T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 271 French Fries: Yes, it's a gift

The night's commotion has come to an end.

Following Chen Shaoyu, Enamel Cup entered the Temple of the Clarity. He paced silently before the once magnificent, now scarred and nearly collapsed hall.

While the players were still watching the game and enjoying the crazy and erotic quotes that kept popping up in the chat, his heart was also rising and falling with the young people.

The grand performance has come to an end, the theater is deserted, and a trace of sadness creeps onto the enamel mug's face. Looking at the evening dew in the distance, it feels even more melancholy.

"You are right, and I am right too."

"If we had to do it all over again, you and I would make the same choice."

"We all have no choice."

"Ugh……"

Chen Shaoyu then realized that Xi Lu's words seemed to have touched some deep memories in the enamel mug.

He stood silently before the crumbling hall, his eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

The emotion lingering around him wasn't depression, but rather a sense of reminiscence and remembrance.

Chen Shaoyu was getting anxious; he really wanted to log off.

The candlelight had been gone for three whole days, and the aura hidden in the pendant was gradually weakening, along with the unstable power it had been imbued with.

Fortunately, the enamel mug didn't linger for long. After leaving the game, he immediately checked the office.

Good news, the candle's body is still functioning normally.

The bad news is that things are still falling apart.

She hasn't come back yet.

Once out of the game, the sensations became more pronounced; the lingering candlelight on the pendant was even fainter than the day before, almost imperceptible.

Chen Shaoyu was sweating profusely.

"Internet connections have delays, trains are always late, and when a candle flame says two days, it may not mean two days in the literal sense."

That was the only way he could comfort himself for the time being.

……

……

Jiang Heyi felt very dizzy, and the groggy discomfort lingered for a while after she got up.

Similar incidents have occurred before, and Chen Shaoyu said it was caused by experiencing too much content in the game at once.

But hasn't it already been resolved?

French Fries didn't look too good either; she covered her head, yawned, and staggered out of the room.

"If you go to school today, you'll most likely be surrounded by onlookers."

French fries are being chugped into mouthfuls of ice-cold milk.

Upon hearing this, she licked her lips, handed the milk to Jiang Heyi, and gestured that he should have some too.

"why?"

"I don't need to open any software to guess what players are discussing right now."

So much happened last night.

The boundary between reality and illusion declared war on the burning dragon knight and the whale in the basin, both belonging to the top streamer.

The Burning Dragon Knight guild was dismantled, gold coins were randomly dropped, and the entire inventory was looted.

Enable spectator access.

Break into the 11th floor of the Temple of the Clarity and conquer the 11th floor.

Be aware of the existence of world consciousness.

My first encounter with Yuru.

Acquire guild stronghold.

A long time ago, a player posted in the community that the gameplay of Proof of the Stars made him feel like he had a double life.

The only thing that made him feel slightly uneasy was that he gradually felt that real time was passing very slowly.

Having experienced so much in the game, the dazed feeling of returning to reality after only a day or two lingers.

Jiang Heyi felt the same way.

Putting everything else aside, his relationship with French fries has rapidly heated up because of the Stars.

It's hard to say whether it was Kishia's stimulation or French Fries switching forms and entering a frenzied output mode, but these days spent with her...

Hey!

Just thinking about it makes my lips curl into a smile.

Mei Mei enjoyed Jiang Heyi's tomato beef and egg noodles, but French Fries didn't go to school as usual.

"I have no major courses, so I'm on leave."

After living together for a long time, Jiang Heyi finally heard from French fries that college students must taste this essential part of the experience.

"The temple raid is over, what's next?" Fries muttered.

“That’s too many,” Jiang Heyi said.

I haven't learned about the operation of the guild base yet.

The Sunrain Squad is still lingering inside the temple; there might be more to come.

The 6th and 7th mining areas, which have never been explored before, deserve a little introduction.

Trying out the Black Cat's Spiritual World instance is also an option.

Besides, there might be more to see in the story of the Fallen Star Siren's Court.

Mint's advanced studies at the Grand Library are nearing their end; it's time for her and Renee to settle their score.

The dragon Elera is the best candidate to forge the Origin Set, and it's time to find her and have a chat.

There are so many things I can do. Before, I had to do them in between because of the temple raid, but now I can focus on completing them.

In their spare time, whether it's training to prepare for the World Championship or guild members heading to the World Faction Battlefield to hunt down dragon knights and whales, it's all excellent.

There are quite a few things that can be done and fun.

As expected, the community was in an uproar.

Any player of the Stars of Proof game will inevitably encounter the topic of the boundary between reality and illusion.

Those who enjoy gossip have discovered a juicy story about a veteran UP with millions of followers in the "virtual vs. real" gaming section, a story that will keep them entertained for a long time.

