T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

It was a player, and his tone was unusually urgent: "You made a deal with him?"
Jiang Heyi suddenly felt a little guilty: "What, could it be... that we shouldn't have made the deal?"
"Ah!" The player exclaimed in disappointment, "I'm too late, I'm too late..."
After inquiring, Jiang Heyi learned that starting from the third day after the game's launch, [Shadow Coin] would appear in various scenes of Fengjia City while holding up a sign.
Regardless of the quality of the materials you trade, it will always put the Heart of the Treant on the list. Through this action, it has become a player with a small reputation in the Stars of Proof community.
The Proof of the Stars has indeed become a second life for players. Some run dungeons to fight monsters, some pursue life skills, some engage in role-playing, and some even create performance art here...
Chapter 31 I will announce the temple's coordinates to the entire community!
When not investing in any games or planning strategies, Jiang Heyi would choose to browse the trading markets frequented by other players.
In reality, he feels too much pressure and does this when he's in a bad mood.
Walking into a large supermarket, strolling among the dazzling array of goods, looking around, even without buying anything, you'll feel your emotional energy gradually recovering.
Doing this in the game is mainly to understand the current situation of the game community, since places with a high concentration of players are never short of information.
"Oh, Potato, you're here too."
The jailer was also there, chatting and laughing with several unfamiliar faces that Jiang Heyi didn't recognize.
Upon seeing Jiang Heyi, he immediately apologized and ran over.
"An acquaintance of yours?"
"We're not familiar with each other," the jailer denied. "We just met a little while ago."
"You're so happy to have a chat with someone you've just met. You're truly amazing," Jiang Heyi remarked.
"Hey, we can always find something to talk about. It's bound to start a conversation." The jailer waved his hand. "If you want to join, I can take you."
"No thanks, I'm afraid it'll be awkward and the conversation will fall flat."
"With me here, is this even possible?" The jailer's eyes widened, as if he felt insulted, and he pulled Jiang Heyi to prove himself.
"By the way, did you get any interesting information from chatting with so many people?"
Jiang Heyi timely brought up the topic, thus avoiding being publicly executed by this social terrorist.
That's a perfect match for my major.
"I didn't see anything about the guild fight in the community last night."
"That war of words between [Barrel Water God Luo] and [Dream Master]?" Jiang Heyi remembered. "I even saw you stirring things up in the post."
"You actually know what my ID is?"
Damn, the jailer is about to bathe his feet and sneez; who wouldn't guess the recognizability of this ID?
"As expected of you, you really understand me."
If possible, Jiang Heyi wished she didn't know so much.
"In short, [Dream Master] lost." Jailer Bro chuckled. "Both sides invested heavily in materials to upgrade to level two guilds, with a full complement of 20 people, but Shinra was able to overpower Dream Master and beat them up."
"If Shinra had an advantage in equipment or level, that would be one thing, but everyone is really about the same, so there's no excuse at all."
"The outcome was rather ugly. They were forced to the edge of the conflict zone; one more step back and they would be eliminated, resulting in a loss for the [Chosen One] guild acting as referee. Even so, they played the coward, choosing to retreat defensively instead of charging forward with any backbone. And the result was..."
The jailer shrugged and said, "I was killed by 10 magicians washing me to death from a distance."
"Although it's cosplay, I think the people from the Khorne Chosen Guild gave it a very good evaluation."
"How did you evaluate it?" Jiang Heyi asked curiously.
"coward."
Ah... Although it's straightforward, the fact that they'd rather be a coward than take a gamble, combined with the guild's name, makes this assessment quite fitting.
"I thought it was some big guild, but after checking, it's just a gathering place for five scraps. It's kind of funny."
A sarcastic voice came from behind.
Jiang Heyi didn't realize at first that the other party was talking about him, but the prison guard's radar went off, and he immediately turned around to look for the enemy.
Upon seeing the panel, Jiang Heyi immediately understood why these three unfamiliar random players had suddenly started arguing with them.
The person involved has arrived.
The jailer wasn't intimidated at all: "Damn, the big guild [Dream Overlord], they're going crazy in other people's recruitment posts on the official community, and now they're going to meddle in what other people are discussing in the game?"
The surrounding players stopped trading and started watching the show.
"How well we played is none of your business to judge?" The members of Dream Overlord were already embarrassed by their crushing defeat, and the jailer's exposure of their shortcomings made them even more furious.
"I didn't make any judgment. 'Coward' was the word 'Chosen of Khorne.' I just recounted what happened tonight to my friend. What did I do wrong?" the jailer asked cheerfully.
Jiang Heyi was a perfect mouth double; he didn't need to say a word at all. The prison guard made the other person sound like a red-hot shrimp in just a few words.
The onlookers could all see that the Dream Master had lost too badly tonight and couldn't save face, so he decided to find a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, he picked up a master who didn't utter any vulgar words, but whose every word could precisely break through people's defenses.
Knowing they were completely in the wrong, the three dream masters angrily said, "You just wait," and stormed off.
Back at the guild, upon learning that Jailer Bro had been arguing with someone, Original Fries clicked his tongue.
Jiang Heyi said, "They said we're a guild of scraps."
"When did your mouth become so clumsy? Can't you even spew insults?" Plain fries scoffed.
The jailer shrugged, as if to say, "How can you blame me for this?"
Is it all my fault?
Orange Tea was a little worried: "We're not going to be targeted, are we...? I've heard some gaming news before."
Jiang Heyi could roughly guess some of the game news that Orange Tea knew.
What usually goes viral are battles between whales (players who spend real money on in-game purchases) and massive brawls involving hundreds or thousands of players, while ordinary players are just cannon fodder, filling in the gaps in the game.
