T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 573, Section 572: Humanoid Strategy - Jiang Heyi

The letter can be summarized in just two sentences.

Stay put, use magic to recover, and prevent further damage.

He is currently scouting several key locations to prepare for the future, and will immediately travel to Kekeli to meet up afterward.

The letter was written entirely in the familiar Chinese characters. If something went wrong during delivery, the people of Anna would be completely baffled.

The four primitives instructed Old Tok.

"Give this gentleman 30 Lion King Silver Coins."

The merchant captain hurriedly waved his hand in refusal, claiming it was just a small favor.

Old Tok had seen this kind of scene many times before, and he forcefully stuffed it into the other person's pocket.

Jiang Heyi is currently a genius with exceptional talent at the Imperial Academy, but this identity will undergo some minor changes after the summer vacation.

He might not use the information channels the traveling merchants used later, and there was no specific instruction in the letter, but Siyuanti believed that multiple channels meant multiple paths.

Why not make a small amount of money so appealing to profit-driven businessmen that they'll remember the benefits?
Summer and autumn passed by in a flash.

The lingering warmth of the blazing sun was drained away overnight.

When the first wisp of frosty morning wind swept across the city walls, Kekeli City seemed to have been wiped of color by some invisible hand, becoming pale and cold.

Braving the bleak wind and feeling the chill on his shoulders, the visitor knocked on the door of the governor's mansion in Kelinan District with just a few words.

The tetra-propaganda and the quilt were overjoyed.

"Now someone's making dietary changes!"

Jiang Heyi, who arrived late, introduced Bonnie to the two of them.

Upon learning that she was actually a member of the Temple of the Clarity from a hundred years ago, Beiwo was quite surprised.

As the maid took Bonnie away to change into new clothes, she couldn't help but say.

"You've thoroughly mastered history; you can even find these minor, insignificant figures."

Determining the location of the Corruption Tribe is a brilliant move. Landing in any area and immediately figuring out how to speedrun through it, collecting all the necessary items, requires multiple playthroughs to be considered a pro.
Could they have already reincarnated several times, but Jiang Heyi just awakened earlier?

Jiang Heyi waved his hand: "It's just a coincidence."

The Tetramorph asked, "Where have you been all this time?"

Jiang Heyi rattled off a list of locations like a menu, some they remembered, others they had never heard of.

The Primordial Ones were surprised: "Didn't you say that it's best to find a safe spot after landing and not move around?"

“Plans are plans, and changes are changes,” Jiang Heyi said. “In the early stages, we are too weak and the risks of our actions are too great, but I also have strategies to avoid those risks.”

The person in the blanket clicked their tongue in amazement: "You're at level 3 now, and your mental magic is so monstrous that you've already swum across half of Anna?"

"I've hired someone."

By disguising his identity and translating books and documents, Jiang Heyi accumulated start-up capital.

After Bonnie's loyalty was maxed out, he used the information channels circulating among merchants to filter out major events and locate Kekri City before the summer vacation ended and his student identity might be exposed.

With the initial capital, Jiang Heyi hired a group of adventurers who had been selected before the arrival of the empire.

These people have only one characteristic—an exceptionally high sense of morality.

A very special anomaly among the diverse group of adventurers.

You don't need to remember their personality or get to know them deeply; just give them money and praise their character, and you can basically win them over.

After all, Jiang Heyi only needed temporary bodyguards.

"But you still haven't said what you did with these bodyguards?"

"These things were recycled."

As he spoke, Jiang Heyi emptied the contents of his backpack onto the table.

The first thing that catches the eye is three old, yellowed scrolls.

He picked up a sheet from under the covers and started reading it.

“Irela…” Her eyes suddenly widened, “Irela Vi… Could this be…!”

"The 'Promise Scroll' that Eleravie and the witch Tina Loris buried out of boredom is the prototype of the item in the game that allows Eleravie to complete her training 100% successfully."

The Four Primal Bodies picked up a copy and couldn't help but mutter, "You've gone on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land."

“Windpod City is the holy land. This was just a preliminary plan, collecting necessary plot items in advance to make it easier to trigger the event,” Jiang Heyi said with a smile. “Anyway, no one will discover these four copies 35 years ago in the Kurien calendar, so I took them all.”

"Now we have a starting point to get in touch with Eleravia, who is the most difficult person to reach."

Jiang Heyi shook his head.

The woman in the quilt was taken aback: "Isn't this a good opportunity to get started? This is a memory they both share, a famous wish-granting opportunity in history!"

