T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 195, Section 194: Potato, you need to work harder!

Jiang Heyi could roughly guess why the prison guard was so eager for the new equipment.

Since his appearance was revealed, his father's opinion of him changed, and his family began to pay close attention to his every move in the game.

Everyone has strange obsessions. For the prison guard, being able to perform well in front of his family is the best thing.

"That's wonderful," Jiang Heyi couldn't help but exclaim.

My only family...

He glanced at the fries instinctively, then quickly looked away.

The title of "Hero Who Fell from the Stars" is far more useful than any imagined boundary between reality and illusion.

Just after leaving the palace, Jiang Heyi ran into the Siren Master who had previously forged equipment for them.

After their earnest introduction, Mao Sui volunteered to upgrade and build the Virtual-Real Boundary Guild.

free.

There is no such thing as the most expensive thing being free. These siren masters, along with their apprentices, provided their own materials to upgrade the infrastructure at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds for free.

In future upgrades and construction, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds can be assisted by the Fallen Star Siren, which is both cost-effective and efficient.

Guild development at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds has long been stagnant, for no other reason than a lack of funds.

Repeatedly conquering the underground temple was extremely costly. If it weren't for Mint's stubbornness in insisting on raising funds on her own, the guild would still be a dilapidated structure with broken tables, chairs, and walls, reeking of mold.

They couldn't bear to see their children living in a pigsty and acting like it didn't matter, so they went to great lengths to clean and renovate, just so everyone could look at it and live comfortably...

As expected, I didn't call her "Mom" wrong.

After discussion, Jiang Heyi chose to upgrade the crystals for Guild Blessing.

The Siren's free upgrade allows you to upgrade facilities to the current version's maximum level in one go.

A level 5 shrine can grant a selectable permanent blessing effect.

Since all guild members are level 20 (the maximum level), the first choice is naturally the [Voice of Blessing] blessing, which has a low probability of increasing the drop rate of basic materials.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will likely be the first guild to fully complete the construction of the Blessing Crystal, since in the early stages players simply cannot allocate a large amount of resources to guild strongholds that only serve a resting purpose.

"What? They're expanding our guild's overall space for free?"

Jiang Heyi was somewhat incredulous upon hearing the siren craftsman's words.

We had agreed before that the free service would only extend to upgrading the Blessing Crystal, so why is it suddenly buy one get one free?
"Ksha said there aren't enough rooms here, so we can't be intimate enough."

"Uh……"

The others who were originally checking the level 20 selectable skill data all turned their heads, and the jailer was trying hard to suppress his laughter.

The fries guy looked completely indifferent, glancing at the jailer as if to say, "Don't always expect to see a show from me."

She won't easily let Kesha's actions cause unnecessary emotional fluctuations now.

Having finally managed to get rid of Ke Xia and with no one clinging to him like that, Jiang Heyi quickly checked the guild panel while he had the chance.

The seabird located in the upper right corner of the panel suddenly let out a series of loud cries.

"As the initiator of world events, the Virtual Reality Boundary Guild will be guaranteed to receive a token of their chosen faction every week."

By engaging in direct combat between world factions and completing corresponding missions, you can obtain "Anna Warrior Certificates" sent by Anna.

The tokens are the currency used in the faction-based combat gameplay. Many items, blueprints, and finished sets can be unlocked with tokens.

You can get a certain percentage of vouchers without doing anything, which is pretty appealing.

Although the boundary between reality and illusion is not required for the set, the list of exchangeable items does contain red materials for crafting the set.

Really fragrant!

I'll be leaving the guild for a while.

"Where are we going?" Fries asked hastily.

"Um...where are the players gathered the most right now?"

"Fragrant Breeze City, trading is very convenient there, and there are many dungeons around," the jailer reminded him. "Did you choose your skills and research them before running around everywhere?"

"Unlike you guys who are still hesitating, I've already made my choice."

Of the two selectable skills available at max level, Jiang Heyi chose [Magic Exchange] and [Temporary Overdraft].

[Magic Exchange]: You can choose to convert existing elemental or magic-type shields into magic power, or convert all magic power into elemental or magic-type shields.

Jiang Heyi's understanding of a magic warrior is that he is omnipotent.

Although being a jack-of-all-trades often means lacking expertise in any particular area and being unremarkable, within the structure of a guild, a role that can always fill in the gaps is especially important.

【Magic Exchange】is a patchwork type that utilizes flexible skills.

