T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

The later the game progresses, the stronger the overlord monster becomes.

In this battle where the yellow sand obscured the sun, the members of other guilds were made to look like the lackeys in a fantasy novel.

Even the slightest impact from the aftershocks of the ancient great battles could cause casualties among them.

Only at the boundary between the real and the virtual can one step into the field magic created by the Mud Giant using the [Elemental Blocker] consumed by the Bird-Beak Doctor, without being instantly killed by its exaggeratedly large-scale sandstorm.

In fact, Jiang Heyi didn't have high hopes for killing it. They had accumulated too many points, and their combat strength was already lagging behind the current monsters.

What he did was to prepare in advance for the combat power of monsters in the late game.

I have a feeling that once we enter the main tournament or the World Championship, the monsters that appear in the early and mid-game will not be as weak as they are now.

The qualifying challenge has gone through round after round, and with the game dynamically adjusting its settings, the monster mods designed to cater to the best players should also be the most sincere.

"The match time has ended."

"Score calculation terminated."

Amidst the sandstorm, the battered and bruised Boundary Between Reality and Illusion fought the Mud Giant to the very last moment.

This is a stress test where no mistakes can be made, and only truly skilled players dare to attempt it.

Although their attacks were like scraping water, blocked by the extremely high concentration of earth elemental power, but...

All seven people were present at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds.

They believe this is the first time since the start of the guild war that someone has fought the Overlord monster to the last second outside the safe zone.

Beyond personal training, there's another deeper meaning to doing this: it will ignite the community after the competition.

"【Virtual Boundary】: 391591 points."

"First in the standings, advances."

Although no infighting between the Virtual and Real Boundaries guilds was witnessed, deafening cheers still erupted in the world chat bubble at the moment the match ended.

For no other reason than that players who had been frustrated all day finally received the ammunition delivered from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

If you want to settle your score, the score will be settled at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

Chapter 72 Even if you guys are very unhappy, I still made it to the main competition. What should I do?

Community discussion sessions in popular competitive games are an extension of the competition itself, and are often just as entertaining as the games.

Even people who don't play games or watch matches can still participate in the discussion.

In this respect, community debates are also a nationwide carnival-level oral gymnastics competition, except that there are generally no winners or losers here, but rather a turn-based game.

Just as Jiang Heyi had thought, the results of the boundary between reality and illusion have become the most powerful ammunition for many players to fight back against the Western sycophants.

With 391591 points, he ranks first in the final score, leading the second-place player, 【Funny Tree】, by 18 points.

Although the scores for the neighboring European and American servers haven't been released yet, these scores are ridiculously high compared to the servers that have already started the competition.

Guilds like Humorous Tree clearly noticed the change in community sentiment yesterday. In this round of competition, they deliberately chose a strategy of upgrading equipment less, saving up a huge sum of money to wait for the game to end.

In the second round, there were more than twenty guilds with over 10 points.

Aside from the fact that everyone became stronger after the first round of competition, the rest was purely about saving face.

When the results were announced in the morning, many people were still insisting that the results for other servers had not been completed yet. However, by the afternoon, when the results for various servers were released one after another, this statement became weak and powerless.

The guild 【Eye of Chaos】that was used to criticize the Chinese server yesterday only had 15 points in this round of settlement, and wasn't even ranked first on the server.

“Speak up, those who were praising one and belittling the other yesterday.”

"Why are there so few dogs barking today? Do you have any clue?"

"Sigh, the Western-worshipping dog whose vocal organs were slapped to pieces by the boundary between reality and illusion is probably thinking about what words to use to save face. After all, its wild father outside failed to make it look good, so it can't bark."

"You guys are really disgusting. Just because you admire guilds from other servers, you're labeled as Western-worshipping dogs. Don't be so good at labeling people."

"Damn, they've taken the bait!"

The post titled "Is the boundary between virtual and real areas spying on the community?" was originally just a discussion about whether the high score given to the virtual and real areas was a deliberate retaliation against the farce in the first round. However, due to the appearance of an unknown creature, it immediately became a hot topic.

