Chapter 880: 275. Magical Advantage

After breakfast, Noland Lee had Denise Green cast a “Strong Energy Abundance” spell on him and then plunged back into intensive work.

The main material required for the magic crystal tube was Thunder and Lightning Energy, each consuming 100 million points.

Noland spent half a day’s time, crafting 15 magic crystal tubes.

Combined with the one he had made during the trial, he now had 16 in total, corresponding to an added computing power of 160,000 per second.

The magic access meter was a bit troublesome to construct.

Before starting on the magic crystal tubes, Noland wrote a letter to Silent Witch Jasmine Morgan who was in Union City, entrusting her to purchase the Alchemy Materials necessary for the magic access meter.

This deal was a profitable one for Comini.

Noland would give her gold coins, and she would use Union Coins to buy the Alchemy Materials.

Considering the extreme imbalance in exchange rates between Union Coins and Ulnas Gold Coins, Comini spent only a fraction of the actual cost to obtain the materials Noland needed, netting tens of thousands of gold coins in profit.

Noland was aware of this, yet he still chose to proceed without hesitation.

The reason was nothing other than to establish a good relationship with Comini under the guise of trade.

Comini was merely a Seven-ring Battle Witch; by maintaining a distance and employing Mental Magic, Noland could easily defeat her.

So why did Noland value Comini so highly?

The main reason was:

Noland did not consider Comini as an opponent or enemy.

To be precise, he regarded the entire “Silent Maiden” faction as his allies.

Comini, Erica, and even Jenny whom he had only met a few times, were all his partners now or in the future.

Noland provided them with gold coins to help strengthen their combat abilities, enhancing his own external aid power.

What he spent now was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but when the time came to ask for help, they could well turn into committed external assistance.

Spend small money, accumulate goodwill, handle big affairs, this was the approach Noland took in dealing with “Silent Maiden”.

After completing the 15 magic crystal tubes, Comini sent over the Alchemy Materials.

Noland called Selena Williams to assist him, with Nolin observing by the side.

In cooperation with Selena, it took Noland five hours to construct the first magic access meter.

The finished product looked similar to the alchemical access device.

The difference lay within its alchemy array, which used Thunder and Lightning Energy instead of Four Elements energy.
