This pilgrimage mentality has persisted since the game gained fame at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds. Instead of being gradually forgotten as they faded into obscurity, it has become part of the symbolism of game culture, possessing a vibrant vitality in the virtual world.

In the words of the jailer, this is called cyber immortality.

A century later, when people once again peruse the vast information databases of the internet and conduct extensive searches by key figures in the notes of crucial timelines, his name will certainly not be overlooked.

The name "Prison Guard Bro" alone is enough to associate it with a series of abstract behaviors.

As for how future generations will evaluate it...

Hehe, anyway, he's already dead, so it doesn't matter.

The pilgrimage to sacred sites that takes place on the boundary between the virtual and the real world revolves around the life stories of several individuals.

University, as an important stage in their lives, became the best target for their pilgrimage.

During his five years at university, Tea God helped promote the streaming account of his department, Animal Medicine, by appearing on camera in many episodes.

Her five years at the school coincided with the peak enrollment period for the entire department.

After the college entrance examination, inquiries from students poured in. Aside from the usual questions about employment prospects and faculty, the most frequent question from students, and the one most often heard by admissions officers, was…

"Will I be able to meet the Tea Master?"

The Tea God also achieved cyber immortality.

Later generations cannot avoid her when searching through chronologies.

A person who repeatedly attaches good fortune to himself as a symbol.

This is clearly a character design that is most likely to collapse, yet it has stood firm and become more resilient through numerous events both inside and outside the game.

Compared to her, even the lucky charms of koi fish pale in comparison.

Her presence directly forced the school to strengthen its teaching staff, and teachers who heard the school's name always readily agreed.

In just five years, the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Tea God has become the top department listed in the admission brochure.

The "Tea Goddess" effect persisted even after her departure.

Jiang Heyi's former residence is also part of the pilgrimage to the holy site.

As someone who can bring together everyone on the boundary between the virtual and real worlds into a team, he is widely regarded as having a strong leadership charisma.

As a result, abstract things began to happen one after another.

Various quirky startup owners bring their employees here to check in, defining this place as "the place where one rises to prominence at the boundary between the virtual and the real world."

If that's all there is to it, it's not so bad.

They also casually conduct corporate education here, a bizarre operation that would get them thousands of "idiotic" comments on short video platforms, making him frown.

Just as he was hoping that the snow water fried noodles could help solve the problem, unfortunately, the old town was being renovated, and the house, which was full of his childhood memories, became a historical ruin, interrupting the group's pilgrimage.

In addition to schools and some wonderful places at home, these places were also included in the pilgrimage.

Qiling Lane.

An alley that even locals might not know about has become a popular internet hotspot because of a story told in bed about how he scolded Du Jingwen and then went out to catch squid.

People who came to take photos initially did so purely to mock Du Jingwen; they took photos together under the street sign that read "Qiling Lane".

Attached are titles such as "Pilgrimage to the Holy Land: Du Jingwen's Loser Places".

Or it could be "the site of an ancient battlefield, where the Emperor in the Bed fought Du Jingwen to prove his Dao."

However, as the meme spread widely, its original playful and sarcastic tone was somewhat diminished, and the place instead became a popular spot for couples to take photos.

Knowing that things had turned out to be interesting, she couldn't help but mutter to herself while lying in the squid's arms.

"What's with couples taking photos here? They're hoping that one of them has been tormented by Du Jingwen. That's just too mean. I don't understand."

Actually, as the main figures, the two of them had also secretly checked in at the event.

It was proposed by the squid.

He got his marriage certificate with his wife, fell in love, got married, and enjoyed a truly normal marital relationship. He felt calm and grateful.

He was grateful that Du Jingwen was rotten enough that he had no regrets.

I'm grateful that the bed pulled me out of my mind, even though I probably wouldn't consider getting married again.

He never told anyone that after the divorce, he had no hope for love or marriage anymore, and he was emotionally exhausted.

It was as if the blankets had suddenly burst in, forcefully pulling him out of the mud.

Hehe, she's so nice, so soft and fragrant~~~

The community's discussions, centered around Anna Restaurant, have extended to the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds and have continued for a long time.

"So many years have passed, and they are still the same as they were back then, so I am relieved."

"I don't know about others, but I'm a beneficiary of the university town. After I've finished enjoying this, I'll have to add a line: 'May good people live a long and peaceful life on the boundary between reality and illusion.'"

"I've seen this sentence structure used in other contexts."

"Sigh, your divergent thinking is just like that of the jailer."

"Stop tainting the meaning of the words, get out, jailer, get out!"

"Honestly, I'm really curious about what they're doing now, after all these years."

"Yeah, everyone's reminiscing about the Tower of Trials from back in the day. In two years, it'll be the Proof of the Stars, a world-class event that happens every eight years. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Those of you on the boundary between the virtual and the real world, you must be spying on community news, come out and say something."

"Everyone really misses you all."

"There's one more thing that I've been curious about since back then."

"what?"

"Tea Master, who was the person you liked back then? Did you end up together?"

"Maybe it's the prison guard. After all, they've all been dealt with internally. It's been so many years, the kids are probably old enough to talk and walk by now."

