I Can Program My Body?

Nash suddenly realized a crucial thing: the Runic Workshop couldn’t work with individuals not fully bound by the Universal Module System.

The module system used by those foreign cosmic alliances was temporary. Instead of binding to their souls, it was like an external device that they could easily disregard.

This was also the reason why the functions they could access were limited. It wasn’t that he was stingy, but because of the limitation of the temporary binding.

If he wanted those foreign cosmic teams to help with and use the Runic Workshop, he needed to think of another solution.

"What about using a peripheral tool?" Nash quickly thought.

He only needed to create a device that could let them see and trace the runic patterns. From vision to engraving, he should be able to mold an eye glass and a brush using soul crystal.

Having thought of a solution, he began to think of the reward he could use to attract them. As he turned toward his origin space overflowing with soul crystals, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

The reward scheme of the Combat Tower had been so widely popular that some foreign guests from other top cosmic team alliances had come to try it. Using soul crystals for this kind of work should be more than sufficient.

"This should work."

Having found a solution and decided on the reward, Nash quickly finished the upgrade of the Runic Workshop. Adding some finishing touches, the reward system, calibrating, then a few tests, he uploaded the new Runic Workshop to the Universal Module System.

In the command center, around the 3 newly opened darkgates:

"New update?"

On one of the battleships, Kira, a commander, quickly noticed the update. Putting down his work, he opened the Universal Module System and scrolled to look for what had been added.

"Oh? The Runic Workshop was updated?" Kira’s eyes lit up.

He still remembered the past, when he was still a fledgling cosmic elite who had nothing. As one of the pioneer users of the Runic Workshop, he earned his first pot of wealth, leveraging it to reach his current position.

"Let’s see..."

[Runic Workshop:

Runic Symbol: 0

Runic Command: 0

Runic Pattern: ∞

Scan...

Engrave...]

Different from the past, where it showed the number of runic symbols and runic commands he had engraved, this time it showed the available runic patterns he could work with.

"Runic Pattern? Infinite?" Looking down, he saw a new term. What was more shocking was that it had an infinite label.

Pressing the engrave tab, the runic interface quickly changed, showing a runic pattern. Different from runic symbols and runic commands, it looked compact, but with a more exquisite design and intricate details.

Trying his hand to see how much the reward was, he began to trace the pattern.

[Failed]

"Failed? How? It’s such a simple pattern, how could I fail?"

Fortunately, there was a rewind button, showing the part where he failed. Seeing his spirit spill a little bit, Kira became more careful.

[Failed]

"Again?" Looking at the recording, he didn’t see where he had failed. However, upon closer look, his expression became strange. "Even uneven distribution of spirit counted as a failure?"

Not wanting to fail so miserably, Kira tried again. This time, familiar with the pattern, he was confident he would succeed.

[Failed]

"What? Are you kidding me? What’s the problem this time?" Soon, after checking the recording, there was disbelief in his eyes. This time it was not spilled spirit or uneven distribution, but because he took more than 3 seconds. "Unbelievable, how are we even supposed to finish this?"

Without caring about the distribution, he could complete the pattern in less than a second blindfolded. However, with those intricate details, to engrave it in one stroke with a balanced distribution of spirit would take at least 30 seconds.

"I can do this..." Not reconciled, Kira set aside what he was doing and frantically traced the same runic pattern again and again. If he couldn’t do it the first time, then the second time, the tenth time, the hundredth time. As long as he became familiar enough, he could grind the time of engraving to less than 3 seconds.

A few hours later, Kira’s hard work came to fruition as he engraved the first runic pattern after the Runic Workshop update.

[Engraving Success...]

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

"1,000 soul crystals..."

Looking at the reward, Kira felt that all his hard work had not been in vain. His salary as a rank 4 official was only 1,000 a day. Earning the same amount in just a few hours was a windfall. Did this mean that once he became more proficient in the future, he could earn tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand soul crystals?

"What are you doing smiling foolishly, Commander Kira? The command center has been calling you for over half an hour, why aren’t you responding?"

"G-Grand General Skylar!" Kira quickly came to his senses and saluted.

"Answer me!" Skylar frowned, looking at Kira coldly. Although Kira was his friend, as a superior in the middle of a war, he couldn’t show any favoritism.

"The Runic Workshop updated, Grand Commander. I got caught up and didn’t notice the time."

"Runic Workshop?" Skylar muttered, opening the Universal Module System that he had muted. Looking at the new update, he quickly lost interest. "Just for some money, you dare to slack off on the battlefield?!"

"I’m sorry, Grand Commander. However, this is not just some money, but a mountain of wealth! Skylar, come on, see how fast you can engrave a runic pattern." Losing his serious tone, Kira began to persuade Skylar.

"You—"

"I’m showing you the path of wealth. With your genetic ability, you should be able to quickly rake in money!" Kira muttered excitedly.

Skylar’s genetic ability was the acceleration of time. Given enough energy, he could accelerate time for himself almost infinitely.

"Alright, I’ll try."

Sighing helplessly, Skylar followed Kira’s instructions and operated the runic pattern.

[Failed]

"Haha, it seems you also failed."

Not minding his words, Skylar watched the replay and tried again. After another three failures, he turned serious and activated his genetic ability.

Accelerating his time 100 times, he completed the engraving of the runic pattern in less than a second.

[Engraving Success...]

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

"Whoa! How long did that take? 10 milliseconds? 1 millisecond?! Now we are rich!"

"Just this? Why are you so excited?"

"Haha, do it one more time."

"Hmm."

[Engraving Success...]

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

Although a little slower, it still took Skylar less than 1 second to engrave another runic pattern. Then one after another, each second he changed to a new runic pattern.

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

[+1,000 Soul Crystal]

...

At this moment, Skylar realized the horror of this new update. If the infinite label on that runic pattern was true, and he could finish an engraving each second...

"It seems I really have to thank this fool..."