"You didn't say that yesterday. I supported the [Chosen of Khorne] guild, and I was labeled a brainless fan too. How come you have a completely different tone? You're the only ones allowed to 'admire' foreign guilds, but when we support our own, we're considered brainless. Are you the only ones who are truly clear-headed?"

"The settlement points don't mean anything. The official rules clearly state that the maximum number of draws per round is 30. What do any extra settlement points represent?"

"They keep trying to find angles to win, win, win, it's hilarious. The World Championship hasn't even started yet, and they're already popping champagne. I thought they'd swam into the World Championship from the edge of reality."

The unknown creatures started to band together, which further boosted the post's popularity.

"No, I don't quite understand. Aren't you the ones who opened up the settlement score battlefield? Yesterday, the settlement score at the virtual-real boundary was too low, so you all criticized it. Today the settlement score is high, so you say 'the settlement score doesn't mean anything'."

"Ultimately, the final guild war is the World Championship. The guilds that participate represent their countries. What's wrong with supporting your own country's guild? Is it something for you to pretend to be rational and criticize?"

"If you're so capable, then don't lose a single match. I want to see how far you can go with your so-called 'real and virtual boundaries.' Be careful, or your words might come back to haunt you."

"Don't you understand yet? They hate the boundary between the virtual and the real because it stepped on their wild daddy's head. If any other guild became a T0 on that list, they would be attacked by this group of people in the same way."

"The remote animal husbandry industry is so advanced! Who can compare to them in terms of filial piety?"

"Why are there still guys trying to reason with them? What's with all this high-class behavior? I'll go first, you Western-worshipping dog, I'll fuck your mother!"

This courageous guy who spoke out was quickly banned from speaking.

Stellaris' official Chinese community clearly supports players' condemnation of foreign-worshipping behavior, with a detailed guideline for forum discussions highlighted and pinned to the top.

One line of text has been newly edited into large, shiny font.

"The review process on the Qunxing Chinese official community is divided into human review and AI review."

Once they understood the meaning, the players started to create some funny moments.

"What's so difficult about this? I'll go first."

"A dog that admires foreign things will live a life of its whole family! A dog that admires foreign things will live a life of its whole family!"

As if inspired, people downstairs followed suit.

"May the entire Muyang dog family be wiped out, completely wiped out!"

This is one of the main reasons why Jiang Heyi believes that AI cannot replace humans: rules are rigid, but people can create incredibly abstract rhetoric to bypass censorship.

This phrase, "the whole family is wiped out," clearly misled the AI.

Jiang Heyi, who had been watching guild war replays all day and was getting dizzy from taking notes, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he opened the forum and saw this scene.

The creativity of netizens is always amazing.

The virtual-real boundary is not bad in terms of popularity. In the first round, it left a way out for the major guilds, allowing many people to get one or two more chances to win the lottery. This move has accumulated many fans.

As early as after the first day of the competition, they were already cheering for the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, fighting against the Western-worshipping dogs.

Now, in teams with favorable conditions, they are working even harder to help deal damage.

Zhong Zemo pushed open the door and called Jiang Heyi to eat, but found him still busy. Unable to resist his curiosity, he went closer to the screen.

"You've been keeping track of things all day. What are you keeping track of?"

"Special Guide..."

Jiang Heyi kept searching through the recordings and browsing various online communities for keywords, discovering that there have been more than 20 different types of special guides appearing in guild wars so far.

They will not appear on the field at the same time; the refresh is completely random.

This also makes guild wars unpredictable.

Jiang Heyi swiped the table and paused on a building.

This is a cabin in the woods that is completely out of place with the style of the game, and is made by interlocking metal and wood structures.

"This is the Guide?" Zhong Zemo's mind went blank for a moment. "This house?"

"There is someone in the house, but she does not show herself, and players cannot observe the interior structure through the windows."

Jiang Heyi continued to slide the mouse, showing different sides of the house.

Guess what services she can provide?

Zhong Zemo couldn't guess: "It can't be that the accommodations have returned to normal, can it?"

"No, she is the only guide I have found who can bestow two blessings upon equipment."

The equipment provided in guild wars is all white, 0-grade, and crippled. Furthermore, the set limit restricts the total number of blessings that can be obtained from the entire set to 4, with a maximum of one blessing per piece.

