Samsara Online Chapter 294
Advertisement
Since the beginning of the world of 100% immersive virtual reality video games, Yao Mei's name became known all over the world and the title Empress of Fire automatically fell on her head. From that moment on, even though in contrast to Yao Zenyu, gamers were not sure about her being part of the Yao Family, Yao Mei became known to every video game lover.
She was not only known as the most powerful mage, she was also known as the most skilled Chinese gamer of all time! Yao Mei not only possessed extremely high magic damage compared to her own level, she also possessed extremely amazing reflexes and reaction capacity which could leave countless enemies speechless!
However, it was well known to all that the Empress of Fire never appeared in public except on special occasions and, when she did appear in public, it was because a person had done something that displeased the little Empress; resulting in a massacre of everyone present regardless of whether they were involved or not. But if there was one thing that no player had heard before, it was her voice; they didn't even know the tone of her voice and some even suspected that she was mute and had lost her ability to speak in an accident.
Due to all the above reasons, a phrase characterized Yao Mei among the players on the Chinese server: "She never talks just she kills people."
But today, for the first time in history, the voice of the Empress of Fire was heard! The players were stunned at how beautiful Yao Mei's voice was! None of them could believe that a person who killed people as if she was chopping grass actually possessed a voice similar to a baby's voice; so soft, small, and fragile.
However, what followed after the surprise was regret.... They regretted not having recorded such an unforgettable moment! Damn, even their faces turned ugly at the loss of opportunity! Probably many would be willing to pay to get such material!
"I'm not alive but I grow, I need air to live but I have no lungs, and even though I have no mouth, water kills me. who am I?..... Fire!" Jade reread the question and ignoring everyone's surprise, she smiled at Yao Mei and cheerfully exclaimed, "Ding Dong! Correct answer!"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise and the murmuring resumed. Jade just looked at Yao Mei with a strange sparkle in her eyes that she quickly hid and said in a cheerful voice, "Beautiful young lady, you and your group now have the right to choose one of the ten holes and start the mission first before the rest!"
Yao Mei nodded silently and stepped back without saying anything. She just looked at her big brother's group for a moment before moving towards one of the holes.... It was obvious that she had no intention of discussing with anyone and had already picked a target.
The corner of Yao Zenyu's mouth twitched a couple of times at the sight. Although it wasn't the first time, every time his younger sister acted like this he felt like his blood was about to make his veins burst!
Seeing the behavior of the two of them, Definite Arrow and the rest of the core players of the God of Heaven guild smiled helplessly. This kind of event was more normal than the others could imagine! However, no one said anything; after all, as the central elites of China's most powerful guild, they knew who Yao Mei really was.
Yao Zenyu sighed in exhaustion and waved his hand to the rest while following in his younger sister's footsteps. He knew better than anyone that the only reason Yao Mei was in his guild was because of strict orders from their father. That was precisely why she was difficult to control since she generally liked to be alone more than in company and crowds like this were something she never appreciated too much.
Yao Mei advanced towards the ten holes that represented ten different dungeons and inspected them one by one before finally making her decision.
"Ah, you... Are you sure you want to pick that one?" Jade couldn't help but point out.
Yao Mei didn't respond and simply took a step forward, disappearing in a flash of light.... She had chosen the blue colored hole.
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling knowingly. Yao Mei was more childish than he initially thought.... Jade's puzzle claimed that fire was killed by water, therefore, Yao Mei probably chose navy blue in an attempt to prove that fire was more powerful than water as well.

'Oh well, she's still too young after all.' He shook off those thoughts and concentrated on the task in front of him.
* * *
Two hours passed since the start of the competition.
Like the other two missions of the system, this mission was also extremely long-lasting and there were many things to do. The defense mission took a total of almost twelve hours in which players had to fight constantly and the exploration mission was extended to several days before it was finished; therefore, this third and final mission would naturally not be completed in a matter of minutes.
During the past two hours, more than six thousand people were disqualified because they answered wrong five times ... This meant that more than six thousand groups could only return tomorrow. Although the questions asked by Jade were somewhat silly and meaningless, they were incredibly difficult to decipher! Even when one thought they had the right answer they would be surprised with a mark pointing out their mistake!
Xie Feng had a deep frown on his face that, fortunately no one could see because of the mask that covered his appearance. His face had turned as black as coal as he looked over his head. There, silently suspended, were four small marks.... This meant that he had only one more chance and if he failed again he and his group would be disqualified; unable to enter the event dungeon until a day later. The most surprising thing was that among the disqualified were powerful guilds and, among them, was Yang Tian's King Land guild!
Apart from the God of Heaven guild, the assassin guild led by Red Snow as well, the Sacred Wings guild, and the Deep Heart guild led by Mu Wuying had already successfully claimed one of the slots and entered the event dungeon.
There were only three free holes left out of the initial ten and Xie Feng had no confidence in himself. Honestly, puzzles were never his strong point. Although he thought himself to be smart, strange questions like the ones Jade was asking were simply too difficult for him to even think about!
In the end, Xie Feng gave up and asked to be replaced by someone from his group. The person who confidently decided to replace him was, surprisingly, Gu Qianxue.
Jade waited patiently for the groups that decided to try their luck with someone else to finish switching places before looking back at the scroll floating gently in front of her. Both of her little eyes sparkled and she excitedly shouted, "If a watermelon and a coconut land on your head, which will hurt more?"
She was definitely enjoying watching everyone in pain and shaking their heads in frustration. What's more, she was really enjoying watching that person look frustrated! A little mask couldn't hide it from her!
However, just as jade finished asking the new question and with an answer no less than Yao Mei's, a mana stone lit up brightly attracting everyone's attention.
"Oya?" jade tilted her head, clearly not expecting something like this to happen again. "Beautiful big sister, do you know the answer?"
Gu Qianxue looked at Jade with a small smile and replied, "If a watermelon and a coconut fall on your head, which will hurt more?... The correct answer is 'the head'."
The multitude fell silent and Xie Feng almost spit out two liters of blood.
If a watermelon and a coconut fall on your head, which will hurt more...? One would normally think about which fruit would cause more pain, right? Who in their right mind would give the same answer that Gu Qianxue had just given? At least, Xie Feng couldn't!
Jade blinked in surprise before loudly exclaiming, "Woah! Big Sister, you really are very smart! I wonder why you didn't replace big brother Shiva more quickly!"
