Before setting off on this trip, Li Nuo did some calculations.
He now has five islands in total.
Snow Mountain Island No. 1, and four small islands.
He plans to provide non-metallic ore distribution maps of these four small islands to prove his exploration capabilities to the Deep Sea Branch.
Completely deconstructing these four small islands requires a total of approximately 4.5 billion energy points.
According to Li Nuo’s experience:
He doesn't really need to prepare 4.5 billion energy points to deconstruct the island.
After unlocking the standardized panel information of "small islands", and then deconstructing islands of the same type, the deconstruction consumption will be greatly reduced.
Li Nuo thought that if he could prepare 2.25 billion to 3.6 billion, he would be able to figure out the distribution of ores on the four islands.
The discovered ore resources on these four small islands have long been exploited by Dikla Fagan.
This means that the distribution of ores that Li Nuo can obtain through deconstruction should all be mines that have not been explored by the Pangula family.
No matter how much information about the mineral veins Li Nuo finally provided to the Deep Sea Branch, it was enough to prove his exploration capabilities.
So how do you collect at least 2.25 billion energy points in five days?
Li Nuo's answer is, do it hard.
As long as you can't do it to death, do it to death.
Practicing the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method can accelerate the absorption of the corrosiveness of sea water and increase the deconstruction completion rate of the sea area by 0.1% per hour.
It takes 1,000 hours to passively deconstruct a sea area. How is this possible?
Li Nuo decided to adopt a more radical strategy.
Strategy one:
Use breathing techniques to absorb the magic of the deep sea.
After Li Nuo mastered the "Magic Heart", he tested the effect of using the "Calm Breathing Method" to absorb the magic power of the deep sea.
as far as I can tell:
The number of magic points absorbed per hour = the level of "Calm Breathing Technique" * 10 * environmental bonus.
Moreover, for every hour of absorbing the magic power of the deep sea, the deconstruction completion rate of the sea area increases by an additional 0.1%.
This strategy is very safe.
Apart from the consumption of energy to absorb and store magic power, there are no costs or negative effects.
However, the speed of improvement in deconstruction completion still cannot meet Li Nuo's needs.
So there are strategies two and three, which are:
Swallowing seawater and withstanding water pressure.
Li Nuo has also tried these two methods.
how to say…
The sea water is very hard to drink, and the damage to the body is visible to the naked eye. The water pressure will make the bones in the body rattle and be close to breaking.
However, passive deconstruction works brilliantly.
Swallowing sea water will increase deconstruction completion by 0.1% every 10 minutes.
The effect of withstanding water pressure is equivalent to this.
These two things can be done at the same time, and the total completion rate will be increased by 0.2% every 10 minutes, which is 1.2% per hour.
But considering that his bladder is not made of stainless steel, and it does not have a huge capacity like a magic bag, Li Nuo will only withstand water pressure most of the time instead of swallowing sea water...
On average, after using the above methods, the completion rate of deconstructing the sea area increases by about 1.5% per hour.
100 divided by 1.5, that's 66.67 hours.
Let’s convert it:
In less than 3 days, Li Nuo can 100% deconstruct a sea area.
With plenty of time and Dinas as his companion, Li Nuo was able to cope with various emergencies.
Xingluohai has 35 sea areas.
The closer to the Whirling Continent, the more corrosive the sub-sea area is, and the greater the deconstruction consumption.
Li Nuo sailed the boat past the Moss-covered Blue Cave and continued southward until the wind speed on the sea increased significantly and did not stop.
The spinning continent is like a high-power, long-torque cyclone engine, spinning day and night.
The outermost flying island is flying at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
The air waves it set off spread to the nearby sea area thousands of kilometers away, causing waves on the sea surface to rise one after another and huge waves to surge.
In the eyes of the locals in Unas Ring, within a thousand kilometers of the Whirling Continent is an area called the "Strong Wind Sea Area".
This sea area is distributed around the Whirling Continent in an overall ring shape. It is one of the most deadly restricted areas for life and ships.
Li Nuo chose to stop more than ten kilometers north of the strong wind sea and activated the magic yacht's diving circle.
The yacht's exterior armor plates cover most of the portholes, leaving only two windows in the control room.
Dinasi hugged the cat and lay on the bed, looking at the huge black shadow that was rapidly choosing itself on the horizon. It was the famous Whirling Continent.
"Li, I heard that the Whirling Continent throws out treasures from time to time. Do we have a chance to see those treasures with luminous tails this time?" Dinas asked.
Li Nuo took out his telescope and observed the spinning continent while the yacht was diving:
"There are no light spots on the Whirling Continent. We probably have no chance to see the treasure flying in the sky."
