As I observed the progress of the holograms in the virtual lab, I realized my patience was starting to wear thin. The incessant cycle of trial and error was impressive, but the delay was frustrating.
I sighed deeply before asking, "Based on the current progress, what's the estimated time to complete the task?"
["Approximately 20 hours."]
My brow furrowed immediately, and my voice came out sharper: "What? Why is it taking so long?"
The response came quickly: ["The codes become more complex as the acolyte progresses, but that's the least of it. The biggest factor increasing the time is calculating possible variables and finding ways to bypass them with maximum efficiency."]
