T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Heyi sighed helplessly.

He said, as a formality, "I'm not under any pressure," but the other person didn't believe him.

They spread the word to people along the trade route about Jiang Heyi's glorious deeds in framing "Watermelon Shaomai," a game streamer with 10 followers.

The idea of ​​stealing dropped items is very relatable, and anger simmered amidst the hushed discussions.

Some of them were unaware of the lengthy manifesto about watermelon shumai beforehand, and hadn't even eaten the watermelon, but that didn't stop them from following the trend and joining in the celebration.

If this is a conflict zone where confrontations are allowed, then surely some of these people would have already made a move?

On the way back to the city, Jiang Heyi was always accompanied and "protected" to ensure that they could not go out to explore normally, and their IDs and deeds were constantly reported.

The prison guard, who has an exceptionally high tolerance for pressure, even had the energy to raise his hands high and, in a standard gesture of declaring "I'm an idiot," jeer at the crowd, "Louder!"

With his rich experience, Zhong Zemo remained calm and composed. As a teacher, he had seen much bigger scenes.

As for the original flavor fries, her composure is well-known.

Orange Tea hadn't been surfing much, and this scene left her somewhat bewildered.

To reassure her, Jiang Heyi revealed, "I have evidence to prove my innocence, so don't worry."

The jailer got excited.

"Is the evidence substantial enough? The other side is a 'big' streamer~~~"

He deliberately drew out the word "big," and his frivolous tone and contemptuous gaze revealed his true thoughts.

"You scoundrel, trying to scam us at Proof of the Stars? We have to slap you in the face and rip your suit off."

Wherever there's fun, there he is; the prison guard's spirit of fun is burning!

Zhong Zemo asked in surprise, "If you have evidence, why don't you release it immediately?"

"Releasing her out immediately would indeed prove my innocence, but it wouldn't punish her for turning the tables. At this point, people's emotions haven't built up yet, and it can't be transformed into 'momentum.' Only by setting the fire on and making the onlookers feel that their sense of justice has been mocked will she be backfired by the fire she started."

“Her persona is a necessary facade for her to make money, and it’s very important to her.” Jiang Heyi’s lips curled up. “I want to tear it to shreds and make her pay a heavy price. To achieve this, I’m willing to pay a negligible price to accompany her.”

When a game is misunderstood, insulted, or slandered, you can see someone's livelihood being overturned by an angry mob. Although uncontrollable factors may cause deviations in the process, overall, it's a worthwhile trade.

"I'll help you stir things up after you get up." The jailer was rubbing his hands together, eager to see what the big fun would be like.

With little time left in the game, Jiang Heyi distributed the items to everyone and returned to his home.

Garlic Sprouts sat upright at the stone table, staring motionlessly at the spot where Jiang Heyi had appeared. It seemed that she had been in this position for a very long time, much like an elder who longs for his children to come home.

"Want some fish?" Jiang Heyi asked as the fresh fish he had bought spilled out of his backpack.

The garlic sprout eagerly floated forward, and its belly suddenly split open with a huge slit, opening and closing like a Venus flytrap, sucking the fresh fish dry in one gulp.

Its body is small, but it's like a bottomless pit.

After eating, the outlines of eye sockets, lips, and nose appeared on Garlic Sprout's face, which previously lacked facial features. Its bluish body also gradually turned flesh-colored, a noticeable change.

Perhaps because he was full, the garlic sprouts gave Jiang Heyi some reminders.

"As your puppets, we can learn and grow according to the branch you choose, and provide services including but not limited to refining basic magic potions, which may be of great benefit to you."

"Very useful information, but I don't have any more material to share with you. I'll definitely do it next time."

After several communications, Jiang Heyi finally understood that the Home Doll is equivalent to a butler who remains in the game when the player logs off, and its functions will be unlocked as you feed it.

Once you reach a certain level of development, you should be able to achieve the effect of a puppeteer slacking off.

Jiang Heyi suddenly had a whimsical idea. He looked at the garlic sprouts that were spinning rapidly on one foot like a ballet dancer.

"If I asked, 'Who created you?' what would you answer?"

Three game hours had passed since Jiang Heyi entered the game, yet he still knew nothing about its background.

There are no official guides or explanations for the gameplay; it's entirely up to the players to discover.

There are no instructions when you enter the game; you have to figure it out yourself.

These all fit into some of the marketing rhetoric used for "Proof of the Stars," such as "A second life after falling asleep" and "Your other possibility."

Aside from the player information panel that can be accessed, the boundary between fantasy and reality is incredibly blurred here.

But what is the connection between these and the game's name?

Jiang Heyi has not yet found the connection between this world of swords and magic and the stars.

Surely, in this medieval setting, there can't be unspeakable extraterrestrial visitors ravaging other regions?

"Creation" is a good starting point. If Garlic Sprouts is not responding to designers, authors who give them personality traits, or AI by breaking the fourth wall, then it should involve some basic world-building.

"god."

At this moment, Garlic Sprout suddenly knelt down on one knee in reverence, covered her chest with her hands, and looked up at the sky with her face, which only outlined the basic features of her features.

Jiang Heyi followed her gaze and looked up. The sun was high in the sky, under a blue sky with white clouds.

"What god?"

The barely defined eye sockets of the garlic sprouts gleamed with a faint white light, as if an invisible hand was filling in her broken body and mending her shattered soul.

Those were a pair of sea-blue eyes, deep yet clear.

