Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Ways to Increase Knowledge

Ethan booked a cab back to the docks since he wasn’t willing to leave the rental car there.

By the time he got there, the attackers were long gone and it didn’t even seem as if the explosion happened close to this place.

Athena had made sure the vicinity was clear before he even got there so there was no need for him to worry about the attackers lingering there.

The black rental car was exactly where he parked it, completely untouched.

"Athena?" He called out and she immediately replied.

{I’m on it.}

There was silence for a couple of minutes before she reported back, {every camera footage of you and the car has been wiped clean and replaced with another.}

"Thanks," he said as he opened the car’s door and started it.

This was done as a safety precaution, Incase attackers came back for it.

The car pulled out of the docks, with Ethan’s eyes fixed on the rear view mirror, checking for any sign of tailing and although there was none, he was still cautious.

Getting involved with Irina was bound to bring some heat his way, but before their first meeting even happened? That was unexpected.

And if there was one thing he had learnt, it was that he was almost completely helpless when he wasn’t sitting behind his monitors, pulling the strings.

He had found himself under gun point multiple times today and it only served to remind him of how he had previously died.

"System," he calmly called out.

[Yes host?] It replied.

"Is there any other way to improve my Knowledge?" He asked.

The TDI was the greatest asset in his hands, one only restricted by his knowledge. It was capable of creating a blueprint for anything he could imagine as long as his knowledge and proficiency values were high enough.

Unfortunately, as much as he had learnt a variety of subjects in the past.. future (?), they were no where enough to create everything he wanted.

He could just start learning the important fields one by one, but that would take years, even decades, to reach mastery. Years he didn’t have.

[There are two additional methods, host,] the System responded.

"Go on."

[First: System granted knowledge points. By completing specific challenges or missions I issue, you may be granted points. This provides a structuredknowledge stream, enough to elevate your proficiency more quickly than conventional study.]

"I see," Ethan nodded,"it’s like uploading the knowledge into my brain."

He had experienced this twice before and although the feeling was unpleasant, it was an undeniably effective way of increasing his knowledge without having to spend years studying.

[Closer to downloading years of guided experience,] the system explained. [But it won’t make you a genius overnight. You’ll still need to practice and apply it, otherwise it’ll remain shallow.]

The system was right, his knowledge increase in Cyber security would’ve just become obsolete if he hadn’t used it on sentinel.

The only disadvantage to this was that the system only issued missions once in a while.

Since his regression, he had only gotten two missions so far and they were not ones he could complete in a matter of few days or so.

But the system wasn’t done yet, [Second: Knowledge Extraction. If you acquire the notes, research papers, or even the mind-state of another individual, the System can integrate and reformat that knowledge for your use. The efficiency depends on your existing foundation.]

That caught Ethan’s attention. "So, if I can get my hands on, say... the personal archives of a robotics genius?"

[Yes. Integration would be possible.]

This... this was awesome. This way he didn’t have to spend years studying or wait for a System-issued mission, he just had to find the right people... or the right information.

And with Athena, that would be really easy.

But before his bubble could float high enough, the system popped it with the next set of words that appeared on the holographic screen, [although, unlike the knowledge that comes from the knowledge points granted by the system, there’s no guarantee that the ones acquired from this world would be higher than tier 2, especially in this timeline.]

[Also, there’s a higher chance that your brain might explode from knowledge overload unlike the streamlined one from the knowledge points.]
