T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 484, Section 483: Echoes of the Old Era
Once everyone was online, Mo Yu immediately prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for the NPCs in the guild.

Alone Better Together.

After a few experiences of assisting in battles, everyone in the guild gradually became more settled.

Especially the Kesha.

When I saw Jiang Heyi today, she became "sticky" again, actively coming over and wrapping her tail around me.

Last night's challenge, level 17, was a standard lawn-cutting tower defense level.

This gave Ksha's magic machine gun a real treat.

Once the power of words was activated, her little mouth chattered incessantly, and the enemies not far away were reduced to ashes.

Like a husky that's been kept at home for too long and hasn't been taken out, it runs around wildly, playing to its heart's content and laughing unrestrainedly.

He looks exactly like a standard villain from a shonen manga.

"What about Elena? Isn't she eating?"

"If she comes, we won't get a share."

With that, the Slime King flicked his hands, sticking them to the two skewers of mutton and sucking them into his skin, enveloping them with a pleasurable groan.

No matter how many times I see slimes eating, I always find it a delightful sight...

Since Gloria and the Ghost Rat were unable to eat normal food in their spirit form, Jiang Heyi specially traded some elemental essences for enchanting so that they could absorb them.

It is said that when one consumes elemental energy in a spirit state, one can taste many flavors that the physical body cannot perceive.

When eaten with a mixture of earth and grass attributes, and with a little light added, it can taste like meat.

The combination of dark and hot flavors creates a stimulating spiciness.

It feels like some kind of obscure little-known knowledge that might come in handy after time travel.

"Boom~~"

The entire guild headquarters shook.

Almost at the same time, everyone thought of the same place.

Deep within the mine, in Eleravie's workshop!

A violent tremor suddenly erupted from the depths of the mine, causing rocks to tumble down the walls. Then—

"boom!!"

When everyone arrived nearby, there was another explosion.

The pack animals that were working inside the mine were startled and ran away. They found the Slime King and rubbed against him frantically, seeking a sense of security.

These precious darlings that make money for the guild are injured again, causing the Slime King to feel sorry for them and quickly spit out green saliva to help heal them—the ability to switch forms and become a mobile healer is extremely convenient.

A third loud bang followed immediately.

Blazing white dragon flames, mixed with metal fragments and rubble, erupted from the tunnel entrance.

The blast wave lifted nearby ore piles several meters into the air.

Amidst the billowing smoke, a massive, dark shadow slowly rose, its scales still flickering with embers.

"Ahem. Success!"

The explosion forced her to transform back into a dragon, and Arera's dragon eyes shone brightly in the smoke and dust.

She gripped a crimson staff tightly, its shaft adorned with lava-like patterns.

“Origin Element - Fire.” Aleira coughed, black smoke and sparks billowing from the corner of her mouth. “The energy was too violent, I couldn’t control it, but, it worked, cough cough cough.”

As she was speaking, she sneezed violently.

It felt like stepping into a shower room, with the showerhead hitting our faces, leaving everyone soaked.

Amidst a series of disgusted "Ughs," Ksha, using its racial advantage, collected the water element.

"Ok?"

In the blink of an eye, the staff in Arela's hand disappeared.

"Where are the weapons?" Fries asked.

As she transformed into human form, Arelavi raised her right hand, displaying the glove with flowing dark red lava patterns.

"During the forging process, I discovered the plasticity of elemental energy and tried to forge it into a dual form."

"I was very fortunate to have found the right way."

"You only need to resonate with it to switch between the staff and gloves, adapting to the situation."

The four Primarchs took over the weapon they had longed for.

He's only changed his weapon once since the server opened, so he's really had a great time.

The item description is unusually concise.

"Burn you to death!"

Similar to the Origin Element - Water, it grants three fixed blessings plus one selectable blessing.

It's basically four fixed. Anyway, at the boundary between the virtual and the real, apart from the idiot Jiang Heyi, everyone has been using the "Flying Wind" skill since the server opened.

Feel is more important than life itself!
【Origin Element - Fire】

High-level Fire Elemental Protection: Fire elemental magic has difficulty harming you, and upon being hit, you have a chance to absorb elemental power and form a shield.

This seems to be a unique attribute bound to all Origin elemental equipment, granting near-immunity to specific elemental magic; the water elemental also has the same one.

Elemental Burst: Fire elemental agitation! All friendly units within range will receive a bonus to elemental magic power, and the wielder's fire elemental magic power will be greatly enhanced.

Upon closer inspection, the Primarchs discovered that the bonus effects for friendly units were not limited to fire element, which was incredibly versatile.

Origin Drive: Movement speed is greatly increased, and for the duration of this effect, players will not be affected by physical limitations.

Gain the possession of the Little Fire Elemental Lord, enhancing all types of magic without paying any mana.

The drive ends, Origin Element Fire enters cooldown mode, and the equipment becomes ineffective.

Holy crap, it's dead!

The phrase "unaffected by physical strength" and "0 magic power" stunned everyone.

It's equivalent to overdrawing the continuous output and defense effects of equipment in exchange for a burst of damage with an extremely high ceiling.

It's a perfect match for the turret build of the four primitives.

Elaevi yawned loudly: "I'm going to sleep now. Come back to me when you find the new elemental core."

