Getting a Technology System in Modern Day-Chapter 78: Arriving in London
Upon reading several individuals profiles on the list, he ultimately deduced that it would take him a couple of months to thoroughly read every profile in its entirety.
Therefore, he resolved to simplify the list, but for that, he had to wait for Nova to complete the list which continued to expand during the half-hour that he spent reading through some of the profiles.
He patiently waited and waited, but time seemed to pass sluggishly, and before he knew it, an hour had elapsed, followed by two, and then three.
Realizing that it would take longer than anticipated, he resolved to utilize his time productively and resumed practicing his runes to prevent wasting his time idly.
A few hours later, still going.
One day later, Finally it was done.
[Sir, the list is now complete,] Nova informed Aron, who had just finished activating a rune.
"Why did it take that long?" Aron asked, as he was quite surprised that It took that long despite her using a quantum computer for the task.
[Sir, you may have forgotten that you are currently inside the Accelerated Simulation Universe,] Nova reminded Aron, who had been spending an increasing amount of time within it, gradually becoming acclimated to the accelerated time as if it were normal, as he could feel no discernible difference.
"Ahh..." Aron smacked his forehead in realization after being reminded by Nova.
"So, how many hours did it take?" Aron inquired.
[It took precisely six real-time hours, which translates to 30 accelerated hours,] Nova answered precisely.
"How many people are on the list?" Aron queried, gesturing toward a swath of profiles that blanketed one side of the sky.
[127,754,420] Nova responded without any hesitation or equivocation.
"Holy shit," Aron exclaimed, dumbfounded upon hearing the staggering number.
[This number was after going through my very stringent criteria's and several filtrations] Nova clarified that the number was the result of going through her exceedingly stringent criteria and multiple filtering processes, implying that there were more individuals, but they did not meet her rigorous standards.
"Alright, let's begin by narrowing down the pool," Aron declared as he brought up the categories.
However, upon setting his eyes on the categories, he became frustrated and exclaimed, "Screw it!" Aron then turned to Nova, pointing to his head and said, "Access my brain data and examine what I intended to achieve by telling you to do this task."
[Wasn't it meant to be a surprise for me?] Nova teased Aron as she complied with his request.
Aron faced Nova before responding, "You have probably deduced what it is from my recent activities over the past few days." Aron then clicked the approve button that had been sent to him by his system, which asked him to confirm whether he genuinely agreed to grant access to his brain data.
Once Nova received the data from Aron's brain, she quickly identified his objectives for the task at hand, and promptly began narrowing down the profiles that were blanketing the sky.
The profile list continued to decrease until it reached a size where Aron could see the entirety of the profiles despite them still covering a large portion of the sky.
"Now, group them into their respective fields," Aron said, wanting to simplify the process even further.
After grouping the profiles according to their respective fields, Aron began examining each list one by one, eliminating some individuals from each of them.
After an hour of scrutinizing, Aron had eliminated all the profiles he deemed unnecessary, leaving only 5000 individuals who were deemed important enough to warrant his attention for his upcoming plan.
Aron had narrowed down the selection to only a few specific fields and they were deemed experts in their respective fields, out of the million possibilities that Nova had initially presented.
The remaining profiles consisted of the names of experts from the fields of Architecture, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Math, Design, Law, Agriculture & Food Science, Finance, and a few other important fields within those categories.
"categorize them based on the country of residence," Aron ordered after finalizing his selection of who to keep on the list.
[Yes, Sir] Nova immediately sorted the list based on the countries where the experts lived.
So, individuals like Zaha Hadid and Stephen Hawking were placed on the list of people living in the United Kingdom, while people like Frank Wilczek were included in the list of people living in America.
After the categorization was completed, there were over 45 countries represented on the list.
Upon seeing the number of countries he would have to visit, Aron began to feel exhausted before even embarking on the journey.

Now back to the present
Aron could be seen driving Alone in the car together with the box that still had the rune active due to him still providing mana to it on the passenger seat heading to the airport, where the private plane was already waiting to take him to the United kingdom so that he can begin his plan
Aron could be seen driving alone in his car with the box containing the VR headgear, still protected by the active rune that he had to continuously provide mana to remain active, on the passenger seat.
He was heading to the airport where the private plane was waiting to take him to the United Kingdom.
Aron chose to travel alone for this mission because he didn't want anyone accompanying him during the execution of his plan.
He knew he would be traveling frequently in the upcoming months, so he didn't want to burden Daniel and the other bodyguards unnecessarily.
With his current abilities, he was confident that he could protect himself from practically anything on Earth.
...…..
12 Hours later.
Aron gazed out the window as the private jet approached London Luton Airport, after a grueling 12-hour flight from the United States.
After the plane landed, Aron bid farewell to the pilot and informed him that he would be staying in the UK for about a week. He then went through the necessary procedures with airport security before leaving the airport in a taxi.
After enduring about fifteen minutes of traffic, Aron finally arrived at his destination and promptly checked into a presidential suite at the Icon Hotel.
After completing the check-in procedures, a hotel worker escorted Aron to his suite. Aron didn't object to the worker carrying his specialized box as he was confident that the rune would protect it from any harm.
When he entered the suite, he immediately went to the bedroom and slept. He had been feeling jet lagged after the 12-hour flight and this was the first time he had slept without logging in the VR in more than a month.
....
4 hours later.
After sleeping for a while, Aron finally woke up and checked his phone. He realized that he had slept for about 4 hours, as the clock on his phone showed that it was almost midnight, with two hours left before it struck twelve.
So, he woke up and sat on the edge of the bed for a few minutes to collect himself.
He then picked up the hotel phone and called the reception.
"Hello, sir. How may I assist you?" A female voice on the other end of the line immediately greeted Aron after answering the call.
"Does the hotel provide rental car services?" Aron asked, wondering if the hotel had cars available for rent or if he would have to take a taxi to his destination.
"Yes, sir. We do provide private rental cars and chauffeur services for our presidential suite guests," the lady on the phone replied politely.
When Aron heard the reply, he was quite delighted by the news.
"Can I request for a rental car? I have some work to attend to. When can it be made available?" Aron asked the receptionist after learning that the hotel offers such service for their presidential suite guests.
"Sir, our team can prepare it within ten minutes of receiving the notice," responded the receptionist with a courteous tone.
"Great, please have it ready as I'll be coming down within the next half-hour," stated Aron while specifying the exact time he would arrive.
This allowed the hotel staff to ensure that everything was prepared and ready by the time he arrived.
"Certainly, sir," replied the woman with her usual polite tone.
"Thank you," Aron expressed his gratitude to the woman for her assistance before ending the call.
Following the call, Aron quickly made his way to the bathroom to freshen up before putting his plan into action.
After freshening up and changing his clothes, Aron made his way down to the lobby with his box in hand. As he arrived, he was greeted by a hotel worker who had been waiting for him.
The worker politely offered to escort him to the waiting car that had been arranged to take him to his desired destination. Aron agreed, remembering her voice from the call they had just a few minutes ago.
Upon arriving at where the car was, Aron thanked the hotel worker once again and handed her a generous tip of 1000 dollars for her help before boarding the waiting car that had been arranged for him.
The driver glanced at Aron through the rearview mirror and asked, "Where to, sir?" as they began the journey.
Aron promptly replied, "Cambridge."
The driver acknowledged the response and continued driving towards the requested location.
