In a sense, the price of an island is equal to 70% to 90% of the total value of the confirmed deep-sea minerals on the island.

Taking into account the operation of the Deconstruction Core System to reduce the deconstruction consumption, and its relevance to his own scholarly skills, Noland Lee must delve deeply into books related to minerals.

The Magic Miner Association at “Mineral Elements” has what Noland Lee wants.

As soon as he entered “Mineral Elements,” his attention was drawn to the Magic Bulletin Board displaying prices information.

The bulletin board listed the average transaction price and quantity of each ore in the past seven days, as well as half a year of statistical data.

(Note: Price data is taken from a certain online game with complete industrial and market systems. Ore prices are only counted once, and subsequent releases will be based on plot needs.)

Blue Steel Stone is the best-selling ore, with prices consistently ranging from 100 to 200 gold coins per ton. The higher the ore grade, the more Blue Steel Alloy to be extracted, and the higher the price per unit of Blue Steel Stone.

The grade of ore is an important factor affecting the unit price, which leads to the difference between the lowest and highest unit prices of Blue Steel Stone being doubled.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Other deep-sea ores also follow this pattern.

For example, Dry Coke Stone is a deep-sea ore rich in Crystalloid Jelly Mine and Silver-Similar Metal. Crystalloid Jelly Mines have a soft texture and can be used as mana conduit pipelines. Silver-Similar Metal is very resilient and can be added to Blue Steel Alloy to produce extremely hard Refined Blue Steel Alloy.

As a deep-sea ore, the unit price of Dry Coke Stone is between 150 and 250 gold coins per ton.

Noland Lee used Deconstruction to throw 1,000 Energy Points at the Magic Bulletin Board, recording all the price data for the past half a year.

After completing this step, he, like a Death Wizard eager to make a fortune by prospecting ore veins, ran to the counter, asking questions about magical methods for prospecting ore veins.

Death Clan Wizards are in high demand in the prospecting industry, only second to Metal Series Wizards, Geo Wizards, and Elemental Wizards.

Metal Series Wizards rely on their sensing ability for metal materials to locate underground ore veins.

Geo Wizards and Elemental Wizards use their control of rock and soil energy to search for the location of underground ore veins.

Death Clan Wizards are quite unique.

They rely on their fearlessness of death to explore the depths of the sea and earth, examining the distribution of ore veins on-site.

Imagine that when other wizards wear a full set of magical protective gear to dive into the seabed, Death Clan Wizards would simply turn into skeletons and sink to the seabed without worrying about the negative factors like lack of oxygen.

The convenience between the two groups can be described as vastly different.

Of course, this assumes that the Undead Creatures transformed by Death Clan Wizards can withstand the pressure and corrosion of seawater. Otherwise, before sinking to the seabed, their Skeleton Body would be crushed into waste by the seawater.

Noland Lee is not interested in underwater mining for the time being.

He came here just for knowledge related to minerals.

The good news is that since the mining business is booming, “Mineral Elements” seized the market opportunity and transformed from a magic institution focused on exploration and mining of minerals to a service-based magic institution providing membership services.

The Pangula Family is behind “Mineral Elements.”

They used to make money by mining and selling minerals. This is a solid way to make money, but it is very laborious and often leads to trouble due to the backlog of minerals.

Now, they have found a lightweight, high-turnover way to make money: renting exploration equipment and mineral mining licenses.

Anyone who registers as a Basic Member will receive a Level 1 Mineral Mining License for the duration of their membership, allowing them to explore and mine on their own islands and nearby sea areas.

The registration fee for a Basic Member is 10,000 gold coins per year, which is a relatively low threshold.

However, the magic equipment for exploration and mining is charged separately and only rented, not sold. Rental fees are collected daily, starting at 1,000 gold coins a day.

Above the basic membership level, there are three more levels: Intermediate, Advanced, and Special, corresponding to Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 Mineral Mining Licenses.

Noland Lee paid a membership fee of 10,000 gold coins and registered as a Basic Member. He received a full set of books related to minerals from the counter.

There are six books in this set, and the cover reads “The Call of Deep Sea Minerals – Exclusive Reading for Members of Mineral Elements.”

Using his plans to finish reading the books as an excuse, Noland Lee declined the counter staff’s suggestion to rent exploration equipment.

He did not immediately use Deconstruction to absorb the contents of these books into his mind, as this would be related to the Control Variable Method.

Noland Lee took a car to the Island Exchange and found Saleswoman Nellie. They went to the east side of the archipelago together.

…

…

Near Snow Mountain Island 1.

Noland Lee and Nellie used Flight Spells to hover in the air, looking at the snow-covered mountain peak.

Facing the numerous cave entrances on the Snow Mountain Island 1, Noland Lee felt a bit excited.

Whether he could determine the presence of undiscovered ore reserves on an island through the reduction of Deconstruction Consumption would be revealed at this moment.

If his previous speculation was proven true, a road to amass millions or even billions of gold coins would be waiting for him.

“System, launch Deconstruction on Snow Mountain Island 1,” Noland Lee whispered in his heart.