Pure gamers are discussing the difficulty of level 11 of the Temple of the Clarity.

Those who enjoy watching the plot are satisfied and are starting to share their thoughts.

In just one night, hot topics and issues at the boundary between the virtual and the real world have sprung up everywhere.

The groundbreaking news of the first breakthrough to the underground temple of the Clarity has become a hot topic in the overseas community of the Stars of Proof, despite the time difference.

The spectators are patting their respective classes on the back.

"Berserker, you have the worst reputation, here's a serving of fries."

"Magic Warrior, you're the biggest slacker, here's the potato."

"Necromancer, you have no record of this person. Jailer, keep this safe."

"Shadowman, you tell the best story. I'm taking you to bed."

Interestingly, of the seven people in the virtual-real boundary, apart from the four original bodies, orange tea, and Zhong Zemo, the other four are all professions that have generated a lot of buzz.

The average person is a holder of a professional bible.

Berserker has the ability to monitor the blood pressure levels of random teammates.

Without careful observation, you wouldn't know when he died, why he died, or where he died.

Representing the Bible—how will I know his skill can kill me if I don't try it?
A magic warrior, possessor of the non-stick pan ability.

"I really was outputting output; if you don't believe me, watch the video."

"You all died after the team fight, but I'm still alive. My survivability is maxed out, so why are you saying it's my fault?"

"Why aren't you giving me a shield? I'm dealing damage, why should I get a shield for dealing damage?"

When you ask the Magic Warrior to deal damage, it says it's in a support role.

When asked for assistance, it emphasized that survival must be ensured first.

When survival becomes an issue, it will discuss with you the contribution percentage of damage output and support before death.

It's designed for single-core processing; if you think about anything else, your brain will immediately shut down.

Because of this biblical quote, the Magic Warrior was given the name "Starry Night Non-stick Pan".

Necromancer.

"Yes, we have dark minds."

Due to the small player base, there's no discrimination in team play, but the classic internet meme "Necromancer and teammates" has negatively impacted its reputation. It's unclear whether the Chinese server players who like to wipe out all NPCs and reunite are paying homage to the meme or genuinely have a "dark side."

In short, there's no need to criticize them. If you say necromancers have dark minds, they'll all tacitly nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Then casually kill a wild monster by the roadside and demonstrate how evil they are.

The fact that the jailer became famous gave the necromancer a sense of pride for his unknown, marginalized family.

The Shadow Man, is he dead, deliveryman?

"Did you die? Delivery guy, you're quick to die too."

The nature of their profession dictates that Shadow Stalkers are mostly information providers, requiring them to operate outside the team to gather pre-battle information.

Therefore, it is common to see the amazing sight of one's own Shadowknight silently melting away shortly after entering a dungeon, without sending back any information.

Compared to the Berserker's abstract suicide, the Shadow Walkers are all master storytellers.

"I wanted to return from Shadow, but I got distracted by the chat messages and lost focus."

"There's something wrong with this game. The skill I want to use is different from the one that actually comes out. I should have been able to kill it."

"There was nothing I could do. I drank a magic potion immediately after I was injured, but I didn't expect to drink the wrong one."

"I picked up the wrong scroll. It's not a shield scroll, it's an attack power booster scroll."

"How could this monster's skill suppress my shadow!"

Did you guys feel the game fluctuations just now?

"I accidentally cut out the control panel!"

Everyone receives an unexpected divine body, and each unexpected event is different.

Because of their outstanding performance, random players once added the following tags when recruiting.

"Storytellers are not welcome."

"They don't listen to stories, and their absurd deaths are treated as a pretext for deportation."

"I politely decline offers from online novel writers."

The first to pass through the boundary between the real and the virtual realms in the underground temple of the Clarity Realm were the team members who consisted of these four Vajra.

At this time, the second batch of players also qualified to join the game, and each player had a second profession to choose from.

The four main players are having a blast.

"I told you Berserker was no problem. Look how fiercely Fries played it. Even a strong character like Yuu-dew could be one-shotted by Celestial Sphere."

"You should abandon tedious, operational professions and experience our berserker's brain-massaging 'bloodthirsty frenzy' combos."

"We magic warriors aren't all-rounders. What is an all-rounder? Someone who can support, deal damage, tank, and run. Even Potato says it's great!"

"Who says magic warriors are bad? I think magic warriors are great."

"Speak! What kind of discriminatory language is this against Shadow People? Where's that arrogance you had when you rejected me from joining the team? Do you even understand the value of the selection process at the boundary between the real and the virtual?!"

"Let our random teammates give us a response!"

What? Why isn't there a necromancer?
The necromancer was dark-hearted and disdainful of speaking to the true form.

