I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Scarcity and Strategy
Scanning through the whole document, Nash roughly understood how many Soul Relieving Potions he needed to saturate the market.

It seemed the current production of the industrial potion-making machine, 35 billion bottles of potion a year, was still far from sufficient.

According to his calculation, he would need at least trillions of yearly production capacity to satisfy everyone.

With trillions of talents from the cosmic competition and other forces, this was already the bare minimum.

“It seems what we make is barely enough.”

“This is just perfect, President Nash. Without scarcity, we couldn’t negotiate the price.” Julius smiled.

“Indeed. How do you plan to use this?”

Nash wanted to mass-produce the Soul Relieving Potion, not for money but to gather more investment.

Unable to increase production speed, he wondered how Julius could use it to his advantage.

“Don’t worry, President. I already have a plan in mind.” Julius smirked.

With inequality comes envy.

Starting with the Star Alliance, Julius planned to spread the effects of the potion, attracting everyone’s attention.

Once he whetted everyone’s appetite, it was time to negotiate the price.

“Then I’ll leave it to you. If you need any help, just call me. You can also go to the Aqua Sector.”

“I got it, President.”

Talking through more details with Julius, the two disbanded and went to their own duties.

Coming back to his training quarters, Nash continued condensing his soul.

Meanwhile, as his consciousness rested from using the Soul Enlightenment State, he tried to upload more knowledge from the Covenant Library.

“Once I’ve rested, it’s time to optimize the Runic Engraving Module.” Nash thought.

Before, Nash planned to have everyone manually engrave their own runic programs and commands without having to work himself.

The first step of this plan was already achieved after he optimized the [Runic Analysis Module System].

Now, the next thing to do was to optimize the [Runic Engraving Module System], then combine the two.

Coupled with paid usage fees for the Universal Module System.

Much less connecting billions of people, Nash could connect trillions without a problem.

Eager about the future, Nash continued grinding.

Meanwhile, having gotten Nash’s permission, Julius began to work his magic.

Using members of the Star Alliance as live propaganda, Julius gave each team’s top talents a high-quality Soul Relieving Potion and three low-grade Soul Transformation Potions.

Though puzzled by the generosity, everyone eagerly accepted the free potions and used them without a thought.

This was the Soul Relieving Potion, a rare potion that most didn’t even know existed.

Curious how effective it was, they took it without hesitation, coupled with the Soul Transformation Potion.

Instantly, before they could even circulate their training manual, their souls automatically transformed, becoming closer to the elements.

The previously laborious and mind-numbing process suddenly became enjoyable.

Usually, even if they took the potion, their absorption efficiency was less than 30 percent.

Yet, just with a circulation of their soul, the efficiency reached 50%.

Coupled with their training manual, the efficiency reached a terrifying 70%.

Those talented individuals even reached as high as 90% efficiency.

As a result, just a few hours later, the Soul Transformation Potion that had taken them days to absorb quickly lost its effect.

Taking another potion, they eagerly absorbed all of its power, transforming their souls like fanatics.

Unfortunately, while the Soul Relieving Potion was still in effect, they had already absorbed all three Soul Transformation Potions given to them.

“What a waste!”

Given their absorption speed, they should have been able to absorb one or two more.

Unfortunately, not having any Soul Transformation Potion in stock, they could only consolidate their advancement.

—

Soon, after ten hours, after all the effects of the Soul Relieving Potion wore off, they opened their eyes in excitement.

Exiting their training quarters, each leader couldn’t help but look at the others.

“It seems everyone benefited from the potion.”

“Haha, this feeling of progress is overwhelming.”

In these short ten hours, with a minimum efficiency of 70%, their progress increased by 21%.

Being already at over 100% soul transformation rate, such progress was dazzling.

“With this Soul Relieving Potion, we could reach 1,000% soul transformation rate in three to four months!”

Examining the resistance and effects of the Soul Relieving Potion on their bodies, they felt they could use it every three days.

Absorbing 3-5 Soul Transformation Potions every three days, reaching 1,000% in three months wasn’t impossible!

“Awesome! As expected of a rare potion, it has such an amazing effect.”

“I wonder, where did Commander get such a potion? I heard such potions were only exported from other domain territories.”

“Such a rare potion? Even if Commander could buy it, how could he buy so many?”

Their numbers weren’t just a few dozen or hundreds.

With dozens of representatives from each team, they were in the thousands.

“That’s right, unless Commander could create such a potion, he couldn’t possibly give everyone one.”

“Create? How is that possible? Commander is only a Tier 1 Scientific Scholar, not even a Potion Maker—”

Suddenly, taking a pause, a jolt flashed through their minds.

Indeed, if Nash were an ordinary individual, then creating such a potion would be impossible.

However, remembering the miracles he performed in the uncharted zone, turning impossible situations into opportunities, they weren’t so sure anymore.

Turning to the culprit that gave them the Soul Relieving Potion, they saw Julius looking at them with interest.

“Say, did Commander create this Soul Relieving Potion?”

“No.”

“No?”

“To be more precise, the potion formula was deduced by Commander Nash, while the potion was produced by an industrial machine.”

“This—”

Initially, they were a little disappointed, hearing it wasn’t created by Nash.

However, hearing Julius’s following words, they felt bombs explode in their minds.

Not only did Nash deduce an alternative recipe for the potion, but he also made an industrial machine on top of that!

Furthermore, thinking of the quality of the potion, they felt they were dreaming.

This rare, high-quality Soul Relieving Potion was a mere byproduct of an industrial machine? Who would even believe such a thing was possible?

One had to know that even a top potion-maker couldn’t guarantee making a high-quality potion by hand.

Yet Nash, their commander, did it so easily with a mere machine!
