T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"Boss, please add all the ingredients listed on your sign to this bowl of noodles."

Imagination is barren.

Chen Shaoyu felt that he was just an ordinary person, as ordinary as could be.

The Proof of the Stars is not only a turning point in the fates of those at the boundary between reality and illusion, but also for him.

Why did you want to come here?

"I found this place during the information gathering process. There are many positive reviews about it."

Chen Shaoyu sighed.

Although there's no option to fake positive reviews for roadside stalls, he always felt that anything associated with internet celebrities couldn't be good.

"What's this?" Candlelight pointed to something on a small stall not far away.

"Grilled pork belly... Ah, don't come any closer, boss, just one serving, one serving is fine."

"Aren't you going to eat?" Candlelight asked, taking the food.

I was originally planning to share the pork belly with the candle flame, but then I saw the candle flame ask the owner for vinegar and pour it over the pork belly...

Chen Shaoyu waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, please enjoy your meal."

He still doesn't understand the candlelight's fervent love for vinegar.

She adds vinegar to almost everything she eats.

Something must have been warped within the module that the Overlord created it.

The candlelight remained unchanged as he spoke, his face showing little emotional fluctuation.

Just like her voice most of the time, it was flat, like a road that had been run over by a steamroller.

For those who are unfamiliar with her, the indifference and aloofness she exudes from the very first interaction will overwhelm them.

Vinegar is one of the few things that can evoke her emotional fluctuations.

Chen Shaoyu still remembers the sparkling eyes she had when she first tasted the vinegar paste.

He looked like a child who had found his favorite toy and couldn't put it down.

The act of swallowing quickly turned into a careful one, like a kitten licking water, one gulp at a time, with the eyes half-closed in blissful contentment.

Chen Shaoyu couldn't forget that scene, and later he bought some more.

This is catnip unique to candlelight.

I found a popular shop and ordered two bowls of wonton noodles.

To the waiter's astonishment, the candlelight emptied the entire vinegar bottle.

The proprietress in the distance craned her neck.

She seemed to want to see if the candlelight was a social media influencer who wasted food to gain attention, or a genius.

Chen Shaoyu looked around and noticed that many people were staring at him, making him the center of attention. He couldn't help but lower his head and eat his wontons in small bites.

He took one sip after another, then picked up the bowl and drank another sip of the "soup".

The waitress and the proprietress slowly opened their mouths; if it weren't for the constant flow of customers, they might have lingered to admire the scene for a while.

"Don't worry about this world. The current backwardness is only temporary," Candlelight suddenly said. "The changes brought about by the Chaos Celestial Sphere are huge. Compared to the previous world championships that were marketed by various countries, the atmosphere is more relaxed and enjoyable, and players can perform better."

The candlelight remained the same, but the conversation took many unexpected turns.

When starting a new topic, I don't care whether there's any connection between the two topics; I just say whatever comes to mind.

“You’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t worried about not being able to finish the wontons,” Chen Shaoyu said. “You eat with such gusto…”

"Courage?"

"How do you explain that?" Chen Shaoyu said, "If you see a girl in the distance drinking the hot pot broth in one gulp, how can you not want to look?"

The candlelight quickly formed an image in the mind.

"I really can't, but I'll probably record it and enjoy it with you."

The localization of the candlelight was very successful, and it was full of human touch.

She said the doll was born with defects, but in his eyes, it was a living, breathing person.

Unless someone says she's an artificial being from another world, who could tell?

Zhifeng cares a lot, which is why he's becoming increasingly perverse.

The only difference between her and the candlelight was that she could accept this fact calmly.

"You still haven't told me what we're celebrating by going out to dinner today?"

She's quite interesting. When Chen Shaoyu suggested going to a nicer place to celebrate and have a good meal after receiving her salary, she refused and opted for a roadside stall instead.

“The wages I pay you, if spent on me, can no longer be considered wages.”

The candlelight smiled and spoke.

"Do you remember I told you that I temporarily connected to four worlds, one of which I lost contact with after my duel with Zhifeng and we haven't heard from it since?"

Chen Shaoyu remembered.

"Is it that world you mentioned, the one with few players but many contradictions?"

Because of its distinctive features, Chen Shaoyu immediately remembered it.

“Yes, just last night, the avatar responsible for that world returned to my body,” Candlelight laughed. “Now, I’m much more complete again.”

Chen Shaoyu asked, "So you've regained your lost memories?"

Across the table, the smile on the candlelight suddenly froze, and the person was stunned.

Some people suddenly realize that they should study emotional intelligence more thoroughly.

Today's pilgrimage to the mountain almost made me unable to type anything—my hands and body were so weak.

Chapter 426 We'll take care of you

With the return of the clone, the candlelight finally revealed the mystery of this strange world to Chen Shaoyu.

Angke, in the local dialect, means the morning glow.

The candlelight illuminated a long and arduous journey, leading to the discovery of the first world of intelligent beings.

