With the USB drive in hand and a flickering gaze, numerous thoughts flooded his mind.

He had also donned a game helmet.

After following the standard login procedure, the game interface unfolded before his eyes.

Looking down at himself, he realized something instantly.

He had respawned in the safe zone, his body stripped clean of any equipment, not a single piece remaining.

It seemed the massive explosion he, Winter Melon, and Kelp had witnessed had indeed occurred, and it had affected him as well.

It must have been that explosion that sent him back to this laboratory he had set as his safe zone.

“Beep beep beep…”

A message from a friend arrived.

Winter Melon and Kelp said in the group chat,

“Ah man, I got killed and respawned back at the Salvation Angels’ space station.”

“Me too. I lost half my experience.”

Cucumber Slice wasn’t in the mood to chat.

He called out in his mind,

“GM, are you there?”

“I am here. Are you asking about the scene you saw before disconnecting?”

“Yes, that’s what I wanted to ask.”

The person Cucumber Slice addressed as “GM” was Noland Lee, who was currently remotely monitoring a heavy transport ship from the dean’s office.

He thought to himself,

“When you entered the disconnection zone, you just happened to encounter a chaotic data stream. The scene you witnessed was actually a part of the future storyline. The game officials have already deleted the video you recorded in the game. I suggest you also erase the relevant data outside the game to prevent leaking any trade secrets of the game officials.”

I knew it had to be this way; good thing I was cautious… Cucumber Slice nodded, feeling wise for not letting Winter Melon and Kelp upload the video online.

“No problem, GM. I’ll have someone erase the data right away. You go on with your work.”

Cucumber Slice took off his game helmet and went offline to look for Winter Melon and Kelp.

Meanwhile, in the dean’s office of the Black Hole Magic Academy, Noland Lee was petting a cat while enjoying the scene on the Magic Vision.

The fleet’s massive explosion had been orchestrated by him.

There were some unexpected events, but fortunately, the result was within the anticipated range without much deviation.

During the explosion, the Order Plane’s Core was quickly transferring the players’ bodies from the heavy transport ship, making it difficult to focus on disconnecting Cucumber Slice.

This led to Cucumber Slice witnessing the explosion and triggering a series of subsequent disturbances.

Once all the players’ bodies were safely transferred, the Order Plane’s Core could fully dedicate itself to ensuring players disconnected satisfactorily.

For instance, after that host entered the disconnection zone via short-distance jump, he immediately received extra attention from the “Command,” enjoying a full disconnection package.

In the whole incident, only Cucumber Slice, Winter Melon, and Kelp, due to a serendipitous coincidence, caught a glimpse of part of the truth.

Such minor accidents were no big deal.

The real action was yet to come.

At the moment of the explosion, the transport ship, whose jump route had been tampered with by the Metallic Ancestor Dragon, forcefully entered the jumping state.

——The players’ bodies on this ship had not been transferred by the Order Plane’s Core. The reason needs no further explanation; it was to make the plot complete without alarming the Metallic Ancestor Dragon.

Almost immediately after the jump was initiated, half a minute later, crew members of the alliance discovered they had deviated from the preset course.

Before they could correct it, the Metallic Ancestor Dragon, which had moved onto the transport ship from the escort ship, caused metal vibrations, crushing all the crew members with violent tremors.

Thus, a heavy transport ship loaded with players’ bodies fell into the hands of the Metallic Ancestor Dragon.

Of course, this ship did not escape the arrangements made by Noland Lee and the “Command.”

The players’ bodies on the ship were real.

The Star Destroyer Level Magic Bomb on the ship was also real.

To give a warning to the Metal Creation Group, the “Command” spared no expense, using a ship full of players’ bodies as bait to lure the Metallic Ancestor Dragon into taking the ship and the bomb into the Dark Star Field.

Once at the destination, Noland Lee would detonate the Star Destroyer Level Magic Bomb to give the Metallic Ancestor Dragon a bit of a shock.

“Kitty, the jumping route of the transport ship didn’t change, did it?”
