At the same time that Li Nuo was working on a bounty mission to investigate spies, Nellie, the receptionist in charge of selling islands, flew to an island in the inner circle of the Suman Islands.
She landed on the outermost side of the island, handed the money and contracts for the sale of the three islands to the magic servants on the island, and then turned around and flew back to the trading area of Suman City.
The magic servant wearing magic metal armor, carrying a magic bag containing coins and contracts, walked towards the slightly dilapidated castle on the island.
"哓哧哓哧..." The magic servant's steps were heavy, and each step made a clanking sound of metal armor.
It came to the door of the castle, opened the side door with a creak, and walked through the closed corridor illuminated by candlesticks.
After walking forward for about two minutes, light appeared at the end of the passage, and a spell training room that bloomed with sparks from time to time was waiting for it.
In the spell training room, the elderly man is helping the young wizard to train his spell-casting movements.
"Crack..." Weak sparks burst out in the direction pointed by the wand, leaving a slightly invisible scorch mark on the wall.
"Miss, when activating the magic power in the wand, you need to assume the correct casting posture. The movement of your right arm just now was a little deformed."
"Okay, Keda, I'll try again..." A young lady with a somewhat immature appearance, no more than 1.5 meters tall, with a thin figure, the light red magic robe on her body is a bit too wide, and the hem almost reaches the ground.
She looked at the magic servant who was coming from the corridor, her eyes fell on the magic bag in his hand, and she blinked.
She recognized the pattern on the magic pocket, which was the symbol of the Island Exchange.
The "Fire Missile" shot just now lost its due accuracy, all because the footsteps coming from the corridor made the young spellcaster lose his mind.
The old butler waved his hand and arranged the magic servants who entered the spell training room to stand next to the wall:
"Concentrate, Miss. I know there are magical servants coming. I will take care of it. Now, let's get back to class. After today's wand training is completed, we will deal with other things. Okay?"
"Oh, okay. Keda, there are only two of us here, you should call me Xi'an." The young spellcaster clenched his wand and pointed at the spell target.
The old housekeeper named Keda has white hair and looks to be over seventy years old, but he has a strong body, a straight back, and is much taller than the owner who is only less than 1.5 meters tall.
He smiled kindly, shook his head slightly and said:
"You are already 12 years old, miss. After you complete your magical enlightenment, you are officially qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family. Although the successor order is lower, ranking outside the twenty, this does not prevent me from bringing you to the throne. Treat you as a qualified heir to the family. From now on, no matter whether there are outsiders or not, I will call you Miss."
Xi'an pursed her lips and curled her lips, "Okay. I understand."
"Please continue." Keda pointed at the spell target on the wall.
Qian'an calmed down, and the tip of her pretty nose shone under the light of the flames condensed on the wand. After the flame bombs became a little scorching, she raised her arm forward and fired the "fire missiles" she had been storing up for a long time.
The flame bomb, which was about the size of an adult's fist, dragged its tail flame and hit the spell target with a bang, exploding into brilliant sparks with a diameter of more than half a meter.
The spell target was shaken back and forth by the impact of the flames, and the magic text "67 points" appeared in the center of the target.
"Please try again, miss. This time, let the flame bomb stay on the tip of the wand for a longer time before launching it. You have to adapt to the heat brought by the flame bomb in order to become a qualified fire wizard." Kai Da patiently warned.
The word "fire wizard" seemed to touch Qian's sadness. Her expression darkened and her arms hung down feebly:
"Why do I have talent in fire magic, Keda. Is there something wrong with the crystal used to detect magic talent? As a member of the Pangola family, shouldn't I have talent in rock, earth and metal? Talent?"
Keda said warmly:
"Don't feel depressed, Miss. Having no talent in metal and earth magic will certainly make you lose ownership of many islands during your 12th birthday ceremony. But having only talent in fire magic is not a bad thing. It allows you to focus on the field of fire and achieve achievements faster. Even if you cannot occupy a place in the Pangola family in the future, you can still gain a foothold in Hotams or other wizarding forces. Now, please continue training, we are here today There are still many training tasks that need to be completed.”
"Oh... Got it..."
Xi'an nodded, put her mind back together, and raised her wand again.
