Natural God's Gift
#137 - Long Bean God-given Seed
Time flew by, and it was now late autumn. After ensuring they had enough Primal Force food for their own evolution, Siyue and Baizhi gathered Primal Force food worth 500 Primal Stones, along with another 300 Primal Stones.
They were preparing to gather goods worth 1,000 Primal Stones to trade with Hongcha, but they were still 200 Primal Stones short.
Baizhi suggested, "Siyue, didn't you have 800 Primal Stones before? Why don't you use them temporarily? After exchanging for Primal Force food from Hongcha and trading it, we can repurchase Primal Stones from the kingdom."
Siyue thought for a moment. When it evolved to the eighth instar, it had used 400 of its original 800 Primal Stones to replenish Primal Force for several divinely bestowed seeds, leaving 400 for its life seed when evolving to the ninth instar.
If it gave them to Hongcha now, it might not have enough for its own life seed later.
Siyue explained its concerns to Danggui and Baizhi.
The insects pondered deeply. Danggui came up with an idea: "This season, Hongcha's life seed should be producing Primal Force food that is almost ripe, right?"
Siyue: "Yes, I've thought about that too, so I asked it to save all the tea seeds last time.
I was planning to buy a batch during the trade."
Danggui: "Can the Primal Force food purchased from outside be sold to the kingdom's spiders?"
"It can, but it can only be sold at the same price. Buying and selling Primal Force food doesn't make any profit."
Danggui: "Then it's simple. Let's withdraw 200 Primal Stones first and gather the amount needed for Hongcha.
After the trade is completed, we can sell the tea seeds to the kingdom's spiders. At worst, we won't earn those 200 Primal Stones."
Siyue carefully considered whether this plan was feasible. Originally, they wanted to earn Primal Stones, but this way, they wouldn't earn much, and Whale Baby would have to make a trip.
However, on closer thought, although they wouldn't earn much money right now, if Hongcha's evolution level increased in the future, they could always earn Primal Stones from it.
"Then I'll withdraw 200 Primal Stones first and gather enough goods worth 1,000 Primal Stones to send to Hongcha. It has a divinely bestowed seed as its life seed, so it should need Primal Stones to replenish Primal Force.

Danggui: "When are you going?"
Siyue: "Now it's late autumn, and the Flame Spider merchants should be returning one after another. Once the merchants return,
the entire kingdom will be busy, and maybe we can earn some pocket money then.
To avoid delaying winter matters, the sooner the better. Let's go to XingSha Archipelago in the next day or two!"
"Okay, should we tell Lord Qingfeng?"
"Yes." As it said this, Siyue subconsciously touched its butt with its claw. Last time it left the kingdom without permission, it was beaten badly.
"I'll inform Lord Qingfeng."
After arranging the affairs in its territory, Siyue slowly went to find Lord Qingfeng.
In the Abyss Affairs Hall, Lord Ginkgo stood in the hall, and the Mountain Lord of the Iridescent Flame Spiders, Lantern, was also in the hall discussing matters with it.
Lord Qingfeng was summoned by Mountain Lord Baleng in a daze: "Ginkgo, Lantern, what's the matter?"
Lord Ginkgo: ! "Qingfeng, you're here? There is something."
"Lantern, it seems you've returned a bit early this year!" Lord Qingfeng approached, wanting to hear what was going on.
Mountain Lord Lantern was a large spider with iridescent colors all over its body. When Lord Qingfeng traded with Lord Longxu, he also sent Mountain Lord Huzhang to coordinate Primal Force food with it.
At this moment, its carapace was empty, with only a few spider silk bags. It must have placed the traded Primal Force food in its own territory, guarded by its subordinate spiders, while it itself went to the affairs hall to handle matters.
Mountain Lord Lantern said with a solemn mental force: "This year, I went to the Far North, where it started to freeze in September.
I traded with the beastmen who originally lived there. They said it's been getting colder and colder in recent years, and many beastmen warriors have started to migrate south.
Some insectoid tribes have also started to migrate south."
"How could this happen?" Hearing Mountain Lord Lantern say this, Lord Ginkgo and Lord Qingfeng became serious.
If the weather gradually became colder, the living space of the northern insectoids and beastmen would be compressed, and they would run south, inevitably causing disputes, or even slaughter, with the original tribes in the south.
And for them, no matter which side suffered losses, it would affect the interests of their Flame Spiders,
Lord Ginkgo said: "Now is the Primal Force recovery period, and there is still vast land on the continent waiting for insectoid warriors and beastmen warriors to explore. There shouldn't be any major problems for now."
Hearing Lord Ginkgo say this, the spiders felt slightly relieved, but Mountain Lord Lantern was still a little worried: "What if the weather gradually gets colder again?"
"Don't panic. At worst, we'll retreat back to the Flame Spider Kingdom and suspend the merchants. Surely our Flame Spider Kingdom won't become an icy and snowy place too?"
