T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

The compensation items given to regular players are a Starry Sky Gem with 1 use, plus 10 purple materials.

Players who had been shouting "I'm going to die without the Stars of Proof" immediately perked up, saying they didn't mind the maintenance, and hoped it would be postponed so they could release more items.

……

……

"The public opinion surrounding the game has been properly handled, and the players have accepted your explanation."

On the rooftop of a skyscraper in Guangzhou, Chen Shaoyu watched the woman in white casual clothes sitting on the edge of the rooftop, swinging her legs, and reported the latest developments.

The woman stared blankly at the bustling street illuminated by the orange streetlights, occasionally raising her head to gaze at the myriad lights of the city, then resting her chin on her hands in contemplation.

She was like a player with extremely high latency, taking almost half a minute to respond.

"well-done."

After saying that, she continued to look down intently.

If it were anyone else, Chen Shaoyu would warn them of the danger, but with this person in front of him... he simply pretended not to see it.

"Those monsters..."

After considering it for a moment, Chen Shaoyu swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The woman still delayed by half a minute.

Why not keep asking?

"I'm starting to think that ignorance is a kind of happiness."

The half-minute delay continued.

The woman responded, "Some of you have already been forced to awaken, awake in solitude."

Chen Shaoyu frankly admitted, "That's why I admire them a lot."

"The game may not launch on time, so be prepared to deal with a second wave of public opinion."

……

……

Players who had developed a habit of going to bed on time woke up to find not a notice that maintenance was over, but a notice of postponement.

Is this bug really that serious?

"It's hard to say. The data is messed up. Maybe it's the fault of the underlying code. If things go wrong, we might not be able to play anymore."

Although a new "calming gift pack" was announced immediately after the postponement notice was issued, players inevitably felt somewhat disappointed.

Habits are hard to break once formed.

After entering the dream, one can freely explore another world and roam within it. This wonderful experience is suddenly taken away, leaving every player feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm really going to die if I don't have the Proof of the Stars to play with."

"Just let me play one more game, just one more game."

"I feel like ants are crawling all over my body!"

In the community, because there were no games to play, the withdrawal literature created by players sprang up like mushrooms after rain. It was so pure that even Uncle Hat ran over and took a look and felt it was worth investigating.

Jiang Heyi didn't go crazy; he wasn't at the point where he couldn't function without the Stars' Proof.

His gaming habit allowed him to sleep soundly until dawn.

Poached eggs, soy milk, wontons, and pan-fried dumplings.

Jiang Heyi was somewhat bewildered when she saw the sumptuous breakfast.

It's not a holiday, so why is your breakfast so good and plentiful?

not……

"Squid, is it your birthday?"

Zhong Zemo smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "Me? I'm free from this sea of ​​suffering."

"The Sea of ​​Bitterness..." Jiang Heyi paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It's done?"

"It's done!"

Zhong Zemo breathed a sigh of relief, gestured for Jiang Heyi to sit down, and handed him a bowl and chopsticks with a beaming smile.

After more than a month, Zhong Zemo finally took the final step towards divorce.

If they go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today to confirm, they will no longer be husband and wife.

"She actually agreed?"

Jiang Heyi had thought it would be very troublesome, with all sorts of wrangling and disputes, but the process went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

To be honest, he hadn't heard Zhong Zemo mention divorce for a long time; he only knew that the lawyer sent by the prison guard's family was handling the process for him.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She always had a 'let's get a divorce' attitude, which made things easier for me." Zhong Zemo was overjoyed.

During this time, Du Jingwen's family also came to see Zhong Zemo, saying things like, "There's no such thing as an insurmountable problem between husband and wife. If everyone just gives in, it will pass."

However, Zhong Zemo was adamant. After meeting them once and getting tired of hearing their explanations, he handed them the lawyer's business card and told them to contact the lawyer directly.

Du Jingwen seems to be constantly playing a game of extreme pressure.

"I bet he won't dare to get a divorce."

“I bet he’ll calm down in a few days and come to coax me.”

"I bet he'll realize how good I am to him and admit his mistake."

"I bet he won't dare take me to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"I bet he won't give me half of his assets."

"I bet he won't let me go."

"I bet he's also putting immense pressure on himself."

They kept gambling, and the divorce was just one step away from being finalized.

"You really gave her half?"

"Not that much; she can get 4% of the property."

Jiang Heyi wanted Zhong Zemo to try again, but Zhong Zemo refused.

It had nothing to do with any lingering feelings; he was only disappointed in his childhood sweetheart. The reason he didn't fight for her was simply because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

So be it.

He was content to escape as quickly as possible and start a new life.

The jailer's lawyer also helped with this, and he even subtly implied that Zhong Zemo benefited from this arrangement.