The shields cast by other members of the team can be converted into magic for a frenzied offensive when in an advantageous situation, and when in a disadvantageous situation, they can sacrifice all their own magic to distribute the shields evenly, maximizing protection.

Unlike the flexibility of [Magic Exchange], [Temporary Overdraft] is an aggressive skill with inherent side effects.

【Temporary Overdraft】: For a period of time, the magic cast will no longer consume mana. Each time mana is cast, fatigue value will accumulate. When the skill ends, it will directly affect the player's stamina value.

It can be used to overdraw on offensive capabilities, or to overdraw on resources to shield the entire team.

When are you and French Fries getting married?

The jailer suddenly said something surprising, and Jiang Heyi and French Fries immediately blushed.

It started at zero frames, without any warning or preparation.

"Why, why are you suddenly saying such strange things!"

"Isn't it because your logic for choosing skills is exactly the same?" Jailer Bro explained, "One of the skills that French Fries chose at max level is [Mad Gift], which causes the caster to enter a state of exhaustion and gives the entire team [Bloodlust] for 1 minute."

"Your two skill choices are too similar to hers. Both are aggressive while protecting teammates. It's like the last Ripple is considering the teammates."

Jiang Heyi coughed and said, "The understanding of games is generally the same."

"Sigh, we're living together, and he's still so shy," the jailer sighed. "When will I finally get my big red envelope?"

"You should hurry up and finish deciding on your skills," Fries quickly interrupted. "Potato, didn't you want to go out and check on the other players' current situation? Go now, they're all hopelessly indecisive anyway."

Seeing that Beiwo and Zhong Zemo looked eager to join the discussion, Jiang Heyi immediately fled.

Fragrant Breeze City is currently the main city with the largest number of players in the Chinese server.

Similar to the initial city-state of Wind Pod, the plaza that players can instantly reach via teleportation is a key area of ​​activity for players.

A new group concept has emerged in faction wars: the Knights Order.

Players can directly transform their existing guilds into knightly orders for faction wars.

Alternatively, players can remain in their existing guild and establish a new knightly order within the world bubble of faction wars.

This setting is quite friendly to socially awkward players who are usually alone and don't like to get too close to others.

Everyone essentially works together to complete the task, each getting what they need, without needing much interaction.

[Caused by long-term vegetarianism]: "Fallen Star Siren faction, seeking knights who want to fight faction wars to take me in, I will do anything."

【The Super Beast Without Pain】: "I haven't chosen a faction. I'm looking for a group that can participate in faction battles for about 12 hours per round and follow orders."

【I'm Silver, I'm right】: "Looking for a casual faction war knightly order position. I don't like PVP, so it would be best if I could handle the PVE part."

[The Pearl-Tear Divine Stele sits at a table]: "This is a hastily formed knightly order, where everyone takes what they need and will never engage in deep social interaction. Are there any casual members who want to join us?"

It's so lively in Xiangfeng City's square! Chat messages are scrolling by so fast, it's overwhelming!

The most eye-catching reward in faction wars is undoubtedly the set bonus. Choosing the Anna Empire will grant you the [Lion King's Proof] set bonus.

Choosing the Fallen Star Siren means you get the [Rippling One of Rest] set.

All of them are of red quality, and are degraded versions obtained by Jiang Heyi and his companions in the storyline.

You need to collect credentials and complete advanced challenges to upgrade to gold quality.

It was time-consuming and the process was somewhat cumbersome, but it attracted a large number of participants.

Not everyone can be like the boundary between the virtual and the real, piercing through the plot from the snowy mountains to the capital, hitting the mark every time and achieving a win-win ending.

This lengthy storyline has too many discouraging elements, and most casual players, especially those with insufficient strength or experience, are unable to complete it.

These two sets of equipment are essentially the best-in-slot gear in the current game version.

The allure of fighting against each other in the liver faction is too great for them.

"what?"

What was that name that flashed by just now?
【Want to Go to the End of the Stars with You】: "Are there any faction war knight orders recruiting? Both PVE and PVP are welcome, and we will definitely follow orders."

Uh……

Jiang Heyi opened her friends list and saw the ID labeled "French Fries Dad".

What a coincidence! How did I spot him in the rapidly scrolling messages with just a casual glance?

Jiang Heyi followed him, and soon he saw Fries Dad's information again.

"Are there any faction war knight orders recruiting? Although I'm only level 11, my skills are pretty good, and I'm open to being assigned to any time of day."

Having roughly guessed why he added the phrase "his skills are not bad," Jiang Heyi smiled and sent him a private message.

"exist?"

