Natural God's Gift

#147 - Redwood, sunflower, jackfruit

Si Ye gave all the lifeforms a good talking to. It had to, it was very busy and didn't have time to argue with them every day.

If there were a few more morning glories like that, it wouldn't have to do anything every day but argue with them. After lecturing the lifeforms, there was basically nothing to do in the winter. Shellfish also basically stopped growing in the winter, not as active as in the summer, and Chong didn't have to stay at the shellfish pond all the time.

With free time, Si Ye began to tinker with the partition that Boss Xiao Ji had sold it.

It had studied this partition a little when it bought it. It was a square partition made up of more than twenty wooden boards.

Inside the partition were a full hundred spaces with a diameter of five centimeters. The partition was also five or six centimeters thick, and there was a wooden board on the bottom as a base, which could also be opened, presumably to make it easier to open and take out seedlings for planting.

It could be seen that the insect that made this wooden board had put its heart into it. The price of one original stone was not expensive.

According to Boss Xiao Ji, this was called a seedling cultivation tray. Most seeds could be cultivated here, and then planted after they germinated.

This was very suitable for cultivating seeds in winter. Their kingdom was located in a subtropical region, and the days were not too cold, but the temperature dropped sharply at night, and the temperature difference was very large, which could easily freeze the seedlings to death.

This seedling cultivation tray could be moved at will. They could move it out to bask in the sun during the day and move it back at night to defend against the cold wind.

The only drawback was that the quantity was too small, only five trays. If there were a thousand or eight hundred trays, it could directly cultivate tens of thousands of seedlings and plant them all over the thousand square kilometers of territory that Lord Qing Feng had given it.

However, this was not a shortcoming of the seedling cultivation tray, it was its own shortcoming. As long as its lifeforms had not yet produced primal force food, it would always be a poor spider.

Dang Gui and Bai Zhi were bored, so they also stayed in Si Ye's nest. Dang Gui flipped through the seedling cultivation tray, marveling at the minds of Boss Xiao Ji and the others.

"Si Ye, aren't the spaces on this seedling cultivation tray a little too small?"

Si Ye: "Not small. Most seeds can be planted, unless you want to plant coconuts or other large-seeded plants."

"How do you use this seedling cultivation tray?"

Si Ye: "Boss Xiao Ji told me to spread soil on it, then put a seed in each space, bask in the sun during the day, water it, and after it germinates and grows to a certain height, you can take it out and plant it on the ground."

Dang Gui: "What are you planning to plant?"

Si Ye was a little conflicted. Emotionally, it wanted to plant clover, but it was a rational and sensible spider. It knew that if it planted all clover, both Lord Qing Feng and Mountain Lord Hu Zhang would be very disappointed, and it would not be conducive to its future growth.

The insect warriors planted plants in the territory in order to cultivate God-given seeds one day.

Although clover also has a probability of cultivating God-given seeds, the value of its God-given seeds is far less than that of large trees.

Even if a clover God-given seed reaches the king level, how much God-given primal force food can it produce each year? Four units! Units!

How much God-given primal force food can a top-level large tree God-given seed produce each year after reaching the king level?

At least six hundred thousand, more often eight hundred thousand, or even a million is not impossible.

If you plant plants in your territory, maybe you can cultivate one God-given seed, but can you cultivate ten or eight?

Whether looking at cultivation value or primal force food production, large trees are more worthy of planting. Not every herbaceous God-given seed is a lucky clover, and it is not always so lucky.

However, to digress, there are really not many lucky spiders in the Flame Spider Kingdom. Lord Yin Fou only has a ginkgo God-given seed given by the kingdom, and Lord Qing Feng also only has a maple God-given seed, also given by the kingdom.

This was because the kingdom wanted to ensure that the God-given primal force food would not be interrupted and would not be depleted, so when they first returned to the Fang Clan continent, they exceptionally distributed large tree God-given seeds to them.

However, since the revival of primal force, in the past two hundred years, the two lords, Yin Xing and Qing Feng, have planted hundreds of square kilometers of ginkgo trees and maple trees, but have not obtained a single God-given seed.

Only Mountain Lord Ba Leng and Mountain Lord Xuan Yu are luckier. One obtained a tomato God-given seed, and the other cultivated a strawberry God-given seed. The rest of the spiders are renting God-given seeds left over from the previous primal force reincarnation period and cultivating them into lifeforms.

"I'll go ask Lord Qing Feng," Si Ye thought of planting redwoods besides clover, but Lord Qing Feng was Si Ye's elder spider, and it had to ask for its opinion on many things, and besides, it had to get the seeds from it.

