T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"President, if you're not satisfied with the quote, you can raise your own price range."

Jiang Heyi stopped.

"If you let me discuss my budget, I'll be tempted to let you give it to me for free."

The werewolf leader looked displeased upon hearing this.

"But in business, of course it's a win-win situation for everyone, so..."

"150, let's be friends."

The werewolf leader looked troubled, but the werewolves behind him showed signs of interest.

"Isn't this a bit..."

“I believe you learned from the Heart of the Reed Fairy that we control the Star Sands. Just because we were able to replace the Clarity Ones and occupy this place, you should also believe in the power of the Reality-Illusion Boundary.”

Jiang Heyi countered, "As a wandering merchant, establishing relationships with powerful forces would be beneficial and harmless to you, wouldn't it?"

"I won't ask where your props came from; I'm only responsible for buying them."

"How many people in this world can afford to buy high-end materials and equipment?"

"Would you rather trade with a third-party intermediary whose credibility is unknown, or with us, who are quick to pay and deliver goods and can even offer Stardust?"

Jiang Heyi's verbal offensive shook everyone behind the werewolf leader.

One of the werewolves couldn't resist nudging him, signaling that it was time to quit while he was ahead.

The werewolf leader sighed helplessly.

"You're more like a businessman than I am."

Knowing this meant the deal was done, Jiang Heyi smiled brightly.

"It's a matter of each getting what they need."

The werewolf leader took out the forging blueprints, unsealed them in front of everyone, and began to explain.

"This is what we obtained from an ancient tomb... Oh, of course, please don't mistake us for despicable tomb raiders."

"Someone else opened the passage to the tomb; we only discovered it by chance during our business trip."

"The tomb raiders died under suspicious circumstances. The passage near the exit was littered with corpses and bloodstains. This is what we found on one of the bodies."

【Twilight Vampire Blade】

These are weapon blueprints.

Depending on the forging method, it can be made into a short sword or a dagger; there are two types of blueprints.

"Blood, and money."

"What's mine, it's all mine!"

"You are all mine, even in death!"

"■■■■■■■■■"

The preview of the finished weapon information is very interesting; you can almost hear some twisted soul screaming and shouting in your ear through the screen.

Common, unremarkable elements such as bestowing blessings fail to capture people's attention.

The scream from under the covers made everyone realize the most unique feature of this weapon.

The Twilight Vampire set is an upgradeable set.

After the gold set is transformed into a rainbow set, the damage dealt by the weapon can draw blood to create a shield.

Additionally, there is a small chance of stealing materials of purple quality or lower from the target.

Three known rainbow-themed equipment sets.

Jiang Heyi's [Call the Tide] is an all-in-one offensive, defensive, and support skill with explosive versatility.

The [Origin Element] being forged is being adapted to local conditions, maximizing its elemental abilities and resistances.

The third type of "Twilight Vampire" that has appeared now is different from the two mentioned above.

Its only notable benefit in actual combat is the lifesteal that enhances the shield; the rest are negligible.

But it can steal!

The armored rabbits in the ever-changing doll's nest deliver brutal, realistic punches, each one a blow to the player's bank account.

【Twilight Vampire】is even more outrageous, it actually directly steals players' gold coins!

"Great, great, great!" The blanket gripped the blueprint tightly, refusing to let go. "This is practically tailor-made for me!"

The Shadow Stalker's mobility, combined with the Vampire Set, means that every strike literally bleeds the enemy.

Zhong Zemo hurriedly asked, "Has the tomb been hollowed out?"

The werewolf leader was taken aback and shook his head: "No, their exploration tools and personal belongings are all near the corpses."

"We went deeper into the tomb and saw the tomb door that wasn't fully opened yet; it was spectacular."

"We didn't dare linger after we got it, and left as quickly as possible."

"If you want the coordinates, you'll need... 50 units of ore!"

Jiang Heyi waved his hand and said, "Buy it, and mark it for us immediately."

The werewolf leader took out a fist-sized crystal that he always carried with him and projected the map into the air.

Jiang Heyi discovered that they were still missing an environmental map of the area surrounding the underground temple of the Clarity, which was now a perfect opportunity to complete the map.

It really kills two birds with one stone!

After doing all this, the werewolf leader swallowed hard.

"President, look at this... hey, are we supposed to move the ore ourselves, or are you going to do it?"

Jiang Heyi shrugged: "Regarding this, given the issue of production capacity at the boundary between virtual and real resources, we can only pay you for 47 portions of composite ore at present."

Under the gaze of the werewolf leader's green, bean-sized eyes, he continued speaking without flinching.

"Now, let's discuss the issue of installment payments."

The werewolf leader said with a long face, "How could you do this, Guild Master? Please return the forging blueprints to us first, and we will come to visit again next time."

He quickly put the scroll into his backpack.

Okay, now we're safe.

Once inside the player's inventory, the NPC explodes with gold coins!

After some negotiation, the werewolf leader reluctantly accepted Jiang Heyi's proposal for installment payments.

To secure this money, he also needs to regularly visit the boundary between the virtual and real worlds to ensure they don't secretly misappropriate it after mining.