"In the game, there are two things that shocked Elena. First, we have a space beyond their comprehension, which we use as a guild base. Second, our strength is enough to provide her with a large quantity of rare materials, allowing her to refine frying pans and readily sign a contract of servitude."

After a pause, Jiang Heyi continued, "But in reality, we don't have the magical guild strongholds like in the game, and many rare materials in the game only appear after the story progresses, while others are given to us as rewards in the game, so they have no reference value. Therefore, we need to find substitutes ourselves."

"Of course, the ideal situation is to get it all in one go, make a trip to the Temple of the Clarity, and get the Origin Element."

The Four Primals said with difficulty: "But the Overlord said that the distorted time path leading to a hundred years ago does not appear in every cycle."

"So we can only prepare for two scenarios: make money and stockpile materials that she might be interested in. At the same time, we also need to find out about Devland and understand their current situation."

She murmured as she held up the object in her hand: "What is this shiny scale?"

The scales shimmered with iridescent light under the lamp.
“The scales that Queen Mirror shed during her walk on land,” Jiang Heyi explained. “She buried them in a secluded flower field as a travel souvenir, and I dug them up.”

"That sounds like some kind of perverted behavior," the woman in bed clicked her tongue.

Jiang Heyi sighed, "This is in preparation for the Great Snow Mountain storyline. We don't have the Gluttonous Incarnation. If we follow the original timeline, dealing with Kesha won't be a problem. But how do we convince her and bring out the Fallen Star Siren?"

"Are you trying to achieve your goal indirectly?"

Jiang Heyi nodded: "If we can't recreate the storyline of Kexia under the Great Snow Mountain, we'll use these scales to open the door to the Fallen Star Sea."

Even the sound of being in bed makes me feel tired.

Although she tried hard to memorize things before she arrived, including combat skills, magical knowledge, and humanities, geography, and history, when it came time to use them, it was like being in an exam hall—her mind was a complete mess.

Jiang Heyi had crammed so much information, yet she still managed to systematically filter and organize it, creating a self-made strategy guide to prepare for a speedrun three years later. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

After learning about their experiences, Jiang Heyi felt quite sorry for them.

He didn't suffer much after landing and entered a safe zone, smoothly passing through the most dangerous phase.

Both the tetrapod and the bedding were a bit moldy.

An elemental mage starts by confronting a major historical event head-on, facing the plague of beasts right from the start.

Another landing in an uninhabited area, a wilderness survival "wild man" mode.

"Is there any news from anyone else?" the Tetras asked anxiously.

Jiang Heyi shook his head.

"I haven't seen any other major historical events change." He rested his chin on the blanket, his lips pursed.

"I've experienced it myself during this period, and shield countermeasures are very difficult to implement in reality... Squid, please don't rely on path dependency and accidentally send it."

Jiang Heyi comforted him, "In your eyes, is he such a stupid person?"

"Hard to say."

"Actually, I'm not too worried about Cuttlefish and Fries. You know the strength of a martial artist's landing. Even I can fight alongside seasoned adventurers. Just imagine what it would be like if Fries landed?"

The two looked up in unison, their minds filled with the gruesome image of a bloodthirsty French fry, covered in ketchup, crawling out of a pile of corpses.

Humans are the root of all problems; if you kill all the people, the problems will disappear.

Before the arrival of the fries, in response to everyone's nervous teasing, this is how French fries comforted them.

No problem!

This is not meant to comfort!

In the end, there were as many as five physical training instructors for French fries.

Without exception, they were all top experts who dominated their respective sides. They marveled at the fries, each radiating the joy of having found a treasure.

Given that in the world of Anna, those without magic have a very low social status, so Fries underwent advanced training as a magic warrior.

In the early stages of her arrival, she might still be wielding a knife and gesturing at people.

Once you get past the initial stage, it's all about using a knife in one hand and a fireball in the other to tell you, "I don't eat ketchup."

The Four Primordial Bodies said, "It seems the only problems are with the jailer and the tea master."

Jiang Heyi nodded: "Yes, one of them is a necromancer, and the other is a three-in-one faction of summoning, beast taming, and healing. They both need magic to be effective."

He swallowed hard, then suddenly became worried: "You have experience in life-or-death battles, will you be alright?"

"I'm not too worried about the Tea Goddess; she's very composed. As for the jailer..."

After getting together with the Tea God, the jailer brother wasn't as lively, but that's only relatively speaking.

