Chapter 780

After hearing Nash’s offer, the Chronos Saint was satisfied and turned to her subordinates.

“What about now? Do you still have objections?”

“No, Supreme Leader, you are welcome to order as much as you want.”

Since Nash was willing to accept the Time Origin Stone and mother core ships, which didn’t harm their interests, they naturally had no complaints.

“Hmm, I want 10 million bottles of that Faith Origin Potion. When can you give it to me?”

“Ah, this… I can give it to you after a month, is that alright?” Nash paused, not expecting such a large order.

“Then what can you give me now?”

“I can give you a hundred thousand bottles first.” Nash only had a little over a million bottles himself, and needing to reserve some for his and his wives’ training, he couldn’t give her everything.

“That’s fine. All payments will be processed by Hanna.” The Chronos Saint waved to Hanna, then went back to her training.

Seeing her devotion, Nash felt a little speechless. Just how much of a training maniac was this Chronos Saint?

“My apologies, the Chronos Saint is just like this,” Hanna said helplessly, seeing his reaction.

“It’s fine. Anyway, how do you plan to pay for the potion?”

“We’ll pay everything with mother core ships. Is that fine with you?” Hanna said. Unlike the Time Origin Stone, which was limited in quantity, they could create as many mother core ships as they wanted.

Although one took 3 years to replicate, with over 10 million mother core ships, they could have at least 10 million each cycle.

Unlike the Eternal Star Alliance, which had massive needs, they only needed them for basic construction. If not for using them to trade for the Eternal Military Outpost before, they wouldn’t have been worth much.

“No problem, just deliver them in time.” Nash smiled and handed her the 100,000 bottles of Faith Origin Potion. While he had said he could only create the potion by hand, that was only for the last step. Most of the preparatory steps could be automated, increasing his efficiency.

If he worked at full concentration, brewing 1 million bottles of potion a day was not a problem. Exchanging 1 million mother core ships for 10 days of work, why not?

Meanwhile, hearing of their successful transaction, the other supreme leaders perked up. Similar to the Chronos Alliance, they had a large stock of mother core ships. Most were underutilized, just waiting for a chance for Nash to open the channel to exchange the Eternal Military Outpost for them again. They hadn’t expected another avenue to open for exchange.

“We also want Faith Origin Potion in exchange for mother core ships. Do you still have some?” Stragos approached, followed by the others.

Although they couldn’t use the potion for regular training, it was still very useful for breaking through bottlenecks. Whether to use it themselves or for their core members, it was worth it.

“Sure, how much do you want? I’ll brew them for you and deliver them in a month.”

“I want 1 million bottles.”

“I also want 1 million bottles.”

“Same for me…”

As if they had talked before, they all ordered 1 million bottles of Faith Origin Potion.

Unlike the Chronos Saint, who didn’t care about cost-effectiveness, they wanted to test the potion’s efficacy first. If it was really effective in helping one break through bottlenecks, they wouldn’t mind buying more in the future.

Anyway, they were already researching how to build a Tier 9 mother core ship. Once they succeeded, the Tier 8 mother core ships in their hands would become obsolete.

Naturally, hearing their demands, Nash happily accepted all their orders.

With 19 million Faith Origin Potions orders, he could gain 1.9 million mother core ships, increasing the total to about 32 million.

After signing the agreement and making the advance payment, they happily concluded the trade.

Soon, just as they were about to relax and wait for the Altier Convention to end, their subordinates began reporting their findings.

“Universal Runic System subscription model? What is this?”

Because they had been focused on the exclusive items and Tier 9 materials of each major alliance, they hadn’t noticed this Universal Runic System subscription model, which was on the lower list.

Back in Nash, they asked for more details on how the system worked.

“Nash, what do you mean by this Universal Runic System’s absolute security and privacy? Have you made a breakthrough with your ability?”

They knew about the Universal Runic System’s abilities and were somewhat jealous. Unfortunately, because of the security risk and the lack of privacy, they had prevented their people from using it.

