T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Although she tried hard to memorize things before she arrived, including combat skills, magical knowledge, and humanities, geography, and history, when it came time to use them, it was like being in an exam hall—her mind was a complete mess.

Jiang Heyi had crammed so much information, yet she still managed to systematically filter and organize it, creating a self-made strategy guide to prepare for a speedrun three years later. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

After learning about their experiences, Jiang Heyi felt quite sorry for them.

He didn't suffer much after landing and entered a safe zone, smoothly passing through the most dangerous phase.

Both the tetrapod and the bedding were a bit moldy.

An elemental mage starts by confronting a major historical event head-on, facing the plague of beasts right from the start.

Another landing in an uninhabited area, a wilderness survival "wild man" mode.

"Is there any news from anyone else?" the Tetras asked anxiously.

Jiang Heyi shook his head.

"I haven't seen any changes in other major historical events."

He rested his chin on the blanket, his lips pouting.

"I've experienced it myself during this period, and shield countermeasures are very difficult to implement in reality... Squid, please don't rely on path dependency and accidentally send it."

Jiang Heyi comforted him, "In your eyes, is he such a stupid person?"

"Hard to say."

"Actually, I'm not too worried about Cuttlefish and Fries. You know the strength of a martial artist's landing. Even I can fight alongside seasoned adventurers. Just imagine what it would be like if Fries landed?"

The two looked up in unison, their minds filled with the gruesome image of a bloodthirsty French fry, covered in ketchup, crawling out of a pile of corpses.

Humans are the root of all problems; if you kill all the people, the problems will disappear.

Before the arrival of the fries, in response to everyone's nervous teasing, this is how French fries comforted them.

No problem!

This is not meant to comfort!

In the end, there were as many as five physical training instructors for French fries.

Without exception, they were all top experts who dominated their respective sides. They marveled at the fries, each radiating the joy of having found a treasure.

Given that in the world of Anna, those without magic have a very low social status, so Fries underwent advanced training as a magic warrior.

In the early stages of her arrival, she might still be wielding a knife and gesturing at people.

Once you get past the initial stage, it's all about using a knife in one hand and a fireball in the other to tell you, "I don't eat ketchup."

The Four Primordial Bodies said, "It seems the only problems are with the jailer and the tea master."

Jiang Heyi nodded: "Yes, one of them is a necromancer, and the other is a three-in-one faction of summoning, beast taming, and healing. They both need magic to be effective."

He swallowed hard, then suddenly became worried: "You have experience in life-or-death battles, will you be alright?"

"I'm not too worried about the Tea Goddess; she's very composed. As for the jailer..."

After getting together with the Tea God, the jailer brother wasn't as lively, but that's only relatively speaking.

Reducing life experience beyond the age of 30 might be a good thing, a way to control variables.

But for the jailer, nothing changed.

What control variable is there? Has it ever changed?

Jiang Heyi rubbed his temples, got up, and drew back the curtains, letting the stubborn warmth of the sun shine brightly into the somewhat dim room through the dark clouds.

He gazed at the bustling streets of the Keklinan district in the distance and spoke slowly.

"Worrying about them is useless; let's do what we should be doing now."

The woman in bed asked, "For example?"

"Making money," Jiang Heyi said. "This isn't a game where you can just dump goods on merchants and get gold coins, or run dungeons and get tons of hard currency. We need to accumulate some wealth so we can act in three years."

The Primarch tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "What's your plan?"

"How much power and influence do you have as the Southern District Governor?"

“Brendan entrusted me with managing everything except the tax collection,” Quadruple asked. “He’s an old-fashioned nobleman, with a strong sense of justice and pride. He’ll be very upset if I abuse my power for personal gain.”

“Doing this would easily ruin this hard-won stronghold. I won’t touch it unless you tell me,” Jiang Heyi said. “What I want is the part related to the Adventurers’ Guild.”

“Then I can speak for myself. This part was originally established by Brendan to maintain stability and reduce security expenditures. You can just consider the vast majority of adventurers in this area as outsourced workers who risk their lives.”

After a pause, the Primal Body added, "It's very difficult for ordinary people to make a living. You don't want to compete with them for every grain of rice between their teeth, do you?"

Jiang Heyi sighed and said, "How did I end up as such a despicable character in your eyes, making sacrifices to save the world right now?"

The Primordial One covered its face and apologized: "Sorry, after serving as an archon for a while, it feels like I'm back to my old job. You know, my boss is a beast."

Jiang Heyi said to tap her head lightly.

"In the forests and valleys bordering the northwestern border of the empire and various ethnic groups, there are not only monsters and beasts, but also a large number of bandits and robbers who make a living by plundering."

"A two-faced person who uses the guise of an adventurer to do despicable things in secret."

"An irregular slave smuggling ring."

“Those involved in these illicit activities naturally need a suitable place to store their money; they can't carry it around with them, so…”

The woman in bed exclaimed, her eyes lighting up: "Treasure!"

Jiang Heyi nodded with a smile.

"You managed to remember all of this?"

“I’ve memorized part of it, but it’s enough.” Jiang Heyi looked at the Four Primal Bodies. “I need you to put on a show.”

Night falls.

Brendan returned to the manor after a busy day of city construction.

He had planned to finish his chilled fruit wine, then summon the maids to enjoy their graceful dance, followed by a relaxing bath, but the butler barged in at the most inopportune moment.

Without drinking or eating, Brendan stared at him with raised eyebrows, as if to say, "You'd better have something important to say."

"My lord, old Tok has been robbed."

Brendan frowned: "That butler from the Four Primarchs?"

