I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 598: Treasures of the Wild Territory

"It’s a little tempting... What more have they found?" Nash asked, a hint of greed in his voice.

"They also found a whole sea of natural law water."

"A sea of Natural Law Water? Lucky!"

This law resource could accelerate the growth of herbs and plants.

Although it wasn’t too rare and could still be bought with money, finding a whole sea was a different matter entirely.

Such a quantity could already supply a whole domain like the Sun Star Void.

If managed carefully, it should be able to continuously gather more of itself, like a perpetual motion machine.

Thinking of this, Nash couldn’t help but feel envious.

It seemed this place was truly brimming with resources.

If he went out, coupled with Elizabeth’s luck-blessing ability, he could...

Suddenly, before his greed could consume him, Nash snapped out of his thoughts.

While going out promised massive rewards, failure was not something he could afford.

It might even attract various cosmic teams to the Sun Star Void Area.

It was better to stabilize this place and train much longer before venturing out.

By then, with enough strength, couldn’t he just take back those precious resources?

"Should I continue, Commander?"

"No, just compile everything and report to me later." Nash shook his head.

If Julius continued, Nash might not be able to hold himself back.

With the speed and stealth of void pulse, Nash could...

"Hmm, I’ll compile everything into a separate file." Julius muttered with a quiet complaint.

Everything he did and gathered was reported to Nash without a single thing missing.

Yet he still had to compile another report, which meant his commander wasn’t reading his messages at all.

"Alright, I’ll read your reports from time to time!" Nash promised, catching the look in his eyes.

It wasn’t that Nash wasn’t reading those reports. He simply wasn’t paying them enough attention.

As long as there wasn’t any emergency, all of Julius’s reports would just be copied to the [Library Module].

After such a long time, Nash had even forgotten Julius had been reporting to him.

"Go on. Deal with the soul currency system as soon as possible. You can also try various forms of propaganda and see how it works." Nash suggested.

He didn’t have any data on how to gather the will of people beyond getting their recognition.

Nash could only experiment and move step by step.

---

Soon, after dismissing Julius, Nash headed toward the Combat Tower.

Wanting to fight a few battles to vent, he was no longer in the mood to explore the Xenus Virtual Market.

Stepping inside the door, Nash was quickly transported into its internal space.

[Welcome to the Xenus Combat Tower.]

[Please Input Your Name.]

"Noir." Nash typed.

Aside from a few close friends, almost no one knew the virtual identity he used for battles.

[Please Select the Combat Mode:

Ranking Mode

Mortal Mode

Private Battle

Group Battle

Mission Board]

"Oh? There are different modes?"

Reading through each one, Nash roughly understood their setups.

Ranking Mode was somewhat similar to the Chronos Arena.

Winning would push one up level by level, while losing would drop one down by a level.

The only difference was the combat mechanic.

Instead of retaining each fighter’s individual strength, matches would be normalized to the stronger one.

This meant that if one were a War God and the other only a Void Warrior, the Void Warrior would be pushed up to War God level.

Of course, this was only an example. In reality, the arena could only simulate up to tier 6 Void Emperor.

Simulating the power of tier 7 and 8 individuals consumed excessive computational resources.

Even if there were prebuilt data on the virtual server, they wouldn’t be so wasteful.

Besides, the Combat Tower was meant to train cosmic elites and the general army.

For Generals and Guardians, their goal was not to train but to protect and keep watch.

Turning his gaze down, an interested flash crossed his eyes.

Although Ranking Mode was quite interesting, it was nothing compared to Mortal Mode.

In this mode, everyone would be stripped of all their power and abilities, with their thinking slowed down to the same level.

The goal was to create a fair ground for combat where no one could draw on any of their real strength.

It was a perfect place for those who had no worthy opponents and wanted to train their combat mastery.

"This is perfect."

Nash’s combat mastery had already reached a pseudo-mythical level.

Unfortunately, no matter how he fought, he couldn’t break through that last layer.

It seemed he had relied too much on the module system and hadn’t honed his combat instincts enough.

Nash had tried to fix this in the Chronos Arena, but unfortunately, the opponents were too strong, and he never had enough time.

Seeing a battlefield that seemed tailor-made for him, Nash no longer hesitated and tapped on it.

As for Private Battle, Group Battle, and Mission Board, none of them sparked any interest.

Diving into Mortal Mode, Nash met his opponent.

Feeling his body lose all its strength and his mind slow to a crawl, Nash felt a little uncomfortable.

This might be the downside of entering such a battle.

Taking a deep breath, he held on through the discomfort.

While waiting for the countdown to end, he began to test the limits of the Combat Tower.

Unlike the Chronos Arena, built by a large, dedicated team, the Combat Tower was hastily constructed by a group of scientists and professionals.

Although ready-made templates were used, it was still far inferior.

Soon, as the fight began, Nash felt as if he were fighting in a 2D world.

While his power was suppressed to that of a mortal, Nash felt he could poke right through it with a finger.

His opponent also quickly lost interest as their strength began leaking out, rendering the mode useless.

Once one reached the Tier 4 Void Venerate Realm, the suppression of the virtual world became little more than paper.

"What a waste of time." Not caring about the battle, his opponent quickly surrendered and exited.

Meanwhile, not too quick to judge, Nash began using the [Control Module System] to suppress his own strength.

Trying to punch, kick, and jump, his eyes quickly lit up.

"This—"

With the virtual world and the module system combined, it seemed he could create something unimaginable.
