"Hollow Core Chamber?"
"It’s the core that gathers all rits distributed by the Nova Military. They say it holds an almost infinite amount of rits from the dark plane!" William said excitedly, diving into the details.
Due to the strict control of the Nova Military, all rits earned from military activities are sent to the Hollow Core Chamber.
Normally, soldiers are paid in Nova credits for their service.
However, when they complete certain achievents, they can use the Hollow Core Chamber for a limited ti and absorb as many rits as they can.
With contributions from all soldiers in the Nova Military, from Void Warriors to War Gods, the rits contained in the Hollow Core Chamber are imasurable.
It could be said that if they opened the Hollow Core Chamber permanently, it could beco an alternate factory mass-producing War Gods.
Now, in the Seeded Talent Program, they were allowed to access the Hollow Core Chamber to their heart’s content.
Although the rits were limited to be used in training and one couldn’t advance to the Void Commander rank, they could stay as long as they wanted.
In such an environnt, bathed in countless rits every second, it was no wonder William’s strength had surged so quickly.
Perhaps this was also how Camilla achieved her current saturation rate.
If one could endure the pain, with void energy flooding their body, wasn’t it simple to siphon so to boost their saturation rate?
No matter how stupid one was, with a flood of water from the dam, they could fill a bottle ten tis its capacity.
Although the energy was in vain and could leak anyti, as long as their soul saturation caught up, it was enough.
Understanding this, Nash grew more determined to join the cosmic competition.
Although he had over a billion rits, he had a premonition that it wouldn’t be enough.
"It seems I have to aim for the top spot," Nash sighed.
Initially, he planned to coast through and just pass the cosmic competition. Who knew the prize would be so tempting?
"Haha, good luck, boss! This should be easy for you!" William cheered.
Soon, having learned the source of William’s sudden strength, the two began reminiscing about what they did in the past couple of months.

As ti passed, guests from across the Nova Sector began to arrive.
Once everyone was seated, the auction host stepped forward to announce the start.
"Greetings, honored guests! Welco to the Thousand Treasures Auction. I’m Laura, your host for today."
With a bow and a smile, Laura began presenting the first item to the crowd’s applause.
"For our first lot, we have a perfect tier-1 armor set!"
"Starting at 100 million Nova credits, let the bidding begin!"
"101 million!"
"102 million!"
"105 million!"
"110 million!"
Amid the fierce bidding, Nash began to take interest in the armor set.
The perfect armor Camilla had gifted him only covered his upper body.
Though it provided an all-around barrier, more armor ant greater defense and protection.
Unfortunately, just as he considered bidding, the price shot up to 530 million.
Normally, such an armor set would cost at most 150–200 million, but now the price had nearly tripled.
With the cosmic competition approaching, owning such armor was a kind of guarantee.
In such an important event, it was no wonder the price of a re tier-1 armor set had soared so high.
Soon, in just a few minutes, the perfect armor set sold for 812 million Nova credits.
"Tsk, these people are so rich," Nash muttered, clicking his tongue.
Although he had over 10 billion Nova credits in his account, he didn’t dare to waste them on such an armor.
With his strength, such an armor would be re icing on the cake.
Not wanting to waste any money, he continued to watch the auction.
Soon, the following item was swiftly presented.
"Our next lot is a tier-1 perfect sword. The starting bid is 10 million Nova credits!"
Seeing the item, Nash didn’t generate any interest.
He preferred a spear or a bow. The longer the reach, the better.
Soon, after the sword sold for 35 million Nova credits, one perfect tier-1 weapon after another was presented.
Since Void Warriors could only use weapons of their corresponding tiers, all weapons sold at the auction were tier-1.
Still, to avoid insulting the guests with low-tier items, everything was at least perfect grade or a set item.
Spotting so items he liked, Nash bid carefully.
Despite his abundant funds, he secured each item at the lowest price.
He acquired a tier-1 perfect spear for 23 million, a tier-1 perfect bow for 21 million, and a protective accessory set for 107 million.
After hours of bidding, the auction reached its second stage.
"For our first item in the second stage, we have a tier-3 perfect herb, the Illusion Flower. The starting price is 5 billion rits!"
Compared to the cheaper weapons and items in the first stage, the second stage catered to high-ranking individuals.
From higher-tier herbs, potions, and various formulas, prices ranged in the hundreds of millions or billions of Nova credits.
Unable to afford anything, Nash observed the auction, broadening his understanding of the world.
Watching tier-3 perfect herbs sell for tens of billions every mont, Nash felt tempted to return to the dark plane.
So unique alternative formulas also caught his eye.
The sa potion could have different formulas depending on local conditions.
If soone crafted a resource-intensive potion using only common materials, the formula could be sold for a massive wealth.
Seeing such formulas sell for hundreds of millions to billions of Nova credits, Nash recalled his previous passion for pharmacology.
With his runic space boosting his comprehension and a runic module to assist, creating a new formula should be as easy as eating or drinking.
If he succeeded, billions of Nova credits would be at his fingertips.
Just as he was daydreaming, the third stage of the auction began.
From weapons and items to herbs and potions, the third stage shifted to technological items like ships, guns, production machines, satellites, energy collectors, and more.
Initially, Nash was uninterested as he couldn’t afford or use such items; however, as he heard the following item, his leisurely expression turned serious.
"Our next item is the tier-4 Elental Runic Bracelet. Crafted by a tier-3 Scientist, it combines the elental properties of the world with advanced technology."
"This device can produce a barrier capable of withstanding attacks from multiple Void Venerates. It also has an auxiliary function that doubles soul training efficiency."
"Now, for the starting price: 600 million Nova credits!"
