I guess after building some facilities, the shelter will level up to 1,\" Nash said, quickly editing the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explore the ruins of Starfire Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: None]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the shelter levelled up to 1, Nash would receive his first buff: soul enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his soul enhanced, his calculation power would skyrocket, increasing the range of the communication port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand kilometers was far too short; a little farther, and they might go out of range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after receiving the mission, all 355 seeded talents began to regroup, each picking a direction to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a barrier enclosed the ruins, protecting them from outside dangers, it didn’t remove the dark beasts inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a quick sweep of their eyes, they spotted various tier 1 to tier 3 dark beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading his squad, Nash and the other 13 began their killing spree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was a tier 1 or tier 3 dark beast, having trained in the Dark Beast Tower, they were all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These dark beasts reward more merits!\" Nash exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the same tier of dark beast, the merits they earned were at least double what they had gotten before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it because we’re in an unregulated zone, or did the shelter before turn the merit distribution ratio to 50%?\" Nash muttered in puzzlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Captain. I heard unregulated zones give 1.5 times more merits than regulated ones,\" Van Gage answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so there’s still a 25% cut?\" Nash grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was working his ass off, gambling with life and death, yet they dared cut his merits by a quarter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You couldn’t say that boss. They still need to build the shelter,\" William replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. Plus, there are probably places that need maintenance,\" another added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, I know. I’m just complaining...\" Nash sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was grumbling, he understood why the toll existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t running a charity. In exchange for the shelter they built and the hunting grounds they conquered, some payment was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like himself, Nash had currently set all merit allocations to the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needing merits to build infrastructure and protective facilities, he had no choice but to claim them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the seeded talents didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming from top families and organizations, they didn’t lack these few merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was provided that Nash didn’t misuse the funds and used everything to build the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, no matter how generous they were, how could they let others take the merits they earned with their sweat and blood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued exploring the ruins, Nash and his group discovered a resource point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a red-granite mine?

I didn’t expect I’d be entertained just by chatting with others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contrast of desolation and the liveliness of their chat brought a charm they couldn’t help but enjoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, focus. We have a guest,\" Nash alerted the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the [Sensing Module System] always active, he quickly spotted the first tier 4 dark beast nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Giant Centipede: Tier 4 (Mutated)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat Power: 170 million]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? A tier 4 dark beast? Finally, a challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you handle it?\" Nash asked, not taking the tier 4 dark beast too seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got this, Captain. No need to step in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then be careful...\" Nash nodded, letting them proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the tier 4 runic armor and weapons they had, such a dark beast was just a warm-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, with the teamwork of the twelve, they began to overwhelm the dark beast, like high-level players ganging up on a boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you join them?\" Nash asked with interest, seeing Camilla standing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s too boring. This thing wouldn’t even make me sweat,\" Camilla said, bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that’s natural. We’re in the safest part of this danger zone. At most, we’ll encounter a tier 5 mutated dark beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about a lord-level dark beast? That should be some challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t jinx it. Lord-level dark beasts aren’t something to joke about. Besides, the shelter barrier should’ve expelled every lord-level dark beast in the area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord-level dark beasts could be found among tier 4 and higher rank dark beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such dark beasts usually had combat power starting in the billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, as lord-level dark beasts, they commanded armies of dark beasts that could wipe out a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their small numbers, if they encountered a lord-level dark beast, their only choice would be to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just joking~ How could I dare face a lord-level dark beast?\" Camilla rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her limits. Facing a tide of dark beasts, even with her regeneration, she’d be torn apart eventually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with their tier 4 runic armor, once their energy ran out, they were done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two bantered, the twelve had already finished off the Giant Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Giant Centipede Killed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>+150 million merits.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really profitable to kill higher-tier dark beasts,\" Nash said with a smile, checking the notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one dark beast had earned them more than all the previous ones they’d killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, once we kill a tier 5 dark beast, that’s when we’ll rack up points!\" Camilla said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard a mutated tier 5 dark beast gave at least a billion merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining such a huge haul from a single fight, Camilla couldn’t help but light up with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get too excited. Let’s see what loot this monster dropped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were in an unregulated zone, the loot drop rate was higher than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the tier 1 to tier 3 dark beasts they had killed earlier, besides some materials, they even got a perfect-quality weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping this Giant Centipede would yield a high-level treasure, Nash felt a spark of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.165Z",1,"novelbin.me","7bba63ade6299350bfc03be8974762b54275a5cf7178ca13bf26a4596e78e946","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-236","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-234",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
