T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Looking across the entire arena, the boundary between virtual and real is the most unique type of guild.

Their exceptionally high scores and formidable strength give them the power to crush any guild.

Nobody wants to mess with them, and they're too lazy to mess with anyone.

They stepped out of the endgame and became detached observers, waiting for the game to end.

"It seems like a fight has broken out."

He scrambled up to a towering tree, gazing at the flickering lights in the distance, and cheered excitedly.

Those who have come ashore and are watching the people splashing around in the water feel an indescribable sense of relief.

"Tsk tsk, this milky white mutton and radish soup, aren't you going to have some, in bed?"

Lured by the delicious food, and unable to see the battle clearly from a distance, he slid out of bed in a flash, picked up his bowl, and wolfed down his food.

Watching the excitement is not as good as eating. Of course, if possible, I'd like to watch the excitement while eating.

The scene was incredibly exciting, with blood flowing like a river!

The audience switched projections, and not far from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, the remaining guilds had already started a massive melee around the guide.

The guide, standing amidst the storm, smiled and snapped his fingers, casting a powerful shield over himself. He then watched the chaos unfold like a spectator on the sidelines.

Looking at the boundary between reality and illusion... they ate and drank as if they were camping.

There were even two coconuts left over from the orange tea. This group of people were drinking mutton soup, digging out coconut meat, and rinsing their mouths with coconut juice. It was too pleasant.

Guild wars, let's get serious!

The fierce melee continued until the end of the match time, without ever coming to a conclusion.

When the notification sounded, announcing that [Virtual Boundary] had won first place with 33217 points, the players watching the match in the same world chat burst into enthusiastic applause.

So handsome.

Throughout the guild war, they were more familiar with the rules than other guilds. Apart from a slight flaw in dealing with Nightmare Shadow, it was a minor imperfection in their overall performance.

Moreover, their nitpicking is full of arrogance and composure from a god-like perspective. Considering that they need to quickly analyze and make on-the-spot reactions during the game, it has to be said that it is highly entertaining.

Previously, the video clips released by the virtual-real boundary mostly omitted the core strategy part, so players had a hard time knowing why they were able to surpass other players and become the so-called T0 guild.

This guild war has answered many of their questions.

"Where is the Lord of Dreams? Lord of Dreams, come out and speak!"

"Playing dead when things are going badly, huh? That's spot on, it's exactly what a guild like to bully the weak and fear the strong is all about."

"Life must be really tough right now, otherwise I can't imagine anyone dreaming about playing a game and then engaging in bullying."

"Tsk tsk, I'm going to check the Dream Master's results as soon as I wake up. I want to see if people who scrutinize others with a magnifying glass can withstand scrutiny."

The notification sounds became increasingly jarring, and many players who had been preparing for guild wars to fall asleep at set times began to enter a light sleep mode.

Just before exiting the game, Jiang Heyi and his group were teleported back to their guild.

Just then, Mint, carrying a bunch of materials, ran barefoot across the guild's smooth, clean marble floor.

She seemed too focused; she ran past for several seconds before suddenly turning back, her big, round eyes scanning back and forth.

The look in his eyes seemed to be asking... "You're back?"

"How... how were the results?"

Those on the boundary between reality and illusion shared a tacit understanding, all displaying sullen and distressed expressions. Jiang Heyi even let out a sigh full of heartache and helplessness.

The excitement and joy on Mint's face receded like the tide, dimming for a second or two before her pursed lips immediately turned upwards.

She proudly and smugly patted everyone's arms—probably trying to pat their shoulders, but couldn't reach them.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's not a big deal. It's just a loss in the game. The fact that you didn't get hurt at all is a great thing." Mint laughed heartily. "I've lost games before, too."

"I've also failed in the Star Speaker Trials and the Potion Mixing Competition at the Star Speaker Academy, only managing to get second place each time."

"You see, even a genius like me isn't omnipotent. It's common in life to not get good grades."

"Well, don't worry about those rewards we mentioned before. There will be plenty of opportunities to get them in the future. After all, I'm going to stay here, eat and drink your food, until I become a famous magician across the continent."

