T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Chapter 32 What? Our guild is famous?

In the matter of conquering the temple, both Jiang Heyi and Xigua Shaomai had an informational advantage.

Now that Xigua Shaomai has voluntarily given up this advantage, Jiang Heyi only needed to think for a moment to guess that she was stuck and suffering.

Only when she suffers repeated defeats and sees no chance of winning will she decide to change her approach and seize more value.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but sigh.

When they first met at the boundary between the real and the virtual, he sent four people away. Didn't he also emerge alone, relying on magic potions and a desperate stab to create his second form?

If you're bad at it, just practice more; it's not that hard to beat.

Of course, it's also highly possible that she couldn't swallow her anger and decided to disgust herself in this way.

"You want to fight them in the ring?"

Zhong Zemo not only posted it in the group chat, but also walked over to Jiang Heyi and asked.

At home, he always had to get up early to prepare breakfast, but now that he was free, he took an extra ten minutes of luxurious sleep.

Jiang Heyi said in a serious tone: "Protecting guild members is the guild leader's responsibility."

In the realm of public opinion, emotions always dominate, and rationality often returns only after the venting has subsided. The accumulation of public opinion in the early stages is enough to overwhelm people.

Living in the real world, not in another dimension, means that you cannot physically criticize someone who is disgusted or repulsed, much less destroy them with your body or soul.

Therefore, Jiang Heyi offered his own solution.

“Create an account named ‘Virtual Boundary’.”

"We'll also release some short strategy videos."

"If we can earn some money from traffic, we'll either spend a portion on in-game purchases or meet up offline for a nice meal."

The jailer sent a sighing cat emoji.

"In-person gatherings? That's great. I've never even seen what potatoes and French fries look like before."

Original Fries: "You're thinking too far ahead. In short, we should set up the account first."

Who will do it?

Jiang Heyi: "I'm in an interview."

Jailer: "My dad asked me to go to the company, but I'm busy."

Zhong Zemo: "I have to go to class."

Orange Tea: "Ah... I also have to go to school to register today."

Plain fries: "..."

Jiang Heyi suddenly thought of a lame joke.

French fries are usually seasoned with salt before frying, and plain fries are definitely the saltiest at the cusp of saltiness.

A moment later, Jiang Heyi's private chat window started shaking.

“I’ve set up the account,” Plain Fries asked. “What are you planning to post?”

"Export the game video, and release a portion of the scene where we are currently conquering the fourth floor of the monastery in the temple." Jiang Heyi stood up to prepare for the interview, his fingers flying across the keyboard. "Note that it's the scene; don't release any monster or combat footage, and it should be no more than a minute long."

Just as he took the plain fries out of the fridge and started chugging a bottle of milk, he glanced at the message popping up on his phone and smacked his lips hard.

It has the feel of a teacher assigning homework.

This plain fries recipe wasn't difficult; she skillfully completed the editing, sent the finished product to Jiang Heyi for a quick glance, and then uploaded it.

At this moment, Jiang Heyi sat upright, smiling as she welcomed this rare interview opportunity.

The prison guard put aside his online frivolity in front of his father's close friend and treated him with politeness and propriety.

Zhong Zemo turned the pages of the book and reminded the students to take notes.

Orange Tea, carrying large and small bags, followed the crowd with a blank expression, searching for the senior students from her department who were there to guide the new students.

Although she was bored, she wasn't a lazy bum who spent all her time sitting in front of the computer. She packed up a few things, picked up her backpack, and left home.

While everyone on the boundary between the virtual and the real world is busy in reality, the video uploaded by Original Fries entered the traffic pool because it carried the "Proof of Stars" tag.

This video, which should have quietly fermented in a corner unnoticed by anyone, surged to the forefront of players eagerly seeking relevant information thanks to the keyword "Temple of the Clarity" created by Xigua Shaomai, riding the wave of algorithms.

At first, only one or two people watched online.

An hour later, hundreds of people were already watching the short 40-second video online simultaneously.

As school was about to end, Zhong Zemo finally had some free time and took out his phone.

I wanted to search for some game-related videos, but I only refreshed the page twice...

"what?"

He carefully checked the name below the video and clicked on it in disbelief.

Looking at the nearly 10,000 online viewers, the dense barrage of comments on the screen, the ever-increasing number of comments with each refresh, and...

"Huh? Ten thousand followers?" Seeing the commotion in the chat group, Original Fries was the first to reply, "But I only created this account a short time ago."

The prison guard, who had just finished having dinner with the elders, also noticed something was wrong.

Wow, it's almost 20 views!

"Where's the potato? Let the potato come out and have a look too."

“It seems his phone was forgotten to be charged; I can’t get through,” Zhong Zemo replied.

Of the hundreds of comments, the majority were asking for coordinates.

Original Fries opened the account on the boundary between reality and virtuality, and the private messages exploded.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, watermelon shumai was also recommended in a video that blurred the lines between reality and virtuality.

“The fourth floor?!” she almost exclaimed.

The two Stitched Monsters on the first floor had already wiped them out several times. The materials they had painstakingly collected over two rounds of gameplay were barely enough to cover the cost of one Star Gem teleportation. They were instantly killed upon landing, making for a completely unplayable gaming experience.