"Oh~ okay."
The seawater outside the yacht gradually flooded the hull.
The majestic whirling continent was soon obscured by the dark green sea water.
After the Magic Yacht dived to about 3 meters underwater, Li Nuo did not immediately enter the water pressure chamber to prepare for the dive.
He pressed a few times on the control panel to activate the water flow array that propelled the ship forward underwater.
The speed of the magic yacht is very slow, almost like a snail crawling.
Li Nuo stared closely at the magic image on the magic navigation instrument, and controlled the magic yacht to move closer to the position he expected.
What is he doing?
He was working hard, performing a sexy operation.
This set of tricks works like this:
On the Magic Navigator, the Magic Yacht is represented by a dot two centimeters in diameter.
The boundary line of each sub-sea area is represented by a line segment with a diameter of several millimeters. The boundary lines of different sub-sea areas will have different colors.
Li Nuo's current location is the intersection of four sea areas.
Reflected on the magic navigation instrument, it is a dot with a diameter of two centimeters, falling on the boundary lines of four different colors of sub-sea areas.
Li Nuo himself can be regarded as a cylinder about two meters high and half a meter in diameter.
So!
Here comes the problem!
If he were a cylinder like this, just stuck on the boundary line of the four sub-sea areas, let different parts of his body be located in the four sub-sea areas.
In this case, when he triggers passive deconstruction, can he simultaneously improve the completion of deconstruction in the four sea areas?
Li Nuo thought that the success rate of this operation was more than 90%.
Because when the lost sea fog in a certain sea area is triggered, the lost sea fog will only stay within that sea area and will not spread to the adjacent sea areas.
Li Nuo had previously stayed on the outskirts of the Lost Sea when he followed the Gold Merchant's Sword to investigate the Blackwater Liquor cargo ship at sea.
He was deeply impressed by the appearance of the Lost Sea Fog, which was the same as the gray fog wall. He even remembered his suicide maneuver of sticking his head into the sea fog while his body stayed outside the sea fog.
The sea areas are clearly distinct, and there is a line that separates the different sea areas.
Comparing the magic images on the magic navigation instrument to find the intersection of the four sea areas is what Li Nuo is doing now.
He closed the water flow circle in advance, allowing the magic yacht to move forward at a turtle speed due to inertia.
In the end, the magic yacht on the magic navigation instrument accurately stopped at the boundary line of the four sea areas.
"It's done." Li Nuo looked at the sweet witch playing with the cat:
"Dinas, just wait for me on the boat with the Snowwing Cat. If I need your help, I will call you using "Soul Sensing". "
"Okay~" Dinasi came over with Maomao in her arms and put a sticker on Li Nuo's shoulder:
"Be sure to pay attention to safety. I'm afraid there are deep-sea monsters in the water."
"Well, don't worry." Li Nuo gently hugged the other party's shoulders:
"If I let you teleport here and take me away, you must remember to tear up the magic scroll I gave you in advance and cast the necessary deep sea spells on yourself. I don't want to see you crushed into mud by the sea water."
"Yeah, yeah! I remember!" Dinasi nodded repeatedly.
Li Nuo pressed a button on the control panel to adjust the magic engine to the dormant state, and then activated the invisible magic circle on the hull.
He moved to the water pressure chamber and stepped into it.
Dinas followed Li Nuo here like a follower.
She watched as Li Nuo, who was just across the door, was surrounded by the seawater flowing out of the pipe mouth. As the external hatch opened and closed, he entered the seawater outside the ship.
"Maomao! We have to stay vigilant and we must not hold Li back."
Dinas inserted the Snowwing cat's armpit, lifted it up, put it in front of her and shook it.
"Meow meow meow!" the Snowwing cat responded to her with a high-pitched cry.
…
…
The moment your body is surrounded by seawater, the never-ending gurgling sound lingers in your ears, and the cold touch of seawater travels throughout your body.
Li Nuo's hundred-point "toughness" was enough to suppress the discomfort caused by shallow seawater.
He only activated the "Deep Sea Breathing" spell and could move freely in water three meters deep.
He threw multiple deconstruction techniques in four directions: front, back, left, and right.
【system information:】
[You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on "Xingluo Sea No. 13 sub-sea area"]
[You are about to launch the deconstruction technique on "Xingluo Sea No. 14 sub-sea area"...]
【…】
Several paragraphs of system messages were refreshed in succession, and Li Nuo was sure that he was surrounded by sub-sea areas No. 13 to No. 16 of Xingluo Sea.
