T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 301. 300. Gold Coin Dagger

The jailer politely asked Elaine if she ate people.

“Why do you think we need to master miniaturization techniques?” Eleravi countered. “We became human to more easily enjoy pleasure, not to eat garbage, that’s what rats do.”

I felt like I'd been scolded, but it didn't feel like an offense.

subtle.

Dragon Elera, Siren Ksha, Slime King Dark Green, Mint.

In addition, there are puppets at the boundary between reality and illusion, as well as necromantic defenses that have undergone two rounds of upgrades.

As long as we maintain staggered online times, the 4-hour gap should be virtually impregnable.

"Master, the composite ore produced today has been processed. Shall we activate it?"

Jiang Heyi glanced at the panel; 47 copies had already been saved.

If you save up a little longer you can get 100 pulls, so hold back!
He couldn't help but ask, "Garlic sprouts, is there any way to increase the number of pack animals?"

The guild only has 6 pack animals, which is still too inefficient.

Damn the Church of Eternal Night! They even kill those hardworking beasts that carry their loads like oxen!

“Wandering merchants might sell them, or you could try asking them; maybe one of them will be willing to help?”

As Jiang Heyi was pondering, ripples spread through the space, and Chen Shaoyu suddenly arrived.

He looked around and, finding that not everyone was present, casually paused the timer on the world bubble.

"Is anyone still offline?"

"The Four Primal Bodies, he went online at an off-peak time," Jiang Heyi asked. "Is something wrong?"

"Tomorrow, the founder of Stars Campfire would like to meet with you."

"What?!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and after receiving Chen Shaoyu's affirmative answer, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The founder of Starfire has sparked countless speculations since the game was announced.

The game's presentation was so groundbreaking that it might be more accurate to say it was ahead of its time.

It's unbelievable that this game company, which seems to have appeared overnight, has managed to get cooperation from multiple countries, receive the green light, and go through the same censorship process.

Before that, the unique features of the Chinese version of the game were oil-based blood and green blood.

The words “kill”, “corpse”, and “alcohol” should be censored to “defeat”, “remains”, and “juice”.

The stars are proof, yet not a single blade was slashed.

In the Anna Rebellion storyline, there's a branch where nobles are massacred. In this massacre storyline, comparable to "Don't Speak Russian," players can create mountains of corpses and seas of blood themselves.

Not to mention the necromancer's heart-wrenching magic, his ability to manipulate corpses into a family reunion, and the "small" details like bringing someone's head to meet him.

It makes people exclaim, "Is this something I deserve to play? This game only costs the price of an instrument?"

The founder who gave global gamers a gaming feast has never made a public appearance. No matter how hard people try to unravel the mystery, they are still shrouded in mystery, which makes people's scalps tingle.

The French fries were puzzled: "Uh, why us?"

"You'll know once you get here; your tickets have already been booked."

The unexpected invitation ruined everyone's mood for sightseeing.

Sitting in the arena's stands, watching Kesha torture Mint, everyone stared blankly into space.

"Is our Guangfu some kind of auspicious place? Why did you choose this place for both the offline event and this meeting?"

The woman in bed, hands on hips, said, "You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent. Shut up, you're making me happy."

"What's wrong? People choose Guangzhou because there's so much better food here!"

"You mean we don't have any good food here?"

“I don’t mean any offense, but the information that popped up in the search bar shows that you are also a Cantonese ingredient.”

The four people from Chengning, who were on the boundary between reality and illusion, fully demonstrated their spirit of peacemaking.

"They're all delicious! They're all delicious! Take us to eat here next time!"

Go ahead and argue, the people of Chengning have always carried their own bowls and chopsticks, and they never refuse any good food offered to them.

French fries on my chin.

"That's great, we can even argue about whose food is better."

The debate between the bed and the jailer over hometown delicacies seems to have resulted in splash damage hitting the fries the most.

"Puha~~~"

In the distance, Mint lay on the ground with her mouth open and eyes closed, her pained expression mirroring that of French fries.

Kesha's training intensity is very high.

The Word of Power instantly activated, training Mint's reaction ability.

A simple skill that uses ordinary magic to create a blooming effect on the arena floor, training Mint's ability to judge the situation.

If Mint loses her balance after being hit and hastily deploys a magic shield, Ksha will gradually increase the amount of magic she inputs, creating a stalemate and testing her endurance.

Through repeated training, the intensity of the competition is gradually increased.

Compared to her incredibly weak performance when we first met, Mint is now more than capable of handling most of her peers at the Star Speakers Academy.

However, Renee is not among the average fighters of her age; she is on a higher level.

