Actually, the Ancient Gods Company wanted to bring forward the testing schedule. However, because Starfire had gained so much renown and needed to sign contracts for potential collaborations, they were instead asked to postpone.
But Starfire's reluctance seemed to others, especially the other mecha recipients, like a display of cowardice.
Moreover, they were extremely annoyed that Li Yao, a homebody gamer, had received the best and first mecha.
The old-timers disliked them, regardless of how much testing data they provided.
That homebody gamer, on the other hand, didn't know how often to provide data but the old men treated whatever he offered as a treasure.
This caused disdain among the second batch of mecha recipients to reach its peak. They knew full well that the disdain from the old-timers was because they didn't want to waste good resources on making test pieces, and they weren't impressed with the test data.