"Sigh, if that's really the case, everyone's tanned goddess of good fortune has been taken by a stupid goblin. *crying*"

"Brother Jailer it is. Tea God's liking is the best thing. I just hope everyone on the boundary between reality and illusion will have good luck. After all, he accompanied me for two summers, and I really miss him."

"If the prison guard wasn't so abstract and bizarre, he wouldn't be so bad. It's unreasonable for you to discriminate against him. His family is rich, and he's a total shut-in. People who want to play with flowers have their energy diverted by anime characters. If he likes the Tea God, he'll definitely be devoted to him."

"Seeing you all like this, hoping that everyone in the anime you're watching will have a happy ending, I suddenly understand."

Chapter 553 Mission

The Stars Cup: A Testament to the Stars.

Held every eight years, it is the highest honor among stars, often referred to as the "World Championship".

Due to their outstanding performance in the first competition of the Virtual and Real Boundary, the final winner was given a special title.

"T0 Guild".

As the second Stars Cup begins, star trails created by the Stars Campfire illuminate the in-game sky.

The starlight was like mist, dazzling and brilliant.

The speckled fluorescent blue, the torrent of data as thick as ink, formed by countless data points, used a star map as a scroll to outline the names of people at the boundary between reality and illusion.

Ink drips from the star map scroll, blurring the information about their roles during the competition.

With their dazzling achievements, they earned themselves the right to be remembered forever.

Every year as the 8th annual competition approaches, their stories will resonate once again.

Just as everyone was wondering whether the boundary between virtual and real could dominate the leaderboard in this competition, a message exploded like a thunderclap in the community.

Almost instantly, a long article and related screenshots circulated throughout all the Stars of Proof communities.

It was posted from the official account of the virtual-real boundary.

At the beginning of the long article, Jiang Heyi and French Fries, in a tone close to friends, described the current situation of everyone that the community players care about most.

Everything is going well. Some are getting married, some are getting engaged, and the children of the four primitives are old enough to run errands.

However, the ceremony was only attended by close friends within the circle.

While satisfying the jailer's desire to be tortured, Jiang Heyi publicly announced that he had already married the Tea God.

Then, at the end of the article...

"Through the witness of the stars, we gained friends, love, wealth, fame, and tickets to an unknown future."

"As the guild leader of a T0 guild, and as the number one player on the Tower World rankings."

"And, as a player, I believe that the achievements and stories we created together with everyone at the boundary between reality and virtuality eight years ago are beyond question."

"We have tasted both fame and fortune."

"The spotlight is too dazzling. Even though we've been out of the spotlight for a long time, people still habitually focus their attention on us and ignore other excellent players."

"This stage belongs to those who have not yet tasted success. I wish all game enthusiasts can achieve their dreams here."

"I hope to play games with everyone for a lifetime, blurring the lines between reality and virtuality."

Following the long post was the premiere of Orange Tea.

With the help of the prison guard, Orange Tea's live streams have been going on successfully for the past few years.

However, she starts her broadcasts at her own pace and doesn't have a dedicated chat group, which is why she's jokingly called "Tea Secret Realm".

You need to be lucky enough to catch her quietly starting her live stream so you can be among the first to join the chat.

Few people can attract a large number of viewers to join the live stream and share their experiences simply by sitting in front of the screen as a listener, without signing with any party or doing any promotion, like the Tea God.

People have become accustomed to the company of the "Tea God".

Sometimes, Orange Tea feels like a nun listening to confessions. People who visit the live stream can find comfort here, no matter what troubles they have or what little secrets they have hidden deep in their hearts.

Many people say that they feel much happier after talking to Orange Tea.

And this seems to be one of the prison guard's favorite attributes.

Through the words of the Tea God, it was emphasized once again that this withdrawal from the competition was a collective decision made by everyone.

However, at this point, the focus of everyone's attention had become somewhat strange.

"Ah, I really want to kill that jailer."

"Waaaaah, why is it the jailer?! FFFFFFF!"

"I can't accept it, I can't accept it! Damn it, I wish you well, Tea God, and I'll feed you to the jailer!"

Such contradictory statements appeared in every corner of the bullet comments.

On one hand, she said in the community that she could accept the relationship between the prison guard and the tea god, while on the other hand, she was having a brain war with her left and right brain in the live broadcast room.

The Tea Master watched for a while, then covered his mouth in front of the screen and chuckled.

"Thank you, yes, it's actually quite good. It's like an onion, it smells very strong and pungent, but it tastes very sweet when cooked."

"Your understanding of the prison guard is too one-sided, and you're also very harsh on him, which is not good."

The viewers in the live chat were even more outraged.

"Wow, even the Tea Master looks like a jailer now."

"Still defending the jailer!"

"We need a stroke of luck! We need a stroke of luck to save us!"

"If they really crash, the Tea Master will be heartbroken."

"Fine then, may my luck run into me and kill me!"

The aftershocks continue.

The statement made by the person at the boundary between reality and illusion was a nuclear bombshell for the entire Witness for the Stars community.

Many players in overseas servers lamented that they would never have the chance to defeat the boundary between reality and illusion in a major tournament again.

"Is it possible that the player at the boundary between virtual and real discovered that their gaming skills had declined and feared that the content of this competition would be too advanced for them to handle, so they became a coward?"

"Joke analysis, IP, kimchi."

"Thank you for sending me a joke after 8 years."
