T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 378, Section 377: "It seems they really are spineless."

With the opening of the Tower World, everyone is playing their own game and there's not much interaction between them, leaving many players who went through the qualifiers feeling like something's missing.

The "kimchi invasion" was thoroughly defeated, and the momentary heated atmosphere in online communities both at home and abroad made people feel that everything was back.

Seeing that the players were really curious about the key to victory and defeat, and since it couldn't be kept secret for long anyway, Jiang Heyi casually announced the novel gameplay of [Flesh and Blood in the Box], which could turn strongholds into dungeons.

The community was in an uproar.

Since the announcement of the guild stronghold gameplay, many top guilds have left the game with a wry smile after studying it.

A stable source of materials, where even downlines can earn money passively, sounds wonderful, but if you can't prevent it, it's all just empty talk.

The difficulty in establishing guild strongholds lies in the immense pressure of defense; the costs for invading and defending are disproportionate.

Even a game as powerful as the boundary between reality and illusion requires players to be online and receive defensive buffs in order to unleash devastating attacks on enemies many times their size, not to mention the boosts from guild dolls and artifacts.

Even if they don't agree with the boundary between reality and illusion, in terms of the sophistication of their guild strongholds, there is currently no one in the entire game that can compare to them.

They've all been working incredibly hard to hold their positions, so how could players of a lower tier possibly get in?

The appearance of guild collectibles and stronghold dungeon items means that players can customize stronghold defense strategies based on the collectibles, greatly making up for the disadvantage of insufficient defense.

In an instant, the top guilds began to stir.

"Potato, Potato, your [Flesh and Blood in the Box] is very powerful, but it must be extremely difficult to obtain. Are there any other ways to acquire this collectible?"

Since he was sharing, Jiang Heyi wasn't stingy at all.

"Yes, brother. Yes."

He personally replied to the post.

"Bound dungeon scrolls will drop from monsters in the wild, and can also be obtained by clearing special dungeons."

"Rewards that can be obtained by triggering special events."

"The probability is very low, but you can get it by showing your face. It's a drop that can be considered a lucky moment."

"After establishing a guild base, you will trade with wandering merchants. Of course, they won't sell directly to you. You'll need to build rapport with them and use persuasive techniques to coax them into helping you."

"The drop rate seems to increase after establishing a guild base."

Many top guilds secretly copied this strategy, and upon seeing this, they couldn't help but smile.

How to strengthen the defense of guild strongholds?

Let's establish a guild stronghold first.

But what if establishing a base will result in being targeted by a "discover and destroy" attack?
Then you need to establish a base first, and then go farm items.

It's stuck in a vicious cycle.

"You're here to clear the Temple of the Clarity dungeon, right? You're a player who's already graduated from the Temple of the Clarity dungeon?"

Just as they were joking around, the battle video of [Flesh and Blood in the Box] was uploaded by the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The spectacular performance of Korean players being slaughtered has inevitably become a hot video in the gaming sections of various platforms.

Just watching them run away in a panic is enough to make one feel relieved.

"It still has to be the boundary between reality and illusion," such praise filled every corner.

The prison guard, engrossed in his intense self-search, scurried around in the corner for a good while, chuckling to himself. This feeling was better than chugging a can of soda after a meal; he could probably rival Elena's adrenaline rush in consuming magic dust.

Suddenly, his smile froze.

"Potatoes, potatoes!"

He jumped up from the sofa and shouted as he found Jiang Heyi, who was doing high-intensity physical training with fries.

Jiang Heyi, who was being urged to do burpees, was drenched in sweat. He was holding his breath and his strength was running out, making him dizzy. He was only keeping going by sheer willpower.

Distracted by the shouts of "Potato, Potato," my arms, which I had just lowered for a push-up, suddenly went limp, and I collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

French Fries squatted to the side, watching Jiang Heyi who was powerless to resist. He couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek with his finger before slowly turning around and sighing at the jailer.

"You've come at just the right time."

"We're no longer number one."

After taking the prison guard's phone, Fries frowned slightly at first glance, but then relaxed.

She explained to the soft-spoken Jiang Heyi, "Two guilds in the Three Domes have passed the 5th level."

The moment they chose to grind for experience, they knew this moment would come sooner or later, but they didn't expect the Three Kingdoms Land to progress so quickly.

Indeed, we should not underestimate them. Although there are no similar games in their world, the groups that can stand at the top through repeated trials are all elites.

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood; let them get a head start too."

Jiang Heyi was about to chug down his iced cola when he was immediately glared at by French Fries, who handed him warm water from his own water bottle.

