"Stomp on their heads hard, stomp on their heads hard! If you're going to be down, just play dead. Why are you still being so stubborn? Are you even resorting to excuses like bad luck?"

They praise someone to the skies when they win, and want to trample them to death when they lose. Apart from the Western-worshipping sycophants who were previously exposed, this is probably the mentality of some people.

Jiang Heyi has seen a lot; it's just a general overview of the current state of the internet.

He thought of Khorne's Chosen; their guild account must be operated by the person behind "Open Can Eat".

Given his actions as an internet saint, his cautious approach to managing his account is understandable.

After all, in the current environment, more and more normal people are gradually losing their desire to express themselves in the face of extreme public opinion, and choosing to keep to themselves.

This is why Jiang Heyi doesn't allow Orange Tea to see the community; her negative emotions are exploding.

It's hard to dispel this negative energy unless you're someone like the jailer who can find amusement even in his own personal life.

Aside from the elimination of the virtual-real boundary in the first round, another matter has also sparked widespread discussion in the community.

"What exactly are the boundaries between the virtual and the real, and Gaia consciousness, vying for?"

The relentless battle between the two sides sparked debate among players regarding the content of their dialogue.

Players who downloaded the recording extracted this part of the video and posted it on the website, seeking interpretation from lip-reading experts.

"The boundary between reality and illusion must be in a panic now, right?"

"If something is interpreted as such, the persona I've built up over so long will collapse."

Jiang Heyi found these comments amusing.

Guess who's sweating buckets right now, feeling like each day is an eternity?

He's hoping a lip-reading expert will come out and interpret it, and see who ends up being the pariah.

Having a habit of turning pressure into motivation, he lingered in negative emotions for a while before starting to study the video.

He had to make the most of the limited time he had.

Around noon, the prison guard sent him a link.

"what?"

"The Khorne Chosen interview mentioned us."

The media outlets that collaborate with the government acted quickly, contacting the chairman of the instant food company in the morning.

Having always kept a low profile, the moment they picked up their World Championship ticket, they were destined to be in the spotlight.

During the preliminary rounds and main tournament, the official operations of the Chinese server were minimal, but everything changed once the world championships began.

Foreseeable business collaborations are already underway.

Representing the Chinese server in the competition, their identities will be revealed when they depart. Therefore, in an interview, Kaiguanjishi frankly admitted that he is not a pro player, but just an ordinary programmer who likes to play games.

The reason for his success is first and foremost thanks to the six friends who were willing to be silly and goofy with him—they were able to pick such an extreme lineup as 7 Berserkers, and happily stick to their initial idea to the end, ultimately even managing to take home a ticket to the World Championship...

"It's like a dream," said the ready-to-eat product.

When asked which of the remaining 58 guilds he was most optimistic about, he answered without hesitation, "The Boundary Between Reality and Illusion."

"It's a pity we didn't get to face them when they were at full strength."

"I downloaded their recording immediately after the match. During the match, I was very curious about what happened. They had a seven-hour gap where they could accumulate points without converting them into combat power, and then a two-hour period of AFK time with zero points."

He said regretfully, "After watching it, I realized they were a bit unlucky, using our guild's 'Orange Tea'... Oh, you should know the Orange God meme, right? That makes sense."

"The guys in our guild all said that the Orange Tea lottery had used up all their luck, which is why they're having such a bad time... This situation is truly unique."

The interviewer asked, "So, you think there's nothing wrong with their abilities?"

"I won't question their skill level, especially after playing against them myself. Of course, there might be someone who understands the game better than I do."

Chapter 88 Sitting at home, fans fall from the sky.

If you say it's ready to eat right out of the can, then you're practically pointing your finger at the person stirring up trouble and cursing them; they're just useless people with no right to speak.

But the Chosen Ones are these people, the "daddys" who conquered the boundary between reality and illusion.

Their biological father abandoned them, instead finding solace in the boundary between reality and illusion, leaving them orphans who were at a loss for what to do.

