Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Sentinel’s Official launch

Testing ONI had taken quite a while, mostly because the sensation of his mind being partitioned was pretty addictive.

He was deliberately trying to overwork all seven at the same time but he still didn’t know the limit even after spending close to twelve hours on it.

{I think it’s time to leave the lab,} Athena informed, {you haven’t eaten since yesterday’s breakfast with Irina.}

"I’m fine," Ethan responded, "I just need to run one more test."

{That’s what you said eight hours ago,} Athena said before threatening, {if you refuse to go get something to eat, I’ll send the camera footage of all your hours in the lab to María.}

Ethan’s hand froze above the writing part of the wall, Athena’s words took a moment to register before he asked, "are you blackmailing me?"

{Yes,} Athena responded, her tone sounding serious, {and I’ve already compiled all the footages and put them on a timer so even if you restrict my access to them, the video would be sent anyway.}

"Well that’s new," Ethan said with a chuckle before walking away from the wall that was filled with math formulas that seemed to make no sense, "fine, I’ll leave the lab."

He resigned, took off his lab coat before walking to the lab’s bathroom for a quick shower.

A couple of minutes later, he stepped out with a new set of clothes on.. When he said Irina had gone overboard, he really meant she had gone completely overboard.

As if knowing that he would be spending nights at this lab, she had prepared a separate room, fitted with everything he might need, including clothes.

How she had known his sizes, Ethan had no idea but he didn’t mind, since this was pretty convenient.

He walked out, making sure he locked it behind him. He noticed how the heat outside was a contrast to the constant coldness in the lab, provided by multiple ACs that were constantly on.

Slowly, he walked to his car, parked at the lab’s/ warehouse’s lot. Today was a pretty important day for three reasons.

Sentinel’s launch and Google’s partnership announcement, his real world test, and the beginning of Nathaniel’s end.

Calmly, he drove towards his apartment since he wouldn’t be needed at the company because Lillian was going to handle everything, plus he hadn’t returned for probably two days now, so Isabela might be a bit worried.

He observed how much clearer the world around him was while watching through ONI.

Interfaces for accessing highway cameras and other tech connected to the Internet popped up the moment he entered the city.

Anyone else would’ve lost focus at the sudden appearance of texts even if it was at the edge of their vision, but Ethan already had a separate partition of his mind handling everything that, hence the reason why he didn’t turn that feature off.

Calmly, he continued driving as he read through the options, none caught his interest so he just dismissed them.

ONI was also actively erasing his presence on camera’s and any observation tech, a task previously handled by Athena...Well, it was technically still being handled by her since she was in charge of the AI part of ONI, but it’s still on a minimal scale.
