Chapter 827: 262. Speed up underwater

Day and night cycled, nightfall came, the deep sea grew dark.

Noland Lee finished his daytime cultivation and returned to the magic yacht.

Denise Green had prepared dinner.

While Noland Lee was eating a slice of bread with ham, he opened the panel for “Starfall Sea No. 13 Subarea”.

Compared to the 1% completed panel, the panel at 10% completion was much more detailed.

There’s not much to say about the standard ocean data, but Noland was focused on the system’s prediction of the future.

At 10% completion, the system message read:

…

[Description]

System prediction:

The “Starfall Sea No. 13 Subarea” may receive treasures from the Spinning Continent within the next 30 days.

…

In the next 30 days, treasures will arrive…

The system’s message was vivid and clear.

Now it was difficult for Noland not to believe that it was predicting the future.

But how did the system make this prediction?

Noland concentrated on reading the tens of thousands of words in the panel information.

A segment on the subarea panel caught his attention.

…

[Name] Starfall Sea No. 13 Subarea

[Functions]

1. Absorption of magic

This sea area contains an abundance of deep sea magic power.

One can enjoy at least a 200% environmental bonus while absorbing deep sea magic power here. The deeper one goes, the higher the bonus.

2. Deep sea exploration

There are at least five undersea caves, three ocean currents, and two deep sea demons in this area.

3. Resource exploitation

The ore reserves of this sea area amount to at least 720,000 tons, mainly consisting of concentrated dry coke stone, rich blue steel stones, large sedimentary rocks, and rich abyssal stones.

4. Dragon clan storage site (suspected)

The power of the rules left behind from the Era of Dragons seems not to have ceased with the extinction of the giant dragons.

This sea area might be one of the storage sites used by the giant dragons to accumulate items. It periodically and regularly receives dragon clan items from the Spinning Continent.

(The degree of deconstruction is insufficient, the ‘Functions’ entry may have discrepancies.)

…

The words “Dragon Clan Storage Site” that appeared on the panel for Subarea No. 13 were also present on the panels for the other three subareas.

This must be why the Starfall Sea area occasionally receives dragon clan collections.

The power of the rules left from the Era of Dragons makes Starfall Sea such a special place.

Noland nodded inwardly when he saw these details.

He was peeking into a small part of the era’s secrets.

Noland had a premonition:

As long as he brought the completion rate of the Starfall Sea subareas up to 100%, he would be able to know precisely what the rules’ power left by the dragon clan was.

Moreover, it was based on the rules’ power left by the dragon clan that the system predicted the timing of the treasure’s arrival in the Starfall Sea subareas.

Once the completion rate reached 100%, the system might be able to pinpoint the exact second of the treasure’s arrival.

With this in mind, Noland saw a promising path unfold before him.

“Once I’ve explored all the non-metallic mineral veins of the Suman Archipelago, I’ll take the time to stake out in Starfall Sea.

“With the guidance of the system, I will not miss a single treasure event.

“Although others may discern if treasures have fallen in a subarea through flashed points on the Spinning Continent, the treasure timing I get from the system will undoubtedly be the most accurate. I won’t have to wait at sea for several days like others, wasting precious time.”

Noland mused to himself and stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, saying:

“Denise, you and the Snow-winged Cat rest for now, I’m going to take another turn at the seabed.”

“Okay~ Be careful, the seawater is too dark at night, and nothing can be seen clearly…”

Denise cleaned up the dinner table and the leftovers, efficient and capable.

She ran her hand over the back of Noland’s hand, casting a “Reverse Death Barrier” with the effect of “Continuous Regeneration” to protect him.

Noland bumped against Denise and hugged the Snow-winged Cat a few times, then made his way to the boat’s stern where the pressure cabin was, entering the pitch-black water.

He dived down the familiar path to where he had lingered during the day.

Practicing meditation, enduring the water pressure, absorbing magic power, and swallowing seawater, time slowly passed amidst these activities.

Around 9 p.m., while Noland was submerged in the water, he suddenly felt a touch on his soul.

He activated “Soul Perception” and heard Denise’s voice.

“Noland! I just saw some beams of light sweeping over from above the water. But it’s strange, I didn’t feel any unusual energy fluctuations, and the early warning array in the control room remained silent. Could it be light columns from the Spinning Continent? The lights flashed too quickly, I didn’t see them clearly…”

Noland raised an eyebrow, saying warmly in his mind:

“I’m on my way back now.”noveldrama

“Mmm!” Denise responded.

Noland activated “Water Walking Technique,” shooting towards the magic yacht above.

As he approached the yacht’s pressure cabin, several light columns swept across from the sea surface, casting a hazy and brief glow into the water.
