I’ve got something to take care of,\" Nash reminded them as they were about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t go? What are you doing, boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you leaving us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO! You don’t want us anymore, boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about our bonding? What about our camaraderie? What about—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, what are you talking about? I just have something to do. We’ll meet again the day after.\" Nash shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a date?\" William guessed, thinking back to all the times Nash had taken breaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s something else. I have to take care of some people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for his appointment with the kids and Michael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he planned to send them to the Dark Plane, he couldn’t join tomorrow’s hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, hearing that Nash wasn’t abandoning them, smiled returned to their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we’ll focus on training and aim for higher saturation!\" they decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hunting with Nash for three weeks, most of them had already accumulated at least 100 thousand merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good. Once your strength improves, we can move on to more dangerous places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could all reach the level of 4-star Void Warriors, heading to the Willow Primeval Forest would no longer be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it’s a promise, boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Motivated to grow stronger, they clenched their fists, ready to invest all their merits into boosting their void saturation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a few more words, the team disbanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the real world, Nash went back to handle the official documents as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month after various sanctions from the Earth Horizon Alliance, the Eastdam State had gone from one of the wealthiest regions to a desolate one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most wealthy families and organizations had already relocated their businesses to other states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tariffs, taxes, and even transportation had become too inconvenient to do any business in the Eastdam State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even most middle-class families, sensing something was about to happen, had begun relocating one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that aside from the poor people, there was almost no one left in Eastdam State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most shops, malls, transport, entertainment, and restaurants had shut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, as long as Nash could feed the poor, he didn’t care about the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if all the rich and middle class left, over 90% of the population still remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, despite the growing desolation, managing the state had actually become easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With hundreds of thousands of void crystals and trillions of arls, even under the weight of sanctions, he could still continuously supply food to the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, his plan to rebuild the Eastdam State was already in motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every city, thousands of greenhouses were being built to grow crops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash also bought advanced machinery from other states to speed up the construction process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the various sanctions, Nash would have even hired Void Warriors to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for using the land for planting, it had been rendered unusable after being specially treated by the Arleanians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without revitalizing the soil, not even grass could grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arleanians had treated the people like cattle, stripping away their most basic needs. Without food, they had no choice but to follow them just to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the underground water and lakes were still usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to poison themselves, aside from the major pipelines used for distribution, the Arleanians had left the natural water untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, no matter how rich or powerful Nash was, Earth would have been doomed without external help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an hour of dealing with documents, Nash took a quick shower and collapsed into bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Nash woke up and began his 2 hours of daily exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the rapid growth of his strength, he could easily destroy things if he wasn’t careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after weeks of regular training, he had regained complete control over his body just like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing his routine, Nash headed to the Training Facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Chancellor Nash. You finally came to see us.\" Michael smiled as he greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash had been so busy that they barely seen a glimpse of his shadow over the past few weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just didn’t want to interrupt. Looks like the month of training paid off,\" Nash said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael now stood with the confidence of a warrior fresh from battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 36 students weren’t bad either. Their eyes burned with determination and fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, their void saturation rates had reached at least 30%, meeting the goal Nash had set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specially, Leo, with his top talent and hard work, had reached 40% saturation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their progress was even faster than Nash’s when he first began earning merits in the Dark Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, back then, he didn’t have many resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his unbearable lack of talent, what took others one step would take him ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the merits, even with void training potions and countless void crystals, he might have only reached 50% saturation now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after checking each of them, Nash couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you become a 3-star Void Warrior?\" Nash turned to Michael and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Chancellor. I became a 3-star Void Warrior over a week ago. Unfortunately, I still can’t pass the qualification test for 4-star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. Keep aiming for a higher rank. Maybe you can even compete in the Domain-Level Cosmic Competition,\" Nash praised and encouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Sector-Level Cosmic Competition, which had an age limit of 30, one could participate in the Domain-Level competition until the age of 100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Michael’s eyes lit up with intense fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t disappoint the Chancellor’s hopes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Are you ready for your next challenge?\" Nash asked, sweeping his gaze across the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are ready!\" they shouted in unison, like soldiers preparing for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then step into the Virtual Pods and log into the Dark Plane. Once you’re inside, check which shelter you’re in and report back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time someone enters the Dark Plane, they would spawn in a random location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, logging in from the same coordinates usually meant they wouldn’t be too far apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And given their current weak strength, they would only be sent to 1–3-star beginner shelters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few hundred merits, Nash could travel to their shelters and gather them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his instructions, Michael and the kids immediately dove into the Virtual Pods.\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","840a78940c8bc1a86bdd78f0856b7484c51a319b6bd502a6fc37b990679c1b6a","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-322","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-321",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
