning of "chaos".

French Fries took a deep breath: "I'll test the waters first, since I do deal with words in my spare time."

"Sigh, what's the point of saying all this if I write a draft but don't show it to anyone?"

The jailer put his hands behind his head and muttered complaints, which drew unanimous agreement from everyone else.

The fries' reaction to this was... no reaction.

No matter what I said, she just wouldn't let me see it!
