The jailer had clearly not forgotten about this, as he was carrying a large bag of fruit.

After putting the things down, he asked the person rummaging through the fruit bags, "Where's the squid?"

"Playing online with potatoes."

In Jiang Heyi's bedroom, the game controllers were clicking away. The two guys, who were bad at fighting games but addicted to them, couldn't memorize the move lists, so they resorted to the most primitive and savage way of fighting—randomly swiping their fingers.

Without any rules or methods, no one knows what skills will emerge.

French Fries sat to the side, resting his chin on his hand, watching with great interest as the two of them excitedly moved around like children, controlling their characters.

The four prototypes stared intently at the screen—the rule was that whoever lost would be eliminated, and he was ready to be replaced at any time.

I'll buy any new game that blurs the lines between reality and virtuality to try it out.

Sometimes, even after a well-known gaming YouTuber has made a video predicting it might be a terrible production, Jiang Heyi, adhering to the truth that one has no right to speak without trying it, will still buy some to give it a go.

In the boundary between the real and the virtual, there are quite a few Red Stone Kings like this. To use a phrase from the bed, they are like someone who knows there is shit on the mountain but still goes towards it.

This fighting game was no exception. Jiang Heyi was not good at fighting games, but his desire to try something new was burning, so he bought it without hesitation.

Thinking that I had never played this game with French fries before, I happily invited her over to play together.

Then French fries were banned by themselves.

Unlike Jiang Heyi, who struggled with the game, French Fries picked it up quickly. After practicing for a while, he had a pretty good grasp of the moves and routines.

Jiang Heyi, who was still wildly fiddling with the controls, felt as if the controller of the French fry had been summoned by a god, and would often assist her in a combo that forced her into a corner of the screen to bully her.

"Practice a bit more before you fight me, I won't bully you anymore~~~"

So after asking around, everyone gathered together to participate in the event, a chaotic scene of novices pecking at each other.

The prison guard, who had originally wanted to say something, immediately sat down when he saw the fight was getting intense and asked what the rules were, who was next, and when it would be his turn.

The Primordial One chuckled and said, "Now that you ask, I feel like I'm back in the old arcades."

A group of children pooled their money to play video games for an hour in the owner's shop, which can be considered the earliest game enlightenment of the four original entities.

Nowadays, if this topic is mentioned, many young people probably wouldn't be able to conjure up any images of it.

"There's no one else here, so let's talk about blind dates?" French Fries suddenly blurted out, "Just curious."

The conversation started at just the right time, and Jiang Heyi's idiotic banter with Mo Yu came to an end, causing everyone in the room to turn and look at him.

The person who makes the topic of blind dates awkward isn't here either.

After hesitating for a moment, the prison guard's anticipation for playing games disappeared from his face, and his expression became somewhat gloomy.

"What's wrong? You look so worried." Jiang Heyi got up, closed the door, and locked it.

The Tetraprimal was puzzled: "How can we be bullied like this? That doesn't make sense."

The prison guard stopped everyone from speculating and told them about something that had just happened.

Since they started dating, he and Hu Qian have been taking turns treating each other to meals.

This way, he could quickly determine the preferences of the two people based on their tastes, and he appreciated the detail of taking turns paying.

This time, Hu Qian made an appointment at the restaurant where the prison guard's father often treated people.

The jailer's words abruptly stopped.

Inside the room, Jiang Heyi and the other two looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"Finished?"

The jailer paused for a moment, then continued, "Have you heard of this old-fashioned light novel called 'The Sword of Léana'?"

"Never heard of it." The Four Primal Bodies borrowed Jiang Heyi's computer and opened a search.

Typing these five characters only brings up keyword suggestions; you can't even find a complete match in the search results.

Cuttlefish stepped forward: "Make good use of various search software. If the Chinese server doesn't work, try the foreign server... uh, there isn't one there either."

