T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Before the radiance of the Starry Sky Jade's guidance had faded, Mint, who had been teleported back to the guild, was flushed and started cursing.

Her furrowed brows slowly relaxed as things came into view and became clearer.

His big eyes were filled with great confusion.

Mint looked around, up and down, then scooped up water from the fountain and splashed it on the ground. She then used her wet hands to pat the thick, polished marble wall.

She touched the ground with her toes, rubbed them hard, and made a "snap" sound as she scraped against the smooth floor tiles. Then, Mint covered her forehead with her hand.

"Did I teleport down the wrong way...? Is this a guild I know?"

Ignoring everyone, she jogged towards the main hall, only to stumble into the dolls' resting room, startling the messenger who was responsible for going out to collect trash and gather materials, who sat up against the wall, clutching his chest.

"Wow...why? This should be the main hall."

It's so embarrassing, I can't even bear to watch it as a joke.

Led by Jiang Heyi, Bohe rediscovered the wooden bed she had placed in the main hall, and...

"Wow, that's more like it! This dilapidated table and chairs—this is the boundary between reality and illusion that I recognize!"

She really lacks emotional intelligence...

Mint is very adaptable; after receiving a perfunctory explanation, she no longer cares about the guild's magnificent new look.

Jiang Heyi snatched her hat off: "This is the longest you've ever been away."

Mint, who was lying on the bed with her little feet dangling back and forth, quickly reached out to snatch it back, arguing incessantly.

“You were the ones who said I could leave anytime, and I have things I want to do.”

Suddenly, her small mouth parted slightly, and she smiled.

"You guys can't possibly survive without me, this genius witch, can you?"

"I think I can also tear off your witch's robe."

Mint immediately jumped out of bed and quickly covered herself with her clothes.

The man with the plain fries crossed his arms and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you bring anything back from this trip?"

"Of course I do! What, do you suspect this witch is taking your materials for free?"

"What about the things you brought back?"

"..."

"..."

After their eyes met for a long time, Mint panicked and looked around frantically.

She snatched the witch's hat and peered inside.

"Do you know spatial magic? You can hide a lot of things in here?" Jiang Heyi was so angry that he laughed.

After confirming the location where she was teleported back, Mint was stunned.

He then touched his head and gave everyone an awkward smile.

"When I was teleporting... I think I put the bag on the ground and didn't pick it up."

How could you be such a disgraceful witch!

I tried out a new feature. It feels really good with the overall atmosphere of this book, and I'll probably use it a lot in the future.

Chapter 40: Does the Shameful Witch Have Coordinates of the Capital?

Mint returned with 10 bottles of [Unstable Combustion Potion], along with a new creation.

【Elemental Molotov Cocktail】

Upon hearing about the Molotov cocktail, the boundary between reality and illusion suddenly realized that, within the Stellaris universe, the definition of potions is extremely broad, enough to form a nine-square grid of factions.

"Potionology is a vast and profound field; you must correct your outdated ideas, correct them!"

Feeling sorry for the weak combat power at the boundary between reality and illusion, and fearing that they might suddenly die, the genius little witch Mint felt that refining amplification potions to improve their strength would be a drop in the ocean.

More helpful items are smaller, more ambitious ones like the Unstable Combustion Potion, which are readily available and take effect immediately upon deployment.

According to Mint, the Elemental Flask was improved based on a certain potion blueprint.

She really loves making improvements.

Unlike the randomized quality control of unstable combustion agents, this is a more stable improved product from menthol.

There are up to 6 selectable elements, covering the common wind, fire, water, earth, thunder, and ice, with 4 bottles of each.

No magic trigger is required; it ignites upon shattering, carrying a mixed burning effect of its own element to maximize the damage to enemies.

Jiang Heyi likes this magic potion.

Currently, the only ranged unit in the virtual-real boundary is the jailer, and bayonet fighting occurs in almost every battle. If we can increase our chances of winning before deciding the outcome at close range, why not?

only……

Plain Fries crossed his arms, leaned slightly forward, and stared intently into Mint's eyes.

Mint instinctively took a step back, leaning slightly backward: "W-what's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Jiang Heyi walked over, playing with a Molotov cocktail: "I like it, of course I like it, but I have a question... why aren't there any dark element Molotov cocktails?"

Original Fries added insult to injury: "You took 10 bottles of Soul Shards, half of the guild's inventory. Do the potions you gave us really match that value?"

Peppermint coughed: "These potions are time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and the cost is indeed very high..."

With a "whoosh," the mint hat landed in Jiang Heyi's hand. Seeing that his gaze had already fallen on her collar, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Feeling guilty, Mint stiffened her neck, but quickly softened.

"I...I'm useful. After exchanging for the crafting materials, there's not much left...Anyway, I'm useful, so don't worry about me."

"Hey, I sent you a scroll, and you won't even give me a few bottles of shards?!"

People don't really care where the 10 bottles of crumbs went; they just want to know how much kickback Mint got.

Upon hearing this, they all said "okay, okay" as if they were coaxing a child.

Mint suddenly remembered this: "Oh right, is the scroll useful?"

"Remove the 'ma' and it works," Jiang Heyi said. "Where did you get this scroll? A great mage proficient in mental magic was seriously injured, and a slime under mental control regained its senses. One scroll produced two completely different effects. Amazing."

Mint's expression instantly became fascinating.

When asked about its origin, she only stammered that she found it while wandering in the forest.