However, unlike the structure Chen Shaoyu was familiar with, this place, which was far more vast than Blue Star, Three Domes, and the fantasy world of Fisa, had an unusually sparse population.

With the candle in hand, Chen Shaoyu moved on to other stalls. He bought a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and asked the stall owner to cut it in half and give it to her.

"how many?"

"There are only a few dozen people."

He couldn't bite into the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) that was about to enter his mouth. He slowly raised his head and looked at the candlelight across from him, who was squinting and enjoying the food.

"Tens?"

“To be precise, it’s 79,” Candlelight affirmed. “The race that exists in the Onk world is the Mushroom People, who have established a vast fungal civilization.”

"The era dominated by individual consciousness changed midway. In order to cope with the 'man-made disasters' created during the development process and to prevent civilization from inevitably heading towards destruction, they had no choice but to revert to their ancestors, embrace the most primitive survival mode, and transform individual consciousness into a half-individual, half-swarm."

"79 'ancestor' level life forms have appeared on Planet Onk."

Chen Shaoyu was stunned, muttering, "The ancestor of mushrooms?"

Candlelight approvingly said, "That's how I named them, and they love it."

"The 79 mushroom ancestors of Onk contained the seeds of the entire civilization; history and knowledge were all recorded by them using themselves as containers."

"No matter which ancestor is destroyed for any reason, the other ancestors can recover most of the information by devouring, thus ensuring the continuation of civilization."

The progenitor represents civilization itself.

The strange life forms and novel stories of civilization made Chen Shaoyu look at the stall not far away—mixed mushroom fried rice.

One serving per person, eat as you walk.

Candlelight said, "Because of a shift in civilization, Onk's mushroom progenitor transformed the entire world into a mushroom sea through a new form."

"In terms of the ability to transform the world and the capacity to execute those transformations, they far surpass you."

Chen Shaoyu thought to himself, "You've traveled to so many places, yet you've only discovered a handful of vibrant worlds. How desolate."

"Were the progenitors also involved in the Tower World?" he asked.

“Only one Ancestor has accessed the Tower World,” Candlelight said. “The other Ancestors are heavy LAN players; they prefer to play quietly.”

“Even though I promised them a reward, they were unmoved.”

"How can one person play Tower World?" He was stunned.

Candlelight's mouth was bulging as he mumbled, "I gave each ancestor seven game slots. He is a city-state, a country, and playing games with you is practically cheating."

"With a semi-individual, semi-swarm consciousness, the progenitor can awaken different individual consciousnesses to take over the game characters."

"Their ability to deduce situations can be achieved through collaborative calculations via a swarm network, which is far more efficient than your brains."

"If my clone hadn't restricted the Ancestor's access to the stream of consciousness, there would be very few people in the three worlds with whom I could have a proper relationship."

Chen Shaoyu's mouth was slightly open.

What kind of man-made disasters did this powerful mushroom civilization cause to regress the course of world history to its ancestral state?

"So, where are they in place now?"

"Ranked 67th in the Tower World Rankings, his name is 'Ancestor Toto'."

Chen Shaoyu quickly checked.

The current top 100 are all teams from the Three Kingdoms region.

The only exception is the progenitor Toto.

In their minds, the Three Domes Land had long dominated the rankings, but in the Three Domes Land itself, it was probably just...

"Where did the progenitor Toto come from, and why is he staying on the list?"

Unconcerned about the need to determine who is superior, the progenitor Toto simply enjoys the game and is the only neutral player in Tower World Showdown.

While paying for the snacks, Chen Shaoyu glanced at the chat group and noticed that they were copying and pasting a screenshot of an interview.

"Hmm, Nong Ya's interview on the boundary between the virtual and the real?"

Nong Ya's bombshell revelation caused a huge uproar in the community.

Since its launch, the game has become notoriously lonely, blurring the lines between reality and virtuality.

Within the game, you can only interact with a limited number of familiar guilds.

Outside of gaming, he boasts millions of fans, but his only commercial activity was a live stream promoting fruit from the hometown of the Tea God.

After the live stream ended, silence returned.

Countless business orders await them, ready to capitalize on the high volume of traffic and earn a living.

Holding the golden bowl, they pretended to be mute.

Send a message to the official account to politely decline.

Let alone players, even laymen have never seen someone sitting on a mountain of gold and silver who is unwilling to dig it up.

Now that things have come to this point, the real identities of everyone at the boundary between the virtual and the real are no longer a mystery, yet there hasn't even been a formal interview, making it really hard to understand their inner world.

Nong Ya's interview finally filled this gap.

Many long-standing questions from the outside world have been answered.

For example, the issue of internal team dynamics that the community has been joking about.

"Before it was just 'according to reliable sources,' but now it's confirmed. Potatoes and fries, bed and squid, they've been in a relationship for a long time."

"No! This leaves absolutely no room for imagination!"

"Waaaaah, my fries, my fries..."

Will cyber potatoes produce electronic solanine when they meet plain fries?

"Thank goodness, I love the Tea Master. As long as the Tea Master is single, I will believe in love!"
