Samsara Online

The feeling that each of the ten holes transmitted was different but there was something similar about them at the same time. It was as if each hole was a different world but connected at the same time; a truly mysterious feeling that the players could not put into words.

"Before I explain the method of entry, let me explain slightly about the ten holes behind me." Jade sat on top of a house and while tenderly and innocently waving her two little legs, she slowly explained, "As you can see and probably many of you can feel, each hole is a different world by itself. This means that the red colored hole will take you to one side and the blue colored hole will teleport you to a completely different side than the last one."

After a pause to allow everyone to address that part of the information, Jade continued, "Ten groups of players, ten holes. I don’t think this needs explanation but I’ll say it anyway just in case.... When a group enters one of the holes, that hole will automatically close and no other group will be able to enter the same hole unless the group that entered first fails in the mission.... In short, the competition started right now because although each hole is connected at the end by a special map, the difficulty level of each hole is different and the climates you will face will also be different in some aspects. Of course, the monsters that each group of players will face will also be completely different depending on the dungeon each player chooses!"

The players’ ears twitched at the little hint Jade had just "unconsciously" given.

Xie Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at each of the holes carefully. If what Jade said was true and each dungeon had different climates, then one could only identify them from the color or smell of each hole so those who could sense those small differences were the ones who would have the initial advantage.

"Last but not least, remember that the order of entry into the dungeon will be decided by yourselves!" Jade smiled and got up from her seat, flying into the air and exclaiming contentedly, "Hehehe.... Let’s see how good everyone’s performance is! Please have each group present send one candidate to participate in the competition that will take place next! You only have one minute to decide, so hurry up! Also, each group can only change representatives once, so think carefully!"

Like a rock falling on the surface of a silent lake, the previously quiet place became incredibly noisy and the murmurs of tens of thousands of people accumulated to form an extremely annoying atmosphere. However, no player had time to worry about such a thing.

Xie Feng looked at his five party members and smiled faintly, "Well, it seems that if we talk about numbers we have the disadvantage."

In fact, they were six while all the other teams consisted of twelve players.... To say they were at a disadvantage was an understatement if you thought carefully. After all, adding another priest capable of saving lives or shield guardian capable of tanking and resisting the attacks of powerful monsters to the group wasn’t as simple as adding 1+1!

"Oh well, our group is full of monsters anyway." Xiao Luo shrugged and remarked, "A priestess capable of reviving players en masse, a mage with the ability to control and slay her enemies mysteriously no matter how strong they are, and a spear user capable of unleashing an attack greater than a million physical damage to an Immortal grade level thirty beast.... What could possibly go wrong, right?"

""Hahaha!""

Yue Kai and Hu Chen couldn’t help but laugh and nod to express that they agreed with their friend. Indeed, what could go wrong? If it was about strength, their group didn’t lose to anyone!

Xie Yao blushed slightly and recalled, "Don’t forget about you guys either.... The equipment that big brother Xie Feng might be of high quality but the ones who put them to incredible use are you guys!"

Indeed, as Xie Yao had said, Xiao Luo’s trio could not be ignored.

For example: Xiao Luo, who grew up in the mountains, was incredibly skilled with his assassin character. He moved through the brush and trees with great dexterity and ease, surprising even Xie Feng. Hu Chen had a sturdy body in the real world and his strength was incredibly high as well, so the silver-grade two-handed sword that Xie Feng had gifted him was brandished by him with incredible ease. While on the other hand, Yue Kai had always been attracted to bows since childhood so his accuracy was well above average.... None of the three was a player that can be casually ignored.

"Well, let’s save the small talk for another time, time presses upon us." Xie Feng reminded and while looking at everyone asked, "Who will represent us?"

Everyone was silent and fell under deep contemplation, thinking carefully.

This was a very important question because the representative of each team held the fate of their entire group in his or her hands! If a representative did well during the upcoming competition, then it meant that person’s group could decide which hole to enter first and, if they chose correctly, half of the mission would be technically over since the monsters might be weaker than the ones occupying the rest of the dungeons!

After half a minute of consideration and knowing that time was not too much, Hu Chen looked at Xie Feng and said his opinion, "No matter how I think about it man, I think it should be you."

Xie Yao and the rest also agreed with him.

"Why?" Xie Feng asked casually.

"Your strength is undoubtedly the most terrifying among us and most likely the competition will be a kind of duel between the representatives of each group." Hu Chen explained. "Even if that wasn’t the case we can still switch representatives once."

Xie Feng nodded silently.

In fact, what Hu Chen had said was what most of them were thinking as well. If the competition that the little fairy was talking about was a duel between players then none of them thought that anyone present would have the power to defeat Xie Feng even if they all united against him.

"Ding Dong! Time’s up!"

The pretty jade voice echoed loudly all around and the conversations stopped immediately afterwards.

"All representatives of each team please step forward. The rest of you, please step back a little!" jade announced excited to see who would be the people competing.

Even though only one person stepped forward and the rest obediently stepped back, the number of representatives was still over ten thousand! This even considering that practically 99% of the people had not even arrived at the site yet!

"Very good!" Jade had a bright smile on her pretty face and when she saw all the representatives ready to start she waved her little hand towards them.

Swoosh!

Thousands of golden sparkles began to rain down from the sky, startling the players. However, they obediently took them and waited patiently.

[Mana Stone: It lights up when receiving mana supplement].

"What you are holding in your hands is a small mana stone." Jade explained. "The function of that stone is just as its description says. However, when a mana stone lights up after receiving a bit of mana, all the surrounding mana stones will immediately become dull, resulting in a bright sun amidst the weak starlight!"

After listening to Jade’s explanation, Xie Feng suddenly felt a bad premonition approximately.... Why did this seem more like a quiz game than a battle? He wondered and soon got his answer.

"As many may have guessed correctly, the competition this time will be no battle at all!" Jade nodded seriously and continued, "In order to successfully complete the ’Prison of the Snow Fox’ quest, I need to pick the brightest minds of all since in the end, the battle will be explicitly forbidden! Only those capable of thinking of unusual ideas will be able to successfully overcome it and that’s what I’m looking for here!"

The place was absolutely silent, no player present expected such a development of events! However, as they looked at the person wearing a strange black and white mask covering his face, many of them could not help but breathe a small sigh of relief.
