Astral Ant Tribe

Bai Fan lives with Red Fox and Wu Fan, and the three intelligent beings communicate with each other. Compared with Ghost Fan, they are obviously much more spiritual.

He looks very smart, maybe, probably, and indeed smart.

But it was Baifan's first time contacting the food trade with the Force. He felt cheated and wanted to bargain, but he had little knowledge and experience. Every time he raised objections to the price, he was defeated by Long Bai with clever verbal reasons.

Long Bai counts Baifan to death.

Set the unit price, and finally count the number of various force foods and add up the total price.

Long Bai: "The total is 1,648 rough stones. If I round it up, I'll give you 1,650."

Long Bai: "The only goods that are carried on the ruler's throne are ghost fans and southern jujubes."

Bai Fan: "Ghost Fan! You can also try a few southern jujubes..."

Wufan climbed onto Baifan's head, waving his tentacles constantly and slapping Baifan's head, looking a little anxious.

Red Fox asked helpfully: "Longbai Ant King, how do you sell your kind of ant honey? Xiaowufan likes to eat it very much."

Long Bai had already noticed that this was a cheerful and lively little warrior, as greedy as Mo Lan, and he looked a little spoiled by the red fox.

Long Bai regretted: "The ant honey brewed by Force Food needs special containers to preserve it. Otherwise, when exposed to the air, the Force contained in it will slowly lose. I'm sorry, we didn't bring that kind of container with us on this trip."

Mo Lan said: "Although your gourd can be used as a container, it cannot store ant honey containing the Force. It can only send some ordinary ant honey."

"Okay. Ordinary ant honey will do too. Thanks." Red Fox agreed to express his thanks and warned:

"For the early summer trade next year, please remember to bring a container that can store Force Ant Honey. Remember to bring more Force Ant Honey, which is beneficial to the growth of Xiaowufan. I'll buy it!"

"No problem!" Long Bai agreed readily.

Bai Fan had been immersed in settling the accounts, and after struggling for a while, he sighed: "Longbai Ant King, give me 60 ghost fans and 15 southern jujubes."

Huh! Sold.

Long Bai was secretly happy and said calmly: "That's just right. The total price is 1,650 rough stones."

Long Bai counted 60 ghost fans and put them into one gourd, and counted 15 south jujube seeds and put them into another gourd.

At the same time, to control the blue ants, I prepared a small half gourd of ant honey for it, and thoughtfully included a colorful spider silk rope, which was tied to the neck of the gourd and knotted to leave a buckle for easy grabbing.

Mo Lan carried the gourd to the ground and handed it to the little ball warrior.

Long Bai asked: "Baifan, you should have a lot of gourd containers like this, right? Can you give me a few?"

Bai Fan: "Five for you."

Bai Fan explained: "I only have one gourd seed, which only produces a fixed number of 11 gourd fruits every year."

"Thanks."

Long Bai counted out 5 gourds and put the other 5 into the spider silk bag.

Mo Lan returned to the throne, carrying the spider silk bag, and handed it to Bai Fan.

The property of both parties is cleared, and the transaction is completed.

Long Bai: "I can also get various precious plant seeds. After each transaction, I can get two as a bonus. Baifan, do you need anything?"

Baifan: "Ianshu?"

Long Bai: "With all due respect, among the 42 species of rice trees recorded in inherited memory, only the white rice tree is worth cultivating, and the others are relatively average. Since there is already a wild white rice tree that is a god-given seed, there is no need to cultivate more .”

Long Bai emphasized: "I can get better plant seeds, which are excellent in strengthening effect, quality, and yield. By choosing these top plants in the continent as life seeds, the territory's income can be greatly increased every year, which is more conducive to your future evolution." growing up."

Bai Fan: "Longbai Ant King, I can choose the top plants you mentioned as life seeds, but at the same time, I can also cultivate various ordinary rice trees on a large scale in the hope of giving birth to another rice tree god-given seed. Preferences It doesn’t conflict with the choice of destiny, does it?”