"I'll go with you," Dang Gui took off. It and Si Ye were symbiotic. Since they were symbiotic insects and had received so many benefits from the Flame Spider Kingdom, they couldn't just do nothing. What kind of tree Si Ye would plant in the future, it would also have to help.

"And me, wait for me," Bai Zhi had been busy at the shellfish pond recently and had not chosen the plant species to plant.

It also wanted to go together to choose suitable tree species to manage.

It was rare for a sunny day in winter. The sun shone warmly on the body. Lord Qing Feng rarely did not work. It lay under the Qing Feng God-given seed, leisurely enjoying the winter sun.

At this time, the Qing Feng God-given seed swayed its tree body and emitted a mental thought: "Qing Feng, your juniors are here again."

Hearing the words of the Qing Feng God-given seed, Lord Qing Feng's mental thoughts spread around, and it saw Si Ye and the others running over.

It sighed helplessly, and the good mood of a beautiful day was ruined by them again.

It lazily lay on the ground, unwilling to move, quietly waiting for them to run over.

Dang Gui flew in front, and Si Ye and Bai Zhi hopped and skipped over.

"Lord Qing Feng!"

"Lord Qing Feng, we're here!"

"Lord Qing Feng, good morning!"

Lord Qing Feng was still lying on the ground, unwilling to move. It said carelessly, "What's the matter with coming to me?"

Si Ye: "Lord Qing Feng, we are about to become intermediate warriors. Can we choose tree species to manage the territory?"

Lord Qing Feng looked at the two spiders. One was already an intermediate warrior, and the other was already a ninth-age early-stage warrior. It was indeed time to start learning how to manage the territory.

"I've been busy recently and forgot about you. If you want to manage the territory, do you have any favorite plants?" The first choice of tree species should naturally be based on what the spiders like. If the spiders themselves hate it, how can they manage the territory well?

Si Ye tentatively asked: "Clover?"

Bai Zhi also wanted to plant Bai Zhi.

To the spiders' surprise, Lord Qing Feng did not immediately reject their choice, nor was it angry because they chose herbaceous plants.

Instead, it was unfathomable and deep in thought.

"Besides this, what else do you want to plant? I'm referring to large tree species."

Seeing that Lord Qing Feng was not angry, Si Ye also breathed a sigh of relief: "Redwoods or eucalyptus are fine."

The Azure Maple Lord looked at Bai Zhi: "What about you?"

Bai Zhi: "???"

When did the Azure Maple Lord become so easy to talk to?

Although she found the Azure Maple Lord's attitude a bit strange, Bai Zhi honestly spoke her mind: "I want to plant jackfruit, durian, and bananas."

The Azure Maple Lord knew their choices. Si Ye had chosen tall trees, focusing on the tree shape.

Bai Zhi had chosen plants with higher yields, focusing on output. However, without exception, the trees they mentioned were all top-tier plants. These two spiders weren't too stubborn after all.

The Azure Maple Lord said: "The tree species you've chosen are not bad, but they are not perfect enough. I have a suggestion.

I wonder if you've noticed that within our Flame Spider-managed territories, a forest area doesn't just contain one type of plant."

Si Ye said: "We know. Generally, tall trees are the main focus, and then they are paired with low-growing herbaceous plants to grow together."

The Azure Maple Lord: "Yes, Si Ye, you're right. We used to do it this way, but recently we discovered another better way to manage the territory."

The little spiders all looked puzzled.

The Azure Maple Lord continued: "If Si Ye chooses redwood trees as the main plant to manage, in the past, they would be paired with a low-growing herbaceous plant to grow together.

Recently, we proposed a new method, which is to use tall trees as the main focus, plant medium-height herbaceous plants at intervals, and then plant low-growing herbaceous plants similar to clover underneath, forming a three-in-one symbiosis."

The Azure Maple Lord explained the reason for doing this: "Our Flame Spider Kingdom doesn't lack territory, but it lacks insect claws. If the managed territory is too large, the spiders in the kingdom won't be able to manage it.

Concentrating all the plants in one area can save the warriors time from running around."

‘Similar to redwood, eucalyptus, jackfruit, and durian trees, these are all tall trees that can grow to be tens or twenties of meters tall, or even fifty or sixty meters. And these trees need to be spaced far apart, so herbaceous plants can be planted in the gaps between the trees."

