Astral Cockroach

#134 - First come, first served

"Excuse me, is Mountain Lord Banbu there? I am Yuzhu from the Yellow Essence Trading Company."

Late at night, a shout suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

"I am here."

Banbu responded, crawled out of the cave, and looked down.

At the foot of the mountain, the Blood Thorns were shrouded, and Yuzhu was a little unable to find the way to the mountain, and shouted: "Mountain Lord Banbu, can I go up the mountain?"

"Yes, wait a moment!"

Banbu flapped his wings and flew down beside Yuzhu, and said: "Yuzhu, please follow me."

"Thank you! Enthusiastic Mountain Lord Banbu."

Yuzhu's attitude has changed significantly compared to last year.

Banbu was strange and asked: "Yuzhu, why did you come alone this year?"

In fact, Banbu was more curious that Yuzhu arrived earlier than Chonglou. Chonglou took the straight line, but the Yellow Essence trading company had to make a big circle from the Sheep Hoof Mountains.

Yuzhu did not hide it, and said: "In Autumn Maple County, I heard that your Emerald Bamboo God-given seed blossomed and bore fruit last year, and the quality of the bamboo fruit is good. This is great news. I parted ways with Princess Yellow Essence in Autumn Maple County and went straight to Li Bamboo Peak to congratulate you."

Yuzhu said solemnly: "Mountain Lord Banbu, congratulations!"

Traveling merchants are indeed a group of insects that act for profit.

Racial friendship still has to be ranked behind interests.

Banbu said enthusiastically: "Congratulations! Congratulations! At the same time, welcome your trading company to come."

Yuzhu continued to praise: "Facts have proved that bamboo seeds are extremely potential plants. Mountain Lord Banbu, I admire your vision even more!"

Still quite shameless. When I came last year, I was not optimistic about the Emerald Bamboo God-given seed, and I didn't talk about the transaction at all. This year, I rushed to Li Bamboo Peak, and then all kinds of compliments and praises.

"So so, good luck, all thanks to the blessing of the True God of Nature!"

Banbu perfunctorily said, feeling that he might have underestimated this guy Yuzhu.

Yuzhu continued to praise: "Mountain Lord Banbu, your growth rate also amazes me. You have grown into a high-level warrior in just one year. This is the only thing I have ever seen in my life."

Banbu said: "I still have to thank your Iridescent Flame Spider tribe. Thanks to the raw stones sponsored by Mountain Lord Chonglou last year, I was able to grow so quickly."

Sure enough, when Chonglou was mentioned, Yuzhu seemed a little nervous, but he calmed down and asked: "Mountain Lord Banbu, how is the quality of your Purple Gold Bamboo Rice improving?"

Banbu said: "Not very ideal, barely passable."

Yuzhu asked: "What about the quantity?"

Banbu said: "As predicted, there are 2,187 more tillers, not many, and I need to grow to the 4-year-old advanced warrior stage before they will continue to tiller. In a short time, the output, quality and income will not be ideal."

"A very good income." Yuzhu was not disappointed, and continued to ask: "What about the Emerald Bamboo God-given seed? From a long distance, I felt its Origin Power fluctuations. Mountain Lord Banbu, can you take me to see it?"

"Of course." Banbu first agreed, then changed the subject and said: "The Emerald Bamboo God-given seed is at a critical point of transformation and growth. Let's stand further away and watch, don't disturb the tree spirit."

A very subtle refusal.

Yuzhu did not realize it, and while walking up the mountain, he asked: "Mountain Lord Banbu, I heard Princess Autumn Maple say that your Emerald Bamboo God-given seed produces bamboo fruit every year, half of which is sold to the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe, and half is left to the trading company."

"That's right, I kept samples, which can be used for your tasting later." Banbu said: "However, Mountain Lord Chonglou's trading company has paid a deposit, and the bamboo fruit produced this year must be reserved for it."

Yuzhu asked: "Its deposit is far from enough, right?"

