Hold on, let me check...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh from a battle, Amir was slightly unfamiliar with the procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, using his authority, he accessed the list of planetary weapons and battleships Nash could purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose from here. Let me know what you decide,\" Amir said, then wandered off to admire various weapons and battleships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Amir, these blocks of metal were far more captivating than Nash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was ignored, Nash gave a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s definitely a government-run business...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrogance, the lack of service, the hands-off attitude—what else could he expect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Browsing the planetary weapons, Nash quickly made his choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He selected the Black Titan Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a formation of asteroid-sized railguns suspended in space, capable of firing energy blasts that could annihilate Rank 5 Void Marshals, Tier 5 ships, and defend against a Level Five Dark Beast Outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a planetary weapon array, even a Rank 6 War Emperor would have to tread carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was the cost: the entire set, including the weapons and their ammunition, was 1 trillion nova credits per package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a day had passed, and Nash was already on the verge of spending over 3 trillion nova credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought his 5 trillion budget was more than enough, but it now seemed like a drop in the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the Black Titan Array’s defensive capabilities tempted him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a defense, he wouldn’t even need military battleships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they stayed within the solar system’s range, who in the Nova Sector could threaten them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backed by the Nova Government’s official identity, the high-standing families and organizations couldn’t touch them in the open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only potential threat to a planet or civilization under the Nova Government’s protection was pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space pirates strong enough to breach such a defensive array wouldn’t bother robbing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, weaker pirates, on the other hand, would be too feeble to pose any danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Convinced it was the perfect planetary defense, Nash purchased the array, steeling himself for the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you bought the Black Titan Array? Not bad, not bad, you’ve got taste,\" Amir said, returning after receiving the notification of Nash’s purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nash had bought the Black Titan Array, he couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapon was too luxurious for weak planetary civilizations to afford, yet slightly underwhelming for top-tier ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to strike that balance, it had remained unsold until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such a treasure finally find a home, Amir grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a discount?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Discount? No, I don’t have that authority. But I can throw in two extra sets of ammunition for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One set of ammunition allowed the Black Titan Array to fire nonstop for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two additional sets, it could last three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Earth faced a Dark Beast Outbreak, they could hold out for reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at the freebie, Nash browsed for transportation, civilian, and mining battleships to be used within the solar system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they didn’t need to travel far or have strong defenses, he bought thousands of different Tier 1 ships, costing 100 billion nova credits in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To represent Earth’s image or for long voyages, Nash also purchased a battleship fleet for 300 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 1.4 trillion left in his account, Nash bought a personal Tier 5 battleship for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Costing 500 billion nova credits, it had Tier 5 defensive and attack capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a worst-case scenario, it also included a void-warping escape pod that could teleport him several light-years away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, even if he faced a War God, Nash could escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for getting back, in the face of such a disaster, it was the least of his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent 1.9 trillion nova credits, Nash felt a pang of heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I really need to invest this much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five trillion nova credits were supposed to be enough for him to reach the Void General rank, yet they were nearly gone in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, thinking of the potential returns, Nash gritted his teeth and pressed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they say, the greatest business investment isn’t in products but in people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Products lose value over time, but people grow stronger as time passes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his people could earn a thousand nova credits annually, his investment would pay off in a few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, a large population meant high expenses, but it also promised substantial profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In time, Earth could become a golden phoenix, solving all his financial troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad brat, it seemed cosmic elite these days are quite rich.\" Amir muttered in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t have a share or commission from the transaction, arming a planetary civilization with such weapons and battleships meant that a part of Nova Sector would be secure from a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the money earned from the transaction could also be made into another batch of weapons, forming a continuous cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all for the betterment of people...\" Nash smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! Haha, don’t worry I’ll expedite the delivery, it should arrive in your planet in a week or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading out, Nash pondered what to buy next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 900 billion nova credits left in his budget, he felt a slight itch to spend everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, books! I nearly forgot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to buy astral arts, advanced soul manuals, professional books, scientific texts, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had unrestricted access to the Nova Library’s books, it was only for personal use, not for sharing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he became a Bearer in the Spirit Pavilion, the books remained exclusive to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To bypass this restriction, he needed to purchase a buyout system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, limitations still applied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depending on the price he paid for the buyout system, he could only share or sell the books to a limited number of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, what a scam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.165Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e480ca182e7f1589dfc58d4d625a0b59b26f7df0b142f3bd7fc305f38b9ae5d","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-173","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-171",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
