T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 669, Chapter 668: Stealing Half a Day of Leisure

To avoid any unexpected recurrence, the boundary between the real and the virtual, and Rainbow Rain, after their "honoring" experience at the Falling Star Sea, chose to return to Fragrant Breeze City.

This location is relatively close to the capital of Anna, making it easier to deal with any unexpected problems immediately.

Under Jingxin's interrogation, Jiang Heyi readily admitted to his relationship with Kexia.

At this point, whether or not it's acknowledged makes little difference; Ksha has already cleared the French fries dungeon.

In other words, the fries agreed.

As long as you make the fries happy, it's normal for them to cling to Jiang Heyi and lick him—this guy is comparable to the prison guard in some habits.

It wasn't described in Proof of the Stars that Cassiopeia's tongue was so flexible.

Of course, her chubby big tail is equally impressive.

Just because Fries casually mentioned that "it looks better with a tail," Ksha insisted on keeping this feature, which was quite inconvenient for her to move on land—even though it meant that she needed to constantly expend magic to moisturize her scales in order to move smoothly.

But, well, it was the fries who spoke up.
Jiang Heyi had a vague feeling that the speed at which French fries had domesticated... or rather "guided" Kesha was astonishing.

"So, I haven't been able to develop any followers in this past year?"

Now that everything seems to have settled down, Elsa's thoughts have become active again.

The Clear Ones are now reduced to four: her, Alna, Deep Green, and Bonnie.

Restoring her former glory is a long and arduous journey. Her first step is to find suitable seedlings on the continent of Anna, cultivate them, and then transplant them to Devilland to grow.

"Just be patient a little longer, it's only a year," Jiang Heyi comforted her. "We've been through so many storms, there's no rush, right?"

Elsa thought about it and agreed.

They were all people who could never return to Devilland, and they would be content as long as the name of the Clarity could once again resonate in the ears of the world.

Interestingly, Sloan has been quite active ever since everyone settled in Jailer's manor.

Thiago and Bertrand both "self-destructed," leaving him, third in line, with a bright future ahead and already regarded by many nobles as the next ruler of Anna.

When Jiang Heyi left Falling Star Sea, Jingxin specially prepared a Falling Star Sea specialty for each of them, Kurien and Sloan.

The two gifts, one corresponding to Anna's current emperor, and the other corresponding to what is self-evident.

This busy man, who has recently been receiving special education from his father and slowly learning about the trump cards left behind by Kurion, reappears at the same time every day without fail in the prison guard's Fragrant Wind City mansion.

Aside from the "works of art" that he always commissioned, and the meals he would inevitably eat and drink at Jiang Heyi and Moyu's place, what he did most was chat with Alna.

Something's not right; 9 out of 10 points are wrong.

The first two can be considered must-eat items at the boundary between reality and virtuality.

The prison guard's erotic pictures are a must-read.

This potato and squid dish is so filling, you absolutely have to try it.

Arna's appearance in this scene is quite abrupt, and if we were to offer a reasonable explanation for this abruptness...

"I get it, so Sloan likes women..."

Orange Tea reacted quickly, covering his mouth at just the right moment and cutting off the word "ghost" that was about to escape his lips.

What an oblivious idiot!

Sloan was a sensitive person with a strong sense of emotional purity. At this moment, the calm lake in his heart was unusually rippled. A casual, inappropriate remark could make him completely shrink back into his hard shell.

"Just focus on drawing. If you keep talking, you won't get anything to eat!"

The tea god issued a divine decree that all blasphemers would be unable to taste the unforgettable flavor.

The jailer licked his lips and instantly became an honest man.

Elsa, who had witnessed the whole thing, asked in a low voice, quite puzzled, "Why was it Alna?"

It wasn't that she felt Alna didn't deserve to be liked, but... in her spirit form, she was inevitably surrounded by a somewhat eerie and cold aura, which was far from the "beautiful" image in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Do you think Sloan is the kind of guy who lacks beautiful women around him?" Jiang Heyi bluntly retorted.

After Thiago and Bertrand were eliminated, many nobles felt that Sloan's position was secure and were vying to promote their own daughters.

Many of those pampered, high-status, and beautiful young noblewomen are captivating enough to charm people with their looks alone.

Sloan didn't gain any advantage whatsoever; he barely even dabbled in daily social interactions, and could even be described as avoiding them altogether.