Seeing the strange smiles on everyone's faces, and the barely suppressed joy escaping from their lips, Mint realized what was going on.

Her face flushed, she pointed at the crowd, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Heyi grabbed the mint-colored hat and put it on his head: "Hey, first place in the first stage of the qualifying round, are you surprised or not!"

"Hey, Mint Mom!" Jailer Bro and Blanket laughed and cheered.

As office workers, Zhong Zemo and Siyuanti maintained their composure, but they still couldn't resist pinching Bohe's cheek when everyone teased them.

Mint bared her teeth and brandished her claws: "You're acting me! You're acting me!"

"Just tell me if it's a surprise or not," Jiang Heyi said matter-of-factly, leaving Bohe completely bewildered.

"Oh, right, here you go." Orange Tea handed over the [Mint's Good Luck Pendant]. "The competition venue uses the same equipment, so I couldn't bring this."

Mint smiled and pushed the orange tea back into her arms: "As long as it belongs to you, it will bring you good luck."

She proudly raised her head: "I firmly believe so."

Upon hearing this, the orange tea was carefully stored away.

Jiang Heyi took advantage of the last bit of time to browse through the guild, and when his gaze fell on his backpack, he rubbed his eyes uncertainly.

The Shrieker Great Snow Mountain Agreement, signed with Duke Narum in Anadu, has now been extended to 30 days.

Several days have passed since then, how could this be...?

He finally saw the small print below the item description.

"Due to the player's participation in the [War of the Stars], the time-limited items for the mission have been restored and frozen."

This setting is so user-friendly.

Guild wars can last a whole day, which translates to two days in the game. If you fight the entire war, all the time-limited missions for the top guilds will be wasted.

These are the details that a good game designer should pay attention to, instead of making some brain-dead decisions that make players unhappy and uncomfortable.

"Hmm, time to wake up~~~" The jailer couldn't wait any longer, "I can't wait to see how the players rate us."

The person in bed excitedly said, "Let's browse the community like crazy! Set up the keywords, and spend the whole day on it!"

Chapter 68 Winning in the game, winning outside the game too.

The real fun begins after the game ends.

Jiang Heyi was still having breakfast with Zhong Zemo when the prison guard and his quilt were already surfing the internet at high speed, chatting non-stop.

They're like internet porters, constantly taking screenshots of everything they see and hear and bringing them back to the group chat.

This was also to take care of Orange Tea. In the words of the prison guard, he had never seen anyone with such limited access to information.

To this day, Orange Tea's only source of information about the StarCraft games is the official community.

Zhong Zemo ate one small steamed bun after another. Today, he was unusually lazy, so he just bought some food from a breakfast stall that Jiang Heyi had highly recommended.

You know what, those who run neighborhood businesses for decades all have a special skill. A small steamed bun and a cup of soy milk, and the two of them are enjoying their meal immensely.

"Speaking of which, when I talked to the students, I found that most of them had very poor hands-on skills when it came to using the internet."

"For example?"

"Someone downloaded some strange resources, didn't know how to unzip them, and came to me for help."

Jiang Heyi was surprised: "They actually chose to come to you."

"Guess why they like me so much?" Zhong Zemo smiled smugly.

This is the charm of a young teacher who shares common topics and understands students' interests. No wonder the school was on Du Jingwen's side when she caused trouble.

Zhong Zemo continued, "Actually, it's not difficult at all. It's just a classic process of changing the file extension to decompress the file, but that's what stumped them."

"Some files couldn't be opened after decompression, and we didn't know how to run them in a different region... To be honest, these weren't big problems back then. We learned by ourselves and eventually got the hang of it. You could say we became good doctors through long-term experience?"

In fact, when Jiang Heyi was in college, he had several roommates who were impossible to teach.

On the other hand, the two socially awkward but lively people in the group, who are not much older than me, are truly a case of one being desperately seeking wealth while the other is overflowing with it.

On the first day of the guild war, some matches saw the emergence of ruthless players like the Virtual Boundary who had mastered the gameplay first and started creating their own dump truck mode.