They weren't afraid of this. They were already close to the south, near the divine power barrier divided by the God of Nature.
In the extremely ancient Primal Force reincarnation period, the God of Nature divided the Primal Force Star Realm into eight blocks. They were already at the southern end of the Myriad Races Continent, close to the equator. If it became cold here, the entire Myriad Races Continent would have to become an ice field. ①
Lord Ginkgo: "Let's not talk about these things. The changes in the Natural Star Realm cannot be changed by us few lord-level,
mountain lord-level spiders. Let's talk about the main business!"
"Okay," Mountain Lord Lantern took a super-small spider silk bag from its back and handed it to Lord Ginkgo.
Lord Ginkgo took the spider silk bag, opened it, and took out a small seed inside that emitted Primal Force fluctuations.
Mountain Lord Baleng exclaimed when he saw the seed: "A divinely bestowed seed?"
Mountain Lord Lantern said somewhat proudly: "This is a divinely bestowed seed that I spent a lot of effort to negotiate a price with a wild rabbit warrior to exchange for."
Lord Ginkgo stroked the divinely bestowed seed. It was only one centimeter in size, and the entire strip was a crescent-shaped bean divinely bestowed seed. Searching the inherited memory, it should be called a long bean, or cowpea.
It belongs to the bean family, like green beans and peas, but it is a vine of the herbaceous plants. Long beans ripen once a year and have a high yield. Its effect is to strengthen the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines. This effect is neither good nor bad, just ordinary.
Lord Ginkgo stroked the long bean divinely bestowed seed and looked it over: "How did you negotiate? What price did you settle on?"
Mountain Lord Lantern's mental state perked up. It knew it was at a crucial moment. It carefully said: "Although long beans are annual vines, they have a high yield. The price I gave was also relatively high. I ordered them at a price of 120,000 per year, to be repaid in installments over 350 years."
Lord Qingfeng praised generously: "120,000 per year? 350 years, that's 42 million? Lantern, you're something!"
The Ziyun Merchant Team spent 40 million Primal Stones to negotiate for a divinely bestowed seed like a Venus flytrap. Mountain Lord Lantern spent 42 million Primal Stones to negotiate for a long bean divinely bestowed seed. This was simply a great bargain.
However, insectoids and beastmen are somewhat different. Insectoids basically don't sell divinely bestowed seeds, unless they encounter natural enemies like flower mosquitoes and Venus flytraps. Otherwise, no matter how many Primal Stones you spend, they won't sell them to you.
As for beastmen, they can't nurture divinely bestowed seeds into life seeds anyway, so exchanging them for Primal Force food can be realized more quickly.
Lantern Mountain Master smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, beast race warriors are easier to talk to than zerg warriors. Ginkgo Lord, do you think this price is worth it?"
Ginkgo Lord: "The long bean yield is quite high. After reaching the King level, it can produce primal force food worth more than 120,000 primal stones every year. The kingdom can accept this price.
The kingdom will give you goods worth 120,000 primal stones every year, and you will resell them to the beast race warriors. In addition, you will receive an interest of 12,000 primal stones every year, which belongs to you.
Also, as we said before, the kingdom will not take advantage of you by calculating the value of the God-given seed based on 500 years. After 350 years, after you finish trading with the beast race warriors, you can still receive 120,000 primal stones every year until you have received the remaining 150 years, making up 500 years."
"Really?" Lantern Mountain Master was overjoyed. He didn't expect to receive extra primal stones. This had never happened before. In this way, it could not only earn one-tenth of the interest, but also receive an additional 18 million primal stones. This was too worthwhile.
Ginkgo Lord: "But we have to make it clear that the portion that belongs to you can only be received after 350 years. If you can't receive it, you can designate future descendants to receive it."
"Okay, okay, okay," Lantern Mountain Master hurriedly nodded its chelicerae. Being able to get 18 million primal stones for nothing,
Although it might be a little late, it was already very satisfied.
Ginkgo Lord instructed: "Eight Edges, register it."
"Okay!" Eight Edges Mountain Master registered Lantern Mountain Master's detailed information into the extraterrestrial civilization creation, including when Lantern Mountain Master collected the God-given seed, the average of 132,000 primal stones that can be extracted each year, and the kingdom's payment on its behalf, etc.
This information was recorded to ensure that other spider inspectors could check the accounts, or that the next spider guarding the service hall could clearly see the account books inside.
Lantern Mountain Master saw its wealth ranking on the big screen rising rapidly, and the red debt numbers turned into green numbers. It bid farewell and left with satisfaction.
Anyway, it had already received its share. As for who Ginkgo Lord and the others wanted to give the long bean God-given seed to, it was none of its business.
Ginkgo Lord put the long bean God-given seed back into the spider silk bag, but did not give it to Eight Edges Mountain Master to store in the kingdom's treasury.
