"Sir, I have brought the transaction contracts for the three islands."
In the reception room of the Island Exchange, Nelly sat down with a smile and spread the three contracts on the table.
Her attentive service and companionship were duly rewarded.
After three flights around the east side of the archipelago, Li Nuo finally determined the island he wanted to buy.
The islands that Li Nuo took a fancy to were the Snow Mountain Island No. 1, the small island No. 112333, and the small island No. 112332. The three islands total 112,000 gold coins.
The Pangola family, the owners of the island, deposit the ownership certificate of the island on the exchange.
Li Nuo first reached a trading contract with the Island Exchange and paid 112,000 gold coins. Then, based on its contract with the Pangola family, the exchange will obtain the ownership certificate of the island from the library protected by magic, and the ownership certificate transfer contract that the Pangola family is about to sign with Li Nuo.
As soon as the handover contract was signed, Li Nuo officially took ownership of the three islands and became the owner of the three islands.
All three deeds of ownership are recognized and protected by Unas Ring. As long as Li Nuo does not become an enemy of Unas Circle, his ownership of the island will not be taken away by the Ministry of Magic of Unas Circle.
After the ownership of the island is handed over, the matter is not over yet.
Li Nuo upgraded the island's security services at a price of 100 gold coins per island per month.
He paid 300 gold coins for this.
He wouldn't have to personally defend his island for the next month. The Deep Sea Branch has set up strongholds and magic posts near the island to help him protect the island.
The magic sentry will fly over his island with a patrol frequency of once every two hours, using a wide range of detection magic to patrol the entire island to ensure that the island's natural resources are not damaged.
With this upgraded security service, Li Nuo no longer needs to worry about the island. He can focus on more important things.
With Nelly's farewell, Li Nuo left the Island Exchange and arrived at the Island Affairs Department in the trading area by car.
This is the Suman Islands management organization under the Deep Sea Branch, and all positions are held by wizards from the Deep Sea Branch.
Li Nuo and Selina signed the "Appointment Order for Law Enforcement Wizards to Assist in Defense".
Folding this appointment order becomes a pass for entering and exiting the Island Affairs Department.
With this pass, Li Nuo had unimpeded access to the island affairs department where fighting wizards acted as gatekeepers.
He's here to take on a bounty mission.
If an ordinary law enforcement wizard wants to accept bounty tasks here, he must first pay a deposit, and the range of tasks he can accept will be relatively limited.
Li Nuo does not need to be so restricted. His appointment order is the trust and recognition of Vice President Selina in him.
He can take on tasks without paying a deposit, and can intervene in tasks directly related to the Deep Sea Branch.
When Selina gave this order of appointment, she had one request for Li Nuo, which was to help the Deep Sea Branch identify items related to the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom.
After all, Selina is the vice-president of the Deep Sea Branch, and it is impossible for Li Nuo to run to her again and again. Therefore, Selina specially arranged a contact person for him in the Island Affairs Department.
If Li Nuo needs to accept a bounty mission or identify items as agreed, he can just contact this contact person.
The contact person's name is Janera, a five-ring deep sea witch, a non-combat wizard, and her position is a bounty mission agent.
She has her own office within the Island Ministry, specifically responsible for receiving law enforcement wizards with warrants.
When Li Nuo entered Janela's office, the mature witch who looked to be in her thirties flashed her eyes and recognized Li Nuo's origins.
"You must be Lenno Jarvis, right? Ms. Selina mentioned you to me." Janara has long black hair and wears a dark blue magic robe similar to a hooded windbreaker.
When she saw Li Nuo coming, she brought the tea cup with her "wizard hand" and invited him to sit down.
Li Nuo didn't want to waste time on politeness and said straight to the point:
"Yes, it's me. I came here this time to find a simple bounty mission to practice my skills."
Janara nodded and said:
"Well, I guess that's the case. Just wait a moment and I'll search it for you."
There is a transparent glass pipe extending diagonally upward from the tabletop on Janara's table, about 20 centimeters in diameter.
She raised her right hand and reached into the pipe.
Her right hand changed from flesh and blood to water flowing down the pipe.
After maintaining this action for about three minutes, a dozen barrel-shaped metal boxes brought up by the water flow appeared in the glass pipe.
The metal box leaves the pipe surrounded by water and sits vertically on the table.
Janara's right hand changed back to its original shape.
There is no trace of water stains on the tabletop, glass pipes and metal boxes.
Li Nuo praised with an appreciative tone:
"Very good ability to control deep sea magic."
