T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

It complements light-attribute potions, giving it the power to blind people.

This time, there wasn't even a shadow under their feet to stand on.

There are only two monsters in this passage.

"What the hell is that?" Zhong Zemo glanced back, drenched in cold sweat. "Where did it come from?"

Orange Tea swallowed hard, her breathing rapid: "I... I always felt like something was watching me... so, so I just used an unknown revelation once... it told me, 'Underfoot'."

No wonder we hadn't found the monsters after walking for so long. We thought it was a false revelation, but it turns out they had been lurking in the undetectable shadows, following us.

The light overflowing the passage seemed to frighten the two lines, and after being discovered, they maintained a semi-bent posture.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a move that allows them to unleash their full power.

No one dared to make a move. The two sides stood facing each other cautiously, like two wild beasts that had suddenly met in the jungle.

The shield magic of Orange Tea broke the silence between the two sides. Jiang Heyi's eyes caught a fleeting black shadow, and he subconsciously raised his knife and slashed it into the air.

They have no skills, relying entirely on their physical instincts.

Just as the blade's power was about to subside, the shadowy figure's claws, as hard as metal, fiercely extended.

The same goes for the original flavor fries. Her long knife sparked a burst of fire, and the bright flames swung in an arc in mid-air. At the end of the fire knife, sharp claws came tearing through the air.

The two forces collided at a single point, producing a deafening sound as metal struck metal, whipping up a gale and sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

Although they were prepared, the explosive power and strength of the two sides were clearly not on the same level. Jiang Heyi and Original Flavor Fries plunged their knives into the ground and slid back, crashing into Zhong Zemo's large shield, which dissipated all the power released by the two monsters.

Zhong Zemo quickly stepped forward, placing the reassuringly large shield in front of the two of them.

The monster's silhouette did not immediately launch a second attack. Their claws glowed with a silvery-white light, and their unseen mouths emitted low, rhythmic "uh-uh" sounds.

After recovering, Jiang Heyi reminded everyone, "The light is dim, the light is dim."

The monster's hands trembled incessantly, leaving corrosive marks on the weapon enchanted by the light-attribute potion. The sizzling sound of burning blended with its deep, intimidating aura.

“Their hands…” the jailer reminded him.

The injured hand revealed the physical form of flesh and blood, with gray-black hair and blood-red liquid showing through.

No longer empty lines, the rough lines that stepped from the canvas into reality were filled with color within a few breaths.

"Werewolf..." the original-flavored fries murmured.

“Moreover, he’s a werewolf who can dance with the shadows,” Jiang Heyi added.

Zhong Zemo felt a chill run down his spine: "What should we do?"

Before he finished speaking, the werewolf vanished from the spot like ink.

This time it was even faster, and no one could see it at all.

Jiang Heyi moved. He leaped up and held the enchanted dagger across his chest.

The next second, the werewolf appeared, its claws aimed straight at the jellyfish behind Jiang Heyi.

The intense light emitted by this being, which was formed from a ball of illumination, irritated them.

Jiang Heyi captured this crucial information.

"【Desperate!】!"

The moment the claws made contact with the blade, a tingling, trembling sensation spread throughout his body, and he converted all the shields that the jailer and Orange Tea had given him into the power to counterattack.

When facing monsters of this level, you must be greedy for damage.

The blade flashed like a full moon, and a look of surprise appeared in the werewolf's scarlet eyes. He immediately switched from offense to defense, protecting his head with both hands.

The next second, the blade flashed and the explosion pushed the two people in two different directions.

At the same time, Zhong Zemo's giant shield came into close contact with another werewolf, slamming it against the rock wall like a battering ram, rendering it immobile.

The werewolf's target was orange tea.

The original-flavor fries also understood its intention, and the Void Slash landed squarely on the werewolf's foot, which was caught off guard and had no time to change its stance after it appeared.

This was the point where its terrifying power was about to be unleashed; the sudden, intense pain caused its claws to shift.

The jailer's released ice spike pierced through its still-intact foot.

The werewolf let out a painful howl as its talent was triggered, causing its body to become ethereal, as if it would disappear into the shadows at any moment.

Despite feeling dizzy, the plain fries followed the sound.

She stepped onto Zhong Zemo's body, leaped onto the werewolf's head, and thrust her long sword down forcefully towards the gaping maw that was howling at the sky.

She didn't believe that the monster's body was as hard as metal.

The blade, shimmering with silvery-white light and radiating dark red flames, rapidly expanded in the werewolf's eyes, as terror, helplessness, and fear flickered within them.

"Stab~~~"

It pierced through the throat and disappeared into the flesh.

The coldness on the once delicate and beautiful face of the original-flavor fries was gone, replaced by a hint of gleeful rage that made her bloodstained face alluring.

The long knife was turned, and the flesh and blood churned.

The werewolf's outstretched hands froze in mid-air, and its illusory body regained its realism.

The werewolf that collided with Jiang Heyi flipped over and got up.

Jiang Heyi glanced at the jellyfish that had started spewing bubbles in mid-air, and was getting up, pulling out the original-flavored fries from the long knife that had torn apart his companion's throat.

It was only stunned for a moment before it swiftly disappeared into the shadows.

It chose to run away.

Chapter 10: Never before has there been such a wonderful start.

Just as Jiang Heyi had predicted, it was difficult to fight, but not impossible.

