T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 482, page 481: An Encounter in Another World, Enjoying Delicious Food~~
The candlelight was fully aware of Zhifeng's suspicions.

Even Chen Shaoyu was curious whether the rapid outbreak of critical instances in the Three Kingdoms Lands in a short period of time was related to Xi Lu.

After all, from a probability standpoint, it seems very strange for all the accidents to happen on the same day.

"Yulu is merely a personified data, a guide rooted in the Tower world model, or in your words, code. It has no inclinations or attributes."

The candlelight flickered.

"If they run into them, they're just unlucky."

The 16th and 17th floors of the virtual-real boundary were randomly selected. They are tower defense challenges of relatively low difficulty, similar to the difficulty of the 5th floor.

Players in the Three Realms generally need to progress one level per day to have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

Currently, the top-ranked Fuxian Sect is stuck on the 19th floor due to the difficulty of the challenge, unable to move forward.

The rapid rise in points has caused a stir in the domestic player community.

They definitely came from behind and surpassed each other.

From being completely unknown to being second to first, after activating the Celestial Sphere mode, they witnessed every victory on the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The misfortune of the Three Domes Land has created an opportunity for the boundary between the real and the virtual to overtake each other.

Thinking about how the boundary between reality and illusion had extended to the other side's house, and then thinking about Zhifeng's frustration at being powerless due to the rules.

It turns out she also had a New Year's gift, which was personally given to her by the Stars.

She could burst out laughing just by glancing at what the Star Gazing Sect was doing.

……

……

At this time, the land of the Three Domes is neither in front nor behind, and there are no festivals.

The Star Gazing Sect, who struggled and barely managed to pass the test in the game, finally found their place outside the game.

Since receiving guidance from a master and abandoning the unrealistic dream of competing in the game, their lives in reality have suddenly become smooth sailing.

Very busy, really busy. Everyone is operating at high speed. Even if everyone had multiple people, they still couldn't keep up.

They couldn't find any chickens that could be slaughtered in 30 to 40 days among the population.

However, with the revival of spiritual energy, they found out that chickens could survive for about 60 to 80 days.

These chickens are mostly wild pheasants. Some farmers discovered them and tried raising them for their own consumption.

The news was confirmed to be true. The Star Gazing Sect made a large-scale acquisition, spending half of the first pot of gold they had earned from various sects.

The expert described a basic version of a bubbly soda drink, complete with pictures and text. They collected a lot of materials and created a basic version.

It has a slightly sweet taste and a hint of grassy smell, but after being chilled, filtered, and settled, many of these impurities are removed.

When properly prepared and served with ice, it truly has a unique flavor.

At this time, the junior disciples of the Star Gazing Sect, who were originally in charge of pills and herbs, were racking their brains day and night.

According to the expert, to obtain a high-level version of "soda," there is a key ingredient that requires experimentation with alchemy and medicine.

Those were purely byproducts of medicine making.

Unfortunately, the disciples of the Star Gazing Sect were foolish. After trying for several days and dozens of versions, they still couldn't find a clue in the herbal medicine refining process.

Junior sister Wu Sitong timidly made the suggestion.

"Perhaps we should ask an expert for more details?"

Li Furan frowned.

When a master imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts, individual comprehension is the primary factor.

He believed that spiritual cultivation and practice revolved around "spirituality," and that the wise men did this intentionally, offering guidance without revealing the full meaning, so that they could hone their skills.

This behavior might make even the most learned people sigh that the Star Gazing Sect is not striving for progress.

"If a master were that kind of person, they wouldn't have divided the points equally when they cleared the game, taking less for themselves," Wu Sitong muttered.

Li Furan was reminded of something and realized that he was probably being too persistent, so he decided to ask him a few more questions that evening.

The Star Gazing Sect has now embarked on the right path.

However, it is not the righteous path that the masters of the past envisioned.

"Qilin Pool, oh, isn't this the group of men and women who challenged the mushroom? How have things been these past two days? Any progress on the strategy?"

"I need 50 fried chicken sets and 100 ice grass sodas for delivery. Oh, it's a long way, you'll have to ice them up for a while when you get back to the sect."

Wei Shen seemed to be born to be a waiter. He spoke in a servile and obsequious manner and had a cheerful personality that made him able to take a flying sword in the face without breaking his skin.

Those who intend to humiliate the Star Gazing Sect by humiliating Wei Shen will ultimately only end up with themselves full of resentment.

Looking across the entire Three Kingdoms region, he was quite an oddball.

