Samsara Online

Ignoring the players’ thoughts, Jade smiled even more beautifully as her eyes moved to Xie Feng’s right hand and clapped her hands, "Hahaha, that’s good! You’re faster than I thought, I see in just one month you’ve already unlocked one of the seals!"

Once again, the players looked at each other in confusion... Unlock one of the seals? Again all the people present realized that the conversation between the little fairy that had just appeared and Shiva was too strange for them; they didn’t even have the slightest idea what the two were talking about.

In Samsara Online as well as in all previous virtual reality games, the scale used to identify the strangeness of an object was always the same so every player was very familiar with it. Gold grade items could be considered a luxury that only the most skilled or wealthy players could enjoy in the early and middle stages and only in the later stages of the game would Gold grade equipment become more accessible to players at the bottom of the pyramid.

At the same time, Immortal grade items were simply items that could not be described with the mere word "luxury". Owning an Immortal grade piece of equipment in these stages of the game was no different from owning a huge real-world mansion and a top-of-the-line supercar, since if one decided to sell such a piece of equipment one would get enough gold to live a comfortable and full life should such a player exchange his or her gold for money in the real world.

As for the Heaven grade items, even in the final stages of each video game only a maximum of five pieces appeared. Five might seem like a lot, but if you considered that billions of people played VRMMORPG, you would easily realize how special these items were.

However, even when players could see pieces of Immortal, Heaven, and even temporary God grade equipment that would be removed by the system after a certain amount of time, no player had ever seen a sealed piece of equipment. It was precisely for that reason that no player present understood what Jade was telling Xie Feng.

"It was difficult, to be honest." Xie Feng also ignored the eyes and murmurs of the others and continued his conversation with the little fairy: "I never imagined that the first seal would be so difficult..."

In fact, he never imagined that just the first seal of the God of Destruction Ring alone would be so difficult to break through. Xie Feng didn’t even want to think about how difficult the other three remaining seals would be.

"Hehe!" Jade laughed playfully and remarked, "You still have a long way to go, I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun!"

"...Why do I feel like you know me as if you live with me in my own house?" Xie Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly when he heard Jade’s words.

Of course he was having a lot of fun; after all, what Xie Feng most sought and craved for was that strong feeling of adrenaline that only extremely tough battles could granted him. Even though he could sometimes feel frustrated or angry, such emotions were part of the process of having fun!

Jade simply gave Xie Feng a cute smile in response. She lifted herself slightly into the air and waved her hand behind her.

Bang!

With a bang, a sizable round rock standing in the corner of the Sanctuary of Eminence popped. When the rock popped, the temperature of the place immediately plummeted and the weaker players couldn’t help but shiver at the sudden wave of freezing air that hit them.

"Woah! How cold!"

One player complained.

"Damn, someone turn on the air conditioner!"

Another player joked.

"Without further ado, my name is Jade and I currently have the mission to explain the details of the current mission.... It’s time to start the last mission of the three-part event! " Jade clapped her hands a couple of times to attract each player’s attention and continued explaining, "As each of you should already know, the name of this mission is ’Prison of the Snow Fox’ and, unlike the mission where you were to defend the city by killing all the attacking monsters and unlike the exploration mission where the participants were to defeat some special monsters to obtain some items that allow you to evade the detection of low-ranking but high-level monsters, this last mission is almost completely different!"

All the players, including the groups made up of elites, paid attention to every word the little fairy Jade said. In the past, there was never a shortage of times when many players failed a simple mission due to a silly mistake or failed in their task because they did not listen correctly to the explanations given by the NPCs at the time of receiving the quest; therefore, with so many cases as proof in the past, almost none of them wished to become the laughing point for the crowd.

"During this mission, you will not only have to fight against many monsters! The intelligence of each player as well as the ability to solve unforeseen situations that each of you possesses." Jade smiled mysteriously and announced, "Besides, unlike the missions you know, only ten groups will be able to enter at the same time! Also, remember that only twelve players per team is the maximum allowed!"

"What!?"

The crowd of players immediately became noisy after Jade finished her final announcement.

"Hey, wait a minute!" A warrior stepped forward and exclaimed loudly as he pointed to himself. "What do you mean only ten groups are allowed into the dungeon? Doesn’t that mean the rest of us will have to wait outside? And what happens in case one of the groups that entered earlier completes the mission successfully first?"

Jade looked at the warrior who had stood out from the crowd and, without changing her expression, explained, "For your first question, I think no explanation is necessary. Just as I said, only ten groups, one hundred and twenty people, can enter the event dungeon at the same time.... For your second question, correct. The rest of the players will have to wait outside the dungeon until one of the groups that entered is eliminated for different reasons... As for your last question .... You haven’t even started the mission yet but you are already thinking about defeat?"

Not only the warrior who had stood out earlier was stunned by Jade’s clear and concise answers, all the players were so shocked that for a moment they forgot to breathe. However, after hearing the final words of the little fairy in front of them, all the complaints they felt before immediately disappeared as if it was a small ice cube falling into a volcano about to erupt.

Xie Feng couldn’t help but smile slightly as he watched the change of expression on everyone’s face before turning his gaze to Jade and looking at her with a hint of admiration... Even if she was small, it didn’t mean that her mind was also small.

Jade’s last words were a polite and quiet way of slapping down all the players who were complaining. After all, she was right; the mission hadn’t even started, she hadn’t even explained what the players were supposed to do, and even then many players were already thinking about defeat. What was the point of coming here? No, what was the point of playing Samsara Online if everyone was thinking about being defeated or failure? That’s what the real world was for, in the virtual world it was better to put aside so many unnecessary thoughts!

Besides, even though Jade didn’t say it explicitly, everyone present felt their faces turn red with embarrassment when they were indirectly called "losers"!

"Hmph...." The same warrior from before snorted. "Who is thinking of defeat!? Come on, tell me what I have to do!"

"Who’s afraid of who! Come on, just shoot!"

"My group will definitely be in the top ten... Damn it, who was the one complaining earlier?!? This father wants to stay away from those kind of people!"

The corner of Jade’s lips curved slightly upwards when she noticed that the players’ blood had begun to rage furiously boil at her little encouragement.

"Very good!" Jade clapped her hands and her innocent voice echoed throughout the place. "Since the petty doubts were cleared up and everyone’s competitiveness is at its peak, let me explain what will be the method that will decide who will be the first ten groups to enter one of the holes behind me!"

The players followed Jade’s gaze and exclaimed in surprise when they saw ten huge holes that clearly wasn’t there before! They hadn’t even seen how they were formed!

Each hole had something different from the other and even those that looked similar had obvious differences if one paid enough attention.

For example: one hole was pure white like the snow surrounding the top of the highest mountain in the world, untouchable by pollution and unreachable by the destructive hands of humans.... Another hole was as green as the most beautiful meadow that existed in nature and the feeling of purity was so great that only in a fantasy world could it exist.

Even from a distance each player could feel the different mysterious auras that each hole exuded from within. Many could not even help but inhale hard to fill their lungs with fresh, pure air, feeling refreshed; something that in the real world was absolutely impossible.
