You can return now,\" Nash said, leisurely picking up the loot drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White wolves were a 3-star danger monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the wolves gave him 3 merits, with the wolf leader giving him 5 merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drops weren’t bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were still raw materials, they were tier 1 mid-grade, costing tens of merit points in the Lantern Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After picking up everything, Nash returned to his spot and continued cooking his barbecue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That—can you tell me your name?\" William asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he sent the merit points, Nash’s identity was in private mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dark Plane, although one couldn’t disguise their identity, they could still set their Dark Plane panel to private mode, staying anonymous during transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nash’s face covered by a mask, William didn’t have any idea what civilization he was even from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to know more about this mysterious person, He couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s none of your concern.\" Nash shook his head, not wanting anyone to know his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m William Stanley, one of the successor of the Stanley family. Can you give me some contact info so I can repay you for saving my life?\" William still insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. You already paid me. You owe me nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... can I at least know what to call you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noir... you can call me Noir,\" Nash said after a moment, thinking of the name he used to earn his first pot of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noir. That’s good.\" Finally getting what he wanted, William sat beside him, eyeing his barbecue greedily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing? Aren’t you going back to the Lantern Shelter?\" Nash frowned, seeing that this lightbulb was still here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m hungry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, can I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop. This is my meal!\" Nash quickly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had taken him countless deer to spawn these golden meats; how could he just share it with a stranger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating meat from the loot drop of Dark Beasts was not only delicious but also helped increase his void saturation rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indulging his desires while growing stronger, Nash had even brought a complete set of seasonings on his trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay? Fine, 100 merits per stick,\" Nash said shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piece of white deer meat is only sold for a few merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each stick containing only a chunk, his price was sky-high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me 3 sticks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[William Stanley sent you 300 Merits]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you accept?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too rich,\" Nash muttered, speechless, as he accepted the merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merits weren’t like Void Crystals that could be mined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only be obtained by hunting Dark Beasts in the Dark Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying hundreds of merits without blinking, Nash could only guess that William came from a powerful family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’ve got so many merits, why not use them to strengthen yourself?\" Nash asked while preparing his share of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father didn’t allow me to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said I need to conquer a three-star danger zone before I can advance further.\" William pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having money but not being allowed to use it was the most painful thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do they worry about your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I have this treasure,\" William smiled, showing him a bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a Bracelet of Protection. Dropped from a Tier 7 Dark Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier 7 Dark Beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rank of Dark Beasts corresponded to the rank of Void Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tier 7 Dark Beast was already comparable to a Void War Saint, second only to a Void War God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such a rare drop to be given to a kid, William’s family seemed stronger than he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you had such a treasure, then why still need help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh—if it activated, I’d be punished by my father,\" William muttered in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the hellish training he’d undergone, he couldn’t help but tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Nash stopped asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the barbecue was fully cooked, and he gave William his portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a bite, William couldn’t help but close his eyes in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another bite, William felt Nash’s cooking skills were top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devouring the rest of his share, he looked at the food still in Nash’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me five more!\" William shouted, sending over another 500 merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. Here you go,\" Nash said, generously accepting the payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he only cooked a dozen sticks, passing up an opportunity like this would be a sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred merits were already worth hours of his hunting trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earning them with just a bit of barbecue was way too profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after eating all the food, William couldn’t help but burp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too delicious! You’re way better than the stubborn old chefs in our house!\" William praised without holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t flatter me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there was also a profession called a Chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming from such a noble family, the chefs in William’s house could only be professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for himself, even with the help of the [Autonomous Module System], Nash was barely a Tier 1 Chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your cooking is still the best. How about you work for me?\" William asked, thinking it was a bright idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nash’s combat skills and superb cooking, William would be set for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Nash refused flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can name your price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless you give me 100,000 merits a day, you’ll never hire me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100,000 merits?\" William backed down immediately after hearing the number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was loose with money, he still understood its value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying 10,000 merits to save his life and a few hundred for a meal was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hiring someone for 100,000 merits per day? That wasn’t happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that amount, he could already hire a Void Venerate for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Void Warrior to Void Commander, then Void General, and finally Void Venerate—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a difference in strength and rank, even if he were willing to hire Nash, his family wouldn’t agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shutting up, William began thinking of an alternative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you become my tutor? With your fighting skills, I can pay 10,000 Void Crystals per hour!\" William offered. As his tutor, Nash could still cook for him, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Void Crystals were more flexible to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he burned through millions of them, his family wouldn’t even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Praising his own wit, William looked at Nash with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","db51316d14cc4146b9d22feb22f047a2db9f1cd2b65d9e4bc07b324d84a57a66","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-66","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-64",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
