Chapter 622: 200. Deconstructing Sea Water


    Before officially beginning the pursuit of wanted criminals, Nnd Lee still had some preparations to make.


    Considering that capturing criminals in the Suman Archipgo might involve dealing with highly corrosive sea water, Nnd needed to make sure he had emergency measures to cope with it.


    In his opinion, his worst situation would be getting stranded on a deste sea surface.


    Just imagine, surrounded by corrosive deep sea water, and Denise Green is hundreds of kilometers away. There are no ships tond on, it is not possible to contact Denise through “Soul Perception,” and even his Soul Strength and Energy Points have been depleted.


    Facing such an extreme situation, what should Nnd do?


    There’s no doubt that, other than contacting Lecturer Professor Erica and asking her to send someone to rescue him, he had no other choice.


    Instead of entrusting his life to others, Nnd felt it would be better to keep it in his own hands.


    He used the remaining gold coins from the ind purchase to buy a magic pouch with a capacity of 300 cubic meters. Therger the capacity of a magic pouch, the more expensive it is, unlike with hard drives.


    A 300-cubic-meter magic pouch consumed nearly 3,000 gold coins of Nnd’s money.


    In addition to therge-capacity magic pouch, Nnd also bought several other items.<div>


    A Magic Intable Raft, which when folded up, is just 50 cubic meters. Taking it out and throwing it on the sea surface will automatically inte it, turning it into a magic raft with a deck area of about 100 square meters within a minute. This is a consumable item and cannot be reused. Nnd bought three spares, totaling 1,200 gold coins.


    A Nautical Locator and a Lost Sea Fog Report. These two items are essential for going out to sea. The former is a product of deep sea magic that provides real-time geographic information. Thetter records the fog threshold of nearby sea areas. Together, they cost 1,500 gold coins in monthly rent, with the former being 1,000 gold coins and thetter 500 gold coins.


    Freshwater, food, medicine, and other supplies, totaling 300 gold coins.


    In total, Nnd spent 5,700 gold coins just to cope with extreme situations.


    And it’s not over yet.


    Nnd needed to confirm that he could withstand the corrosiveness of the sea water in case he identally fell into the deep sea and escape the churning water.


    To do so, he used the Ocean Current Crystal to ride the Circum-Ind Current and arrived at the rarely visited East Side Inds,nding on Snow Mountain Ind 1.


    He stood still at the foot of the snow mountain, facing the vast sea.


    Since there are no underwater magical facilities in the East Side Inds to purify the water, the sea water here retains its inherent corrosiveness and turbidity.


    It appears eerily dark green without any bad smell or odor, but when touching the water surface with your hand for a long time, you can vaguely feel an odd itchiness.


    If soaked long enough, not only will the skin surface whiten and wrinkle, but it is also very likely that strange red dots, green dots, ck dots, and other spots will appear.


    If the soak time was even longer, the spotted stains would spread like ringworm, extending to the entire arm or even the whole body.


    The final oue would be death or injury. If you don’t want to die or amputate, you will have to spend gold coins looking for a natural system or deep-sea wizard to cure the disease.


    Nnd wanted to test how long he couldst in the deep sea water without protection. This way, he would not panic when he was in trouble.


    He rolled up his sleeves, exposing his right hand and forearm, and reached out to the dark green sea surface.


    As soon as his right hand was soaked in the sea water, a system message appeared in Nnd’s mind.


    [Notice!]


    [You have touched the “Suman Archipgo East Side Sea Area 3 of sea water.”]


    [It is estimated that in 35 minutes, you will undergo a “Tenacity” attribute-rted judgment. If the judgment fails, you will receive several unknown negative effects.]<div>


    “After soaking for 35 minutes before the judgment starts… Is this ’35 minutes’ rted to the ‘Tenacity’ attribute?” Nnd pondered, taking out a bottle of Swift Swallow Potion and pouring it into his mouth.


    [You have taken the “Swift Swallow Potion.”]


    [“Tenacity” temporary -3, now 16 points.]


    [“Agility” temporary +3, now 16 points.]<div>


    Nnd took his right hand out of the sea water and put it back in.


    Another system message was received.


    [Notice!]


    [You have touched the “Suman Archipgo East Side Sea Area 3 of sea water.”]


    [It is estimated that in 35 minutes, you will perform a ‘Tenacity’ attribute-rted judgment…]


    The triggering time for the judgment didn’t change, and it was still “35 minutes.”


    This indicates that the higher or lower “Tenacity” attribute doesn’t affect the timing of the judgment.


    Presumably, the length of time before the judgment is triggered should only be rted to the sea area.


    Different sea areas will have different judgment timing points.


    To verify his guess, Nnd flew to the southeast of the East Side Inds ording to the pre-existing map of the Suman Archipgo,nding on another small ind.


    This small ind is located in the “Suman Archipgo East Side Sea Area 5.”


    Nnd put his hand in the sea water.


    This time, the system reminded him that he would undergo a ‘Tenacity’ rted judgment in 38 minutes.<div>


    This proved that Nnd’s guess was correct, and the timing of the judgment was indeed rted to the sea area where he was located.


    Nnd changed sea areas several times and tested repeatedly, finally concluding with a clearer result:


    The closer the sea area is tond, theter the judgment triggering time.


    In other words, if you lose your way on the sea, and even your nautical instrument is broken, you can generally determine the direction of the nearestnd by the triggering time of the judgment.
