Chapter 54: Chapter 54 – Shock!

Max went to the VR capsule located in the overseer section where Mr. Taka and Doctor Ardi were. On his way, he passed by Flexy, who just exited the capsule.

"Yo, it's your turn. Do your best." The orange-haired streamer raised his hand and grinned.

Knowing what he wanted to do, Max also grinned and raised his hand.

"Just watch. I will set a new record."

"Heh! Show off!"

Dap!

A shrill sound echoed as their hands clapped in the air. It was the perfect dap, and both laughed at it.

Max somehow was confident to break the record and felt really relaxed. He nodded at Mr. Taka before entering the capsule at the Doctor's direction.

"Please don't worry about anything. I will warn you if something is wrong. Just focus on achieving the perfect run." Doctor Ardi reminded him as the capsule began to close.

Having been used to be taken care of by a doctor before, Max nodded without worrying about anything.

"Thank you, doctor."

The capsule was fully closed, and a whirring sound rang. A helmet-like device covered Max's face and pulled his consciousness into the VR world.

When he blinked, he wasn't inside the capsule anymore but in a white room. His clothes changed into a sweatshirt and tight pants, and he even wore running shoes.

He tried to move slightly and nodded in satisfaction after trying his avatar.

"Is there something different or any discomfort, Breeze?"

Mr. Taka's voice rang from the speaker in the room.

"It's perfect." Max answered while making an OK sign with his fingers, "Let's start immediately, Mr. Taka."

"Hahaha, you're really motivated. Just move toward the blue circle, and the test will start in a few seconds."

"Alright."

Without any hesitation, Max walked toward the blue circle confidently. He had already watched all the tests and experienced it once before, although he played around then and wasn't so serious. So, this was his first real test.

He couldn't help but get excited.

That meant...

Pa!

"This motherfucker just finished the first test in 34 seconds!"

MadLad slapped his thighs, and it created a shrill sound.

Everyone was speechless. Not even Flexy, who self-claimed to know Breeze the best, could say anything.

"Shit." A curse escaped his lips as his butt fell to a sofa, "That bastard... He was holding back when we streamed together, didn't he? Hahahaha!"

"So fast..." Lily muttered in amazement.

StoneSword only nodded. He had to admit that Breeze had skill. Just his movement alone, maybe, was already better than most professional gamers.

On the screen, the second test was ongoing. The scenery changed into a forest view with many trees on the way. At the end of the forest was a vast canyon, spreading around 100 meters wide. Only a single log connected two grounds together.

The goal laid at the end of that canyon, a simple area with a checkered black and white flag.

"Ah... this will be a breeze for him." Flexy chuckled as he watched Breeze move through the forest as if no trees were in the way. "After all, this guy passed through Knight's Journey midnight forest in under 8 minutes. No one is faster than him in the forest."

As Flexy had said, Max had no problem moving through the forest and uneven terrains. He even used the trunks as footholds and the branches to help him move around easier.

After a few seconds, the end of the forest could be seen. Max increased his speed without worrying about the small log. He was confident in his balance. If he wanted to, he could stand on a single rope, not to mention a log with a diameter of around 50 cm.

As for height... If that were a problem, to begin with, Max wouldn't even consider himself a traceur and start a parkour.

In the end, the second test only took him 52 seconds, a bit later than the first test because the track was also longer.

Max stood within the glowing circle with a checkered flag and a wide grin.

"Next!"

The scenery changed once again to prepare for the third test.

Watching how fast Max finished the first two tests, Mr. Taka couldn't help but smile widely. He guessed it... No, he trusted his gut feeling.

'This will be big.'

No one doubted it. Even breaking Puppeteer's record wouldn't be a dream at this current pace.

'We will create a new world record in this program! How marvelous!'
