The Tycoon's Odyssey

It had been almost two months since he had been away.

As Evan stepped off the private plane and onto the tarmac of his estate, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. The familiar sight and sound of home, long absent, felt oddly comforting. He paused for a moment, gazing at the grand entrance of his mansion, and muttered to himself, "Home sweet home."

Despite the sentimental moment, Evan's mind remained focused. The exhaustion of two months of relentless travel and data collection was taking its toll, but there was no time for rest.

Entering the house, he grabbed a cup of spirit-vitalizing tea from the kitchen. The rich aroma offered a momentary respite, but Evan's thoughts quickly turned back to business.

He retreated to his study and pulled out his phone before dialing Aria's number. As the call connected, he asked, "Aria, how's the progress on consolidating the user information from the companies?"

His voice was calm and detached, a stark contrast to the fleeting warmth he had felt moments ago.

"Yes, we are currently in the process of consolidating the user information from the four companies," Aria explained, updating Evan on their progress.

"Great, so the consolidation will be completed in the next two months as planned," Evan confirmed with Aria.

"Yes. In fact, we might even finish ahead of the schedule since the workers are highly motivated thanks to the attractive pay, which is above the national average," Aria explained.

"Okay, great. See you then," Evan bid farewell and ended the call. always on m|vl|e|mp|y|r

After putting the phone back into his pocket, Evan asked Aurora, "How many people do we have on the list?"

[Approximately 57 people, sir,] Aurora promptly replied.

"Then I better get to work," Evan said as he retrieved the virtual headset from the box and put it on while adjusting his chair to a reclining position.

"Login," he muttered as he entered the virtual reality system.

"It's nice to finally have some time for myself after endless travels," Evan remarked while greeting Aurora.

[You should consider resting for about a week after you land,] Aurora suggested, concerned about his well-being.

"We can think about that after we have made the LAND," Evan replied before proceeding to an empty patch of land and opening the system's shop.

[(Neurogenic Alpha)

A program that converts brain waves into codes, allowing for advanced cognitive processing and the creation of complex digital constructs...

Price: 100K SP]

Evan had finally accumulated enough SP to purchase the Neurogenic Alpha program, and without any delay, he swiftly bought it.

It was basically an upgraded version of Neuroplus.

After the purchase, Evan immediately began utilizing the Neurogenic Alpha program to convert his brain waves into codes, enabling him to create clones of himself with specialized cognitive abilities.

Aurora watched as Evan set up the program and proceeded with the creation of the clones.

After completing the setup, Evan turned to Aurora and instructed, "Create ten clones of me using the Neurogenic Alpha program. Then, prepare to establish Next Gen Technologies by taking over companies on the verge of bankruptcy, hiring workers, and setting up an R&D department."

Aurora followed Evan's instructions and materialized ten versions of Evan in front of them. She then initiated the process of taking over failing companies and organizing an R&D department.

[Sir, the process has started,] Aurora informed him about the progress.

"Great. Now let's officially put the brain data we've collected to use," Evan said before he pulled up a holographic map of the currently simulated part of the universe, which was just a small portion of the African continent.

"Send me to Newland," he requested after studying the map.

[Yes,] Aurora immediately acknowledged the order and teleported both herself and Evan to the coast of Lake Victoria.

Evan took in the surroundings for a moment before turning to Aurora and giving instructions, "Create a town here with everything that any researcher in every field would need."

[How big should it be?] Aurora inquired about the size of the town, asking if there were any limitations.

"Large enough to accommodate four times the number of people on the list," Evan replied, leaving the decision of its exact size to Aurora after sharing his minimum requirements.

[Sure,] Aurora responded and immediately got to work, creating a city that included everything a researcher could ever need.

The city was not just a town; it was a fully equipped facility, featuring state-of-the-art laboratories and cutting-edge machines that harnessed Aurora's advanced capabilities to conduct even the most theoretical experiments.

Aurora also developed a public transport system to connect the labs with residential areas and recreational facilities situated away from the scientific hubs.

Evan envisioned building a digital country that would be populated by professionals from every field.

Besides scientific advancements, the world was developing in all other fields, including social and cultural values.

Here, lawmakers would debate without any greed, striving to enact laws and suggestions that would genuinely benefit the people.

This was a step initiated by Evan to create a world for future generations, one filled with hope rather than bleakness.

While creating a perfect world was impossible, creating an ideal world wasn't.

[Sir, it's done,] Aurora informed after completing the city according to his specifications, with a few of her own adjustments.

"Let's take a look," Evan said, requesting Aurora to give him a tour of the city.

Aurora eagerly obliged and took Evan on a tour of the city using the new transport system that spanned the entire city. She seemed excited to show Evan what she had created, resembling a child showing her father her newly accomplished project.

After spending over five hours touring the city, they finally visited all the important parts of the city, despite having to stop the maglev train for some time and resort to teleportation.

"You really went above and beyond your way to make it a good place for people to live," Evan complimented Aurora after they finished the tour.

[Thanks,] Aurora responded, feeling very happy with Evan's praise of the city she had built.

"Now let's move forward. Create bodies and use the brain data we've collected to complete them," Evan commanded, officially initiating the next phase of Lab City.

Aurora followed Evan's orders and began to create thousands of bodies in the city's public square.

If you knew anyone influential in universities who resided in Europe and USL, you would have found them among the people Aurora materialized.

Aurora went beyond just materializing the bodies of the people; she also corrected any physical limitations they had in their original lives.

For instance, everyone was given a healthy and energetic body. Additionally, all the materialized individuals were set to the age of 25, ensuring that they were capable of performing any tasks.

Aurora then proceeded to upload the brain data into the bodies, effectively bringing them to life. However, she didn't upload all of the data they had collected since she had to manipulate some of their memories to ensure that they perceived their new environment as normal, avoiding any feelings of overwhelm or distress.

After finishing the brain data upload, Aurora allowed the materialized people to control their bodies and gave them time to adjust to their new surroundings.

Once they were given control of their bodies, the newly materialized individuals didn't cause any trouble or commotion. They simply looked at Evan and Aurora with gratitude before boarding the public transportation to return to their designated residences and rest.

To them, everything was normal, as it aligned with their existing memories.

After this group of people departed, Evan turned to Aurora, "When my clones finish training with the Neurogenic Alpha, have them implement the codes into their specific fields. Make each one study a specific discipline. Once they master it, I will transfer their knowledge to myself."

As for the materialized people, they would officially begin their research in their respective fields the next day.
