I Can Program My Body?

Even if he craved a fight and wanted to take on those lord-level dark beasts himself, there was still too much to do.

Not to mention optimizing the soul tempering manual.

He also had to refine the other manual, perfect the void fortification manual to 10,000%, and create the soul and void condensation manual.

Beyond that, he needed to study various scientific knowledge and develop a module system or a large-scale treasure to aid them in the future.

Swamped with tasks, Nash truly wished he had a time chamber to accelerate time.

Soon, after discussing their next steps, they began celebrating the shelter's advancement.

---

A week later.

Alone in his residence, Nash grinned widely as his soul began to undergo an earth-shattering change.

[Training Module System: Infinite Soul Tempering Manual

Current Soul Tempering: 28,049%

Efficiency: 1,000,000 Attributeless Elemental Crystals/Percentage

Absorption Speed: 1,000 (100) Attributeless Elemental Crystals/second]

"I finally optimized the soul tempering manual!" Nash clenched his fist.

With the foundation built by the [Library Module System] during their defence against the dark beast tide, he only needed to compile and integrate various techniques to perfect the manual.

Seeing the absorption speed drop from 9,000 to 1,000, Nash had no regrets.

As his saturation and fortification rates climbed higher, quality became increasingly vital.

Not only would it save resources, but it was also more efficient as his soul progressed.

Feeling his soul fortification being rebuilt from the ground up, Nash calculated how long it would take to equalize and catch up with his progress.

"Eight months…"

In the coming eight months, he would be reconstructing his soul fortification foundation.

The leap from 30 times amplification to 100 times was so vast that even with the soul training buff, it would take time.

Still, for the sake of his soul's quality, he could only wait patiently.

Fortunately, if the shelter advanced another level, the soul training buff could also be upgraded.

Following the progression of the soul enhancement buff, it should boost his soul training speed by 100 times at level 2.

From eight months to less than a month, he could perfect his foundation and push higher.

Next, for the optimization and creation of advanced manuals, the [Library Module System] was still steadily gathering knowledge.

Nash planned to optimize all his manuals after studying all the void and soul manuals of their corresponding rank.

The creation of the Void and Soul Condensation manual also followed the same approach.

Instead of crafting an imperfect version in a hurry, Nash aimed to create a perfect manual in one go.

With over three billion computational power input into the [Library Module System], he could access 10 billion books on void manuals, 10 billion on soul manuals, and 10 billion on scientific and general knowledge.

In a few years, or at most a few months after his computational power increased, he could read every book in the Nova Library.

"Huh~ I can finally start with various experiments…"

With nothing urgent to do, Nash planned to start his research and experiments.

A scientist couldn't be purely theoretical; they also had to innovate, discover, and invent.

Otherwise, if it were only about theoretical knowledge, an artificial intelligence could easily handle it.

Leaving his residence, Nash first checked the communication port to see the special team's progress in clearing the lord-level dark beasts.

"Hmm? They've already taken down 23? That's fast."

The special team was eliminating a dark beast every 10 hours, including travel time.

"I hope they don't run into trouble…"

Such a rushed operation was bound to hit problems sooner or later.

Still, knowing they wouldn't change their approach even if he urged them, Nash could only sigh.

Fortunately, even if they encountered multiple lord-level dark beasts, they should be able to escape to the shelter in time.

Easing his worries, Nash headed to Nora's workshop.

"Leader! What brings you here?" The seeded talents assisting Nora greeted him.

"I'm here to help."

"Help? Did the leader develop a new module system?" they asked, excited.

Talk of Nash's abilities had long circulated in the shelter.

Thinking he had created a new module system to aid them, they looked at him eagerly.

"No, I'm just here to test my knowledge," Nash said with a smile.

Though he hadn't started researching or experimenting, his theoretical foundation was rock-solid.

Over the past few months, the [Library Module System] has comprehended over a hundred million books.

This was comprehension, not mere reading, as Nash had already read nearly ten billion books.

Meanwhile, hearing Nash was there to test his knowledge, Nora, who had been busy with her experiments, paused.

"You're finally here to help. I thought you were just hoarding those books for nothing," Nora teased.

Knowing Nash had the entire Nova library in his storage ring, Nora had long guessed he was studying to become a scientist.

"I'm new to this, so if I make any mistakes, just tell me," Nash said.

"Oh? Then what do you plan to focus on? Life? Matter? Or Law?"

"Law. I'll start with Law," Nash replied without hesitation.

Though he wanted to explore all paths, he needed a starting point.

With his foundation in runic programs and commands, Nash's best choice was the path of Law.

"Law? Quite ambitious," Nora chuckled, intrigued.

The scientific path of Law was the hardest, most mysterious, and most dangerous.

Even with vast theoretical knowledge, one couldn't simply walk the path of Law without talent.

Even in the Nova Sector, there were only Tier 1 scientists specializing in Law.

Those who advanced beyond were either poached or perished in their pursuit.

The study of Law wasn't just about natural laws and elements of the world, but all kinds of mysterious energies.

From void energy, soul energy, and dark energy to natural and kinetic energy, all were included.

Tinkering with these dangerous substances, even with safety measures, was risky.

A single misstep could trigger an explosion beyond imagination.

Moreover, these energies often couldn't be brought to a safe place and had to be studied in their natural environments, making them even more hazardous.

Worst of all, even after enduring these dangers, researchers often couldn't produce tangible results.

Due to these challenges and risks, the path of Law was the least popular scientific pursuit, not only in the Nova Sector but across the entire Chronos Empire.
