A few days later, after marching tens of thousands of kiloters, the Star Alliance finally reached the closest tier 5 high-grade resource point.
With little effort, after just a push, the dark beast nest blocking the way was cleared in less than an hour.
Without wasting any ti, the group began mining while the rest blocked the constant invasion of dark beasts.
Looking at their efficient and coordinated movents, Nash heaved a sigh of relief.
"It seems everyone is getting used to each other."
Although they still needed instructions from ti to ti, their efficiency was increasing steadily.
Nash estimated that within a few days to a week, aside from major matters, he should no longer need to lead everyone like a lost flock of sheep.
Continuing his work, he asked Tsuka to quickly lay out the Concealnt Barrier.
After a few hours, encapsulating a radius of thousands of kiloters, the dark beasts finally stopped attacking.
Focusing on the mining, 70% of the team began reconfiguring each resource collector and even started mining the resources by hand.
As a result, in less than three days, a tier 5 high-grade lode that would usually take the Nova Team three months to clear was completed.
"Hiss—this is too amazing!"
If they could harvest a Tier 5 high-grade resource every day, even with a 10% cut, it would boost their previous efficiency by three tis.
Of course, factoring in the ti they needed to travel, which was longer than usual, the total efficiency only increased by 1.5 to 2 tis.
Still, not having to worry about danger, even with lower efficiency, no one had any complaint.
Furthermore, once the cohesiveness and coordination of the Star Alliance improved, it would beco an automatic harvesting machine.
Soon, because they didn’t build any temporary base, it only took them a few hours to pack up and continue their journey.

A week later, Nash condensed another rare elental core.
Because he needed ti to deduce the manual, he opted for elental cores that would take longer to condense, rather than choosing common ones that could be done in less than a day.
From wind, fire, earth, water, wood, stone, lightning, and now, ice, Nash had already condensed eight elental cores.
"Just 1,610 elents to go," Nash mused.
Once he consolidated the Star Alliance a little more, Nash planned to enter another soul-enlightened mode.
However, this ti, instead of focusing on resource points, he planned to concentrate on the runic command composition of those Tier 4 war weapons, the optimization path of his module system, and, most importantly, the elental manuals.
If he could really condense an elental core each day, his strength would undergo a massive leap.
Shifting his focus, Nash took out a low-quality soul transformation potion.
Delaying the optimization plan for the [Recovery Module System], he prioritized modifying his [Training Module System].
After weeks of work, he finally configured it to process and filter the energy in the soul transformation potion, thereby increasing his soul condensation rate.
"Let’s see if it works..."
Activating the [Training Module System], Nash downed a soul transformation potion.
As it flowed down his throat and into his stomach, his body began to filter out all the impurities.
With each drop of his blood acting as a net, it sifted through all the unwanted particles that could pollute his soul.
Yet, even that wasn’t enough. As the potions were absorbed into his soul, they began to undergo another filtering process.
From the surface of his soul to the middle layers, all remaining residue started to be expelled.
"Not enough~"
Opening his runic eyes, he knew the energy still contained impurities.
Activating the [Overlimit Module System], his soul strength quickly increased, compressing the energy further.
Although it wasted a lot of energy in the process, after being pounded repeatedly, Nash noticed that it had finally achieved the purity he wanted.
"Now!"
Instead of being absorbed by his inner soul core, the [Training Module System] wove the energy, lowering its phase to rge with the outer soul core.
Soon, slowly processing the energy, a few hours passed.
"Huh~ This hits the spot!"
Feeling his soul core increase slightly, excitent lit up his eyes.
[Soul Condensation: 10,100%]
"It increased by a hundred?! Great!"
He had expected it to be at most 10%, but Nash didn’t expect that just a single potion could increase his soul condensation rate by 100%.
Calculating it this way, it would only take him 900 potions to reach a 100,000% condensation rate.
From 10,000% to 100,000%, Nash could only imagine how much his strength would increase by then.
From his computational power to the materialization of his soul, and perhaps even his Void Affinity!
"However, my body..."
Amplified by the [Overlimit Module System], much less his soul, even his body had sustained so damage.
Although it only took him a few hours to absorb one soul transformation potion, it would take him a few days to rest and recover.
"I really need to finish optimizing the [Recovery Module System]," Nash frowned.
The optimized [Recovery Module System] should be able to solve this problem.
Looking at his progress so far, Nash regained his spirit.
"Just another week, and I should be able to complete it," Nash estimated.
If he weren’t so busy with the managent of the Star Alliance, he might have already finished by now.
"Well, no ti to dwell on it. It’s ti to work hard..."

anwhile, as the Star Alliance continued its march to each resource point, it began to attract the attention of others.
Initially, they thought the Nova Team was just a rising star, a valuable piece for their own teams.
However, seeing the massive alliance they had ford and how smoothly they operated, they realized that the Nova Team had gone from a pawn to a player on par with them.
Taking them seriously, various spies were soon inserted within the team.
Monitoring everyone, Nash quickly noticed such movents.
However, instead of eliminating them, he simply marked every spy and suspicious individual.
Containing them was better than clearing them out, only to have them grow stronger.
As long as they weren’t an imdiate threat, he didn’t mind using them for his own benefit.
