I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 313
Chapter 313: Tsuka’s Evolution (2)
As the runic commands in Tsuka’s body rearranged into a new form, its size began to balloon.
From one meter tall, it grew to ten meters, then a hundred, a thousand, until it reached ten thousand meters in height.
Looking at the enormous creature that had grown from a tiny elephant into a towering giant, eclipsing everything, everyone was stunned.
“This—Is this even Tsuka anymore? Not another monster?”
As if hearing the insult, Tsuka trumpeted loudly, blowing air toward the speaker.
“Haha, looks like it’s still our little Tsuka!”
“Good job, little Tsuka, you finally grew up!”
“Haha, now it’s time for our big Tsuka to carry us around!”
Based on Tsuka’s height, length, and width, there were approximately twenty-five thousand square meters of space on its back.
Although it still couldn’t carry all of them, it gave everyone hope.
At the rate Tsuka was growing, by Level 3 or 4, it should have more than enough space for everyone to ride comfortably.
“Baby Tsuka must be hungry…”
“Tsuka, just wait a bit longer. We’ll find more food for you to grow.”
“You have to grow big and strong and take us through everything in the dark plane.”
Hearing all the praise, Tsuka trumpeted joyfully and extended its trunk toward Nash.
“Oh, you want to show me the innate ability you awakened?” Nash muttered, sensing Tsuka’s thoughts.
Being bound together, Nash could easily understand whatever Tsuka wanted to convey.
As he touched the giant trunk, a mental map projection spanning fifty thousand kilometers appeared in his mind.
“This… a Sonar Map ability?! Awesome!”
Like a gift from the heavens, Tsuka had awakened the power to detect sound and vibrations within a range five thousand times its own size!
Although the mental map was blurry and only showed vague images of the terrain and rough positions of dark beasts, it was more than enough.
By analyzing those clues, their efficiency in finding resource points could increase several times over.
Combined with the [Map Module], Nash could even create a real-time map projection!
“Haha, Tsuka really is the star of our team!” Nash laughed, patting its trunk.
Suddenly, just as they were about to celebrate, a familiar voice simultaneously echoed in their minds.

“So we’re in last place…” Nash muttered speechlessly after scrolling down to the very bottom.
He had thought they’d at least be in the top thousand; he didn’t expect they’d be at the very end.
“What last place? This is already near the top!” Natasha said with a smile.
Out of the tens of millions of sectors in the Solaris Domain, only about a hundred thousand joined each Cosmic Competition.
Among those, only a few had a history of less than ten million years. Their foundation, strength, talent pool, and wealth were things Nova Sector could only dream of achieving.
Reaching the ten-thousandth rank among over a hundred thousand teams was already an accomplishment.
“Still, who wouldn’t want to be higher ranked?” Nash sighed.
Just a little more progress, and they could reach the top ten thousand and earn an additional buff!
An additional buff! Nash felt a rush of excitement just thinking about it.
It seemed they needed to hurry and feed Tsuka a little faster.
Looking at the top thirty, which had already reached Level 2 Shelter status, Nash finally realized the vast gap between the leading teams and theirs.
Even with the full support of Nova Sector, they were still far behind.
Fortunately, with every buff, their team could evolve to a level beyond what the others could achieve.
Turning back to the Void Administrator System, a few more lines appeared that were visible only to him.
[Activating Partial System Authority]
[Activating Automatic Merit Extraction]
[Activating Automatic Loot Extraction]
[Activating System Buffs…]
“Finally! I activated automatic merit and loot extraction!” Nash thought, beaming with a smile.
Up until now, all the dark beasts they killed left nothing behind.
Now that they had a partial connection to the Void Administrator, they wouldn’t be going home empty-handed anymore.
On the System Authority panel, besides setting the merit ratio, he also gained access to project Tsuka’s status.
[Shelter Seed: Tsuka
Usable Area: 25,000 square meters
Ability: Sonar Map (Range: 50,000 km radius)
Facilities: None
Progress: 0%]
“Nice. This is way more intuitive.”
Although he could rely on the runic command formations on Tsuka’s body to estimate its progress, it wasn’t nearly as convenient as having a digital display.
Moving on, Nash saw the familiar buff list.
Without hesitation, he quickly selected the Soul Enhancement Buff.
[Soul Enhancement: Amplifies Soul Power by 10x (Level 1)]
“Hah~ finally!”
Feeling his soul surge to a new level, Nash felt his mind clearer, sharper, and faster than ever.
This was the buff that could carry them through any difficulty.
Opening his runic panel, his smile unconsciously widened.

Body Condensation: 1,000%

“Tsk… from 34.45 million, now I’ve got over 344 million in soul amplification!”
Counting the amplification from the runic space, Nash realized he now possessed over 344 billion computational power.
That was more than enough to control all the Spiral Behemoths, micromanage the entire team, and still have a lot to spare.
Thinking of all the projects he had shelved due to lack of computational power, Nash almost cried with joy.
“It seems those soul condensation potions really paid off…”
