I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 414
Chapter 414: Breaking Into Top 100
As weeks passed by, their marching speed slowed to a crawl.
Not only because there were more dark beasts, but also because there were more tier 6 resource points to mine.
Giving time for the teams inside the funnel to mine, they could only stay on standby and wait.
During this time, Nash also faced multiple tier 6 dark beasts.
Fortunately, whether it was a common or mutated type, even with multiple enemies, Nash handled it with ease, letting everyone stand in awe of his power.
If not for the lack of powerhouses at the same level, they might even think that the Star Alliance was one of the great teams.
However, amid all these common and mutated types of dark beasts, Nash also encountered a guardian-type dark beast.
Instead of lord-level, after mutated-type came guardian, sentinel, and arch-type dark beasts.
Their power was also beyond doubt.
Facing a guardian-type tier 6 dark beast, Nash had to merge with over 150 celestial beasts to merely scratch it.
Fortunately, with his newfound combat mastery and the assistance of the [Combat Module System], letting him fight perfectly throughout, Nash managed to defeat it.
The loot it gave him was also a perfect match.
[Emerald Shell Armor: Dropped by a Guardian Emerald Crab. Has balanced defense against the power of elements.]
Wearing it on his body, it quickly took his shape, encasing him in a dark emerald shell.
Wearing the armor, Nash felt he could stand still, and those Void Venerates couldn’t give him any damage.
This was still when it was inactive. Once he was able to control its power, Nash might even challenge a Void Marshal with his bare body.
However, while admiring the loot dropped by a guardian-type dark beast, Nash started to fear the level above it.
Especially the arch-type dark beasts. According to the records, their control of the elements was almost perfect.
Coupled with their intelligence, they were an unbeatable force at their current level.
Nash estimated that even with his full power and the [Overlimit Module System], he wouldn’t be able to defeat it.
Fortunately, they usually stayed at the very center of the core vein, being the final boss they had to conquer.
—
Soon, amid his worry and trepidation, a month had passed since they entered the range of the core vein.
“Finally, it’s time to distribute the resource points!”
According to the protocol of the Solaris Alliance, every month, they would distribute the Tier 6 resources that everyone had mined, in proportion to each team’s share.
Looking forward to whether it was enough to upgrade Tsuka to another level, Nash began to wait in anticipation.
“Greetings, Commander Nash, this is the Star Alliance’s share of tier 6 resources. Please check.” One of the envoys from the Solaris Alliance arrived, giving him a storage of resources.
Each resource point found was recorded in real-time in the shelter team panel.
Calculating their share and yield of each resource point, one could estimate how many resources they would be given.
Checking the mountains of resources in the storage container, Nash nodded in confirmation.
“It’s fine.”
“In that case, I’ll come back again in a month.”
Bowing, the envoy quickly left in a flash.
Heading toward the head of Tsuka, Nash quickly presented it with a mountain pile of tier 6 resources.
The yield of a tier 6 resource point was not as much as that of even a tier 4 resource point.
With Tsuka’s speed, he should be able to digest all the tier 6 resources given to him in a few hours.
“Here, see if you can reach a higher level!”
“Thanks, Master~.”
Replying in delight, Tsuka grabbed the resources with its trunk.
Opening Tsuka’s panel, he watched his progress in real-time.
[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: 28%]
During this time, Tsuka continued to ingest resources he borrowed from the Aqua Team.
However, even then, Tsuka barely reached about 30%.
It wasn’t that Tsuka’s digestion speed was slow. In fact, it was even faster than the rest.
However, as its quality was higher, the resources it needed to consume were staggering.
Without tier 6 resource points, Tsuka might not even reach 99% progression by the end of the competition.
Soon, as Tsuka finished digesting the mountain pile of resources, its progress quickly jumped to 38%.
“More! It seems there’s some hope!”
Taking mountain after mountain of resources, he watched as Tsuka’s progress continued to increase.
Unfortunately, as it reached 50%, each mountain of resources only increased its progress by 5%.
Then, by 70%, it could only increase by 3%.
Sending the last mountain of resources to Tsuka, a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
“It seems it’s still a mountain away from advancement…”
[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: 79%]
He thought the resources he had were enough. It seemed that the higher Tsuka’s progress, the more resources he would need to advance.
At such a speed, Nash estimated that even their next month’s share of resources wouldn’t be enough.
“This will be a challenge…”
Looking further, he saw various mysterious beasts lighting up as they advanced to the next level.
From all five teams to the shelter leader of the Liberty Coalition Alliance, Silver Dawn team, they advanced to level 6 one after another.
With the spear, decoy, and the left shield increasing in power, their marching speed would surely increase.
This meant the danger and pressure they faced would suddenly double, leading to their collapse.
“Is this the trap that you set for me, Eldora?” Nash guessed.
Unable to advance, Nash had to hold the Star Alliance for another month or two and stay alive.
Fortunately, while Tsuka wasn’t able to advance, their Ashura ranking officially broke through the top hundred.
[Rank 89 Nova Sector: Level 5 Shelter
Progress: 79%]
