Chapter 349: 349. Sir Edwill and Dreamshore

"We are early, not you," Victor corrected Orion.

Orion smiled and responded, "Same, same."

"It's not the same," Victor insisted.

"Alright, let's go. Lead us, Amy," Erza said at that moment.

Amy nodded. "Follow me."

She led them up the stairs to the 7th floor of the building. Because of their large numbers, they couldn't use the elevator, which would have been everyone's preferred choice.

As they climbed the stairs, Amy began explaining. "The final assessment will take place in the Vision Hall. So, you need to pay attention today."

"Wait, wait. What do you mean the final assessment will take place in the Vision Hall?" Orion asked, confused.

Only the geniuses from Planet Nio were stationed in this building, and other geniuses from different planets and regions were assigned elsewhere, so he couldn't understand how the final assessment would be held in the Vision Hall where only about fifty geniuses from Planet Nio were present. What about the others? Were they participating in different assessments?

Amy explained, "The Vision Hall is filled with many virtual reality pods. You simply use one to connect to Dreamshore, where all the geniuses from different regions and planets will be. Every participant in the final assessment will use these pods to access Dreamshore, where the assessment will take place."

She added, "In short, the assessment will take place in a virtual reality world, and all the participants will connect to this world using the pods in the Vision Hall."

Orion's eyes lit up with excitement. He knew about VR full-dive technology from Earth, but because it required advanced technology that wasn't available there, the dreams of many on Earth to fully dive into VR remained just dreams. However, in the Human Federation Realm, such technologies were easily accessible. The humans of the Federation were far more scientifically advanced than those on Earth.

'Damn, I should have bought one while I was in Masturi City.'

Orion regretted this oversight. He had completely forgotten about the VR technology amidst the chaos of his situation. Otherwise, he would have purchased a VR pod—after all, he was quite wealthy in this world.

"Have you guys ever been to Dreamshore or used these VR pods?" Orion asked Victor and Erza.

"I've used VR pods," Erza nodded.

"Me too," Victor added.

"What? Ten years old? Are you kidding me?" Victor was surprised. He couldn't believe Ray had thought of such things when he was just a ten-year-old kid.

Even Erza looked visibly shocked.

Orion held his head high and ran a hand through his hair. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm the smartest human in the world," he said, feigning loneliness.

"Big Brother, you're not the smartest," Tracy said, giggling.

"Hey, you're supposed to be on my side!" Orion protested, feeling wronged.

"The smartest man, my ass. You probably overheard some grown-ups talking about it and just repeated what they said," Victor teased, smiling as if he'd figured it out.

Erza shook her head. "Anyway, stop it, you three. It looks like we've arrived."

Orion, Victor, and Tracy stopped in their tracks as they turned to face what could only be described as the ultimate security door.

The door was unlike any they had seen before, a massive metallic structure embedded with multiple layers of security which had many locks, including eye scanners and fingerprint readers.

At least, that's what Orion could discern from the surface. Who knew what other kinds of locks they had with this world's technology?

He also noticed that the geniuses from other cities had already gathered here, waiting for them.

A middle-aged man Orion hadn't seen before stood in the hall. He wore a white coat and white pants, typical attire for researchers back on Earth.

"Sir Edwill, everyone is here," Amy said, bowing to him as they arrived.

"Good." Sir Edwill nodded and stood before the metallic door, which automatically opened without him having to scan it with his halowatch or do anything else.

This made Orion wonder if it was due to AI. If the advancement in VR technology was high enough to build full-dive VR pods, then creating a fully functional AI to process everything would be an easy task.

Some gifts would be appreciated as well, but up to you....
