Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 296: 122. Reward and Participation

“The task deposit from Cat Society is 100,000 Union Coins. The remaining reward to be given after the task’s completion is 300,000 Union Coins.

“The spoils of war that I confiscated on the third underground level include 24 revolvers, 15 shotguns, 6 alchemy bombs, and 5 grenades. The quality of these items is quite low, with item levels of only three or four. In the game, they would be considered basic weapons at most. Well, I’ll sell them all to Iron Thorn Shield…

Inside the Alchemy Room of the long-term rented Alchemy Club “One-to-One Exchange”.

Now it’s noon the day after Spray Powder Day.

Early this morning, all the metallic dust in the city was completely collected, and the residents resumed their normal activities.

The members of the various factions who had been squatting in the underground waterway area also ended their tasks.

After Noland Lee left the underground, he slept for a while in the single cottage provided by the Iron Thorn Shield.

After eating and sleeping enough, he couldn’t wait to come to the club to count his loot.

He dumped the contents of his backpack on the large workbench, took out paper and pen, and appraised his spoils one by one, tallying up his harvest during Spray Powder Day.

Without even having to calculate, one could easily see that the main source of income came from Philia’s task rewards.

The next biggest reward came from guarding the Iron Thorn Shield’s territory on the Third Underground Level.

Not much money could be squeezed out of those ordinary gang members.

As for the alchemists of the Gang Sect, they had already been informed about Noland Lee’s pending duty to guard the Iron Thorn Shield’s territory. They didn’t show up during Spray Powder Day and just stayed obediently in their own territories.

Only those not-so-bright, ordinary gang members, who are focused solely on making money, would be blinded by their interests and end up delivering themselves to their deaths at Noland’s guarded areas.

After calculating the value of his spoils, Noland took a backpack full of supplies and left the club to exchange money with Kent from Iron Thorn Shield.

About an hour later, he pushed a trolley full of alchemy materials back into the alchemy room and began executing his two five-week plans.

In the “Five Week Plan Above Ground,” Noland decided to place his own “surveillance cameras” throughout Lower Town.

At first, he used a combination of “Pure Bone Card” and “Enslavement of Deceased” to control bird Lost Souls as “cameras.’

Now, he had a better plan.

All inspiration came from the recent acquisition of “The Third Bank of the

River of Mind: Volume One.”

In this magic textbook, there is such a spell:

[Name] Mind View

[Type] Mental Detection Magic [Level] Level 1, can be upgraded up to Level 100

[Comprehensiveness] 25%

[Effect]

The range of the magic vision is 25% of the target’s real vision range. During the effect of this spell, consume 1 point of energy every 10 minutes.

[Description]

The spell target must meet the following requirements:

The target must have a mind or be affected by a “Mental Beacon” effect applied by you.

The target must be completely unguarded against you.

If the target becomes aware of the spell’s existence, the spell will be forcibly interrupted.

As the duration of the spell progresses, the target’s chances of discovering the spell gradually increase.

When the target’s level surpasses the spell’s level, the target will certainly be able to “immediately discover” the existence of the spell.

Looking at the magic panel, you might not know what this spell means.

Try it yourself, and you’ll know the answer.

Noland Lee stood by the window and selected a silly bird idling on the eaves to cast “Mind View.”

The view in front of Noland changed from his own perspective to that of the silly bird.

Whatever the silly bird could see, he could see.

It was as if the bird had shared its field of view with him.

“Mind View” does not have any side effects. The “Soul Link” provided by the “Pure Bone Card,” on the other hand, causes psychic trauma to Noland when the link is forcibly severed.

From this perspective, “Mind View” is far more suitable for monitoring Lower Town than the “Enslavement of Deceased” + “Pure Bone Card” spell combination.

The only drawback is that “Mind View” has a completeness of only 25%.

If the silly bird could see things within a range of 100 meters, Noland would only be able to see things within a range of 25 meters from its perspective.

Scenes beyond the 25-meter range were just a hazy mist in Noland’s eyes, making it impossible to see the specific scenery there.

It doesn’t matter if the magic view range is limited, as this skill can be upgraded.

Noland moves his thoughts, selects the skill, and directly consumes 450 points of energy to raise “Mind View” to Level 10. [System Message:]

[“Mind View” level increased by 9, now at Level 10.]

[“Mind View” provided magic view range increased by 90%. Now, the range of magic view is 47-5% of the target’s real vision.] [You have activated the upgrade reward for breaking through to Level 10.]

[Please choose one of the following three options:]

[Option One: ]

[Magic view range increased by 50%, raising it to 60% of the target’s real vision.]

[Option Two:]

[“Mind View” adds new “High Efficiency Energy Saving Casting” feature. The consumption required for casting is permanently reduced by 90%.]

[Option Three:]

[“Mind View” adds new “Vision Leap” feature.]

[Select the first casting target and apply “Mind View” to open the Magic View..]
