CHAPTER 119: UPLOAD KNOWLEDGE

"Level 3 is Curator, which grants access up to tier 9 knowledge and waives fees for tier 1 to tier 6 knowledge."

"Level 4 is Sage, which gives free access to all our books and a unique opportunity."

Hearing the staff’s explanation, Nash couldn’t help but be amazed.

The Spirit Pavilion seemed to have deeper roots than he imagined.

A complete collection of tier 1 to tier 9 knowledge was something not just anyone could offer.

Even the Nova Military Academy, directly backed by the Nova Government, didn’t have such a complete collection.

However, as a Void Warrior, Nash knew it was too early to dwell on such matters.

What intrigued him more was that a Level 2 Bearer could access tier 1 to tier 3 books for free.

This could save him an enormous amount of money and broaden his understanding of the world.

"Free books? How do I upgrade my level? How many Spirit Points do I need?" Nash asked eagerly.

"You can earn Spirit Points by uploading new knowledge to the Spirit Pavilion," the staff replied.

"To become a Bearer, you need 10,000 points. You can also use Spirit Points to access higher-tier knowledge in advance."

"New knowledge? Do entertainment, formulas, blueprints, inventions, and such count?"

"Yes, as long as it hasn’t been recorded or discovered before, it can be submitted. However, redundant or low-value knowledge doesn’t earn many points."

"I see..."

Discovering new knowledge in this interstellar world was no easy task.

Killing dark beasts in battle would be simpler than uncovering something entirely new.

Of course, creating technology, formulas, blueprints, algorithms, or mathematical theorems could earn substantial points.

After thoroughly understanding the process, Nash received his Spirit Token and returned to the library.

Finding a quiet corner, he began tinkering with the token.

[Spirit Token: Noir (owner)

Level: 1 Seeker

Spirit Points: 0

Search...

Upload...]

"Let’s see if my knowledge from Earth is useful!"

Tapping Upload, a new interface appeared.

[Please choose a mode of upload...]

Looking at the options from direct file transfer, writing, demonstration, thinking, and more, Nash chose to connect his mind to the Spirit Token and directly upload his thoughts.

Activating the [Memory Module System], a flood of knowledge poured from his mind.

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Number Theory...

After uploading all the mathematical theorems he knew from his previous life, Nash paused to check how many Spirit Points he’d earned.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete!]

[Due to significant similarities, minor discrepancies, and some flawed logic, you earned 11.5 Spirit Points.]

"Significant similarities? Did someone upload Earth’s knowledge before me?"

Opening the data table showing how his points were calculated, Nash frowned.

"99.9% similarity? Tsk, as I thought, someone beat me to it!"

He estimated that without the completeness of his uploaded information, he might not have even earned any points.

Searching for the knowledge he’d uploaded, he confirmed his suspicion.

[Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

Uploaded by: Luis Maddox, Arleanian Civilization

Uploaded: A hundred years ago

Origin: Earth Planet]

"Tsk, our people, wealth, even knowledge was stolen! Typical Arleanians!" Nash muttered, shaking his head.

He could only rely on the [Memory Module System] to upload as much knowledge as possible.

Fortunately, he had memories from the previous generation of Earth, or at least a parallel version of it.

With slight differences, Nash could still earn some points.

From scientific theories, elements, philosophy, history, economics, literature, biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, arts, games, movies, and more, he began to upload everything.

With the [Memory Module System] working on his behalf, the upload speed was frighteningly fast, like transferring a document to another.

For others, even if they remembered everything, recalling and uploading it would be slow, inaccurate, and require repetition just to get it right.

---

A few hours later, Nash had uploaded all the knowledge he’d learned in his past life to the Spirit Token.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete!]

[Due to significant similarities, minor discrepancies, and some flawed logic, you earned 7,425 Spirit Points.]

"Damn, still not enough!" Nash clenched his fist in frustration.

Just a bit more, and he would have access to a treasure trove of free knowledge!

Unfortunately, that Arleanian who shamelessly uploaded Earth’s knowledge, claiming it as their own, had heavily reduced the points he could earn.

"Should I upload some information about the runic space?" Nash wondered briefly.

However, before it could even bud in his mind, it was quickly dismissed.

That was his trump card, his last resort. Unless he had no other choice, he couldn’t reveal any information about the runic space.

"This is enough... I’ll figure something out later."

No longer dwelling on his setback, Nash gradually calmed down.

He came to the Spirit Pavilion to buy astral arts, not to get sidetracked by free knowledge.

Refocusing on his goal, he searched for the astral arts he needed.

When he saw the price of arts that could boost saturation to 1000%, Nash was dumbfounded.

"Is this price even real? This has to be a scam!"

[God Fiend Astral Art: 450 million NC]

[Abyss Body Astral Art: 390 million NC]

[Dark Nebula Astral Art: 480 million NC]

[Phantom Pulse Astral Art: 270 million NC]

[Shadow Nexus Astral Art: 320 million NC]

"So expensive!"

The manual he’d bought at the Star Tower cost only a few hundred thousand merits.

Factoring in the currency difference and saturation level, he expected prices in the tens of millions, not hundreds of millions.

With barely a hundred thousand Nova Credits in his account, Nash felt a pang of pain.

Tinkering with the token, he discovered he could switch the prices to merits.

[God Fiend Astral Art: 135 million merits]

[Abyss Body Astral Art: 117 million merits]

[Dark Nebula Astral Art: 144 million merits]

[Phantom Pulse Astral Art: 81 million merits]

[Shadow Nexus Astral Art: 92 million merits]

"It’s still expensive..." Nash sighed.

Although merits were a more powerful currency, it didn’t change the fact that he couldn’t afford these manuals.

Unable to purchase them, he searched for abbreviated manuals that could only reach 700% saturation.
