I Can Program My Body?

Chapter 606: Residence Architecture

Scrolling through the list of buffs, Cadence quickly chose a set that would increase her research efficiency.

[Buff Module

Quota: 12/12

Buff: Research Efficiency 3X Soul Enhancement 3X Calculation Speed 3X Luck 3X

Cost: 4 trillion Soul Points/day

List...]

"Hiss—4 trillion soul points to maintain?! What a scam!" Cadence quickly complained.

Even as a Tier 7 War Saint, she could only extract 2–3 trillion soul points daily.

Yet to maintain her buff, it costs such a staggering amount? Who could even afford this?

Before she could complain further, the Prime Adjunct, Julius, appeared before her.

"What is it?"

"I’m sent here by the Supreme Commander to ask your help building his residence."

"Build his residence?! The guts! Didn’t you know I’m busy building the Great Concealment Array? How could I have time to build some residence?" Cadence complained.

Discovering she didn’t even have enough money to afford her buff, how could she have the mood for such a thing?

Previously, under the rule of Tathia, her buff was free; now it needed to be paid for, which she couldn’t even afford.

"Uh-please hear me out. As this is a private job, you would be paid double your daily stipend during the work," Julius persuaded.

Besides some important parts, he knew Cadence barely had to do anything with the construction of the great concealment barrier array.

"Daily stipend? I have that? Why didn’t I know?"

"It was sent by the Supreme Commander a few days ago through the communication module."

"Oh, I see!" Cadence nodded in embarrassment.

Previously, because Nash nagged her with one job after another, she had had enough and blocked him.

As a Tier 6 scientist, even the Chronos Saint would treat her respectfully; how dare Nash treat her like cattle and a horse?

With this blocking, unless it was an official order passed through various people, Cadence was finally free to do whatever she wanted.

Initially, she was quite happy about it. However, hearing that her salary was tied to a mere message, she couldn’t help but panic.

Opening her communication module, she quickly unblocked Nash.

Then, with a surge of messages, she finally found the notification Nash sent her.

"Not bad! 10 trillion soul point daily stipend! I could finally afford the buff and have some extra!"

In the central parts of the Star Void Area, Soul Points had long been the official currency.

Having 6 trillion soul points extra for herself, most of her issues with Nash were gone.

Accepting the accumulated soul points she hadn’t received a few days ago, she instantly received 40 trillion!

Filled with smiles, Cadence scrolled down through her following duties.

As a Rank 2 Chief Scientist, her responsibility was nothing more than to oversee all projects in the Sun Star Void Area.

If something needed help or they needed a blueprint, Cadence needed to take action.

Another thing was to guide the other scientists if they had any questions.

Of course, depending on the difficulty, she could set the price they needed to pay.

"It’s not too difficult."

Seeing her duty was not too harsh, Cadence heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed Nash still had some conscience.

Although she was given such a high salary, her workload didn’t increase much.

Turning toward Julius, who was still waiting for her answer, Cadence nodded.

"Give me a few days to finish what I’m doing. I’ll help Nash build his residence after."

Since Nash was willing to double her salary for doing such private work, then why not?

Although she had a high salary and could even extract extra soul points, she also had huge expenses.

Just from the buff and various experiments she had in mind, she was already spent.

"Many thanks, Philosopher Cadence. I’ll relay your message to the Supreme Commander!" Julius said, then left hurriedly.

---

A few days later, after finishing her work, Cadence went to the Neon Planet.

"Philosopher Cadence, you are here!"

"You are? Where is Nash?"

"I’m Camilla. My husband is busy with other things, so he asked me to receive you."

At this moment, Nash was still tending the universal runic system, creating a module for territorial management.

Unable to attend, Camilla and Elizabeth were left to restructure their residence.

"I see. Then let’s start. I still have a lot of things to do," Cadence said.

Although she received payment in length, she had no time to delay it.

Her experiments were more important than the measly salary she was given.

Furthermore, Cadence could also receive a final payment of 100 trillion soul points after it was finished, so it’s not too bad.

Following Camilla, they arrived at the massive grassland-like paradise.

"Is that where you would have your residence?"

"No, it’s at the back of Tsuka."

"Tsuka?" Looking around, Cadence only saw an average-sized elephant.

Looking more closely, she saw miniature buildings on its back, like a small civilization.

"Is this dimensional-scale wrapping ability?" Cadence muttered in shock.

"You really have a sharp eye, Philosopher Cadence!"

"Amazing. I only saw such a phenomenon in the Chronos Capital. I didn’t expect a mysterious beast to also have such an ability."

Dimensional scaling was usually simulated using void technology or natural phenomena.

Furthermore, it was only available to those planetary powerhouses; she didn’t expect a mere Tier 7 dark beast would also possess it.

Soon, following Camilla, as they approached Tsuka, it enveloped them with its ability, shrinking them to a similar scale.

"This is where we want to build our residence. Is it fine?" Camilla asked.

Because they wanted a residence that would last forever, they didn’t want it built haphazardly.

Nash even asked for the final blueprint for confirmation before they started to build.

"Leave it to me. Just tell me what you have in mind," Cadence smiled, also interested in the project.

It’s not every day she gets to work on a project like this.

Building a structure in such a space-wrapped dimensional area was not similar to reality.

Because it had to undergo space wrapping most of the time, if they had just built it normally, it would disintegrate in a few decades.

Unless they used Tier 9 planetary materials, everything had to be laid perfectly.
