T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"The well-known gaming expert Lao Yun, wearing a pendant, challenged the Necropolis near Xiangfeng City and got 3 red items in 2 days. That's amazing."

He believes the pendant definitely works, but he hasn't explicitly stated the data.

"Now he wears it around his neck every time he goes down to the battlefield."

Click on the video, and you'll see a compilation of clips of this gaming pro player falling, complete with the timestamps.

He happened to be live streaming, and Jiang Heyi went in to take a look.

The live stream was mostly filled with players who had acquired the Stars of Proof skill, and they all had the same topic: Is the pendant really useful?

Old Yun, wearing a virtual suit, confidently declared: "Anyway, I feel that the drop rate has obviously increased when I wear it. Not to mention that I've gotten 3 red items in the last two days, there are also quite a few purple materials and basic green and white items."

"how to prove?"

"There's definitely no way to prove that unless you dig out the Stellaris code and take a look, but I just feel like it works."

"Well, opinions vary, but I killed Mint. I think that's the right thing to do. Those potions are trash. The only valuable thing about him is this pendant."

Previously, someone discovered that killing mints had a chance to drop a lucky charm, and after the news spread, a craze for killing mints arose for a while.

However, most players are actually unwilling to kill NPCs casually. They worry that there are unknown storylines behind these characters waiting to be triggered, and they don't want their world bubble to lose some possibilities.

The influence of Bilibili's nearly one million followers far surpasses what can be gleaned from hearsay or a few posts in the community.

As the number of messages forwarded in chat groups surged, the number of people coming to the live stream also skyrocketed.

Since some players had previously reported that some people got the item from killing Mint while others didn't, many people have been asking Lao Yun if he triggered any special dialogue during the battle.

"If you insist on saying, yes, there was something," Old Yun recalled. "At first, she was very stubborn, kept cursing at me, throwing potions at me, and running away in various ways. She was very annoying."

"After being seriously injured, she took out a witch's hat, seemingly to take out something, but it was hit by my magic and shattered."

"After that, I kept muttering about 'Metasequoia Mom' and stuff."

"So, does anyone know where 'Mother Metasequoia' is?"

Originally, this was just for fun for the players.

Items that add good luck attributes seem worth trying no matter how you look at it.

But those who live on the boundary between reality and illusion have a very complicated feeling when they see this.

The prison guard enlightened everyone through his actions.

He tipped Lao Yun 200 yuan and gained access to the prominent comment function.

“There’s a nun named Metasequoia in a church near Windpod City, on the outskirts of Hotfat City. You can go and take a look.”

"Thanks to [Nun Jailer My Favorite] for the donation... What an amazing ID."

Halfway through the reading, Lao Yun couldn't hold back anymore.

He read the message, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Really?"

He dug up the prison guard's reply.

"Really, why don't you try and see if you can trigger the next part of the story?"

"I noticed a name that's been hidden on the pendant. Maybe it refers to Metasequoia. Perhaps the other person also has items that boost their luck."

The blanket also gave a tip.

"Could the streamer go and explore the subsequent plot? I'm very curious."

"Thank you to the captain of [Battle of the Blanket Monster] for opening the account and for the reward."

Lao Yun didn't expect everyone to be so curious, and suddenly felt like he had discovered his own unique "Proof of the Stars" track.

He readily agreed, "No problem, I'll go take a look tonight."

The live stream was very lively. Judging from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, everyone was eager to try and defeat Mint.

The prison guard chimed in the group chat: "Phew, spending 200 yuan for such a good laugh is totally worth it!"

The blankets were also excited: "It's a pity, we won't see the sequel until tomorrow."

Orange Tea said sadly, "So many people are planning to kill Mint."

“It can’t be stopped,” Jiang Heyi said.

The jailer is still the same idea genius. He said, "Think about it from another angle, and our mint will be unique."

He added, "Let's make this clear first, don't say I have a dark side."

There's nothing psychologically dark about it.

Having something that others don't has always gives people a secret sense of satisfaction; otherwise, why would wealthy players in the past be willing to spend lavishly to climb the rankings in online games?

The game "Proof of the Stars" is full of choices, and Jiang Heyi may have missed many special characters like Mint, while others happen to have them but are unwilling to reveal them.

It doesn't matter, as long as their world bubble mint is still doing well, that's enough.

Modo modo, there's more coming later.

Chapter 214 I couldn't taste it

Lao Yun's live stream continued, and people in the community who saw the eye-catching comment posted one after another, causing a stir in the community.

"Breaking news! Someone has leaked information that the mint pendant can unlock subsequent storylines."

"The Mint Lucky Charm Pendant is not only effective, but it can also unlock hidden storylines?"

"Killing Mint will unlock a special storyline!"

Just a few posts have vividly demonstrated the funnel effect of information dissemination.