If I had to say what was special about Alna to Sloan…

It's probably something like she bit someone to death in front of Sloan, removed her makeup, and even saved his life.
"Let's just wait and see how things develop among young people."

Squid lay on the recliner, enjoying the cool breeze blowing on its body as the blankets puffed out its cheeks, humming contentedly.

The woman pinched the squid's cheek and said, "You make it sound like we're all old folks."

French Fries glanced at Kesha, who had witnessed the whole thing from a short distance away and was eager to try replicating Jiang Heyi's style, and shrugged helplessly.

“We are indeed old, but the Overlord has cut our experience into smaller segments, which makes us appear young. In reality, we should be second only to Hagiron and Kesha, right?”

The Four Primal Bodies rarely uttered a sound, but instead hummed: "Since you're young, you should be more energetic and stop saying such old-fashioned things."

He paused, then added, "Except for potatoes."

Henilakai, who was eating barbecue and watching the show, came over and nudged the Primarch with his elbow, almost knocking him to the ground.

Why are potatoes an exception?

The four primordial beings steadied themselves and explained succinctly: "He overworks his brain. The more a person thinks, the more complex their mind becomes, and the more they resemble a senile old man in temperament."

Jiang Heyi sighed: "Then it seems that the prison guard is the opposite of me. With his mental state, it's not difficult for him to stay young forever."

Even the Lord of the Underworld, when examining the prison guards' experiences, would likely marvel at how consistent they had been from childhood to adulthood.

purely!

After Dussel's death, Jiang Heyi unraveled many mysteries.

For example, the little secret of the potion recipe that was kept hidden before.

When Mint's mother learned that the recipes Jiang Heyi gave her were all masterpieces he had improved after becoming a master, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

No wonder she felt a strange sense of familiarity and warmth when she first came across these formulas, as if an innate instinct had been quietly awakened.

It turned out to be my future self, who had crossed the torrent of time, stretched out her arms, and steadily supported her as she climbed.

Either way, it's a puzzle to solve, so Jiang Heyi asked the fries to write down everything they still remembered.

Unable to go out for a whole year, let's stay home and let Mint Mom tinker around.

As long as the mansion isn't blown up, everyone can sleep under the open sky.

In the normal game progression, towards the later stages of Anna's storyline, both Mint's mother and Renee reach level 7, approaching level 8.

In reality, due to the uncertainty of running along the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, both of their combat abilities are far behind those in the game.

Even though there is no longer any security threat, she is still "Mom," so it's necessary to give her some good food and help her speed things up!
"What? I get some too?" Renee was stunned by the generous giveaway of fries.

“Anyone who is a sage of the end times will have a share,” she explained. “These are all methods that you have discovered on your own in the cycle, purely indigenous knowledge.”

This made Kesha and Hagiron uneasy.

"What about us?"

"You don't have it."

"But you just said that even the wise men of the apocalypse will get a share!" Hajiron kept repeating, "What about mine? What about mine? Give me some, give me some!"

He looks exactly like a child asking for candy.

French Fries spread his hands: "What you're strengthening in the cycle is your innate power. Hagi Dragon's physical body is very strong, and its magic power is even more vast and boundless. Ksha, your Word of Power can instantly cast two kinds of magic at the same time. There's no way to learn that."

Kesha was alright, but Hagi Dragon's tail transformed into a broom, stirring up waves of dust on the ground.

French Fries retracted its previous slander against the Mage Tower.

The question of whether Elerave should be considered an adult or a minor in the Mage Tower is still a topic worthy of discussion.

It's hard to imagine how Tina managed to coax this child, who was pretending to be an adult, into becoming mature.

For Gloria and her Sunrain team members, improving their strength is no longer their core concern.

Having experienced the thrilling adventure at the Temple of the Clarity, a journey that teetered on the brink of life and death.

Especially after learning that without the intervention of the boundary between reality and illusion, they were all destined to die, everyone's views on life and death underwent a complete baptism and reshaping.

The thrill of adventure and the exploration of the unknown are wonderful, a desire etched deep in the soul.

But now, I can sit peacefully in the sun-drenched courtyard, chatting idly with my friends, watching the sun rise and set, the clouds drift and gather, feeling the gentle breeze on my face, and listening to the lively sounds coming from the kitchen in the distance...

