“Countdown three, two, one. Please choose your options, agents of the four nations.”
Kolle nervously chose 5, while Dori surprisingly chose 6.
The camera focused on Dori.
Dori: “What are you filming me for? Are you asking me to speak and choose? We mercenaries don’t have a good impression of the Fatui, this kind of thing is likely to happen in Sumeru, right?”
“Indeed, the security in Sumeru is quite lax.”
“Half of the Thirty are just thugs.”
“They can easily sneak up on anyone. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Akademiya is already under their control.”
The prophet, she’s been cut, cut, cut.
Both Dottore and Scaramouche, as Fatui, chose 4 and 5 instead of 6.
Perhaps their orders from their masters were to find the Godheart, not to directly steal it from the Hydro Archon.
Kachina chose 4.
Muchen shook his head; he couldn’t say anything directly.
Ningguang, on the other hand, kept looking at her “beloved”. She seemed to sense that Muchen had intentionally mentioned 6, to subtly complete Kachina’s analysis.
Interestingly, the Pyro Archon, Murata, chose 6.
It’s possible their strategy was to choose two different options.
The Tsaritsa’s captain didn’t participate in the selection, but Tartaglia chose 5.
Finally, the camera turned to the servant who had chosen 6.
Servant: “Film me? To me, 6 is probably the highest probability. Is it you, Rosaria? Knowing your personality, you wouldn't just be lurking outside the Mondstadt church. If you knew that Venti was the Anemo Archon, you’d probably jump right at him and try to grab it.”
【Signora: *scoffs* As if you know me very well】
“The correct answer is 6 - the attack at the church entrance was by the Fatui.”
“What?”
“They attacked outside the Mondstadt church?”
“Ah?”
“That was the first thing I ruled out.”
“The servant is right.”
“Muchen’s words reminded me. These damn Fatui are capable of anything.”
“What do you guys mean by that? You look down on the Fatui?”
“Why would it be 6?”
“Haha, I listened to Muchen, it made sense, I got it right.”
【Kachina: Ah? It really was 6?】
【Dori: Haha, I got it right】
【Kolle: I even told Dori that it was the first thing I ruled out】
【Scaramouche covers his face: *sigh*, I chose again. This is the second time I got it wrong】
“Sumeru’s public livestream has 4671 incorrect answers, Fontaine has 4710, Natlan has 4476, and Snezhnaya has 4401.”
“Snezhnaya and Natlan have a really high correct rate.”
“The Fatui know some inside information.”
“Especially those Fatui in the Mondstadt region, they definitely know.”
“We in Natlan are good, we’re carrying on from last time.”
“Penalty for the public livestream: One-legged experience penalty, one foot will lose sensation for five days.”
“Ah?”
“One-legged experience?”
“Five days? How am I going to work?”
“It’s over.”
“Damn it, those damn Fatui made me answer wrong.”
The barrage of comments were filled with groans.
Of course, there were many more comments.
“Why only five days? It should be half a month.”
“Seeing others answer wrong, hehe, it feels so good.”
“New entertainment to watch.”
After all, there were only 5,000 randomly selected people from each nation per question, so there were more people watching than participating.
“Penalty for Kolle: Chat penalty, chat with 500 different people within two days.”
【Kolle: Uh? I’m really bad at chatting with strangers】
【Amber: Kolle, go for it, it’s just chatting】
【Nilou: Miss Kolle, come to the Grand Bazaar. It’s a good place to complete this penalty. Everyone in the Grand Bazaar is so friendly, they’ll even chat with you first】
【Tighnari: Go ahead, Kolle, take a break for these two days】
【Scaramouche: Not a bad penalty】
【Dottore: I’m not good at chatting with people either】
【Nahida: This is the time to push yourself】
【Klee: You’re only being penalized because you got the first question wrong, so it’s not that hard】
【Dottore: It feels… pretty hard to me】
“Penalty for Scaramouche: Water penalty, ten times of deep water dragging.”
Scaramouche: “Deep water dragging? What is that?”
In an instant, Scaramouche disappeared from the room.
He was dragged into the sea by a red light.
Gurgling, he descended at a very fast speed.
He was dragged fifty meters down, then pulled back up. He barely had time to catch his breath before he exclaimed, “Wait- ah!”
He was dragged down again.
This continued for ten times.
【Lyney: Is Scaramouche going to be alright?】
【Dottore: That speed is too fast】
【Paimon: It’s so terrifying】
【Klee: Klee… egg fried rice is also terrifying, and this is terrifying too】
“This is so terrifying.”
“Ten times, back and forth.”
The ten times came quickly and went quickly. Scaramouche was thoroughly beaten by the penalty, lying on the floor of Fontaine’s classroom, panting, unable to get up for a while.
It scared Kachina, who was about to be penalized next, her ears were trembling.
“Penalty for Kachina - Roll penalty, roll down a mountain slope.”
Kachina was teleported to a high slope.
Then, she was pushed down.
Kachina immediately hugged her knees and rolled down like a ball, her body crashing against the many gravel on the slope, shattering them along the way.
Finally, she rolled to the bottom of the slope and the punishment ended.
【Marla: Is Kachina alright?】
【Chino: These rocks don't look too hard, she should be fine. If she has any wounds, bandage them】
【Hinonin: Thankfully it’s the penalty for the first wrong answer, if the rocks were harder, it would be dangerous】
Kachina stood up. Everyone was still worried about her injuries, but she scratched her head and said apologetically, “Sorry, Kachina didn’t choose correctly.”
“She even apologized for getting the answer wrong.”
“Such a heart-wrenching little sweetheart.”
“It’s okay, Kachina.”
“Are you hurt, Kachina?”
“So many people got it wrong.”
【Muchen: Kachina, are you hurt?】
Kachina smiled: “It’s okay, Kachina is tough, this punishment is nothing.”
Kachina was teleported back. Chascca took out her handkerchief to wipe her face.
Murata patted her head: “We chose two different options to increase the chance of getting it right, you got the wrong answer, but you are also a warrior of Natlan, Kachina. Have a little more confidence, you’re doing great.”
The Pyro Archon was the idol of all Natlan warriors. Kachina’s eyes lit up when her idol praised her: “Really? Pyro Archon!”
Murata nodded.
“Penalty for Tartaglia: Wear a duck costume for a week, you cannot take it off.”