"Very good, I have basically positioned the four sea areas, but this is not enough. I have to mark the four sea areas more accurately."
Li Nuo sketched the spell blueprint of "Psychic Tracking" in his mind and threw a large number of "Tracking Markers" into the surrounding seawater.
Only Li Nuo can see the "tracking mark". It is a white bright spot that emits a faint light.
The "tracking mark" will always hover at the place specified by Li Nuo.
Compared with the constantly rolling sea water, the "tracking mark" will be in an absolutely stationary state, which is suitable for use as a tool for drawing coordinate axes.
Ten minutes later.
A three-dimensional coordinate system that only Li Nuo could see appeared in his field of vision.
The Z-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system, that is, the vertical white line segment, is the intersection line of the four sea areas.
The Z-axis extends downward, and the tail end points to the low-light area where sunlight is difficult to reach.
Let this coordinate axis pass through the body, so that your body is in four sub-sea areas at the same time, and you can passively deconstruct four sub-sea areas at the same time.
Of course, all this is only theoretically feasible before experimental conclusions are obtained.
Li Nuo moved the sea water, flexibly dived, and came to the Z-axis.
He adjusted his posture, stuck his body on the coordinate axis, and activated the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method.
【system information:】
[You are practicing the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method. 】
[The level of meditation method is level 20, 12500/21000]
[It has been detected that you are absorbing the corrosiveness of the 13th to 16th sub-sea areas of Xingluo Sea. 】
[The experience value bonus for practicing the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method this time is 300%, which is four times the normal amount. 】
[You will simultaneously launch passive deconstruction of sub-sea areas No. 13 to No. 16 in Xingluo Sea. 】
"Oh ho~ It's done~"
Li Nuo laughed in his heart and waved his fist excitedly.
The system messages in my mind are not over.
[The consumption of practicing the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method this time has also increased, which is also four times that of normal circumstances. 】
[It is expected that every 5 minutes, your soul strength will be -20 points, your energy value will be reduced by -200 points, and your "Tenacity" attribute value will be temporarily -4 points. 】
[Please note that when "Tenacity" reaches zero, you will die immediately. 】
Li Nuo's "Tenacity" is now 100 points.
So at four times the training intensity, 124 minutes of continuous training is his limit.
When "tenacity" is slowly declining, using water pressure to increase the degree of deconstruction completion can be said to be extremely dangerous.
If he's not careful, Li Nuo's increasingly fragile body will be crushed by the huge water pressure.
Just because he anticipated the existence of this layer of dangerous factors, Li Nuo brought his accompanying witch with him in case of any eventuality.
Li Nuo took a deep breath in the water, put his head down, feet up, moved his arms in front of him, and swam towards a deeper and darker area.
The water pressure gradually increased and the light became dimmer.
Li Nuo felt like he had an extra tight suit on his body.
The size of the "tights" shrunk little by little, getting tighter and tighter, as if it could get into his skin.
The smooth breathing effect brought by "deep sea diving" is leaving Li Nuo.
He had to use more force to pump his chest to keep breathing.
The heartbeat is pounding faster and the blood is rushing.
The sound of the sea water stirring in my ears was accompanied by a lingering sharp tinnitus.
"Hu...ba...hu...ba..."
Li Nuo breathed hard.
【system information:】
[You are suffering from "water pressure" attacks from four sea areas. 】
"Well, not bad, as expected. It seems that I controlled the body parts very well and didn't miss any area of the sea."
Li Nuo slowly waved his arms and kicked his legs to control his body at the current depth.
He lowered his head and glanced at the pitch-black water, his eyes scanning the white coordinate axis extending straight downward.
With "Tracking Marker", "Psychic Sight" and "Perception Enhancement", he doesn't have to worry about encountering any terrible deep sea monsters.
He had plenty of time to react before the monster attacked him.
After waiting quietly for 10 minutes, a crisp clicking sound came from Li Nuo's body, and the first damage settlement came in response.
[You received slight damage from the four sea areas. 】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[Your deconstruction completion of the "Xingluo Sea No. 13", "No. 14", "No. 15" and "No. 16" sub-sea areas increases by 0.1%. 】
"Haha~ It can indeed be like this! Now I will make a lot of money! Deconstruct four sea areas at once! Get four energy points as rewards!"
Li Nuo smiled in the water, and a few bubbles popped up.
He was both happy and proud, but he did not let down his guard, nor did he get carried away.
He did not randomly choose the four sea areas as his experimental subjects.