"Wow, so strict! Can't we even have a sip of soda?" the jailer exclaimed in surprise.

"You should drink warm water after strenuous exercise, that's common sense," Fries emphasized. "You're not going to drink ice water right after exercising, are you?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I hope your stomach stays this healthy."

News about the boundary between the virtual and the real is invariably juicy gossip.

Just moments ago, the team had been thrashing the 1,000-player kimchi battle, which was exhilarating. But the next second came the "bad news" that their ranking had been surpassed by bots. From morning to noon, the boundary between reality and illusion firmly captivated the attention of every Star Proof player.

Some joked, "If another big news breaks tonight, today will be completely dominated by the boundary between reality and fiction."

The boundary between the real and the virtual is indeed the Holy Body of the Melon King; even their silence attracts huge melons.

At 3 p.m., a sinister post suddenly appeared on the Kimchi Community Forum, which could be described as a crime warning.

The general idea is that "the boundary between the real and virtual worlds cannot always be defended; we will keep a close eye on it."

Players on various servers had already been mocking Kimchi, and this announcement immediately escalated the situation to a new level.

The poster was none other than a member of the guild that had once joked about the boundary between the real and the virtual, the Yin-Yang realm.

Immediately, countless messages flooded Jiang Heyi.

As the person involved, his statement is particularly noteworthy.

The phrase "They will keep watching" is a translated and polished version; the original post was closer to "We will not let you off the hook."

The dampness and gloom were palpable.

Jiang He was delighted. In the morning's reply, they hadn't been sarcastic or sarcastic; on the surface, they had given him plenty of face.

However, some people seem unable to understand the implied meaning and want to escalate the situation.

"Then let's speak like human beings and expose this matter!" The good-natured Zhong Zemo slammed his fist on the table.

To deal with a shady person, you have to ruthlessly stomp on their head.

Jiang Heyi carefully considered his words and responded quickly.

"Since the players from the Korean server are not satisfied, we'll meet at the guild headquarters tonight. Don't let players from other servers around the world look down on you and think of you as cowards who only dare to ambush and not fight head-on."

The community's public opinion was completely ignited.

There was no sarcastic or sarcastic tone; they just called out names directly.

"This is a challenge, a challenge between the boundary between the virtual and real worlds and the realm of Yin and Yang!"

"Idiot, it's the boundary between reality and illusion that's going to challenge all the best players in Korea. This is going to be really fun." "Hehe, this is going to be really fun. It's one thing to play dead after losing, but you actually had to be stubborn and come out to start a fight against the odds. Now you're being relentlessly attacked by the boundary between reality and illusion. Responding is wrong, and not responding is also wrong."

"The matter has even escalated to the point of nationality. Isn't the boundary between reality and virtuality going too far?"

"Laughing my head off, you don't think that the thousand-person group organized by the top Korean guild last night was something that one or two people could pull off just by shouting slogans, do you? It's obvious that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, and the plan was only reached through serious discussions in real life."

"Exactly, if the stronghold at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds is destroyed, guess what the trending keywords in the gaming section will be today?"

"I'm guessing that he's incompetent in both internal and external warfare, and his reputation doesn't match his actual abilities?"

"The main point isn't just the trending topics in the domestic gaming community, but the fact that Korean guilds are making such a big deal out of this on foreign websites. From now on, every promotion will have to blur the lines between reality and fiction."

"They can make it sound like they've been winning every time they win, and they can claim any connection as their own. It's a common tactic in their country to extort money and be shameless."

If you get involved with kimchi, you'll end up smelling like kimchi.

The boundary between reality and illusion was already cleared up this morning when we were thinking of letting the community return to its original state. But now the other side actually wants to engage in a team fight from behind, so don't blame us for being ruthless.

In esports, being bad is the original sin. If you can't win, all your words and arguments are just empty talk and impotent rage.

Players from both the Chinese and international servers eagerly shared updates about the boundary between reality and virtuality on Korean online communities, asking when and who would be sent to fight that night.
What methods do you plan to use to counter the boundary between the virtual and the real?
Reporters who had been lurking in the game for a long time flocked to the scene, joining in the excitement of the Korean community while searching for various ways to obtain a spectator seat at the guild's stronghold.

The strong response silenced the Korean community.

At 6 p.m., they once again resorted to their traditional skill: deleting posts.

This is somewhat laughable; he's both a troublemaker and a coward.

Quietly deleting the post was useless, as countless people copied the post verbatim, including the Korean players who replied below.

At 7 p.m., after enjoying dinner at the virtual-real boundary, Meimei was surprised to learn that the Kimchi Community had blocked access from external IP addresses.

Can't help laughing.

