Sarah and Felix began their lab tours one by one, swiftly moving from one lab to the next as soon as they satisfied their curiosity in each. As the twelfth hour approached, they found themselves instantly teleported back to the city's skies, having only explored approximately nine research labs. Their progress accounted for less than a quarter of a percent of the total number of labs present in the city.
Surprised by their sudden teleportation, Felix questioned, "Twelve hours have already passed?" He couldn't believe it, as from his perspective, it felt like he had spent no more than three hours exploring the city's labs.
"Yes" Aron confird, settling into the chair that Nova had materialized for them in the sky.
Sarah, after glancing at the screen she had used to navigate the city, exclaid, "According to the progress bar here, I haven't even visited one percent of the research labs in the city!" She was astonished by the sheer scale of the remaining unexplored labs, realizing that their tour had barely scratched the surface of what the city had to offer.
"Don't worry," Aron reassured them. "I've granted your glasses access to this place, so you can revisit it whenever you want in the future. However, rember to log out after you pass through the Rashomon gate when you co here on your own." Aron pointed towards the distant Rashomon gate, which beca visible only when he zood in due to its considerable distance from the city.
"Why do we need to log out after passing through the Rashomon gate?" Sarah inquired, her tone expressing genuine curiosity rather than arrogance.
"As I ntioned earlier, the ti acceleration here is set at five to one. If you log out directly from here, your brain will undergo a sudden transition from experiencing ti at five tis the normal rate to returning to the regular pace. Such a drastic shift will break your mind." Aron explained.
Felix raised an important question, asking, "If the transition from accelerated ti to normal ti is potentially harmful, how is it that we didn't feel any negative effects when you forcefully logged us in earlier?"
"When I forcefully logged you in earlier, I actually teleported you into a ti bubble where ti was not accelerated." Answered Aron.
"Why didn't you make it impossible for people to log out from this accelerated zone? It seems like a straightforward solution to prevent any potential harm." She asked, wondering why such a precautionary asure wasn't implented in the first place, considering the potential risks involved.
"I didn't consider that aspect since I was the only one accessing this world from the outside. " Aron admitted with a touch of embarrassnt.
[Actually, I've already taken care of that, there's no need to worry about it] Nova said, her arm gently patting Aron's back
"But why are we still up here in the sky? I just can't get used to it," Sarah asked, attempting to shift the conversation and spare Aron from further embarrassnt as she gazed down at the city beneath them with an unwavering sense of curiosity.
"That will greatly assist you," Aron said, and Nova promptly materialized a folder, handing it over to Sarah.
"Now I really wish I had an assistant like yours," Sarah remarked, appreciating the efficiency with which Nova handled Aron's tasks, also admiring the elegance of Nova's slender hands.
"I will provide each of you with an assistant, but it will take so ti. I need to build a server for them first," Aron explained, casting a gaze towards both Sarah and Felix.
"Oh," Sarah replied upon hearing Aron's words, then asked, "Are you planning to build sothing similar to the one that is in the research labs here?" wanting to understand the scope of the server Aron intended to create.
"Yes, but on a much larger scale than what you saw in the lab," Aron responded.
"Wow," Sarah exclaid, taken aback by the sheer scale of Aron's plans. She was certain that such a powerful server would be capable of rivaling every computer in the world combined, without even considering it a challenge.
"If you encounter any difficulties during the process, such as governnt interference or any other obstacles, inform imdiately, and I will solve it as swiftly as possible," Aron stated, redirecting the conversation back to the main topic at hand.
"Indeed, I anticipated the governnt's potential resistance, particularly using our NATO deal as a pretext for impeding the relocation on grounds of national security," Sarah acknowledged, demonstrating her awareness of the possible challenges that could arise due to the existing agreent.
"What about ? Am I going to remain the CEO of CONNECT, or are you going to sell it now that your use of it is over?" Felix asked.
"No, I'm not selling the company and letting soone else have control over my access to the internet once again," Aron replied firmly. "As for you, Felix, you will remain as the CEO of the company. However, it's ti for us to start the process of expanding," Aron continued, as Nova handed Felix a folder as well.
The folder contained detailed plans outlining how CONNECT would expand in the upcoming days.
Taking a quick look at the contents of the folder, Felix raised his head and said, "I couldn't help but notice that all of the plans in here are dostic."
"You're right about that," Felix responded, nodding in agreent. "The company is going to focus on developing various industries in Eden. This approach aims to expedite the country's developnt and address any challenges that GAIA technology may currently face due to its existing state."
Felix chuckled in response to Aron's comnt. "So, I guess that makes responsible for the dostic market, and she's in charge of the international market," he joked, playfully acknowledging their respective roles in the company.
"Exactly," Aron chid in, building upon Felix's statent. "I want Eden to be in its best possible shape, as it's crucial for the developnt I have planned for my companies. I chose this country because I wanted to have control over my ventures, but that doesn't an I'm willing to settle for substandard quality within the country. That's precisely why I created CONNECT—to ensure that we can improve and elevate the standards, not only for my companies but for the entire country."
Sarah and Felix's simultaneous exclamation of "Ooooh" indicated their genuine admiration for Aron's foresight and forward-thinking mindset.
They were impressed by his ability to envision the future and take proactive steps to address potential challenges himself and not depend on anyone else to do it for him.
Amidst the impressed expressions, Nova interjected with a playful tone, [Hey, just so you all know, I was the one who ca up with those ideas!] Her words imdiately wiped away the fake prideful expression on Aron's face, leading to laughter from their friends and Aron himself.
It was a lighthearted mont, filled with camaraderie and good-natured teasing among the group.
