285 Selections Part 1 (1/2)

”I said that you only stayed there for a minute... So what happened? Don't tell me that you actually failed to activate the simulation?”

”What? No... I completed the 30 minutes simulation... What are you saying?”

The player just got out of the Mech Frame and was suddenly approached by the other magicians present to ask about the simulation.

However, he got confused by their questions...

'One minute? They're crazy...'

The man could only shake his head as he ignored them.

The other four hatches were also opened as the other magicians went out of the cockpit.

The people gathering around him immediately noticed this and decided to ask them as well.

”Haha... Thirty minutes? Let's hear what they'll say... It seems that all five of you only lasted there for about a minute...”

One of the players who asked the first guy suddenly approached the others who just got out of their Steel Knights.

It seems that he wanted to get as much information as he could so once it was his turn, he'll have an idea how to proceed.

”Hey... What happened? Was the simulation truly just a minute-long? Well, is it that too difficult or just too easy?”

”What? It took me about half an hour...”

”Right... It's more or less half an hour... Even if you're terrible, you can last more than a minute in there...”

The five players were confused as people were asking them the same thing...

'We're telling you that it lasted for about thirty minutes! Why can't you believe us?!'

Unfortunately, no one believes them as the second batch of players opened the hatch of the Steel Knights in front of them and proceeded to take the simulation through Avalon's assistance.

Ace smiled wryly at this as he didn't bother to explain to them about the time ratio once the simulation was activated. He simply wanted to give them a surprise.

In the meantime, he started to monitor the spaceship's travel as he needed to give some glimpse of the Excellence's successful endeavor in outer space.

He didn't want to show his plans of creating a base on the moon but he could at least show them the scenery in the outer space.

Soon, he uploaded the videos for the world to see.

As expected, it didn't take long before the news exploded.

They have seen a full minute of the Excellence's stable flight towards the moon.

The outer space was filled with stars and it looks so beautiful in their eyes.

”Amazing!”

”This is beautiful... I wanted to go up there as well...”

”True! I hope that they would consider this as a business...”

”What?”

”I mean, Traceless Hands can consider setting up a passport for a back and forth trip to outer space.”

”You wish... It isn't that easy to send in or out a huge spacecraft on the Earth's atmosphere...”

These people commenting were those watching the event online.

Apparently, the event isn't just focused on the Space Launch. It wasn't even the main course of the event as it was just a way for Ace to tell them that the virtual world and the real world wasn't that different any longer.

His real aim was still to have those talented people learn some things about the future. It would be a waste if they were too underdeveloped when the Empire arrives.
