Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Faction Banquet
"I can sum up life in just three words: Faith, Family, and Friends" - I, Me, Myself.
As a person who believes in such things, each of us has a unique path to take. In the mundane world, we call it 'Motto.' Life without a motto may be meaningless. Have you ever felt you had no idea what to do with your life? Have you ever considered living a life without a purpose? Of course, but most likely not. I'm guessing that 85 percent of my readers have a life motto. But what about the remaining 15%? Is having a motto necessary? No, you don't have to make it mandatory or have a truism. However, aimless living is not something you would adore. I won't advise you to force yourself to do something creative. You can, however, make an effort, as Yeol did. Because of the sudden lockdown, she was aimless. However, she managed to find an alternative motive for her life. I won't say that playing games were her life's intent, but it did serve a temporary purpose. That was on her mind. The proverb says the devil dwells in an empty mind. So, I vehemently advise you to take advantage of the opportunities and see where the blind path leads you.
*Pop-up* Guild Quiz will begin in three minutes, so players should be ready at the banquet hall.
The entire squad teleported to the banquet hall. Yeol was looking forward to the Guild quiz not only because she would earn a lot of EXP but also because she would be able to compete against Anonymous. She was so focused on competing with Anonymous that she forgot to give him a personal message about the matter in world chat. Manami still was not able to join the guild.
"Join Manami, the LifeSaver. Please hurry." Yeol made a post in the world chat.
"Yes, please check the application I submitted for the guild," Manami wrote.
I let Manami in, and we went to the guild quiz. Because Anonymous was a beta tester, I was confident that the legacy would be the first to stand. We did, however, try our luck.
*The faction banquet will begin officially in the 30s. Continue to participate in the banquet scene to gain a lot of EXP. Please prepare*
Yeol had a Virtual keyboard ready. She was willing to respond to as many questions as possible. Yeol had the advantage of searching for answers in a VR headset because she could use Google while gaming.
*Question 1 - What day of the week does Guild War is available?*
In Legacy banquet:
Anonymous - Sunday (two seconds)
In LifeSaver banquet hall:
Manami - Sundsy (three seconds)
Yeol - Sunday (four seconds)
LifeSaver took two seconds to respond. Yeol answered the pertinent questions because she had read the manual for the game event. Manami misspelled because she wasn't paying attention to the screen while typing.
*Question 2 - Assisting guild members can get renowned rewards. True or false?*
Yeol - True (one second)
Anonymous - True (two seconds)
*Question 3 - What does the 'U' stands for in UFO?*
Anonymous - Unidentified (Two seconds)
Manami - Unidentified (Two seconds)
*Question 4 - How old was Harry Potter in the first book of Harry Potter?*
Yeol - 11 (one second)
Anonymous - 11 ( two seconds)
*Question 5 - Sake is made from which ingredient?*
Yeol - Rice (one second)
Anonymous - IDK
Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink favored by Yeol's father, and because she was Japanese, she was familiar with the beverage.
*Question 6 - The Da Vinci code opens with a murder in which museum?*
Yeol - IDK
Manami - IDK
Anonymous - IDK
System Answer - Louvre Museum
Because no one from the factions could respond to the question, it was answered automatically by the system after 15 seconds.
*Question 7 - What is the name of the longest bone in the human body?*
Yeol - Femur (Two seconds)
Anonymous - Femur (Two seconds)
Talk about two medical students' dedication. Although Yeol was not a medical student, she was familiar with the fundamentals. That surprised me since I expected Anonymous to win easily, but Yeol was giving him a run for his gold. She appeared to be hell-bent on defeating Anonymous.
*Question 8 - What does the 'E' in Chuck E. Cheese?*
Anonymous - Entertainment (one second)
Yeol - IDK
Manami - Emergence (five seconds - it was a random guess)
Anonymous could answer the question rapidly since Chuck E. Cheese is an American restaurant franchise that offers exquisite Italian meals. He took advantage of the occasion as an American citizen.
*Question 9 - Which is the longest river in the world? *
Anonymous - Nile (two seconds)
Yeol - Nile (three seconds)
*Question 10 - In which cartoon strip would you find Lucy and Linus?*
Yeol - Peanuts (one second)
Anonymous - Peanuts (five seconds)
The fact that Yeol has an affinity for comic books benefited her in answering this question. She enjoys comics, manga, and manhua so much that she recognizes them.
*Question 11 - Which bands had hits with 'Linger' and 'Dreams'?*
Yeol - The cranberries (two seconds)
Anonymous - The cranberries (two seconds)
*Question 12 - In which year did the London Zoo open?*
Yeol - 1828 (five seconds) {after searching on google}

Anonymous - IDK
Naru - Tennis Ball (three seconds) {A member of TheLegacy}
Saki - Tennis ball (eight seconds) {Member of LifeSaver}
*Question 17 - What do you want the most when you feel thirsty?*

Upon receiving the system notification of scores, The Legacy members were thrilled to be on top. In contrast, Anonymous fixated his eyes on the correct retorts score. Despite finishing first, Yeol was one question ahead of him. The thought of losing one question upset him. He adored Yeol, but he couldn't accept his defeat. It gave him heartache. Was it possible that he was envious of her intelligence? Maybe he was, or maybe not. What would you describe this feeling?
Yeol congratulated Anonymous and his guild in the world chat describing her happiness for his newly formed online friend.
"Congratulation! The Legacy. You all did well."
"Thank you. Yeol" said Elegant.
"Yeol, be my in-game bond partner."
