"Does it involve the OS's virtual assistant?" Sarah queried.
"Yes, the updates will be handled by the device's virtual assistant. This means that the virtual assistant will continuously download and remove certain elements from the game while ensuring that the game size remains under 250 MB," Aron elaborated.
"Wouldn't that result in the game consuming a substantial amount of internet data, potentially leading to a decline in the player base?" Sarah expressed her concern.
"You don't need to worry about that. The monthly updates performed by the virtual assistants will only be around ten MB in size, which is negligible," Aron reassured.
"Is the entire game complete?" Sarah asked, wanting to know the status of the game, as her subsequent question would depend on Aron's response.
"Yes," Aron replied, awaiting the next question.
"Then, besides the size consideration, why is there a need for constant updates instead of releasing the complete game?" Sarah asked, posing her second question.
"Here is the thing" Aron said and paused a bit thinking about how he can explain it easily to her and continued
"The game features what you might call an open map, with hundreds, if not thousands, of interconnected storylines. To accommodate all of these stories and diverse gameplay experiences, I designed the game to allow the virtual assistant in each player's device to continuously download updates tailored specifically to that player," Aron explained, taking a moment to catch his breath before continuing.
"One of the reasons behind this approach is to make the game accessible to a wide range of players, including casual gamers who might be deterred by a large initial download size. Additionally, the game's storyline will always be unique depending on how it is played, the device used, and the specific storyline followed," he elaborated.
Aron paused, allowing Sarah to process the information and ask further questions. However, he withheld one more reason—the continuous acquisition of "sp" in the game.
Indeed, these frequent small updates performed automatically by the virtual assistants in players' devices will continuously generate sp for Aron. While the amount of sp earned per device during each update may be as low as 0.001 or even less, the cumulative effect becomes significant when considering the large number of devices expected to be playing the game and receiving updates.
This approach enables Aron to accumulate sp gradually and consistently without the need to release new and disruptive products to the public every time he requires more sp.
It grants him the freedom to control the timing and manner in which he unveils new technologies to the public.
Having heard Aron's reasonable explanation, Sarah nodded her head, indicating that she had comprehended his explanation.
"Can you explain the storyline of the game?" Sarah inquired, realizing that her brief experience of playing the game for only half an hour hadn't provided her with a solid understanding of its foundation. Nevertheless, she found herself already hooked and intrigued by its addictive nature.
"When you started the game, you selected your character and answered a series of questions, right?" Aron asked.
"Yes," Sarah nodded in confirmation.
"Based on your choices, the virtual assistant sends the information to the game server, where it calculates the most suitable storyline for you and sends an update tailored to your character before you officially begin gameplay. This update includes specific storylines, cutscenes, and various other elements.
As you make decisions and choices throughout the game, your storyline will continue to evolve, creating a unique experience for each player. These individual storylines will eventually intertwine into the game's overarching storyline, transforming it into a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in the future.
For a more detailed explanation, I will send you an email outlining everything," Aron concluded his explanation.
"Sure, I'll be waiting for the email. Regarding the management of the game's content, considering its size, do we need to establish a dedicated department, or can the game handle everything similar to the GAIA OS?" Sarah inquired.
"While most tasks will be automated and handled by the AI, such as preparing seasonal events and special offers, there will still be a need for someone to oversee the overall operation. You can create a small team to fulfill this role," Aron explained.
"Understood. I will take care of that," Sarah replied, indicating her understanding and willingness to manage the team.
They continued their discussion about the game until they shifted their focus to the topic of advertising.
"When it comes to advertising the game, I suggest we leverage the GAIA OS as a means of reaching a wider audience faster," Sarah proposed, sharing her idea on how they should approach the advertising strategy.
"Sure, you can do that," Aron agreed to her suggestion.
"Okay then, we will start the process of planning the advertisement and selecting the release date of the game before initiating the campaign," Sarah explained her proposed plan.
"Sure, as always, I trust your judgment. I have another trip scheduled in the upcoming weeks," Aron replied, entrusting Sarah with the responsibility, as he often did.
"Alright, I'll inform you when we're ready to begin the plan," Sarah confirmed.
"Mh..." Aron nodded, acknowledging her words.
Having agreed on the course of action, Sarah asked "When will your parents and Henry be returning?" changing the topic to something else.
"It's uncertain at the moment, but they will definitely be back at least a week before Henry's school reopens," Aron replied, indicating that there is no fixed return date set for them during their vacation.
They continued their conversation on various topics, and after having lunch together in the company cafeteria, Aron bid farewell to Sarah and embarked on his journey back home.
...….
Universal simulation.
Upon arriving home, Aron wasted no time and immediately logged in to the Universal Simulation.
[Sir, why haven't you informed Sarah about the new program? Wouldn't it make it easier for you to explain certain things to her?] Nova asked as Aron settled into the seat she had materialized for him upon his arrival.
"At the moment, I cannot disclose the details to Sarah. My plan is to have a conversation with both her and Felix once we have completed the company's relocation to Eden and they have signed a runic contract.
I am avoiding it at the moment due to the risk that Sarah could be targeted, arrested, or even kidnapped, potentially leading to interrogation and the unintended disclosure of our secret.
Therefore, I have decided to postpone the discussion until after the move to Eden, where I can ensure their complete security and safety," Aron explained.
Aron knew the importance of informing Sarah and Felix, as their knowledge would help them avoid making mistakes or engaging in actions they might perceive as helpful but could ultimately be harmful due to their lack of awareness.
"That's true," Nova agreed, as she materialized two computers for both of them to continue playing the game from where they had left off.
They were really getting addicted to it.
.....
While Aron was playing games with Nova, the real world was talking about him and he was trending on social media.

[@reallycurious]
That aside, I'm really curious why he is not seen publicly like many other tech geniuses?
#AronVisit #Curious
Someone asked the question that is in many of the people's minds.
[@TechEnthusiast101]
Maybe he wants to create a mysterious image to keep people intrigued. It's all part of his strategy!
#AronVisit #MysteriousGenius
[@IntrovertTechie]
Perhaps he's just naturally shy and prefers to let his work speak for itself. Not everyone seeks the limelight.

[@KnowledgeSeeker99]
I heard a rumor that he was expelled from his university for fabricating a thesis. Maybe he's afraid of that coming to light.
#AronVisit #Rumors
But the response that garnered the most attention from people was...
[@Therealone]
I studied with him in the same class (Picture down in case of evidence). It is true that he was expelled due to fabricating a thesis during his final year. So, I think it might be because he is still afraid of it coming to light.

While this was happening, Nova, who was utilizing a portion of her computing power, observed the situation unfold without intervening. She didn't want to draw more attention to Aron by getting involved in the argument. She remained a silent observer, keeping a close eye on the unfolding events.