"That's right! Smart bug!" Long Bai praised without hesitation.

Mo Lan: "You want us to help collect rice tree seeds? This is a very troublesome matter, and we need to charge a certain amount of compensation."

Bai Fan: "This is what it should be...how to calculate the rough stones?"

Mo Lan: "Do you want to collect specific varieties of rice trees? Or do you not mind the varieties, you want all varieties?"

White rice: "Except for white rice and black rice, I want all other varieties."

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "It depends on the variety. I will find you more than 10 seeds for each variety and charge you 50 rough stones as a hard-earned fee..."

…

We spent a long time negotiating many other transactions, chatting and exchanging some experiences and technologies in territorial management.

Rest overnight.

At dawn, Long Bai and Mo Lan said goodbye and left.

Watching the throne of control turn into blue light spots and disappear among the mountains in the west.

Bai Fan looked back and asked: "Red Fox, what do you think of this Long Bai Ant King?"

"Okay!" Wufan, who was standing on the gourd, responded, waving his tentacles vigorously and saying with all his strength: "The ant honey is delicious! I like Longbai!"

The red fox gently raised its paw, patted the bird's tentacles, and said calmly: "There is no malice. They are very smart. They come here to make profits."

Red Fox said happily: "We have a wild white rice god-given seed, white rice, and black rice. With the traveling merchant trade, you will definitely be able to successfully grow into mountain master-level ball warriors."

Bai Fan felt a little sad and said, "But they came too late..."

…

The strong wind roared, rolling up the waves of the forest and sea.

Mo Lan asked excitedly: "Long Bai, how much did we earn from this transaction?"

Long Bai: "Collect the rough stones at a price of 1,650, add some more later, and sell them to Ghost Fan at a price of 2,000."

Mo Lan: "Add more?"

Long Bai: "Add another 50 rough stones of Shilan and Jianlan seeds to complete it and enrich the categories."

Mo Lan calculated for a while and said: "That means earning 300 rough stones? It's a bit small."

"few?"

Long Bai shook his tentacles, a little speechless, and asked: "Mo Lan, how many ghost fans can we get from the ghost fan for 2,000 rough stones?"

Mo Lan: "The ghost fan is purchased for 18 rough stones, and 2,000 rough stones means..."

Long Bai: "111."

Mo Lan: "We will sell it to Bai Fan and Red Fox at a unit price of 25 rough stones, that is..."

Long Bai: "2775 rough stones."

"Wow!"

Mo Lan exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.

One buys and one sells, making money on both ends. If you trade back and forth, the profits will be quite considerable.

Mo Lan said happily: "Long Bai, we should give the place where Red Fox and Bai Fan live a name."

Long Bai: "Baifanshan?"

Mo Lan: "That should be it."

Mo Lan paused and said: "Longbai, the ant honey brewed by blue ants is very popular. We can buy more metal cans from the caravan, and simply mix various force foods to make 'ant king honey' , sold in packages, sold by cans.”

Long Bai had already had this idea.

Long Bai: "Then we need to wait until the year after tomorrow, after meeting Bai Wei, before making any plans."

Mo Lan: "Why? Isn't there Luo Li?"

"No!"

Long Bai said: "The cargo that the Flamewatari Spider's back armor can carry is limited."

"Luoluo has a fixed trade relationship with many rich insects. Luolu is very rich, and its carapace is full of raw stones and force food. It is popular wherever it goes."

"Baiwei, on the other hand, is relatively poor. The number of Zerg warriors who have established fixed trading relationships is small and poor. Baiwei has very few raw stones and force food, so it came up with a 'metal can' that is heavy and takes up space. , but it’s worthless things. It makes the goods on your back look plentiful and rich.”

Long Bai concluded: "This is a kind of disguise. The purpose is to make oneself look very powerful, and it is easier to win the respect and trust of other insects, and then reach a stable trading relationship."

Mo Lan: "Uh..."

Don't you think Bai Wei is stupid?

The Flame Spider Caravan has quite a few tricks up its sleeve.

Mo Lan was speechless.