The fire in the spell training room flickered and did not stop until lunch that day.
Xi'an wiped the sweat on her cheeks with a towel and spread the ponytail tied behind her head.
Keda summoned the magic servant standing in the corner, opened the magic pocket in the opponent's hand, and took out the coins and contract.
"Good news, Miss. Before the family handed over the ownership of Snow Mountain Island No. 1 to you, your brother collected all the resources on the island. We thought that Snow Mountain Island No. 1 would not be sold because of this. Now it seems, We were lucky enough to have a buyer take over the depleted island."
Keda raised the corner of his mouth and handed the contract to Qian'an for review:
"In addition, this buyer also purchased small islands numbered 112333 and 112332. The resources on these two islands were also collected by your brother. This generous buyer helped us solve part of the problem financial pressure."
"Then I really want to thank this buyer. He is such a good person. Do we want to send him a letter to thank him?" Qian'an seemed to understand.
Facing Qian'an's question, Keda was dumbfounded:
"No, miss. This is a normal island transaction. You agree with me. We don't have to send a letter of thanks to this buyer in order to alleviate our own financial problems."
"Oh well."
"Please follow me, miss. It's lunch time now..." Keda accompanied Qian to the restaurant of the castle, and the spell training room became quiet.
…
…
Li Nuo didn't know that a young lady from the Pangola family wanted to write a thank-you letter to him.
He just wants to make money now.
At night time on the same day, 8pm.
Li Nuo returned to the stone house in the inner circle, exhausted and full of gains.
After enjoying Dinas' dinner, Li Nuo took out the heavy coin bag and handed it to the other party:
"Put them away, Dinah. This is today's harvest."
Dinas opened the coin bag and took a look, her mouth widened:
"So many gold coins. How did you do it, Lee?"
"Hey, it's a joke. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will bring back as many gold coins as today."
Li Nuo smiled proudly, picked up the Snowwing cat that was in pupa at his feet, and took a few deep breaths.
"You must be exhausted, have a good rest tonight..." Dinas said softly, and came forward, hugging Li Nuo's shoulders distressedly, sandwiching the Snowwing cat in the middle.
Li Nuo held Maomao in one hand and patted Dinas on the back:
"It's not as tiring as you think. It's just going back and forth between the inner circle and the outer circle..."
There was no moisture in Li Nuo's words.
Investigating spies was indeed not tiring, but traveling at high speeds between the inner and outer circles was a bit overwhelming for him.
Today's busy schedule involved flying at least four to five hundred kilometers. The "fuel consumption" of casting flying spells directly reduces the inventory of soul strength.
It can be seen from this that Li Nuo handled many spy bounty tasks from morning to night.
Not too much, not too much, just 20 pieces.
Among them, 11 pieces have a bounty of 1,000 gold coins, 5 pieces have a bounty of 3,000 gold coins, and 4 pieces have a bounty of 7,000 gold coins.
After excluding Janara's commission, Li Nuo received a total of 48,600 gold coins.
I earned nearly 50,000 gold coins in one day!
A miraculous daily income!
On the one hand, this is related to the convenience provided by deconstructing the core system, and on the other hand, it is also inseparable from Li Nuo's diligence.
Li Nuo is such a person. Once a plan is determined, he will implement it with all his strength. Regardless of the wind and rain, he must clear the backlog of cost-effective bounty tasks on the archipelago within the three-day deadline he set for himself.
After completing the 20 bounty missions for investigating spies today, there are still about 60 similar bounty missions left in Janara.
A small part of them are investigating spies, about half are looking for lost objects or finding their owners for lost objects, and the rest are mostly related to investigating the causes of accidents.
After completing all these tasks, Li Nuo estimates that he will receive nearly 100,000 gold coins.
After this, Li Nuo had to find another plan to make quick money.
It's not that there are no bounty missions in Janara, but that cost-effective bounty missions such as investigating spies, investigating the cause of accidents, and finding the owner have been cleared by Li Nuo. It will take some time for such tasks to accumulate.
The basis for Li Nuo's classification of cost performance is very simple.
If you can use deconstruction to get the answer at once, it is a cost-effective bounty mission. This type of task takes a short time, consumes less energy, and ends quickly. It is a well-deserved high cost performance.
