T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"See for yourself."

"Hmm, all abilities are at the baseline, no outstanding strengths, just average... Hah~~~"

"The dolls have a lifespan of 150 years. The last batch has already reached the end of its lifespan and is being replaced in large quantities. This time, we must ensure that the newest and best dolls are sent to ■■■ and ■■■■■."

She yawned again.

"■■■, they asked us to help screen this batch. They said there's a high chance of finding outstanding children, but it seems only two are suitable?"

"What should she do?"

Both of them looked at the newly lit candle.

"If the core is unstable, from the perspective of resource utilization, it is better to rework it."

"That's all."

Zhu Huo stood beside Chen Shaoyu, looking back at the past with him.

His eyes were full of respect for the two of them.

"I..." The woman with spider legs thought for a moment, "■■■ has set very high standards. Since we meet the requirements, why don't we let someone try to claim it?"

She coughed: "Cough cough, I have a friend..."

"Why don't you just say you want to receive it?"

"what……"

"After all these years, will you still freeze in place after being exposed?" The woman who kept mosquitoes as pets was still yawning. "Is it because of the child you adopted?"

"An alchemical genius! His future achievements will surely surpass mine." The eight spider legs swayed excitedly.

"■■, alright, I've filled it out for you. Master, you should say hello yourself. As an alchemy master, you know how to prevent potential accidents caused by defective products… Okay, since I helped you fill out the form, you'll cover my shift today~~"

The soft glow of memories recedes like the tide.

Chen Shaoyu stared ahead, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long silence, he organized his thoughts.

"So, these big shots are usually this casual?"

"The master said that when they reach their level, they can do whatever they want with their words and actions."

"You almost...died."

Candlelight nodded: "I am one of the first batch of puppets created after the Sovereign roamed the starry sea, responsible for replacing the old puppets that could not be replaced."

“My role is more special, as it gives me the opportunity to meet the true ruler.”

"Therefore, the selection process for our batch was particularly rigorous. All those who did not meet the average standard in the trials were sent down to lower levels, and the defective ones were reworked."

The true ruler?

Are there fakes?

Through the candlelight, Chen Shaoyu glimpsed a corner of that distant world.

In the realm of domination and rule, the number of puppets is fixed.

A technological iteration cycle takes 150 years. During this period, although there may be innovations in puppetry and magic, only a limited number will be piloted.

Unless the "lord" in charge of logistics grants permission, a forced replacement will not be made.

Although the world does not recognize the Doll race, the Overlord does.

Although the puppets were their creations, the ruler granted them the rights of "human beings".

Powerful dolls have a clear promotion path—due to the scarcity of battles, the most common promotion path is housekeeping.

They need to compete with powerful creatures such as slimes and sirens for the opportunity to work in the area they dominate.

"You mean, these races that beat up players in the game can only be maids to the Overlord?"

"The promotion of head maids is locked. One head maid is refusing to move, which means the ruler can only add a second-level honorary head maid."

No, wait a minute?

Chen Shaoyu sorted out: "So, the Overlord is actually so easy to talk to. The head maid just had to act cute, and he locked up one path to advancement, forcing him to take a roundabout way to achieve his goal?"

"The Lord is a sentimental person, and they don't want to be clung to by the head maid and crawl around everywhere."

"..."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

He still held onto hope, anticipating that it might be a case of misinformation.

"My master was fortunate enough to see it, recorded it with the photographic jade, and shared it with me."

"And she had me try it out."

"..."

The fact that the photograph of the precious jade could be preserved is truly a testament to boundless kindness.

If a different tyrant were in charge, everyone who witnessed this scene would die.

So all you incredibly talented people are comedians?

Chen Shaoyu's grand vision of that powerful world ruler was shattered in an instant.

How could such a dignified image crumble so quickly?

Is this still the epic civilization that suppressed an entire planet with just candlelight?

How can a ruler be so indecisive!

So unreasonable!

No matter how many times he had doubted the master's morality and character before, he would never doubt them again after this.

Chen Shaoyu took a deep breath and caught his breath.

"Let's continue talking about dolls."

"it is good."

Even under the ruler's dominion, there are soulless dolls.

Unlike individuals with "human" rights, these are products of an unconscious collective, forming, along with golems and giants, the visible workforce in daily life.

