At the start of the game, the protagonist was chased and robbed by players because of his poor-quality potions and bad personality. After that, he became an unknown nobody who was ignored by everyone.

Starting in the afternoon, some players on the Chinese server began petitioning, hoping that the official would announce whether the Mint Pendant could indeed add hidden panel attributes.

Clearly, Starfire Campfire paid no heed to these sounds.

At dinner time, Jiang Heyi and French Fries were staring at each other's lips, while the other buried his head in his carbs.

The ringing of the cell phone broke the romantic atmosphere between the two.

It belongs to the jailer.

Sigh, you really know how to pick your timing.

"what happened?"

"Holy crap, this is a disaster! This is a huge disaster!"

"Explain yourself clearly," Jiang Heyi said. "What do you mean by 'going too far'?"

"The mint pendant!" the jailer exclaimed. "During the raid, Orange Tea took out that pendant, and someone found it in the security footage!"

"Huh?" Jiang Heyi stopped eating and waved at the fries. "Don't hang up yet."

She immediately understood, unlocked her phone, handed it over, and then, holding a rice bowl, went around behind Jiang Heyi to browse the links in the group chat.

"Breaking news! The secret to the Tea Master's good fortune!"

During the settlement phase of the previous Black Cat strategy, there was a brief moment when the Tea God took out the Mint pendant and kissed it.

Since the World Championships, Mint has been carrying the pendant with her ever since she gave it to Tea Goddess, regarding it as a constant companion to her mother, Mint.

It was such a brief moment, less than two seconds of screen shaking, that it was found by FrameWatcher.

Now Jiang Heyi understood why the prison guard had panicked.

Browsing through the comments section, the replies were as expected.

"Holy crap, is this the secret to the Tea Master's good fortune?"

"There's a huge hidden secret at the boundary between the real and the virtual; no wonder they're so incredibly lucky."

"Wow, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds is so well-fed, they haven't let a single word out."

"So, it's confirmed, the pendant really works?"

"I think it really works, otherwise the Tea God's luck would be too superhuman."

"I really have to apologize to Mint now."

"Wait, this is too blurry. Can we really be sure it's a mint pendant?"

"Indeed, the details are too difficult to match; we can only say they are somewhat similar."

"DIY decorations are not impossible; there's always been a market for lifestyle enthusiasts, isn't there?"

"Sigh, it's useless for you to say all this. They will only see what they want to see. Tonight, a lot of mints are going to suffer again."

The fact that they can scrutinize every frame and detail like this shows that someone has been paying attention to the Tea Goddess all along, trying to find the secret to her good fortune.

Players who haven't run dungeons with the Tea Goddess can't understand her seemingly cheat-like luck, and it's understandable that they would try to find clues to obtain "lucky" items.

Unexpectedly, this trend coincided with the popularity of mint pendants.

This made the fire burn even brighter.

Orange Tea has a much higher sense of morality than others on the boundary between reality and illusion. At this moment, she actually feels guilty, thinking that she may have caused the deaths of many Mint Mothers.

“The Mint in other players’ worlds and the Mint in our worlds are not the same person,” Jiang Heyi explained reassuringly. “The one you like is Mint Mom, who has been with us in the game for four months and has taken care of us in everything, not the neurotic witch in other players’ worlds.”

This explanation made Orange Tea feel a little better.

However, Jiang Heyi still had some concerns.

Unlike the other members of the guild, Orange Tea found it difficult to separate the virtual world from reality after playing Proof of the Stars. This sense of guilt... it's hard to imagine what would happen if they had an accident in the game one day and lost an important character.

Then again...

Will he really be able to remain unaffected by the situation?

Having traveled this far, Jiang Heyi has come to realize the most profound influence the stars have had on them.

The more time and emotion you invest, the more you'll believe that everything in the game is real.

It's a natural expression of emotion. Even if you're a veteran gamer and try to downplay its impact by making light of it, it still exists.

Even someone as capable as the jailer, upon realizing the fire might escalate further, immediately called Jiang Heyi for advice, proving that he too had momentarily panicked.

Didn't the relevant personnel in various countries assess the potential psychological, moral, and ethical risks of allowing the operation of the Stars of Witness?

Jiang Heyi's inner confusion was growing stronger.

He messaged him privately, "It's Heiyun!" Upon seeing that it was Jiang Heyi, this popular gaming content creator was overjoyed.

As the top PVE guild in the current Stars of War, Virtual Boundary has always been known for its focus on playing its own game without excessive marketing.

They came to me now simply to see what happened next in the Mint incident.

Trading one audience seat for a friend's seat is such a great deal!

"Isn't President Potato supposed to be conquering the ninth floor tonight? It seems the mint pendant is really tempting; even you're tempted."

Jiang Heyi could only reply, "It was out of curiosity."

With all these doubts piling up, his curiosity was truly irrepressible.

If Mint establishes a normal connection with players and assists them in completing the storyline related to the capital, it would be another win-win situation.

Giving that pendant to the dawn redwood would be a lose-lose situation for both of them.

After going live, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds did not immediately extend to the world bubble of the black cloud.

