T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 379, Chapter 378. Mint: I'm ready.
After the Temple of the Clarity incident was condemned and had finally faded from public view, the return of the top guild in South Korea provided one of the most entertaining experiences for players of StarCraft.

Don't easily reveal your abilities, otherwise others will find that you actually have no real skills.

Being both troublemaker and cowardly is undoubtedly the most laughable tactic. The top guild in the Korean game is jumping around in front of all players, looking like a clown.

Among the bunch of players who were feigning death, only a few stubborn Korean players remained, attempting to fight back against the odds.

Doing this will not make players on other servers think more highly of them; on the contrary, it will make them even more contemptuous.

We're all players, and what we fear most is being unable to accept defeat.

Trying to find all sorts of excuses to save face only makes one look bad and shows a lack of basic professionalism as a player.

What's more, you don't even dare to accept the challenge.

Compared to the top guilds in the Korean gaming community, the virtual-real boundary receives much better treatment, garnering widespread praise both within the community and offline.

"This is a challenge that's risking all the reputation we've built up since the game's launch. If we lose, I can't imagine how the domestic players will react."

"It's not just about risking one's own image, but also commercial value. If they lose, they might not even keep their citizenship, and the community will drag them out and criticize them every day."

"If it were me, my hands would shake when I posted an update."

With millions of followers, even if they haven't monetized much, their commercial value is undeniable. As long as they want to make money at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, they can use this for marketing, long-term operation, and make a fortune from the traffic.

Choosing to fight to the death is precisely the option least in one's own interest.

If you win the bet, all your efforts will be wasted; if you lose, all your previous gains will be for naught.

"Young people are passionate and energetic."

Snow Water Fried Noodles also watched the game all night, waiting for the possible challenges, while also feeling a bit nervous about the boundary between reality and illusion.

He enjoys the kind of urgency that comes from putting everything he has worked so hard to build up on the gambling table, just to prove himself and humiliate his opponent.

The enamel mug said that watching the development of the top guilds in the Chinese server is like playing a nurturing game, and the joy of appreciating their gradual strengthening is irreplaceable.

He strongly agreed with this view.

"Where is their fruit link? I'd like to buy some more."

The enamel mug laughed: "Want to buy it? It's sold out. Maybe next year."

Xue Shui Chao Mian frowned: "What do you mean? Aren't they doing business?"

"It's a temporary assistance program for farmers. The beneficiaries are people from the hometown of the orange tea plantation, and their inventory has already been sold out."

Xue Shui Fried Noodles was quite puzzled: "Don't they have any other business channels? Don't they make money?"

"No, not really. Among the guilds in the Chinese server, they have the most fans but the least monetization," said Enamel Cup. "They didn't take any money from helping fruit farmers; in fact, they spent a lot of their own money."

"what?"

“Someone told me that before they lived together, they would bring rice, flour and cooking oil to the local welfare home every week and visit the homes of elderly people living alone with the staff.”

"Oh, and they also donated a sum of money, a six-figure sum, to a charity canteen in the name of the group."

Xue Shui Chao Mian couldn't help but rub his temples; he was a little dazed.

"All seven people agree to this distribution?"

"You saw their performance in the game; everyone got along well, which proves they didn't think the expense was inappropriate," the enamel mug joked. "What, you look like you're itching to find fault? Don't you like young people's spirit of dedication?"

Snow water fried noodles are indeed a bit surprising. They have immense wealth within their grasp, yet they remain as steady as Mount Tai. With such a mindset, they can succeed in anything.

Whether one goes to Anna after death, everyone at the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds replied with "we'll talk about it after death."

But in reality, everyone's answer was already buried in their hearts.

Knowing that the end of life is just the beginning of another journey, and that money is just an external thing.

Simply retain the wealth that allows you to remember this world to the fullest extent, and enjoy the beauty of this life to the fullest.

It's not difficult to do this; the winner will be the one with the best reward.

With the resources at their disposal, it is only natural to give back to the best of their ability.

Jiang Heyi rarely accepts online interviews from domestic game media.

The issue revolves around the challenge match last night, in which one side was absent. Since this is a domestic gaming media outlet, the topic inevitably touches on the spicy flavors of Korean cuisine.

What's your assessment of the opponent you challenged last night who didn't show up?

As soon as he said this, Jiang Heyi revealed a knowing smile.

"Without an opponent to challenge me, I can't offer my opinion. Perhaps the literary giants in the comments section will do their evaluation for me."

People have already been trampled into the dust by the boundary between reality and illusion. As for how to finish them off, just look to the talented netizens.