If Nash could really ensure security and privacy, they wouldn’t mind paying the exorbitant subscription fee.

“Oh, you finally found this. I was just about to tell you. To ensure the security and privacy of the Universal Runic System, I created a runic signal tower that acts as a buffer, concentrating a strand of will which can then relay the signal to the users.” As Nash began to explain, he wove a visual image, showing how it worked.

Basically, the runic signal tower only needed a single person to believe in him to establish a connection. Then, through that person, the system’s range could expand further without requiring any additional belief.

In short, it worked similarly to the elemental core signal station he had created before. However, instead of the elemental core being the anchor, it would be the person who established the belief.

“Then how do you ensure privacy?”

They roughly understood how the runic signal tower could protect their security without infringing on their people’s beliefs.

“This is simple. The signal tower has some administrative authority. Whatever information is sent in, you have the capability to encrypt it. The only way to decrypt it is to enter the same signal range, or for another runic signal tower to have the decryption key.”

“Oh? What if your people entered the signal range to steal information?”

“As I said, each runic signal tower has administrative authority. Naturally, you can manage and identify each user who connects to the signal.”

“This is interesting…”

It seemed this administrative authority gave them some control over the Universal Runic System, similar to a virtual server.

As for whether Nash could decrypt their encryption, that could only mean they were inferior and destined to lose. If they couldn’t even beat their enemy in encryption technology, why bother to compete at all?

No longer hesitating, they asked Nash for a sample to see how it worked. Calling some of their subordinates, Nash gave them early access to the Universal Runic System.

[Binding Universal Runic System…]

[Binding Success]

[(Input Name) – Azure Heaven Alliance (Private)

Communication

Library

Soul Bank]

Unlike the guest version, which had additional runic assistance, a mission board module, and a combat module, the private version only had the communication, library, and soul bank modules.

Asking their subordinate to open the Communication Module, they saw that it was a blank slate. Whether to create an individual, group, or forum communication channel, they were free to do so. They could even censor information as they liked, having great control, second only to Nash.

Opening the next tab, they saw the Library Module containing a massive amount of knowledge. After a rough scan, they found that most of it came from the Altier Arcane Tower.

What made them frown was that all the books needed payment to unlock. From one-time licensing and individual purchases to limited-time access. What was worse, payments were settled in Chaos Stones.

“Nash, why bother putting in this Library Module? Most of this information is common and public knowledge. If we wanted to, we could just view it in our virtual server.”

With such a massive paywall, their interest in the Universal Runic System waned by half.

“That’s not how you use the Library Module. It’s used to save on the computing power of the virtual server, saving Merit Source when you want to accelerate time inside.” Nash smiled, beginning to explain.

The Library Module was similar to cloud storage, which they could use to save precious Merit Source. Instead of clogging the virtual server’s memory with a large chunk of data, they could use the Library Module to save on storage.

With more storage, they could add more processing and experimental apparatus to the virtual server without increasing the consumption of Merit Source.

“Do you mean the Universal Runic System doesn’t consume Merit Source?” They asked excitedly. While Merit Source could accelerate time indefinitely, every variable would cause consumption to skyrocket.

If they could truly use the Library Module as alternative cloud storage, then it would be a godly tool that could accelerate their development.

All experimental data, needed information, and records could be stored without taking up space, leaving room to insert more equipment or people at the same price.

“Wait, what about security?”

“If we upload the information inside, then that means…”

“Unfortunately, I can’t do much about this. I can give you the same authority to encrypt the information, but it won’t be effective.” Nash shook his head.

Encrypting temporary, flash data was easy; however, encrypting static information was impossible. He didn’t believe he could fool these supreme leaders no matter what solution he devised.

“It can’t be helped.” They sighed, knowing Nash wasn’t lying to them.

Even then, it couldn’t diminish the utility of the Library Module. While they couldn’t store important and strategic knowledge inside, some common, public, and useless data could still be stored there. Furthermore, according to the note inside, they could even earn Chaos Stones once others browsed the knowledge they uploaded.