The dead in their hands cannot speak.

Veteran players are already sweating profusely.

No, please, please don't!
Being good at navigating the boundaries between reality and illusion doesn't mean you're good at it!
Judging from the content of the post, Jiang Heyi was finding it hard to stay calm.

When eating fries, you need to pinch the corners of your mouth with your hand to avoid laughing too loudly.

The chain reaction of clearing the boundary between reality and illusion is really huge. I thought it would be the mindless people who stirred up trouble who would be devastated, but I didn't expect that it was the veteran players who were the first to cry out and spread the word about how terrifying the Four Heavenly Kings are.

The game's community culture is also an essential aspect to appreciate; there's so much fun to be had.

I was just about to take a look
When Nong Ya sent her congratulatory message, French Fries also received a phone call and quickly walked out the door.

Overjoyed, she greeted Jiang Heyi and went out the door.

A short while later, she returned carrying a large pile of delivery boxes.

Jiang Heyi peeked out suspiciously and asked in surprise, "What did you buy? So much?"

Fries squatted down expectantly to the side and handed over the utility knife.

"Why don't you just take it apart and see?"

The mystery piqued Jiang Heyi's curiosity.

He chose the largest box and opened it; the white computer case that came into view made his heart tremble.

Seeing Jiang Heyi's shock, French Fries rested his chin on his hand, smiling as he watched the changes in his expression.

Monitor, graphics card, hard drive, memory, power supply, motherboard...

Everything you need is here!
The fries I chose were basically the top-of-the-line.

French fries, in a serious tone, joked: "Yes, this is a gift."

Although Jiang Heyi didn't particularly like the flashy, dazzling lights that came on when the power supply was turned on, since the fries were bought... well, he could start liking it now!
French Fries said, "I didn't buy a mouse and keyboard. If you want, you can choose them and I can place the order."

She added, "Let me see what your preferences are, so it'll be easier to send you things in the future."

Mouse and keyboard are the two most important peripherals for gamers, and different people have different usage habits.

Some people have mice that feel like they're filled with lead, while others feel uncomfortable without a wired connection—these are just some of the strange and unusual habits people have.

It was with this in mind that I didn't place an order for fries rashly.

"like?"

Jiang Heyi subconsciously reached out and hugged the fries.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he forgot that they were both in a half-squatting position.

Unbalanced, the fries naturally tipped backward.

"..."

"..."

Eyes wide open.

Jiang Heyi braced himself on the ground with both hands and stared blankly into French Fries' clear eyes.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded across the light gray tiles, like a captivating, deep night sky.

If you get close, you can still smell the pleasant scent of shampoo.

A blush spread from her face to her body. Fries turned her head slightly, shifting her gaze a little away, but her eyes still lingered on Jiang Heyi out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Heyi's face was also burning, so he quickly moved away.

The two tacitly agreed to pretend nothing had happened and continued unpacking.

French Fries secretly glanced at Jiang Heyi.

Remembering Kish's diving tackle...

She's famous again.

Assembly and power-on went exceptionally smoothly; both are desktop PC enthusiasts and their PC building skills are up to par.

I had just opened the chat group on my new computer when Prison Guard Bro's private message popped up.

This guy kept sending me private messages during the computer assembly process.

Good news, the lawyer's evidence preservation is almost complete, and we've reached the stage of sending out summonses and calling out names one by one.

Although some people still stubbornly insisted that they had obtained strategy information from the boundary between reality and illusion to successfully pass the 11th floor, they were like clowns amidst the overwhelming trending topics, enjoying the treatment of "why is everyone on the road going against traffic".

These small groups of people, for various reasons, are trying to stir up trouble, and the boundary between reality and fiction is left entirely to the lawyers to handle.

As for the burning dragon knight and the whale in the basin, these are monsters that dare to show their health bars.

Everyone agrees on the boundary between the real and virtual worlds.

A powerful punch is needed, both in real life and in the game, to generate massive amounts of gold coins.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

The worse the burning dragon knight is beaten, the better the warning effect.

The video of the Dragon Knights Guild being robbed was released in its entirety, and the title given by French Fries was "Overestimating One's Abilities".

They brutally assaulted him, showing him no mercy whatsoever.

Since your goal is to undermine and distort the boundaries between reality and virtuality, then negotiation is not an option.

In the introduction section, Jiang Heyi wrote:

"The Underground Temple of the Clarity has come to a temporary end. We have enjoyed the most wonderful dungeon design and character story of the Proof of the Stars. Now it's time to enjoy the interaction between players."

This isn't over until you're completely ruined both inside and outside the game!

　Oh no, how could I forget to write the chapter number?
　　Just consider it as 270 being eaten by French fries.
