T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"The top damage dealer at the boundary between reality and illusion lives up to his name. He dances on the edge of a knife; it's either you die or I die. He plays with too much confidence."

"The more you win, the more confident you become, and you feel like you can handle everything. Your skills and experience snowball, making you unmatched."

Both men and women are swooning over each other, which is the standard reaction in French fries, guilds, and world chat.

She is the top damage dealer that every guild wants.

If there is a possibility that she will leave the boundary between the virtual and real worlds to find a new guild, the top guilds in the world will welcome her with open arms.

Even if the team's main damage dealers are unwilling, they will try their best to suppress their displeasure and helplessness when they hear her name and act as her wingman.

A person who can make even the most unforgiving profession shine will be a top-tier player, no matter what damage-dealing class they switch to.

After retrieving her weapon, the Withered Realm stared blankly at Fries' solo performance for a long time, watching her weave through the herd of rhinoceros beasts, her sword flashing and falling.

If the rhinoceros beast hadn't activated its demon-suppressing artifact, its rampage against the Peria army could have continued for a while longer.

It was like when he was a child and accidentally saw a great TV series while going to bed. Although he was really reluctant to leave, his inner rationality urged him to move.

"Let's go, let's get justice for the chairman!"

Those few words caused everyone in the Lemon Soda Guild to change their expressions.

Back at the guild, they stuffed all the items they'd traded with NPCs into their backpacks—they'd even taken the guild's central core that kept the puppets running and traded it away.

The surface of the Temple of the Clarity.

Through player exploration, people discovered many strange ruins in the thick fog on the surface of the Temple of the Clarity.

Explore ruins and defeat ruin guardians to obtain scrolls that upgrade skills, a large amount of experience, and high-value materials.

This is their mini tower world, a "dessert" exclusively for ordinary players, launched alongside the Tower World Challenge.

The area, which had been quiet due to the end of the temple conquest speedrun, has become lively again.

Since the fog is mostly a battleground, players will inevitably compete with other teams when they enter, making player-versus-player combat (PvP) very common.

The Lemonade Guild isn't strong; in the self-deprecating humor of its members, they're just a bunch of rats.

They dared not venture into the depths of ruins that might yield valuable materials.

Even if we went, we wouldn't be able to win.

They are either squads under a well-known guild, with rich gaming experience and excellent equipment.

They're either a small, scattered team of headhunters, whose minds are only focused on killing.

Either the Ruins BOSS will spawn and go berserk, allowing invading players to experience the pain on equal terms.

Knowing their limitations, they only wander around the outer layer of the ruins, hoping to trigger some special events that will allow them to find some useful materials to exchange for money.

Most of the time, what they play is a low-intensity garbage-collecting simulator.

It is very friendly to players who lack strength, cannot complete the main storyline, cannot advance the temple, and are unable to climb the tower world.

You'll likely find nothing in the dense fog for ten days to half a month, but you might also find high-level equipment crafting materials, which will happily add to your equipment upgrade plans.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Three days ago, the Lemonade Guild crossed the fog wall and arrived at a troll tribe.

On the troll's altar, two statues shimmering with red light were prominently displayed.

Materials with a red rarity would probably only elicit a "Is that all?" from someone on the boundary between reality and illusion.

For ordinary players, especially those who lack the ability to explore ruins, this is like a windfall.

At the same time they were fiercely fighting the trolls, another team accidentally wandered into this area.

Considering the mutual constraints, no one can easily obtain the material; failure or death means gaining nothing.

Everyone reached an agreement—one for each person.

then……

They betrayed the entire Lemonade team.

The story had only progressed to this point because of gullibility.

Lemonade drinkers are just ordinary people; they might sulk for a bit, grumble a couple of times, and then swallow their anger.

Unfortunately, after the betrayal ended, the other party even gave Liu Jinhong, who had taken the initiative to propose the agreement, an international friendship gesture.

Adhering to the prevailing ideology that only their own president can criticize them and that they are the ones who are most likely to provoke them, the lemonade is easily ignited.

Even though Liu Jinhong tried to persuade him, he still used up the instant resurrection that players received when creating an account.

Fierce battle!

"Young people these days are so restless, but I don't really care."

At their age, these little things in the virtual world don't really stir up any emotions within them.

but……

Despite saying that, the two immediately used up their precious collectibles, which they thought they would never use even if they quit the hobby, and joined the young man in a fierce counterattack.

I'll fuck you to death!

Liu Jinhong felt incredibly excited, instantly transporting him back to his student days when the neighborhood wasn't exactly safe.

When walking home from school with Lu Xinxin, I would occasionally hear that someone was having a fight or that another group of people were getting into a brawl.

