Chapter 461 461: Ufotan
As the Earth Team and a group of officials stood on the tarmac, their eyes were fixed on the descending spaceship. Its size and design were more impressive up close, a masterpiece of engineering and interstellar design.
"Look at the size of that beast," Leo whispered, awe in his voice. "It's like a floating fortress."
Mia, her eyes scanning the structure, noted, "The hull's made of adaptive alloy, changes to manage heat and radiation. Never seen anything like it."
Caleb, staring at the spaceship, grunted, "Fucking show-off, isn't it? Bet it's as tough as it looks. Hope the inside's just as impressive."
Alex, tilting his head, observed, "The engines are bigger than our whole apartment building. The thrust must be off the charts."
Sarah, usually silent, added, "And those wings, they're not just for show. Probably help with maneuverability in different atmospheres."@@novelbin@@
As the spaceship landed with a gentle yet firm thud, the conversation shifted to the challenges of space travel. "Riding in that thing won't be like flying coach," Ethan mused. "Gotta think about zero gravity, cosmic radiation, not to mention the psychological toll of space travel."
The officials, having briefed on space missions before, offered their advice. "You'll undergo brief but intense zero-g training before takeoff," one official explained. "And the spaceship is equipped with artificial gravity, but it's not perfect. You'll feel lighter, moves will be different, so you need to acclimate quickly."
Another official chimed in, "Remember, communication delays in space are significant. It's not instant like here on Earth. You'll need to plan ahead, anticipate orders and responses."
The team absorbed the information, their expressions a mix of excitement and nervousness. "And don't forget about the isolation," the first official continued. "You'll be in close quarters for an extended period. Mental fitness is just as crucial as physical readiness."
Caleb nodded, his usual bravado tempered by the gravity of the situation. "We'll be ready," he stated firmly. "Got no choice but to be. This is bigger than any of us, and we're not about to fuck it up."
As the spaceship's hatch opened, a group of human-like figures stepped out, exuding a quiet confidence. They were similar in appearance to Earth's humans but carried themselves with an air of advanced sophistication.
"We come from Planet Ufota," one of them, a man with sharp, intelligent eyes, announced. His tone was measured, hinting at a pride in their origin. "Our civilization has achieved advancements that might seem significant to you."
Caleb, leaning against a nearby structure, raised an eyebrow. "Is that right? Like what?"
The Ufotan, undeterred by Caleb's skepticism, elaborated, "For one, our energy sources are completely renewable and highly efficient. We've eliminated the need for fossil fuels, harnessing the power of our planet's core and the cosmos itself." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
A female Ufotan with a graceful demeanor added, "Our medical technology has drastically increased life expectancy and eradicated many diseases that you still fight on Earth. While not immortal, our people enjoy robust health throughout their lives."
Another Ufotan, his eyes keenly observing their surroundings, chimed in, "And our educational systems are highly developed, focusing on intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth from a young age. It allows us to cultivate a society where innovation and wisdom are paramount."
The Ufotans stood confidently, their expressions conveying a subtle superiority. "It's not that Earth is backward," the leader continued, his voice smooth and controlled. "Rather, Ufota has simply progressed in ways that have yet to be realized here."
Caleb smirked, his tone laced with challenge. "Well, that's all very impressive on paper. But we're here to see how you stack up in the field, not just talk about advancements. The Universe Ascendancy Games will be the real test."
The Ufotans' smugness wavered slightly, replaced by a nod of acknowledgment from the leader. "Indeed, the games will be a fitting platform to demonstrate our capabilities. We look forward to the challenge."
Caleb's team gathered around, watching the Ufotans with a mix of annoyance and disbelief. "Can you believe these assholes?" Leo muttered, glaring at the departing figures. "Acting like they own the fucking universe."
Mia, her eyes narrowed, added, "Their tech might be advanced, but arrogance is a universal trait, it seems."
Caleb, arms folded, snorted. "Yeah, they've got their heads so far up their own asses, they could wear their colon as a necklace."
At that moment, an official approached, overhearing their conversation. "I understand your feelings, but we need to endure their attitude. They are the pilots of the spaceship we're boarding. There's no alternative here."
Caleb rolled his eyes, "Great, stuck on a tin can with Captain Smug and his merry band of pricks. This is going to be a long fucking trip."
Sarah, usually quiet, spoke up, her voice tinged with frustration, "So we just play nice while they look down on us? That doesn't sit right with me."
Ethan, clenching his fists, said, "Playing nice in the spaceship is one thing, but if it comes down to a fight in the games, I'm not holding back."
Alex, who had been quietly assessing the Ufotans, finally spoke, his tone confident and challenging. "Let them have their moment. If this comes to a battle, I'll beat the crap out of them, advanced civilization or not. They're not invincible."
The team members exchanged looks, a silent agreement passing between them. While they would have to tolerate the Ufotans' arrogance during the journey, they were united in their resolve to prove themselves in the Universe Ascendancy Games.
Caleb, smirking at Alex's declaration, patted him on the back. "That's the spirit. Let's show these futuristic snobs what Earthlings are made of. We'll endure their bullshit for now, but when the games start, all bets are off."
Caleb's team gathered around, watching the Ufotans with a mix of annoyance and disbelief. "Can you believe these assholes?" Leo muttered, glaring at the departing figures. "Acting like they own the fucking universe."
Mia, her eyes narrowed, added, "Their tech might be advanced, but arrogance is a universal trait, it seems."
Caleb, arms folded, snorted. "Yeah, they've got their heads so far up their own asses, they could wear their colon as a necklace."
