T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

High Craftsman Garcia glanced at the Heart of the Elements, then at the Plain Fries, and slumped into his chair, his pupils dilating wildly as if he had seen a ghost.

His face was flushed, whether from the high indoor temperature or from being overwhelmed by the sight of the Heart of Elements, it was hard to tell.

But the result is certain.

Garcia accepted the commission, still waiving the forging fee and still bearing the cost of the materials himself.

What he requested was that all five weapons be displayed simultaneously, even if it was only for half a day.

Plain fries, please.

At this moment, on the trade route outside Fengjia City, Jiang Heyi and the jailer found the stall.

"Oh, President Cyber ​​Potato."

[Chestnut Warrior] was showing off his catch to a few players when he caught sight of Jiang Heyi's ID and quickly turned away.

There are quite a few casual players who don't join guilds, don't participate in guild wars, and enter the game purely for leisure and relaxation.

Chestnut Warrior is one of them.

On Jiang Heyi's first day playing the game, he was fishing.

Now that the first round of guild war qualifiers is over, he's still fishing.

"Are you taking them home to feed the dolls again? What do you need this time?" The chestnut warrior enthusiastically showed Jiang Heyi his backpack. "I have quite a few in my pond at home, everything you could want."

"Then bring it on, 301 sea bass."

The chestnut warrior blinked, looking somewhat dazed.

"So many! Can dolls really eat that much?"

"It's not the dolls that eat, it's the gluttons who want to eat."

Chapter 75, Passive Skills

Since establishing the guild, Jiang Heyi has not returned to his home.

The dolls have all gone from the world bubble of the home to work at the guild, so there's no such thing as idle play anymore.

For players who prefer a more casual, life-oriented experience, the homestead system is a very important part of the solo, single-player experience.

They jokingly refer to their home base as "a one-man guild".

Upon entering the home of the [Chestnut Warrior], one is greeted by distant, snow-capped mountains and nearby coniferous forests covered in snow.

Several snow foxes that had been captured and kept as pets chased and pounced in the snow, leaping high into the air before plunging headfirst into the snowdrifts, becoming adorable creatures that seemed completely bewildered.

Standing amidst the icy snow, a chilling cold swept over Jiang Heyi, making him shiver.

The chestnut warrior's house is a beautiful and spacious four-story villa.

The back garden of the villa has been transformed into a huge lake, with a small wooden boat moored on the shore, with raincoats and straw hats placed on it.

"This……"

The chestnut warrior laughed and said, "The sunlight and cloud shadows linger together, while I, alone, fish in the cold river snow."

Most casual gamers are laid-back and enter this dreamlike game in pursuit of the joy and tranquility deep within their hearts.

"This is my fishing ground. I will keep the fish I catch here first, and then select some to exchange for supplies."

The prison guard asked curiously, "Then, if the fish in the fish farm breed, wouldn't you be able to become the king of aquatic products?"

The chestnut warrior laughed heartily.

"The stars have a breeding index; how could they possibly let you sit at home and print money?"

"Did I just see jellyfish in the water...? Isn't this a freshwater lake?"

"Oh, this lake is under the influence of the [Blessing of Abundant Waters]."

The chestnut warrior tapped the panel, and the light screen projected a fist-sized, dark blue water droplet from the bottom of the lake, constantly rippling outwards.

"It allows all creatures in the water to adapt to the environment and prevents them from fighting each other easily."

The chestnut warrior chuckled and patted his head: "I didn't know anything when I first started playing. I thought it was like other games, where you just throw the fish in."

"As a result, all sorts of aquatic creatures were fighting in the lake. When I logged on the next day, the lake was covered with white bellies."

"However, that's also what makes this game interesting. It's realistic, but it doesn't blindly pursue realism. It strikes a perfect balance, which I really like."

Jiang Heyi asked, "How did you obtain it?"

"When I was fishing, I caught a fish that was glowing with golden light. Instead of spitting out the silk cloth with the inscription 'Great Chu will rise and Chen Sheng will be king,' it spat out this recipe."

"I wonder if the game producer understands the meme 'A fisherman can catch anything except fish.' Besides recipes, I also caught a lot of weird things. I'll show them to President Potato when I have the chance."

After the chestnut soldiers counted, there were a total of 41 bass in the fish farm.

Does it have to be sea bass?

"It can only be sea bass."

This is the only one of the three types of tribute items that has a restricted variety.

Holding a giant bass that is nearly 1 meter long in both hands, the chestnut warrior forcefully tossed the lively fish back into the lake—this is not for sale.

"understood."

After saying that, the chestnut warrior immediately started a private chat.

Before long, people began to accept the invitation and enter the home of the chestnut warriors.

"Xiao Mao, asking for 260 bass is too much, and they have to be fresh."

"What do you need so many bass for? Have you had some kind of adventure?"

Those who could be summoned by this hardcore fishing enthusiast, Chestnut Warrior, are all big shots in the fishing world.

Many people immediately recognized Jiang Heyi and the prison guard.

"Huh, Cyber ​​Potato?"

"A big shot at the boundary between the virtual and the real?"

Jiang Heyi modestly said that he was not a big shot, but the fishermen were too enthusiastic. When they heard that they were the ones who wanted fish, they were all willing to give him a discount.

The boundary between the real and the virtual has always had a good reputation.

