I Can Program My Body?

"For the final stage of our auction, we present our first item: an Earth Grade Genetic Potion! The starting price is 100 billion!"

"It's a genetic potion!"

Seeing the item, Nash was quite tempted. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money.

Genetic Potion is divided into Earth, Planetary, and Star Level.

Each one could only be taken at Tier 1 Void Warrior, Tier 3 Void General, and Tier 6 War Emperor.

Nash wanted the potion not to awaken his genetic ability or something, but simply to increase the limit of his physique.

As a first-generation human, no matter how much tempering the void energy had in his body, it could only go as far as 10 times stronger.

Having already reached 7 times, he was nearing his limit.

Wanting to become stronger, Nash eagerly wanted a genetic potion.

Nash heard that after one evolved into a second-generation human, their physique could grow to about 100 times stronger.

With such enhancement, even if he didn't awaken a genetic ability, it's worth it.

As he was deliberating whether to borrow money from William to buy the potion, the guests had already gone frantic seeing the potion for sale.

"As expected of the Thousand Treasures Auction House, they always have rare resources here!"

"Haha, it's mine! With this Earth Genetic Potion, maybe my son could awaken his genetic ability!"

"How could such a precious resource fall into your hands, it's mine!"

Even some top organizations lack a steady supply of genetic potions, much less those low and mid-level organizations.

Seeing such a rare resource for sale in public, they began to bid fiercely, driving the price to 450 billion nova credits.

Soon, as more and more genetic potions were auctioned one after another, Nash no longer reacted.

He thought he was rich with over ten billion nova credits in his account, but reality quickly humbled him.

This auction really opened his eyes to the world, making him realize he still had much work to do.

Noticing Nash's dejected mood, William began to comfort him.

"Don't worry, boss. Once you win the top 100 in the Cosmic Competition and enter the Seeded Talent Program of the Nova Sector, you'll get a genetic potion for free."

"I see. It seems there are many benefits to winning the Cosmic Competition."

From all the information he'd gathered, the Cosmic Competition appeared to be the most revered event in the universe.

Every being, high or low, yielded to its importance, regardless of status.

"Do you know the significance of the Cosmic Competition?" Nash asked William.

Coming from a prominent family, William should know some details that were not publicly available.

"I don't know much, boss. But from what I've heard, the Cosmic Competition is divided into three stages."

"The Sector-Level Cosmic Competition, which takes place a week from now. The Domain-Level Cosmic Competition, where talents from all sectors compete, which is three years away."

"Finally, the Galactic-Level Cosmic Competition, where all talents from the Chronos Empire compete, would take place eight years in the future."

"As for its purpose, why the talents from across the universe are competing, I'm not sure. My father never told me," William explained, equally puzzled by the reason for the Cosmic Competition.

Although the Cosmic Competition was used to select the most talented individuals in the universe and facilitate resource distribution, these were merely its byproducts.

As for what happened to the winners of the Galactic-Level Cosmic Competition or what they were doing now, it remained a mystery.

"It seems the waters of this Cosmic Competition run deeper than I thought," Nash sighed.

Even William, a direct descendant of a prominent family, knew nothing. Just what kind of conspiracy was hidden within this competition?

Unfortunately, as a small fish, Nash had no right to know how deep the ocean was.

Unable to do anything, he could only watch as the auction continued, selling items worth hundreds of billions to trillions of nova credits.

From maps of ruins and planetary systems to mining resource zones, unique treasures, and more, each was more expensive than the other.

Numb to such dazzling amounts of money, Nash could only watch in a daze.

Fortunately, soon after a vast territorial planetary system was sold, the auction was concluded.

"Thank you for attending our Thousand Treasures Auction! Please allow us to invite you to a banquet we prepared as a token of our appreciation," the host announced.

As she delivered her closing remarks, most of the audience began to leave.

Rising from his seat, Nash also planned to return to reality.

"Aren't you attending the follow-up banquet, boss? You could meet a lot of people," William suggested.

"No, I'm not used to such lively events. I still have a lot to do," Nash replied.

He needed to arrange for the items he'd bought to be delivered in the dark plane.

Since all the items he purchased were materialized from the dark plane, they didn't need to be delivered in reality.

"In that case, I'll see you in a week, boss. You must crush everyone in the competition!" William cheered.

Selected in advance, William no longer needed to participate in the Sector-Level Competition.

Anyway, the Galactic-Level was the most important and only truly significant Cosmic Competition.

The Sector and Domain Levels were merely to identify the most talented individuals more fairly and distribute resources based on the results.

Saying goodbye to William, Nash went to the backstage to arrange the delivery of his items in the dark plane.

At the end of the auction, he only bought three items: a perfect spear, a perfect bow, and a set of protective accessories.

Spending over 150 million nova credits, his account didn't decrease but instead increased.

By selling the bloodsnake egg for 2.4 billion, he had earned about 2.3 billion nova credits.

"It seems my haul from this auction wasn't bad," Nash mused.

Not only had he gained insight into the world and learned valuable information, but he also made money along the way.

After providing his details and the delivery location, Nash returned to the real world.