"Thank you." Zhenara smiled and swept her arm across the table:
"Please take a look, these 14 bounty missions are just right for law enforcement wizards who are new to the Suman Islands. However, please do not touch the mission instructions. On these metal boxes containing mission instructions, the bounty missions are written Initiator, bounty, task briefing, task deadline, etc. Only after you are sure that you want to take on the task, you can open the metal box and read the detailed information in the task instruction book. We arrange this to prevent the personal information of the task initiator from leaking Get out there and hope you understand why we do this.”
Li Nuo nodded, raised his finger and pointed at one of the metal boxes:
"This is the mission. I'm sure."
Janera opened the metal box pointed by Li Nuo, took out the mission instruction book, and said while reading:
"This is a bounty mission issued by the captain of the Conch. He suspects that there are spies planted by other captains on the ship. He hopes to find out the spies on the ship before setting off next time. There are still two weeks before his next sailing. As long as you can find at least one spy, or prove that all crew members are OK, your mission is completed. This can bring you a reward of 1,000 gold coins. After deducting the agency fee, you can get 900 gold coins. "
Janela briefly introduced the mission situation and handed the mission instruction sheet to Li Nuo:
"There is plenty of time for this bounty mission. You can look for clues slowly. But please be careful not to use force in the inner circle, let alone use spells in the core circle. Good luck to you, Jarvis."
Li Nuo took the task order, stood up, weighed the scroll in his hand and said:
"Thanks, Janara. I'll be right back."
Janara was stunned for a moment:
"What? Come back soon?"
Li Nuo walked towards the door and waved his hand back:
"No need to send it off, I'm in a hurry."
Before Jenna could get up to see off the guests, Li Nuo opened the door and walked out, leaving the Island Affairs Department directly.
Janela was a little confused and didn't understand what Li Nuo meant by "I'll be back soon".
"What a weird wizard..."
Janara put the metal box on the table into the glass pipe and continued to deal with the official business at hand.
Half an hour later.
"Dong dong dong."
Someone knocked on Janara's office door.
The person who walked in was Li Nuo.
When Zhenara saw him, she raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but ask:
"Jarvis, is the task too difficult?"
"No, I have found out the spy." Li Nuo put the mission instruction book in his hand on the opponent's desk and made a "please read" gesture:
"In the evaluation column of the mission order, there are comments written by the captain of the Conch himself. My action report is also written on the mission order. See it for yourself. You can also verify the order with the captain of the Conch. Authenticity. But please hurry, I'm in a hurry."
Janela frowned and couldn't follow Li Nuo's thoughts for a while.
She took the instruction book and shook it open and read it again.
The captain of the Conch wrote this in the evaluation column:
"The amazing investigation process and the wonderful reasoning. I am deeply impressed by the detective methods of the law enforcement wizard Jarvis!!! Jarvis has helped me find the spy, and I ask the Island Affairs Department to reward me." Pay him the money, he deserves it!!!”
This overly positive praise and six exclamation points made Janela think that the comments in this instruction book were fake.
The action report written by Li Nuo in the instruction book was so simple that it made Janara doubt her life:
"I bumped into the second mate of the Conch and a gang of hooligans on the road. I followed him, discovered the fact that the second mate was colluding with the Seabird, and captured the other man's stolen goods. That's it."
Janela was lost for a moment, put down the instruction book in her hand slightly dully, and looked at Li Nuo across the table:
"I just happened to bump into the meeting place between the second officer and the Seabird...you just found out the spy like this?!"
"Yes, Janela." Li Nuo poked the watch on his wrist with his fingertips:
"You can ask the captain of the Conch for confirmation now, but again, don't waste time. I heard that your bounty agents' wages are piece-rate, right? The bounty tasks sent out from your hands are more and more completed. The more, the more commission you will get. Listen to me, Janara, cherish the opportunity to cooperate with me, cooperate with my work, and don’t waste your time. How much commission you can earn from your cooperation with me depends on You can send me as many tasks as you want in a day. Got it? Time is money, my friend.”
Janara appeared to be in a daze. The endorsement from Selena made her believe that Li Nuo's statement was true. However, no one has ever been able to uncover spies from more than two hundred crew members in such a short period of time!
This feat made Janela feel a little unreal, it was too bizarre, like watching a stage play.
"Dudu." Li Nuo stretched out his hand and knocked on the table.
Jenna was startled and came back to her senses:
"Oh, I... I have to check. Wait a minute, Jarvis. I believe you did complete the task and did not forge the order. But I have to check. Sorry, I have to do this."
"Please." Li Nuo sat on the chair with his legs crossed and his fingers crossed on his legs.
Janela left the office with the task order book in hand, walking quickly and quickly.
After about five minutes, she rushed over from the other end of the corridor and opened the office door with a look of shock on her face.
"I confirmed it, Jarvis. It's unbelievable that it only took you half an hour to uncover the spy."
Janela smoothed the hem of her robe on her hips and sat down.
