Constructing-Style Wizard

: 165. Urgent Question

“According to your latest island plan, how much more funding do we need?”

Noland Lee sat in the study room of the single cottage and lazily stretched.

Denise Green held her account book and pen, writing a few lines on the notebook:

“The lowest construction standard for the new island plan requires a total of 200,000 gold coins. We are now just 10,000 cash short of accumulating the full amount.”

Noland Lee smiled and said:

“Unknowingly, we’re only 10,000 short… No big deal. Let me go underground a few more times and bring back some alchemy weaponry. Then, we’ll be able to earn this 10,000 gold coins.”

For the past half month, Noland Lee was constantly on the move like a spinning top.

By day, he would venture underground for sage particles and alchemy facilities. At night, he would practice breathing methods, forging body movements, and meditation, without wasting any time.

The rewards of these busy days were evident.

[Attributes]

Toughness: 19. The progress bar of Forging Body Movement filled up three times, adding a total of +3 to Toughness Attribute Value.

Vitality: 10. Breathing Method’s cultivation progress reached Level 1 with 882/1000, adding +1 to Vitality Attribute Value.

Power: 5. The progress bar of Forging Body Movement filled up three times, adding a total of +3 to Power Attribute Value.

Agility: 13. No change.

Spirit: 40. Successfully practiced Martyrdom Meditation Method 17 times, adding +17 to Mental Attribute Value.

Charm: 23. Due to a change in body type, Charm Attribute Value +2.

[Soul Strength] 4518

[Energy Points] 37812/53 (40+13)

Energy Points greatly diminished while Soul Strength’s storage also saw a decline. Nevertheless, the price paid for the increase in panel attributes was absolutely worth it.

Moreover, Noland Lee’s gains were not only limited to panel data changes.

He had collected a total of eight Sage Spaces from the Fissure Corridor.

Among them, three were alchemy water wells, all with roughly equal output, equal to small magic water purifiers. The more freshwater available in the deep sea, the better. These three alchemy water wells could be sold at the Oceanic Magic Exchange in Suman Archipelago for a good price, even if they were no longer needed in the future.

Among the other five Sage Spaces, two produced building materials, while three produced fruits, vegetables, and wheat.

The production of building materials in the Sage Space was relatively small and may not have much use on the Suman Archipelago.

However, those three Sage Spaces producing food ingredients and grains were valuable treasures in the deep sea.

Watering fruit orchards and farmland required freshwater, which was scarce on the Suman Archipelago. This resulted in the high price of food ingredients on the islands.

One could say that if Noland Lee could bring ten food-producing Sage Particles to the Suman Archipelago at once, he would be able to enter the ranks of wealthy merchants in the Realm of Wizards by simply relying on selling food ingredients every day, in the foreseeable future.

Of course, it would be a modest fortune, incomparable to the extravagance of Mabel.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Noland Lee wanted to collect more food-producing Sage Particles, but things didn’t go as planned. There were no more similar Sage Particles in Sector 6’s Fissure Corridor.

As for going to Sector 5 to search for Sage Particles, Noland Lee had no such plan.

That’s because 30 years ago, it was where leather and wood processing took place. There were no large underground entertainment venues or underground dining halls there.

Compared to Sector 6, the Sage Particles in Sector 5 were more inclined to produce alchemy leather and alchemy wood, which Noland Lee had no use for.

There might be many more food-producing Sage Particles in the underground passages of other sectors. However, considering that these sectors were owned territories, Noland Lee did not loot them.

Thus, the looting of Sage Particles came to an end.

Noland Lee just needed to go to the Fissure Corridor again and bring back some alchemy weaponry to raise the minimum funds needed for the island purchase plan.

Where could he find alchemy weaponry worth 10,000 gold coins?

Hehe.

Noland Lee chuckled secretly.

He had an idea.

Three days ago, he used the ‘Illusionary Body Technique’ on the illusion ring to infiltrate the vertical shaft leading to Black City.

The alchemists of the Alchemy Cathedral were modifying the alchemy array in the spire. They wanted to use a more robust array space to seal the Blood Sun Divine Seal Descendants.

Only when this step is completed can the alchemists restart the machinery factory area producing universal metal powder.

Noland Lee took advantage of the absence of legal alchemists in the machinery factory area to go in and take a tour. He killed many illegal alchemists and obtained a warehouse entry card for alchemy weaponry.

By searching the warehouse, he should be able to earn the 10,000 gold coins needed.

In addition to the alchemy card that opened the warehouse, Noland Lee also found the Blackbone Secret Society’s hideout.

These people, who used Black Bone Piece as their alchemy stone, placed their hideout in a corner of Black City.

Noland Lee avoided the legal alchemists wandering around Black City and entered the Blackbone Secret Society’s hideout, a pitch-black cave.

Using ‘Sense Tampering’ to avoid the Blackbone Hermit hidden in the cave, and combining it with ‘Psychic Bombardment’ for silent assassination, Noland Lee successfully infiltrated the hideout.

In the deepest part of the cave, he found something he had been longing for:

The Soul Transposition Array of the Blackbone Secret Society.

This was a stereo array occupying over 30 square meters, resembling a hollow pyramid in appearance. The user of the array stands in the center, placing specific alchemy materials around themselves, and then infuses soul energy to activate the array.

Noland Lee destroyed the stereo array in a rough and straightforward manner, obtaining its full set of alchemy blueprints.
