T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 137, Section 136: We players are the most evil!
The avalanche caused the blankets and orange tea to die instantly.

The Tea Goddess's good fortune did not extend to her this time.

Zhong Zemo sighed: "I told you to get closer to me. If you stand too far back, I won't be able to take care of you."

"Wow, Squid, you're surrounded by people, all sticking to you! Orange Tea and I can't squeeze in!" the blanket complained. "How was I supposed to know the barrier wouldn't hold up against the avalanche and would just shatter..."

While enjoying morning tea, everyone was discussing the plot.

Based on the timeline of the Daxueshan incident, almost half a month has passed since the whole incident, which is ample time for the mastermind behind the scenes to clean up the scene.

There's no reason to keep people around and get rid of those who might discover problems; it seems like an unnecessary step.

The jailer took a bite of a rib and then gnawed on a chicken foot: "If you ask me, we're still too immersed in the game. We should do some of the things that players should do."

"What should players do?" Orange Tea blinked.

"Look, the Star Sand is in that mansion. Is there an option to storm in, kill everyone, and take all the items for yourself?"

The jailer was beaming with excitement, eager to try: "Doing this completely breaks away from the official storyline. We can also see what kind of story unfolds when the stars deal with free players like us."

“Mint would absolutely support you doing this.” Jiang Heyi shrugged, recalling Mint’s mutterings about blowing up Narum’s mansion.

"Right, right? Even Mama Mint wants us to do this. Narum Manor standard job, get started!"

I always felt that if the jailer was a lone wolf, he could wreak havoc on his own world and become a nightmare for the NPCs.

Jiang Heyi seemed to be deep in thought.

Plain Fries glanced at it and said in surprise, "You're actually seriously considering the feasibility?"

“That’s certainly a possibility,” Jiang Heyi reminded him. “This is a story world bubble, and it doesn’t overlap much with the main world bubble. Making different choices will only cause the Great Snow Mountain quest to not proceed as planned.”

“We can go through the story first, and try it out near the end.”

Orange Tea looked left and right, and seeing that the group of experienced gamers all thought it was feasible, she timidly asked.

"Is this what players are supposed to do?"

“Yeah, do you think gamers are all innocent people?” Jiang Heyi said.

They broke into a poor family's home and robbed them, taking their last silver coin.

Point a gun at the convenience store clerk's head and force him to hand over all the money in the cash register; if he was slow, he would be shot dead.

Turn cute alien creatures into canned goods.

They imprisoned an entire planet's life forms to generate electricity, and when they got bored, they simply destroyed the planet.

Connecting the septic tank water to the water circulation system is simply for convenience.

They add ingredients to the drinks they sell that make people thirstier, encouraging tourists to make repeat purchases.

My daughter's daughter is still my daughter.

Their misdeeds are numerous and too many to recount.

Jiang Heyi wasn't exactly a conventional player, but their early-game equipment didn't allow them to play unconventionally. The clearing process of the Underground Temple of the Clarity dungeon was relatively linear, and they didn't dare to use too many tricks in order to reliably obtain rewards.

The Shrieker's Great Snow Mountain quest is different.

The people at the boundary between the real and the virtual are here to make money and prepare for breaking through the Temple of the Clarity.

He wanted to claim the mission rewards, and he also planned to "borrow" some of the rewards outside of the missions.

After a satisfying meal, the tour of Guangzhou resumes.

However, after seeing the locations that everyone voted to go to, the jailer was quite helpless.

Canton Tower, military academy, Nanyue Museum...

What's so interesting about visiting these places?

It's a wonder my dad used to be so talkative when showing people around.

When he takes people sightseeing, he can only manage to utter one sentence after a long time: "landmark building," "very old-fashioned," "rich in historical atmosphere."

My dad is really amazing.

Is it possible that what I'm best at is...?

"Come on, let's order first."

Back in the private room, in his familiar territory, the jailer was all talk and no action.

With a packed schedule, no one really used their phones all day. But while waiting for dinner, everyone caught up on their information.

"Ha, the Slime King is in trouble~~"

A picture appeared in the group.

The black cat's long, thin tail bound King Slime tightly, making his round body look like an "8".

Combined with the smug grin on the black cat's face and the Slime King's furious expression, it's quite a sight—if the Slime King saw this, he'd probably be killed, right?

As expected, the stunning performance of the eighth floor brought Black Cat unprecedented popularity.

Before this, no game had ever played like this. The absurd effect of the "boundary between reality and illusion" reshaped players' understanding of game mechanics.

Many players have encountered their own "prison guard brother".

Having finally broken free from the black cat's restraints, before he could even wake his teammates, "Jailer Bro," who was deep in a dream, killed him.

Some extraordinary beings even bestowed upon the black cat a full set of blessings, allowing it to easily complete the massacre without using mental magic.

Within two days, fan-made character illustrations of Black Cat were everywhere.

The arrogant black cat controls the player to live happily ever after with her in their dreams.

The reluctant black cat used its tail to tie up the player.

Repeatedly hypnotizing the already asleep player into only liking me. Then, bringing the Slime King along, demanding the player choose between two options...

