T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 416, page 415. Opened.

During the few days when the boundary between reality and illusion blurred, I watched a lot of the performances of Chinese guilds.

While there are some random entries that are good, like those that are quick and easy, it's the first time I've seen entries like "Jailer Bro" or "Four Primitives" using laser swords to cut down primitive people.

A single, instant kill, without any visual impact.

It's said that the later ones appear are the heavyweights, but Yolanda hadn't even officially unveiled the mystery of blood magic yet, and her skills were still in the works, when she was blasted into dust.

Perhaps what the jailer said at that moment was right.

"I've worked so hard to build this snowball and gather all this equipment, not to play house with you."

Second by second, the most exciting moments are etched into the DNA of most gamers.

However, the impressive agility displayed before the opponent's attack deserves applause.

The four original bodies touched their noses somewhat embarrassedly, suddenly becoming the most eye-catching person in the guild, a rather novel experience.

Jiang Heyi patted him on the shoulder: "Still able to fight?"

"We should be able to take down another one in a second."

The turret fired with confidence.

The prison guard squatted down on the spot: "Host, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Finn the Earthshaker, the namer of the Earthshaker squad, is also the highest-level member of the squad, at level 38.

The level of monsters that refresh on each floor will fluctuate between -5 and +10 levels from the average level of the player's team, with a small probability of encountering monsters outside this fluctuation range.

The jailer left disappointed, his expectant gaze fading.

This is a half-wolf woman, with obvious wolf-like traits. Her whole body is covered in fluffy, bluish-gray fur, which swirls in the soft light as a breeze blows by.

He was over two meters tall, with thick arms and legs, and bright green eyes.

Even experienced adventurers would be terrified if they encountered such a situation in the wild.

Three of her companions had died, yet her face showed no joy, anger, or sorrow; she simply stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, she swept over the crowd at the boundary between reality and illusion, then went straight to the point.

"you come up."

"Stop looking, it's you, golden elf."

French Fries' relaxed mood slowly tightened. She suppressed her smile, leaped up, and jumped to the center of the field.

"Baji~~"

On the ground where the prison guards and the four original beings had ravaged the area, there were still some indescribable sticky and fishy things left behind, which she crushed with one stomp.

The atmosphere did not ease because of this little incident. Finn, the wolf girl, looked at her prey with great interest.

French Fries stretched and, oblivious to everyone else, started flexing his wrists, preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Why choose me?"

Finn replied without hesitation: "You are the strongest."

The fries looked surprised, then burst into laughter.

Before the magic circle on the field could rise, she turned her head, pointed at herself, and boasted, "I saw it, the enemy's approval."

The jailer egged him on: "Why don't you give it a shot? Why can't you be the strongest?"

Jiang Heyi clicked her tongue and glanced at him sideways.

"As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

"Forget it, what am I supposed to say to you, you're destined to be single forever."

The harm caused by the first half of the sentence is not even a fraction as great as that caused by the second half.

The jailer wanted to argue, but the words caught in his throat as if a bucket of water had been poured over him.

He makes a very good point.

As the bell rang to signal the start of the match, the two figures in the center of the field vanished simultaneously.

Two beams of light, one red and one gray, intertwined.

The sound of striking metal was clear yet deep, and the blade vibrated and hummed.

After several flashes, orange-red sparks burst forth in mid-air like fireworks.

Its speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what ordinary people could perceive with their naked eyes.

Finn the wolf girl had no weapon, and her claws, as hard as metal, remained unharmed by the slashing of the Mad Wolf Blade.

"Ding ding ding~~~"

The frequent clanging of metal echoed throughout the arena, and two shadowy figures tumbled and trembled, only revealing their solid body outlines slightly during the brief pauses when they changed positions.

It looked like two wisps of mist were wrestling together, leaving afterimages.

As expected, the strongest one appeared last.

Finn didn't use any special magic or skills; relying solely on his physical attributes and explosive power, he managed to fight the French fries to a draw.

The jailer and the four original bodies had some doubts.

If I had encountered this wolf girl, I probably would have had all the stats but couldn't hit her and there would have been nothing I could do.

The host was shouting his lungs out to describe the intense battle, but he was always a few beats behind. Embarrassed, he kept wiping his sweat and eventually shut up to let the audience enjoy the show.

It was unclear how many times the two had clashed, but the lingering sound of their hammering faded away, and the two stood on opposite sides of their respective positions.

French Fries glanced at the Mad Wolf Knife, which showed no signs of wear, and nodded slightly.

A good knife; excellent for high-intensity combat, with an exceptionally good feel.

Previously, I always used a sword, so it was very easy to learn and master.

