T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"Five of them had already reached level 10 before they even entered the arena, and they were all using classes they were familiar with. And this is the result they got. What are you so smug about?"

"I think the Chinese server is going to get crushed in the World Championship again. They've been hyping up their T0 guilds for so long, saying they're going to beat all the guilds in the world, but their actual performance is like this. LOL."

"Strange, why did you say 'again'?"

"you guess."

"So what if it's strong in PvE? Will it be recognized at the World Championship?"

"The guild wars in Europe just started today. We might hear news of our crushing defeats in the final score this afternoon."

"You reminded me. I watched the recordings of the major guilds challenging the underground temple. Many of them had some pretty outrageous plays. The boundary between reality and illusion is incomparable."

"Sigh, the gap between guilds is huge."

Jiang Heyi flipped through the pages for a while and roughly understood why so many people suddenly stepped forward to kick them while they were down.

It turns out it was caused by a guild ranking chart made by players on foreign websites.

Since they rated [Virtual Reality Boundary] as a T0 guild in PVE mode, many unidentified creatures have appeared under Virtual Reality Boundary's account.

They're either questioning their achievements or hoping they'll release detailed strategy videos to prove themselves.

In short—you prove it yourself.

Jiang Heyi was completely bewildered. Sending a screenshot of the completion settlement and reward collection wasn't enough proof. What would it be?

Does it only count if you've mastered all the core walkthrough techniques?

This is a speedrun competition, and it involves the honor of being the first to kill the game.

Holding onto core technologies and releasing them to benefit subsequent players after gaining a significant advantage isn't such a heinous crime, is it?

At the time, Jiang Heyi thought these people were just bored and liked to criticize from a moral high ground. However, after the guild war started, the true nature of these people gradually became clear.

So some people hate it so much that the boundary between virtual and real is rated T0.

It's just a subjective ranking list based on player opinions, without any endorsement from authoritative gaming media, yet they're already jumping up and down in a panic.

Moreover, this list wasn't even made by Chinese people.

Jiang Heyi summarized her findings and shared them with the others in the group.

As a seasoned internet surfer, the prison guard had long sensed that the public opinion atmosphere regarding the boundary between reality and fiction was not quite right. Seeing that Jiang Heyi brought it up, he simply started a fight directly.

"That's how it is with the Western dogs. The boundary between the virtual and real worlds only requires them to focus on killing monsters, leveling up, and advancing to the world championships. But the Western dogs have to consider many more things."

"Sigh, it's more painful than killing his whole family to have our own father being suppressed by us. We are so filial."

The original flavor fries commented: "If you could post this, it would be hilarious."

Jiang Heyi quickly stopped her: "Please don't send it!"

He knew very well what kind of person the prison guard was doing; he was absolutely capable of sacrificing himself to blow up the latrine and making everyone uncomfortable.

He's not afraid of team building activities.

He's a typical rich kid, his family owns factories and companies, a lazy bum who doesn't care about being harassed at all. Warnings about his unsatisfactory life are just a joke to him.

The jailer immediately replied, "Don't worry, I won't send it."

Jiang Heyi said, "Originally, I didn't care much about the settlement points; enough was fine. But now it seems..."

Plain fries immediately understood: "It feels pretty good to make some people unhappy?"

The qualifying rounds are highly unpredictable, and the path to dominating the boundary between reality and illusion may continue for some time. Why not use this time to accumulate experience and do something that will make everyone happy?

In fact, the settlement score only affects the number of times you can participate in the lottery.

The prize pool for those who advance is 5000 points for one draw.

The player ranked first will receive two additional draws from the prize pool.

The order of 2-4 will be increased by 1.

5-6 will receive 4 chances to win the consolation prize pool.

Many Chinese players on the forums are furious about being criticized for their score distribution, but their counterattacks seem weak and ineffective due to the facts presented by the other party.

In that case, the boundary between the real and the virtual provides them with ammunition for a counterattack.

They want to win in the game, and they want to win outside the game too.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.

The decision was unanimously approved by everyone.

The blankets even shouted, "Potato Chairman, we love you so much!"

Wait a minute

Chapter 69 A Good Start

Jiang Heyi downloaded recordings from other guilds and briefly watched them based on the battle outbreak times marked by the system. At the same time, he created a new document called "Guild War Tactics Board".

During the qualifying rounds, there was no need to study specific guilds; he mainly recorded the tactical habits of other guilds.

Rather than being arrogant and working in isolation, it is essential for Jiang Heyi, as the commander, to learn more about how others respond.

When Zhong Zemo got off work and went home, the results of the first round of matches on the European and American servers were also released.

Just as Jiang Heyi had guessed, the moment the results came out, the boundary between reality and illusion was violently shattered.

【Eye of Chaos】, the Eye of Chaos, is a well-known guild. They were among the first guilds to enter the fourth level of the Underground Temple of the Clarity.

The score of 189221 was a stunning achievement.

Besides plundering other guilds' points, their ability to annihilate Nightmare Shadow with ease was equally astonishing.

The World Championship section was bustling with activity, with some trolls who were oblivious to reality and unable to speak freely displaying their Chaos Eye achievements and launching a mocking tirade.

"Which is stronger, the Eye of Chaos or the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion?"

"It seems like it could be killed instantly."

"Sigh, T0. Sigh, dominating guilds worldwide."

"Some people will say that the settlement points are just for the lottery and don't amount to anything, which is just wishful thinking. Why don't we have more lotteries at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds? Don't you like it?"

Anyone who speaks out to define the boundary between reality and fiction is labeled a "brainless fan" or a "filial son."

Finally, send messages like "Can't you just admit the gap?" and "Is it so hard to admit that others are better?" to shut them up.

