I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 351
Chapter 351: Counting Harvest
As soon as he was sent out of the secret realm, Nash quickly controlled his body to hide.
Fortunately, a little further from the site, no one had noticed he was one of those who came out last in the trial.
“Lucky…”
Not bothering to stay and look at the commotion, Nash quickly headed to their base.
His body was still exhausted from earlier, having used the [Overlimit Module System] and the Soul Celestial Beast.
If not for the [Control Module System] forcing every bit of his nerves and muscles to move, Nash wouldn’t even be able to move around.
Soon, following the secret path they had prepared, Nash took out a spiral behemoth to ride.
If he relied only on his feet, based on his current state, he might not even reach their base in a few months.
—
A day later, after an arduous journey, Nash finally reached their base.
Meanwhile, seeing a lone spiral behemoth coming toward the base, the members of the Nova Team quickly noticed his arrival.
“Leader! You’ve arrived!”
“It seems Leader’s harvest wasn’t bad!”
“It’s alright…” Nash muttered, putting on a strong front.
If these people noticed his current weakness, it might cause some panic.
Navigating around them, Nash soon returned to his residence.
—
“Nash! You’ve returned—No! What happened to you?!” Camilla asked in shock.
Hearing that Nash had finally returned, she happily rushed to their residence.
However, instead of hearing good news, she quickly noticed Nash’s weakened state.
“It’s nothing, I just overused my abilities.”
“Really?! Let me see!”
Not fully believing Nash, Camilla meticulously checked every inch of his body.
Seeing no external or internal injuries, nor any influence from elements or other forces, Camilla breathed a sigh of relief.
She was already familiar with Nash’s current state. A few months ago, after carelessly overusing his abilities, she remembered Nash being in the same state.
Although much more severe than last time, Nash shouldn’t be in imminent danger.
Still, looking at Nash, who was still smiling, Camilla grew furious.
“You! Why can’t you be careful?! Didn’t we agree that if there was danger, we would back out? Yet you still forced your way through?!”
Even she, facing an opponent she couldn’t defeat, didn’t insist anymore and just surrendered.
Although she could exhaust her enemy with her genetic ability, there was still the unpredictable chance that it might not work.
Yet, as the one who told her to be careful, Nash didn’t seem to heed anything he’d said.
“No, you misunderstood. My last enemy was too powerful, and I wasn’t able to surrender,” Nash explained.
Facing Kaius, who had gone all out from the start, his first thought was to surrender.
Unfortunately, by the time he decided, it was already too late.
“Is that so? That’s good…” Hearing his explanation, Camilla also calmed down.
—
Soon, after Camilla, Natasha, Hobis, and Skylar came to meet him one after another.
Noticing his injuries at first sight, they quickly grew worried.
Fortunately, after another explanation, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Nash’s importance to the Nova Team was without a doubt; without him, they would be half crippled.
“Enough of that. Tell me what you earned in the Secret Realm.” Nash quickly changed the topic.
“Haha, we’re lucky. In the Trial of Void, we managed to get 10 top elemental crystals related to our elements,” Camilla laughed.
“Just ten?” Nash asked in puzzlement, remembering that he earned a hundred per element.
“It’s only 10. Even Skylar, because the element he was trying to master was rarer, only got 1.”
“I see. It seemed we were given a number of top elemental crystals based on their rarity.” Nash nodded in understanding.
Because the elements they mastered were rarer, the number of top elemental crystals they received was less.
“What about the Trial of Combat? What round did you get to?”
“Just 12-15… None of us managed to get past those monstrous opponents,” Natasha sighed.
Not even mastering one element, they were already lucky enough to last over ten rounds.
Especially Natasha and Hobis, although their strength was higher than Camilla and Skylar’s, they didn’t have any specialties.
Not meeting a single Void Marshal in the following rounds, they didn’t encounter any tough opponents until their defeat.
“This… it seems my luck was nothing…”
Hearing their experience, Nash was speechless.
He thought he had been lucky, not encountering any noteworthy opponents after Eishin. Now, it seemed he had the worst luck.
Just in the first round, the enemy he faced was a Void Marshal.
Furthermore, among the 24 rounds he fought, over half of them were against Void Marshals!
It seemed the Trial of Void was also a selection round, evaluating their strength to match them with the subsequent trial.
“What about you, Nash? How many rounds have you survived?” Curious to know how long Nash lasted, Skylar couldn’t help but ask.
“I—I lasted until the end of the round, which was 24 rounds in total…”
“You lasted 24 rounds?!”
“Did you win? Did you lose? What happened?”
“What about your opponent? Who was it?”
Shocked, Natasha, Hobis, and Skylar couldn’t help but ask.
“Haha, you wouldn’t believe it, but Nash won all his rounds~” Camilla muttered proudly, hearing the story earlier.
“W-won all the way?”
“I-impossible, Nash couldn’t be that strong…”
No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn’t imagine Nash winning against those monstrous Void Marshals.
They were not ordinary talents who had sublimated 1-2 elements, but dozens of them.
“Why do you think I’ve become like this? Isn’t it a badge of honor?” Nash smirked, seeing their shocked expressions.
Although his opponents were indeed monstrous, beyond imagination, Nash still won.
“You—”
Feeling disbelief, they couldn’t help but look at Nash in shock.
Is there really someone capable of defeating those monstrous Void Marshals?
Suddenly remembering those peak prodigies that dominated the past cosmic competition, Natasha and Hobis’ doubts lessened a little.
However, since Nash could defeat the same opponents, did it mean he had the same talent and potential as those peak geniuses?
Had the Nova Sector really stumbled upon a goldmine and unearthed such a talent as Nash?