In that instant, his and the original flavor fries' reactions and actions were at their maximum. Predicting and countering—if either one was not done well, the team would inevitably suffer losses.

Dancing on the edge of a knife, challenging difficult monsters and successfully bringing immense satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, Jiang Heyi's heart pounded.

He performed an extreme maneuver, personally eliminating a werewolf with his original-flavor fries while maintaining a calm expression, as if he had done something insignificant.

However, her unconscious rubbing of her fingers betrayed her unsettled state of mind.

"Do you understand the value of Ice Spike? Do you understand the value of Elemental Shield?" The jailer raised his hands high. "Awesome! We are the champions!"

The "original flavor fries" persona couldn't hold up anymore, and she covered her forehead.

Orange Tea looked blankly at Zhong Zemo beside her.

"We usually call this the battlefield atmosphere group. Although their contribution is small, they have a lot of voices."

It's a bit premature to let Orange Tea understand the ultimate fun-loving nature of the prison guard.

The werewolf's life force was exhausted, and pale blue light rose up. In an instant, its body was torn to pieces.

The rainbow-like light from the firefly screen made everyone's eyes widen.

"Holy crap!" the jailer shouted, raising his arms. "I've never had such a wonderful start!"

The first battle after teleporting yielded a rainbow; is the drop rate really that high?

"Orange Tea, go and draw the lottery."

Orange Tea was taken aback when Jiang Heyi called her name.

"Ah, me?"

No one objected to this decision.

[Unknown revelations] are highly uncertain, and the voices in the revelations can sometimes lead you astray with a sinister twist.

As the skill description says, what comes from prayer is not necessarily goodwill.

However, all the insights Orange Tea has received so far have been positive, especially considering that she was gifted purple materials and equipment by an unknown witch shortly after entering the game...

When playing games, one always has to believe in some superstition.

As you lightly touch the iridescent bubbles with your fingertips, a dazzling rainbow of light fills the passageway.

20 customizable avatar fragments.

Even the most composed plain fries couldn't stay calm.

As a result, Jiang Heyi only got 10 selectable avatar fragments from the rainbow drop in the short essay, while Orange Tea got twice as many as he did with a casual opening.

"Is this... a good thing?"

Orange Tea was unaware that this phrase was considered taboo in many gaming groups.

Pretending to be a complete newbie who knows nothing about the game just to show off their loot drop records, this premeditated Leopard Jump is known for its obvious starting move.

But coming from Orange Tea, it all sounded perfectly natural.

“If you remove the ‘吗’ (ma), it’s a good thing, a rare find,” Zhong Zemo explained.

Although no one has unlocked the avatar-related content yet, its extremely high difficulty in obtaining makes it anything but ordinary.

No game designer would design the most difficult-to-obtain items and materials to be completely useless, right?

Could there really be such an outrageous plan and manufacturer?

Unlike basic materials, avatar fragments are bound upon acquisition and cannot be traded or gifted.

As the team leader, Jiang Heyi has the authority to coordinate the allocation of resources such as dropped items.

After exchanging a glance with the original-flavored fries, he suggested, "The scraps go to Orange Tea, since she contributed the most. I'll keep the other ingredients for now and distribute them when we get back."

Orange Tea pointed to herself in surprise, somewhat incredulous at the distribution results.

After all, she said when she joined that her allocation order could be lower, or even less.

The jailer, who was the loudest in claiming credit, was the first to agree, followed by Original Fries and Zhong Zemo.

Orange Tea, who doesn't play games much, didn't know that, compared to the friction during cooperative gameplay, the distribution of dropped items was the biggest problem that broke up countless teams.

Those who can be as considerate as Jiang Heyi in completing the allocation are usually from a small circle with very good relationships and who know each other well.

More than the ownership of the valuable materials, everyone is concerned about whether they can still enjoy playing the game together tomorrow.

A good social atmosphere and gaming partners with similar values ​​are priceless.

For such a small circle to accept someone, everyone must vet them.

When Jiang Heyi announced that the best drop would go to her, it proved that the orange tea had basically gained everyone's approval.

After a brief recovery, the group began to return the way they came.

Because one werewolf escaped, the jailer used all his magic to maintain the six light jellyfish above the team's heads.

As if intimidated by the strength of Jiang Heyi's team, they were not attacked again.

Back in the empty underground plaza, Jiang Heyi decided to walk towards the middle passage where Orange Tea had only received silence in response to his two revelations.

It didn't take long for them to reach the end.

"dead end?"

Confused, Zhong Zemo slammed his shield against the thick rock wall.

As a skilled Souls-like player, you'll always find yourself venturing into challenging and exploratory situations when faced with walls that don't quite fit together.

The force feedback was incredibly realistic; Zhong Zemo's hands went numb, but the wall remained completely still.

To be on the safe side, the jailer cast an earth element spell, but after resonating with the wall, it did not trigger any unusual phenomena.

This place is nothing special.

"Orange tea, another revelation."

After several such incidents, Jiang Heyi and the others had come to believe in the incredible good fortune brought by the orange tea.

As soon as Orange Tea opened its eyes, the jailer couldn't wait to ask, "What did it say this time?"

"lamp."

"A lamp?" Zhong Zemo loosened his grip on the shield. "What do you mean?"

"Huh?" Jiang Heyi responded subconsciously.
