With Einstein and Tesla looking unhappy after their guess, the long-delayed Q&A finally began.
[1. Shortly after the battle at Schicksal HQ, a hidden force emerged as the time was right.]
[Excuse me, which of the following is the name of this force?]
[A. Anti Serpent]
[B. World Entropy]
[C. Fire Goose]
[D. World Serpent]
The question appeared on the screen.
"Hey, what does this mean?!" Having read the question, Tesla was keenly aware that the answer was clearly implying something, so her face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Indeed, but that's not the point," Einstein replied, affirming the observation while focusing on how to interpret the information revealed by the question.
"About this question... I think we roughly know the answer."
After reading through the unreliable options one by one and recalling the questions she had seen before, Mei formed an idea.
This question was nothing more than a word game, like before.
"...Based on the information obtained earlier?"
After roughly guessing the source of Mei's knowledge, Einstein showed a trace of helplessness.
Coming in late meant having no rights to much of the previous information. For such questions, you could only wander aimlessly like a headless fly.
"Want to cooperate?"
Sensing Einstein's concerns, Mei took the initiative to offer collaboration.
The concern was mainly about how the rewards would be distributed later. Saint Freya had no issues since they were all friends—usually, those who needed it most would use it.
Einstein and the others were different.
As members of Anti Entropy, their stance differed from Mei's.
They had many concerns about the distribution of benefits.
Because of this, Mei decided to avoid potential risks caused by reward distribution.
"Why should I say no?" Einstein sighed.
Since Mei had already considered their situation, she clearly knew the current circumstances.
Mei nodded and, after exchanging a glance with Theresa, told Einstein the answer she knew.
This could be regarded as a precedent set for future cooperation.
"World Serpent? So there really is a large secret organization hiding in the shadows."
Upon hearing the answer, Einstein frowned.
She didn't doubt the answer's accuracy—it wouldn't benefit the other party to lie.
What worried Einstein was how this organization, could be so hidden that she had never heard of it.
Putting aside her thoughts for the moment, Einstein softly said, "I choose D, World Serpent."
[Correct]
Nothing special—just the simple green word "Correct" appeared.
There was no image for this question, but some changes occurred.
For example…
A Homu treasure box suddenly fell from the sky and hit Tesla.
"Oh my god, ouch!"
Tesla's screams echoed throughout the space.
"It hurts so much! How dare you hit this genius! If you break my precious body, it will be a huge loss!"
Amid the sympathetic looks from others, Tesla, supported by Einstein, angrily kicked the box that had struck her.
Einstein smiled helplessly, then squatted down to examine the Homu treasure box.
"Is this the Homu treasure box you mentioned?"
"Didn't you say that the rewards would be distributed evenly only after all questions were answered?"
Mei was speechless.
Usually, the rewards were distributed at the end.
Now that one had dropped early, how could she know what was going on?
Full of confusion, she looked up at the sky.
[Announcement]
[This space has been slightly adjusted, and the following content has been updated.]
[1. The reward mechanism has been changed from final settlement to immediate distribution after answering each question.]
[2. The distribution mechanism has been updated to give visitors more stimulation.]
[3. The opening time has been changed, and the cycle will be extended to bring more quality questions and rewards.]
Seeing this announcement, Bronya, an experienced gamer, pulled the corner of her mouth.
Isn't this an update announcement for an online game?
Others began discussing the rule changes.
The first was no big deal—it just meant boxes could be opened early.
The second…
That meant… randomly hitting a lucky visitor, right?!
After recalling what had just happened to Tesla, everyone's faces changed.
Wow, from now on, there was a risk of getting smashed when receiving rewards—how exciting.
The third one… isn't this a typical game developer's trick to fool players?
Although some wanted to complain, if there was nothing they could do, they could only lie down and accept it.
Anyway, the change wasn't too serious—it just meant they had to pay more attention to personal safety after answering questions correctly.
Einstein casually opened the Homu reward box.
It was golden light.
Fu Hua silently turned her head away.
She wasn't concerned about Tesla's injury but simply found the light too dazzling.
What came out of the Homu box was a…
"Haha, don't you think it looks like a discarded iron block, Mophead?"
With his arms folded, Tesla couldn't help but laugh at the ugly, square iron block in Einstein's hand.
"It turned out to be just a piece of broken copper and rotten iron."
"That thing is not scrap iron!"
It was the Book of Fuxi.
Everyone looked surprised as the Book of Fuxi floating beside Fu Hua moved to Einstein's side.
"…This square block has extremely terrifying energy hidden inside."
After turning on data analysis mode, Fuxi used her blue eyes to scan the unremarkable iron block.
The energy Fu Hua used to power herself could last thousands of years.
This block, if used for power, judging from the energy detected, could allow operation at full power for millions of years.
"Anyway, let's open the information panel first."
Shocked by Book of Fuxi's words, Mei took the initiative to urge Einstein and taught her how to open the information panel.
Then:
[The Allspark]
[A special item from a certain world, which can be placed in a machine to give it real life, containing great power.]
[Note: If used properly, you can create new life.]
The extremely simple information appeared before everyone's eyes.
Kiana, Himeko, Theresa, and Fu Hua—the war faction—may not have understood what this meant.
However, Mei and Einstein, and Tesla, a true leader in machinery, all subconsciously held their breath upon seeing the item's information.