In addition, any task that requires Li Nuo to go to sea with a ship or that cannot find the answer at once using deconstruction techniques is classified by Li Nuo as a low cost-effective task. They take precedence over other money-making options.
Unless all schemes for making quick money have failed, Li Nuo will not accept low-cost bounty tasks.
This is how he makes money.
"Dinas, I have bought the island today. I would like to discuss the plan to build the island with you."
Li Nuo moved to sit on the sofa and told his plan:
"I think it would be better to push the island building thing back. There are three reasons. First, once the island is built, you need to use the spirit transposition ritual to make alchemy stones. Only in this way can we activate the ten Sage particles. This will occupy part of your spiritual ocean, which is not conducive to your taking the wizard level exam. It will be better to activate the sage particles after you are promoted to a fourth-ring wizard."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll listen to you." Dinasi rested her head on Li Nuo's shoulder.
Li Nuo scratched the Snowwing cat's belly and said:
"Secondly, I took a closer look at the island's security services. Although there are strongholds and magic posts of the Deep Sea Branch near the island I bought, security is still a big problem. The main reason is that our current strength levels are too weak. , is not enough to stand alone on the east side of the remote archipelago. Therefore, it is best for us to live in the core circle or inner circle for a while, and then move to the island when we are fully prepared."
Dinas thought for a while and then responded:
"Hmm... In that case, do you need me to go to the inner circle tomorrow to check out the house? Do you want to rent it for a long time or buy one?"
Li Nuo said:
"It would be better to buy a house. The coins I gave you just now are for you to buy a house. You can save the remaining money from buying a house. I will have other uses in two days."
"Well, okay~"
While Li Nuo was talking, he took out the map he bought from Janara today, spread it out with "Wizard's Hand" and suspended it in front of the two of them.
There are several pencil circles on the map.
Li Nuo pointed to the circle on the map and said:
"The geographical location of these places is relatively good, and the security is also very good. In addition, about our houses in the inner circle, I have something to tell you in advance..."
Li Nuo came close to Dinas' ear and whispered:
"That's it, do you understand? I may suddenly let you sneak back into the inner circle to live for a long time, and make the houses in the inner circle look like you are living there for a long time. You must be prepared to give up the houses in the inner circle at any time Mental preparation.”
"Yes! I understand! I will definitely cooperate with you!" Dinasi nodded repeatedly.
Li Nuo smiled with satisfaction, and then said:
"The third reason for delaying the construction of the island is that I plan to buy an island in the inner circle, which will cost at least one million gold coins. If everything goes well in the next six months, I will not only be able to collect enough money to buy the island, but also Earn the money to build the island. Until I build the impregnable island, the stone houses in the core circle are our real foothold."
Dinasi looked at Li Nuo doubtfully:
"But didn't you just buy three islands on the east side of the archipelago... Why did you buy another island in the inner circle?"
Li Nuo held up the other person's face, rubbed it and said with a smile:
"This matter is too complicated to explain and involves many things. You will gradually know the reason later."
"Ang~ Then I won't ask any more questions. I believe you whatever you say."
"With your words, I feel relieved. Go and rest first, I'll be back in a moment." Li Nuo stood up, put the Snowwing cat in the cat carrier, and then sent Dinas upstairs, while he himself Entered the study.
Pulling open the desk chair and sitting down, Li Nuo took out a 20 gold coin from his magic pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.
Holding the gold coin tightly, he called up the personal panel in his mind and activated the "Metal Fusion" meditation method. Li Nuo started the upgrade of the meditation method tonight.
【system information:】
[You are about to fuse a gold coin with a face value of 20. 】
[The item level of this gold coin is level 25, its mass is 25 grams, and it provides 625 meditation experience points. 】
[You need to consume 3125 energy points to fuse it. 】
[Your current energy value is 119500/56 (40+16) points. 】
[Are you sure to proceed with the fusion? 】
When Li Nuo obtained the "Metal Fusion" meditation method, he came to the conclusion through calculation:
When energy is abundant but gold coins are in short supply, using 20 gold coins to practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method is the most cost-effective.
Li Nuo silently chanted "Confirm Fusion" in his mind.
