Astral Cockroach

Experiments determined that Glutinous Bamboo can be hybridized with four bamboo species: Square Bamboo, Squareleaf Bamboo, Goldenleaf Bamboo, and Green Stone Bamboo, which means that four God-given Seeds can be obtained.

It took two years to successfully cultivate them.

Banbu made the decision to allocate them to Yun Bamboo, Jian Bamboo, Qing Bamboo, and Kong Bamboo to nurture them into Natal Seeds.

Qing Bamboo has always held the important position of "Kindergarten Director."

Kong Bamboo settled in the barren bamboo forest, specializing in guarding the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed.

The fact that the two of them obtained God-given Seeds can be regarded as a reward and compensation.

Yun Bamboo and Jian Bamboo, the two little fellows, cannot obtain God-given Seeds just because they were lucky enough to become Mountain Lords early on. When the next batch of Dragon Bamboo fruit matures, they will eat one, then go to the Red Rock Continent and live in the canyon for ten years, and then go to Dragon Bamboo Continent and Crown Pear Continent to hunt for treasure.

In the same year, on Jiangqing Peak, the Suet Grape was finally cultivated.

The grape seeds are small, and primary-level warriors can choose to nurture Natal Seeds. In three to four years, they will be able to eat sweet and fragrant Suet Grapes.

Since then, the small warriors of Lizhu County have had seven major species and more than a dozen high-quality varieties to choose from for ordinary Natal Seeds: Holy Bamboo, Dragon Bamboo, Crown Pear, Kuri Chestnut, Cherry, Oak, and Grape. Encompassing herbs, vines, and trees, the rich selection ensures that Origin Power food is produced every year from summer to late autumn.

Even without God-given Seeds or funding from Lizhu Peak, the small warriors can still live a prosperous life.

During the advanced warrior period, an annual subsidy of 2,000 Origin Stones is issued, giving them hope of being promoted to Mountain Lord.

… …

Lizhu County sells an average of 13 million Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food each year.

Similarly, due to the increasing number of County Lord-level warriors on Lizhu Peak, more than 8 million Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food needs to be purchased each year.

The four trading teams, Chonglou, Yuzhu, Xianghun, and Zijing, which initially traded with Lizhu Peak, accounted for more than 5 million of the trade volume.

While huge trade brings generous profits, it also means that a large amount of goods needs to be transported, and the scale of the four trading teams is expanding day by day. In particular, the merged Chonglou and Yuzhu trading teams have more than 50 warriors, including 5 County Lord-level warriors, including Chonglou, Yuzhu, and Xuemai.

Trading teams travel the continent, different teams take different routes, trading with different counties and regions of different kingdoms. The variety of Origin Power food is limited.

Considering that the four trading teams may not be able to meet the growth needs after he is promoted to Roach King in the future, Banbu discussed with the Thunder Bamboo Ghost King and specially invited four large trading teams with fixed trade relations with Chiwu Mountain to trade at Lizhu Peak.

In addition, the way of funding small warriors has also changed.

In the past, Baba would check the body of each warrior and customize a growth package according to the situation.

Now there are more warriors in the mountains, and it is impossible to take care of everyone carefully.

It has been changed to another more natural way.

For example, advanced warriors directly receive 1,000 to 3,000 Origin Stones per year as a subsidy. The Origin Stones are distributed, either for their own Natal Seed plants, or to purchase high-quality Origin Power food from trading teams during the trade season. They can make their own decisions and arrange freely.

The Origin Power food produced in the small warriors' territories can also be arranged by themselves. Some are kept for their own consumption, and some are sold to the outside world. Dragon Bamboo and Holy Bamboo, and Acorns are all unique and popular specialties of Lizhu County.

Every winter, warriors enter the wild jungle to find naturally born God-given Seeds, and there are many lucky warriors among them. These God-given Seeds are nurtured by the small warriors themselves into Natal Seeds, and Lizhu Peak will not interfere with the Origin Power food produced, and it will also be arranged for sale by the corresponding warriors themselves.

This is a common practice in other wealthy counties and regions of the continent, and practice has proved its feasibility and superiority.

Give the small warriors space to use their brains to handle affairs and cultivate their autonomy.

The open "free trade" can also attract a group of small and medium-sized trading teams, as well as warriors from nearby other kingdoms, to come to Lizhu Peak for trade at a fixed time each year, enriching the variety of Origin Power food.

The development of Lizhu County can now be regarded as officially entering the ranks of wealthy counties, and it will only become more prosperous in the future.

… …

Banbu, Year 107.

Banbu took the Zhenguo Yellow Peach and Turtle Shell Dragon Vine and went to the Red Rock Continent on time to replace Hui Tao and Dong Zhu for a 5-year term.

This job is very heavy.

Chiwu Mountain has already used trains to transport various metal materials over.

Banbu and the Rat King spent a year building the trestle road connecting the northern and southern hemispheres.

A large number of warriors were mobilized to excavate docks and berthing ports.

Cooperate with the Ghost King of Chiwu Mountain who has awakened metal abilities to re-manufacture thousand-ton cargo ships.

It took five years to transport the root wreckage of Iron Gall Kuri Chestnut back to Lizhu Peak.