"For example, if Bai Zhi plants jackfruit, then more Bai Zhi can be planted in the gaps between the jackfruit trees.

Underneath Bai Zhi, you can plant some leguminous herbaceous plants such as clover, which can also stabilize nitrogen fertilizer."

Si Ye and Bai Zhi felt that what the Azure Maple Lord said made a lot of sense.

Si Ye asked: "Azure Maple Lord, do you agree that I can plant redwood trees?"

The Azure Maple Lord: "No one in the kingdom is currently planting redwood trees on a large scale, so you can plant redwood trees for now. Redwood trees are among the best tall trees in the world, and their growth height can reach fifty or sixty meters.

The effect of redwood seeds is to strengthen water-based lung respiration. Regardless of yield, value, or quality, they are very good and can be considered top-tier plants. You can nurture one as your life-bound plant.

In addition to that, I have another top-tier plant to recommend that you plant."

"What is it?"

The Azure Maple Lord: "What do you think about sunflowers? Although they are herbaceous plants, the value of the sunflower seeds produced each year is also very high. If you nurture a God-given Seed, it can definitely be classified as a top-tier God-given Seed!

Most importantly, the height of its mature plant is only about two meters, which will not affect the growth of the redwood at all.

Redwoods also need ten years or so to initially grow up and then flower and bear fruit. During this period, you can harvest sunflower seeds, so it's not like you won't have any harvest."

Si Ye strongly agreed with what the Azure Maple Lord said. Being able to plant the plants she liked while also planting two other top-tier plants, she had no reason to refuse.

Si Ye: "Then Azure Maple Lord, I'll plant redwood and sunflowers?"

As soon as Si Ye finished speaking, Bai Zhi couldn't wait to ask: "Azure Maple Lord, what about me? Can I plant jackfruit and Bai Zhi?"

The Azure Maple Lord nodded its chelicerae: "You can!"

The two little spiders excitedly raised their forelegs and rubbed them together: "Azure Maple Lord, what about the seeds?"

The Azure Maple Lord: "I have seeds. I'll get you each a bag."

The Azure Maple Lord returned to its nest to retrieve the seeds. It also had an extraterrestrial civilization creation, which it usually used to store various seeds and origin power food. It was like its own little warehouse.

After all, it was also the lord of a tribe, raising a large group of little warriors, and all kinds of resources had to be stored.

If a little warrior wanted something, it could directly take it out, otherwise, it wouldn't be good to run to the Abyss Treasure Vault every two or three days, right?

The Azure Maple Lord entered the nest and rummaged around for a while. After a while, it took out three spider silk bags filled with seeds.

The spider silk bags contained redwood seeds, sunflower seeds, and jackfruit seeds respectively. The Azure Maple Lord handed the spider silk bags to Si Ye and Bai Zhi, and solemnly reminded them, "These are all top-quality seeds that have been carefully cultivated through countless years of effort by the kingdom, and are several times better than wild seeds from the outside world.

These seeds are strictly controlled by the kingdom. Even if one seed is missing, it will be carefully investigated.

You must be careful when sowing them and don't leave them outside. Whether they are nurtured into life-bound plants or grow into seedlings, even seeds that have not germinated must be registered."

"Understood," Si Ye and Bai Zhi couldn't help but take it seriously, not expecting the kingdom to control seeds so strictly.

The Azure Maple Lord handed a spider silk bag to Si Ye: "Here are a hundred redwood seeds for you. After you sow these in your claws and they germinate, come back to me to get more."

"And also five hundred sunflower seeds."

It handed another spider silk bag to Bai Zhi: "Here are also a hundred jackfruit seeds for you. Like Si Ye, after you sow all the seeds in your claws and they germinate, come back to me to get more."

Its little warehouse only contained high-quality plant seeds, double-excellent plant seeds, and top-tier plant seeds. Bai Zhi, clover, and other low-quality plant seeds were not available, so they had to collect them themselves.

The Azure Maple Lord repeatedly instructed: "After the seeds are sown, be careful of birds and other creatures that might steal the seeds."

"Understood," Si Ye and Bai Zhi replied: "Hasn't the kingdom always been hunting birds? There aren't many birds coming here now. I don't believe we'll be so unlucky."

"It's always good to be careful."

Having obtained the seeds as they wished, the two spiders happily bid farewell to the Azure Maple Lord: "Azure Maple Lord, shall we go back now?"

"Go then!"

"Let's go back!" Dang Gui took the lead in spreading its cicada wings and taking flight, with Si Ye and Bai Zhi chasing hard behind.