The jailer said, "You can't find it, right? No normal person should be able to find it. Because the light novel 'The Sword of Rhea' has just been serialized on foreign servers, and it's being serialized on web pages. There's no normal channel for translation, so the enthusiastic translation groups probably won't even notice this seedling that's only a few tens of thousands of words long."

"These kinds of novels are like the online novels we have here. Few new authors who haven't even finished a volume can stand out."

French Fries sat up straight: "What's the point?"

"I only mentioned my recent reading list briefly in a private chat group of 500 people, and included such an inconspicuous novel title."

"I only recommended this book because some Chinese players in the group were looking for something to read, as a supplement for omnivores."

The jailer leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling.

"When we were having dinner today, we were talking about the novels we've been reading recently, and two of the titles she mentioned overlapped with my reading list."

"One is a somewhat well-known domestic online novel, and the other is the Sword of Leana, which is likely to be drowned in the vast sea of ​​books."

"This is a pure travelogue. I have the built-in translation of Proof of the Stars, so I can read it without any problems. How did she manage to read it? I'm sure her foreign language skills are limited to English."

At this point, everyone understands.

The compatibility of their personalities and shared interests has always given the prison guard a sense of joy, as if he had found someone who resonates with him.

They didn't know the specific details of their private interactions, but whether it was Hu Qian's personal charm or the interference from the prison guard, he didn't take these subtle inconsistencies to heart, only thinking that he was too abnormal, which caused the incompatibility.

But this time, the jailer got stabbed.

Once or twice is a coincidence, and three or four times can also be a coincidence.

What about this time?

Many light novels are known for offering illustrations as a bonus with the purchase of toilet paper, but most of the toilet paper available to the public is already among the best.

Most online serials are no different from domestic online novels; they are serialized hastily and ended hastily, dying out after only a short time.

A well-written travelogue can be a perfect record of sights and sounds in another world, attracting a steady stream of readers.

If you don't write it well, it'll just be a rambling mess, and you'll be doomed in no time.

Over the years, the jailer has seen far more mundane accounts than the former, and he believes that readers on overseas servers have as many.

The jailer didn't think so. Hu Qian was just as bored as him. Looking at the cover drawn by the author himself, she was interested in the close-up shot of the jailer, so she clicked to take a look and found...

Holy crap, this is really well written.

Even if there are no jailers, I can stay and take a look.

Oh?

The author actually had other ways to contact him and found a way to tip him. He tipped him a little money to support him, afraid that the eunuch would starve to death.

The jailer shrugged: "Do you think I'm overthinking it, or..."

“We’ll do a background check for you,” Jiang Heyi and French Fries said in unison. “We’ll have the results tomorrow, very soon.”

Rehabilitation 5K successful! Only 5K away from 10K!

Chapter 526 Dark History

The integration assistance at the virtual-real boundary is becoming increasingly smooth.

Without the biggest source of pressure, Windweaver, the Tower World is no longer a prison of life-or-death speed, and everyone can be a little more playful during the game.

For example, Squid bought a green-quality lance from an NPC.

He had wanted to try the combination of lance and shield for a long time, to cosplay a square formation by himself.

Whether it causes harm or not is irrelevant; when you transform into a ruthless shield, you can act hyperactively and stab people a couple of times to annoy them, which is more interactive than just standing there and taking hits.

Previously, the recipients of aid at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds were only selected from guilds that had a chance of making it onto the leaderboard.

With the threat of wind gone, the area expanded somewhat.

Among those receiving assistance that night was a long-lost acquaintance.

Bottled water.

The community's only unlucky one during the preliminary rounds.

When vying for the last spot, a mistake in the operation caused me to miss out on the dividends.

Subsequently, the top circle gradually established in the Chinese server, centered around the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, became a symbol of top-tier traffic and a testament to the star power of the Chinese server.

Both inside and outside the game, everyone has achieved a qualitative leap thanks to this opportunity.

Afterwards, when people talked about the results of the preliminary round more than half a year ago, they would always jokingly say that the people of Bottled Water God Luo had lost their ticket to becoming winners in life.

