T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 212, Section 211: The Conquest Progress Being Caught Up
The demon was somewhat surprised to learn that its kind existed on the continent of Anna.

It could do nothing to help the dawn redwood in what happened to it.

"No one knows what will happen when two evil spirits come into contact. If they are attracted to each other and lose themselves, it will be a great disaster."

Jiang Heyi also thought it made sense. What if they failed to save the person and Grandma Shuishan went crazy along with the guardian "god" of the Great Snow Mountain?

Putting aside whether players have the ability to quell a hellish difficulty dungeon like the Twin Demons, after completing their storylines and understanding what happened, they still personally pushed them into the abyss...

Back in reality, I feel like slapping myself for thinking about it.

Seeking help from another evil spirit failed, and ultimately, they had to find a solution at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

However, the demons generously provided them with even more help.

It severed its own spirit body, creating complete fragments, which it then handed over to Jiang Heyi.

"I've expended too much energy; this is all I can give right now."

“Come by once in a while, and I’ll give you more, then have that dragon forge the remaining six demonic weapons,” the demon said, “just in case.”

It was really afraid of losing control.

The jailer got into character: "Aren't you afraid that if we take our weapons, we'll turn around and attack you?"

The Snow Mountain Demon looked at Zhong Zemo, a slight smile playing on its lips.

"I feel very reassured with him around."

The Snow Mountain Demon said again, "I am very sensitive to the power that arises from emotions. I smell the same scent in you as he does."

Zhong Zemo scratched his cheek sheepishly: "Actually, I'm a teacher too."

“No wonder.” The demon then looked at the others. “Actually, you all have a similar smell… completely different from Dussel.”

In addition to offering weapon materials to counteract its own weaknesses, the Snow Mountain Demon also revealed its own vulnerabilities.

In a desolate place, it will lose the power to repair itself.

As a demon, it draws power from spirits and intensely fluctuating emotions.

The simplest way to become stronger is to go on a killing spree, which can both acquire spirits and absorb the despair and fear of those on the verge of death.

But after becoming a ghost snow, it no longer does that.

The Ghost Snow only consumes spirits that appear within the Great Snow Mountain and Snow Plains. Except for the most vicious and heinous criminals, it will not easily take action against them.

Under his restraint, intelligent races, monsters, and beasts reappeared in the once lifeless depths of the snowfield.

In the extreme cold unknown to the empire, it became the guardian of the creatures of the snow-capped mountains.

"If you want to kill me completely without losing your companions, driving away the surrounding creatures and slowly weakening me would be the best option."

Jiang Heyi was inspired.

If we want to subdue the evil spirit within Granny Metasequoia, it seems we need to go to a secluded place.

Having played Proof of the Stars for so long, he had long been accustomed to extracting information from the seemingly casual and unrelated dialogues of the characters in the story.

Some of the quest lines in Stellaris are designed in a way that, without the option to re-choose a story key, veteran players of games like The Boundary Between Reality and Illusion would likely offer a single word of criticism.

"manure!"

Each link is crucial; a single wrong word or decision can break a connection.

Take the "Anna Rebellion" storyline as an example.

When Jiang Heyi discovered in the council hall that the sudden death of a nobleman could provide a massive amount of experience points, he looked at the corridor filled with dignitaries, and the load-bearing structure of the corridor was clearly visible...

He believed that every player was itching for more.

It's like the developers knew what the players were thinking and deliberately placed this as a trap.

Once you take action, a win-win outcome is out of the question.

This is still a major decision.

The win-win ending involves numerous small choices; even a single mistake could prevent you from obtaining Kurion's complete personal outfit and all the rewards.

Is this really a game?
Throwing people into another world for a live-action transmigration game couldn't be more impressive.

It makes me want to write some anecdotes about "reminiscing about my childhood".

In other words, they made all the right choices regarding the boundary between the virtual and real worlds; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to imagine how strong the negative feedback could be.

This also made Jiang Heyi feel that the official storyline had a strong "teaching you how to play the game" feel to it.

Thanks to French Fries for suggesting the immersive gaming experience, and also thanks to the excellent feedback from playing the game in the early stages in a conventional manner, which ensured that the boundary between reality and fiction in the storyline was never messed up.

Jiang Heyi and the prison guard, both known for their clever ideas, also suppressed their urge to come up with a "I have a great idea" message.

By making the right reactions along the way, you'll gradually connect the storylines of various characters across the Anna Continent, with surprises at every turn and generous rewards.

It's clear that the developers are encouraging players to follow the rules in terms of the storyline and to let loose in the pure monster-slaying and dungeon-clearing phases.

A buzzing sound rang out as the system neared its shutdown.

Today was a very fruitful day. I officially obtained the [Eye of the Abyss], learned the special skill [Spatial Slash], and also acquired the special item for mental magic, the [Suter Heart Stone].

My plan to get the jailer a set of equipment failed again...

Upon waking up, Jiang Heyi, who was busy in the kitchen, caught a glimpse of the lively group chat.

Jailer: "So, what's our next step? It seems like the demon storyline has been temporarily suspended."