One of the fans of Watermelon Shumai confidently assured her: "It's not at all a difficulty level that players at the current level can complete in a normal way."

"The boundary between the real and the virtual must have been cleared using some unorthodox method. If we don't master this unorthodox technique, we'll only end up wiping out the whole party indefinitely."

"The boundary between the virtual and the real cannot be crossed very far."

That's how she comforted herself.

But now...

"How could they get to the fourth floor? How could they!"

After being dumbfounded, Xigua Shaomai immediately realized that she had completely benefited the other party.

She was being used as a stepping stone by Cyber ​​Potato!

The reason she was able to gain so many followers so quickly and have her videos recommended is because she decided to reveal her location, which led to an increase in search volume...

The other party already has an advantage in terms of progress in the strategy. Once they gain recommended traffic and take off, who will care about her location?

Even if they don't directly share tips on how to conquer the temple, but instead focus solely on speeding up progress and vying for the honor of being the first to clear it, it's hard for people to criticize them.

If the boundary between virtual and real worlds were willing to share some walkthrough details, even just hints, it would garner a lot of gratitude from players.

Now, what does she have to compete with others?

Number of fans.

Once someone gains popularity, do they still care about not having fans?

strength……

The Proof of the Stars is a game with a competitive element, and once you get into competition, there's one thing you absolutely can't avoid.

“In e-sports, being bad is the original sin.”

Excellent players are naturally able to attract more fans.

If she truly possessed the skills and ability to conquer the first level of the temple, she wouldn't have released the coordinates.

Although they spend years surfing the internet, this is the first time the five people from the virtual-real boundary have been placed in the spotlight and become the center of public opinion for a game.

Jiang Heyi's move was surprisingly effective, so much so that... they were momentarily at a loss for what to do next.

"Send a reminder to players who are eager to teleport to the [Clarity Underground Temple] world bubble area that the Starry Sky Gem charging fee is high. As the number of people teleporting increases, not only will the teleportation fee rise, but there will also be a risk of failure."

"We also need to remind them that the monsters in this bubble world where the underground temple is located, whether on the surface or underground, are extremely powerful."

"Tell them not to listen to others' encouragement and blindly teleport, as this will only result in the loss of valuable materials accumulated in the early stages."

The jailer questioned, "That won't work. They'll just think you're afraid of competition and that you're exaggerating your fear of losing the first-pass honor."

“I know I can’t stop those people from courting death. They’ll probably die first and only turn back after hitting a wall,” Jiang Heyi emphasized. “But we still have to make the risks clear first. After all, watermelon shumai doesn’t mention the difficulty at all. We have to be more conscientious than her.”

Zhong Zemo suddenly realized: "Should we also announce the coordinates?"

"Since we can't stop it, let's go with the flow. We have advantages, so why not make good use of them?" Jiang Heyi laughed. "The watermelon shumai has set a stage for us. If we don't go on it, wouldn't it be a waste of her good intentions?"

After a busy day, Orange Tea finally had time to take out her phone and check the group chat after arriving at the four-person dormitory and getting to know her roommates.

Jailer: "Now that things have come to this, let's order some food. Now we really have money for a nice get-together and a delicious meal!"

"Hmm... why are you discussing what dishes to order for the party?"

……

……

The explosive popularity of the virtual-real boundary was completely unexpected by the guild members, and its biggest impact was naturally on the game itself.

The moment the game launched, the guild doll Garlic Sprout reported something.

"The guild's application quota has been reached. Please confirm."

Jiang Heyi was stunned. Following the instructions, he clicked on the projection panel, and the list of names that unfolded shot straight up to the dome, startling him so much that he instinctively dodged to the side.

"Now we've really become a well-known guild," the jailer said excitedly, looking up at the list.

"Have you ever seen a large guild with only 5 people?" Original Fries curled his lip and complained.

"And the guild is dilapidated..." Orange Tea looked around the guild's main hall, which was still using broken round tables and chairs.

Zhong Zemo laughed helplessly: "Who told us to use all our resources to conquer the temple? There's no time to waste on decorations or upgrading the guild."

The costs of recharging the gems after death, equipment repair, item preparation before entering the dungeon, and feeding that shameful witch who likes to take kickbacks.

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds is truly short of money.

Garlic Sprouts covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master, what should we do with these applications?"

"Reject them all, and while you're at it, set the guild's joining conditions to only allow members to invite each other."

Jiang Heyi reminded everyone to also block friend requests, because as the guild leader, he had already received a lot of private messages in the game.

"Alas, I'm back, my children!"

"Did you miss me?"

The shameful, kickback-loving witch happily teleported back.

"I've brought the treasures you wanted. In addition, this witch is also giving away some useful little gadgets as a bonus."

Jiang Heyi's lips curled up: "After taking too many kickbacks, you finally had a change of heart?"

One sentence was enough to make Mint grit her teeth.

"So, do you want some or not?"

"Yes, of course, great witch, please let us admire your masterpiece."

"That's more like it." Mint immediately calmed down.

It's really funny to tease the silly witch.

It feels like you could easily become addicted without even realizing it.

Qiu Zhang said that the seals have returned to the world of the living!
