Chapter 355: Memory Module Update
A month later…

In his residence, Nash quietly condensed a complete elemental core.

“Condensing the stone elemental core was harder than I thought.”

Although it was also a common element, its specific nature caused the process to be slower.

Trying to summon and merge with the stone celestial beast, he attempted to analyze its difference from others.

“Oh? It’s a bit harder than the earth element.”

Of course, while it was harder, it didn’t have the powerful vitality and ever-expanding power of the earth.

It was also slower, rigid, and so on.

Overall, while it was better than the earth element in some ways, in terms of a comprehensive evaluation, they were equal.

Furthermore, while the earth element was also common, it was a foundational element.

Without it, it would be many times harder to master the stone element.

Soon, having enough fun with the stone celestial beast, Nash turned toward the manual he had painstakingly deduced over the past month: The Lightning Elemental Manual.

“I wonder how powerful the lightning element is?”

Lightning is made from the fundamental elements of wind and water. Although it can be mastered independently, it’s harder that way.

Uploading the manual he created to the [Training Module System], Nash turned to his origin space.

—

“Begin…”

Without another thought, Nash quickly began condensing the Lightning elemental core.

Aided by the wind and water elemental cores he had mastered, along with the lightning elemental crystal he was absorbing, the lightning elemental core was rapidly condensing.

However, even so, compared to other elements abundant in nature, the speed at which it was being condensed was as slow as a crawl.

—

Soon, hours, a day, two days, and finally, three days later, Nash finally condensed a partial lightning elemental core!

“This was too troublesome!” Nash sighed.

Usually, it would only take him a few hours at most to condense a common elemental core. He didn’t expect it would take him three days to condense a slightly rarer one.

No wonder Natasha, Hobis, and Camilla were still in seclusion.

Even with the resources they gained from the secret realm, it would still take them a long time before they could advance.

“I wonder how those talents do it. How could they master hundreds of elements in less than a hundred years?”

The age limit for a talent to participate in the cosmic competition was 100 years.

Those Void Marshals were already monstrous enough, yet there were still talents who could comprehend hundreds of elements in such a short time.

Shaking off his thoughts on the matter, Nash tried to summon the lightning elemental core.

“Come~”

Merging with his body, Nash felt electricity coursing through him.

“This strength…”

Although it was similar to the amplification provided by other celestial beasts in the initial stage, the speed and burst it had were on a completely different level.

While not ideal for long travel like the wind element due to its high consumption, in close combat, the lightning element could burst out 100-300 times the speed just at its initial stage!

Nash estimated that once it reached complete core condensation, his burst speed might reach 3,000 times!

“This could be my signature move.”

Thinking of flashing at the speed of light, then suddenly having his enemy fall into two pieces, Nash couldn’t help but smile in anticipation.

Unfortunately, looking at the way the lightning elemental core was condensing, he was doused with the coldness of reality.

Based on its speed, it might take him 4-5 months before he can fully condense it.

“No matter… To catch up to those talents, I need rarer elements!”

Fighting in the secret realm had made Nash realize something.

While it was beneficial to have multiple elements, he couldn’t afford to go without mastering one or two rare elements.

The power and versatility provided by rare elements were something a common element simply couldn’t match.

“Next, I should be able to finish optimizing the [Memory Module System] in a few days,” Nash thought, turning toward his runic space.

Although the base had turned peaceful because of the Aura Mirage concealment, he couldn’t stop on his path to strength.

—

A few days later, just as Nash had expected, he completed the calibration of the [Memory Module System].

The [Memory Module System] mainly depended on his brain.

Thus, the time it took was longer than the combined time spent optimizing the other two module systems.

Just one mistake, and his brain might fry or shift in a bad direction.

To ensure everything, Nash had studied and dissected thousands of bodies, read billions of reference materials, and simulated every possible scenario before altering the runic command structure in his brain.

Although still made of flesh and blood, when Nash activated the [Memory Module System], its structure became far more complex.

If one zoomed in further, they would find that each part was composed of smaller sections, further subdivided into even smaller parts, each made up of multiple layers.

Like a microchip carved with precise components to multiply its computing power, Nash tried to replicate that in his brain.

Along with it, the nervous system, neurons, limbic system, endocrine system, blood supply to the brain, spinal cord, and more were all modified.

Especially the neurons. To navigate his complex brain structure and transmit information more efficiently, their size was too large.

Modifying their fundamental properties, Nash shrank their size and gave them a speed boost.

With this modification, the number of neurons in his brain increased from about 100 billion to tens of trillions!

If not for their fragility, Nash might have even wanted to shrink them further.

Unfortunately, without further experiments or breakthroughs, this would be harder than condensing a super-rare element.

Closing his eyes, Nash began to feel the direct effects of the [Memory Module System].

The memories he had stored became more vivid, like upgrading from 1080p to 4 K resolution. Although the difference wasn’t huge in general, when it came to intricate details, it was on a whole different level!

Each unit of computational power also seemed more efficient.

Previously, one unit of computational power could only process a handful of pieces of information. Now, it could handle a whole cart of data.

Clearer, precise, faster, and more efficient, the transformation of the [Memory Module System] was truly outstanding!