"Does she know about what you did in Proof of the Stars?"

"Do you dare let her know?" Zhong Zemo said. "Guess why I'm demanding a quick resolution?"

Once Du Jingwen learns that Zhong Zemo has achieved both fame and fortune, her feelings will likely be quite interesting.

Thinking about this, Jiang Heyi actually felt a sense of anticipation.

After finishing his meal, Zhong Zemo took the documents and went out.

Perhaps knowing that he was about to be free, he was in better spirits than ever before, just like when he first met Jiang Heyi.

At 10 a.m., Zhong Zemo posted the results in the group chat.

"We're divorced."

With just two simple words, Zhong Zemo then sent a series of smiley face emojis.

"Today is a good day, a good day~~~~"

In the group chat where the lines between reality and virtuality blurred, bottles of champagne were being opened one by one to celebrate Zhong Zemo's rebirth.

Chapter 114 The First Offline Gathering at the Boundary Between Reality and Virtuality

On the eve of the National Day holiday, Zhong Zemo felt refreshed as he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, free from a nightmare that had plagued him for more than two years.

"Thank you, Attorney Zhang." He expressed his gratitude to the lawyer sent by the prison guard.

"You're welcome." A smile also spread across Attorney Zhang's square face. "You should thank the other side for being so cooperative, otherwise, divorce... well, that's another story."

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Du Jingwen stood not far away, looking in this direction.

Her family members didn't come; apparently, they had also argued with her about the divorce.

“I have a train ticket for noon, so I’m going back to Guangfu first. If any other property disputes arise later, you can contact me again.” Attorney Zhang politely declined the red envelope Zhong Zemo offered. “You and Shucheng are friends. If you do this, I won’t be able to face anyone when I go back.”

When did you meet the top lawyer?

After Attorney Zhang left, Du Jingwen came over; she had been curious about this matter for a long time.

She boasted that she had a thorough understanding of Zhong Zemo's interpersonal relationships.

“It was introduced by a friend in the game,” Zhong Zemo explained calmly. “Alright, we’re divorced. I’ve given you the property at market value, and the division of joint property is over. We’re no longer related.”

Du Jingwen snorted dismissively, "Then thank you for compensating me for my youth."

"You're welcome, and thank you for giving me my freedom."

Zhong Zemo did not retaliate, which was out of consideration for Du Jingwen's cooperation in the final stage, and to leave her with a last bit of dignity in front of the public.

With the distance and politeness one would show to a stranger, he calmly added a sentence.

"I'm curious, if you leave me, can you find the life you've always dreamed of?"

This statement seemed to have stepped on Du Jingwen's tail.

"You don't think I'll be miserable without you, do you?"

Zhong Zemo's indifferent attitude made her particularly curious; how had he suddenly changed his personality?

However, Zhong Zemo no longer bothered to explain; he had very important things to do today.

Back at Jiang Heyi's house, he had already packed his luggage.

The holiday is about to begin, and tonight will be the first offline gathering at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

After midnight, the two-day maintenance of the Stars' Proof will also end.

On the first day after the divorce, so many good things are happening!

They booked afternoon tickets, and arrived in Guangfu just as it got dark.

Carrying large and small bags, the two of them boarded the subway amidst the throng of people.

The prison guard had originally planned to pick people up at the station, but considering that the subway might be more welcoming, he abandoned the idea and instead gathered at the hotel.

Jiang Heyi casually looked up the hotel's name on the way.

"As expected of you." That's what she exclaimed.

He casually paid the bill for a five-star hotel, even at holiday rates.

Jiang Heyi posted a photo of a crowded subway in the group chat, and the prison guard even laughed.

"This is also an essential part that you must try."

At the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, everyone else had received their own ticket stubs.

Siyuanti's train was only 30 minutes later than Jiang Heyi's group's. Because he forgot to plan his trip, he had to pay extra to snag a standing ticket, which was a huge rip-off.

Since I didn't have any classes today, I had already made plans and checked into the hotel, but I hadn't run into the jailer yet.

Orange Tea also had no classes in the afternoon, so she had already arrived near the hotel.

Only the plain fries didn't say much, only that they would appear at the appointed time.

She's so mysterious; she's the only one in the entire guild who hasn't revealed her real name yet. I'm definitely going to give her a good beating when we meet!

After Jiang Heyi checked in and put away her luggage, the prison guard sent her a coordinate. It was a restaurant not far from the hotel, and you could tell from the reviews on the app that it was a very business-like place.

"It's not this one?" Orange Tea curiously posted a photo of a teahouse.

"Wow, you guys finally made it here, I'll take you there to eat. Even if I can tolerate it, my dad will kill me if he finds out."
