: 196. Magic of Mathematics
The sky darkens, approaching evening.
Nnd 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.
Nnd ces 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 y at its leisure, as well as a cat scratching board for it to sharpen its ws.
Magic messengers, creatures of magic, do not need to excrete waste.
They only eat and drink, never producing waste.
Nnd naturally spares the trouble of buying and maintaining cat litter.
Moreover, he doesn’t have to worry about trivial things like illness, bathing, vination, and shedding, as the snow-winged cat, being a magical creature, has no such issues.
Worth mentioning is that the magic cat cage Nnd bought has a “transfer beacon” function.
The snow-winged cat can reach the cage from anywhere in the world through the “Messenger ne” as a transfer point.<div>
In this way, Nnd canmunicate with Denise at home at any time. 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 Nnd begins his work of destruction.
The moment Hadley Grant unlocked the magic lock on the diary, Nnd consumed 3,000 energy points and gained the knowledge on the diary.
This step unlocks “Nautical Science (Level 10)”, “Marine Meteorology (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.
Nnd 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.
Nnd takes out a hammer from his magic pouch, ces the fledgling dragon’s tooth on the table, and bangs on the tooth, sessfully destroying it.
The reward of 13,000 energy points is credited, and today’s energy point expenditure is basically back. At the same time, 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 same method, using the hammer to destroy the already fragile dragon scale, Nnd sessfully 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 dragonnguage on it gives the most, a full 40,000 points.
As a result, Nnd 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 Nnd.
The content is quite disappointing, roughly meaning “some dragon identally spat out some excess food while belching today.”
Nnd cleans up the debris in the study and checks his personal panel.
[Soul Strength] 4185
[Energy Points] 124011/56 (40+16)<div>
3,000 gold coins for 93,000 energy points!
This is too profitable.
Nnd 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 ce, Nnd can buy the ind tomorrow afterpleting knowledge skills rted to mineral resources.<div>
Nnd 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 thepensation from Hotams Metal Department and thew enforcement reward from the Wizard Enforcement Department.
Nnd and Selena have discussed that thetter will help Nnd impensation. Selena promises that Hotams will refund the full ticket price and pay an equal amount ofpensation, totaling 4,000 gold coins.
Also, assisting the Law Enforcement Department and the Department of Magic to deal with the enemy in Captain Berkeley, assisting the Wizard delegation protect the negotiation site, assisting thew enforcement team to protect the passengers on the emergency airship, etc., would also receive a reward.
Selena will help Nnd handle these matters, roughly around 2,000 gold coins.
Thispensation will be credited along with the penalty, so it is recorded as one item.
The second ie is the intermediarymission for the sale of life elixir and payment for magic scrolls.
ording to the soul contract between Nnd and Morster, 10% of the transaction amount of the life elixir belongs to Nnd.<div>
Roughly estimating, at least 12,000 gold coins will be credited each month,sting for six months.
If the life elixir price goes up, the amount will increase ordingly.
The third transaction is rted to the secret deal between Mabel and Nnd, with a total amount of 450,000 gold coins.
Overall, the current funds on the ount are sufficient.
However, after paying for the ind, Nnd and Denise will enter a state of deficit spending.
The cost of building an ind is quite astonishing. If adding the gold coins needed to practice the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method, the future expenses can be described as a bottomless pit.
Nnd must find a legal way to make money in advance.
Late at night, Denise begins her daily meditation training, and the snow-winged cat curls up in the cat cage, falling asleep.
Nnd, for once, does not do his usual meditation 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 Archipgo, Nnd goes out alone.<div>
Denise stays in the Core Circle’s visitor area.
