Xiao Ran had not entered True Game much lately. Even when he did, he mostly went to the world of the little elves. Perhaps because he traveled back and forth too frequently, or perhaps because the portal had stabilized, the flow of time between the little elf world and the real world had ultimately become almost infinitely close to a one-to-one ratio. As a result, the little elf world had not changed much over the past two years in the real world.
However, he had continued to keep an eye on the situation within True Game. He had been waiting for a suitable world, one where the entire legion could gain benefits and rewards. It had nothing to do with technology or mechs—or rather, it was a world with another system that could also be integrated with technology and mechs.
Xiao Ran had gone to World of Warcraft and obtained everything from another system. Then he had gone to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where he had obtained cores and technology, which counted as a second system. Yet neither was quite what Xiao Ran had envisioned. There was still a slight gap between them and what he had hoped for. They had not met his expectations, had not reached the point where he could pull off that kind of outrageous move, and could not solve the problem that his own bursts of power differed somewhat from everyone else's.

Operating a mech at light speed was absolutely an outrageous move. Of course, that was merely the best-case
