According to Finn Lewis’s estimate, they could complete the game in a month. During this month, they wouldn’t need to leave the nutrition capsule, which contained enough nutrient solution to provide the energy needed by a person for over a month. The capsule also came with muscle-stimulation and restoration measures to prevent muscle atrophy.

Moreover, based on their current physical condition and the calculated exertion in the virtual war game, their muscle strength would sync with that in the game, including resistance to impacts and so forth. After they left the capsules, they wouldn’t feel a disconnect between their physical bodies and their response level.

There wouldn’t be any adaptation issues – this was the strength of the nutrition capsule. It wasn’t something Finn Lewis bought directly from the Galactic Federation; it had been modified by Zero and Luna Starfield. The Galactic Federation’s capsules were just for ordinary people’s entertainment and gaming needs.

Such capabilities were developed by Zero and Luna Starfield.

However, even Finn Lewis underestimated human potential, or perhaps Luna Starfield did as well. He assumed that it would be quite good if they could finish the task in a month. What surprised him was the terrifying speed at which these soldiers were adapting to the battlefield, particularly its stark realism: they had to be extremely careful or they would die. They also began to integrate everything they had learned and would learn in the future.

Within a mere week, they had been completely exterminated four times, completed the mission with half the team gone seven times, and finished the mission with two-thirds of the team intact three times. Toward the end, only one or two people got sacrificed due to unexpected incidents. In total, they had carried out the mission 38 times.

What did it feel like to die at least a dozen times in a week? Every death was an unpleasant experience. Even though they knew they wouldn’t actually die here, nobody wanted to experience that dying sensation again. Moreover, there were all sorts of ways to die.

Although they felt like they had spent two months, in reality, it had only been one. But these two virtual months were equivalent to two months of wartime.

According to Luna Starfield’s calculations, one month was the optimal training duration. If it lasted too long, fatigue would set in and the results wouldn’t be as good.

Once the last mission was over, everyone appeared in the initial room again, and Finn Lewis said with a grin, “This was our last mission. Next, we’re going to have a break.”

“Whoa,” As Finn’s words settled in, everyone cheered loudly. Over these past two months, every one of them had been on tenterhooks, but the transformation they’d undergone was extraordinary. From being regular elite soldiers, they had become seasoned veterans who had tasted life and death many times over.

In a time of peace, this training was terrifying. Not even the North Federation Marine Corps had experienced anything like it. Was there a second chance in real life after death? But there was one here.

“Now, everyone needs to go back to your rooms for a nap. When you wake up, you’ll be back in the real world. I’ll be waiting for you outside,” Finn Lewis said with a smile.

“Yes, sir!” Every soldier stood tall, saluted, and shouted in unison. Over the past month, Finn Lewis had been just a regular soldier, but his fearlessness had won their respect. Of course, Finn Lewis had not fully exerted himself. His physical fitness was superb now; if he had pushed himself, they would have easily completed many of the missions.

The soldiers had to sleep for three hours. During that time, Luna Starfield would subconsciously train their minds, letting them know that when they woke up, they would be in the real world again. After all, the environment here was indistinguishable from reality.