I don't know how the Star Gazing Sect let him into their sect back then, and I can't see anything special about him in terms of cultivation.

This quick-thinking fellow was the first to discover the greatest value of the Guanxing Sect in the catering industry.

Normally, players go about their own business after nightfall and stay in their own sects during the day.

The Star Gazing Sect's opening of the main dining hall, taking advantage of the trend of joining in the fun, actually attracted the group of cultivators who were locked at home, single-mindedly focused on climbing the ranks.

"Since the experts asked us to help collect game information about the various sects, why can't we do it offline?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just encourage them to exchange information here?"

Wei Shen told Li Furan about his clever idea, and Li Furan then told the "expert" about it.

People on the edge of reality and illusion on Earth were shocked.

So the people of the Star Gazing Sect are so efficient; not only are their initial plans on track, but their routes are also generally on track.

Are you planning to exceed expectations and complete the assigned tasks perfectly?
Agree, must agree.

The Star Gazing Sect was their outpost for obtaining firsthand information about the Three Realms Land, and it was also a thorn in Zhi Feng's side.

It must be developed!

Thus, under the guidance of the people at the boundary between the virtual and the real...

The senior disciples led by Qilintan were about the same age as Wei Shen.

He glanced at the signboard standing not far away and thought for a while.

"Is it true? You can get half price just by reading it aloud?"

"This offer is only valid for a limited time, so don't miss out!"

Wei Shen rubbed his hands together with a smile: "I hope that while everyone is fighting in the Tower World, you will continue to support our Star Gazing Sect's business."

“We are all practitioners of the Tao, and we cannot abandon our integrity just because we have switched to business.”

"Brother Ge, are you going to read it or not? There are people queuing up behind you waiting for half-price tickets. If you're so hesitant, just go to the next counter to pay."

Wei Shen coughed and reached for another open-air checkout window.

The young man, addressed as Senior Brother Ge, blushed and discussed the matter under the eager gazes of his fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother Wei... let's make a deal."

"There are no rules announced in private, otherwise what are we supposed to do about the people who followed the rules before?"

"..."

Senior Brother Ge took a deep breath and walked to an open space to the side.

Raise your hands above your head.

"Everyone, look at me! I have something to announce!"

Many sects, already aware of what was about to happen, stared wide-eyed, with some even taking out props like memory scrolls.

"An encounter in another world, enjoying delicious food!!"

The junior students from Qilintan happily stepped forward to receive their takeout.

A group of people were overjoyed.

When a person is about to die, they turn around and just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Senior brother, it's alright. It's half price, you've saved the sect money."

"That's right, you take the first bite."

"My senior brother gets to enjoy two fried chickens all by himself."

As it turns out, if a person is willing to go all out, then the bottom line can be lowered continuously. Brother Ge quickly obtained both mental and physical solace by paying the high price of 5 fried chickens.

At first, Li Furan wondered if these high and mighty cultivators would do something so shameful for a half-price discount.

As it turns out, experts are very accurate in judging people.

What about those who cultivate the Tao?

If the bigwigs in a sect enjoy offerings, then the people below don't need to eat?

These senior disciples are the most sought-after by the disciples. If they can't handle these kinds of things, how will they lead the team in the future?

Take this fried chicken, for example. It's nothing special, but a shameful slogan can really show who can get along with ordinary disciples and who are those rich young masters who can't even act.

More importantly, as shameful as it is, the speed at which it spreads is truly astonishing.

Ever since someone shouted the first cry on the first day, all the major sects of cultivators have known about it and have come to join in the fun.

This unexpected turn of events put the stage set up by the Star Gazing Sect to good use.

After receiving the fried chicken, the people from Qilintan did not leave immediately.

Senior Brother Ge led his men to wander around the Star Gazing Sect.

Nowadays, the Star Gazing Sect during the day has become a place for exchanging game information.

Most of the top-tier information about major guilds comes from here.

"The people from Black Spirit Lake have also graced us with their presence?"

"How's your battle with the Yeti going?"

"Ge Wuqiao, are you here to make fun of us?!"

"Look at your tempers! We were beaten up by the mushroom-like men and women, who do you think you are to laugh at?"

Upon hearing this, the angry group from Black Spirit Lake exchanged glances and sighed.

"This yeti is absolutely bizarre."

It is called a Yeti, but it is actually a siren.

It comes with a special countdown mechanism from birth.

The countdown is over, and the Yeti's life is coming to an end.

In other words, players only need to stall for time to win.

