Chapter 602: 194. A few genuine items

Noland Lee and Denise Green followed Nelly, wandering around the archipelago’s east side until noon.

Nelly arranged lunch for Noland and Denise at the Exchange. After lunch, Noland and Nelly learned some things, ultimately leaving the Exchange under the pretext of “needing to consider more”.

After looking around all morning, they found over 300 islands with prices below 100,000 gold coins.

Besides Snow Mountain Island 1, which had been depleted of its mineral resources, the other islands were all small with a width of less than 10 kilometers.

Developing and utilizing these small islands was difficult due to factors like their small size, remote location, and numerous underwater reefs. Large-scale projects such as Magic Eco-farms, Magic Water Purification Facilities, and ports could not be established on these small islands.

The security in the east side of the archipelago is another important factor impacting island prices.

The Deep Sea Branch is responsible for providing security services.

There is a Magic Outpost every thirty kilometers, a drone-type facility floating on the sea surface and patrolling between the islands.

Magic Servants work within the outposts.

When a conflict arises, the Magic Outposts will rush to the scene and use brilliant fireworks to alert the Deep-sea Wizard bases set up between the islands by the Deep Sea Branch.

Upon receiving the message, the Deep-sea Wizards at the base will immediately go to the scene to deal with the dispute.

The closer the islands are to the patrol routes of the Magic Outpost and the Deep-sea Wizard Base, the higher the quality of security services, and the higher the island prices will be.

After considering factors such as island location, security quality, terrain, the number and size of havens, and price, 15 islands met Noland and Denise’s requirements, including Snow Mountain Island 1.

Snow Mountain Islands 1 through 3 are close to each other.

Before being exploited, the resources on these three Snow Mountain Islands were extremely rich.

To prevent theft, the Deep Sea Branch set up the Wizards Base and the Magic Outpost nearby the three Snow Mountain Islands.

Once the Deep Sea Branch’s Wizards Base and Magic Outposts were established, they would not be easily moved. Therefore, even if the mineral resources on Snow Mountain Island 1 were depleted, it would still be within the range of high-quality security services.

After narrowing the list to the 15 suitable islands, Noland didn’t rush to make a payment.

As he told Nelly, he “needed more time to consider”.

However, he wasn’t contemplating picking one from those 15 islands.

What he was really considering was “cheating the system”.

He discovered an extremely important, but often overlooked, System Knowledge.
