What do I do? Just fight you?\" William stepped forward, seeing no one else move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. As long as you manage to hit me, you pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going into this backward shelter, there are only one or two with decent ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t lower his standards, he might not even recruit a single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s easy~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Licking his lips, William rushed in as he brandished his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too simple.\" Seeing such a direct attack, Lawrence shook his head, already planning a counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he moved to dodge, William’s fist curved mid-air like it had a tracker, landing squarely in his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling like he punched a solid steel, William couldn’t help but frown as he held back the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering his boss’s words and training, he didn’t drop his guard and immediately followed up with a sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lawrence could recover, William’s foot came swinging at his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\" Easily dodging the second strike, Lawrence backed away, stopping William.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already passed. No need to continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it?\" William sighed, slightly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he hadn’t even left a scratch on Lawrence, he didn’t want it to end like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just tasked with helping the Verdant Group find a herb. As long as you can defend yourself, that’s enough,\" Lawrence explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though surprised that William managed to land a hit on him, he chalked it up to carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a 5-star warrior coming to this backwater shelter was a bit overkill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied with William’s strength and reflexes, Lawrence didn’t dwell on it and moved on to the next candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking back to Nash, William looked downcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I let you down, Boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to worry. Passing the trial is enough,\" Nash replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it would be impossible for William to defeat Lawrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he himself wasn’t confident against Lawrence, how could he expect his student to do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just... unsatisfying,\" William muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn’t win, but he at least hoped for a good fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already did great. Since you passed, what are you moping for?\" Leslie rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m talking to my boss. Don’t interrupt,\" William replied coldly, glancing at this nosy woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just saying,\" Leslie pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don’t start fighting,\" Nash cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Boss, do you want to borrow a weapon?\" Ignoring Leslie, William continued talking to Nash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. This is enough,\" Nash said with a smile, showing him the new and improved bladed spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having money, Nash didn’t buy a new weapon but instead reinforced his makeshift weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Makeshift Spear Blade (Tier 1 – Mid Grade)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reliable makeshift spear that won’t break after a few swings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materialization Cost: 14,300 Merits]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From low-grade to mid-grade, it was not only tougher but also sharper thanks to a newly forged blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" William nodded. However, in his storage bracelet, several perfect Tier 1 weapons were already prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From swords, spears, shields, to armor, his storage had a complete set. After passing the Stanley Family’s initiation, getting a few perfect-grade weapons to play with was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, William didn’t forget food. In fact, his bracelet was almost full of it, ranging from high-tier meat to a wide variety of seasonings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about asking Nash to cook for him, William couldn’t help but drool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after an hour of testing and evaluation, Lawrence had picked out 23 qualified 3-star Void Warriors, 6 4-star Void Warriors, and 4 pathfinders, including Nash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. Our first destination is the Willow Jungle,\" Lawrence announced, leading the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his call, Nash and William, who were resting nearby, stood up and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? You’re joining too?\" William asked, surprised to see Leslie tagging along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her badge, she was just a 3-star Void Warrior. With such a petite body, even a Dark Beast could swallow her whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? I’m a representative of the Verdant Group. It’s expected that I come along,\" Leslie replied through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, whatever~\" William clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teasing this little woman seemed to help with his boredom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after a while, they arrived at a 5-star danger zone near the Black Willow Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Arrived at Willow Jungle: Danger Level – 5 Stars]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the scattered trees of the Willow Forest, the Willow Jungle was choked with dense trees, thick shrubs, wild weeds, and clinging vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t even room to walk that they had to cut their way through. Finding a herb here was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The danger wasn’t small either. Just as they entered, a dark beast swooped in from the ground, trees, and even the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place isn’t easy...\" Nash muttered, slicing through a snake lunging at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mud Snake killed: +1 Merit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 5-star danger zone was far more treacherous than a 4-star one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this place, the Willow Forest was like a forest park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved forward, Dark Beasts attacked them from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the group wasn’t weak. As long as they weren’t swarmed, even 4-star beasts could be taken down with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spread out! Protect the pathfinders. It’s time to start the search,\" Lawrence ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re only at the perimeter. Are we really starting here?\" one of the pathfinders asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it’s a precious herb, it should be found at the center of the danger zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would have long been found by another group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just do as I said. We don’t even know what herb we’re looking for. It might be the inconspicuous grass you’re about to step on,\" Lawrence said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without seeing a herb’s saturation rate in real-time, they could only rely on experience and instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, these pathfinders were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them could sense the intensity of void saturation like bloodhounds. Another was like a walking encyclopedia, able to spot subtle signs of rare herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Nash, since he was specially recruited, Lawrence hadn’t had time to ask about his specialty yet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","f0e71ac21b82bab5098e6d060f50be2b46cb75589154be1878c68ca22ef0b8ec","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-95","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-93",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