"You can't even guarantee that Mint will win?"

Ksha shook his head: "Falling Star has had a lot of dealings with the Grelian family. According to his companions, Renee's talent is enough to make the Siren jealous."

"In a battle between geniuses, the key to victory lies in mindset, not in the release of any particular spell."

Mint has lived up to her boast by quickly realizing her talent and improving her combat skills in a short period of time.

She is indeed a genius.

Renee precisely targeted her from among the thousands of students at the Star Speakers Academy, a perfect example of how strong individuals attract each other.

"I can improve her practical combat skills, but her mindset..."

Kesha casually set up a soundproofing array and noticed that Mint, who was spraying water mist on her face to cool her down, was looking in this direction. She waved her hand as usual.

"They say they're not afraid, but deep down they still feel scared."

"Perhaps things have improved since you first met her, but it's still not enough."

French Fries smoothed his silvery-white hair and tucked it behind his ear.

Is there anything we can do to help her?

Jiang Heyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've done everything we can. This is a hurdle she has to overcome on her own."

The storyline related to mint seems to have been exhausted, and they have no way to increase their chances of winning.

I don't want Mint to lose.

The friendship forged since the game's launch meant that the boundary between the virtual and real worlds never saw Mint as just virtual code in the game, but as a living, breathing person.

“Master, a wandering merchant has come to visit; he is the werewolf that appeared last time.”

The garlic sprouts attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh? Did they bring any gold-quality forging blueprints?"

The garlic sprouts nodded.

Jiang Heyi turned to look at the prison guard, beaming with pride.

"Alright, alright, I know you're making progress with your bargaining. Those are great skills you've honed from cohabiting shopping. Wishing you both a loving and harmonious relationship~~~"

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled, leaving Jiang Heyi and French Fries blushing.

Upon arriving at the guild's reception hall for wandering merchants, several muscular wolves were casually eating dried meat laid out on the table.

Seeing the group arriving at the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds, the leading werewolf quickly slapped his companion's hand, who was still clutching the meat jerky, and put on a serious and indifferent face.

He muttered under the covers, "Don't these werewolves know we have surveillance cameras? They're still acting all high and mighty even now that they're here?"

They seemed to have never seen the world before, praising the dried meat and fruit made by the Squid Brother witch doll "Red and White" as delicious.

The plated meat jerky was pulled out from the bottom layer and eaten, maintaining the appearance of "prosperity and abundance".

To be honest, this kind of behavior reminds everyone of when they were kids and went home for Chinese New Year to sneak a handful of offering plates to the gods.

"Hmm, nice to meet you all from the boundary between the real and the virtual."

The werewolf leader smoothed his fur, which was stained with juice from eating fruit, and continued the conversation as if nothing had happened.

"After careful consideration... we can lower the price for the forging drawings slightly as a token of our sincerity for this first transaction." Jiang Heyi didn't waste any words: "How much?"

"As far as I know, you've taken over the Clear Ones' compound ore." The werewolf leader held up five hairy fingers. "2000 portions of compound ore."

Why five roots?

During each round of the game, the number of composite ores entering the warehouse at the virtual-real boundary fluctuates between 12 and 15.

The werewolf leader immediately asked for 100 days' worth of supplies.

The compound mineral also has a lottery feature; you might get a big surprise if you hand it over to Orange Tea.

Jiang Heyi pouted: "You guys seem to really like dried meat and cuttlefish. Tell your family to bring more of those."

"If the first direct transaction doesn't go through, let's remain friendly and eat our fill before leaving."

Without a second thought, Jiang Heyi got up and left.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Since no one introduced themselves, the werewolf leader could only hastily use "sigh" to try and persuade them to stay.

"Well, 1000 is negotiable."

Jiang Heyi quickly walked out of the reception room.

"500!"

"300?"

"President, if you're not satisfied with the quote, you can raise your own price range."

Jiang Heyi stopped.

"If you let me discuss my budget, I'll be tempted to let you give it to me for free."

The werewolf leader looked displeased upon hearing this.

"But in business, of course it's a win-win situation for everyone, so..."

"150, let's be friends."

The werewolf leader looked troubled, but the werewolves behind him showed signs of interest.

"Isn't this a bit..."

“I believe you learned from the Heart of the Reed Fairy that we control the Star Sands. Just because we were able to replace the Clarity Ones and occupy this place, you should also believe in the power of the Reality-Illusion Boundary.”

Jiang Heyi countered, "As a wandering merchant, establishing relationships with powerful forces would be beneficial and harmless to you, wouldn't it?"

"I won't ask where your props came from; I'm only responsible for buying them."