Jiang Heyi wanted to press for further information, but upon hearing this thoughtless statement, he had no choice but to give up.

Given the boundary between reality and illusion and the relationship with Mint, after spending some more time together, she might just tell you herself.

However, they will have to put a minty face on their lips for now.

"See? I told you, without a genius like me, you wouldn't be able to make a single step in challenging the temple." Mint said, snatching back her hat and contentedly putting it on her head. "Hmm~~~ I told you, support me, and you'll have unexpected rewards. Did you believe me?"

"Next time I need materials, remember to be more straightforward, okay?"

"Wait, how about we..." Mint's lips curled up, "give me some Star Sand first?"

No, I really want to grab her smug face and rub it hard; I can't stand her arrogant attitude.

Seeing that Bohe was pestering Jiang Heyi, the president, the others took the opportunity to slip away to avoid being bothered.

"Anti-magic dust? What do you need it for? Can it even be used in medicine?"

Jiang Heyi was puzzled when he heard the request after being stuck all the way to the craftsman's workshop.

Although he didn't understand potions, he could tell from reading the item descriptions that magic-blocking was regarded as a plague by mages in the Stellaris universe, and was greatly feared because it could be used to forge weapons that could kill mages.

The anti-magic dust only needs a small amount to destroy the potion's reaction, rendering it useless against potion makers.

Mint pouted: "Give me some of the good stuff, please..."

"No, we need to save it for forging equipment."

The sound of hammering forging weapon blanks echoed in her ears, and Mint, snapping out of her daze, immediately stepped forward.

She was stunned the moment she saw the Heart of Elements.

"This belongs to the Slime King... What are you doing with it?!"

"As you can see, forging weapons." Jiang Heyi took out his short sword, which was already dull and he was too lazy to repair it. "How can you deal with monsters without a suitable weapon?"

"Do you have experience in forging dolls?"

"No, isn't this a process of accumulation?"

Jiang Heyi's nonchalant tone made Bohe jump up and down, and her hat bounced happily on her head.

"This is the Heart of Elements, the Heart of Elements... If it were used to refine potions, how many wonderful things could be made? And you actually let a completely inexperienced puppet use it for practice..."

It was clear she yearned for the Heart of Elements, so much so that she asked…

"You don't have a thing for dolls, do you?"

"?"

Jiang Heyi tilted her head.

"You dress up a doll as a nun and give her the rare materials you've obtained through fierce battles to practice forging... Among the noble children of the Anna Empire, there are those who cultivate their own unique dolls and fall in love with them."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is outrageous!" Jiang Heyi quickly defended himself. "I didn't buy the nun's habit, and I didn't forge the weapon for any doll-raising game. I just really need it."

"Then you should go to the capital of Anna and find master craftsmen to forge it!"

"I've never been to the capital of Anna either, so I can't teleport!"

"I'll take you there!"

Their conversation, which had been going on for a while, suddenly stopped.

Jiang Heyi's somewhat confused mind suddenly cleared up.

This conversation... could it be...?

"You, take me there?"

For some reason, when Jiang Heyi asked her that question, the originally aggressive Mint seemed to have thought of something and became deflated.

“Speak, Mint, you just said you were going to take me to the capital of Anna.”

Today marks the 12th day since the launch of the Stars of Proof server. Although the players' advance exploration teams have obtained maps of some city-states and learned about the overall landscape of the Ana Continent, they have yet to set foot in the capital of the Ana Empire.

With such low combat strength, even if they follow a caravan along the trade route, they may still perish in Fengjia City due to unforeseen events.

The closest one is the guild 【Orange Sky Strategy Group】, which obtained the entire map through an NPC when the server opened and started their own expedition.

They meticulously documented their experiences along the way on community forums, which became a delightful pastime for many, reminiscent of an otherworldly road movie.

If they hadn't suddenly decided to test the strength of the monsters in the forests lining the trade route, they should have arrived soon...

Try it, and it will pass.

Mint started pretending to be mute. She was pointing and gesturing just a moment ago, but now her mouth looks like it's been sewn shut.

She rubbed her face, snatched his hat, and even put her hand on his collar, but she just glared fiercely at Jiang Heyi without saying a word, as if she would lose something important if she opened her mouth.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Heyi's lips curled up in a smile.

"I see. I'd forgotten. You came from a royal academy in the Anna Empire. Although you didn't say the full name, I'd guess... it was in the capital?"

Not wanting to give Jiang Heyi any feedback, a hint of panic flashed in Mint's eyes, who was pretending to be a wooden doll.

“You’ve never mentioned why you left the academy, let me guess again…” Jiang Heyi pressed down on her shoulder, “Actually, you were expelled, right?”

Mint immediately looked away.

"Interesting reaction. If you don't speak up soon, I'm going to keep guessing."

"There are people in the capital you don't want to run into, right?"

Mint suddenly turned around: "You didn't guess a single one right! You didn't guess a single one right!"

“Who says I’m afraid to go back to the capital, Anna?” Mint took a deep breath. “You country bumpkins who don’t even know where you came from, watch me show you the splendor of the capital!”

The difficulty of the fourth level of the temple deeply shocked the boundary between reality and illusion. In order to be more confident in conquering the fifth level, the weapons of the two melee gods must be obtained.

The weapon being forged could not be canceled, and Jiang Heyi was confident in his skills, so he tacitly agreed to keep it for himself.
