I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 400
Chapter 400: Crystallite Shield
Opening Tsuka’s Panel, Nash quickly saw its new ability.
[Shelter Seed: Tsuka (Level 5)]
[Usable Area: 800 square kilometers Abilities:
Sonar Map (Range: 5 million km radius)
Gravity Manipulation (3 million times)
Healing Field (25 km)
Light Aura (100 meters)
Earth Manipulation
Crystallite Shield
Progress: 0%]
“Crystallite Shield? So it’s no longer a general use innate ability.”
From the Sonar Map, Gravity Manipulation, Healing Field, Light Aura, and Earth Manipulation, everything was useful. But Nash noticed the abilities seemed built for a shelter, not a mysterious beast.
Even though Tsuka didn’t have to fight, not having an ability of its own to deal with danger had long worried Nash.
Now, it seemed that after awakening, Tsuka’s ability had become more geared toward its protection.
Crystallite Shield. Just reading the name, he knew it would be an excellent defensive ability.
“Can you show me how strong your new innate ability is?” Nash communicated to Tsuka.
“Then try to attack me~” Tsuka said mischievously.
“Oh? Is it a passive ability?”
Coming out of his room, Nash found a random patch of ground and attacked.
Bam~
Suddenly, like hitting a steel wall, Nash felt his hand ache from the backlash.
“No way, it even has a rebound effect!”
As soon as Nash hit the ground, which was Tsuka’s body, a light crystal barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his punch and rebounding his attack.
“I told you, master. Tsuka is strong now.”
“Then let me try again.”
This time, increasing his strength, Nash launched another attack.
Thud~
Instead of Tsuka’s flesh being penetrated, it was his hands that turned back mangled.
Although not all the power of his attack was rebounded, it was enough to turn his hands into a mess.
What was more amazing was that Nash had already protected his hands and dispersed his attack the moment it connected, yet it still rebounded.
As if it had a memory of who attacked it, the rebounding energy found him back no matter what he did after.
“This ability…”
With such an ability, those who dared to attack Tsuka would suffer a heinous fate.
Imagining enemies attacking, only to die from their own strikes, Nash couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Do you want to try a little more? I’m not yet at my limit,” Tsuka asked, seeing Nash stop.
“No, it’s enough. I don’t want to be injured before our official raid.” Nash shook his head.
It seemed Tsuka’s innate ability had a causality effect.
No matter what one used to attack it, the force would return to the enemy in kind.
This time, he’d only used his physical power, yet it had already mangled his hands.
If he used void energy or the power of elements, much less his hands, his entire body might be injured.
With their raid about to happen in a week or two, he didn’t want to take that risk.
“Oh~ Then what shall Tsuka do? Do you have anything for me?”
Having just learned to talk, Tsuka had become chatty, wanting to know everything about him.
“You can play with the others. You can ask them to tell you stories, jokes, anything you’re interested in.” Nash patted its back.
Still having a lot to do, Nash couldn’t chat with Tsuka at the moment.
“Oh~ Then I’ll talk to the others, master!”
Hearing Nash’s words, Tsuka brightened.
Thinking of those little creatures that fed it, Tsuka quickly transferred its consciousness to chat with them.
“This guy…”
No longer feeling Tsuka’s consciousness in his mind, Nash finally had time to look at the improvements to Tsuka’s usable area and other innate abilities.
“The usable area around the shelter reached 800 square kilometers!”
From 300 square kilometers to 800 square kilometers, it had nearly tripled in size.
Now, even if the Nova Alliance increased to a hundred million people, Tsuka could easily carry everyone.
Turning to Tsuka’s innate abilities, Nash couldn’t help but smile.
The Sonar Map went from 3 million to 5 million kilometers. Gravity Manipulation increased from 1 million kilometers to 3 million kilometers. The Healing Field expanded from 10 kilometers to 25 kilometers. And the Light Aura went from 10 meters to 100 meters.
Perhaps the only thing that hadn’t shown any apparent improvement was the Earth Manipulation ability.
“I wonder how powerful it is now?”
Although the panel didn’t show its details, Nash knew how useful it was.
Whether for traveling, building, digging, or even mining, Tsuka’s ability to control earth was so versatile.
Now that its ability had improved again, he wondered if it could directly extract the minerals inside a resource point.
Not having the time to experiment, Nash turned his attention to another matter.
“It’s time to choose a shelter buff!”
After reaching level 5, Nash could claim another buff reward from the Void Administrator.
“Unfortunately, the Nova Shelter still hasn’t entered the top 100.” Nash sighed.
The Top Hundred Asura Ranking was like a wall that seemed impossible to cross.
It wasn’t that the Nova Team lacked resource points or mining efficiency; the top hundred teams were simply cheating.
A few months ago, as the great teams reached 99% progression of their level 5 shelters, they began selling the resource points they mined to others.
With wealth and foundations far beyond those of others, most teams in the top hundred and above quickly snapped them up with great enthusiasm.
Turning the survival competition into a pay-to-win game, no matter how efficient the Star Alliance was, they couldn’t catch up.
Furthermore, it wasn’t only the great teams but also other top alliances.
Instead of spreading their resources equally according to rank, they pooled everything to upgrade one shelter after another.
As a result, even as the Nova Shelter advanced to level 5, they only reached the top 115.
“We can only catch up during and after the raid,” Nash thought.
With higher-quality resources and the top teams busy with their own affairs, there shouldn’t be anyone selling resources to cheat.
Concentrating on the list of buffs the Void Administrator provided, Nash selected the Void Enhancement buff.
[Void Enhancement Buff: Increase Void Power by 100 times. Level 2]
Suddenly, feeling unprecedented strength flowing into his body, Nash unconsciously closed his eyes.