Reducing life experience beyond the age of 30 might be a good thing, a way to control variables.

But for the jailer, nothing changed.

What control variable is there? Has it ever changed?

Jiang Heyi rubbed his temples, got up, and drew back the curtains, letting the stubborn warmth of the sun shine brightly into the somewhat dim room through the dark clouds.

He gazed at the bustling streets of the Keklinan district in the distance and spoke slowly.

"Worrying about them is useless; let's do what we should be doing now."

The woman in bed asked, "For example?"

"Making money," Jiang Heyi said. "This isn't a game where you can just dump goods on merchants and get gold coins, or run dungeons and get tons of hard currency. We need to accumulate some wealth so we can act in three years."

The Primarch tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "What's your plan?"

"How much power and influence do you have as the Southern District Governor?"

“Brendan entrusted me with managing everything except the tax collection,” Quadruple asked. “He’s an old-fashioned nobleman, with a strong sense of justice and pride. He’ll be very upset if I abuse my power for personal gain.”

“Doing this would easily ruin this hard-won stronghold. I won’t touch it unless you tell me,” Jiang Heyi said. “What I want is the part related to the Adventurers’ Guild.”

“Then I can speak for myself. This part was originally established by Brendan to maintain stability and reduce security expenditures. You can just consider the vast majority of adventurers in this area as outsourced workers who risk their lives.”

After a pause, the Primal Body added, "It's very difficult for ordinary people to make a living. You don't want to compete with them for every grain of rice between their teeth, do you?"

Jiang Heyi sighed and said, "How did I end up as such a despicable character in your eyes, making sacrifices to save the world right now?"

The Primordial One covered its face and apologized: "Sorry, after serving as an archon for a while, it feels like I'm back to my old job. You know, my boss is a beast."

Jiang Heyi said to tap her head lightly.

"In the forests and valleys bordering the northwestern border of the empire and various ethnic groups, there are not only monsters and beasts, but also a large number of bandits and robbers who make a living by plundering."

"A two-faced person who uses the guise of an adventurer to do despicable things in secret."

"An irregular slave smuggling ring."

“Those involved in these illicit activities naturally need a suitable place to store their money; they can't carry it around with them, so…”

The woman in bed exclaimed, her eyes lighting up: "Treasure!"

Jiang Heyi nodded with a smile.

"You managed to remember all of this?"

“I’ve memorized part of it, but it’s enough.” Jiang Heyi looked at the Four Primal Bodies. “I need you to put on a show.”

Night falls.

Brendan returned to the manor after a busy day of city construction.

He had planned to finish his chilled fruit wine, then summon the maids to enjoy their graceful dance, followed by a relaxing bath, but the butler barged in at the most inopportune moment.

Without drinking or eating, Brendan stared at him with raised eyebrows, as if to say, "You'd better have something important to say."

"My lord, old Tok has been robbed."

Brendan frowned: "That butler from the Four Primarchs?"

"Yes, they said he was beaten up on the way back to the city and was covered in bruises."

"Who did it?"

"The Knights of the Order of the Peace failed to catch him, but he himself said he was a robber. All the items he purchased for His Excellency the Consul, as well as the remaining money, have been lost," the butler said. "The other party probably saw the Consul's document and spared his life, not daring to go too far."

Brendan was furious.

"Right outside the city, within the patrol area of ​​our Knights of the Order of Peace, the governor's confidant was forcibly robbed. If word gets out, what will become of our city of Kekri?!"

Brendan grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, pacing back and forth.

The steward hurriedly said, "His Excellency the Consul has already apologized to you."

"What crime is he apologizing for? Is it wrong for him to be robbed?" Brendan laughed in anger, waving his hand. "Tell him to go and find the culprit. Don't let those bastard nobles laugh at me, thinking I'm on their level!"

Having received Brendan's instructions, Jiang Heyi and the other two exchanged knowing smiles.

The next morning, the Four Primals issued a high-value bounty on the Adventurers' Guild, seeking the capture of the culprit.

Jiang Heyi spent the whole night organizing all the information he could remember into a scroll.

By occasionally dropping some bombshells, they can guide adventurers to hunt down and defeat monsters that attack people, heinous criminals, and extremely wicked adventurers who betray their companions.

And they can also hide in the crowd and stealthily hunt down the treasure.

After clearing out the regional scum, the adventurers received their bounties, the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds gained start-up capital, and the security of Krikri, under Brendan's management, improved significantly.

A win-win situation for all, and a bright future for everyone!
