Chapter 131: Giving Resources

The next day, after waking up refreshed, Nash diligently did his daily exercise.

Passing by the training ground, he saw Michael and his students also doing physical exercise.

Although using merits could quickly increase one’s strength, they wouldn’t mean much without mastering the power they provided.

"Chancellor Nash, it’s rare for you to pass by here," Michael greeted with a smile.

"I see their progress is quite good. In less than three months, they should be able to reach 100% saturation rate," Nash muttered in amazement.

In just two months, most of them were already at 80% saturation.

Even Leo, the most talented among them, had reached 99% saturation.

Such prodigies were truly remarkable.

While it took Nash hundreds of thousands of merits to advance to 100% saturation, it only took them tens of thousands.

Especially Leo, if not for the bottleneck from 99% to 100% saturation, he might have already advanced long ago.

As for Michael, he wasn’t far behind. He had reached 110% saturation on his own while guiding his students.

Without them, he might have already hit his goal of 120% saturation.

Meanwhile, hearing Nash’s praise, Michael smiled proudly.

"This is all thanks to their unwavering determination and hard work. Especially you, Chancellor Nash. Without your guidance, who knows how many dangers we would face in the Dark Plane."

Although Nash had left them after bringing them to the Dark Plane, the information he shared saved them countless detours.

With their numbers, a single misstep could have cost a few students their lives.

"Keep up the work. A 100% void saturation is only the beginning," Nash said.

While 100% void saturation was enough to advance to Void Commander and begin fortifying void energy in their body, it was the bare minimum.

Advancing with such a weak foundation meant becoming cannon fodder, like 90% of others in the Nova sector.

With the conditions he provided, if they dare to advance at just 100% saturation, he will beat them to death.

After watching them train for a while, Nash told Michael, "When you’re done with training, meet me at the Lantern Shelter. I’ll give you the resources you need to sprint toward your goal."

Although the students were mostly at 80% saturation, the path they needed to work through to reach 100% was much longer than before.

To reach it within a month, they would need dark potions to extend their time in the Dark Plane.

As for directly giving them merits to boost their saturation rate, Nash wasn’t that generous.

Excessive generosity would only breed greed and laziness.

Instead of becoming a sharp blade, they might grow crooked and turn against him.

It was better for them to earn the merits needed to increase their void saturation.

Not only would it hone their fighting skills, but it would also lay a strong foundation for their future.

After talking a bit more with Michael, Nash headed to the Dark Plane.

Meeting up with his teammate, Nash told them to prepare while he headed to the Lantern Shelter.

After a few minutes, Michael arrived with his students.

Hearing that Nash had something for them, how could he keep him waiting?

"Here are 800 dark potions. They should last you three weeks," Nash said.

"Dark potions? That’s great! We can stay in the Dark Plane longer!" Michael exclaimed.

They had long been searching for a supply of dark potions.

Unfortunately, with the sanctions on Earth for being an Uncivilized Planet, they could only buy them in the Dark Plane.

The problem was that this remote shelter had no potions for sale.

"Do you have a residence to store them?" Nash asked.

Since Nash hadn’t materialized the potions, they couldn’t be taken to the real world.

When returning, they could only be stored in the Dark Plane.

Fortunately, this didn’t affect the potions, whether it was taken in the real world or the Dark Plane.

Drinking a dark potion could still provide them with extra hours to stay in the Dark Plane.

"Yes, we have a residence. We store all our weapons, equipment, and loot there," Michael replied.

Without a residence, they would have to pay to materialize everything, wasting precious merit points.

As for temporarily storing items in official buildings, it wasn’t cost-effective given their numbers.

"That’s good. Since everything’s sorted, I have to go. Let me know if you run out of dark potions," Nash said.

"We’ve got it, Chancellor Nash. Thank you for always looking out for us," Michael said gratefully.

Returning to the Dark Willow Shelter, Nash led his team on another hunt into the Willow Primeval Forest.

Familiar with the path, they faced little to no danger and meticulously gathered herbs along the way.

Although they had the strength to venture deeper, they held back, planning to clear all the herbs on the periphery first.

This way, they could earn more merits, gaining greater strength needed to explore further into the forest.

---

After hours of fighting dark beasts and collecting herbs, they returned wearily to their residence.

Following their usual routine, Nash distributed the 5.2 million merits they earned that day.

Seeing his tired teammates about to rest, Nash held back his words.

Not having to manually train his soul, he had 6 hours of extra time to continue hunting in the Dark Plane.

However, seeing their exhausted faces and remembering they still needed to train to increase their void saturation rate, he reconsidered.

Since they weren’t available, he decided to use the time to study the fundamental runic programs of his body and soul.

"See you tomorrow, boss!" his team called out.

"Bye, boss..."

"Hmm," Nash nodded, sending them off.

Returning to reality, Nash tackled the documents from Eastdam State.

Eastdam State comprises of over 150 cities. With a rudimentary government, there was much more work to do.

Fortunately, most troublemakers had already left, leaving only the poor behind.

As long as Nash provided enough food, he could focus on infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, laws, and governance.

He didn’t need to handle education, healthcare, employment, or the economy.
