Chapter 618: 198. Strong Fusion Gold Coins_3

“Hmm… in that case, do you need me to go to the Inner Circle tomorrow to have a look at the houses? Are you thinking of a long-term lease or just buying one?”

Noland Lee said:

“It would be better to buy one. The coins I just gave you are for buying a house. Keep the remaining money for now, as I have other uses for it in a couple of days.”

“Um, okay~”

As Noland Lee spoke, he took out the map he had bought from Jenela today, unfolding it using “Mage’s Hand” and suspended it in front of them.

There were several circles on the map marked with pencils.

Noland Lee pointed to the circles on the map and said:

“These places have relatively good geographical locations, and the security is superb. Also, about our house in the Inner Circle, I have something to tell you in advance…”

Noland Lee leaned into Denise Green’s ear and whispered softly:

“…So that’s it, do you understand? I might suddenly ask you to sneak back to the Core Circle for a long stay and create the illusion that you have been living in the house in the Inner Circle for a long time. You need to be ready to give up the Inner Circle house at any time.”

“Yes! I understand! I will definitely cooperate with you!” Denise Green nodded repeatedly.

Noland Lee smiled contentedly and then said:

“The third reason for delaying the construction of the island is that I plan to buy an island in the Inner Circle, which will cost at least a million gold coins. If everything goes smoothly in the next half year, not only can I raise enough money for buying the island, but I can also earn the money needed for constructing the island. Until I establish my strong and impenetrable island, our true base will be the Stone House in the Core Circle.”

Denise Green looked at Noland Lee with confusion:

“But you just bought three islands on the east side of the archipelago… Why do you want to buy an island in the Inner Circle again?”

Noland Lee held her face and rubbed it with a smile:

“It’s too complicated to explain, and it involves many things. You will know the reasons soon.”

“Ang~ I won’t ask anymore then. I believe whatever you say.”

“With your words, I feel at ease. Go rest first, I will join you later.” Noland Lee stood up, put the Snow-winged Cat into the cat cage, and sent Denise Green upstairs; he then entered the study room by himself.

He sat down at the desk and took a 20-denomination gold coin from his magic pouch.

Clenching the gold coin, he pulled up his personal panel in his mind, activated the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method, and began his journey of upgrading his meditation tonight.

[System Message:]

[You are about to fuse a 20-denomination gold coin.]

[The item level of this gold coin is Level 25, weighing 25 grams, and it provides 625 points of meditation experience.]

[You need to consume 3,125 energy points to fuse it.]

[Your current Energy Value is 119,500/56 (40+16) points.]

[Do you confirm the fusion?]

When Noland Lee obtained the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method, he had calculated that:

When his energy value was abundant, and gold coins were scarce, practicing the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method with a 20-denomination gold coin had the highest cost-performance ratio.

Noland Lee silently confirmed the fusion in his mind.

The gold coin melted in his palm, entering his skin with a weak heatwave and disappeared.

[Forced Fusion Successful!]

[Experience of “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method +625, now Level 0, 645/1000.]

[You dealt fatal damage to the “20-denomination gold coin”.]

[Deconstruction Activation!]

[You have received the following deconstruction results:]

[1. Target’s Panel Information.]

[2. Energy Value Reward of 150,000 points. Since you have already unlocked the standardized panel information of a “20-denomination gold coin”, the value of this Energy Value Reward has been reduced, equal to the difference between the energy values you consumed when deconstructing a “20-denomination gold coin” and a “1-denomination gold coin”.]

When deconstructing a 1-denomination gold coin, Noland Lee needed to consume 100,000 energy points.

When deconstructing a 20-denomination gold coin, it requires 250,000 energy points.

The difference between these two values is 150,000 energy points, which exactly matches the energy value reward this time.

Noland Lee was not surprised by this deconstruction result.

He took out another 20-denomination gold coin and activated the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method once again.

[Forced Fusion Successful!]

[Experience of the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method +625, now Level 1, 270/2000.]

[Meditation level up reward obtained:]

[1. “Willpower” +0. Your current “Willpower” is 3 points. You cannot obtain the “Willpower” attribute value reward before your meditation method reaches Level 4.]

[2. “Tenacity” +0. Your current “Tenacity” is 19 points. You cannot obtain the “Tenacity” attribute value reward before your meditation method reaches Level 20.]

[3. “Strength” +0. Your current “Strength” is 5 points. You cannot obtain the “Strength” attribute value reward before your meditation method reaches Level 6.]

Cough, cough, cough…

Damn…

Noland Lee scanned the system message in his mind and almost choked.

6250 energy points and 40 gold coins in exchange for three “+0s” felt a bit discouraging, impacting Noland’s enthusiasm for cultivation.

However, Noland had anticipated this and had mentally prepared himself for it.

He took out several more 20-denomination gold coins and continued to cultivate the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method.

About five or six minutes later.

[System Message:]

[You have consumed 32 “20-denomination gold coins” and 100,000 energy points, gaining 20,000 meditation experience points.]

[The “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method level +5, now Level 6, 270/7000.]

[You have received the following upgrade rewards:]

[1. “Willpower” +3]

[2. “Tenacity” +0]

[3. “Strength” +1, now at 6 points.]

[4. Due to “Willpower” +3 and “Strength” +1, your energy points limit has increased by 4]

[Your current energy point’s value is 163375/60 (40+20)]

Finally, two basic attributes have grown simultaneously.

Noland leaned back in his chair and took a long breath.

The thought of the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method allowing “Willpower,” “Strength,” and “Tenacity” to increase by 1 point each every level up from Level 20, while also increasing the energy point’s limit by 3 points, filled Noland with hope for the future.

Cultivating the body forging movement of the Dusk Giants can improve “Strength” and “Tenacity”.

Cultivating the breathing method of the Dusk Giants can improve “Vitality”.

Thinking about it now, it is best to postpone cultivating the body forging movement and focus on cultivating the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method first.

This way, the effects of cultivating the body forging movement and the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method won’t conflict with each other, preventing the latter from becoming significantly less efficient.

As for the “Twilight Breathing Technique,” Noland felt it was okay to cultivate normally.

Because, at present, the “Twilight Breathing Technique” was the only thing in his hands that could stably increase his “Vitality”.

Noland planned his future cultivation and opened his personal panel to take a look.

…

[Soul Strength] 4122

[Soul Revival] 0.6 points every 24 hours

[Energy Points] 129,000/60 (40+20)

[Tenacity] 19

[Vitality] 10

[Strength] 6

[Agility] 13

[Spirit] 40

[Charm] 23

[Willpower] 6

…

Closing the panel information, Noland left the study room, went to the washing room to clean up, and then entered the bedroom.

He wouldn’t receive any Soul Strength for the next few days, so Noland temporarily set aside cultivating the “Voice of Silence” meditation method.

In a couple of days, after Noland achieves his goal of earning money through bounty tasks, his next earning plan will naturally allow Soul Strength to start being received.

By that time, as long as everything goes smoothly, Noland is confident in achieving simultaneous increases in gold coins, basic attributes, and meditation method levels.