Li Nuo raised his hand to stop the other party's words:
"Cherish your time, Janara, and your opportunity to make a fortune. Now, help me find my next bounty that requires a spy."
"Okay, okay, right away." Janela's eyes lit up. She somewhat understood Li Nuo's intentions and confidence!
The law enforcement wizard in front of him, whose appointment order was issued by Vice Dean Selina himself, does have some unknown abilities. He must cherish the opportunity to cooperate with him.
Janara reached into the glass pipe and used her liquid palm to bring three metal boxes from nowhere.
"I found three bounty tasks of different difficulties, all of which require law enforcement wizards to help me find spies. From left to right, the amounts of these three bounty tasks are 1,000 gold coins, 3,000 gold coins and 7,000 gold coins.
“The 1,000 gold coin bounty mission is similar to the one you just completed, which is to help the captain of the merchant ship find the spy.
"The bounty mission of 3,000 gold coins is related to magic economic facilities such as magic workshops and magic ecological farms. It involves a larger number of people, and spies usually use magic props to erase their traces, which makes the identification more difficult. .
"Bounty tasks of 7,000 gold coins, involving at least a thousand investigation targets, are usually issued by ocean fleets or wizarding forces. These organizations have their own escort teams to maintain internal security. But in order to make the investigation process more secretive, they usually A security team will be arranged to investigate in the open and law enforcement wizards will investigate in the dark to find out the spies.
"If you accept a 7,000 gold coin bounty mission, you must cooperate with the mission initiator. You cannot act without authorization. Otherwise, you may discover the secrets of the force and have to sign a secret soul contract with the other party."
After Janara introduced the three bounty tasks in front of her, she paused for half a second and asked:
"So, what kind of mission are you going to take on?"
Li Nuo thought for three seconds, picked up the 7,000 gold coin bounty mission, left a few words, stood up and left:
"I'll be right back."
"Bah." The door closed.
Janela took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair, and looked toward the door in trance.
After about two or three minutes, she recovered from her absence.
She put the metal box on the table into the glass pipe, and then rummaged through the glass pipe with her liquid right hand, muttering:
"Time is money...yes...time is money...I am lucky enough to meet such a mysterious and powerful law enforcement wizard. I must seize the opportunity. Let me find out what kind of reward is more generous and more suitable for Jarvis Bounty mission…”
Another half hour passed.
"Tuk tuk tuk." There was a knock on the door.
Jenna pulled down the last box on the table filled with metal boxes.
She raised her head and looked across the towering pile of metal boxes to the door.
Li Nuo walked into the house and was startled by the pile of metal boxes on the other party's table, and then burst out into a smile:
"Very good, Janara, it seems that you are in working mode. That's right. Time is money. We must adhere to efficient communication methods and earn all the money we should earn."
Janara was infected by Li Nuo's smile.
She raised the corner of her mouth, stood up, took the instruction sheet for writing positive comments and action reports from the other party, and handed over the instruction sheet that she had already picked out.
Li Nuo glanced at the text in the instruction book, nodded, and said as he left:
"The task you chose is very suitable. I will be back soon. If you are willing, you can work overtime tonight."
"Click." The door closed again.
Li Nuo walked into the corridor and vaguely heard a cheer full of joy coming from behind the door panel.
Li Nuo smiled hoarsely, shook his head, quickened his pace, and left the Island Affairs Department.
Deconstructing the performance of the core system in investigating crimes once again refreshed Li Nuo's understanding of it.
He used the deconstruction technique to scan all the people to be investigated, and spent a few energy points to get the "Identity" column on the panel information, so that he could identify the guy in question.
Suffice it to say, with just one look, he could determine whether a person was guilty or not, and with it came a huge bounty and praise from his employer.
This deconstructed core system should be renamed "One-Sight Conviction System"!
With such efficient auxiliary means at hand, it was difficult for Li Nuo to restrain his desire to use bounty tasks to earn money.
This is the method he came up with to make money.
He has come up with several other ways to make money like this.
To sum up, there are still two ways for players to accumulate resources.
In the language of gamification:
When it comes to accumulating resources, there are two strategies for players to choose from.
The first strategy is the Farm strategy known as "speed brushing", "speed passing", and "mowing the grass", and is also known as the money-making strategy. Quickly obtain benefits through high-intensity and repeated brushing of low-difficulty dungeons or wild monsters until the marginal revenue growth rate decreases or reaches zero.
The second strategy is the attack strategy, which refers to forcibly breaking through difficult copies and levels and defeating difficult enemies to obtain breakthrough benefits.
Based on these two strategies, Li Nuo had several detailed plans.
However, there is no need to start working on multiple ways of making money at the same time.
take it easy.
As long as you don't make any mistakes and follow the established and solid plan carefully, you will never be able to make enough money.