After saying that, she lay sprawled out in the crater left by the explosion and fell fast asleep.

That's the good thing about dragons; they're incredibly adaptable to their environment.

The four Primarchs can't wait to go into the dungeon and try out their new gear.

Before that, there was one more important thing to do at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds. The heavy guild chest was dragged into the Tower World's preparation room.

Out with the old, in with the new. Since it's Chinese New Year, it's time to sell the guild dolls that were collected from trash.

After the Guild Tower was globalized, the idle guild dolls suddenly had a new job.

Everyone went out to pick up trash!
Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Garlic Sprouts and other dolls, the Scavenging Messengers painstakingly filled two boxes with props, awaiting Xi Lu's appraisal.

In addition, there was a box of "clear composite ore" produced in the mining area.

Originally, the raw ore was only something that Orange Tea could use for fun, to gamble, to farm rare materials, and to trade items with merchants. After the Tower World was created, it also became a commodity that could be sold.

As soon as the world bubble was activated and players flooded in, they witnessed the scene of junk traders trading at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The most excited people at this moment were none other than the top guilds from various countries.

Their guild base construction is nearing completion, and the huge upfront investment has caused considerable financial strain for many.

If selling junk can recoup their losses, they will not hesitate to invest all their remaining resources to speed up the completion of the project.

For green materials, Yulu gives between 5 and 20 points.

The purple material is slightly better, with the score fluctuating between 20 and 100.

Garlic Sprouts and other dolls, covered in dust and dirt, spent several days searching and only earned 650 points.

This was only because Xilu was being very humane by rounding it up to a whole number—it really did look like she was collecting junk.

According to Garlic Sprouts, obtaining purple materials takes longer and requires fighting special monsters.

That was a mechanic-controlled area that players couldn't access, only puppets could enter, so Jiang Heyi and his group couldn't observe the specific situation.

However, seeing that they always came back either injured or filthy, it was clear that without the enhanced doll items given by Freya, they would likely have suffered a setback.

The prison guard said, "It sounds like a dispatch, but there's a practical skills test. If you're not strong enough, you'll be kicked away and won't even be allowed to lick the trash."

"It sounds like a combination of idle mobile game and search, attack, and retreat..." The Four Primal Bodies found it hard to contain themselves.

The virtual-real boundary layers 16 and 17 yielded 3800 and 3000 points respectively.

Adding the original 22400 points and the 650 points from selling small trash items, the total points have reached 29200.

Now all that's left is ore.

Xi Lu held the clear, complex ore in her hands and examined it carefully for a while.

She squinted her eyes: "Not bad. There are 120 portions of raw ore here. I can give you 6000 points."

"What?"

Xilu emphasized: "The exchange rate for raw ore points is currently 1:50. Shall we trade?"

The players were stunned.

Can resources produced from guild strongholds be sold for such a high price?

6000 points is equivalent to a death sentence!

The restless top guilds from various countries have all left the live stream.

Stop watching, go all in!

Produce base resources in the shortest possible time.

The Tower of Trials is already halfway through; if you hesitate any longer, you'll miss out entirely.

Even the first person to try the concept of the boundary between the virtual and the real was a little confused.

They never expected the raw ore to be so valuable.

Through the wandering merchants, they now possess 10 pack animals.

It can produce 20 portions of processed raw ore per day.

Therefore, they don't need to do anything; they can earn 1000 points simply by mining.

Orange Tea hurriedly said, "We still have several hundred tons of raw ore; we can exchange them all!"

French Fries shook his head: "No, those were produced before the Tower World was created. Without the Tower World prefix, the evening dew cannot be collected."

Yulu nodded: "So, are you selling it?"

Of course it's for sale!

Instead of spending so much time and effort clearing two levels of the lawn mowing challenge, which yields low scores, it's better to sell raw materials.

Capital, you win.

The level 6 items that were previously locked but not purchased can now be obtained from the store.

The guild effects changed the moment they were unlocked.

Jiang Heyi, as the president of the association, received a system notification.

The number of NPCs assisting in the Tower World battle has increased by 1.

Unlock advanced and higher-tier tower global purchase options.

The spectators were so tempted that their mouths were watering.

The more NPCs who assist in battle, the lower the difficulty of the Tower World.

Floors 16 and 17, the two grass-cutting floors, feature K'sha and the Slime King respectively on the boundary between the real and virtual worlds. Both are formidable figures who can stand alone and steadily rack up battle points.

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds has now reached 42nd place on the ladder rankings.

Ahead are more than 30 top guilds conquering the 18th floor of the Three Domes.

A select few elites have reached the 19th floor.

And, the only guild to conquer floor 20, Fuxianmen.

Only two more steps remain to reclaim the glory that belongs to TOP1.

Jiang Heyi said, "Xi Lu, open the 18th floor."

With the Lunar New Year approaching, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could make Chinese players even happier?
Yuu-ro transforms from a bunny girl into a nun wearing a black veil and eye patch.

The jailer exclaimed eagerly, "I really like this!"

Sigh, you like them all...

She clasped her hands together, as if in prayer.

"Tower World, 18th Floor, Randomization in progress."

"The challenge that the boundary between the virtual and the real is about to face is..."

"Critical Challenge: Echoes of an Old Era"

The smiles that had been beaming on the faces of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion froze instantly.