The gold coin melted in the palm of his hand, entering it with a weak heat wave and disappearing under Li Nuo's skin.
[Forced fusion successful! 】
["Metal Fusion" meditation method experience +625, now 645/1000 at level 0. 】
[You caused fatal damage to the "gold coin with a denomination of 20". 】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
【1. Target panel information. 】
【2. Energy value reward is 150,000 points. Since you have unlocked the standardized panel information for "Gold Coin of Face Value 1". The value of the energy reward this time has been reduced, which is equal to the difference in energy consumption when you deconstruct "a gold coin with a face value of 20" and a "gold coin with a face value of 1". 】
To deconstruct a gold coin with a face value of 1, Li Nuo needs to consume 100,000 energy points.
Deconstructing a 20 gold coin requires 250,000 energy points.
The difference between these two values is 150,000 energy points, which exactly matches the energy value reward this time.
Li Nuo was not surprised by the results of this passive deconstruction.
He took out another gold coin with a face value of 20 and activated the "Metal Fusion" meditation method again.
[Forced fusion successful! 】
["Metal Fusion" meditation method experience +625, now 270/2000 at level 1. 】
[The level of meditation method increases, you will receive the following upgrade rewards:]
[1. "Will" +0. Your current "Will" is 3 points. You cannot obtain the "Will" attribute bonus until the level of meditation reaches level 4. 】
[2. "Tenacity" +0. Your current "Toughness" is 19 points. You will not be able to obtain the "Toughness" attribute bonus until you reach level 20 in Meditation. 】
【3. "Strength" +0. Your current "Strength" is 5 points. You cannot receive the "Strength" attribute bonus until your meditation level reaches level 6. 】
Cough cough cough…
This special code…
Li Nuo glanced at the system messages in his mind and almost couldn't breathe.
6250 energy points and 40 gold coins were exchanged for three "+0s", which somewhat dampened Li Nuo's enthusiasm for cultivation.
However, Li Nuo had already expected this and made sufficient psychological preparation for himself.
He took out several other 20 gold coins and continued to practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method.
About five or six minutes passed.
【system information:】
[You consumed 32 "gold coins with a face value of 20" and 100,000 energy points to gain 20,000 meditation experience points. 】
[The level of "Metal Fusion" meditation method is +5, now it is level 6, 270/7000. 】
[You get the following upgrade rewards:]
【1.「Will」+3】
【2."Toughness" +0】
[3. "Strength" +1, now 6 points. 】
[4. Since "Will" +3 and "Strength" +1, your energy limit is +4]
[Your current energy value is 163375/60 (40+20)]
Finally, the two basic attributes increased at the same time.
Li Nuo sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Nuo thought that starting from level 20, every level up of the "Metal Fusion" meditation method would increase "will", "strength" and "tenacity" by 1 point each, and increase the upper limit of energy by 3 points. I feel that the future is full of hope.
Practicing the Twilight Giant's body-building movements can improve "strength" and "tenacity."
Practicing the breathing method of the Twilight Giant can improve "vitality".
Now that I think about it, it would be best to slow down the practice of physical exercise and practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method first.
In order to prevent the conflict between the physical exercise and the "Metal Fusion" meditation method, the latter's cost performance will plummet.
As for the "Twilight Breathing Method", Li Nuo thinks it can be practiced normally.
Because currently, "Twilight Breathing Technique" is the only thing in his hand that can steadily increase "vitality".
Li Nuo planned his future training plan and clicked on his personal panel to take a look.
…
【Soul Strength】4122
[Soul Revival] 0.6 points every 24 hours
[Energy value] 129000/60 (40+20)
【Toughness】19
【Vitality】10
【Strength】6
【Dexterity】13
【Spirit】40
【Charm】23
【Will】6
…
After closing the panel information and leaving the study, Li Nuo went to the bathroom to clean up and then entered the bedroom.
There will be no soul strength recorded in the past few days, so Li Nuo has temporarily put aside practicing the "Sound of Silence" meditation method.
After waiting two days, Li Nuo achieved his goal of making money with bounty tasks and started his next money-making plan. Naturally, his soul strength would be recorded in his account.
By then, as long as everything goes well, Li Nuo is confident that his gold coins, basic attributes, and meditation level will increase simultaneously.
