It’s fine if I can’t.\" Nash knew his limits; if he asked for anything more, Leslie might walk away in a huff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just that?\" Leslie breathed a sigh of relief, finally hearing a normal request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as your friend is a four-star warrior, he can join unconditionally. If he’s a three-star, he’ll need to pass a brief assessment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a week or so, William should be able to join him at Black Willow Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tank like him by his side, Nash would have a better guarantee of safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drafting a contract outlining all their agreements, Nash and Leslie, on behalf of the Verdant Group, signed and authenticated it with the Nova Government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only legally binding and didn’t have extraordinary powers, breaking the contract would lead him to be prosecuted by the Nova Government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the deal done, Nash returned to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the Virtual Dark Pod, Nash leisurely stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, not a bad harvest this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earning nearly 10,000 merits and an invitation from the Verdant Group, Nash considered it a very productive day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tidying up and freshening himself, he headed to his office to finish today’s administrative work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the pile of documents had doubled, he couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering that he had attended the assembly the other day, it was no wonder the work had stacked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the [Autonomous Module System] could handle most of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting his body move automatically, Nash entered his runic space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside the optimization work for the [Sensing Module System], Nash turned his attention to the [Autonomous Module System]’s runic program—Basic Governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Trish’s speech about the various reforms happening in the Astral State, Nash felt inspired to do his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if he had transmigrated into the future, Earth was still his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to see it remain mediocre. He, too, wanted to spark a series of reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First on his list: Eastdam State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eastdam State didn’t seem to have any clear specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides its massive stretch of land, equal to three million square kilometers, and a population of over 600 million, it lacked natural mineral resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even have solid terrain for building proper ship landing and takeoff zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Eastdam could’ve already become one of the major states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wracking his brain, Nash finally thought of something: food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so much land and manpower, how could he not consider agriculture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the Arleanian Civilization had suppressed Earth, it had relied heavily on imported rations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Arleanians were gone, this weakness had become painfully obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides those defective nutrient solutions, which were so bad that even adults vomited from drinking them, the people on Earth had little to no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to the world’s needs, transforming Eastdam State into Earth’s food hub seemed like a perfect solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Nash wasn’t doing it for selfish reasons. Absolutely not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he thought about fresh produce, grains, meat, fish, and fruit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to fantasize about what he wanted to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh~ It’s decided. I’ll turn Eastdam State into the Food Capital of Earth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With hundreds of thousands of void crystals in hand, he refused to believe he couldn’t turn Eastdam State into the paradise of his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the basic governance skills within the Autonomous Module System, Nash began to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had to do was input his general ideas, refine them a bit, and let the [Autonomous Module System] work its magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, even without his direct involvement, Eastdam State would slowly start transforming according to his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-five minutes ahead of schedule, the [Autonomous Module System] pinged that it had completed its work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exiting the runic space, Nash looked at the pile of files the runic module couldn’t process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, there were only one or two documents that the basic governance skill couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, dozens of leftover files stared back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping through them, Nash couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems Abner has started to retaliate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking against the interests of the Earth Horizon Alliance, it was no wonder Abner had started to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the reports, various accusations against him were spreading across the news and the internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eastdam State also started showing signs of economic turmoil and began facing multiple sanctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transportation fees to the state had skyrocketed, doubling or even tripling the usual rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four major states also increased their tariffs and taxes on Eastdam state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued, the top families and business corporations would have no choice but to leave Eastdam state and relocate elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the middle class would be forced to migrate to better environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the only ones unaffected were the poor, those who couldn’t even afford a full meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if they had nothing, what could they lose? Their life? In this oppressive world, maybe it would even be a relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. Whatever. Those who want to leave can leave.\" Nash didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did those people have to do with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could manage Eastdam State well and feed the poor, nothing else mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like he was profiting from Eastdam State as its chancellor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, he could earn Arls, which couldn’t even be used because Earth didn’t have Autonomy and couldn’t trade with other planets and civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, it could be said that he was at a loss, wasting hours of his precious time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even if Abner’s retaliation didn’t damage him directly, it was disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the public accusations targeting him and the Crimson Phoenix Squad on the news and online platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Nash cared about the negative press; he just hated being in the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Troublesome...\" he muttered. He wanted to remove all the news about him from public platforms, but hacking Earth’s network would take too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to waste any more effort, Nash decided to hire someone for the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem? He didn’t know any hacker skilled or brave enough to go against the Earth Horizon Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much Nash offered, they either lacked the ability or the courage to take on the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about the virtual realm...\" he mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be professionals in the virtual world who could handle this sort of task easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he only needed the information about him to be banned from a planet’s local network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing the rest of the files, Nash returned to the Virtual Dark Pod and dove back into the virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","f6a061b038cf6b7493b65f1d4b1b554dbb5e95b85a63953066221035e293dde6","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-87","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-85",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
