T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 606, Section 605: Hagiron Shut Up

Braised oxtail, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour shrimp balls, taro with braised pork belly, crab roe, crispy chicken...

Jiang Heyi and Moyu placed the dishes on the table one by one, while the others helping them muttered to themselves.

"She loves this."

"Hmm, she loves this too...hehe, I love it too."

Squid laughed in exasperation, then asked Fries to tap the blanket's nose and said, "What dish don't you like? Have you ever been a picky eater?"

"What? You think I'm the one who's greedy because your food is delicious? Who told you to make it so good!"

His confident assertion left the squid speechless for a few seconds.

"Stop fooling around. Don't keep making Mint suffer. Now that we can finally take care of her, hurry up."

The potato stuffs the fried "main body" into the French fries—this is a special little cooking session.

The four prototypes used the same technique they learned from Scarlet Music Box when they were making mushroom soup.

This is the best dish he has ever made. Mint loves it, Nongya loves it, and they eat it four times a week. They eat it like French fries, never getting tired of it.

"Potato, things are going a bit strange right now. Mint Mom is coming after us directly. What's next?"

Jiang Heyi wasn't entirely sure either. He guessed that the ruler in the sky, facing high ping latency and interference from the shattered turbulence of the Anaworld, was also feeling quite anxious.

The reason for emphasizing the need to have a chance encounter with Mint in Windy City is essentially a role-playing activity.

In the game "Boundary Between Reality and Illusion," everyone plays themselves as they first enter the game and encounter Mint and others, retracing the optimal solutions that have appeared in the game.

The ever-changing spawn points make the possibility of a perfect replica extremely low from the start. The Overlord's emphasis on adaptability is to preserve any one of the key apocalyptic sages' paths.

The future is unpredictable, but existing experience can provide a sense of security at the boundary between the virtual and the real world.

Jiang Heyi chose to stick to the paths of Mint and Renee for a reason.

Whether it was the resentment of sworn enemies or the resonance of the strong, history has proven countless times that their fates were closely intertwined.

Maintaining stability on one line is equivalent to gaining two lines.

Not to mention, Mint herself is involved in many things.

The metasequoia, Renee, Dussel, and the demon of the Great Snow Mountain are all connected in some way.

In orthodox history, Mint also indirectly participated in the battles between Anna and the Fallen Star Sea, and her personal experiences spanned Anna's chaotic and collapsing history.

Originally, when everyone met in Windjammer City, they could more or less follow the routine and repeat their experiences in the game as if acting.

Naturally, the relationship develops, quickly transitioning to the stage of the innocent child and the knowledgeable "mother".

It's unknown how useful it is, but it's better than nothing.

After two or three months of intensive training, a portal was opened, and the journey to Devilland took place. In the year 36 of the Kurien calendar, they gained powerful combat capabilities.

The jailer changed everything.

None of their involvement in Anna's history was as direct and violent as a single erotic image.

"Things have come to this point... there's no need to pretend anymore, let's just take it one step at a time."

Jiang Heyi let out a long sigh.

French fries also let out a long sigh.

"I'm also looking forward to showing off my acting skills; it's been a long time since I've switched between different personas."

After falling in love, she thoroughly enjoyed the sticky, gooey tomato fries mode.

Jiang Heyi was pleased to see her taking the initiative.

She would suddenly attack from behind, hug him, cling to his back and refuse to get down. After a while of wrestling, she would naturally snuggle into the blankets.

The haughty posture of frozen fries?
It's nice to occasionally buy some new clothes and have a little fun with him; seeing him in that "braised potato" state makes it worth the price of admission.

Mint walked into the restaurant, and the long table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes that made her dizzy.

The nouveau riche nature is on full display; there are so many dishes, it would be a miracle if they could finish them all!

Cuttlefish thoughtfully brought her a plate and cutlery: "These are all your favorites, try them."

"You're saying this so definitively, as if you really know what I like to eat."

As soon as the painting was finished, Mint felt uneasy.

No need for tailoring clothes that fit her perfectly.

Bath products that suit her preferences.

She had never seen any of the dishes before, and she couldn't even tell what kind of meat they were.

"Hey, how good can it be?"

……

……

"Mmm, delicious, delicious."

"Why does it taste so good...it's sweet and sour."

"I love this! I love this too!"

Even if Mint doesn't say it, everyone can hear her inner monologue from her actions.

She hadn't had a proper meal in so long, so she wandered around the long table, picking up pieces of food here and there.

At first, I planned to have some bean bread as a staple food, but after discovering that I could also get full from meat, I found the knife and fork too troublesome and started using my hands instead.

If she hadn't felt the stares of those around her, she probably would have continued this audacious act.

Perhaps it was because I had experienced too much unpleasantness in just a few short months, but as I ate, my nose started to sting with a sour feeling.

"Hmm, have some of this."

