"Temporal Overlay? What's that?" he asked.
[Ohh! Do you remember the time compression thingy we talked about? (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ]
"Yeah, I remember… Don't tell me…" Maximilian muttered as anticipation and excitement rose in his chest.
[Yes! This is it! This is the function that can help you compress time. Moreover, it comes from the system itself… which means the Energy Blocks needed to initiate time compression will be reduced by about half compared to what we discussed last time. (ノ^▽^)ノ]
"I see…" Maximilian thought for a bit before asking, "How much does it cost to compress a year into one day within the confines of this building?"
[Umm… About 5 Energy Blocks per day,] Aetherna replied.
"Then I need two days of time compression. We'll start the day after tomorrow. I'll train Ricardo and his people during those two days so they can finally be useful," Maximilian said, then added,
"But first… I need to store a lot of food."
