Chapter 824: 261.Extreme·Fancy Moves

Before setting off on this expedition, Noland Lee did some calculations.

He had a total of five islands at his disposal.

Snow Mountain Island 1, as well as four smaller isles.

He planned to provide the ore distribution map of the non-metallic minerals on these four smaller islands to prove his exploration abilities to the Deep Sea Branch.

To fully deconstruct these four smaller islands, he would need approximately 4.5 billion Energy Points in total.

Based on Noland’s experience:

He did not actually need to prepare 4.5 billion Energy Points to deconstruct the small islands.

After unlocking the standardized panel information for “small isles,” the energy consumption for deconstructing similar types of islands would greatly reduce.

Noland figured that probably by preparing between 2.25 and 3.6 billion Energy Points, he could get a clear understanding of the mineral distribution on the four isles.

The mineral resources on these four small islands had already been thoroughly mined by that guy, Dickler Fegen.

This meant that the ore distribution that Noland could obtain through deconstruction would likely be veins that the Pangula Family had not yet discovered.

No matter how much information about the veins Noland ended up providing to the Deep Sea Branch, it would be sufficient to prove his exploration capabilities.

So how to gather at least 2.25 billion Energy Points within five days?

Noland’s answer was to work furiously.

As long as it did not kill him, he would work himself to the bone.

Practicing the Deep Sea Scales Meditation could accelerate the absorption of the corrosiveness of sea water, improving the degree of deconstruction of the sea area by 0.1% per hour.

It would take 1000 hours to passively deconstruct a sea area, which was simply unacceptable.

Noland decided to adopt a more aggressive strategy.

Strategy one:

Use the Breathing Method to absorb deep sea magic power.

After mastering “Magic Lungs,” Noland experimented with the effects of using the “Calm Breathing Technique” to absorb deep sea Mana.

At present:

The amount of Mana points absorbed per hour = the level of the “Calm Breathing Technique” * 10 * environmental bonus.

Moreover, for every hour of absorbing deep sea Mana, the degree of deconstruction of the sea area would additionally increase by 0.1%.

This strategy was very safe.

Other than the Energy Points consumed for absorbing and storing Mana, there were no other costs or negative effects.

But the speed of improvement in the degree of deconstruction still did not meet Noland’s needs.

Therefore, there were strategies two and three, which were:

Swallowing sea water and bearing water pressure.

Noland had tested these methods as well.

How to put this…

Sea water was hard to drink, with visible damage to the body, and the water pressure could make one’s bones crack and nearly break.

But the effects of passive deconstruction were exceptionally good.
