Astral Cockroach

The Cedar Roach King possessed three God-given Seeds, one of which was a Black Date tree God-given Seed called "Frost Shadow", which enhanced the "Ability to Sense Divine Power Meridians."

A small tree, of low-grade top quality, a whole grade higher than Banbu's Nether Bamboo Rice.

The greatest use of the ability to sense Divine Power Meridians lies in combat. In battle, one can instantly determine the opponent's ability type, and when the opponent uses their ability, accurately sense it and make preemptive preparations for defense.

In terms of practical value, for the war-torn human race, sensing Divine Power Meridians is more useful than sensing Origin Power.

However, on this planet, where there is little fighting, the situation is reversed, and sensing Origin Power can be used to find God-given Seeds, making it more valuable than sensing Divine Power Meridians.

This is just right.

Nether Bamboo Rice is one grade lower in quality than Frost Shadow Black Dates, but one grade higher in practical value, canceling each other out, allowing for an equivalent exchange, with neither side suffering a loss.

The Cedar Roach King was the most straightforward insect Banbu had ever met when it came to talking and getting things done.

Before Banbu could say anything, it settled the transaction details in a few words: Starting next year, exchange enough each year to strengthen 5 warriors, with regular transactions every late autumn, until one side feels it has enough, and proposes to terminate the transaction.

A mutually beneficial and fair transaction, Banbu only managed to say "Agreed" from beginning to end.

With the most important matter settled, the Cedar Roach King felt cheerful and continued, "Mountain Lord Banbu, with all due respect, the Crimson Roach Tribe is a small tribe, and your strength is too weak. If you're smart, it's best not to publicly solicit the job of opening cabinets and boxes. If you do, the price you charge must not be lower than that of other insect warriors."

Banbu said, "I understand that. A group of Roach King-level old guys have joined forces to create a monopoly, and I can't afford to offend them."

"It's good that you understand," the Cedar Roach King said. "However, if you only help open some cabinets and boxes in the Shuo Roach and Fire Roach Kingdoms, they won't care, nor will they interfere."

Outside the Illusionary Mist Barrier, insect kingdoms from more than half of the Eastern Continent of the Myriad Races Continent had gathered, with hundreds of large and small races participating in the treasure hunt.

Not only the Orchid Mountains, but also a large number of treasures fell in other mountain ranges and even the Mist Mountain borders corresponding to neighboring kingdoms. The entire treasure hunting front stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

Most of the good things from beyond the sky fell into the Mist Mountains, and the interests involved were worth billions in Origin Stones.

If Banbu only took on jobs in the Shuo Roach Kingdom and the Fire Roach Kingdom, the business he would be taking away would only be a small part, and since they were closely related races, those tribes with a monopoly should not interfere too much.

Banbu obtaining benefits alone, taking everything for himself, would be a decent income.

The Cedar Roach King was unwilling to offend those Roach Kings who monopolized the lock-picking business, but also unwilling to suffer losses, and was eager to make this happen, saying, "I will discuss this matter with the Fire Peach Roach King, and then explain it to the Spruce Mantis King. You can rest assured and boldly open for us, and there won't be any trouble."

Banbu asked, "What about the remuneration?"

The Cedar Roach King said, "I won't cheat you. The boxes containing Origin Power Crystals are indeed difficult to open, so it's still 10 Origin Stones. Ordinary cabinets containing Origin Power food, each cabinet has nine boxes, you can take one box. If you come across that kind of door… doors are the most difficult to open, you can take 20% of the income."

Banbu pondered slightly and agreed, "Okay! Thank you!"

… …

After the discussion, Banbu carried White Bamboo back to the Crimson Firm Tribe's treasure hunting base.

He greeted the Crimson Firm Roach King, and then took King Rat with him to a place rich in Origin Power.

Absorbing Origin Power to recover the consumption of opening doors.

"White Bamboo, quickly open your backpack and let Baba come out to bask in the sun for a while."

"Oh." White Bamboo quickly took off the backpack, took out the disc-shaped robot, and placed it on the ground.

Banbu cleared the grass and leaves from the ground and repositioned the robot.

King Rat looked puzzled and asked, "Banbu, what is this?"

Banbu said, "An intelligent robot, an electronic life form, a special life form created by an evil race from beyond the sky. It's called Baba, has the highest configuration, and also possesses some extremely useful abilities."

White Bamboo squinted and asked suspiciously, "Banbu, how do you know?"

Banbu fabricated, "There are memories in my inherited memories about the evil race from beyond the sky."

So that's how it is.

White Bamboo and King Rat both believed it to be true: Banbu looked different from the others, and at the same time awakened two abilities, metal and flame. It was said that he was favored by the insect gods, so it was normal to have different inherited memories.

