No one knew what Professor Walter had done on the computer.
A device connected to the Meteorite Core slowly dispensed a tube of translucent liquid.
There was no explosion or anything else they might have expected.
The liquid followed the meteorite's grooves and seeped into the core.
The core began to flicker visibly, each flash dimmer than the last.
Finally, it went out with a click.
At that moment, a notification appeared on Lin Feng's terminal.
Main mission complete. Leave this world?
With that notification, all his other side missions turned gray and were marked as impossible to complete.
At the same time, every Black Robes member's terminal announced that Shanhai had cleared the trial.
On the leaderboard, Shanhai's name stood at the very top. His score was no longer a number; it had become ∞.
In other words, Lin Feng had no need to do any more side missions. As the first to clear the main mission, his rank would not change...
That was an unexpected bonus.
With his rank locked in, Lin Feng no longer had to worry about anyone overtaking his score.
The Black Robes members, however, wore the strangest expressions.
They had barely recovered from the shock of seeing Shanhai clear a side mission first when an even bigger bombshell dropped.
It was almost impossible to believe. Someone had cleared the second trial in just one day?
Shanhai—the name everyone had remembered from the moment he appeared on the Selection Planet—was one they probably would not forget for a long time.
Many of them had yet to finish gathering clues for a single side mission, while Shanhai had already cleared the main mission.
There was no comparison. None at all.
Aaron had gone numb. He continued his own mission without a trace of expression.
