?Chapter 938: 293. First-mover advantage

    “Where are we?” Denise Green casually cast a spell while curiously looking around.


    “This is the Great Sea.”


    Nnd Lee was now in the form of a small Titan, seven meters tall.


    He lifted his broad palm, protecting the “pocket-sized” Denise Green to his chest:


    “Stay vignt, Denise. We are in a ce more than a thousand meters deep in the water. Enemies could pop out from anywhere, front, back, left, right, above, or below.” <div>


    ...


    “Okay~”


    Denise Green sat on Nnd Lee’s arm, leaning against his chest, casting healing spells non-stop.


    The painful areas on Nnd Lee’s body became warm.


    The pain was gradually weakening, but it would take some time before he waspletely healed.


    Nnd Lee activated “Mind Induction” and asked Selena, who was far within the Core Circle:


    “Selena, I would like you to contact Hadley Grant secretly. He has a shop in the City of Suman named ‘Hadley’s Shop’. He’s a Five-ring Deep Sea Wizard who graduated from the Deep Sea Branch about 12 years ago.”


    “Hadley Grant…” Selena made a note of the name:


    “Okay, Jarvis. Give me a few minutes, and I’ll find his record.”


    Nnd Lee waited patiently for a moment, passing time by teasing Denise Green.


    “I’ve found information on Hadley Grant.” Selena said through “Mind Induction”:


    “He is indeed a graduate of the Deep Sea Branch. He registered his Magic Messenger postal code information with the Ind Affairs Department. If you want to contact him without rming anyone else, I can use the name of the Ind Affairs Department to write him a secret letter enchanted with a magic lock. What do you think?”


    Nnd Lee thought that even if the Pang Family was quick to act, they wouldn’t have reached Hadley Grant so soon.


    It seemed unlikely that Hadley would receive Selena’s letter exactly when he was confronting the Pang Family.


    “That’s fine, Selena. I leave this matter to you. Tell him in the letter…”


    Nnd Lee recounted his n in his mind.


    He took into ount all the ways the Pang Family could trouble Hadley Grant.


    For example, the Pang Family could arrest Hadley along with his boat on the pretext of vitingws.


    Or they could offer Hadley a substantial reward to entice him to divulge Nnd Lee’s true information.


    Nnd Lee even considered the scenario where the Pang Family brought in a Saint Tier Mind Wizard to read Hadley’s memories.


    For each scenario, Nnd Lee had a solution.


    He always estimated his enemies’ intentions with the utmost malice, naturally foreseeing all sorts of extreme situations in advance.


    “…that’s it, Selena. Please rephrase what I said into appropriate wording and send it to Hadley. If he agrees to help us, send him a magic crystal I made. Tell him, should he detect a trace of the Pang Family, to crush the magic crystal, and I will be alerted to his situation immediately.”


    “No problem, it will be done. Let me repeat it to make sure,” Selena responded.


    “Okay.”


    Selena repeated Nnd Lee’s instructions based on her notes.


    After confirming there were no omissions or errors, the two disconnected “Mind Induction.”


    Denise Green had by this time healed Nnd Lee’s injuries.


    After casting a few spells with blessing effects on him, she teleported away from the location with Selena’s help.


    Nnd Lee once again entered a state of silent cultivation in the dark seawater.


    He called up the System Interface to check.


    The Passive Deconstruction progress throughout the Four-Piece Subsea Region had synchronously risen to about 15.8%.


    The current speed of deconstruction was much faster thanst time.


    This was rted to Nnd Lee unlocking the standardized panel information for the “Deep Sea Region.”


    With this panel information, he would enjoy a significant discount when passively deconstructing any Deep Sea Subsea Region.


    While the difficulty of deconstruction decreased, the Energy Value Rewards from passive deconstruction also dropped significantly.


    This was unavoidable.


    Nnd Lee could onlypensate for the reduced Energy Value Reward by increasing the number of Subsea Regions.


    “Let’s continue cultivating the ‘Calm Breathing Method’ and the Deep Sea Scales Meditation.”


    Nnd Lee steadied his mind, constantly observing his surroundings with “Perception Enhancement.”


    “Hoo~~~hisss~~~~hoo~~~hissss~~~~~”


    The prolonged breath sounds wandered through the sea water, resonating for a long time.


    …


    …


    Several days passed in rigorous cultivation and deconstructing Subsea Regions.


    Ind 33 entered a stable stage of development.


    Nnd’s two Thought Threads, one was used to improve the existing Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector, and the other was used for handling misceneous tasks.


    Denise Green provided healing services for Nnd deep in the sea every two hours via teleportation.


    The rest of the time, she was in meditation either in her study room or her bedroom.


    Nnd Lee hade to a conclusion regarding what he had asked her to investigate.


    Her Lecturer Professor “Lamp of Resurrection” indeed provided other Resurrection Witches with information about Magic Relics.


    Nnd Lee obtained information regarding five Magic Relics.


    However, the information the other Resurrection Witches received included far more than just five relics.


    There was once a Resurrection Witch who obtained information on over 30 Magic Relics from Professor Lamp.


    Over the past decade, many of those 30 Magic Relics had been thoroughly researched by the Wizard Advancement Association or raided by other wizard forces and turned into their Sub-Dimensional nes.


    For this reason, the number of Magic Relics introduced by Professor Lamp dramatically decreased, from initially over 30 to now just five.
