The mana pathways connected each rune to another, forming a complex network within the medium.At its essence, the integration module functions as a translator and intermediary, bridging the gap between the realm of runes and the digital world. The circuits facilitate the transfer of ma

{So, what reward did the system reward you?} With a smile on his face, Aron replied, "It provided me with a fraction of the knowledge regarding MANA."After hearing Aron's response, Nova said, {Considering the context provided by the system's previous statement, it seems that the knowledge is related to the ongoing research within the Golden City.}"You are correct. With this newfound knowledge, the research in the lab city can be completed within a month at the most, as it addresses most of the problems they were facing," he affirmed, as he left the room and headed towards the vending machine offering drinks for the base residentsAfter grabbing a bottle of water, Aron took a refreshing sip. As he finished, he hesitated for a moment before he tossed it into the trash can having received an inspiration. Without wasting any time, he briskly walked to his room to act upon the inspiration."Is something wrong?" Nova inquired as soon as he logged into the universal simulation, having ob

"In fact, you should  be reciprocating by isolating them as well," he added, further emphasizing his disregard for Esparia's thoughts and intentions."I share the same sentiment of not caring about their thoughts. However, their disruptive actions could pose challenges in our procurement of weapons from the international market," Alexander responded, indicating that his concern lay in the potential consequences of Esparia using their action of e

In an instant, the holographic screen vanished, and a gentle golden light enveloped them, gradually merging with their beings.Donning his own glasses after he saw the golden light, he introduced, "Allow me to introduce Nova, my assistant.

Sarah and Felix began their lab tours one by one, swiftly moving from one lab to the next as soon as they satisfied their curiosity in each. As the twelfth hour approached, they found themselves instantly teleported back to the city's skies, having only explored approximately nine research labs. Their progress accounted for less than a quarter of a percent of the total number of labs present in the city.Surprised by their sudden teleportation, Felix questioned, "Twelve hours have already passed?" He couldn't believe it, as from his perspective, it felt like he had spent no more than three hours exploring the city's labs."Yes" Aron confirmed, settling into the chair that Nova had materialized for them in the sky.Sarah, after glancing at the screen she had used to navigate the city, exclaimed, "According to the progress bar here, I haven't even visited one percent of the research labs in the city!" She was astonished by the sheer scale of the remaining unexplored labs, realizing that