This informative interview also revealed a little anecdote about Jiang Heyi proactively offering her blessings when she was eliminated.

"If you get our points, you absolutely have to go to the World Championship!"

The video's bullet comments were filled with the word "tearful," and the comment section was flooded with crying emojis.

The off-field public opinion surrounding competitive sports has long been chaotic, and after the World Championships, many people have adopted the same approach.

Jiang Heyi's sincere blessings flowed like a gentle stream, purifying the chaotic atmosphere of the World Championship special edition.

The crisp air made the online trolls, who were usually immersed in the mud of online arguments, suddenly stop their fingers dancing on their keyboards and slowly delete their angry remarks about the boundary between reality and illusion, and even about other guilds.

Many netizens who blindly followed the trend of criticizing him felt somewhat ashamed upon careful reflection.

Ultimately, most of the discussion is just netizens adding their own drama, and the seven people at the center of the controversy have never publicly said anything.

The interview for the advancement of "You and Me Under the Funny Tree" also touched on the boundary between reality and fiction.

President Huang Liangyi also believes they will advance, and she also stated directly that the current online malice regarding the boundary between reality and virtuality is somewhat incomprehensible.

"It's just a persona they're trying to create, disgusting."

With Jiang Heyi's candid remarks preceding them, the true nature of those who continue to spew nonsense like flies is quite questionable.

In an instant, the guns turned, and the firepower focused on the boundary between reality and illusion found a new target for release.

Jiang Heyi never dreamed that her heartfelt blessing would have such an effect afterward.

Sincerity can still create ripples in this era.

Near the afternoon, a video appeared on the homepage of Bilibili.

"Lip reading deciphers the boundary between reality and illusion and what Gaia's consciousness is actually saying."

The thing the incomplete evolvers feared most has happened.

He was still furious when he was eliminated, but when he finally calmed down, the comment from the spectators that "lip reading is needed" made him break out in a cold sweat.

After the competition, quite a few people came to him to ask about the cause and effect of the incident.

The morning happens to be the time when the tension between the virtual and real worlds is at its peak. If a video of Cyber ​​Potato making sarcastic and malicious remarks about other contestants were to surface at this time, it would definitely cause the reputation that the virtual and real worlds have built up to collapse.

Many people hoped he would be the one to make the surgery.

Those with Gaia's consciousness all know that this knife cannot be used... it will cause them to self-destruct!

The winning streak raised the guild's expectations high, and everyone was a champagne connoisseur. They had talked about borrowing a spot in the World Championship countless times in the group chat.

Although he verbally dissuaded the association president, he was secretly pleased.

The current influence of the game "Proof of the Stars" is enough to allow the four guilds that entered the world championship to accumulate a huge fan base. Regardless of what the 28 players did in real life, their fates will be changed by the result.

This is an opportunity that anyone can see.

After being crushed by Khorne's Chosen, he felt an unprecedented panic after drinking too much champagne.

The huge gap left them feeling lost and disoriented.

Even the Luck Guild, which they looked down upon, could steadily suppress them. Combined with Jiang Heyi's repeated mention of Khorne's Chosen, the incomplete evolved beings broke through their defenses.

There was no such thing as him acting impulsively or losing control of his temper when he cursed Cyber ​​Potato; it was all a true reflection of his inner thoughts.

The opportunity to soar to great heights was within reach, but his hopes were dashed, leaving him no choice but to continue his pretense.

Once those words are deciphered by lip reading, it's no longer just a game; it becomes a complete viral phenomenon.

As an employee of a large corporation, the Incomplete Evolver was very familiar with public relations processes. Despite feeling extremely uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth and managed to get the contact information for the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

He must reach a settlement with Cyber ​​Potato before things escalate further; only in this way can he prevent the ensuing public outcry from escalating indefinitely.

Next, as long as Meimei pretends to be dead for a while, the hype will die down, and the problem will naturally be solved.

This is the worst possible outcome in the mind of an incomplete evolver.

Ideally, I would perform perfectly tomorrow and secure a ticket to the World Championship, then all the problems would cease to be problems.