Jiang Heyi and his gang of seasoned veterans have almost reached a state of perfect composure, but clearly, people like them are in the minority, and a fierce battle is raging in the comments section.

The jailer was very anxious. He saw that the people on the forum were not saying enough and were being attacked head-on. He wished he could step in and verbally replace them.

Original Fries took it easy: "What's the rush? Once we finish tonight, they'll have an angle to retaliate."

Ultimately, in competitive sports, results speak for themselves.

Without results, even breathing is wrong.

Since someone has opened up this battlefield of settlement points, let's play along.

She fell asleep on time, and everyone checked on her condition as soon as they logged on – she was sleeping soundly.

When she went to sleep, Mint still had that big hat in her arms. She rolled the blankets into a sushi-like shape and hugged them tightly, like a sloth.

Jiang Heyi coughed as he glanced sideways at the guy who was staring intently at the "sloth's" feet.

The mint in the dream jolted awake, and slowly opened her hazy eyes.

She always looks dazed and unfocused after waking up, as if her soul hasn't returned to its place.

"Haa~~~Are you guys going to a competition?"

Good luck!

As she ate the egg pancakes made by Zhong Zemo, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.

I don't know how she developed this bad habit, but Mint always eats in big, hurried bites, like a witch who has never had enough to eat.

Ever since Mint went out and didn't return for a long time, everyone has been worried that she might disappear again when they come home one day.

Seeing her lazy demeanor and hearing her perfunctory blessings, everyone left satisfied.

With the foundation laid in the first round, everyone was quite adept at the preparation stage for the second round, and they played another round with the exact same setup.

The map randomly generated at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds remained the same, still an island. However, the spawn point was on the edge of a swamp, and as soon as you landed, you stepped into the mud. The unlucky Orange Tea was completely stuck in the muddy sludge.

"Ugh, it smells awful..."

Orange Tea was still complaining as the mud beneath her feet churned violently.

In the blink of an eye, she was leaped high into the air and swallowed whole by a worm-like monster with a radius of nearly one meter, its body covered in mud.

This behemoth, at least 7 meters tall, was lurking beneath their feet, its appearance at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds of the spawn point resembling a buffet being served to it.

Jiang Heyi reacted the fastest, leaping up and cleaving its slightly closed mouthparts with a knife before the worm could plunge into the bottomless mud.

The "security door" formed by interlocking sharp teeth was wide open, revealing the tenacious figure of Orange Tea.

The orange tea, which was tightly gripped by the sharp teeth of the worm spiral, actually had an elemental shield on its body.

The incident happened so suddenly, there was definitely no time for the orange tea to cast a spell...

The Four Primitives, it's you again!

Without this shield, the sharp teeth gripping her body could tear her to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Having played for so long, Orange Tea was no longer the newbie she was when she first entered the game. Realizing what was happening, she immediately summoned the Wind Spirit to help her escape from danger.

The next second, the worm plunged into the mud, splashing mud everywhere, a scene resembling a dragon entering the sea.

In just a few breaths, the boundary between reality and illusion escaped the crisis of reduced personnel.

What kind of surprise gift package is this?

"Don't let your guard down, they're here!"

The bubbles rising from the swamp revealed the monster's intentions, and the monster grabbed the orange tea in a princess carry and ran out of the swamp.

With a shout, Zhong Zemo, wielding a giant shield, blocked the path of the mud worms chasing Orange Tea. Watching the churning mud, he shoved his shield into the filth.

The Sanctuary of the Flawless

Temporarily boosts all player attributes, strengthens shield defense, and enhances blessing effects.

Enraged, the mud worm opened its ring-shaped mouthparts, which Jiang Heyi had slashed open, and bit down on Zhong Zemo's giant shield, determined to swallow the man and the shield together.

Undeterred, it carried Zhong Zemo forward, crashing into the solid, sticky, yellowish-brown earth, then abruptly turning back, heading straight for the vast, mist-shrouded marshland.

"It wants to take Zhong Zemo back to the bottom of the swamp!" The quilt had just put the orange tea in a safe place when it quickly caught up with the mud worm, riding on its head and slashing it continuously.

The group pursued it closely, using magic and weapons to beat its foul-smelling, mud-covered body until it was battered and tattered.

Soon, a severed tail fell to the ground, and a foul-smelling, dark green liquid spurted out from the broken tail.

Perhaps in pain, the mud worm's body suddenly untangled like a tightly wound ball of thread, and it danced wildly in the air.

With a sudden jerk of its massive head, Zhong Zemo was shoved into the mud like a cannonball through the gaping maw of its sharp teeth.

"Holy crap, Cuttlefish, are you alright?" The jailer hurriedly went to the mud to fish him out, grabbing Zhong Zemo's hand and pulling it into the mud.

Zhong Zemo, who was nearly suffocating, was in a very sorry state, but he still smiled and pointed to the shield in his hand that was gleaming with a yellowish-brown light.

【The Flawless Shield】 is a powerful shield obtained after the shield amplified by the protection of the flawless is broken. Its enhanced defensive attributes made the mud worm feel as if it had bitten into a large, unbreakable rock, and it was so disgusted that it vomited Zhong Zemo out.

The mud churned up again not far away.

"Again?"

The mud worm, which reappeared after stirring up the soil, was healing its wounded body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mud covering its body was like a miracle cure for its injuries, gradually becoming one with its flesh and blood.

Is this considered a mud circulation?

How come Jiang Heyi didn't realize before that Original Flavor Fries was a Pokémon player?

Having failed to feed and been injured, the mud worm was furious.

Its body, standing in the mud, swayed and wriggled like seaweed being swayed by ocean currents.

The power of the earth element condenses, drawing the thick, sticky mud to rotate at high speed.
