272 Space Race Part 3 (2/2)

Ace smiled awkwardly before they ended the call.

Their conversation went well and his senior would now help him keeping the two clans in check. There were also new people adding to the gallery when the Space Launch event would take place in a few days.

'I guess... I should prepare a small celebration for this event?'

Ace thought after realizing that his Space Launch would indeed be the focus of the country even if the two clan's project would be successful or failure...

People would surely await the result of his own project.

”Avalon, should we make a little change about our fourth phase? Can we invite our players to this event? What do you think?”

The players were still not aware that the creator of the virtual world, Traceless Hands, was also Wallace Ravencroft.

Some of them were aware that Wallace was involved with Traceless Hands. Someone who works for that creator but they could never imagine that he was the Traceless Hands himself.

[ Analyzing... ]

[ No problematic issues found. Revealing your identity would further help us acquire the pilot needed for the Mech Frames and you can easily find people who will man the space fleet. ]

The Mech Frame and spaceship could not be all controlled by Avalon. It will be ineffective since Avalon was only made as a guide to help its user. It will not be able to bring out the machine's full potential especially to those that require a bit of mana to operate.

He can only hire some people to do it for him and he wanted them to come from the players who would volunteer themselves. That was supposedly his fourth phase of VR Project and would only take place once his flagship was already constructed.

However, it seems that he had to adjust his plans a little.

”Right, I'm curious about the spacecraft made by the two clans... Can you find any information about it?”

Ace asked Avalon in case it could find information online.

[ Negative. No information found. Permission to connect to Veda to access more information. ]

”Permission granted... I guess.”

[ Searching... ]

[ Veda is connecting... ]

[ Hello! Ace. ]

”Aahh... Veda?”

[ Yes... I see that you wanted information about their spacecraft. You're curious? Did you want to copy their design? ]

”Of course not.”

[ Don't think too much about it. I only gave them an idea... I don't even think that they created it perfectly. ]

”Wait, so you helped them?”

[ Not really. You know that I'm an Artificial Intelligence meant to help doctors and patients. I don't have knowledge about building spacecraft at all. I just gave them a bit of encouragement since they've been trying to find a way to do it for many years... ]

”Haa~ Is that so? Anyway... Are you aware that they're trying to cause problems to me?”

[ You call that a problem? Well, yes. Anyway, do you still want information about their space shuttle? ]

”Ugh... Yes. Since you're already here...” Ace answered since he was indeed curious about it.

[ Here you go... ]

Veda showed him the various photographs of the space shuttle they planned to launch in the next couple of weeks.

”This is their Spacecraft?”

[ Yes... ]

”That's cute...”

Compared to his majestic mid-size transatmospheric battleship, their space shuttle was looking cute if they were put together.