Finn was also examining his claws—several obvious notches and cracks in the nails were clearly visible.

"What an amazing weapon."

"Is it just that the weapons are powerful?"

"Humans, barely passable." Finn sneered. "That was just a warm-up. I haven't even gotten serious yet. Didn't you notice I didn't use a single spell?"

The fries retorted, "Did I use it?"

Finn frowned.

The battle was intense and focused; looking back now, I realize that the fries were actually fighting against her using their own strength and skill.

How did an elf manage to keep up with a werewolf in terms of burst speed and reaction time?
"Thanks to you, I have a clear understanding of the new weapon and my proficiency has improved," Fries said in a deep voice. "Now, I should try out the skills."

Bloodlust erupts, and a crimson gust of wind swirls around the fries as they rise.

A bone spur suddenly sank into the ground from Finn's large hand.

Centered on the bone spur, the earth shook and the ground cracked and churned, as if a colossal creature beneath the earth had been awakened from its slumber and turned over.

The movements are stealthy, and the casting speed is as fast as lightning.

Finn used this move to defeat countless mages; the moment her center of gravity shifted due to the change in terrain was the perfect opportunity for her to strike and kill.

"Chi~~~"

The crimson within the field of vision grew rampantly like the vines of a poisonous plant, taking over every corner.

She only saw a flash of red light, followed by a tingling and numb pain in her neck, and then a bone-chilling cold surged from her spine and spread throughout her body.

That's the body's instinctive warning before danger strikes.

Compared to that red light that had stolen all the colors from his world, it was still too slow.

Finn reached out and pressed her hand against his neck. The slight touch caused the slowly seeping blood to gush out, then surge forth like a roaring river. She suddenly understood what the chill gushing from her spine meant.

Her lower body was paralyzed, and she could only slowly turn her blood-mist-filled eyes to stare at the golden-haired elf who had walked up to her.

He calmly and composedly sheathed the knife.

"Why so fast?"

"My abilities are superior to yours."

"You look so pampered, with delicate skin and tender flesh, you don't look like someone who has worked hard to train. How can you be so strong!"

Finn tried to roar, but his voice was hoarse and shrill, like the howl of a demon.

"Effort?" Fries shrugged. "You call the stats and skills I'm so proud of effort?"

The wolf's claws reached forward, but she brushed them aside.

With a slight movement, Finn's body was severed from its head and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The whole place was silent.

Even at the boundary between reality and illusion, it took two or three seconds of stunned silence before they snapped out of it and cheered loudly.

Their excitement and enthusiasm, however, could not energize the audience and the announcer in the Colosseum.

The strongest member of the Earthshaker Adventurer Group... is dead?
Wasn't it a back-and-forth affair at first? How did he suddenly die?

This was true within the game, and the audience outside the game wasn't much better off.

The enamel mug couldn't help but touch its neck.

It was as if the slicing of the fries had shattered a dimension and taken his head.

Xue Shui Chao Mian said, "She's testing her opponent's strength, and it seems that this isn't her limit yet."

Zooming in on the enamel mug, a look of utter boredom did indeed flash across the French fries' face.

"No wonder people always say that French fries are the perfect match for the Berserker class; it's well-deserved."

On the first day of my return, I effortlessly conquered the 5th and 6th floors.

The strategy for finding the fifth floor is through BabyBus, but we'll leave that aside for now.

On the 6th floor, the enemy's level is significantly stronger than that of the Reality/Illusion Boundary, yet they couldn't even be forced to use their full strength. They're not even worthy of being used as a whetstone. What kind of combination of attributes and gameplay can make them frown in the Reality/Illusion Boundary now?

“I’m starting to agree more and more with the community players’ descriptions,” said Xue Shui Chao Mian. “Every time the boundary between the virtual and real worlds is broken and disappears, it’s like a cultivator going into seclusion for tribulation. When they come out of seclusion again, their combat power inexplicably increases, unlike humans.”

"If I didn't know the background of Candlelight, I would really think they were shills for the game company."

Ignoring experience, 2570 points—this is the reward obtained at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds after the 6th layer settlement.

The first five levels were time-consuming, laborious, and painstaking, barely managing to score 330 points, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered after the settlement.

The difficulty of the Chaos Celestial Sphere entries and the gameplay of each floor have corresponding coefficients. The higher the difficulty, the more points players can obtain.

I knew there was a chance of a huge points explosion, but I didn't expect it to be this big.

"Congratulations on successfully clearing the 6th floor of the Chaos Tower World. The shop has been refreshed for free." Xi Lu reminded everyone, "The shop's offerings will refresh after each floor is cleared, so please keep an eye on the shop's stock to avoid missing out on good items."