Elaine, who had been watching from the sidelines, quietly took her seat and forked a piece of braised pork into Mint's bowl.

Before Mint could even be surprised by the "snake maid's" audacity in acting so recklessly at her master's banquet, she heard something even more shocking.

"Did you know that in order to get the meat in your bowl, they started looking for ranches more than a year ago, asking them to help raise carefully selected pigs, and castrating them at the appropriate age to remove the fishy smell?"

Elaine smiled knowingly.

"It's all because they know you love to eat." The people watching the Mint food vloggers stopped chewing.

Mint also looked up in surprise.

"They've been preparing for your arrival for a long time."

Silence fell over the scene.

Having finally received the mint from the boundary between reality and illusion, Elaevi could no longer hold back.

She couldn't see through Mint's true nature, nor did she understand what was so strange about this albino witch whose magic was so weak and who would likely shatter at the slightest touch in actual combat.

Based on their performance across Anna, these seven players could become prominent figures anytime, anywhere if they wanted to.

But their doting on Mint was sickeningly sweet.

Elaevi felt that if she were in Mint's position, she would have to obediently respond when called "Mom".

Come on, let's uncover all the secrets!
Mint wasn't stupid to begin with. Elaine only nodded once, and considering what had happened tonight, her expression immediately became complicated.

"Why...why are you all so kind to me?"

"You people aren't actually true Anna nobles, are you?"

The coolness of the bath soothes the brain, and the mint flavor gradually returns.

Even the most approachable nobleman could not tolerate her outrageous suggestions without any limits.

French Fries nudged Jiang Heyi with his elbow.

The others also turned their gazes toward him.

The butterfly's wings were flapping wildly, and Elaeva was still fanning the flames.

The direction of the plot and the future trajectory rest in Jiang Heyi's hands.

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath and chuckled with relief.

"Our meeting was like a fateful encounter. Because of you, we spent a wonderful time together. Everyone here came together because of you... well, there were other factors too. Anyway, we came together."

"It was such a happy memory, a carefree summer, an unexpected adventure, and a series of good luck."

"Mint...we've accompanied you for a very long time, exploring half of Anna's scenery together."

"I have also traveled to other continents and fought against powerful beings that you cannot even imagine now, facing life and death on the brink of death."

"We rode dragons together and challenged endless towers."

"Dive into the deep sea and witness the wonders built by the sea monsters."

"Excavate the underground palace and witness the circular network laid out by underground creatures in the deep caves."

"Venture deep into barren lands and defeat the mountain-like metal giants hidden within the ruins..."

Whether in the early stages of Proof of the Stars or in the later DLCs, she has always been a constant presence by the boundary between reality and illusion.

Mint's mouth was slightly open.

The more Jiang Heyi talked, the more confused she became.

Every word was like a murmur from someone trapped in a dream.

She was certain that her 16-year-old life could not contain this magnificent experience.

But she could read the sadness on the faces of the seven people in front of her?
It's as if she has forgotten, discarded, the memories she once shared with them.

It was as if she was the one who had let everyone down.

Mint clutched her head, breathing rapidly.

It felt as if lightning had struck her mind.

Beneath the white lightning, fragmented images writhe.

“Don’t think about it, it’s not the right time yet… We just hope you can understand,” Orange Tea stepped forward and expertly rubbed her cheek, “We were friends, we are friends now, and we will be friends in the future.”

French Fries smiled: "It should be more than friends, after all, we're willing to risk our lives and enter this messy place for you guys."

Tetramorph smiled bitterly: "I gave up my beloved, you know."

Mint's eyes welled up with tears.

She really couldn't remember a single thing.

I vaguely sensed that deep in my memory, a sealed door was shaking violently.

“This is ridiculous…” She pursed her lips, her voice choked with emotion, “How could a witch like me, who just dropped out of school, be worthy of such strange talk from you?”

"You are the best potion master in Anna!"

Elena exclaimed anxiously, "Tina is the best!"

Jiang Heyi glared at him fiercely: "Hakilong, shut up!"

Mint trembled as everyone unanimously approved of her.

Her mind was still foggy, but one thing was certain.

Although the seven people are a bit strange, they... really like themselves.

"Can you let me calm down?" Mint pleaded. "I... still don't understand, but I can sense what you mean."

She touched her head: "I don't know why... you remind me of my mother, the dawn redwood."

Jiang Heyi knew that this was already the best possible outcome, and any further explanation would only backfire.

Let's maintain this tacit understanding of mutual trust until the day the Devland Passage is opened.

Elaeva listened in a daze, but then she caught a loophole.

"Apart from me, there are no more dragons left in Anna. Where did you find dragons to ride?"

She was stunned and bewildered by the gazes of seven eyes.

"Me?" Areravi laughed angrily. "I'll turn into a dragon and let you ride me? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wait……

"You mean... I also appeared in Mint's story?"