The original bottled water company, Luo, has disbanded. What you can see in the community now is the second unit, which was reorganized by the original chairman, Haixing Canned Food.

The starfish canned food was quite at ease, no longer clinging to what it had lost.

He joked that his status as a loser actually brought a lot of attention to the rebuilding of Bottled Water God Luo, and even the guild account got some traffic.

While not on par with the top 4 in the Chinese server, they are still among the best in the second tier, so there's nothing to complain about.

Everyone admires this open-mindedness regarding the boundary between reality and illusion.

Ask yourself honestly, how many people missed such an opportunity, only to be able to forgive themselves for it in the dead of night for the rest of their lives?

With this mindset, it's no wonder that Starfish Canned Food was able to quickly gather a group of players who believed in him and rebuild the guild.

The number of layers separating the virtual and real worlds has reached a terrifying 52.

The second-ranked sect remains Fuxian Sect, which struggled to break through 30 levels before stopping once again.

Behind them, the top 4 Chinese players entered the top 20 of the list, and Khorne's Chosen even reached level 29, ranking 3rd, closely following behind.

At this stage of the game, most players on both domestic and international servers understand that the current competition in the Tower of Trials world is simply about becoming the first person to succeed at the boundary between the virtual and the real.

Guild Outpost Mining → Guild NPC Scoring → Custom Floor → Assistance → Guild NPC Scoring

A complete cycle allows the integral at the virtual and real boundaries to achieve a balance between income and expenditure.

Renee's arrival even filled the biggest gap in their game – scarce information.

Living in a renowned magical family in Anna, the information channels she had access to were beyond Mint's imagination.

The virtual and real border region racked its brains trying to increase the production of pack animals, which was lacking in the stronghold's ore output. The guild's wandering merchants went to great lengths, using Star Sand, the hardest currency in the game, to pave the way, but they still couldn't find anyone willing to sell.

There are currently only 10 pack animals at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, and the process of acquiring them has been quite tortuous.

Upon hearing this, Renee simply asked them to give her the Star Sand.

So, when we logged in two days later, there were 7 more pack animals in the guild.

The wandering merchants were stunned and hurriedly asked Renee how she had done it.

She just pursed her lips, looking mysterious.

The current boundary between the virtual and real worlds is such that even without challenging new floor dungeons, one can play until the end of the Tower World simply by relying on the established loop.

They suddenly realized that the design of Tower World was intended to encourage players to destroy each other's strongholds.

Once the positive cycle of a stronghold is established, the benefits are enormous, allowing many guilds to earn money passively.

If they want to catch up, the lagging guilds need to work together to drag the leading guilds down with them.

Thinking about it this way, the storyline of Saint Helena being ganged up on is actually the one that best fits the original concept of the Tower World.

No one wanted to risk trouble, and the stronghold remained a peaceful boundary between the virtual and real worlds, making it an anomaly in the Tower World.

According to the rules of Tower World, guilds that have already received dividends will be ranked higher, and the "dividends" in the final reward will not be accumulated; instead, this benefit will be carried over to the next guild.

Therefore, the fact that all four of the top 4 guilds in the Chinese server made the list actually put some pressure on the guilds that had a chance to compete.

What could be better than a top-tier guild that doesn't cause trouble or sabotage, allowing players to enjoy the game peacefully and in a supportive environment?

Saint Helena's cyber battle was a huge success, and they certainly don't want to fight a cyber war on their side.

The longer Chinese players play, the more they feel that after half a year since the server opened, without any major news or arrogant individuals, the top 4 players are probably already incredibly rare and exceptional.

At this moment, the divine being had already awakened.

After switching shifts with Mint and others, it was their turn to enjoy the game, and the boundary between the virtual and real worlds returned to enjoy real life.

Around noon, Chen Shaoyu sent a message.

"These are for the snow water fried noodles, please accept them."

"There are some more details. He had someone from the local area deliver paper documents to your door. You should be able to see them soon."

Such a meticulous work style.