Suddenly someone shouted, and the students on their way home from school clutched their backpacks tightly and ran as fast as they could, as if they were being beaten up by a group of delinquents with sticks.

At these times, he would always hold Lu Xinxin's hand with a happy smile.

Young people often have some wonderful fantasies, such as a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

Bravely fighting their way out amidst swords, spears, and clubs, they bask in the admiring and adoring gazes of those they admire, as if everything in their lives was a preparation for this grand performance.

A moment is eternity.

Liu Jinhong never expected that he would actually realize this dream.

Decades later.

in the game.

What shielded Lu Xinxin from was not the berserker's bloodlust, but the restless fantasies of her youth.

It's like my younger self jumping out and asking him if he's won over his favorite girl and if he needs my help.

"What was the president grinning about just now?"

Did I smile like an idiot?

"He was playing while grinning like an idiot and watching 'Sister Fanxing'."

"Wow, you're not even thinking about all that sweet stuff while you're fighting, are you? You two are hopeless idiots!"

Everyone was trying to deflect the awkwardness through conversation.

They lost, even though they knocked out four of the opposing team members.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I think about it.

Liu Jinhong and Lu Xinxin have long been the guild's mascots, and their cheesy little skits are an indispensable part of everyone's daily life.

The mascot was insulted by being given the middle finger, and the kind-hearted person was bullied by having their head stepped on. Everyone at Lemon Soda couldn't stand this insult.

So what if it's a large guild with a large number of members?

So what if the well-known streamer "Xiao Xiaofeng" is here?

So what if it was snatched by a top streamer?

It's unacceptable to bully the president.

Guild infrastructure, downgraded and monetized resources.

All the inventory that had been accumulated over a long period of time was sold off.

All of it is used to upgrade equipment and items.

Now that we know their guild, we'll do anything to make things difficult for them!

Damn it, I'm going to explode!

As night fell, the main force of [Little Wind Logistics Department] was busy conquering the Tower World.

Invade!

"Wait, let me share some things with you."

The couple opened their backpacks and distributed a huge amount of magic potions.

The group of lemonade drinkers opened their mouths slightly and slowly tilted their heads.

"This, this is?"

"A friend gave it to me; he said it would make me feel warm and cozy."

The hibernating orange cat opened a bottle and tilted its head back to drink.

"Don't!"

The hibernating orange cat's troll body trembled.

"what happened?"

"If you drink this, you'll really go into hibernation. This is for throwing."

"what?"

Since the boundary between the virtual and real worlds has been explored and a technology-driven approach has been developed, major guilds have been following suit in building guild strongholds.

Xiao Xiaofeng's logistics department is also establishing guild strongholds, so the coordinates cannot be turned off; anyone can infiltrate by simply entering the coordinates.

As soon as it landed, the hibernating orange cat couldn't wait to throw a bottle of magic potion at the wall of the stronghold.

The loud explosion made everyone's eardrums ache.

The moment the potion touched the wall, it spread out like liquid flame.

Dark red flames surged wildly along the cracks in the bricks, and the surface of the bricks melted at a visible speed, like wax figures being baked by high temperatures.

The hibernating orange cat was not at a safe distance, so the flying sparks hit him all over, making him howl and jump back.

The withered realm people, who had acquired the new weapon and intended to avenge their beloved guild leader, were dumbfounded.

A single potion is more powerful than his most powerful attack.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

As he spoke, he tossed a bottle into the distance.

It shattered upon impact, leaving no sound.

"Sigh, it really is a counterfeit and substandard product, unreliable..."

"Boom~~"

The shockwave from the explosion, carrying flying burning debris, stung everyone's skin and prompted the Little Wind Logistics Department guild to activate emergency alert mode, notifying all online players.

Withered Boundary rubbed his eyes, staring at the collapsed load-bearing wall and the cracked, seemingly about-to-collapse ceiling, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Yes, guild master, where did you get these potions? They're amazing!"

"A gift from your favorite player who bridges the gap between reality and illusion."

Everyone stared blankly at the smug couple.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, they all pulled out their potions: "Let's avenge the guild leader! Explode!"

Nobody believed it; they just thought it was some silly couple using them for a TV show.

Liu Jinhong and Lu Xinxin exchanged a glance and smiled.

These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth.

"Who are you people, and why do you want to..."

The online players from Little Wind's Logistics Department rushed back, and just as they were about to ask what was going on, several bottles of magic potions were smeared on their faces.

He couldn't even finish a sentence before being roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside by the elemental combustion bottle, and then his body was obliterated by the aftershocks of the explosion.

The hibernating orange cat belatedly realized: "That's a player, isn't it?"