But the guide in this wooden house can break through this limit.

She also offers four services.

Enhanced Forging: Grants equipment a buff effect that enhances its power.

Boundary Breakthrough: Ignore equipment quality and grant equipment power that transcends its own limits.

(The duration of the effect is determined by the number of points accumulated; the equipment will be destroyed when the effect ends.)

Transcendence Power: Changes the quality of equipment, turning the rotten into the magical, and giving the equipment 4 enhancement blessings.

(It absorbs the player's points over time. When the points reach zero, the effect ends, and the equipment is destroyed.)

[A divine artifact descends: ?]

A mysterious weapon with its own consciousness has appeared on the map. After defeating it, you can gain access to it by paying a price.

Players who initiate the trial do not need to pay a price.

Jiang Heyi explained: "The people who encountered this guide were from the Orange Sky Strategy Team, who happened to advance as the third in line."

"In the early stages, they lost their chance to advance due to the loss of members caused by the earth elemental monsters. In the middle stages, the guild leader, Crimson Music Box, led the remaining members to take a gamble before prices skyrocketed, and they went bankrupt to buy the [Power of Transcendence]."

"After the purchase, the Crimson Music Box only had 1200 points. According to her description, the points started counting from the second she drew her sword and dropped at a rate of 100 per second."

"It's not a fixed value; over time, this weapon will become increasingly greedy."

"Either she kills and steals points, or she gets drained and becomes an outcast."

"But it was incredibly powerful. We only received ordinary blessings, while all four blessings on this weapon were enhanced. In the final stage, she relied on this weapon to successfully turn the tide and single-handedly carried the guild to third place."

This is the variable that special guides bring to guild wars. In a large-scale melee involving dozens of guilds, if any side makes the most of its special guides, it will change the battle strategies of everyone else.

Jiang Heyi sent the summarized document to the chat group.

After downloading the app, everyone exclaimed in amazement at how detailed it was.

"He's a commander, but also a coach." The blanket chuckled. "The head coach is personally taking to the field, right?"

"You really put your heart into this," even the plain fries couldn't help but exclaim.

"Maybe I'll have a chance to travel abroad and even rip off the jailer. Anyway, I'm just idling at home, so I might as well give it a little push."

If when the guild wars first started, the main tournament and the world championships were just a joke that everyone kept mentioning, then now, Jiang Heyi is genuinely looking forward to that possibility.

Some opportunities, once seen, must be seized with all one's might.

Although Zhong Zemo suggested making slight changes to the lineup as a precaution, Jiang Heyi rejected the suggestion.

Guild wars haven't been around for very long, and most people haven't fully mastered a complete team composition yet. Changing your usual team composition rashly would be too risky.

"Use the same lineup to the end, first compete on familiarity, and then on tactical depth."

Following Jiang Heyi's design, the boundary between reality and illusion was easily crossed in rounds 3, 4, and 5.

Although some attempted to challenge the boundary between the virtual and the real, thanks to Jiang Heyi's increasingly skillful command and the outstanding performance of all members of the Virtual and Real Boundary team, they still managed to stand out from this highly competitive qualifying stage and become one of the 30 guilds that advanced to the main competition in the first round of auditions.

This lineup has become increasingly sharp under Jiang Heyi's training.

Having advanced to the main competition, they will have six days to rest. Before the final 30 are selected in the second round of preliminary rounds, the virtual and real boundaries can temporarily do their own thing.

only……

"Now those people are starting to say we're just a luck guild and won't go far." The jailer couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to retaliate personally.

The origin of this saying is that the virtual-real boundary has always been smooth sailing and has never encountered a particularly powerful guild.

The major guilds that ranked first in the early settlement and profit sharing were tested to some extent, but they were always paired with a group of mediocre guilds that ranked third or fourth and whose strength was never favored by the players.

Although the overall performance resembled a tiger among sheep, it was ultimately just a show of bullying weaker opponents in a favorable group, and didn't reflect any real skill.

Jiang Heyi himself also agreed that the boundary between reality and illusion was a bit lucky. The preliminary rounds were purely for practicing lineups and they were not put to the level of strength.

but……