This simple yet authentic flavor is equally intoxicating, and perhaps even more precious.

But now, every morning, when they wake up from their peaceful sleep, they can always hear the sounds of potatoes and squid busily cooking in the kitchen.

The steam rising from the stove, mingling with the original aromas of various ingredients, gradually spread throughout the air.

Before long, an even richer, more enticing aroma will fill the entire courtyard, making those who are washing up involuntarily swallow their saliva and head towards the dining table with anticipation.

At this time, people would sit around the long dining table, their stomachs rumbling, and pick up a steaming hot, unusual steamed bun called "baozi".

Carefully biting through the soft outer skin, feeling the hot and delicious broth burst in their mouths, the rich flavor of the filling assaulting their taste buds... they would always feel an indescribable, pure sense of satisfaction and emotion welling up from the bottom of their hearts.

Living with potatoes and squid means you'll never have to worry about food.

What to eat—this is a world-class problem that every living being in any world has to struggle with, but when it's handed to these two, they always come up with a perfect answer.

Every journey has a destination and an end.

Sunrain, from the Age of Adventure, always felt that the journey should be endless, never-ending, until one dies in battle or grows old.

They never imagined that one day, with the help of another group of adventurers, they would find the peace they longed for deep in their hearts.

And it applies to everyone.

“I said, potatoes…” Vanassis hesitated, “Now that everything has settled down, the ruler has descended, are you going to leave?”

The campfire crackled, and the flickering sparks faded away in the night breeze.

The flickering flames illuminated the group sitting around, and the sizzling, oily skewers danced on their tongues.

This should have been an ordinary day of enjoying rest since entering silent mode, but a question caught the attention of everyone outside the boundary between reality and virtuality.

The laughter and noise suddenly stopped.

It was just like when Jiang Heyi was in school, the noisy self-study class would suddenly fall silent.

"If the world of Anna has been repaired, the Overlord believes we should return it to the people of Anna... that's probably it."

Kesha, acting as a misting device to spray water onto the skewers in the fries' hands, suddenly looked up, and the misty "raindrops" sprayed all over the fries' faces.

She didn't even have time to apologize; she just stared nervously at Jiang Heyi.

The jailer sighed.

"We are just passing through, after all. It is enough that we can create a miracle of restoration together with everyone."

Seeing everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion pursing their lips with an expression that seemed to say, "Isn't it all fine?", Golia gritted her teeth.

"The ruler is far too heartless."

Henila Kai, always outspoken, retorted, "What do you mean 'give it back to us'? Without the potatoes, you risked entering the loop; it would be a miracle if Anna could be fixed!"

“Exactly!” Plata exclaimed excitedly. “Since world consciousness no longer exists, we believe you are natives of Anna, so you are undoubtedly locals!”

Elsa was speechless, she stopped chewing the meat in her mouth, and looked left and right.

Right?
Could it be that the ruler she knows is not the same group of people who know the boundary between reality and illusion?

In her memory, these beings from another world were very kind and easy to communicate with.

He actively advised her against using forbidden summoning spells and offered suggestions for her magical studies. During their conversations, he would occasionally make witty remarks and tease her.

unreasonable?

That's totally wrong!
Seeing the barely suppressed smiles on Potato and French Fries' faces, Elsa suddenly realized.

"Wow, is it really that fun to play tricks on us? They're practically ready to denounce the Overlord!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Rainbow Rain immediately realized what was going on.

"Don't worry, the rulers are all very good-tempered and have stable emotions. They probably won't take it to heart even if you scold them to their faces," Jiang Heyi explained.

French Fries added, "Not entirely, for example, your teacher."

“Oh, you can’t say anything bad about Vanessa in front of Teacher Sayer, or something terrible will happen,” Jiang Heyi emphasized. “That’s the only exception.”

As expected, the conversation turned to the Overlord.

No one would be uninterested in an alternate world where a being powerful enough to intervene in the destruction of another world.

only……

While they were chatting enthusiastically, the jailer looked around and realized that one of the "ghosts" was missing.

"Where's the ghost?" he muttered to Orange Tea.

“You went to see the moon with Sloan…” Orange Tea stared at him, “You’re not allowed to go to the bathroom, and you’re not allowed to move around.”

"Wow, am I really that bad a person?"

"Yes."
