I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 360
Chapter 360: Autonomous War Weapon
Arriving at Nash’s residence, the others quickly learned the news about the Virtual Ball.
“I didn’t expect that, besides the buff, there would really be a special reward!”
“I wonder what the reward will be after we enter the top hundred, top ten, or even top one? Wouldn’t we be invincible?”
“Haha, invincible? Wouldn’t that mean the top ten or top one are already invincible?”
“Don’t let yourself down. Although the reward given by the Void Administrator is great, it won’t immediately change the team’s dynamics,” Nash said, seeing them starting to spiral.
Instead of thinking about the future, Nash quickly had them give him a piece of their blood, void essence, and spirit essence.
Inputting it into the Virtual Ball, along with the data he had about their combat skills, a list of new enemies appeared.
[Enemy List:
Nash: Void Venerate – Rating: 67
Skylar: Void Venerate – Rating: 32
Camilla: Void Venerate – Rating: 25
Natasha: Void Venerate – Rating: 20
Hobis: Void Venerate – Rating: 15
Lanster: Void Venerate – Rating: 3
Zypr: Void Venerate – Rating: 3
Michael: Void General – Rating: 0.9
Elijah: Void General – Rating: 0.8
Charlotte: Void General – Rating: 0.5
…]
Looking at the vast difference between their ratings, most of them were surprised.
“I only have a 32 rating? Not even half of Nash’s…” Skylar frowned.
He thought that now, having advanced to Void Venerate and condensed a partial Time Elemental Core, he would at least be catching up, but he was barely halfway there.
The others also frowned, seeing the vast difference in their strength.
Especially Natasha and Hobis, who had already condensed a complete Elemental Core.
They should at least be in the top two or three, yet they were heavily suppressed by the two newcomers.
Was the difference in their genetic abilities really that vast?
Natasha’s genetic ability only gave her enhanced shadow power, and the same could be said for Hobis.
It could be said that their genetic abilities were nothing special.
Compared to Time Speed and Semi-Immortality, it seemed they didn’t even have a genetic ability.
As for the other Void Venerates on the team, seeing that they hadn’t even reached a rating of 10, they weren’t too surprised.
They had just advanced to the Void Venerate realm. What could they expect?
Meanwhile, Nash, examining the clone the Virtual Ball had created, wore an expression of interest.
It seemed only his genetic ability was too unique for the Void Administrator to simulate.
As for Skylar’s Time-based ability and Camilla’s Immortality characteristic, they seemed basic in comparison.
“Alright, try to see if you can go in simultaneously.”
With his words, they eagerly tried to connect with the Virtual Ball.
Once inside, they were prompted to choose an opponent.
Without a second thought, they all chose Nash as an opponent.
Although they idolized him, they also treated him as their goal.
Seeing this, Nash was speechless.
“Can’t you see the difference in the ratings?” Nash muttered.
However, confirming that the Virtual Ball could indeed take in multiple individuals simultaneously, he couldn’t help but smile.
“The Void Administrator really considered the whole team. Even for the leader’s special reward, it’s something that could help everyone.”
Turning back toward them, watching his clone fight everyone with all its might before winning, Nash just shook his head with a smile.
“As expected. Your strength is still lacking to defeat me.”
The clone had all his strength, mastered elements, and a pseudo-legendary combat ability.
Even Skylar, who had given him a hard time in the past, couldn’t even get close to him now.
While Time was fast, the Earth, Stone, and Water elements he mastered were too solid for him to break through.
Coming out of the Virtual Space, after losing, they looked at Nash with more admiration.
Their leader was indeed strong. Even a clone gave them a hard time, what more in reality?
“Alright, you can fight here in your spare time. I’ll put the Virtual Ball in a dedicated training space.” Nash said, dismissing everyone.
“What about leaving, Nash? The resource point we have is about to be exhausted. Have you already finished configuring the autonomous control of the War Hammer Cannons?” William asked.
“It shouldn’t take too long. In about a week at most, I’ll be finished.”
“I see. Then we’ll start preparing for our departure…”

As the Nova Team prepared for another migration, their rank quickly sent shockwaves through other teams.
Entering the top thousand ranking, most of the top hundred teams, including the Great Five, began to pay attention.
As a new team in the Ashura Path, entering the top thousand was beyond a mere miracle or luck.
Without strength or special abilities, it was an insurmountable mountain that only a select few could climb.
Mobilizing part of their team, whether in the top thousand or the top hundred, began investigating, eager to understand what made the Nova Team so special.

A week later, after focused work, Nash had finally input all the runic commands for the War Hammer Cannon into the [Weapon Control Module].
Leaving the base, Nash eagerly tested his new toy in action.
Taking out thousands of War Hammer Cannons, Nash set their targets on all Tier 4 Dark Beasts.
Suddenly, like a war machine activating, a barrage of firepower began to rain down on the battlefield.
What had been a simple cannon transformed into a Gatling gun, pulverizing dozens of Tier 4 Dark Beasts in a second.
No need for aiming, calibration, or delays. The instant a target appeared within range, the War Hammer Cannon would pick the most efficient path and fire!
“Amazing! This firepower is too strong!”
Like a grinding machine, the efficiency of each war weapon skyrocketed by at least a hundred times.
Nash estimated that as long as these War Hammer Cannons were standing, they wouldn’t need to worry about any Dark Beasts.
Unfortunately, as time passed, he noticed a few shortcomings.
The first was its energy consumption.
Although Nash had already calibrated it to fire with the minimum power needed, at the rate it was firing, the energy consumption increased instead of decreasing.
The second was wear and tear. This war weapon had been created as a cannon, not a Gatling gun. Such a rate of fire was too rapid that it began to damage its components with each attack.
“Huh~ It seems I need to modify this beast after all.”