As long as he achieves results, his fans will naturally defend him.

All you need to do is get through these ten-odd hours!

Every second of applying to be friends with CyberPotato was agonizing. He stared intently at the screen, anxiously waiting for the notification sound to indicate that his friend request had been accepted.

Finally, my friend request was accepted.

The imperfect evolver didn't immediately send out the prepared apology. Instead, he pretended to type, creating the impression of being typing and full of sincerity, and waited quite a while before copying and pasting it.

"I am deeply sorry for what happened in the game last night."

"We are both guild leaders, so some feelings should be shared. When guild members act foolishly, it's too late for me to stop them. The subsequent conversation only exacerbated the conflict between us. As the leader of [Gaia Consciousness], I have to stand my ground and protect the guild members."

"The arguments during the fight were impulsive and thoughtless offenses in the heat of the moment. I admit that I did not manage my emotions well and crossed the line into trash talk."

“I feel deeply guilty for the harm this has caused to you and other members of the virtual-real boundary, and I apologize again.”

"If President Cyber ​​Potato still has doubts about the sincerity of my apology, I am willing to provide some financial compensation."

After sending the message, seeing that Cyber ​​Potato had not responded for a long time, he wanted to add some more.

"Oh."

A simple one-word reply floated out.

The incomplete evolved being paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You accept my apology?"

He tried to communicate, but the other party had already entered read-but-not-reply mode.

However, he did not delete his friends, a move that made the incomplete evolver uneasy.

The video interpreting lip reading has become increasingly popular.

"What sense of existence are you looking for, someone who's never won in their entire life and is on the fringes of society?"

"A jobless loser, or a low-level worker with a fixed salary and a dead-end job?"

"What's with all the arrogance and swagger of a guy who's having a bad life!"

The few words spoken by the incomplete evolved being during the battle were perfectly interpreted.

The entire chat room and bullet comments section exploded.

Combined with the previous dialogue's statement "anyone with hands can do it," the incomplete evolver who said this and his Gaia Consciousness Guild's sense of superiority are off the charts, and his inability to accept defeat is also evident.

One comment quickly became a top-rated comment.

Why do you think the [Incomplete Evolver] would say that?

"This isn't something said in the heat of the moment without thinking. Most people's swear words when they're angry are very direct and don't beat around the bush."

“In his few sentences, there was not a single classical Chinese term, but the underlying aggression was exceptionally strong.”

"Why? Because this is what he truly thinks in his heart. He has thought about it more than once, so he can say it smoothly without any obstruction from reason."

"He looks down on people who are weaker than him, and on ordinary people who work hard but are not as good as him. They are the most ordinary and the most numerous group in this world."

The incomplete evolver also saw the comment, and his breathing became rapid.

The comments were like a mirror, truly reflecting his true thoughts at the time.

The analysis was incisive, stripping away his disguise. The feeling of being naked under the sun made the incomplete evolver grit his teeth. He quickly clicked the downvote button, found the report button, and selected the personal attack option.

However, the comments did not disappear, and the number of likes continued to rise.

The lip reader also translated what Jiang Heyi said.

Despite the sarcastic tone, the players' eyes are sharp.

Jiang Heyi was the one who was truly protecting his guild members. His anger was clearly directed at the criticism that "anyone with hands can do it," and even when he was personally attacked, he did not make any extreme remarks.

The contrast between the two guild leaders' calm demeanor after being defeated by Khorne's Chosen, and their statement, "If you take our points, you must go to the World Championship," clearly demonstrates the difference in their abilities.

The line between reality and illusion blurred in the morning when he was portrayed as a clown by a group of people, but by the afternoon, the public opinion environment had reversed.

In the end, there are more ordinary people in this world. The AOE sweeping attack of the incomplete evolved beings ignited the rhythm, and the video became more and more popular and discussed, almost breaking into the mainstream.

His worst fears came true.

Because the contrast is so stark, Gaia consciousness becomes merely a foil for the boundary between reality and illusion in attracting fans.
