I Can Program My Body?

Selling the perfect quality blood ginseng for 1.3 billion merits, Nash was already satisfied.

Although based on their tone and quick discussion, he knew he could ask for more, he didn't want to jeopardize his relationship with the Verdant Group.

"I also have these to sell. What do you think is the price?" Nash asked, taking out 16 stalks of blood ginseng, 304 pieces of blood elemental crystal, a bloodsnake inverse scale, and a Blood Snake Egg.

"This—"

Seeing the array of high-quality resources, the group of evaluators was left speechless, stunned.

It seemed the perfect quality blood ginseng earlier was just the appetizer.

"We can offer you 240 million merits for these stalks of blood ginseng. For the other materials, we can give you 1.6 million merits."

"What about the other two?"

"We can't buy the blood elemental crystals with merits; we don't have enough in stock. We can only offer you 40 million nova credits for each, totaling 12.16 billion."

"That's fine, I'll accept the nova credits." Nash nodded in satisfaction.

Although one could exchange merits for nova credits, the reverse wasn't possible.

If they used merits to pay for the blood elemental crystals, it would cost more than the perfect quality blood ginseng.

"What about this egg? How much are you willing to pay for it?"

"To be honest, we don't have much need for it. If you're in a hurry to sell, we can buy it for 150 million merits."

"However, if you're willing, it's better to auction this egg for a higher price. There should be a big auction a week before the cosmic competition."

The egg was like a collector's item: for some, it was worth a fortune; for others, it was merely ordinary.

If they were buying it for its usual potential, a hundred million merits were enough.

However, as a descendant of a war god snake devourer, if one had the ability to purify its bloodline, it could be worth billions.

"Then I'll keep it for now…"

After hearing their explanation, Nash decided to hold onto the Blood Snake Egg for the time being.

Anyway, after this transaction, he would have enough merits and nova credits. If he needed money later, he could always sell it.

As for hatching the pet himself, he wasn't interested.

He could barely secure enough resources for himself—how could he afford another liability?

After tallying all the items, the evaluators contacted someone from the headquarters to secure the funds.

Teleporting from multiple main shelters, another group arrived at the Dark Willow Shelter carrying their payment.

Initiating the transaction, a prompt appeared before him.

[Verdant Group Sent you 1,541,600,000. Do you accept?]

Accepting the payment, his panel displayed additional zeros.

[Nash Navre:

Rank: Void Warrior (630%+)

Soul: 160% saturation

Merits: 1,589,378,020]

"The payment for the nova credits has been sent to your virtual account. You can check it now."

Nodding, Nash logged into the Virtual World, opening his account at the Nova Bank.

[Nash Navre: 0077 xxxx…

Current Balance: 12,606,948,900 Nova Credits]

"So much money…"

Twelve billion nova credits, equivalent to 12 billion void crystals!

Even Earth only had an annual output of a few hundred million void crystals.

Holding such a vast amount of wealth, Nash still found it unbelievable.

Calming himself, he returned to the Dark Plane to finalize the transaction.

"I've confirmed the payment. Here are the remaining items."

"Good! A pleasure doing business with you."

After completing the formalities, before leaving, they offered another invitation to Nash.

"I'm sorry, I'm not joining any organization or group for now."

"That's a pity. If you ever change your mind, feel free to contact anyone from the Verdant Group for an introduction. We'd be happy to discuss any needs you might have."

Despite knowing Nash's stance, they weren't too discouraged by his rejection.

Packing up their things, they prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, Noir. See you again sometime…" Leslie waved.

"Hmm, I'm sure we'll meet again." With over half a year left on his contract with the Verdant Group, Nash was confident their paths would still cross.

Once everyone had left, Nash paid millions of merits to materialize the bloodsucking spear and Blood Snake Egg, enabling him to bring them into reality.

Back to reality, exhaustion finally swept over him, as he collapsed onto the bed to sleep.

Although he could use a dark potion, after such a busy day, he wanted his mind to rest.

---

The next day, Nash woke up feeling refreshed.

"It's a good day."

Rising, he went through his daily chores: training, washing up, and eating.

With his routine complete, Nash headed to the virtual pod.

"I don't have to go to the Dark Plane today…" he thought, slightly dazed.

Used to his daily schedule, the change felt strange at first.

Thinking of the fortune he earned yesterday, Nash decided it was time to focus on training.

"Let's buy the void and soul manuals first…"

Logging into the Virtual World, Nash went straight to the Spirit Pavilion.

Tapping the list of astral arts and soul manuals, he quickly found what he needed.

[God Fiend Astral Art: 450 million NC]

[Nine Glazed Soul Tempering Manual (Tier 1): 900 million NC]

With 12 billion nova credits, he no longer needed to rely on merits to make purchases.

Buying the two manuals for his body and soul, he quickly scanned them, saving all the information to the [Memory Module System].

After reading the manuals, Nash felt astonished.

"These are indeed top-tier manuals. Their methods are brilliant."

To reach 1000% Void Saturation, the techniques in the God Fiend Astral Art were ingenious.

From simple to complex, even a glimpse was enough to amaze him.

The Nine Glazed Soul Tempering Manual was even more remarkable.

Compared to a basic absorption manual, one was like sipping through a straw while the other was pumping with a generator.

Each time his soul reached 100% saturation, his soul's absorption efficiency, endurance, resilience, and power would double.

After nine temperings at 1000% soul saturation, his soul could be 512 times more powerful and efficient!
