T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 160, Page 159: Potatoes Turn into Tomatoes

No one can understand the thought process of Giza and the others. What made them have the illusion that they wouldn't be punished by the siren if they made the deed into a fait accompli?
The audacity of an utterly foolish person?
The tacit approval and indulgence of the Anna royal family?

A deliberate test of the bottom line?
No need for further thought; the Fallen Star Siren is determined to be the last one.

For a long time, the image of sirens, including those from fallen stars and other regions, has been associated with keywords such as cheerful and good-tempered.

With just a few cheap dried fish, they could happily follow the white waves churned up by ocean-going ships all the way.

Ships wrecked in storms always receive their assistance.

They are peaceful and uncontested, and their natural enemies are the sea monsters, who are plagued by magical tides and reproductive crises. They are very friendly to land-dwelling species.

Perhaps it was because the sirens were so good-natured that the people of the Anar Empire gradually forgot that the sirens were the dominant species they had identified.

It is a marine overlord, on par with dragons, and favored by the world.

As Mint excitedly followed Queen Mirror into the Fallen Star Library, the Fallen Star Sirens rose to the surface.

The ocean-going merchant ships that had sailed past the royal court's territory were met with the first round of warnings to clear the nearshore waters, leaving them bewildered.

The high priest of the sea serpent informed the lords of the coastal city-states of the ban on sea travel through pre-established communication channels.

The siren's messenger arrived at Lord Gunnar's manor immediately, informing him of the approaching storm.

"This is a case of 'courtesy first, then force'."

The entire group from the boundary between the real and the virtual followed the high priest of the sea siren to the surface, witnessing this dramatic change.

Kesha remained by her side throughout, and she was allowed not to participate in the landing process.

This also reflects Queen Jingxin's care for her and the boundary between reality and illusion.

Jiang Heyi couldn't help but sigh, even at this moment, the Fallen Star Siren was still strictly adhering to its own principles.

"Although it will cause panic among coastal terrestrial species and affect their livelihoods, we need to make the Empire understand our anger," Ksha said.

Those who understand the boundaries between reality and illusion are all adults and can comprehend the helplessness in Kshatriya's words.

The siren is just good-tempered, not without a temper.

The Empire seemed to habitually mistake the sirens' politeness and forbearance for weakness, constantly testing their limits.

Enveloped in bubbles, eight scheming noble offspring floated out of the sea and hung high in the air.

Like the banner of a siren, they sailed through the waves, approaching Gunnar.

The Gunnar sailors and fishermen, who were rushing to secure the boat and brace themselves for the wind and waves, witnessed this scene.

They remained bewildered after receiving the lord's notification, not understanding what had happened.

A magician inside a lighthouse along the harbor urgently reports to the lord's mansion that nearly 500 sirens are approaching the harbor.

"Don't resist, back down..." Lord Gunnar was grinding his teeth to powder. "This mess has nothing to do with us!"

Only a madman would dare to confront a siren head-on!

Those who have never witnessed the power of the sirens can never understand how these carefree and silly creatures could become the undisputed overlords of the vast ocean.

The anger rising from the sea coalesced into a physical form, and the powerful water element swirled and reversed, tilting towards the sky.

The sky changed color, and dark clouds gathered.

The azure sea turned as black as ink, the roaring sea wind stirred the ocean, and salty rain fell from the sky.

In the wind and rain, ancient and desolate ballads pierced through the sounds of the wind and rain, seeping into everyone's ears.

Sirens resonate with magic through their songs.

Lament, gentle murmur, helplessness, and indignation—the rolling waves of the sea resonate rhythmically, all blossoming in this moment.

In the pouring rain, the sirens came ashore.

The chief mage of Gunnar Tower watched the approaching rain curtain, sighed, and turned to leave.

Rain locks Gunnar.

Following Kesha, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds recorded firsthand information.

Witnessing the world change color due to the power of the sea monster's words, and appreciating the epic scene up close, was truly breathtaking.

"Isn't there a direct channel of communication between the Anna royal family and the royal court?" Orange Tea asked.

Kesha shook his head: "No, we do not establish contact with the direct rulers of the terrestrial species, as this could lead us to become overly involved in their political activities."

The Primal touched its chin and pondered, "You have already closed the channels of communication with the city-states along the southeast coast, so... we can only communicate via message in a bottle?"

A message in a bottle made everyone stifle their laughter.

Kesha smiled and explained, "The royal family will send envoys. We value sincerity more than superficial exchanges during correspondence."

Her tail tip tickled Jiang Heyi's cheek: "Didn't Potato want to solve the mystery of the skull left by the demon? The teacher also said that the answer lies in the mage tower in the capital of Anna. This time, you can go with the flow."

The woman in bed wondered, "Go with the flow?"

“If we want to show sincerity, both sides must sit down and talk; a meeting is a must,” Kshatriya guessed. “We will not punish these nobles on our own; we will leave it to Anna and see how they handle it.”

Jiang Heyi asked in surprise, "Are we going to the capital?"

Ksha said, "As a fellow human, the discoverer of this event, and the one who witnessed everything, would you like to join us?"

This is the invitation to the next mission.