King Rat asked, "Banbu, what abilities does it have?"

"It's currently out of energy and can't demonstrate," Banbu's antennae pointed to the sky, and said, "Bask in the sun for a while to replenish energy."

White Bamboo said in surprise, "Bask in the sun? Is that photosynthesis? Does it have the same abilities as plants?"

"… …" Banbu said, "Tata might have knowledge about this in its memory. You can ask it later."

White Bamboo lowered its mental power and said mysteriously, "Banbu, I feel it's very hard. Is the material used for its outer shell similar to the Silver Edge weapon?"

Banbu replied, "That's right, it's almost the highest strength metal material."

Not only the outer shell, but Baba's entire body, inside and out, uses the best materials, especially the storage device where the electronic life lives, which uses a star-realm metal core with ultra-large information storage capabilities.

In human society, electronic pets come in all shapes and sizes, with varying qualities, and Baba belongs to the most expensive type.

When it is produced, it is like a baby being born, starting from scratch, growing bit by bit, forming its own independent thinking and unique personality. The most outstanding benefit of the top configuration is that it has an infinitely long lifespan, longer than that of a Dominator Realm human warrior, and can accompany its owner until the end of their life.

The outer shell has a photoelectronic coating, and restoring energy through light is just an insignificant side function, which comes in handy at this time.

Banbu had no other choice but to let it bask in the sun to recover for the time being.

After a long time, Banbu felt that Baba had stored a little energy, but there was no movement. He took the initiative to communicate, "These two are my partners, trustworthy partners."

"Who are you? Why do you know Felin and Baba? Which galaxy is this? Which specific star system? Why does this planet have such a rich natural Origin Power?"

The childish girl's voice was full of vigilance.

Electronic life forms can receive mental power information through built-in instruments, but cannot communicate using mental power. Baba used human language.

White Bamboo and King Rat listened blankly, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Banbu said, "My name is Banbu Hoss, Thunder Expeditionary Force, Seventh Army, Logistics Transportation Unit, 419 Team, military job number G-11-A71402. Your database should have my information recorded, right?"

"You… you…" Baba was first surprised and incredulous, then vigilant.

It was wary of White Bamboo and King Rat.

Banbu waved its antennae and said, "They are ignorant ordinary beasts who evolved into beast warriors and don't understand human language."

Baba immediately asked, "Why did you become a Roach? Which galaxy is this? Do you know the specific coordinates? Can you send out a distress signal? Have you seen Major General Felin… I've exhausted as much of my reserve energy as possible, how long has it been? Felin, she…"

As Baba spoke, it became sad.

"I don't know where this is, and I haven't seen Major General Felin," Banbu said seriously. "When the spaceship crashed, I was on duty outside the warehouse where the metal core was stored. At the first moment, my body was torn apart by the spatial turbulence, and my soul instinctively entrusted itself to a Dominator Realm metal core, surviving by luck and lodging in the body of a cockroach on this planet, reincarnated."

"The process sounds simple, but there are too many incomprehensible things in between, Baba. Can you help me analyze the reason?"

Baba replied, "I have no energy."

"You bask in the sun first, and I'll find a way to recharge you later," Banbu asked. "What exactly happened to the spaceship?"

"Spatial turbulence," Baba replied affirmatively, then said, "The knowledge I have cannot analyze why it would appear without warning on the ship's scheduled safe route."

Banbu asked, "And then? Why did you appear in the cargo hold?"

Baba said, "At the time of the incident, I was accompanying Felin on an inspection of the warehouse area. After the spatial turbulence, there was endless darkness, no starlight, no medium, no Origin Power, not even a trace of energy, and what's even stranger is that the distress signal could not be released. Felin said that we were trapped in some kind of divine power, she sent me into the cargo hold, and then… she went to fight."

Banbu asked, "Fight?"

Baba replied, "Yes, the spaceship was broken, but there must still be survivors. Breaking the divine power is the only way to rescue everyone and call for help from the Federation."

Banbu asked, "And then she never came back?"

Baba said sadly, "I've been waiting for her."

"I understand a little now," Banbu thought of a possibility, was horrified, and after a long time, took a deep breath and comforted, "Baba, you bask in the sun first, store some energy, follow me first, and when I become a cosmic warrior again, I will take you to find Felin."

Baba asked, "Too much time has passed, is she still alive?"

Electronic life forms possess a lot of knowledge, and although they sound like innocent children, they are actually impossible to fool. They know better than Banbu that the possibility of Felin surviving to this day is infinitely close to zero.

Banbu didn't know how to comfort it for a while.
