Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming close to the barrier, they were suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the barrier stand solid without even a ripple from thousands upon thousands of dark beasts, the crowd grew more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of dark beasts increased from thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions, they finally couldn’t hold back their excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing! This barrier is incredibly strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this, we can conquer anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Commander is truly great.

Energy he needed to further his void capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it didn’t cost much to increase his void saturation to 1,000,000%, the same couldn’t be said for Void Fortification and Void Condensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Void Condensation phase, remembering the energy he’d spent to reach 10,000%, he felt that a quarter of their current energy wouldn’t be enough to take it to a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh... There’s nothing I can do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the energy spent, the benefits they could gain from conquering a cluster-type resource were enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only pity was that Nash couldn’t use the Aegis Core as regularly as the Aura Mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that it cost almost fifty million merits, yet he could only use it in critical situations, left Nash feeling disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, what a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping the test, Nash reminded everyone to start attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heeding his order, everyone snapped out of their daze and began razing the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a dark beast nest no longer posed them any problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobilizing all their power, it didn’t take an hour to clear all the dark beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, setting up base and mining all the resources in the ground, they quickly proceeded to the cluster-type resource point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had power, they no longer needed to waste time on those single resource points.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.166Z",1,"novelbin.me","693d6a0039a054e8437ccda241438ad9b1647bc885ec11310002ba76d11e7851","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-382","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-380",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