The players' imaginations are so vivid that even the dream-woven scripts written by the black cat seem empty and pale.

Whenever Black Cat uses the players' imaginations, the difficulty of solving the dream will increase exponentially.

After the simplified walkthrough was released at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, she appeared in the same frame as the slime much more frequently, and even SeSe started appearing with a partner...

There's an urgent need for a feature to import custom emoticons into the game. Sending these when trying to defeat the Black Cat should effectively break down the opponent's mental attacks.

Zhong Zemo handed his phone to the jailer: "You're in luck. Some players on the internet have discovered a very hidden underground tomb dungeon south of Xiangfeng City, which produces necromancy, as well as materials and items related to black magic."

Jiang Heyi also saw this.

As players gradually leave the beginner area, many hidden dungeons have been discovered, but their difficulty and rewards are not yet comparable to those of the Clarity Dungeon.

Looking at the sharing records on the external website, the drop rate of the [Sage's Memory] for necromancer classes is not bad. If you still can't beat the ninth floor after returning from the Great Snow Mountain, you can consider earning some extra money to help strengthen the jailer.

"Ok?"

The user, "Original Flavor Fries," scrolled through the screen in confusion while admiring the crypt sharing post.

"What's going on? There are so many trending posts about squid in the French community?"

Everyone's attention was on the shared post, and upon hearing this, they all jumped to the homepage.

You wouldn't believe it until you look; there are four popular posts about Zhong Zemo in the trending chat section.

If you click on any one of them, you'll see a crying big-headed emoji.

"Look at our poor Shield Bro, an excellent high school teacher, 25 years old, what a wonderful and admirable person he is."

“I can’t believe that his wife argued with him about getting a divorce just because he played games when he went to sleep, and that she actually succeeded.”

"That damn marriage ruined everything for him."

Poster ID: noneya
She did help debunk the rumors, but this post specifically introducing squid has garnered more attention than the previous debunking posts.

A glance at the comments below revealed that, without exception, all replies expressed deep resentment.

"He works so hard and is so outstanding, yet he has to feed a bloodsucking leech. I can't accept that."

"I need to know this guy's way of giving rewards. It's unbelievable that I'm getting to know him better this way. His shield parry during the guild war was an art form that impressed me. But when it comes to real life, he still couldn't defend against it."

After browsing several external server communities, the discussion surrounding Moyu remains high.

Jiang Heyi knew that French fries and squid were popular on foreign websites, but he really didn't expect them to be this popular.

[Ready to eat straight from the can]: "You didn't know that?"

"Know what?" Jiang Heyi asked curiously.

【Crimson Music Box】: "It seems you really don't know anything about this, so you don't understand why Squid has suddenly become so popular on foreign websites."

Plain fries suddenly realized: "A divorce decree?"

Foreign courts have seen many outrageous cases in divorce cases, where men are not only ordered to leave with nothing but also to continue supporting their ex-wives.

Even if you're middle class, you can be turned into a homeless person with a single blow.

Many people are burdened with debt after divorce and find it difficult to recover.

Therefore, after learning about Zhong Zemo's divorce, in the eyes of foreign netizens, he was already a tragic figure who had suffered the most.

Considering that the revenue from the Proof of Stars World Championship will be distributed to the players in the form of a share, the money he works hard to earn in the competition may be taken away by a large amount, or even not a single penny may be left in his pocket.

Just imagining it made them anxious and angry, so it's no wonder that public opinion exploded with sympathy for the squid.

Jiang Heyi finally understood why Nong Ya said "It's really pitiful"; the difference in perception was the root of the problem.

The discussion in the Chinese server was quite intense, but it mainly revolved around why Moyu's wife forbade him from playing a game that only started after he fell asleep.

When Cuttlefish found out, he was both amused and exasperated.

Can getting divorced really garner this much attention?
Just as all the dishes were served, Zhong Zemo received a text message on his phone.

Seeing the affectionate nickname he hadn't had time to change, he swiped to take a look, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"who?"

“I’m old… Du Jingwen.” Zhong Zemo quickly changed his address.

The atmosphere in the private room was a bit strange, and no one started eating.

"Why haven't you deleted me as a friend yet?" the jailer asked tentatively.

"If I delete her, how will I know if she's doing well without me?"

"You want things to be good for her?"

“When she was my wife, that’s what I hoped for. Now, to be honest, I want to see her suffer,” Zhong Zemo admitted. “That’s why I left my contact information.”

"So, what did she say?" Plain Fries entered high-efficiency analysis mode, his eyes sharp.

"They asked me if I spent the whole holiday staying at home playing Proof of the Stars, which wasn't allowed to be played before."

Original Fries confidently stated, "I guess she saw the news. Although the information was insufficient, the similarity was too high, so she decided to test the waters."

The jailer whistled: "The fun's about to begin~~~~"

Zhong Zemo gave a perfunctory reply and then ignored the other party.

With a few days left until October 8th, he was very curious about Du Jingwen's expression at that time.

　Chapter says "Much more, much more," there will still be two updates tomorrow.
