Are you sure you are connected?

Can you ping the mirror?

Looks like you're not connected to the internet. Have you set up networking?

And where are you?  While only a few were shown, that is a very odd selection of mirrors.  Germany, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Beijing.  You should pick mirrors that you are close to.  Three of those might suggest southeast asia, but then one is european (as is your time zone).

I'm located in western europe, those mirrors you see were the last being tried by pacman. The firsts are usually come from my home country.
Here's what happens when i ping :

Re: [SOLVED, Thanks]Need help with pacman post install

Have you tried:

# systemctl start dhcpcd.service

If that brings your connection up, use:

# systemctl enable dhcpcd.service