They were watching the same live stream, but the information they came up with was completely different.

Jiang Heyi could imagine what kind of discussion would arise if short video platform creators intercepted and forwarded community information at this very moment.

Will Mint be permanently missing from the Worlds chat of half of the Chinese players after this wave of popularity?

Zhong Zemo clicked his tongue: "Guard, are you staging a cyber massacre?"

"Hey, don't just eat half the melon, a teacher can't wrong an innocent person!" the jailer cried out, accusing the man of being wronged.

"The one who thinks you can get a lucky pendant and makes a video that gets millions of views is called..." He switched back to look at the name, "'It's Black Cloud,' that's the ID."

"If there really is a cyber massacre, he started it. I was just the one who guided them to see the subsequent plot. They should thank me."

At the same time, the Chinese server operators have also noticed the latest hot topics among players.

Keywords such as "mint," "hidden storyline," and "lucky charm effective" are rapidly gaining traction among StarCraft players through multiple channels.

"Is there really a hidden plot?"

"They even give me a pendant that adds hidden panel attributes. Although Mint and I are on good terms... Oh well, I'll just be wicked for once."

"Me too. I just started getting to know Mint, and she occasionally gives me a few bottles of cheap potions... Oh well, what can I do? Your props are so tempting."

"Forgive me, Mint!"

Soon, this content was translated and distributed by foreign service providers active in the country.

In her office, which belonged solely to the candlelight, she silently observed everything.

Even though the chat group didn't cross the line between the virtual and real worlds, Candlelight was still able to obtain their real-time information.

Upon hearing Zhong Zemo mention "cyber massacre," a slight smile appeared on her usually stern face.

Is this also part of fate?

It was almost noon when Jiang Heyi went to the kitchen and whipped up the dish that fries had been craving all day.

Braised beef brisket with potatoes.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs.

Stir-fried bean sprouts.

Seaweed, shrimp paste, and egg drop soup.

Large chunks of soft, tender potatoes, combined with tender, mushy beef brisket, made the rice in the fries bowl disappear in no time.

She has such a good appetite.

A combination of starchy, high-carbohydrate foods, hard to get right.

No matter how many times, Jiang Heyi would marvel at how she could eat so much fries and yet not gain weight; she must have a really good constitution.

"Want to work out with me later?"

"Burpe?"

Thinking about the high intensity of eating 100 French fries, Jiang Heyi felt a little apprehensive.

“You’re just starting out, so I won’t take you on such high-intensity workouts. Try pushing yourself to exhaustion first, and I’ll help you correct your form and work with you.”

Having said that, Jiang Heyi had no reason to refuse.

But...

"Can I hug you after practice?"

"what?"

"is it not OK?"

"It's not impossible..."

"Can it take longer than last time?"

"Whatever... Ugh, no, I'll sweat and feel sticky after training."

"Then now!"

Jiang Heyi's offensive was like a whirlwind, and even the fries who were still shoveling rice turned bright red.

Although both of them underwent the rigorous training of Kesha, Jiang Heyi's learning was more thorough because he directly experienced Kesha's charm.

Applying what you've learned has yielded surprisingly good results, transforming the French fries from their altered form into something somewhere between awkward and straightforward.

Before the dishes were even cleared and the fries had even been wiped clean, Jiang Heyi couldn't wait to hug her and collapse onto the sofa.

Last time it was too rushed, and I didn't get to experience it properly.

French fries have such smooth skin and smell so good... The shower gel and shampoo really do have such long-lasting fragrance.

These are strange little bits of knowledge that single people can't learn.

"fries."

"Just hug me... don't say anything weird."

"But you smell so good." The warmth of your body so close made Jiang Heyi's body feel hot too. "It reminds me of that joke."

"What's wrong? I'm not a 'brother'."

“Yes, it used to be.” Jiang Heyi smiled.

French fries were also taken aback, and couldn't help but smile.

When they first met, Jiang Heyi had no idea he was a girl. When the "brother, brother" meme came out, everyone in the group was photoshopping pictures like crazy.

"Do you think there might be someone in our group who's been pretending to be a guy but is actually a girl?"

"Didn't you make your girlfriends' identities public? There are only a few of them, the rest are guys."

"Well, who knows, like fries."

"Wake up, Fries lives in R'lyeh. Do you dare to assume the gender of the Old God's followers?"

A man's intuition is quite strong, but Jiang Heyi didn't care about that at all and always treated her like a buddy.

His assessment of the fries was: "They played well, but it's so frustrating that they didn't turn on their microphones!"

At first, they complained and grumbled, but later they simply accepted everything.

Thinking about it carefully... those memories are quite interesting.

She unconsciously lay down in Jiang Heyi's arms.

"Your heart is beating so fast."

"There's no way around it... this is how it is when I like you."