In this kind of game, ordinary people who offend big spenders will definitely have no gaming experience at all.
However, in the game "Proof of the Stars," spending money doesn't make you stronger, it only makes you prettier, and third-party spending is strictly prohibited.
If I had to say, among all the games Jiang Heyi has played, Proof of the Stars has the smallest initial gap between players.
It's like giving every player who enters the game a chance to start over from scratch.
"See you tomorrow, everyone." Orange Tea waved as the notification sound accompanied it.
"See you tomorrow, let's see if the shameless witch can bring us any surprises."
Although they said it was shameful, everyone was full of expectations for her work at this critical moment when a breakthrough was urgently needed.
……
……
The watermelon shumai is going crazy.
Her team suffered madly on the first floor of the Clear Ones' underground temple for a whole night, a whole night!
With the Frog-Head Stitches and the Word-Spell Siren teaming up, if you're lucky, you'll be discovered a while after teleporting; if you're unlucky, you'll be eliminated as soon as you land.
Overall, there's not much difference; it's just a matter of whether the squad dies sooner or later.
As for resistance...
The team's biggest achievement was successfully stabbing one of the frog-headed stitched monster's eyes before it entered its magical state, causing it to bleed profusely.
But this only makes it more violent and serves no other purpose.
As for the attack on the Word Spirit Sea Monster, it was completely ineffective.
How can one counter a monster that has no casting animation and can kill without a sound, even with just a soft murmur? Watermelon Shaomai racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.
"There must be a way to get through. Five people can cross the boundary between the virtual and real worlds. That doesn't make sense!"
Without any precedent, Watermelon Shumai would be certain that this was a dungeon that they couldn't access at their current level.
But Jiang Heyi and his group swaggered into the second floor...
She was so angry she was about to explode.
Following Clockwork Guy, two more people have left the team.
The team of 15 was reduced to 12.
If the stalemate continues, the few remaining crystallized powders may also be lost. At this point, Watermelon Shumai had no choice but to change its approach.
She's going to create a new persona!
Waking up slowly from a light sleep, Xigua Shaomai, a full-time live streamer, sat quietly for a while, letting the experience from her dream resurface clearly.
Looking at the computer that had been running all night, she no longer hesitated. She opened the official community, "Starry Dreamland," and found the section where strategy guides were posted.
After a pause, she posted the edited "[Clarity Underground Temple Surface Walkthrough]" along with a link to her live stream.
The gaming community is very active for a period of time after waking up in the morning.
At this time, a large number of players will be eager to share their game experiences.
The link to the post about watermelon shumai quickly caught people's attention. Because of the identical ID, the moment people recognized her, sarcastic remarks spread in the replies.
She saw all of this, and after the hype started, she calmly and slowly released a portion of the downloaded game recordings.
Even after so much time has passed since the game started, the player team that has explored the furthest has only reached the imperial capital of the initial map, the continent of Anna.
This team, known as the "Orange Sky Strategy Group," has gained a large following on their respective social media platforms by continuously sending out strategy guides.
Now, in the unknown area outside the initial continent, there is a super-large scene dungeon with a total of twelve levels.
Each feature ignites players' passion for exploring the game.
Some people prefer to proceed step by step, fully exploring the initial map before looking ahead.
Some people are born with a love for challenging themselves and taking on difficult tasks.
Sure enough, before long, Xigua Shaomai's private messages exploded, all from people asking for the coordinates of the Starry Sky Treasure.
Although the game's official stance explicitly prohibits third-party transactions, the paid trading of game strategy information clearly has loopholes that can be exploited, which is why Xigua Shaomai saw one tempting offer after another.
She grinned.
She remembered how Jiang Heyi had nearly killed her with a single move last time, and she didn't want these petty gains!
Seeing that the time was right, she updated her status on Bilibili's homepage.
"Given the great interest of many people in the [Clarity Underground Temple], I will release the map coordinates in Windjammer City tonight after entering the game, and I will not charge any fees."
At the same time, she also included a link to her previous apology post to shut some people up.
After a series of smooth actions, her feed was predictably flooded with replies waiting for coordinates.
The watermelon shumai was filled with joy.
Since it's impossible to be the first to breach the [Clarity Underground Temple], let's get more people involved.
It doesn't matter who it is, as long as the boundary between the real and the virtual isn't taken precedence.
Moreover, with this post, they might be able to cross the line between reality and illusion in the future, acting selfishly and unwilling to share.
As Xigua Shaomai breathed a long, satisfying sigh of relief, Jiang Heyi also saw her post.
He hadn't specifically paid attention to the watermelon shumai; he just happened to see it trending on social media while job hunting.
"Not bad at salvaging her image." Seeing that the group was also discussing this matter, Jiang Heyi replied calmly.
"You're actually praising him now? Last time, he almost made you the target of being hunted down throughout the entire game and ruined your reputation."
The jailer sent an emoji of a cat standing upright with its fist clenched, confronting someone.
"It's just an objective evaluation. It was indeed a good move, maximizing the reversal of public opinion and giving myself another chance to share in the popularity of 'Proof of Stardom'," Jiang Heyi said. "My evaluation is about the matter, not the person."
"I really wish I could have your great attitude," the jailer said admiringly. "Aren't you worried that after she's overturned her case, you'll be seen as the villain in the annals of history?"
"It can't be reversed. Although I'm not targeting anyone personally, I didn't say we wouldn't retaliate."
Plain fries chimed in: "How do you plan to retaliate?"
Jiang Heyi reminded, "In the underground temple of the Clarities, our experience is far richer than that of a single person who steals progress."