They went straight to the capital and found Old Deng, who was by Kurion's side.

"Why are you back so soon?" Old Deng asked impatiently. "Disappointed with the reward? Don't push your luck, young man..."

It seems he's still afraid of being criticized by Old Deng.

Upon hearing that it was only to see Mint, who was studying at the library, Old Deng fell silent.

“Just a meeting, I can give permission,” Old Deng snorted. “Don’t even think about trying to cheat me.”

It seems Old Deng has a lot of influence. He can enter such an important place as the Imperial Library just by using his face, and he can even break the rules to bring people in.

What exactly is his identity?

Mint was in a private cubicle, with a table piled high with books in front of her.

At this moment, relying on his super memory, he is absorbing the necessary knowledge at a glance.

A light knock on the cubicle interrupted her thoughts.

Mint pushed open the door unhappily, about to burst into a tirade.

The sight of the boundary between reality and illusion made her immediately swallow her words and quickly put on a bewildered expression.

"W-why is it you?"

"Why are Orange Tea's eyes red? Did you get bullied?"

Mint flew into a rage: "Do you need my help?"

She put the book back and said urgently, "Let's go, let's go, let's leave right now!"

When Mint was hugged by Orange Tea, she was still confused and looked to the others for answers.

Jiang Heyi concealed her true feelings and spoke lightly.

"It's been so long, everyone misses you a little, that's all."

Mint was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

"They're such a bunch of immature kids. They really can't do without me."

Chapter 216 Is it too late to regret it now?

Before leaving, Mint asked everyone about their situation again, just to make sure they were alright. Then, she couldn't help but hum a little tune with a touch of smug satisfaction.

Besides the Metasequoia Mother and others, there are still people in the world who remember her and need her. It feels so good!

"Hey hey hey~~"

A meeting with peppermint is akin to psychotherapy.

It's amazing how the boundary between reality and virtuality has unknowingly created a little nest within the game.

A bunch of reliable but not-so-reliable puppets who really like riddles are in charge of the guild's daily maintenance and construction after they've handed over their responsibilities.

Two companions who have confirmed their stay.

Perhaps in the future, we can even fit a giant slime inside.

Jiang Heyi sent a message to Heiyun, who immediately sent a World Bubble invitation.

This is also one of the ways to play Stellaris; different players will have significantly different world bubbles depending on the progress of the game.

By visiting other people's world bubbles and comparing them with one's own progress, one can see the impact of missing certain people, things, or events.

It's very similar to a world event simulator.

As a major content creator, Heiyun has a team of 10 people and a total of 137 members in the guild, making it a truly large guild.

Knowing that the boundary between reality and illusion was approaching, most of the guild members who were online that evening put down what they were doing and came over to say hello.

Due to their advanced progress and astonishing strength, ordinary players cannot even see the boundary between reality and illusion, let alone interact with them.

"Wow, what is that dark blue scale armor that President Potato is wearing... with a gradient effect, it has such a deep and mysterious visual effect."

"Don't you ever check your feed? This is the first rainbow-tier equipment set [Tidecaller] on the entire server. The effects are insane. It can support, tank, and deal damage."

"What's that outfit that Brother Squid is wearing? It's so cool! The light gold armor with lion patterns and a cape looks like animal skin."

As soon as he got his hands on Kurion's set, Squid Bro asked a crafting player to dye it for him, and the light gold and orange color scheme was particularly eye-catching.

"Isn't this the set reward from the World War? Why are Fries and Bed Girl wearing it?"

"Wow, this is amazing! They have all sorts of great stuff. We've been playing this game for over four months and we're still figuring out how to maximize the effects of mixing and matching."

"Wait a minute, why doesn't the jailer have anything?"

"That's what necromancers are like."

Everyone who sees him is curious why he doesn't have any new equipment.

What did the necromancer do to you?

Don't necromancers have human rights?!

The jailer wanted to speak up for necromancers, to dispel stereotypes, because they also need equipment and decorations, and are not mutant summoners who hide in the back and manipulate corpses.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I need to handle a small task temporarily."

Hei Yun created a roguish and handsome forest elf character for himself.

"It's okay, we also have pigeons here who couldn't log on on time."

"Oh?" Jiang Heyi smiled. "What's the reason?"

"The baby was just born, I'm trying to soothe the baby."

The vampire covered his face shyly, his expression filled with happiness.

“My wife takes care of me during the day, and I play games at night and then I just sleep. When the kids are noisy, she takes care of them. I feel a little guilty, so I delayed a bit.”

The guild members watching erupted in cheers, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a school campus.

He asked in bed, "Does your wife support you playing video games?"

"She thought playing games was better than smoking, drinking, gambling, and whoring. There was nothing wrong with staying home after work and saving money... She even replaced my graphics card with a new one, even though she knew nothing about computer parts and ended up getting a refurbished card."

Hei Yun explained, "I helped him get it back, so I still have some influence."

The most useful episode with the most fans!

The boundary between reality and illusion is blurred, and everyone is giving Zhong Zemo a sidelong glance.

The respected teacher and game enthusiast with no bad habits, Squid Bro, noticed everyone's gazes.
