Astral Cockroach

"I ate 58. Is that not enough?" Banbu asked, "Baba, what exactly are the strengthening effects? I feel there are benefits, but I can't distinguish what they are specifically."

"That's because you ate too few," Baba said. "Based on your current state, you need to consume at least 1000 to have a relatively clear feeling, and you can consume up to 3000."

"The specific uses, simply put, are to coordinate genetic conflicts… There are slight conflicts between genetic genes and Origin Force genes, and there are also certain conflicts between different types of Origin Force genes. Especially for you, who awakened both metal and flame abilities at the same time, the conflict between Origin Force genes is the most intense. It's not fatal, but your future growth will definitely be affected to some extent."

"There are too many benefits of O-type Origin Force food. It increases the probability of successful gene evolution; it reduces the probability of erroneous genes appearing during cell division; it reduces the amount of harmful impurities produced during cell metabolism… At the Origin Force creature level, it optimizes Origin Force patterns and enhances the power of elemental abilities; at the cosmic life level, it enhances the power of supernatural abilities."

"You are constantly growing, and Origin Force genes are constantly being born in your cells, so you can keep eating O-type Origin Force food, keep eating it, and there will always be benefits."

"It really is a good thing…" Banbu thought for a moment, then sighed, "Those insects in Chiwu Mountain have felt the benefits of this thing and are holding it very tightly. I'm afraid there won't be a chance to get more."

"Nonsense, as long as you've eaten one, even a fool can sense that it has benefits, they just can't tell what they are specifically," Baba also said with emotion, "This planet is so wonderful, it seems to encompass all types of Origin Force food in the universe, it has all the good things."

Banbu asked, "Baba, do humans also have O-type Origin Force plants?"

Baba said, "There is one. A Third-Class Soldier isn't qualified to come into contact with it. It's normal that you don't know."

…

This Bixue Longan is good, but unfortunately, the demand is too great.

In Banbu's current state, eating 1000 will only show initial effects, and eating 3000 is needed to reach peak effect.

The Bixue God-Given Seed in Chiwu Mountain has a fruiting cycle of 13 years, and each time it only produces 999 fruits.

Well, don't overthink it, there's no chance to get that many.

Chiwu Mountain also has ordinary Bixue Longan, which some warriors nurture as their Life Seed. Banbu has tasted it, and the effect is similar, but much weaker.

Ordinary Bixue Longan trees take a long time to nurture into a Life Seed, and the number of fruits produced is small. Chiwu Mountain doesn't think much of this tree species. Perhaps there's a chance to get a few ordinary Bixue Longan seeds to plant myself… But the subtropical temperature isn't enough, I'm afraid they won't survive.

…

Banbu returned to the mountain, and Hongdao was the first to discover him, then ran up to greet him.

"Banbu, you're back!"

"Eh! What is this? It looks delicious."

"Chiwu Mountain specialty, Bixue Longan." Banbu tossed the thing to Hongdao and said, "It doesn't have any special use, just for novelty. Take it and have a taste."

Duzhu followed closely behind.

Before Duzhu could ask, Banbu preemptively asked, "Duzhu, how are the bamboo species experiments coming along? How is the development of Duzhu-1? Can we carry out large-scale crossbreeding this year?"

"Uh…" Duzhu watched as Hongdao swallowed the Bixue Longan in one bite, then looked at the empty Origin Force food boxes for a few seconds, and asked, "Banbu, what did you say? Delicious? Where did it go?"

"All you know is eating!" Banbu waved his antennae and knocked Duzhu on the head, saying, "I'm asking you, how is the bamboo species cultivation going?"

"It's okay, I guess," Duzhu reacted and said, "Last year, we harvested 31 Duzhu-1 progenitor seeds. The bamboo fruits were sown last year during the late autumn rainy season, and all of them sprouted successfully and grew up. Now, the first bamboo poles have grown to about 1.5 meters, and the underground stems are developing well. It is estimated that the second and third bamboo poles will be drawn out soon. Among them, there are 2 that are growing the best, and the 4th bamboo pole can be drawn out this year."

Duzhu reluctantly picked up the two Origin Force food boxes and looked through them, continuing to introduce, saying, "Banbu, I plan to focus on using the pollen of those 2 Duzhu-1 that are growing the best to pollinate the Holy Sound Bamboo, and first cultivate a high-quality hybrid corresponding to the Holy Sound Bamboo."

"Next year, we will crossbreed with the Thunder Sound Bamboo."

Banbu said, "I have important things to do next year, and I have to go to Chiwu Mountain again. Don't delay the crossbreeding experiment between Duzhu-1 and Thunder Sound Bamboo, do it this year."

Banbu continued, "I've seen the Dragon Bamboo's condition, it shouldn't be a problem for it to advance to a L9 Advanced Warrior this autumn. Duzhu, you should be fine too, right? You can advance to a L2 Mountain Lord this autumn, right?"

Baba listlessly helped answer, "Duzhu's condition is okay, there's no problem."

Banbu said, "That's good, at most two God-Given Seeds. If there are two, you and Dragon Bamboo will each have one. If there is one, Duzhu, you will nurture it."

"Okay!" Duzhu responded.

Banbu then pointed to the bamboo tube and said, "The Mazu distorted species has been brought back, 100 whole seeds. Open up a special nursery near the foot of the mountain and sow them quickly. We must cultivate Mazu-1 this year."

"In addition, the Duzhu distorted species, Mazu distorted species, Duzhu-1, and Mazu-1 seeds must be concentrated and sown in a location that is biased toward the mountain, away from the route of the trade caravan, and don't let the trade caravan know about it for the time being, lest they spread the news wildly across the continent again."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Understood!" Duzhu agreed. Now, it is responsible for sowing all the important bamboo species on the mountain.

Hongdao finally digested the Origin Force of a Bixue Longan and asked, "Banbu, are you going to Chiwu Mountain again?"

Banbu said, "I have to go over there again. I'm afraid I'll be busy there for a long time. Oil Tea and Rat King will go with me."

"What are you busy with?" Duzhu muttered, "I guessed it, the Mazu distorted species wouldn't be so easy to get."

Hongdao said solemnly, "Last winter, news came from Chijian County that after the trade blockade, the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan attempted to plunder southward, but was intercepted. If the blockade continues, those beasts may go crazy."

Duzhu finally woke up and worriedly said, "Yes, Banbu, you can't leave Lizhu Peak easily!"

"It doesn't matter," Banbu said, "Chiwu Mountain will send a Ghost King and a Butterfly King to help guard the place. I'm going to help them, and our Lizhu Peak will be safer instead."

"Butterfly King?" Duzhu asked suspiciously.

"Narrow Butterfly," Banbu said, "Narrow Butterflies also mainly feed on nectar. Let Xiangpu collect more nectar in the next two years and store it, we can't be negligent."

Hongdai asked, "Banbu, what are you going to do there?"

Banbu said, "Don't ask."

Other members of the mountain came one after another, greeted each other, and then dispersed to continue their own affairs.

After Banbu patrolled the territory, he ran to Xiangfei Peak to check, confirmed that the development there was good, and then he felt at ease and returned to the mountain cave to rest.