"Wow, Potato, do you have time to chat with me today?"

"What is Xiaofei doing now? Are you guys playing a game? What are you playing?"

French Fries Dad is such a curious little guy. Jiang Heyi only sent one word, and he immediately bombarded him with a series of questions.

"We'll be tackling the ninth floor of the temple in a couple of days. We just finished a long part of the story, so we're finally getting some free time. Everyone's getting used to the new skills."

Actually, taking a half-day break today was Jiang Heyi's idea.

He was very concerned about the dizziness and absent-mindedness he experienced during the day.

"Was the game going well?" he asked.

"It went smoothly."

French Fries Dad replied immediately.

"You probably don't know, but now when players talk about you guys, they all say that Virtual Reality Boundary truly lives up to its T0 reputation, always coming up with all sorts of weird and wonderful things, and this time it has even benefited the Chinese server."

"The red set can be upgraded to gold later. Other servers, based on your guides, have only reached the Fallen Star Court."

The question was about whether things were going smoothly for him, but the French Fries Dad seemed to feel a sense of pride in his response.

He probably thought of French fries, after all, his daughter also contributed to these big news stories.

"So, what are we doing now?"

"Oh, getting ready to participate in the faction war," said Fries Dad. "Hey, you probably don't know, but even though I'm only level 11, I'm in high demand. Quite a few knight orders are vying for me."

While they were chatting, Fries Dad sent another message in the public chat asking for a Knights team.

He added more details.

The Mage is not a very popular class in the Chinese server.

Jiang Heyi can be considered one of the top magic warrior players in the Chinese server, and he is described as a jack-of-all-trades.

In random teams, being a jack-of-all-trades is equivalent to being completely useless; everyone values ​​the outstanding performance in a particular area.

The fact that "French Fries Dad" was disliked is a classic example of occupational discrimination.

Just like when people blindly followed the trend of playing Berserker during guild wars, only to find it completely ineffective and being ridiculed by the community as "playing Berserker to death."

When a player from the Magic Warriors faction drags the team down, other players often bring up the excuse that it's because the player copied the potato.

Jiang Heyi inexplicably became part of the joking phrase.

Some professions are only truly enjoyable when you have a fixed team and friends to play with.

Friends, on the other hand, are the highest level of companionship that most people lack and find difficult to acquire.

Jiang Heyi told French Fries what had happened here, and she also teleported to the square.

Watching her father send group requests again and again, the self-introduction section growing longer and longer until it reached the input limit, she couldn't help but sigh.

"It's like you don't want you to know," Jiang Heyi said. "After all, you said before that you shouldn't be mentioned in the game and that you shouldn't chat with other members of the guild."

French Fries pouted: "Stupid Dad."

The reason for establishing this rule was mainly because Fries was worried that Dad would harass Potato.

Now that I'm dating a potato, these worries are even greater...

She could easily imagine her dad having a urge to give in to his cravings, chatting privately with Potato about all sorts of random topics.

He is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Thankfully, only Dad got a chance to play the game. If Mom had gotten in too…

Just thinking about it makes me sweat.

"Then I'll switch my guild to the Knights Order?" Jiang Heyi asked with a smile.

"Then let's transfer him. Anyway, the Knights Order isn't the same as a guild..." Fries chimed in, "Don't let him embarrass himself outside. Let him join the Knights Order and take advantage of our fixed rewards."

With ample resources, everyone is really lavish in using teleportation.

When faced with Jiang Heyi's invitation, Fries Dad's first reaction was to refuse.

"Sigh, I'm in high demand. I've already received invitations from four or five knight orders, and I'm struggling to decide which one to join."

If Jiang Heyi hadn't seen French Fries Dad humbly searching for partners to face the ever-present PVPVE challenges of faction wars, he might have believed it.

“I asked Fries for you, and she agreed to let you come and get some rewards,” Jiang Heyi said. “However, we probably won’t participate much in faction battles because there’s a basic share of rewards for starting world events, so we can just sit back and collect materials. You might have to play solo.”

"That's great, add me!"

Such a fast change of expression!

"Potato, thank you for putting in a good word for me with the fries." The fries dad said humbly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have thought of this."

This family is truly bizarre the more you think about them; they're among the most eccentric of all.

Just as I was about to explain, another message came from French Fries Dad.

"French fries are a good boy, potato, you'd better work harder."

Uh……

Jiang Heyi felt that he needed to savor this sentence.

Was it his literal interpretation?

　There will be more later, but it might be served as breakfast. Oh well, I got home late today. Oh dear...