It and Maple Leaf Lord walked out of the service hall and handed the spider silk bag to Maple Leaf Lord: "Maple Leaf, give this God-given seed to Four Leaves? Have you told it about the situation?"
Maple Leaf Lord: "No, but Four Leaves is an obedient spider and very calm, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Ginkgo Lord: "Four Leaves' future achievements will definitely be higher than yours and mine. Don't spoil it in everything.
It is destined to lead the kingdom's development in the future, so it must be cultivated with an independent and autonomous personality."
Maple Leaf Lord: "I am also very careful in this regard. Four Leaves was raised by Tiger Cane and Purple Cloud, so it will be somewhat influenced by their temperaments."
Ginkgo Lord: "I am very relieved about Purple Cloud. If Four Leaves can learn seven or eight points from Purple Cloud, I will be much more relieved.
Four Leaves is three years old now, right? What instar is it in?"
Maple Leaf Lord: "Three years old, now in the eighth instar."
Ginkgo Lord: "That's just right. Keep the long bean God-given seed for it to nurture into a life seed in the ninth instar. It is truly a spider blessed by the God of Nature, able to have six God-given seeds as life seeds in the initial stage."
Maple Leaf Lord: "I also think it is blessed by the God of Nature. If it hadn't been born in our Flame Spider Kingdom, even if it had good luck, it probably wouldn't have so many God-given seeds as life seeds."
"How is the God-grade Flower? Has it not produced any fruit yet?"
Maple Leaf Lord: "No, this lucky clover God-given seed is too strange. Even King-level wild God-given seeds have said they have never heard of such an example."
"Let's wait slowly, there will always be a result."
Maple Leaf Lord: "Then I'll go find Four Leaves. I have to remind it not to be in a hurry to nurture life seeds in the ninth instar."
Maple Leaf Lord went down the mountain and found Four Leaves under the lucky clover tree, who was preparing to go to sea.
"Maple Leaf Lord," Four Leaves called out happily. It was planning to find it in the next two days, but it didn't expect Maple Leaf Lord to come on its own.
Maple Leaf Lord looked at the God-grade Flower, which was still so bright and showed no signs of bearing fruit.
It calmed its mind and signaled Four Leaves to walk out of the spiritual and mental range of the lucky clover, so as not to make it angry.
Four Leaves ran to Maple Leaf Lord's side and chirped excitedly: "Maple Leaf Lord, I was just planning to find you. I want to go to sea with Angelica again. Last time we found an instar warrior in the Star Sand Islands, who nurtured a tea tree God-given seed.
We have considered it for a long time and think that this is a very potential zerg warrior, so we decided to invest in it."
Maple Leaf Lord manipulated the spider silk thread to touch Four Leaves' little head: "If you think it's right, then do it. Whether it's good or bad, I and the kingdom will support you from behind."
Maple Leaf Lord didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong to take out its wealth to invest in an instar warrior, and didn't deliberately interfere.
The insects that are going to be leaders have all gone through various trials and tribulations. The kingdom is rich and powerful, even if it loses everything,
The kingdom can afford its evolution.
The most important thing is to cultivate its vision and pattern, to have forward-looking vision and strength, so that it will not lose its composure at the crossroads of the kingdom.
Maple Leaf Lord said: "Four Leaves, let me tell you something. I and Ginkgo Lord have discussed it.
Your lucky clover God-given seed is a god-grade, and the fruits it produces are of high value, and most of the spiders in the kingdom can't afford it.
We have come up with a plan to let traveling merchants collect God-given seeds for you, and the interest will be replaced by god-grade fruits. As for how many primal stones the god-grade fruits are worth, it will be determined after the fruits ripen in the future."
Maple Leaf Lord told Four Leaves in detail about the exchange of God-given seeds for god-grade fruits, including how many primal stones it had to repay.
After listening to Maple Leaf Lord's words, Four Leaves was a little worried: "Then will I not be able to repay it when the time comes?"
Maple Leaf Lord smiled and said: "No, we have calculated that the fruits produced by your lucky clover are enough for you to evolve to the insect king without lacking primal force food.
Besides, you also have morning glory, mangrove tree, rapeseed flower, and date palm tree. With so many God-given seeds together, you will be a very rich spider when you grow to the mountain master level."
"Okay then!" It was still young and didn't understand this very well, but anyway, Maple Leaf Lord wouldn't harm it.
Maple Leaf Lord twisted the spider silk bag with its front claws and said: "This is the long bean God-given seed. When you evolve to the ninth instar, I will give it to you to nurture into a life seed."
"Long bean?" Four Leaves searched its inheritance memory and quickly found its appearance and function. Its eight big eyes frowned in distress: "Why is it a vine God-given seed like morning glory?"
Having a morning glory God-given seed was already enough to give it a headache, did it have to have a second one?
