After the opening animation ended, players started to gather together to discuss the storyline.
The first to speak was the female professional gamer, Cumin Powder:
"Let's lay all our cards on the table."
"Lay out what?" Yutianxiao, the old slick, immediately started playing dumb.
"What else could it be? Do you really think everyone has set aside training just to take on this long-term space mission for the enjoyment of the game?"
She casually flipped her green and pink ombre hair, exposing the startling cybernetic implant interface on her forehead, and said bluntly, "We've all been sent by higher-ups to scout ahead, and it looks like we won't be hitting the competitive scene for quite some time. Isn't it better to get to know each other a bit and exchange our thoughts on what we've just seen?"
