Following his order, they took off in their vehicles or on their pets, bolting toward far distances.
From 1 kiloter, 10 kiloters, to a hundred kiloters, they noticed changes as the distance grew.
First was the delay: the farther they went, the longer the delay their ssage would take, from a few seconds to minutes.
Second was the consumption.
Earlier, using ’Status Analysis’ barely consud any void energy.
But at a distance, it beca more strenuous.
Each activation of ’Status Analysis’ felt like unleashing a massive attack.
Fortunately, the Communication Port didn’t increase in consumption as much.
Even at hundreds of kiloters from their captain, the energy use remained manageable.
But beyond a thousand kiloters, sending a ssage beca a chore, taking ten minutes just to send one.
Even ’Status Analysis’ beca unusable, requiring too much energy.
Finally, at 3,350 kiloters, the [Team Module System] cut off completely.
"Is this the current range of my ability? It seems tied to my soul amplification," Nash deduced, studying his runic panel.
[Nash Navre:
Body Saturation: 9,000%
Body Tempering: 1,000%
Soul Saturation: 9,133%
Soul Tempering: 10,830%
Void Amplification: 109,000x
Soul Amplification: 334,033x
Physique: 100x
Runic System: 10
Universal System: 1]
Having reached over 10,000% soul tempering, Nash’s advancent began to slow down.
His soul saturation and soul tempering had even reached an equilibrium, with each percentage increasing and decreasing in tandem.
"It seems I need to upgrade the quality of the Infinite Tempering Manual quickly."
Sacrificing speed for quality, his tempered soul could only provide 30 tis the amplification.
If he wanted to increase his soul amplification greatly in a short period of ti, optimizing the soul tempering manual was his only solution.
Soon, after notifying his team through the intercom to co closer, he asked them to try the last function of the [Team Module System].
"Map Positioning."
Activating the final function of the [Team Module System], their panel suddenly turned blank, displaying 14 dots labelled with each of their nas.
"Is this a real-ti map?!"
Though it didn’t show terrain, knowing their own and their teammates’ real-ti positions was enough to amaze them.
In the Dark Plane, knowing the position of each mber was crucial.
Unlike low-level zones, where they could gather in a party, in higher-tier zones, grouping would intensify their life aura, attracting hordes of dark beasts.
Thus, in the wild, they could only wander in groups of two or three.
With ’Map Positioning’ and ’Communication Port,’ they could achieve seamless teamwork that worked miracles.
Testing the distance, lag, distortion, and other factors affecting ’Map Positioning’ as instructed by their captain, a whole day passed unnoticed.

Back at the Crescent Starfall residence, Nash and the Dark Shadow Squad were enjoying a feast.
"I didn’t expect your cooking to be so delicious, Captain!"
"You must be at least a Tier 2 chef, Captain. Your cooking is superb!"
"No, Captain must be at least a Tier 3 chef."
"No need to praise , it’s just a hobby," Nash said, stopping their banter.
In truth, given the knowledge he’d gained from reading books about food, he could only be considered a Tier 2 chef.
The reason they perceived it as more delicious was because it was tailored directly to the inner workings of their runic programs.
That’s right, besides fighting and creating runic modules, he could even craft food that perfectly acclimated to their taste buds.
Knowing their bodies and souls better than they knew themselves, cooking delicious food ca naturally.
Soon, sweeping through the food like a hurricane, they couldn’t help but burp in satisfaction.
"What do we do now, Captain? Is there still training tomorrow?" one of them joked.
The day after tomorrow was when they would head to the Dark Plane.
With such little ti, even training wholeheartedly wouldn’t be effective.
"No, you can take this ti to rest or buy supplies you’ll need in the Dark Plane."
"Got it, Captain!"
"Do you have any suggestions for what to buy, Captain?"
As mbers of the seeded talent program, they were each given trillions of nova credits.
With money to spend but unsure what to buy, they turned to their captain for advice.
"You can buy anything you might need. If possible, spend a few hundred billion to a trillion of your budget. It’ll make things easier in the Dark Plane," Nash said.
Hearing this, they nodded, taking a note of what he said, thinking about what to purchase.
Soon, after resting, they said their goodbyes and took their leave.
Nash also rested, too lazy to do any work.
He even deactivated the [Parallel Module System] to give himself a deep cleanse.
Staying at his residence with Camilla, they sat by the lake at sunset and slept in their bed at night.
---
The next day, just as Nash planned to go fishing with Camilla, a call ca through his intercom, informing him that the items he ordered from the Star Tower had arrived.
"It’s finally here... I thought they wouldn’t make it in ti," Nash said, heaving a sigh of relief.
Heading to the docking station of Auralis I, they flew toward the Nova Capital Market.
---
Nova Capital Market, Star Tower.
"Welco, Sir Noir. Here are the items you requested," the manager said, handing him a storage item.
Checking the contents, Nash was a little shocked.
Although he knew the items he bought were substantial, he didn’t expect them to be this many.
The storage item the manager gave him was as large as his storage necklace, asuring one million by one million square ters.
Yet, at this mont, a quarter of it was filled, aning 250 billion cubic ters of materials!
Unable to check everything in a short ti, Nash decided not to, trusting the Star Tower wouldn’t dupe him.
"How is it, Sir Noir? Are you satisfied with the items?"
"Not bad. You managed to collect them in ti."
"Haha, you jest, Sir Noir. As our valued custor, how could we not do our best to serve you?" the manager said with a smile, seeing that Nash was pleased.
"Thank you. Here’s the rest of the paynt." Finding no issues, Nash readily paid the remaining amount.
In total, the items he bought, including the attributeless elental crystal, were worth 3.9 trillion.
Transferring all the items to his storage necklace, Nash and Camilla decided to spend so ti in the Nova Capital Market.
Tomorrow, they would embark on a one-and-a-half-year journey in the perilous Dark Plane.
Knowing they might not experience the extravagance and indulgence of reality for a while, they lingered a bit longer in the Nova Capital.