"Some people say you've staked your nationality on this challenge. What do you think of this joke?"

"That just means someone can't take a joke, they didn't even come."

Jiang Heyi shrugged, and the media personnel conducting the interview burst into laughter.

"Tower World is equivalent to the World Championship, that's what players say now. The virtual-real boundary has dominated the top spot for a long time, but it slipped to fourth place yesterday. Have you encountered a bottleneck? I'd like to ask Fries this question."

French Fries, sitting to the side, blinked, only to be brought back to his senses when Jiang Heyi poked his waist under the table.

"It's just a technical adjustment, don't panic," she responded humorously.

The strategy for grinding experience on the 5th floor is not yet widely known.

Furthermore, this strategy requires a certain level of skill; otherwise, you'll get injured and forced to settle the game prematurely before reaching the 6th round, which offers the most experience.

Controlling the score also requires ability; the ability to control the game is a skill of strong teams.

Many of the journalists from gaming media outlets are also qualified to play games, but they don't seem to be at the level where they can access experience-boosting guides, which led them to ask a question that made the experts uncomfortable, while the laymen just watched the spectacle.

"May I ask a question outside of the game, about the team that controls the boundary between reality and virtuality?" a reporter asked.

The fries nodded: "Please."

The reporter glanced at the memo with anticipation, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"There have been rumors in the community that you and Cyber ​​Potato are already in a romantic relationship."

"And they've already started living together offline, and some players in the Guangfu University Town area even witnessed you holding hands when you went out..."

The topic suddenly became very popular, and the reporters who were on the same live broadcast were in an uproar.

Squeaks of suppressed laughter rose and fell, and a joyful atmosphere permeated every windowpane.

It was as if the electronic world had opened a door, connecting everyone's emotions and allowing them to share that hazy, youthful feeling.

The question, which could make someone look younger in an instant, unsurprisingly caused French Fries' face to flush slightly.

This issue can no longer be considered a rumor. More and more players from the Guangdong region in the community have reported encountering Jiang Heyi from afar near the university town.

Jiang Heyi carried large bags and small packages, having purchased a large amount of seasonal vegetables and meat, clearly indicating that she had settled down in the area.

It's only a matter of time before it becomes a widely known fact, just one nod from the person involved.

French Fries kicked Jiang Heyi's shin.

He coughed and nodded generously: "Yes, that's right."

The two simple words elicited thunderous applause, a blessing from the crowd.

In the distant Suzhou and Hangzhou, two parents who were always on the verge of exchanging illusions erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers, followed by a cannibalistic laugh that made one suspect they could eat children alive.

I bet even Jiang Heyi would have made a comment if he were there...

"Is this the kind of laughter a human can make?"

"We're getting more bowls and chopsticks for the family this year."

"Xiaofei, you always say you don't want to be in a relationship and don't want to be like us, but you say one thing and do another." Lu Xinxin clapped her hands.

Liu Jinhong nodded repeatedly: "Potatoes are much better off than I was back then, after all, I was really open-minded."

Lu Xinxin feigned anger: "How many times have you said that? Are you complaining about me?" "How could I!" Liu Jinhong suddenly became serious, reached out and hugged Lu Xinxin. "Choosing you, my life will be without regrets. Those are just insignificant ripples."

"Mmm...darling~~~~"

……

……

French Fries blushed and murmured, "Just like that, my mom pretended to be angry, my dad immediately said sweet words, and the two of them hugged and kissed each other."

"They're all lovey-dovey, and if there are outsiders around, they'll deliberately give you a deep kiss so you can admire it, treating you as part of their play."

“I think they watched the interview at home and that’s how they reacted.”

Jiang Heyi's mouth opened slightly: "You speak as if you witnessed it firsthand."

The blankets beside her blinked repeatedly: "Even though I've met your parents, it still feels so cheesy. Would they really do that?"

"Why do you think I taught myself how to get into character, why I went to school in another province, and why I live alone!" French Fries emphasized through gritted teeth.

Orange Tea looked blankly at him: "Isn't it because there's really nothing good to eat?"

French Fries was taken aback: "This... seems to be about 50/50 with the factors of those two people."

It feels like French fries are quite frankly mocking their own hometown again.

While putting sausages into the sausage grill, the four prototypes swiped their phone screen.

It seems like everyone has had the experience of being tempted by grilled sausages from the corner store on their way home from school when they were kids.

When you're short of money and can't afford to spend your allowance, you can only swallow your saliva as you eat your favorite snacks.

