CHAPTER 173: NOVA LIBRARY

Thinking he would get a better discount at the Nova Library with his identity, Nash chose it over the Spirit Pavilion.

However, before he could leave, he received a message from the Nova government officials.

Because he bought a personal battleship in his name, the competition reward he was supposed to receive would be modified.

Instead of getting a Tier 5 battleship, the personal battleship he bought would be modified and enhanced to a Tier 6 battleship.

"I didn’t expect the loophole Camilla said would work!" Nash muttered, clenching his fist.

Knowing he joined the seeded talent program, Camilla had told him about various hidden terms to exploit.

One of them was the enhancement of the battleship upon buying one of his own.

"Tsk, the Nova Government is really generous~"

---

Walking leisurely, he soon reached a teleportation station and teleported to the Nova Library.

"It seems worse than the Spirit Pavilion..."

Just looking at the infrastructure, it didn’t have the same grandeur as the Spirit Pavilion.

After all, the Nova Sector was just a sector-level establishment, while the Spirit Pavilion was top-tier even in the Solaris Domain.

Entering inside, Nash presented his certificate as a Cosmic Elite.

Unlike others who could only get a browsing opportunity, his identity as a member of the seeded talent program allowed him to browse everything inside for free.

"I wonder when I’ll meet the other seeded candidates," Nash muttered thoughtfully.

Because the other 90 places were still being fought over, their gathering hadn’t been announced yet.

Fortunately, all the benefits he was entitled to had already been given.

From a free pass, Nova credits, training resources, genetic potion, and more.

Perhaps the only thing left was personal instruction from a War God.

Nash had read that a War God would personally take them to experience the environment of the Dark Plane.

Since the Domain-Level Cosmic Competition would take place in the Dark Plane, experiencing its various dangers, unique places, and dark beasts in advance was a must.

Soon, after his Cosmic Elite identity was scanned, Nash was allowed to enter.

[Welcome, Seeded Talent, Noir!]

Looking around, he was greeted by a neatly arranged and categorized sea of books.

"Can I really browse everything in this place?!"

Although the library’s collection was smaller than the Spirit Pavilion’s, it was still overwhelming.

Accessing the Nova Library panel, Nash felt a little disappointed.

[Nova Library: Noir

Status: Cosmic Elite

Nova Points: 0 (Seeded Talent - Unrestricted access to Tier 1-5 books)

Search...

Upload...]

Following the structure of the Spirit Pavilion, one could also search and upload knowledge for points in the Nova Library.

The only difference was that his seeded talent identity allowed him to browse books from Tier 1 to Tier 5.

"I thought I could view books up to Tier 9..."

Nash had long wanted to uncover the mystery hidden in the Tier 9 realm.

However, whether in the virtual world or asking William, it seemed the tiers beyond War God Rank were deliberately hidden.

He thought he could finally unravel this mystery, but it seemed he overestimated his identity.

Even Tier 6 knowledge, which included the projection of laws, was not available.

"Huh, this is enough... don’t be too greedy!"

Books from tier 1 to tier 5 were more than enough for him at the moment.

Even with the [Memory Module System], he might not save all of them in three years.

After all, once these three years were over, the Nova Sector’s investment would end.

"I wonder if the Solaris Domain also has such rewards for its winners."

Since the Nova Sector was so generous, the Solaris Domain shouldn’t be too stingy.

Shaking off the thought, Nash suddenly remembered why he came to the Nova Library.

He still needed to settle everything on Earth before he could begin his training.

Right now, he just needed to buy books and training courses, and he could leave everything to Julius.

Tapping on ’Search,’ Nash began looking for a universal Astral Art.

Soon, after minutes and hours browsing one by one, he finally found the most suitable option for the people of Earth.

[Savage Body Astral Art: Universal Astral Art applicable to anyone. It is the void training manual used by the Savage Blood Barbarians. Fast-acting, low-resource intensive, and easily malleable to each individual. Cons: The faster one absorbs and cycles void energy, the more painful it is.]

"This is perfect!"

Not only was it fast and low-resource intensive, but it was also malleable to each individual’s fighting style.

As for the pain? What was that? The proud people of Earth could face enemies, knowing it might lead to death, what was mere pain?

Coming from the suppression and torment they endured from the Arleanians, what could Earthlings not withstand?

Operating on the buyout system, Nash couldn’t help but frown.

"So damn expensive!"

The original price of the Savage Body Astral Art, which could reach 1000% void saturation, was 270 million Nova credits.

In the buyout system, for every thousand-fold increment, he could distribute it to a billion people.

This meant that to buy enough for 7 billion people, he’d need to pay 7,000 times the price.

270 million multiplied by 7,000 was already 1.89 trillion!

"No! I’m being stupid!"

Suddenly, Nash realized he didn’t need to buy the manual; he could create it himself!

As long as it wasn’t a blatant copy, with a few changes and improvements, he could even sell it himself for profit.

With the godlike comprehension provided by the Runic Space, it shouldn’t take long to create a working Astral Art from scratch.

Although it would slightly delay his training, Nash didn’t need to do it all at once.

First, he could create a working manual for 100-300% void saturation, then complete it to 1000% when he had time.

"Hah, it seems money was making me stupid..." Nash mocked himself helplessly.

After gaining a huge sum of money, Nash’s mind was stuck on the idea that if it could be bought, it wasn’t a problem.

His brain basically shut down, using money to solve all his issues.

After all, who would bother with problems if they could be solved with money?

Deciding to deduce the Astral Art and soul manual himself, Nash felt the weight he was carrying disappear.

As for basic professional knowledge, it couldn’t be deduced.

Unlike manuals with various varieties and permutations, basic professional knowledge was already universally consolidated.

Unless he discovered new knowledge or techniques, he couldn’t bypass the copyright fees.

Even so, by skipping the costly void and soul manuals, he only needed to spend a small amount, even with the buyout system.

As for the expensive advanced professional knowledge, Nash didn’t bother with it.

Basic professional knowledge was enough for now.
