Astral Cockroach

Selling the remains of the Red Pine God-Given Seed was a test, and the result was terrible.

Therefore, when selling the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus seeds, each portion must be handled with care.

The trade caravan stayed at Li Bamboo Peak for one night.

Banbu inquired with Yuzhu and Chonglou about the locations of wealthy tribes they currently interacted with, and carefully discussed sales details and plans.

The next morning, the trade caravan departed.

… …

The flowering period of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed will last for a year, a very crucial year.

Every day, Banbu spends most of his time guarding the bamboo forest, occasionally going to the lake to communicate with the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus, building relationships. Li Bamboo Peak's fortune depends entirely on it.

Duzhu basically no longer participates in the peak's labor, focusing on eating, drinking, and conditioning herself. She will be the second County Lord of Li Bamboo Peak after Banbu.

Late at night.

Guanli suddenly rushed to the bamboo forest.

"Banbu… …" Guanli's mood was not good.

Banbu's heart tightened.

"What's wrong? Xueli… … Is she okay?"

At Guanli Peak, Xueli is in the process of advancing to L2 Mountain Lord. Because this guy is too stupid, she wasn't given all sorts of good things. Could it be that she had bad luck and her evolution failed?

"She's fine… … Very good." Guanli said, "Banbu, Xueli obtained a God-Given Seed. She only told me after she advanced to the two-year Mountain Lord stage."

"God-Given Seed… …" Banbu was stunned upon hearing this, then reacted and asked, "What kind of plant? Where did it come from?"

"It's a raspberry, just planted." Guanli was a little frustrated, shaking her antennae, and said, "I don't know where it came from… … I don't feel good asking."

With Li Bamboo Peak's development to this day, there is the Sacred Bamboo God-Given Seed with an extremely high life-extending value, as well as three Divine-grade God-Given Seeds. Ordinary herbaceous or shrub God-Given Seeds are no longer in Banbu's eyes.

A raspberry God-Given Seed is nothing at all.

Guanli's vision is also not low.

Banbu could sense that Guanli was sad because Xueli didn't tell her about discovering the God-Given Seed right away.

Usually, Xueli acts dull and silly, and Guanli takes good care of her.

Banbu asked, "Baba is in Xueli's territory, right? Is she currently guiding her to plant and water the God-Given Seed?"

Guanli said, "Yes."

"Baba found the God-Given Seed." Banbu was 100% certain of this.

For the past few winters, Xueli has been working, with no chance to enter the forest to search. On the contrary, Baba disappears as soon as there's electricity.

Most importantly, Xueli has always been in charge of the sluice gates of the two hydroelectric power stations. Banbu has repeatedly told her not to open the gates and release water without the orders of Hongdao or Guanli.

Banbu comforted, "Guanli, don't look like that. Xueli is stupid as hell and doesn't have that many thoughts. It's all Baba's trickery. She's bribing Xueli so she can blindly order Xueli to release water for her."

Guanli is smart, and after a moment's thought, she understood and felt better. Then she said, "Banbu, Baba doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Baba doesn't like me very much either." Banbu thought for a moment and said, "The thinking of electronic life forms is mostly abnormal. They have strong logical thinking, but their minds cannot grow and mature with experience, and they will always have the childish temperament of a small soldier."

"Baba likes to communicate with the Dragon and the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus Tree Spirit, showing off the knowledge she has mastered. She likes to communicate with stupid warriors like Baizhu and Xueli, teasing them. She can't get any advantage in front of you, me, and Mouse King, who are intelligent, normal, mature, and steady, so she doesn't like to communicate with us."

"Is that so… …" Guanli was dubious.

"Yes." Banbu replied affirmatively.

The Dragon Tree Spirit said faintly, "No wonder Baba hasn't come to me in the past two years."

Banbu flapped his wings and said, "Xueli successfully advanced and even conceived a God-Given Seed. This is good news. Go and inform the other members of the mountain range."

… …

After seeing Guanli off.

Banbu's mood was not very good, and he fell silent.

The Dragon Tree Spirit said, "Banbu, you are too doting on Guanli. Baba is wary of you."

"Am I that kind of insect?" Banbu said angrily, "Naive electronic life!"

The Dragon Tree Spirit said, "Banbu, you should find a God-Given Seed for Guanli as soon as possible."

"In recent years, Li Bamboo Peak has had too many affairs, and treasure hunting on the Dragon Bamboo Continent is even more urgent. I can't spare any energy to search in the wild."

Banbu said with a headache, "Cultivating bamboo-type God-Given Seeds requires new aberrant species, which is extremely low probability and almost entirely depends on luck."