The jailer only mentioned it briefly, but the four original bodies immediately placed an order, bringing the freedom of grilled sausages to everyone.

“Nong Ya wants to come and visit.” He held up his phone and showed it to everyone.

Besides the Chinese text translated by translation software, she also posted a laughing emoji.

"Does she usually chat with you using memes?" Jiang Heyi asked curiously.

The four original bodies said: "I didn't have this before, but recently it seems that I have learned the essence of the domestic style, and I can use a lot of memes at will."

Looking through the history of meme battles, Nong Ya has a huge collection of memes; I have no idea where she collected them from.

The four original entities opened their emoji inventory and carefully selected one that read, "Go to sleep, your life is the most important thing."

Not long after I sent it, Nong Ya replied.

"You big idiot, you big idiot."

It's painful to hold back laughter.

I don't know if Nong Ya understands the meaning of the emoji, or if she just thought it was cute and posted it casually.

Having stayed in China for an extended period, her understanding of Chinese internet culture has become increasingly detailed, and even her way of thinking in conversations has begun to resemble that of Chinese players.

Location sent, Nongya expects it to arrive tomorrow.

Nothing happened during the day. Kimchi suffered a humiliating defeat and did not launch another invasion. Consequently, the number of tourists visiting the boundary between the virtual and real worlds also decreased significantly, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

After logging in, everyone did their usual rounds around the guild.

The defensive outposts damaged during the invasion are being repaired at a rapid pace.

The damaged dolls have been repaired using the eco-friendly materials provided by the other party.

According to Kesha's statistics, after everything is used up, it is estimated that there will be 920 materials remaining.

Oh well, you're here, why bring any gifts?

The Kimchi Guild's gift is more generous than the rewards from running the dungeon in the Reality/Virtual Boundary; they're really too kind.

Upon seeing Jiang Heyi's visit, Elaeva immediately broke out of her meditative state.

Before anyone could speak, he launched into a long, detailed account of his masterful use of material to detonate the explosives during the previous day's battle.

A thousand kills in an instant.

"I'm not going to pursue the matter of you exploding the oven; you did a good job."

Jiang Heyi told her to relax, while the jailer muttered something under his breath.

"That sounds good, but when will my equipment be ready?"

Aleira reacted strongly: "It was just an accident before, this time it will get better, it definitely will!"

"You must believe me, I am Anna's finest craftsman!"

She gripped the jailer's shoulder, her dragon claws almost piercing his flesh, which frightened the jailer into nodding repeatedly.

After the guild inspection ended, everything was as usual, and everyone routinely gave Jiang Heyi and Ke Xia some time alone.

Kesha loves being led around by the tail, jokingly saying it's a way to replenish her potato energy.

Today, my solitude is interrupted by an uninvited guest.

Mint sat on the railing of the lower tier of the arena, swinging her little feet, resting her chin on her hand, and staring at the two from afar.

Jiang Heyi felt inexplicably annoyed by that sharp little gaze, and when the walk ended, he went over to her.

Mint spoke first.

"I want to go back to Anna."

Jiang Heyi felt dizzy, her head buzzing.

"Have we neglected you because we've been away from the guild for so long?"

"We'll be very busy lately... I apologize."

Like a child who is too busy to take care of the family, Jiang Heyi's response was filled with guilt.

"Mint, you should know about our... uh, let me talk to everyone, how about it? Anyway, don't go."

Mint gave Jiang Heyi a cold look, seemingly quite displeased.

That look made Jiang Heyi's heart tremble.

"Pfft~~"

Suddenly, Mint pointed at Jiang Heyi's nose and burst into laughter.

She flipped over and landed lightly, circling around Jiang Heyi: "Hehe, just teasing you, Potato's reaction is quite amusing."

Jiang Heyi's fists inexplicably hardened upon realizing he had been tricked.

“However, I really want to go back to Anna,” Mint said. “I’m ready.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Heyi asked, "Rene is very strong, are you confident?"

“There’s no such thing as absolute certainty in a duel, especially with Renee.” Mint took a deep breath. “I just feel like I’ve got myself into top shape.”

Jiang Heyi looked back at Kexia.

Kesha sighed softly, "Only the person experiencing the condition can perceive it. Since it was Mint who made the judgment, all we can do is trust her."

He took a deep breath.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"If possible, get up in the next couple of days."

Without a doubt, this was triggered by Mint's storyline after she reached a certain level of strength.

Jiang Heyi nodded vigorously: "Okay, we'll go with you."

Mint is more important than grinding experience in the Tower World.