"You can understand it, and you can't understand it."

"The world is woven and turned by her hands."

“The soul is conceived in her soft hymns.”

"Flesh and blood are like clay, which can be molded at will."

"Far beyond what can be felt by anything in the present world."

"She is the void of things without souls."

"She is nothingness."

For some reason, Jiang Heyi's heart was beating very fast.

Is it the serious and earnest way Garlic Sprouts spoke, mocking the ignorance with pity, or is it the ripples left by the undulating praise that stirred up a storm in my heart?

"What god?" he decided to ask again.

The description of Garlic Sprout's eyes came to an abrupt end, and she fell silent.

Chapter 8: Even teleportation goes wrong.

I can't help but refresh that post about [Watermelon Shumai].

Within a day, this post describing the stress and loss of belongings was spreading rapidly through various social media channels.

Players of Proof of the Stars who resonated with the story shared these three frustrating experiences they had while playing the game through her social media posts.

Those outside the industry who did not receive a spot were indignant at the "injustice" she suffered.

Proof of the Stars is a groundbreaking game that offers unprecedented opportunities to all game streamers. Everyone who is lucky enough to qualify in the first batch is eager to occupy the vacant niche as soon as possible.

The number of fans of watermelon shumai has skyrocketed at an astonishing rate, from only 10 a day ago to now exceeding 20.

Without editing any game-related videos, just one post made her a well-known figure in the gaming world.

When the wind is strong enough, even a pig can fly.

Now, the wind is blowing.

Before other streamers had even generated any buzz, she took the first step towards becoming a viral sensation.

Countless people poured into the penguin colony.

Some players come to her to team up and play together, while others are outsiders eager to get firsthand information about the game from her.

Among these people, there are probably countless pairs of bloodshot eyes watching her, envious and jealous of this unexpected wealth.

Today alone, she heard several rumors that she orchestrated the whole thing.

Fortunately, the majority of people were still willing to believe her, and the voices of doubt were instantly drowned out.

Watermelon Shumai just posted another update, intending to ask everyone to "forgive" [Cyber ​​Potato] and not to retaliate with violence.

However, the criticism of Cyber ​​Potato grew even louder in the comments section of this post.

Kindness, gentleness, and tolerance appeared in each line of replies.

For her sake, the players decided to launch a campaign to wipe out Cyber ​​Potato.

If Cyber ​​Potato dares to enter the conflict zone, a hunting operation will be launched immediately.

System penalty?

Each person takes one turn, incurring only a minor punishment. Offering sacrifices to the statue of the Goddess of the Night will remove the negative effects.

There are ways to avoid stepping into conflict zones.

As soon as his trail was discovered, everyone immediately transformed into locusts and swept away the monsters in the surrounding area.

In the lifestyle category, the self-organized promotional team prevented him from selling his earnings.

In order to create a clean gaming environment, it is essential to drive out these malicious players.

As she stared at the screen, she saw double images of things.

On a sweltering summer noon, the watermelon shumai made my back feel cold and I couldn't help but shiver.

Things are worse than she orchestrated them herself... She's spreading slander and rumors.

Being robbed after falling from the building, she angrily typed out those words in a fit of resentment.

What started as a rant has spiraled out of her control, with different people expressing different opinions in her posts.

Now, she can no longer delete the post.

She was indifferent to Cyber ​​Potato's fate; her only fear at that moment was that the lie would be exposed.

The game recording feature for Proof of the Stars can only be accessed through the official website or mobile app after unlocking the Homestead system.

Watermelon Shumai had originally complained to her friends that this was a ridiculous and illogical game design, but now, this design has become her lifeline.

As long as CyberPotato hasn't unlocked the home and interacted with the doll, the recordings, which are limited to two game sessions, cannot be exported and can only be restored by applying to the game company.

Each day felt like an eternity; only I knew the torment I was enduring.

I kept refreshing the latest comments section just to make sure Cyber ​​Potato hadn't appeared.

"Perhaps the online discussion hasn't yet reached the game, and he's unaware of it yet?" she thought hopefully.

If we just get through today, everything will be over.

Amidst her anxiety, the rapidly growing number of followers made her grin silently. She then adopted a cheerful tone and approachable manner to cultivate and solidify the relationships with her fans who were spending money on her.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we must not miss.

As messages were being sent, a series of business orders also caught the eye of Xigua Shaomai.

The unease and fear that arose from Cyber ​​Potato gradually turned into hatred.

This is a trending topic unique to her. After today, "Justice Trials Cyber ​​Potato" will become her first viral video on Proof of the Stars.

……

……

On her job search, Jiang Heyi took out her phone and glanced at the number of followers of Xigua Shaomai, then scrolled through her comment section.

Then he opened his alternate account, uploaded a pre-edited video that was already on his phone, and thoughtfully tagged Watermelon Shaomai.

Storms need to brew, and fine wine needs to ferment.

On his way home that night, Jiang Heyi's phone kept vibrating, with one private message after another from the prison guard.

After learning that he had evidence that he could kill someone with one blow, this guy immediately infiltrated the fan group of Watermelon Shumai.

"Happy happy happy!"

Even through the screen, Jiang Heyi could imagine the prison guard's progressively escalating tone.

From his description, Jiang Heyi also learned more details about the crash of the watermelon shumai plane right after takeoff.

Shortly after the video was released, someone posted the link in a group chat, questioning the watermelon shumai.

Then they happily received the "withdrawal" and "kick" bonus.