"How many people in this world can afford to buy high-end materials and equipment?"

"Would you rather trade with a third-party intermediary whose credibility is unknown, or with us, who are quick to pay and deliver goods and can even offer Stardust?"

Jiang Heyi's verbal offensive shook everyone behind the werewolf leader.

One of the werewolves couldn't resist nudging him, signaling that it was time to quit while he was ahead.

The werewolf leader sighed helplessly.

"You're more like a businessman than I am."

Knowing this meant the deal was done, Jiang Heyi smiled brightly.

"It's a matter of each getting what they need."

The werewolf leader took out the forging blueprints, unsealed them in front of everyone, and began to explain.

"This is what we obtained from an ancient tomb... Oh, of course, please don't mistake us for despicable tomb raiders."

"Someone else opened the passage to the tomb; we only discovered it by chance during our business trip."

"The tomb raiders died under suspicious circumstances. The passage near the exit was littered with corpses and bloodstains. This is what we found on one of the bodies."

【Twilight Vampire Blade】

These are weapon blueprints.

Depending on the forging method, it can be made into a short sword or a dagger; there are two types of blueprints.

"Blood, and money."

"What's mine, it's all mine!"

"You are all mine, even in death!"

"■■■■■■■■■"

The preview of the finished weapon information is very interesting; you can almost hear some twisted soul screaming and shouting in your ear through the screen.

Common, unremarkable elements such as bestowing blessings fail to capture people's attention.

The scream from under the covers made everyone realize the most unique feature of this weapon.

The Twilight Vampire set is an upgradeable set.

After the gold set is transformed into a rainbow set, the damage dealt by the weapon can draw blood to create a shield.

Additionally, there is a small chance of stealing materials of purple quality or lower from the target.

Three known rainbow-themed equipment sets.

Jiang Heyi's [Call the Tide] is an all-in-one offensive, defensive, and support skill with explosive versatility.

The [Origin Element] being forged is being adapted to local conditions, maximizing its elemental abilities and resistances.

The third type of "Twilight Vampire" that has appeared now is different from the two mentioned above.

Its only notable benefit in actual combat is the lifesteal that enhances the shield; the rest are negligible.

But it can steal!
The armored rabbits in the ever-changing doll's nest deliver brutal, realistic punches, each one a blow to the player's bank account.

【Twilight Vampire】is even more outrageous, it actually directly steals players' gold coins!

"Great, great, great!" The blanket gripped the blueprint tightly, refusing to let go. "This is practically tailor-made for me!"

The Shadow Stalker's mobility, combined with the Vampire Set, means that every strike literally bleeds the enemy.

Zhong Zemo hurriedly asked, "Has the tomb been hollowed out?"

The werewolf leader was taken aback and shook his head: "No, their exploration tools and personal belongings are all near the corpses."

"We went deeper into the tomb and saw the tomb door that wasn't fully opened yet; it was spectacular."

"We didn't dare linger after we got it, and left as quickly as possible."

"If you want the coordinates, you'll need... 50 units of ore!"

Jiang Heyi waved his hand and said, "Buy it, and mark it for us immediately."

The werewolf leader took out a fist-sized crystal that he always carried with him and projected the map into the air.

Jiang Heyi discovered that they were still missing an environmental map of the area surrounding the underground temple of the Clarity, which was now a perfect opportunity to complete the map.

It really kills two birds with one stone!

After doing all this, the werewolf leader swallowed hard.

"President, look at this... hey, are we supposed to move the ore ourselves, or are you going to do it?"

Jiang Heyi shrugged: "Regarding this, given the issue of production capacity at the boundary between virtual and real resources, we can only pay you for 47 portions of composite ore at present."

Under the gaze of the werewolf leader's green, bean-sized eyes, he continued speaking without flinching.

"Now, let's discuss the issue of installment payments."

The werewolf leader said with a long face, "How could you do this, Guild Master? Please return the forging blueprints to us first, and we will come to visit again next time."

He quickly put the scroll into his backpack.

Okay, now we're safe.

Once inside the player's inventory, the NPC explodes with gold coins!
After some negotiation, the werewolf leader reluctantly accepted Jiang Heyi's proposal for installment payments.

To secure this money, he also needs to regularly visit the boundary between the virtual and real worlds to ensure they don't secretly misappropriate it after mining.

The jailer seemed to have realized something.

"You... planned this all along?"

The wandering merchant had no fixed abode and visited places without any regularity.

After Jiang Heyi's maneuvering, they had no choice but to come in order to collect rent.

When it comes to collecting debts, we always arrive on time.

　There will be more later, but I don't know when it will be ready.