There are quite a few guilds that have generated a lot of buzz.

[Barrel Water God Luo], who had previously had some contact with the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, advanced with 25000 points.

【Barrel Water God Luo】selected a very abnormal lineup of 6 elemental mages and 1 shadow mage.

This extremely abstract configuration attracted attention far beyond the boundaries of reality. The onlookers went from being puzzled at the beginning to applauding with relief in the end, and it only took them less than half a day.

The mutual protection among six elemental mages is indeed effective; the enhanced elemental shield can effectively limit the aggressive advance of melee attackers.

If you find a guide as early as possible and complete your long-range spellcasting skills, the 6-element mage becomes like a mobile war fortress, chasing and crushing people.

The other guilds in the same match were completely helpless in the later stages. If it weren't for the fact that Bucket Water God Luo and the Reality Boundary both decided to retain more points, they would have had a chance to crush more people in the final round.

There is only more abstract, not the most abstract.

Approaching the players is the [Chosen of Khorne] guild, advancing with 47579 points.

Jiang Heyi even suspected that this guild was just a bunch of original-flavor fries, all cosplay enthusiasts, and seven of them were Berserkers.

tactics?

Skill?

What it is?

Their logic is that they charge into battle as soon as they see someone, determining who is superior and who is dead.

If they lose, the players will only give them a rating of being an idiot.

But they won.

The Chosen of Khorne crushed everyone they encountered in their own way. All the other guilds saw the seven berserkers immediately and knew how to deal with melee berserkers, but they just couldn't stop them.

This group of human meat grinders, who might actually be qualified to compete for the Chosen Ones, eliminated a total of 18 guilds, bringing their respective rounds to a close as quickly as possible.

Another guild that had dealt with the boundary between reality and illusion, [You and Me Under the Funny Tree], happened to be in the same competition as Khorne's Chosen and ultimately achieved a good result of 29033.

They were also a key reason why the Chosen of Khorne continued their rampage in the final rounds.

After Khorne's charge was thwarted once, both sides cautiously dispersed.

Despite having a grudge against the boundary between reality and illusion, [Dream Master] performed quite well, taking first place in the first round with 21208 points and advancing smoothly.

However, judging from community feedback, their performance in the competition was not particularly dominant. Compared to other guilds that dominated the competition, they were simply not worth watching.

"This is probably how it will be in the early stages of the qualifying challenge. If there aren't two or more powerful guilds checking each other in a single match, the big guilds that show their strength on the first day will basically set the tone for the entire match as an overwhelming victory."

This response received support from many players.

The qualifying stage is highly unpredictable, with most guilds just trying to get rewards.

Only after all the excess has been removed can the highly anticipated clash between the titans take place.

The qualifying rounds are a stepping stone for guilds that are qualified to compete in the main tournament to slowly accumulate experience.

"Why is the discussion about us so heated?" asked someone in the group chat.

Jiang Heyi clicked into the World Championship section of the official community and entered the keyword "[Virtual Reality Boundary]".

"Is this the boundary between reality and illusion that's been touted for so long? I don't think it's that powerful."

"Can you even boast about 33217 points? It's not even the first place in the first round of the competition."

"According to your logic, we should be praising Gaia's Will, who ranked first in our region with 60748 points."

【Gaia's Will】, an unknown guild before the guild war, became a new god-tier guild in the eyes of players due to its extremely high settlement score.

Unlike the Khorne Chosen Hunting Guild's strategy of grabbing points, they also achieved high scores through a two-pronged approach, thus drawing them out for comparison with the boundary between reality and illusion.

"Are you really exaggerating your score? Can the [Hunter] with 120341 points on the Japanese server be revealed on the Chinese server?"

"I strongly suggest watching [Hunter Star]'s matches. Does the boundary between reality and illusion really deserve to rely on the teamwork and skills of others?"

"This is ridiculous. There are guilds in South Korea with over 10 points in the settlement system. Why are you insisting on blurring the lines between reality and illusion?"

"To be honest, isn't it just that the boundary between the virtual and real worlds was too lucky? None of the 29 guilds assigned to us were any of the better ones."
