Chapter 847 - 848: The Purple Dragon of Padmasha! (Added for book friends with monthly tickets!)
Chu You once again entered the control room platform and after pouring in some Qi, he reviewed the information displayed by the drilling platform.
Instrument: Detected deep sea Divine Vein Ore containing 1 million gems in total, 45216 of which have already been collected.
The number of gems collected was continuously increasing, while the total available was steadily decreasing.
It was evident that the other four drilling platforms were still operational, which explained the increasing collection count.
This led to a conclusion: there were a total of 1 million gems in the Divine Vein Ore site beneath the deep sea. Given Chu You’s collection method, a single drilling platform could collect 20,000 gems every 2 days, so five platforms would collect 100,000 gems in the same timeframe.
The total was 1 million, so theoretically, it would take 20 days to completely extract the 1 million gems from the Divine Vein Ore site!
But reality was harsh, for Chu You didn’t have sufficient Qi Points to support such frenzied activity!
Around the Neutral Island in The Great Wave Sonata, there were only 13 million Qi Points remaining in the world, enough for only two and a half collections, yielding 100,000 Divine Vein Ore gems each time, twice amounting to 200,000. Right now, the Qi Points remaining in the Extreme Path Chaotic Silk were 6 million, along with Jin Chuiduo’s Golden Datura Soulpiece, both of which also required Qi Points for storage!
When calculated with the Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Stone formula, 10 million Qi Points equaled 100,000 Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Stones, which equaled 3 million Gold Coins. For Chu You to gather everything within 20 days, he would need to pay a steep price of over 100 million Gold Coins!
If he were to fill the Extreme Path Chaotic Silk and Jin Chuiduo’s Golden Datura Soulpiece with Qi Points—a total of 5 million Qi Points—then the Qi Points around Neutral Island would decrease to just 8 million, allowing for only one and a half openings. This would increase the quantity of Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Stones required, thus increasing the consumption of his own Gold Coins. One opening costs 3 million Gold Coins to start a drilling platform that runs for 30 minutes with a 2-day cooldown, yielding 20,000 Divine Rune Stones. The calculations... he would have to figure those out himself...
As a reborn individual, Chu You knew more than just the existence of Qi in The Great Wave Sonata’s Neutral Island...