We are releasing the coordinates of the underground temple and sharing the temple guide free of charge.

Speaking out for justice, he angrily confronted the Dream Ruler, giving many bullied and vulnerable players a chance to vent their anger.

In guild wars, the strategy of not eliminating all guilds at once allows smaller guilds to have more opportunities to win prizes.

In particular, the third point is that among the fishermen who came, three of them belonged to guilds that had received preferential treatment from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The benefits of having good interpersonal relationships are clearly evident at this moment.

Jiang Heyi acquired enough sea bass with only 15 portions of purple materials and some scraps, which was incredibly successful.

"We don't have to specify the breed. As long as we agree on the price for deer, it's easy to negotiate. Rabbits shouldn't be a problem either."

The jailer asked, puzzled, "712 deer, don't you think that's a problem?"

The fishermen burst into laughter.

"At this stage, players who are not good at combat will make money through the life system, and deer can produce two good items."

Jiang Heyi suddenly realized: "Deer antler, deer blood?"

"That's right. They are food and medicinal herbs, and can also be used in some magical potions, so some players capture deer and then raise them."

"The ranch in the homestead needs to be built and upgraded slowly. Players with low initial proficiency and insufficient experience usually raise only one type of animal. Deer are one of the best choices because they are docile, obedient, and have high economic value."

The existence of information asymmetry meant that Jiang Heyi and others were unaware of this.

Just as players who enjoy the thrill of combat attract each other, casual players also have their own circles, and it's difficult to reach them if you don't know them.

After entrusting the acquisition to the enthusiastic fisherman, Jiang Heyi and the prison guard accompanied the chestnut warrior on a boat trip to the center of the lake, experiencing the poetic atmosphere of "fishing alone in the cold river snow".

Near dawn the next day, 712 deer without antlers and 129 lively rabbits were brought back.

Because the fisherman helped with the transaction, the price was naturally cheaper than buying it elsewhere.

49 purple materials. Since deer are the "egg-laying hens" for many players, losing them requires re-taming them, and ranch experience will also be lost. Therefore, their price is significantly higher than that of bass.

Rabbits are much less desirable; their greatest value lies in being part of a dish. Since wild rabbits are quite abundant, only two purple ingredients were needed.

Many people clear out their stock by selling it at half price or giving it away, which is like a small favor between friends.

Purchasing the complete set of ingredients for the Gluttons cost a total of 66 purple materials, essentially emptying out the inventory at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

Thankfully, Orange Tea won a big prize at the Anna Royal Colosseum before, otherwise it would have been really difficult to pay.

Upon closer reflection, Orange Tea's incredible good fortune has truly played a crucial role in navigating the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds.

Those who cheated Orange Tea back then, if they knew what kind of partner they abandoned, their hearts would probably bleed.

"Only a large guild like Virtual Boundary could produce so many purple materials all at once," the chestnut warrior remarked.

Jiang Heyi said, "It seems that everyone is quite used to this barter trading model of constantly changing hands, and so far no equivalent has been figured out."

"It's a matter of habit, and it's not uncommon. Because the demand for imbuing precious stones with energy is huge, a [magic stone] with 1 standard magic value has a good chance of becoming the equivalent."

"Anyway, it has little to do with the big guilds at the boundary between the virtual and the real. After all, it's more convenient for you to barter. Who told you to be so far ahead? Even a small drop is something we can't afford."

Everyone laughed happily.

After agreeing to ask them for help again if needed in the future, Jiang Heyi couldn't wait to return to the guild.

Dawn is not far off.

"Squid, it's up to you. Nine dishes, none of them the same, and they have to be something I can eat."

Cuttlefish snapped his fingers: "Leave it to me, I've already thought of the dishes for you."

In order to live up to the name "Gluttons," they dared not cheat too much and deliberately used very small containers.

Jiang Heyi vaguely felt that although it wasn't marked in detail, doing it this way definitely wouldn't work.

Therefore, Zhong Zemo chose to serve the food in a normal rice bowl.

In order to finish eating within the allotted time, the dishes must be easy to chew and swallow.

Stir-fried venison,

Hand-torn rabbit,

Steamed half a sea bass

Half a braised sea bass

Sour Soup Fish Head

Fish and tofu soup

Fried fish balls,

Pan-fried fish pieces

Sweet and sour fish pieces

Without violating the rules, Zhong Zemo only prepared one dish for each of the deer and rabbit, while choosing sea bass as the main ingredient for the rest.

After removing the fish bones, it was made easier for Jiang Heyi to swallow large mouthfuls, thus speeding up his eating.

Even though he had carefully used a clever trick, serving the dishes in a rice bowl, Jiang Heyi was still sweating profusely when the nine dishes were placed on the table.

Is it really possible for anyone to finish eating within the allotted time?

Leaving the guild, on the open field outside the capital of Anna, gazing at the gradually emerging dawn, Jiang Heyi's hand holding chopsticks trembled slightly.

If the attempt fails, all offerings will not be returned.

He wouldn't allow himself to make a mistake!

As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness and shone upon the earth, Jiang Heyi heard a faint, ethereal voice.

"I offer you my sincerity."

It subconsciously raised its head and looked into the distance. The sun, which should have been shining brightly, was stained with pitch-black ink and exuded an unsettling black mist.