Of course I'm going! How could I not go?
The Demon questline will most likely reward you with some strange but useful items, and maybe even a necromancer set blueprint for the jailer.

Jiang Heyi suddenly asked, "Will you also be visiting the capital?"

Kesha's eyes widened suddenly, and its mouth opened slightly. Without hesitation, its tail wrapped around Jiang Heyi's waist, pressing him close to itself so it could rub against his face. "You don't want to leave me, right? Right?" Kesha's tone was sweet enough to smell honey. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you."

No...

Kesha's passionate and dazzling offensive made everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds feel like they were watching a romantic comedy anime up close.

She's so sweet that everyone watching the show can't help but dream of a sweet romance.

The jailer's private message notification went off. The chubby seabird, carrying the message in its beak, proudly raised its neck, as if to say, "I'm pretty awesome, aren't I?"

This lifelike little messenger has always been described by players as one of the most interesting designs in the game.

"You guys at the virtual-real boundary have been so quiet these past few days, not even popping up in the group chat when you're online. What have you been up to?"

As a member of the strategy team, Crimson Music Box was very curious about the movements of the T0 guild.

In fact, during the period when the progress of the temple was suspended at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds and the war shifted to the royal court, the progress of all servers tended to come to a standstill.

As expected, Black Cat Card made all the players who aspired to become "Witness of the Stars" ecstatic.

Black Cat's dream world, designed for different types of players, has become a nightmare for many teams.

A jailer appeared in the team; he gritted his teeth and could take the hits.

Two prison guards appeared, rendering the footage useless; their hands were now raised high enough to give a French military salute.

While the detailed strategy guide for the boundary between reality and illusion is excellent, not everyone can copy it.

So far, the guild that is most advanced has only entered the stage of cooperating with the Slime King. There is still a thrilling battle ahead before the Black Cat can be completely defeated.

Chinese players are curious, and so are players on foreign servers. They've temporarily put their progress on hold. Where has the boundary between the real and virtual worlds, which they've already completed in the Great Snow Mountain questline, gone, and what are they doing?

The jailer glanced at Jiang Heyi, who was massaging Kesha's tail.

"Having a sweet romance with a siren."

"Jailer, your sense of humor is as good as ever," the Crimson Music Box praised. "So, after the Great Snow Mountain, did you open a new map and go to the seabed?"

Was it mistaken for a sense of humor...? Oh well, I'll have French Fries cut out some dog food clips for everyone to try tomorrow.

The jailer thoughtfully informed everyone in the group about the wonderful uses of Star Sand in the Siren's Court.

Everyone was quite excited to learn that there were gold-quality sets available for purchase, except for the Chosen of Khorne - Mana Regeneration, which had no effect on them.

"When do you plan to resume conquering the underground temple?" asked the canned food expert.

"About 14 days into the game, we'll be forging new equipment, and we won't be going back to suffer for a while."

When facing the bizarre puppets and polyhedrons on the ninth floor, the main damage dealers still felt a bit uneasy because they didn't have two excellent weapons to summon.

The sense of crisis of being overtaken in progress must be temporarily ignored. During this period, it is of utmost importance to follow all explicit and implicit instructions to complete tasks and accumulate materials and equipment.

Moreover, the boundary between the virtual and the real is now very confident.

Even they were beaten senseless and had their equipment destroyed on the ninth floor, so the other guilds would only be in a worse state.

After the jailer introduced the latest situation of the guild, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.

He asked everyone, "Have any of you ever had close interactions with game characters?"

Khorne immediately understood the meaning of "a moment of carelessness can ruin a lifetime".

"The way the prison guard said it makes this interaction quite intriguing."

A colleague from the same union, who also had an opinion, chimed in, "So, how close are they?"

"Sticking to each other, kissing each other."

"They'll probably get arrested by the Judgment Knights," Scarlet Music Box exclaimed in surprise. "Only in the first few days after the server launch would someone be so curious as to dare to do something like this."

"Oh, so it seems you guys don't know this. If we volunteer, we'll be arrested by the Judgment Knights and warned by the system, but if the other party volunteers, nothing will happen." The jailer chuckled.

"Is the other party taking the initiative... but the character doesn't show the progress of affection like in other games. If you don't control it well, you'll end up in cyber prison."

The jailer couldn't stand it anymore.

"If the other person takes the initiative, why would you need a progress bar for building affection?"

"Hiss~~~ Jailer, how did you know this?" The other members of the strategy team popped up one after another.

Having frequented online communities both at home and abroad, they were convinced this was a new discovery.

"Speak up, jailer."

"Hey, are you there?"

"Brother jailer, explain yourself clearly. How did you find out?"

"Don't leave your words halfway through! Wow, there's a eunuch here!"

The jailer stared at Jiang Heyi, who was being kissed by Kexia and forced to let her kiss his cheek, and stopped replying to the question marks that kept popping up in the group.

Oh dear, it turns out they unintentionally achieved another feat: becoming number one in the entire game.

"Potato, your face is as red as a tomato."

He clapped and cheered enthusiastically, enjoying the spectacle, which led everyone at the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion to follow suit, making Jiang Heyi blush even more.

However, in a corner that no one notices, there is someone who is also very famous.

　Moto, moto, there will be breakfast tomorrow.