Thousand-ton cargo ships cannot run well at sea, their carrying capacity is not good, and they cannot withstand strong winds and waves. They must have Banbu escorting them to dare to sail.

When Banbu is promoted to Roach King in the future, he will re-plan and build a stable enough ten-thousand-ton giant ship.

… …

The warriors who used Dragon Bamboo fruit in the early days of Xiangfei are about to reach the level of County Lord and have returned to the mountains to settle down one after another.

The younger generation of warriors continue to search for God-given Seed remains and various plant species on Dragon Bamboo Continent and Crown Pear Continent, and they are responsible for Zhenguo Yellow Peach and Turtle Shell Dragon Vine.

Among the bamboo rat warriors, the youngest Xiaobaizhu finally returned to Lizhu Peak and is also preparing to be promoted to County Lord.

There are more and more County Lord-level warriors, and Lizhu Peak's annual income can only support a limited number of warriors to continue to grow.

Who will continue to grow, who will stop here, is a problem that must be dealt with.

Discuss in two batches, according to insect warriors and beast warriors.

Insect warriors.

Banbu, Duzhu, and Huozhu will definitely be promoted to Roach King.

Banbu now spends 1 million to 1.5 million Origin Stones every year, and Duzhu and Huozhu spend 1 million Origin Stones every year.

Hongdao, Guanli, Qinggang, Zongli, and Bitao also need to be promoted to Roach King, and Xiangpu and Datou also need to be promoted to King level. Their annual expenses are set at 300,000 to 500,000.

Other Red Roach tribe warriors who have God-given Seeds spend 100,000 to 200,000 Origin Stones every year, without giving up, but not investing too much for the time being.

Beast warriors. They have all made great efforts in the development of Lizhu Peak, and their role has even exceeded that of the first batch of Red Roach tribe warriors. It is impossible to say that Lizhu County has now developed to a scale and they will be abandoned.

Banbu summoned the seven bamboo rat warriors led by Dazhong, Youcha, Shuocao, Baizhu, Xiaobaizhu, and Rat King to the Mountain Trading Plaza for discussion.

Hongdao and Datou also participated.

Hongdao took the lead and said: "Our Lizhu County has limited annual income, and after everyone is promoted to County Lord, it costs too much to continue to grow..."

Datou said: "There are not enough Origin Stones, so not everyone can continue to grow. In the beginning, the Cliff Cypress God-given Seed was found by Dazhong, which strengthened the nerve arc reflection speed, thereby strengthening the speed. It is of high value, and now it is about to complete the second transformation and growth, and will generate more than 200,000 Origin Stones in income every year, and the income will continue to grow."

Banbu said: "For the time being, Dazhong, you have awakened the two elemental abilities of metal and earth and stone, and you spend 300,000 Origin Stones every year, and you should be able to be promoted to Beast King in the future."

"Okay." Dazhong touched his head, grinned, and said, "No change."

Datou said: "Dazhong and Youcha have not changed."

Banbu continued: "The Camellia Seed God-given Seed was found by Youcha, and Youcha also spends 300,000 Origin Stones every year to grow."

Youcha waved his tail to show that he understood.

Baizhu raised his paw and said: "Banbu, the Cattail God-given Seed was found by me. Also, the Colorful Bitter Bamboo was also found by me."

Banbu said: "I know, so you have 400,000 Origin Stones every year."

Shuocao said happily: "The Water Beech God-given Seed was found by me."

Banbu said: "Shuocao, you have 200,000 Origin Stones every year."

"Oh." Shuocao looked a little disappointed.

200,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food is not a small amount, but it is not a large amount either. From L1 to L3 County Lord, you can maintain relatively rapid growth. From L4 to L6, it will definitely be slower. For L7 to L9 growth, 200,000 is not enough.

Banbu added: "Shuocao, I will give you a raise when you are promoted to L7 County Lord in the future."

"Understood." Shuocao calmed down and waved his tail like Youcha.

Baizhu asked nervously: "Banbu, what about Xiaobaizhu?"

Rat King also asked: "Banbu, what about Mazhu and the others?"

Banbu said: "Rat King, you have the best talent. You also have 400,000 Origin Stones every year. Strive to be promoted to Beast King as soon as possible."

"Mazhu, Shuizhu, Hongzhu, Zizhu, Jinzhu, and Xiaobaizhu, you six do not give up the possibility of growth, and you have 100,000 Origin Stones every year."

"County Lord-level warriors have a lifespan of 500 years. With the Holy Bamboo fruit extending life, you are still nearly 300 years away from old age. If Lizhu Peak makes a fortune in the next one or two hundred years, I will give you a raise. As for now, I am powerless."

Baizhu opened his mouth halfway and cautiously said: "Banbu, that, the underground dojo, can't it still dig up a lot of good things?"

Banbu nodded his antennae and said: "That's right, there should still be a windfall there. County Lords spend 50 million to 80 million to be promoted to Roach King, depending on their talent gap. Optimistically, Mazhu, Xiaobaizhu, and your growth costs an average of 60 million per person, which also requires 360 million."

"There are other Red Roach warriors in the mountains? Xiangfei, Danzhu, Shengyin, and Guijiajin Teng all need to grow. I can't favor one over the other, right?"

"If digging the underground dojo can generate 500 million Origin Stone income, you can continue to grow. Otherwise... it depends on the situation."
