I Can Program My Body?

Getting out of the Virtual Pod, Nash was instantly met by two pairs of angry eyes.

"Nash! What did you do?!"

"How could you be so brutal!"

"Relax. It’s not even painful. How could it be brutal?" Nash quickly appeased them.

With perfect control over his genetic ability, he ensured they didn’t feel any pain.

"But it still made us scared." Elizabeth pouted.

Precisely because she didn’t feel any pain, she felt everything was real.

"I’m sorry. I won’t do it again, alright?" Nash took her into his arms in comfort.

Compared to Camilla, who was merely curious, Elizabeth was truly scared.

Soon, having calmed her down, Nash finally explained how he had been able to easily neutralize them.

Having mastered most of the runic programs and runic commands present in a human, Nash could easily isolate and manipulate their bodies to his will.

Furthermore, having led their bloodline transfusion, he was very familiar with the runic composition of the two.

"So that’s it! You cheated." Camilla pouted.

It was as if their creator had shut down their system. What more could they do?

"What cheating? I rightfully used my ability."

"Hmph! Without it, how could you win? You still cheated." Camilla didn’t yield.

Without Nash’s runic program, how could they lose so easily?

"Well, what I’ve been meaning to tell you is that you can’t rely too much on your genetic ability."

"You should increase your combat mastery and master all the inheritance you receive to perfection," Nash advised.

Especially Camilla, relying on her seemingly immortal physique, was more reckless than anyone.

Even if she could dodge an attack, as long as it allowed her to counterattack, she would strike.

As for Elizabeth, relying on her heaven-defying luck, she didn’t even like to fight.

As a result, the two barely had grandmaster-level combat mastery.

If they met a special expert or were isolated by a treasure, they would be no different than sitting ducks.

"Fine, we’ll train a little longer." The two reluctantly agreed.

They knew their weakness; however, with an overpowering genetic ability, it was always at the back of their minds.

Witnessing firsthand what would happen if they were stripped of it, they were eager to fill that gap.

As for the bloodline transfusion, they were not in a hurry.

This would be a long process, so they needed to proceed step by step.

"Let’s relax first and take a tour around the Sun Star Void Area."

Although he could read Julius’s regular reports, Nash remained curious about events in his territory.

"That’s a good idea!"

"I wonder what happened outside since we left."

Having been in seclusion for a few years, unable to access even the virtual world, they were full of curiosity.

"Let’s go."

Boarding the Void Pulse, a strand of Atom consciousness quickly latched onto the ship.

"Where shall we go, master?"

"To the Mother Core Ship."

"Understood, master!"

In the Core Production Hub Star System:

Arriving at the industrial production hub of the entire Neon Star Alliance, the three couldn’t help but look around in curiosity.

This place produced 90% of the technology, weapons, and daily necessities of the alliance.

Looking at the lively place, filled with industrial activity, they felt amazed.

Heading along the way, they noticed that every inch of the place seemed made for production.

Every planet, asteroid, and even the star was being used to the maximum extent.

"Who planned this industrial complex? It’s quite ingenious!"

"It’s another tier 6 scientist we recruited some time ago," Nash explained, remembering Julius’s report.

Unlike Cadence, who was somewhat lazy, this new scientist, Aykroyd, seemed to have some quirks.

After joining the Neon Star Alliance and seeing the scattered production facilities, Aykroyd felt he was looking at a pile of garbage.

Then, after obtaining a batch of permissions and agreements, Aykroyd moved every production facility to a single star cluster system.

He even categorized every facility into specific sections, ensuring the highest efficiency.

Even workers and professionals at the place had to be coded by their specific roles.

Looking at the place himself, Nash could tell that the fellow had some compulsive disorder.

Fortunately, for a scientist, it was not a downside but a perk.

Before long, they arrived at the center of the industrial star system, the mother core ship.

"This Mother Core Ship can finally produce tier 6 battleships!"

Looking at battleships coming out every few minutes, Nash couldn’t help but feel excited.

Previously, because of a fault in the mother core ship, it could barely produce tier 5 items.

After countless hours of work and sweat, this machine could finally be of use!

"Supreme Commander Nash, this humble one greets you," Aykroyd greeted upon seeing the Void Pulse.

Although small, it was the symbol of the leader of the Neon Star Alliance.

"Aykroyd, we finally meet. Forgive me; I wasn’t able to attend to you before."

Coming out of the Void Pulse, Nash greeted Aykroyd in return.

"No matter. I know you are busy."

Although he was a tier 6 scientific philosopher, he didn’t have the arrogance of one.

As long as all his conditions were met, he didn’t care if a mortal called him by his name.

"I see that the mother core ship is already up and running. Did you fix it?"

"No, I merely assisted. This Mother Core Ship was simply missing a few key components and arrays."

"Is that so? Then is it possible for it to produce tier 7 or even tier 8 items?" Nash asked eagerly.

"It’s possible. However, with our current materials and skill level, it’s impossible," Aykroyd shook his head.

Fixing the mother core ship to this extent was already his limit.

Any further, and they would need rare tier 9 materials.

Furthermore, without tier 8 or 9 professionals, going further would be impossible.

"Is that so..." Nash sighed.

It seemed it would still be a while before the mother core ship reached its real potential.

Just the materials alone were already a problem; coupled with the professionals needed to work on it, Nash was having a headache.

With those thoughts, Nash asked Aykroyd for various details of the Mother Core Ship.