The jailer seemed to have realized something.

"You... planned this all along?"

The wandering merchant had no fixed abode and visited places without any regularity.

After Jiang Heyi's maneuvering, they had no choice but to come in order to collect rent.

When it comes to collecting debts, we always arrive on time.

There will be more later, but I don't know when it will be ready.

Chapter 302 Candlelight and the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion

Jiang Heyi found Sun Rain Golia, who was still wandering in the temple and had not yet dissipated, and also called on Fairy Insect Mist.

Neither the local Insect Mist nor the well-informed Gloria knew anything about the Twilight Vampire.

Considering that the Temple of the Clarity is located in the wild southeast of Anna, with vast unexplored areas, Golia couldn't help but remind her to be careful at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The tragedy of sun showers is still fresh in our minds.

Orange Tea was very curious as to why Gloria's spirit hadn't dissipated yet.

"Perhaps it's compensation from the world's consciousness, but now, Ghost Rat and I can move freely within the temple, but we can't leave it."

It's a pity that the two members of the Sunrain, being spirits, could only offer limited help; they were good at serving as an encyclopedia of the Devilland continent, though.

Back in the reception room, the werewolves devoured their food.

The red and white puppets served them jerky, which they grabbed and ate clean, muttering as they did so—consider it interest.

It's not good to complain about them in bed; they're just indulging their natural instincts, wanting to eat but finding excuses.

After all, Jiang Heyi really got a huge windfall, making a killing at the boundary between reality and illusion.

"In order to repay the loan as soon as possible, could you provide us with some pack animals?"

The werewolf leader nearly choked on the dried meat.

In this transaction, they provided blueprints, tomb coordinates, and were offered payment in installments; now they also have to provide pack animals.

The demon Lu Xin has caused immense harm; she blurs the line between reality and illusion, her heart is black, yet she insists on claiming to have a conscience.

It's despicable to break someone else's umbrella just because you've been caught in the rain yourself.

“We can use a pricing method other than ore; the guild has the money.”

The werewolf leader tricked Jiang Heyi with a series of attacks, leaving him completely bewildered. After much persuasion and demonstrating his wealth by producing a storage box, Jiang Heyi finally crossed his arms and began to think.

"Carrying beasts" is a general term for monsters with excellent carrying capabilities.

The hippopotamus-like beast that works hard in the temple, can identify minerals, and mines is called the [Fierce Rock Ox]. It is a docile and honest omnivorous monster.

"So, where can I buy it?"

"In the Anna Empire, the Liyan Ox, which possesses the same qualities as the Clarity Cultivator and can quickly identify minerals, is a non-sale item held by the nobles who control the mining industry."

The werewolf leader scratched his head and sighed, "I'll try my best to find a way for you... I'll also keep an eye out for alternative pack animals."

Jiang Heyi was trying not to laugh.

It's obvious that this information should be charged for, and helping to find it should also be charged.

The werewolf, who was hoping for the final payment to be made at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds as soon as possible, had no choice but to reveal everything.

What a solid bond of interests exists between creditors and debtors.

"Don't look so sad. The guild is just starting out and everything needs to be built up. Once things are stable, you can come and sell your goods. We will definitely offer you fair and reasonable prices."

The werewolf leader, whose brains were piled high with muscles, suddenly became humorous.

Does "honesty and integrity" mean that you won't cheat anyone except children and the elderly, but instead prey on us young and middle-aged people?

Jiang Heyi warmly shook hands with the werewolf leader.

This action made the werewolf leader break out in a cold sweat. His intuition told him that he needed to contribute something more before he could leave the guild.

"Our guild stronghold has been newly built and is suffering from constant harassment by invaders. Do you have any suitable treasures that can broaden our horizons?"

I really don't want to give any more information; saying even one more word would be a loss for me.

Jiang Heyi's words left him speechless.

"If we are defeated by the invaders, how will you collect the remaining payments?"

The werewolf leader was speechless with emotion.

"I'll keep an eye out for you!"

After gritting his teeth and finishing his sentence, he called to his companions to dump all the dried meat and fruit on the table into their backpacks as if seeking revenge.

Before Jiang Heyi could speak, he ran away in a flash, afraid that if he was even a second later, he would be on the verge of death.

The 3000-person invasion limit is still too high; the boundary between the virtual and real worlds feels like it could be lowered further.

Just like how the ratman's arm can randomly steal items after an intruder dies, there should be many other items that can strengthen a guild's defenses against intrusions, otherwise defending against intrusions would be too difficult.

The guilds that had accumulated their combat power by snowballing along the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, and even with relatively abundant resources, were finding it difficult to cope. It's no wonder that guilds that had previously established strongholds in the Chinese server have quietly chosen to close them down.

Everyone knows that continuous operation can lead to passive income, but who can withstand the stress test in the early and middle stages?

The two, Beiwo and Zhong Zemo, set out to establish coordinates at the Twilight Vampire Tomb, and everyone else had to join the fight.

Following the tip from Garlic Sprout, we attempted to establish coordinates, and the number of teams entering the guild stronghold surged.