But in actual combat, it's a completely different story.

You cannot fly a kite from a long distance.

Once the kite is flown, the siren's innate power will be triggered.

Any race that tries to outcast a siren will understand the difference between a revolver and a semi-automatic rifle.

But if it comes to close combat...

He came through the wind and snow, the cold wind seeping into his bones, and frost covering the player's limbs.

Black Spirit Lake, a fully armed and at-peak level paladin, was torn apart by a broken shield.

It wasn't pierced by brute force, nor corroded by magic, but rather like a fragile piece of thin ice, disintegrated from the inside by a chill that transcends the laws of physics.

The Yeti, or rather, the siren disguised as the Yeti, did not use any ice magic at all.

It simply walks.

With each step, the moisture in the air spontaneously condenses into icicles.

Like a frost-covered carpet laid out by the subjects for their king.

The howling wind is a mourning song sung by the subjects for their dying king.

Elemental mages could not sense any elemental traces, yet they clearly witnessed ice magic taking shape.

He was so old that he could barely walk, and every step he took was unsteady, but the wind and snow trapped everyone in his final moments before death, making it difficult for them to escape.

The visual impact was so powerful it seemed to leap off the screen; even after they woke up, their backs were still wet with sweat.

This power, which was almost like a decree to control magic and manipulate all elements within the area at will, greatly shocked them.

Perhaps, cultivators after the revival of spiritual energy will eventually reach that point as well?
Another person joined the chat.

"Hmph, we've already decided to use points to skip levels."

"Oh, Senior Brother Li Xiu from Longzi Mountain Sect, I've heard so much about you."

Li Xiu sipped his iced soda, shared the fried chicken with his junior brothers, and kept a large bucket of fries for himself.

As far as they knew, this former cultivation genius, who was once on par with Li Furan, was a big fan of French fries.

I've been eating French fries for every meal lately.

The recent acquisition of land belonging to the Guanxing Sect was driven by the sect behind him.

“Our situation is even worse than your Black Spirit Lake. That guy can block our magic, leaving the average person in the team with only weapons and fists.”

"While we're fighting, it switches to a state where we can only use magic, over and over again. How am I supposed to play like this?"

Initially, most of the Taoist sects who came to watch the play were too shy to speak.

Their sense of superiority, stemming from the fact that everyone is above others, prevents them from talking about the trivial things that happen when they suffer setbacks in the game.

Asking is winning.

Don't ask why you won; there's no change on the leaderboard. You just won.

Asking follow-up questions is impolite.

The appearance of the critical instance made all the sects and players active in the Three Kingdoms Land aware that four unlucky guys had encountered a tough opponent.

Their natural complaints then sparked a conversation among everyone present.

Everyone said something to me.

It started with complaints, followed by tentative exchanges of information.

Each sect has its own reservations, so they cannot reach a consensus as quickly as they have on Blue Star.

However, the stage was already set up, and there was nothing else to do at the Star Gazing Sect besides eating fried chicken and fries and drinking soda.

Some sects, being far away, simply sent a team to be stationed around the Star Gazing Sect.

Within days, land around the Star Gazing Sect was snapped up.

Most Taoist sects value their reputation. Even those considered heretical or evil in the secular world, in the current environment, have no choice but to obediently pay money and abide by contracts.

The "Immortals" stipulated that bloodshed and private duels were prohibited during the Tower World Challenge, and all grudges must be put aside.

This made them all back down.

This really gave the locals a little shock—these high-ranking figures actually followed the rules?

Li Furan took in all these changes.

Standing atop the alchemy tower, hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the bustling mountain gate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Sometimes, a single thought can revitalize stagnant waters.

Wu Sitong appeared behind Li Furan, carrying a thick stack of letters.

Li Furan curiously picked up a card: "This is..."

"Wei Shen mingled around today and gathered all sorts of information, including information on various high-difficulty tower world dungeons and challenge details."

"In addition, he also used several servings of fried chicken to find out exclusive tips and tricks."

Li Furan was stunned.

They gave it to me so easily?

"It was Senior Brother Wei's sharp tongue that pried it out."

"Screen and organize them, then send them to the expert tonight."

“We haven’t given a gift to a master in a long time, so this is just the right time.”

The Star Gazing Sect agreed to help the expert keep an eye out for information, but their previous inquiries within the game were extremely inefficient.

Now, they can simply lie at home and a constant stream of news from around the world will fly to their lips, ready to be enjoyed as soon as they open their mouths.