After taking into account the decreasing energy value rewards, Li Nuo determined:
Only by deconstructing No. 13 to No. 16 at once, the four most extensive areas of Xingluo Haizi, can I get the most energy rewards in a short period of time.
Li Nuo calmed down, paying attention to the data on the panel while carefully feeling the pain of sea water crushing his bones.
Judging from his experience in practicing underwater, when the "Tenacity" attribute value is cut in half, the impact of water pressure on the body will suddenly increase.
The intense pain that pierces the heart and penetrates deep into the bone marrow directly hits the soul and is difficult to resist.
The surrounding dim and filthy sea water, and the bottomless black abyss beneath our feet, have limited physical damage to the body, but the pressure they create on the spiritual level cannot be ignored.
As a steady man, Li Nuo would naturally not push himself into a desperate situation.
After about 60 minutes, when Tenacity was about to be cut in half, Li Nuo swam toward the sun-spotted sea above.
After returning to the water pressure chamber and taking a short rest, Li Nuo called up the system messages to check.
["Scale of the Deep" meditation method experience +488 points]
[Your deconstruction completion rate for the four film sea areas has reached 1%. 】
"Oh? It has been increased to 1%, not 0.7%. It seems that the degree of deconstruction completion brought about by practicing meditation has also been tripled by the training intensity."
Li Nuo nodded slowly and did not dwell on the number issue.
As long as he knows that his sexy operation is feasible, he will be fine.
After the completion level reaches 1%, the system prompts that a small part of the panel information has been unlocked.
When Li Nuo upgraded the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method to level 20, he had obtained the panel information of the sea area of a certain movie.
On this kind of panel, data such as the size of the sub-sea area, seawater volume, fish, shellfish, seawater corrosion effects, etc. are generally recorded.
The completion rate of the four panel information currently obtained is only 1%, which should be far less detailed than the previous panel information.
After subconsciously opening the panel information of sub-sea area No. 13 to view the information, Li Nuo found something out of the ordinary.
…
[Name] Sub-sea area No. 13 of Xingluo Sea
【illustrate】
The maximum width of this sea area is 57 kilometers, and the underwater ecological environment is barren. There may be caves, mineral veins, and deep-sea monsters that have not yet been discovered.
It seems that this sea area will usher in the treasures of the Whirlpool Continent one day in the future.
(The completion of deconstruction is insufficient, the panel letter is seriously missing and there may be serious deviations.)
…
"What does 'it seems like there will be a treasure one day in the future'?"
Li Nuo looked at the sentence on the panel information, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Is the system predicting the future?
How can the deconstructed core system have the function of predicting the future...
It's really strange.
Li Nuo clicked on the panel information of the four sea areas in turn.
The same words appeared in the four panels with a completion rate of only 1%.
Li Nuo scratched his head.
He felt that the system was predicting the future.
But when he thought about it more deeply, he felt that the system was farting...
How did the name Xingluohai come about?
Isn't it just because the Whirling Continent throws treasures here from time to time...
Therefore, the system's words that seem to be predicting the future are probably just stating facts...
After Li Nuo figured it out, he shrugged slightly and didn't take it to heart.
He used "Soul Sensing" to call Dinas over and give himself a massage, uh, no, it was to treat the injuries in his body.
If you stay in a high-pressure environment for a long time, two negative effects will appear on the "Status Bar":
"Minor bone damage" and "Minor visceral damage".
After Dinas reached the fourth level of wizard, the healing effect of the resurrection spell has been significantly improved.
She just used her soft little hands to brush over Li Nuo's painful area, and then easily repaired Li Nuo's internal and external injuries.
Not only that, her healing spell will add a new positive effect called "Continuous Rebirth" to Li Nuo.
This positive effect can last up to 1 hour.
Within this hour, once Li Nuo receives moderate damage or gains a negative effect, the damage and negative effects will be offset by the positive effect of "continuous rebirth".
"Continuous Rebirth" can be stacked.
Each level can negate one moderate damage or one negative effect.
Dinasi repeatedly casts "Reverse Death Barrier" on Li Nuo to add layers of "Continuous Rebirth". The consumption of a single cast is 4 points of Rebirth Magic.
Dinasi can currently superimpose up to 4 layers of such effects on Li Nuo, which is equivalent to her wizard level.
Li Nuo asked Dinasi to stack 4 layers of "Continuous Rebirth" for him, and then left the magic yacht.
This time, he planned to absorb the magic power of the deep sea and swallow seawater while withstanding the water pressure and practicing meditation.
The simultaneous operation of four lines can definitely maximize the deconstruction efficiency.
"Ah~ I am really a time management master~~~" (End of this chapter)