Banbu paused and said: "As the Mountain Lord of Li Bamboo Peak, I must pay attention to my own reputation, and I should also pay attention to some friendship. Mountain Lord Chonglou and them have helped me, and the bamboo fruit should be given priority to satisfy its trading company."

"That's right, transactions pay attention to first come, first served, this is the rule of our traveling merchants. Mountain Lord Banbu, I can understand your approach, and I admire you very much." After Yuzhu finished speaking, he continued: "However, I came first this year. According to the rules, I have priority. I have no objection to the deposit."

"Go up the mountain first, taste the quality of the bamboo fruit first, and then discuss it." Banbu changed the subject and asked: "Yuzhu, you must have heard a lot about the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe's land reclamation and expansion along the way, right?"

"Hey, along the way, every mountain range lord is talking about this." Yuzhu sighed: "The Jade Orchid and Stone Nan Mountains have been desolate for too long. There are more beast warriors than usual, often forming tribes. Land reclamation and expansion is like war. Many high-level warriors have been lost, and even mountain lords have been injured."

"A large number of beast warriors rushed out of the encirclement and spread around, and all the nearby mountain ranges suffered. The Flower Cockroach Kingdom has paid a lot for this."

Yuzhu was talking vigorously, noticed that Banbu's emotions were not right, paused, and asked: "Mountain Lord Banbu, your Jinping Mountain Range is far away, so it won't be affected, right?"

"A little affected." Banbu said: "A high-level warrior was lost."

"The one from last year?" Yuzhu asked, his mental power swept over, and he happened to see Feng Ling rushing towards this side, and then found the aura of the big bear on the mountain, and said in surprise: "Beast warrior?!"

Banbu explained simply: "When the bamboo fruit matured last year, there was a Viper warrior attacking Li Bamboo Peak. Thanks to the help of this black bear warrior, we survived the disaster. Afterwards, we stayed."

Yuzhu immediately echoed: "Not all beast warriors are violent and unreasonable. After all, they have developed intelligence, and many of them are reasonable, such as the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan."

Yuzhu asked strangely: "Li Bamboo Peak lost a high-level warrior?"

Banbu said: "Not Li Bamboo Peak, but Iron Saber Mountain Range. A wild Snake Vine God-given seed that has grown to scale has been found in the southeast section of Jinping Mountain Range, which is managed by Iron Saber Mountain Range. The annual output is not small, and the quality is no worse than Purple Gold Bamboo Rice. If you are interested, you can go and see."

"Southern Snake Tendon Vine? Pods? Seeds are easy to store!" Yuzhu said happily: "If the scale is still acceptable, it would be a good deal!"

Li Bamboo flew down.

After greeting, the group walked and chatted, climbing the southeast side of the mountain.

Datou had already ordered the worker ants to bring three samples of bamboo fruit.

"Yuzhu, please taste!"

Banbu handed the bamboo fruit forward.

Yuzhu took the bamboo fruit, first scanned it with mental power, and praised: "Very good quality, big size, and each one is very heavy!"

He swallowed it in one gulp, and after a while, he praised: "The strengthening effect is also very good!"

Banbu handed the other two bamboo fruits to Yuzhu and said: "The bamboo fruit produced this year may not be sold to you. However, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future. These two bamboo fruits are given to you as samples to facilitate early promotion."

Yuzhu asked: "What about next year?"

Banbu shook his antennae and said: "I'm afraid it won't work next year either. There is only so much bamboo fruit produced. Half of it is sold to the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe, and the remaining half is sold to the trading company. It doesn't make sense to split it up again."

Yuzhu could not hide his dissatisfaction and asked: "Mountain Lord Banbu, I came first this year. Don't you even want to listen to my purchase price?"

"The price difference will not be too big. That is a dispensable small profit. Friendship is important." Banbu stretched out his forelimbs, pointed to the foot of the mountain, and asked: "Yuzhu, haven't you noticed? The cluster of Blood Thorns at the foot of the mountain is very unique!"

Yuzhu looked in the direction pointed by the toe, first puzzled, then shocked.
