I Can Program My Body?

To achieve that three-minute performance, the [Engraving Module System] would need seven billion units of computational power, more than he had ever used before.

If it used more than the computational power that he had, then it would defeat the purpose of creating the [Engraving Module System] in the first place.

Nash's computational power was only 9.2 billion.

He planned to reserve 3 billion for the [Library Module System], with another 1.2 billion set aside for his other runic module systems to function at maximum capacity.

Coupled with his own needs to create or optimize his training manuals and module systems, Nash could only allocate 2 to 3 billion computational power to the [Engraving Module System] at most.

"Let's see if it can still work with reduced computational power…"

Frowning, he gradually lowered the computational power the [Engraving Module System] could access to engrave runic languages.

From 6 billion to 5 billion, then 4 billion.

As he reduced the power, the efficiency slowed.

But as long as it worked, Nash didn't mind if it took longer to engrave one runic language each time.

Through testing, he found the [Engraving Module System]'s limit at 2.5 billion computational power.

Any lower, and it would fail, unable to keep up with the rapid changes in the item's runic program.

Without a prediction model as a foundation, it could only rely solely on rapid calculation to handle the various variations of the runic program.

Its efficiency, though, exceeded Nash's expectations.

To engrave all four runic languages on a gravitational orb collector, the [Engraving Module System] took 15 minutes.

"This is enough!" Nash clenched his fist in excitement.

By automating the runic language engraving on these resource collectors, he finally had time for himself.

Though he couldn't use his body for other experiments on his path to becoming a scientist, his consciousness remained free to deduce anything.

With the extra 2.5 billion computational power, Nash planned to develop a void saturation manual that could achieve up to 100,000% saturation.

With his soul just three months from reaching 100,000% saturation, Nash didn't want his void saturation to fall too far behind.

However, to break through beyond 10,000% void saturation, his body needed to break its physique limit with another genetic potion.

Otherwise, no matter how advanced the manual he deduced, it would be useless if his body couldn't take it.

After all, unlike his soul, which seemed to grow infinitely, his void saturation depended on his body's load-bearing capacity.

"Let's start…"

---

Setting the [Library Module System] to focus heavily on reading and comprehending the void saturation manual, Nash got to work.

Editing and parsing the void saturation manuals he comprehended, he made steady progress toward his goal.

From 10,000% void saturation, 15,000% void saturation, 30,000% void saturation, 50,000% void saturation, 70,000% void saturation…

Until a month later, Nash finally deduced a Void Saturation Manual that reached up to 100,000% saturation.

"Not bad. It seems I haven't gotten rusty after all that manual labor," Nash said with a delighted smile.

If he could deduce a void saturation manual up to 100,000% void saturation, aiming for a million or even a billion was no longer a dream.

"It'll happen soon…" Nash grinned, brimming with ambition.

Unfortunately, to reach those higher levels, he needed more reference books.

The void saturation manuals in the Nova Library were nearly exhausted.

Now, he only had a few million books that he still hadn't used as a reference.

Compared to the billions he just used as references to reach the manual's current level, his dream of achieving a million or billion percent void saturation felt far off.

Void fortification and condensation were even tougher.

The void saturation manual had the most references, yet it only took him to 100,000% saturation. What hope was there for the other two?

Caught up in his excitement, Nash suddenly thought of the Spirit Pavilion.

Nora had mentioned they were a pervasive organization spread across the entire Chronos Empire. They likely had all the books he needed.

But before he could join or access that vast treasure trove of knowledge, he first had to become an official scientist.

Snapping back to reality, Nash checked to see if the [Engraving Module System] had finished engraving all the gravitational orb collectors.

"What? Not even halfway done?"

With the system's efficiency, there should only be a few gravitational orb collectors that haven't had a runic engraving yet.

However, as he looked around, instead of decreasing, there seemed to be more gravitational orb collectors than before.

Accessing the [Memory Module System] to understand what happened, Nash quickly grasped the situation.

"That Nora, is she trying to work me to death?"

Seeing his diligence, Nora had added more types of gravitational orb collectors as the seeded talents discovered additional resource points.

With the special team formed by Natasha and others, killing over 150 lord-level dark beasts and clearing a large tract of land out of danger, they naturally uncovered more resource points.

"This is killing me with work," Nash sighed.

Fortunately, after another month of running the perfect soul fortification manual, his computational power officially broke through to 10.1 billion!

By minimizing his own computational needs to one billion, he could allocate about five billion to the [Engraving Module System], having a 7-minute efficiency.

At this speed, he should finish the engraving in two weeks at most.

"Now what do I do next?"

Although he only has one billion computational power left for himself, he could still do everything, albeit at a slower rate.

Reviewing his mental list of tasks, he chose to create the Void Condensation Manual.

It was critical that, after this simulated training, he advance to the Void General Rank.

This would allow him to take another genetic potion and break through his physique's limitations.

Though he wasn't sure if the Nova Sector had a planetary-grade genetic potion for sale, it was better to be prepared.

With a solid foundation of Void Condensation manuals he'd already comprehended, deducing one that could achieve 1000% condensation in two weeks should be easy.

With his next task decided, Nash got back to work.