"Yes, they said he was beaten up on the way back to the city and was covered in bruises."

"Who did it?"

"The Knights of the Order of the Peace failed to catch him, but he himself said he was a robber. All the items he purchased for His Excellency the Consul, as well as the remaining money, have been lost," the butler said. "The other party probably saw the Consul's document and spared his life, not daring to go too far."

Brendan was furious.

"Right outside the city, within the patrol area of ​​our Knights of the Order of Peace, the governor's confidant was forcibly robbed. If word gets out, what will become of our city of Kekri?!"

Brendan grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, pacing back and forth.

The steward hurriedly said, "His Excellency the Consul has already apologized to you."

"What crime is he apologizing for? Is it wrong for him to be robbed?" Brendan laughed in anger, waving his hand. "Tell him to go and find the culprit. Don't let those bastard nobles laugh at me, thinking I'm on their level!"

Having received Brendan's instructions, Jiang Heyi and the other two exchanged knowing smiles.

The next morning, the Four Primals issued a high-value bounty on the Adventurers' Guild, seeking the capture of the culprit.

Jiang Heyi spent the whole night organizing all the information he could remember into a scroll.

By occasionally dropping some bombshells, they can guide adventurers to hunt down and defeat monsters that attack people, heinous criminals, and extremely wicked adventurers who betray their companions.

And they can also hide in the crowd and stealthily hunt down the treasure.

After clearing out the regional scum, the adventurers received their bounties, the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds gained start-up capital, and the security of Krikri, under Brendan's management, improved significantly.

A win-win situation for all, and a bright future for everyone!

Chapter 574 Your Erotic Pictures Aren't Erotic Enough

Fragrant Breeze, Witness of the Stars, is a renowned commercial city-state within the ruling center of the Anna Empire.

The game alone displays a behemoth with a permanent population of 50.

In a creation set against a backdrop of swords and magic, with some medieval elements, the community's fact-conscious users often complain about its illogicality.

Those who oppose it will respond silently with an abstract mosaic image with a patina and the number "7".

Arguing is pointless; in reality, the figure is even more exaggerated.

In the statistics of the Anna Empire, living beings other than imperial citizens are not considered "human".

Local officials also find it difficult to say the exact number of migrant workers in their respective jurisdictions.

The jailer was lucky; he landed just outside Fragrant Breeze City, deep within the empire, where it was safe enough.

But unfortunately... he couldn't get any food.

Outsiders appearing in Xiangfeng are but a drop in the ocean. To gain a foothold and have a place here is the dream of countless ambitious young people in the empire.

Making a name for oneself is not easy. Most people spend their entire lives trying to leave a name in the great city-states of an empire, let alone make a ripple.

People with low levels of education are basically limited to the path of physical strength.

Starting as an adventurer, one must either be recruited by a knightly order or gain the favor of nobles through fame to obtain an entry ticket.

But once they get started, they'll find that there are always people better than them, and there's always something beyond their understanding.

The adventurer guilds that can be seen everywhere in the game do not exist in reality; they only appear in territories outside the imperial ruling center.

In important cities like Xiangfeng, which are directly controlled by the empire, security is primarily handled by the Knights Order and the Governor's Guard.

The outsourced portions are snapped up by the most powerful adventurers the moment they appear, never ending up in the mouths of ordinary adventurers.

Most of the adventurers active here appear as bodyguards for caravans.

They were merely passersby in this important imperial city; to stay and secure a place, they needed to become renowned throughout the empire.

Throughout Anna's history, there have been very few adventurers who fit the description.

The jailer found a small tavern that was still open late at night, showed off the fine clothes Jiang Heyi had chosen for him, and received a table of exquisite food.

When asked for money, they said they would pay on credit.

Neither the owner nor the waiter dared to stop him, and he just enjoyed a free meal.

The prison guard, who was squatting by the roadside after eating and drinking his fill, knew very well that this was not a solution.

In a world where magic exists, the lowest-level jobs are done by people without magic, whose income is disproportionate to their effort, so they would never touch such jobs.

Even someone who lives off the clothes they wear can eventually run out of money.

But without awakening his magic, he dared not leave the safe zone of Fragrant Breeze City, putting him in a dilemma.

The free meal campaign lasted for three full days.

Following his memories from the game, the jailer, who was on a pilgrimage to the holy sites in Fragrant Wind City, caught a glimpse of a shop on a street corner.

His eyes shone brightly despite his exhaustion and weakness.

"Wow, I'm such an idiot, how could I forget this!"

He wanted to slap himself twice as punishment for his belated realization.

The shop guard noticed that the jailer's clothes were somewhat torn and instinctively tried to stop him.

"I gave you a chance to reorganize your language skills, but you stopped me and turned to leave."

His bluff worked; the shop owner had his men take over the customers while he rushed out to greet them.

The owner runs an art gallery. In this industry, you can't judge a book by its cover. Many famous painters are usually unkempt and their behavior seems strange to ordinary people. You can't judge them by worldly standards.

Moreover, the jailer looked clean and fair-skinned, not like a poor person at all.

The jailer cut to the chase: "You're the boss here, right? I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, the gallery owner quickly invited the prison guard to a side room, but he insisted on looking at the works in the gallery first.

Currently, the painting trend favored by the nobility of the entire Ana Empire is oil painting, so 9% of the paintings exhibited and sold by galleries are oil paintings.

According to the owner, only a very small portion of the works sold on consignment are realistic sketches, in black and white, with a generally rugged style, catering only to the tastes of a select group of collectors.

The preferences of the nobility set the trend in painting.