How did they manage to make every step they took leave onlookers both amused and bewildered?

Jiang Heyi didn't want to be targeted by extortionists in the future, so he posted an update again under the guise of the boundary between reality and virtuality.

Paste the fragments of "history" provided by players in the Chinese server community one by one.

Most of these are collections of Korean players who stubbornly refused to invade after their attempts, threatening to secretly stake out locations and retaliate against those who crossed the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

This even includes outrageous arguments that guild collections should not be used at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, and that doing so is unfair.

History records the truth.

Kimchi Community has entered an era of massive post deletion.

Meanwhile, outside of the official community for Kimchi Stars, discussions about it have also exploded.

"What are the official community administrators doing? Why are they silencing the players?"

"They are nothing but lackeys of the boundary between reality and illusion!"

“Look at his actions, how is he any different from a coward? Is the boundary between reality and illusion off-limits and can’t be criticized?”

"What a disgrace! Why should we be silenced for discussing a foreign guild in our own community? Is this still our community?!"

"Administrator, come out here and let me see your nationality!"

The sentiment is exciting.

Until one player cautiously asked a question.

"So, who will go to the stronghold at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds tonight to fight?"

The raging discussion thread was like a roaring river, but this question was like a boulder falling into the water, abruptly silencing the voice of the debate.

The subsequent speaker seemed oblivious to the question, continuing to hurl insults at the boundary between reality and illusion.

With the launch of the virtual-real boundary approaching, this issue can no longer be ignored.

"We can't just ignore what they said, can we?"

"Many players on other servers are watching the show."

"So what? Just because we say we're going to the boundary between the real and the virtual world, does that mean we have to go?"

Anyone could hear the weakness in his words.

After the boundary between the virtual and real worlds went live, Jiang Heyi immediately teleported to the major cities and read the post published on the official account verbatim.

He sent invitations to game news reporters who wanted to come and watch the game.

Missing a day of experience is nothing; today we're going to fight for this on the boundary between reality and illusion.

During the Tower of Trials, if anyone tries to secretly attack guild strongholds to distract them, the offensive capabilities will be maximized both online and offline at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds!
Today we must drag the Korean players down with us and establish our authority by stepping on their heads!

Let all guilds consider whether it's necessary to take the boundary between the virtual and the real seriously.

Inside the guild stronghold at the border between the real and virtual worlds, players from various countries who were fortunate enough to be invited gathered in the central square, filled with excitement, and eagerly awaited the arrival of the national war.

Upon learning the news, the Korean players gradually began to panic.

They found members of the Yin Yang Realm Guild.

The whole thing started because of them; the stage has been set, and they should take full responsibility.

Unexpectedly, the person from the Yin-Yang Realm teleported away without saying a word, refusing to respond.

They sought responses from other leading guilds, but everyone avoided them like the plague.

The matter has escalated. Regardless of what the community news will say tomorrow if they lose, extreme players might even expel the entire guild from the nationality list.

They dare to gamble their nationality on the thrill of Russian roulette at the border between the real and virtual worlds, but they wouldn't!

The power of the boundary between the virtual and the real is obvious to all. If they really had a 100% chance of winning, they could have crushed them head-on. Why bother with all the scheming and planning before launching last night's invasion?

After waiting for two hours, apart from players who came to watch the spectacle, not a single top player from the leading Korean guilds was seen.

It's as if last night's invasion and today's community commotion were just a fleeting dream.

Jiang Heyi got bored waiting, so he apologized to the players from various countries who had been invited and asked them to wait for him while he continued to the 5th floor to gain experience.

The players who were watching the spectacle all agreed – the T0 guild leader was being so polite, and those meeting him for the first time were somewhat flattered.

In their view, powerful players tend to have some temper and personality.

Time ticked by, and the boundary between reality and illusion rose another level in the fifth layer, but the Kimchi Guild was still nowhere to be seen.

Some indignant solo players did come forward to challenge them, only to be met with ridicule from players on various servers.

"Random people have more guts than high-level players. I think the top guilds in Korea should just be called cowardly guilds."

Coming to the challenge is fun, but not coming to the challenge will bring even more fun to the community tomorrow.

Either way, it's big news.

Random players from the Kimchi guild began to visit one after another. The more they came, the more the major servers despised the Kimchi guild's behavior of causing trouble while being afraid of trouble.

They enjoy the adoration of ordinary players in the game on ordinary days, but when something goes wrong, they act like sissies and dare not show up.

As dawn broke, the leveling session at the boundary between reality and illusion ended, and I returned to the guild.

"It seems they really are spineless."

Upon learning the result, Jiang Heyi smiled dismissively.
