Arlan wanted to try the realism of the virtual world so he chose to carry out the mission. He didn't want to waste a long time so he took the mission seriously.
During his time in the virtual world, he found out that everything felt so real. He could even smell the scent of gunpowder when every time he fired his gun. He also sweated a lot from the extreme heat of the sun. He couldn't believe that Winter actually managed to create such a realistic world all by herself and she made it in just less than a month!
When he finally completed the mission, Arlan was forcefully awakened. When he opened his eyes, he found himself leaning on the recliner of the Virtual Capsule. He took off the helmet and stood up, feeling slightly tired.
"How is it?" Winter's voice echoed behind him.
Arlan turned his head and gave her a thumbs up. "You did great. If I didn't know that it was a virtual world, I would have believed that it was a real world. By the way, I spent almost a day in that mission. How many hours passed in the real world?" He asked. He wanted to know the time difference between the virtual world and the real world.
"The time in the virtual world and the real world are the same." Winter answered calmly.
"Is that so?" Arlan was a bit disappointed to hear that.
"There is no need to be disappointed. While you are inside the virtual world, your body will be in a state of deep sleep. That means we can let the soldiers enter the virtual world during their sleeping time." Winter muttered.
"Does it have any negative side effect to their bodies?" Arlan asked.
Winter shook her head. "Since their bodies will be in deep sleep while they are inside the virtual world, it's no different than normal sleep. We just have to supply their bodies with sufficient nutrients while they are using the Virtual Capsule. You can ask the doctor about this matter. He should know how we can acquire these nutrients."
"Alright. I'll tell Dr. Mariano to purchase everything you will need." Arlan was relieved to hear this. Although he wanted to make his soldiers stronger, he didn't want them to ruin their bodies.
"If there's nothing else, you should leave. I still have to go back to work." Winter wore her safety glasses before she walked out of the room.
Arlan chuckled as he watched her leave. He then grabbed his phone and saw a notification from the mysterious app. He spent almost a day inside the virtual world so the same amount of time passed in the real world.
[Congratulations! You claimed a valuable clue!]
[There is a hidden ancient civilization on Earth. They are plotting to destroy all humans using a frozen zombie virus that had once wiped out the Dinosaurs millions of years ago. Please prepare for this disaster!]
Arlan was stunned when he saw this. 'A zombie virus? Didn't the dinosaurs die because of a huge asteroid that fell on Earth? Just what is going on here?'
Arlan felt anxious and uncertain about the future after seeing the clue that he got from the mysterious app. He thought that the mysterious app was just a tool of god used to change his life. From the looks of it, the goal of the mysterious app wasn't just to make him rich or powerful. It might be preparing him for the disaster!
Arlan returned to his mansion in Forbes Park with a heavy look on his face. He didn't know how many days he had left until the 'disaster' will arrive. Just when he thought that Leandro would be his only worry in life, he learned that he was actually just a minor problem compared to the disaster.
Arlan grabbed a wine from the wine cellar and brought it with him to his room. 'When I was asking about Rear Admiral Fuliand's origin, the app mentioned that I could only get the information after claiming my 100th daily reward. Will the disaster strike after I claim my 100th daily reward or will it arrive before that happens?'
Arlan chugged down the wine as he thought about this. He had no idea what the zombie virus was and when the hidden ancient civilization will spread it in the world. Is the zombie virus the same as those portrayed in the movies? He had so many questions, but no one was there to answer him.
Arlan spent a long time pondering what he should do now that he had this information. 'Should I inform the public about this? No. They will only think that I'm crazy and delusional. No one will believe it without sufficient proof.'
Arlan slumped on his chair while rubbing his temples. The only thing he could do at this point was to make necessary preparations. He had to speed up the growth of his business empire and also increase the size of his army. He no longer cared if he would offend many people while doing this.
Before he went to sleep, Arlan informed Dr. Mariano about the nutrients.
***
A few days passed and there were only two days left until the product launch event of Mazda in Tokyo. Arlan booked a ticket for himself and his subordinates. He brought Krizia, Khalon, and Karl with him to Tokyo. He wanted to bring Winter, but she refused him right away and told him that she was planning to make some changes to the Virtual Capsule.
Arlan didn't bring his parents with them since Leandro might do something outrageous again. He didn't want the incident that happened in his recent trip to Paris to happen again.
When they arrived in Tokyo, the CEO of Mazda, Matsushima Moro came to greet them at the airport. The major shareholders of Mazda also came with him to welcome Arlan.
"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Roa!" Matsushima Moro bowed his head politely. He was a middle-aged man with messy graying hair. He looked amiable and kind. This was Arlan's first impression of him.
"Greetings, Mr. Roa!"
"Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone." Arlan knew that Japanese people were very particular with their manners so he also gave them a light bow. Althoug he was the boss of Mazda, he was younger than all of the people who came to welcome them. It was necessary to give them the respect that they deserve.