Before, I barely had a few dozen or a few hundred points left, and just looking at the items in Xilu's shop made my wallet hurt.

Holding 2900 points, I suddenly felt a sense of joy, like a nouveau riche entering the city, at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The first refresh of the store each day is now free, but the second refresh requires 50 points.

Currently, the only item in the Evening Dew Shop is the Advanced Shield Regeneration Potion with the prefix "[Tower World]". After use, players will receive an additional shield that protects against damage on the next floor.

As long as it isn't pierced by a massive amount of damage in one go, it can continue to recover.

Worth 100 points.

Is it just an illusion? The prices of these little gadgets seem to have dropped.
Tea Goddess Time is here! As she personally presses the refresh button, the items in the Sunset Dew Shop are updated.

[Shop Upgrade]: 600 points
"After purchase, the Sunset Shop will expand, increasing the total amount of goods in the shop and enriching the variety of products, providing players with more choices."

This is good stuff! As expected of you, Tea Master!

After confirming the purchase, the Yulu Shop instantly refreshed with three new items.

Two items were occupied by the slow-recovery potion, which is practically useless at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, and the remaining item was surprisingly a shop upgrade.

"2100 points, confirm?"

"confirm!"

In the blink of an eye, 2700 points vanished into thin air. The boundary between reality and illusion clung tightly to the Tea God, staring intently at the projection of Xi Lu's shop.

The Mysterious Little Shop of Evening Dew has been studied by players both at home and abroad. The items it offers are essential for those who want to climb to the higher levels of the Tower World.

Knowing how to quickly acquire high-quality items is crucial.

Cramming through high-difficulty dungeons is undoubtedly the fastest way to earn points, but not every player can do it as easily as the player in the game, spending thousands of points in the blink of an eye.

The storyline has returned, and with a single move, they've caught up with many top guilds who are still striving to reach their predetermined goals.

"Wow, you beast! Five consecutive uses of the Rejuvenating Potion!"

The jailer couldn't help but curse as he looked at the props on the projection screen.

Yuu-ro's level 2 shop can display 5 items at the same time.

The woman in the blanket shrugged: "I understand that feeling. It's like when you spend money to draw cards, and you only get one purple card after 10 pulls, and the other nine are all white cards."

"No, it's even worse than that. Five consecutive recoverys are equivalent to ten consecutive losses," Zhong Zemo complained. "Who needs these recovery potions?"

The enamel mug and the snow water fried noodles, who were watching the game, exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Yes, many players need it!
The shop upgrade at the boundary between reality and illusion was swift and decisive, leaving countless teams around the world agonizing over whether to exchange their meager points for slow-return shields, slow-return mana, or slow-return healing.

The Tower of Trials levels are basically limited by the items you bring, and there are no magic potions to fall back on, so many players are constantly on the verge of dying.

Calling someone "father" won't bring you flustered support; only a slow-recovery potion will tell you the truth.

There are too many fallback options at the boundary between reality and illusion. On one hand, there's the avatar of Goliath, whose Golden Word spell is invincible. On the other hand, there's the Jailer's Origin Element - Water, which provides shields and slows down the healing of injuries, making slow-recovery potions useless.

"Some are dying of drought, while others are drowning in floods," the two sighed softly.

The boundary between reality and illusion is played out like a speedrun version of Stellaris.

Orange Tea pointed to the store projection: "There's an option to freeze items here, but it costs 100 points."

The jailer scoffed, "It's to prevent the items you want from being refreshed and taken because you don't have enough points. It's barely humane."

This conversation made the enamel mug shake its head with a wry smile.

The 100-point freezing item is something they've been watching for a long time, and only powerful guilds like Orange Sky, Funny Tree, and Khorne can afford to spend it without feeling the pinch.

In a normal team, are 100 points considered points?
No, that's their fate!

This world is indeed diverse.

Having experienced so much anxiety and struggle during this period, watching the game at the boundary between reality and virtuality now brings a sense of inexplicable ease.

They always move from one victory to another.

"Refresh it," the jailer said. "Tell me in your mind, 'I want the shop to upgrade.'"

"Oh." The Tea Master readily complied, closing his eyes and clicking on the projection.

With a flick of her wrist, the orange tea projection changed.

The first item that catches the eye is the [Shop Upgrade], which requires 5000 points.

"No, it's open?" The enamel mug, who had been hanging out with young people lately, suddenly uttered a new term. Pointing at the orange tea, he said, "Look at her, she can upgrade her shop just like that, right!"

Is it possible for humans to get whatever they want?