The creation of soulless dolls is not subject to the control of the ruler, but only to the management of the lord.

"Something's not right... Your lord can be above the ruler?"

"Yes, some things."

What do you usually mean by "certain things"?

"In matters related to money, the ruler's word sometimes doesn't count, and the lord will rebuke him."

"This is also recorded?"

"Yes," Candlelight said firmly. "I'm here this time."

Candlelight, tasked with delivering good news about the progress of alchemy to his master, overheard the argument between the lord and the sovereigns outside the sovereign's study.

In terms of voice, the lord has the upper hand.

Several rulers were lectured with their fists slammed on the table, and in the end, they reluctantly rejected a certain expenditure proposal.

The character "川" (river) is clearly visible between Chen Shaoyu's brows.

He struggled to apply the Warhammer universe to try and explain away the points that were simply incomprehensible.

But the thought of the High Lords reaching into the Emperor's purse and standing before the Golden Throne, pointing at the Emperor and cursing him, is unbearable.

"You weasel, you son of a bitch, you want to touch the purse strings? Did you even ask me first..."

"Money? No. Life? I've already died several times while fighting alongside the empire!"

hiss……

The fact that the Imperial Guards didn't send him to immortality on the spot suggests they were all suspected of being accomplices in the rebellion.

Chen Shaoyu knew he was courting disaster.

But this time he really couldn't help himself.

"Your ruler hasn't been... usurped, has he?"

The candlelight paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, growing more and more unrestrained until finally, it roared with laughter.

A few candles lost control of their emotions.

Her calm face was completely filled with smiles, as radiant as a sky full of stars.

"The Lord wouldn't mind such an offense. He cherishes everyone under his protection equally and is willing to give everything for that peace."

Chen Shaoyu didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

He suddenly realized that he was no different from his parents.

His family couldn't understand what he was talking to, and he was quite similar to Zhu Huo.

What seemed perfectly normal to the candlelight appeared to him like a fairy tale... beautifully unreal.

Could the candlelight be right?

"The order of this universe was established by the first powerful beings."

"The atmosphere of this universe was also established by them."

The Overlord has put this into practice, so he can confidently issue a declaration to the entire universe while sending puppets outside the universe.

Chapter 482 An Encounter in Another World, Enjoying Delicious Food

The candlelight was fully aware of Zhifeng's suspicions.

Even Chen Shaoyu was curious whether the rapid outbreak of critical instances in the Three Kingdoms Lands in a short period of time was related to Xi Lu.

After all, from a probability standpoint, it seems very strange for all the accidents to happen on the same day.

"Yulu is merely a personified data, a guide rooted in the Tower world model, or in your words, code. It has no inclinations or attributes."

The candlelight flickered.

"If they run into them, they're just unlucky."

The 16th and 17th floors of the virtual-real boundary were randomly selected. They are tower defense challenges of relatively low difficulty, similar to the difficulty of the 5th floor.

Players in the Three Realms generally need to progress one level per day to have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

Currently, the top-ranked Fuxian Sect is stuck on the 19th floor due to the difficulty of the challenge, unable to move forward.

The rapid rise in points has caused a stir in the domestic player community.

They definitely came from behind and surpassed each other.

From being completely unknown to being second to first, after activating the Celestial Sphere mode, they witnessed every victory on the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The misfortune of the Three Domes Land has created an opportunity for the boundary between the real and the virtual to overtake each other.

Thinking about how the boundary between reality and illusion had extended to the other side's house, and then thinking about Zhifeng's frustration at being powerless due to the rules.

It turns out she also had a New Year's gift, which was personally given to her by the Stars.

She could burst out laughing just by glancing at what the Star Gazing Sect was doing.

……

……

At this time, the land of the Three Domes is neither in front nor behind, and there are no festivals.

The Star Gazing Sect, who struggled and barely managed to pass the test in the game, finally found their place outside the game.

Since receiving guidance from a master and abandoning the unrealistic dream of competing in the game, their lives in reality have suddenly become smooth sailing.

Very busy, really busy. Everyone is operating at high speed. Even if everyone had multiple people, they still couldn't keep up.

They couldn't find any chickens that could be slaughtered in 30 to 40 days among the population.

However, with the revival of spiritual energy, they found out that chickens could survive for about 60 to 80 days.