Banbu also said, "The entire Jinping Mountain Range, not only Guanli, but also Huozhu, Xiangfei, Bitao, Camellia, Guijiajin Vine, Zongli, Shengyin… … they all need a God-Given Seed."

The Dragon Tree Spirit said leisurely, "They will slowly miss the opportunity to conceive God-Given Seeds… …"

Starting from the Mountain Lord level, each molting evolution takes at least three years. Continuing to improve, the cycle lengthens, making it difficult to happen to encounter a God-Given Seed during molting evolution.

At the County Lord level, Banbu needed about 10 years for each molting evolution from L1 to L3, and it will definitely exceed 10 years in the future, with almost no hope of conceiving a God-Given Seed again. Other warriors certainly have even less hope.

If there is no God-Given Seed and they are completely funded by Banbu to advance to County Lord, they will be the lowest-ranking among the County Lords. This situation is relatively common in other counties. For example, the Big Leaf County Lord and Small Leaf County Lord of Chijian County are funded by the Chijian Roach King to advance to County Lord, and they usually run errands and assist the Chijian Roach King in handling various affairs.

If there is no God-Given Seed and they are completely funded by Banbu to advance to Roach King, that would be unreasonable and a waste of resources. Even Chiwu Mountain would not do that.

The cost of growing a County Lord is too high. A medium-level growth model costs an average of 200,000 Origin Stones per year, lasting for more than 200 years, which consumes 40 million Origin Stones. This growth model easily misses the prime of youth and has a high probability of failure.

Without a God-Given Seed, the territory's income would be completely unable to support the County Lord's growth. Spending a huge price to advance to Roach King would mean that the territory's life seed output would basically only be enough for self-consumption, with no additional benefits to repay the tribe.

From the insect's point of view, without a God-Given Seed, they are completely unqualified to advance to the King level.

Strictly speaking, currently, in the entire Jinping Mountain Range, only Banbu, Duzhu, and Xiangpu are qualified to advance to Roach King.

Datou plays a huge role in the territory's operation and can barely be considered qualified to advance to the King level.

Further down, Hongdao and Qinggang barely qualify.

Hongdao cultivates rice and has cultivated a total of 3 God-Given Seeds, one for himself and two for Hongmi, plus the Deepwater Barnyardgrass found in the wild earlier. Hongdao himself also has two God-Given Seeds. The key is the talent he has shown, and he will definitely be able to cultivate more rice-type God-Given Seeds in the future.

Qinggang's Davidia involucrata God-Given Seed is a tree species with good innate genes. With the addition of the World Tree remains and Oak remains for fertilization and strengthening, after advancing to County Lord, it steadily reached the top-grade quality. Strengthening the water element ability does not match the Red Roach tribe's talent ability, and the selling price is not high. It is mediocre, and slightly worse than the Red Jian tree God-Given Seed of the Red Jian Roach King, so it is very reluctant.

Banbu does have the ambition to help everyone advance to Roach King together, but first, he doesn't have enough financial resources, and secondly, the other mountains of the Red Roach tribe, and even the other members of the Jinping Mountain Range in the future, may not agree.

Especially the Red Jian Roach King. If it knew that Banbu planned to take out a massive amount of Origin Stones to help all the members of the mountain advance to Roach King, it would definitely be the first to jump out and rebel.

In the eyes of other tribes, it is also a joke to advance to the King level without a God-Given Seed, wasting resources, messing around, and acting recklessly. Anyone with a little bit of wisdom knows that selecting and cultivating juniors should not be based solely on likes and dislikes, but first on whether they have high-quality God-Given Seeds.

After prosperity comes the period of decline when stars dim. Many small tribes similar to the Red Roach and Black and White Flower Roach silently head towards destruction during that period.

If there are surplus Origin Stones, they should be hoarded for the day they are needed.

God-Given Seeds should not all be cultivated into life seeds, and some should be selectively retained for direct cultivation, which is the lifeline of the race's continuation.

Banbu has always been thinking about the future growth of the other members of Li Bamboo Peak, and it always gives him a headache.

"Forget it, let's find a way to get Guanli one first… …" Banbu said distressedly.

The Dragon Bamboo Tree Spirit has always been clear about Banbu's thoughts and suggested, "Guanli and the others are still very young, and Li Bamboo Peak has Sacred Bamboo Bamboo Fruit to extend their lives. They can slow down their growth rate to the lowest level first. After surviving the busiest decades of Li Bamboo Peak's expansion, there will be opportunities in the future."

"I know." Banbu said, "I've already told them."

In fact, Banbu's biggest headache is Daxiong, Youcha, Mouse King, and Baizhu.

Beast warriors don't even have ordinary life seeds.