The woman in bed suggested, "Why don't we go find a dragon?"

Orange Tea agreed: "Eleravie? Great, I support it. I want to see what a dragon that can forge looks like."

Having played StarCraft for so long, they still haven't seen the dragon race in the game.

Mint had introduced them to the giant dragon species.

In general, this is a race that, like the siren, is classified as a dominant species and can be said to be the overlord of the magical age.

However, their reproductive capacity is very poor, so they are on the verge of extinction.

The siren saw the dragon's current state and thus launched a massive human-creating self-salvation campaign.

There are roughly three types of dragons now.

One type occurs during normal activities. These dragons possess rationality, clearly understand what they are doing, and are inherently powerful and mentally resilient.

Having long been in contact with various intelligent races, they are very knowledgeable.

Individual differences lead to varying temperaments, but generally speaking, they are not likely to break the rules or commit mass murder.

Secondly, it is in a state of deep sleep.

Because dragons have such long lifespans, in order to avoid mental breakdown from prolonged standby and to preserve their desire for the world's wonders, they choose to enter a state of hibernation.

These dragons generally won't consider you an enemy unless you do something stupid like throwing firecrackers at their sleeping area.

As for the third type, it is the most troublesome mad dragon.

As the name suggests, although they have long lifespans, the spirit of dragons is not immortal.

There are quite a few dragons that have lost their minds for various reasons.

Some continents were nearly wiped out by the rampage of mad dragons.

The only good news is that a sober dragon will take the initiative to clean house.

Historically, there have been numerous battles between dragons, many of which resulted in the deaths of both, further exacerbating the already limited number of dragons remaining.

Jiang Heyi was just about to postpone his attempt to conquer the ninth floor to see what the dragon Eleravi looked like when a message popped up.

Sender: [Ready to Eat]

We only practiced once last night, and we have to continue tonight?

With that in mind, he opened the message.

"The Lost Temple Guild confronts the final boss of the ninth floor."

"Breaking news! The progress at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds has been caught up, and six guilds have entered the ninth level!"

The Black Cat Fortress has finally fallen.

If you calculate carefully, all the players on the server have served as her cat food for nearly half a month, and at this moment, many of them are still delivering food and being speedrun.

On platforms like Little Blue Bird, Little Blue P, and even a certain famous panda-themed site, black cat erotic images have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Even commissioned articles by Liu Bei kept sprouting up from the ground.

Because of the speedrunning feature on Black Cat, many gentlemen have started playing the "inch-stop challenge"...

That's right, this is our StarCraft player – we may lose in the game, but we don't lose outside of it.

Away from games, what you wear is still entirely up to you.
Jiang Heyi never expected that while they were collecting plot rewards to prepare for the ninth floor, the outside world would be filled with such a vibrant scene.

Not only is the game incredibly exciting, but the world outside the game is also full of wonders.

"Do you still want to follow the storyline?" The ready-to-eat meal was a bit impatient. "We're no longer ahead in terms of progress."

At almost the same time, Crimson Music Box also sent some posts from overseas, many of which claimed to be surpassing the boundaries between reality and fiction and replacing it as a top-tier guild.

This is all about saving face. After leading for so long, if we were overtaken, the praise for T0 would probably turn into champagne in an instant.

Jiang Heyi understands everyone's thoughts.

He didn't think that someone entering the ninth level for the first time would be able to please the multifaceted entity; most likely, they would lose all their equipment and become oblivious to everything else.

Having enjoyed the praise of being a T0 guild for so long, the players in the Chinese server have also given it a lot of emotional value.

In return, some reassurance should indeed be given.

"Our equipment is almost fully upgraded. We'll try again tonight."

The other three guilds that qualified for the world championships do not consider themselves inferior to the others in terms of PVP.

However, when it comes to PvE, they only have one word for the boundary between virtual and real.

clothes.

At least in the game Proof of the Stars, there is no team in the Chinese server that can rival it.

Those guilds that tried to extort money all failed.

"A guild has made it to the ninth floor! Guild Leader Potato, you'd better make a move!"

"Don't lose! We absolutely can't lose to those guys!"

Another message popped up, this time from Nong Ya.

Jiang Heyi chuckled and replied, "Among the guilds that have entered the ninth floor, there are members from your French faction. Aren't you going to cheer them on?"

"There are people in that guild who have criticized me."

Now the case is solved.

"Also, I've arrived in Chengning. Do you have any recommendations for tourist attractions?"

"Uh, I don't know either. I suggest you search it online."

Nong Ya was stunned on the other end of the phone.

“You’re a local, how could you not know?”

Jiang Heyi was both amused and exasperated.

It's precisely because I live locally that I don't understand.

He countered with, "Where is your hometown?"

Strasbourg.

"Tell me about an interesting place to go?"

"Uh..." Nong Ya was momentarily stunned.

To be honest, these are all very ordinary sights, not worth recommending at all.

Guess what my first impression of Strasbourg was?

"What is it?"

"It's that time of year again for Bai Xue (a popular Chinese novel/fiction)."
