Chapter 601: 193. Mysterious Exploration_3

“The mineral resources of Snow Mountain Island 1 have been completely mined; no wonder the price is so low…” Noland Lee now understood why the price was so cheap.

There is a group of people in the Suman Archipelago who specialize in buying islands to gamble on mineral resources. This tactic was just like the famous “bargain hunting” before crossing, requiring precise vision and superb magic exploration skills.

If there happened to be invaluable hidden mineral resources on the purchased island that the original island owner had not discovered, it would be a fortune-maker. Many stories of people gaining wealth were through this method.

“If you’re considering purchasing Snow Mountain Island 1, please be cautious. After all, apart from rocks, ice, snow, and some forests at the foot of the mountain, there is nothing else there.” Seeing Noland Lee silent, Nelly couldn’t help but say.

Denise Green blinked at Noland Lee.

She had always followed Noland’s lead, blindly supporting any of his decisions, and this time was no exception.

Even if Noland had bought Snow Mountain Island 1 without a word, Denise would have gladly pulled out her money bags to pay for it.

Noland Lee broke away from his thoughts and asked with a fist pump:

“Nelly, is it convenient for you to take us to the east side of the archipelago for an on-site inspection? In addition to these three Snow Mountain Islands, I have a few other islands to investigate.”

“No problem.” Nelly stood up. “Please follow me.”

Noland Lee and Denise followed Nelly out of the guest room and boarded the magic car bound for the seaside under her guidance.

At 9 a.m. on the same day.

North Sea Area, east side of the Suman Archipelago.

Three figures flew out from the surface, wrapped in blue light, and suspended in the air.

These were Noland, Denise, and Nelly who had just arrived from the west side of the archipelago via the magic ocean current.

With the protection of the Ocean Current Crystal, this quick and short underwater journey did not wet the clothes of Noland trio.

Noland and Denise entered flight status in the air and followed Nelly to the three equatorial snow-capped mountains that pierced the sky.

These three snow-capped islands were distributed over the east side of the sea, with several kilometers between them.

Just as Nelly had shown on the magic model, the largest width of the Snow Mountain Islands was about 28 kilometers. On such a small area, there were snow-capped mountains rising over 5,000 meters high.

The towering steep mountains stood like spikes on the sea surface. Only at the foot of the mountains were there scant plains and forests; all other places were bare, deep gray rocks.

The island’s owner, the Pangula Family, somehow magically and accurately located the mineral resources in the mountain. They excavated circular tunnels in various parts of the mountain to steal the mineral resources deep within, and did not seal the tunnels when they left.

Upon arrival at Snow Mountain Island 1, Noland Lee immediately noticed the cave entrances on the mountain.

Given the Pangula family’s mining efficiency, the mineral resources on this snowy island had probably been completely depleted…

Hmm…

Could there be some secret resources the Pangula family failed to discover?

With this thought in mind, Noland Lee targeted the island and used the Deconstruction Technique.

[System Message:]

[You are about to use the Deconstruction Technique on “Snow Mountain Island 1.”]

[Estimated to consume 13.3 billion energy points, which can increase the degree of deconstruction to 100%]

13.3 billion…

It takes 13.3 billion to fully deconstruct an island with depleted resources…

Noland Lee shifted his gaze and looked at another island nearby.

That island remained a pristine environment, with no trace of resource exploitation.

Nelly followed Noland’s gaze and volunteered:

“Sir, that is Island No. 113456. The Pangula family explored and discovered two underground mineral deposits on the island, with approximately 2,400 tons of Blue Steel Stone reserves. However, mining is difficult, and the ore grade is low. So, the price of the island is only 250,000 gold coins. The Pangula family promises to include their exploration report with the island. If you plan to mine the island’s minerals, you might as well cooperate with the Pangula family. The family has roots in the Metal System and Rock and Soil Magic System, and is one of the most well-known families in the Ulnas Circle for metallurgy magic.”

“I’ve heard of the renowned Pangula Family. They are indeed among the best in exploration and mining.”

Noland Lee chatted briefly and threw the Deconstruction Technique at the island.

[System Message:]

[You are about to use the Deconstruction Technique on “Island No. 113456.”]

[Estimated to consume 1.2 billion energy points, which can raise the degree of deconstruction to 100%]

1.2 billion?

Noland Lee blinked his eyes.

Why is it so low??

Could it be that the deconstruction consumption of an island is not highly related to the mineral resources on the island, but rather the above-water volume of the island has a greater impact?

Noland silently nodded, thinking that must be the case.

He opened his Personal Panel and saw that he had about 46,000 energy points in stock.

Using the Deconstruction Technique to analyze the value of the islands is more convenient than the magic exploration of the Pangula family.

However…

This was the first time Noland Lee deconstructed a massive object like an island, and he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed, like stirring a large vat with a toothpick…

Throwing down ten or twenty thousand deconstruction points might not even cause a splash…

Noland pondered for a moment and made a decision.

Never mind that, let’s try deconstructing first.

Noland looked at Snow Mountain Island 1, consumed 10,000 energy points, and launched the Deconstruction Technique.

[Deconstruction Success!]

[Your deconstruction completion degree of “Snow Mountain Island 1” has increased to 0.0075%.]

[You have obtained a small portion of the Panel Information:]

[Name] Snow Mountain Island 1 (tentatively named)

[Feature]

Outflow of the Dragon Tooth Reservoir:

The snow mountain in your sight is actually one of the long-forgotten outflows of the Dragon Tooth Reservoir.

Once specific conditions are met, the outflow will automatically open and release sea water to the entire world.

The builders of the reservoir are dragons; whether the “sea water” output from the reservoir is the “sea water” recognized by mankind is a mystery.

(Insufficient deconstruction degree, unable to obtain more information.)

…

Noland Lee, faced with the deconstruction results in his mind, was stunned for a moment.

Nelly and Denise thought he was considering the matter, so they chose to remain silent and did not disturb him.

Only Noland himself knew that his mind was focused by the “Dragon Tooth Reservoir Outflow” mentioned in the deconstruction results.

The Snow Mountain is the outflow of the reservoir?

Then how large must the whole reservoir be…
