Chapter 608: 196. Magic of Mathematics
The sky darkens, approaching evening.
Noland Lee and Denise Green return to their temporary residence in the Core Circle’s visitor stone house.
The most important thing, of course, is to settle the snow-winged cat.
Noland places the magic cat cage on the first floor, with a cat bowl for the snow-winged cat to eat and drink nearby, and a cat stand for it to climb and play at its leisure, as well as a cat scratching board for it to sharpen its claws.
Magic ssengers, creatures of magic, do not need to excrete waste.
They only eat and drink, never producing waste.
Noland naturally spares the trouble of buying and maintaining cat litter.
Moreover, he doesn’t have to worry about trivial things like illness, bathing, vaccination, and shedding, as the snow-winged cat, being a magical creature, has no such issues.
Worth ntioning is that the magic cat cage Noland bought has a “transfer beacon” function.
The snow-winged cat can reach the cage from anywhere in the world through the “ssenger Plane” as a transfer point.
In this way, Noland can communicate with Denise at ho at any ti. The two no longer need to be troubled by exceeding the maximum range of “soul perception.”
After settling in the snow-winged cat, Denise Green uses a magic cooking machine to prepare dinner in the house, while Noland begins his work of destruction.
The mont Hadley Grant unlocked the magic lock on the diary, Noland consud 3,000 energy points and gained the knowledge on the diary.
This step unlocks “Nautical Science (Level 10)”, “Marine teorology (Level 8)”, “Dragon Age Archaeology (Level 3)”, “Marine Diving Science (Level 6)”).
Except for “Dragon Age Archaeology”, the other three knowledge skills are temporarily unusable.
Noland puts the things he bought from Hadley’s shop on the table.
The first item is a fledgling dragon’s tooth, with a deconstruction consumption of 13,000 energy points.
Noland takes out a hamr from his magic pouch, places the fledgling dragon’s tooth on the table, and bangs on the tooth, successfully destroying it.
The reward of 13,000 energy points is credited, and today’s energy point expenditure is basically back. At the sa ti, the “Dragon Age Archaeology” level 1.
The second item is a mottled dragon scale, with a deconstruction consumption of 7,000 energy points.
Following the sa thod, using the hamr to destroy the already fragile dragon scale, Noland successfully collects the energy point reward, and the “Dragon Age Archaeology” experience increases, but does not yet level up.
The following four items give 11,000, 13,000, 16,000, and 40,000 energy points respectively.
The stone tablet with the dragon language on it gives the most, a full 40,000 points.
As a result, Noland unlocks “Dragon Language Studies (Level 1)”, and “Dragon Age Archaeology” is upgraded to Level 6.
The content of the text on the stone tablet is deciphered by Noland.
The content is quite disappointing, roughly aning “so dragon accidentally spat out so excess food while belching today.”
Noland cleans up the debris in the study and checks his personal panel.
[Soul Strength] 4185
[Energy Points] 124011/56 (40 16)
3,000 gold coins for 93,000 energy points!
This is too profitable.
Noland has a feeling that he will frequently patronize Hadley’s shop in the future, using solid gold coins to encourage the good shopkeeper who insists on selling genuine goods.
With an abundant energy point inventory and half of the knowledge skills in place, Noland can buy the island tomorrow after completing knowledge skills related to mineral resources.
Noland goes to the first floor and asks Denise about the financial situation.
Cash and cash equivalents total 236,500 gold coins.
Among them:
136,500 gold coins in cash.
Eight sage particles, a total of about 100,000 gold coins.
There are three future cash inflows:
The first is the compensation from Hotams tal Departnt and the law enforcent reward from the Wizard Enforcent Departnt.
Noland and Selena have discussed that the latter will help Noland claim compensation. Selena promises that Hotams will refund the full ticket price and pay an equal amount of compensation, totaling 4,000 gold coins.
Also, assisting the Law Enforcent Departnt and the Departnt of Magic to deal with the enemy in Captain Berkeley, assisting the Wizard delegation protect the negotiation site, assisting the law enforcent team to protect the passengers on the ergency airship, etc., would also receive a reward.
Selena will help Noland handle these matters, roughly around 2,000 gold coins.
This compensation will be credited along with the penalty, so it is recorded as one item.
The second inco is the interdiary commission for the sale of life elixir and paynt for magic scrolls.
According to the soul contract between Noland and Morster, 10% of the transaction amount of the life elixir belongs to Noland.
Roughly estimating, at least 12,000 gold coins will be credited each month, lasting for six months.
If the life elixir price goes up, the amount will increase accordingly.
The third transaction is related to the secret deal between Mabel and Noland, with a total amount of 450,000 gold coins.
Overall, the current funds on the account are sufficient.
However, after paying for the island, Noland and Denise will enter a state of deficit spending.
The cost of building an island is quite astonishing. If adding the gold coins needed to practice the “Strong tal Fusion” ditation thod, the future expenses can be described as a bottomless pit.
Noland must find a legal way to make money in advance.
Late at night, Denise begins her daily ditation training, and the snow-winged cat curls up in the cat cage, falling asleep.
Noland, for once, does not do his usual ditation routine.
He sits in the study room, looking at the stardust and the bright moon, pondering ways to make a fortune.
…
…
On the morning of the fourth day after arriving at the Suman Archipelago, Noland goes out alone.
Denise stays in the Core Circle’s visitor area.
