Natural God's Gift
#216 - Will be ripe
Although they said they were going back, they didn't immediately leave. Before that, they still needed to visit the island where Azimuth was located.
Four-Leaf Clover wanted to check on its recent situation and when it would be able to evolve its age. When the time came, it would prepare the plant seeds for it to nurture into a life seed.
The island where Azimuth was located was called Azimuth Island by it. This was after Azimuth heard Four-Leaf Clover say that Red Tea had named its island Red Tea Island, and it followed suit.

After the previous understanding and Four-Leaf Clover providing it with two thousand original stones worth of original power food, Azimuth's wariness towards Four-Leaf Clover and the others greatly decreased. From initially not allowing them to land on the island, to now allowing them to visit the life seeds after they landed on the island again.
Four-Leaf Clover was not polite and directly went to the island to check its life seed types and conditions. As expected, the quality of the nine life seeds planted by Azimuth was similar to those of Red Tea.
At least Red Tea had a God-given seed, but Azimuth didn't even have a God-given seed.
This can't really be blamed on it. The types of tree seeds on the island were already scarce, and it didn't have elders to teach it how to nurture better life seeds, so this situation was not unexpected.
Azimuth's situation was both beneficial and disadvantageous for the Flame Spider Merchant.
The disadvantage was naturally that it couldn't earn many original stones from this poor insect warrior, and might even have to subsidize it a bit.
The advantage, however, was that Azimuth had no other way out besides the Flame Spider Merchant. Four-Leaf Clover and the others could give it many life seeds that they didn't want to nurture.
Like Red Tea, even if they gave it a top-grade plant seed, they would have to patiently explain the benefits of the top-grade plant seed, fearing that the other party would not choose the plant seed they provided.
But for poor insect warriors like Azimuth, who had no tribe and no opportunity to obtain other resources, as long as they took the first bite of bait, there was no way they could refuse the follow-up.
This could be considered a win-win situation. Four-Leaf Clover and the others were equivalent to raising a symbiotic insect that didn't require the kingdom to fund its cultivation, and Azimuth also obtained the evolutionary resources it needed.
On Azimuth's island, Four-Leaf Clover appropriately helped it catch sea fish, taught it to collect fish bones and bird droppings for fermented fertilizer to increase the nutrition of the life seeds. After it was familiar with the steps, and after agreeing to send it life seeds after October, they left.
Since they had come to Azimuth Island, they also went to Red Tea Island to estimate the date of production of the God-given tea seeds.
Ordinary tea seeds would mature around November. God-given tea seeds mature every two years, and it was unknown whether the maturity season would change. They would try to make a trip after the beginning of autumn.
On Red Tea Island, Four-Leaf Clover and the others inspected the island and prepared to leave. Red Tea shyly took out the Spider King Letter Scroll and then called out to Four-Leaf Clover: "Four-Leaf Clover Boss."
"Hmm?" Seeing Red Tea take out the Spider King Letter Scroll, Four-Leaf Clover was a little strange, thinking it was going to return the Spider King Letter Scroll to it.
Red Tea said: "Four-Leaf Clover Boss, how many original stones do you think my God-given tea seeds can sell for this year?"
Four-Leaf Clover pondered for a moment: "This mainly depends on the management methods of the insect warrior. If the management is good, the quality of the God-given original power food produced by the God-given life seed will be better, and the value will be higher."
"For a normal insect warrior, the value of the God-given original power food can generally double after evolving into a major realm."
"Is that so?" Red Tea was thoughtful.
"Then wouldn't one of my God-given tea seeds be able to sell for 26 original stones?"
Four-Leaf Clover explained: "This is also uncertain, and it may be lower, but it is definitely higher than the value in the intermediate warrior stage."
That's good. Red Tea was waiting for Four-Leaf Clover to say this.
"Four-Leaf Clover Boss, then my original power food production this year will be able to exceed 20,000 original stones. I owe you 13,200 original stones, right?"
Since Red Tea had said so, how could Four-Leaf Clover and the others not guess its thoughts?
"Do you want to buy some more original power food?"
"Yes," Red Tea was also very frank. It pointed to the Spider King Letter Scroll with one of its claws and said: "Can I buy some of the God-given original power food recorded on the Spider King Letter Scroll?"
"Of course," Four-Leaf Clover was overjoyed. Why wouldn't it do business if there was business to be done?
After leaving the kingdom for more than three months, they returned to the Flame Spider Kingdom again. They left quietly, and they didn't return with great fanfare.
These high-level Flame Spiders were still in the ranks of junior spiders, and they could only put on the airs of elders in front of the junior Flame Spider warriors. They couldn't put on a big show even if they wanted to.
When Yun Shi carried them to the Flame Spider Kingdom, it was already late at night. Their return did not alarm any insects.
After saying goodbye to Yun Shi, they returned to their respective initial territories, preparing to check their life seeds first.
The three insects separated, and Four-Leaf Clover made a turn and came to the location of the seaside mangrove.
"Mangrove," Four-Leaf Clover ran to the gourd beach and called out to the God-given seed of the mangrove tree.
In the deep autumn night, the moon and stars were sparse. Only some small crabs and mudskippers were active on the mudflat. After hearing a little movement caused by Four-Leaf Clover, they quickly fled to the nest chamber below the mud.
"Four-Leaf Clover? You're back?" The mangrove tree was a tree. It performed photosynthesis during the day, absorbing natural original power, and would fall into 'sleep' at night.
Feeling the mental call of Four-Leaf Clover, it slowly woke up.
"Yes, I've been away from the kingdom for more than three months. Did you miss me?"
The mangrove tree ignored it. Four-Leaf Clover didn't come to the seaside often. For the God-given mangrove tree,
as long as the nutrition and original power could be supplied, it didn't matter whether Four-Leaf Clover was there or not.
By the moonlight, Four-Leaf Clover checked the fruits on the mangrove tree. The mangrove fruits on the tree were growing quite plump.
Because it matures every two years, it was still a bit greenish.
"Mangrove, the fruits are growing very well."
The mangrove tree knew what Four-Leaf Clover was thinking and said faintly with its mental thoughts: "There were a few small typhoons this year, and some of the fruits on the tree were blown off."
"Ah?" Four-Leaf Clover was originally quite happy, but when it heard the mangrove tree say this, it immediately became depressed. This was the bad thing about being by the sea. A slight typhoon or tsunami would affect the production of life seeds.
"How much was lost?"
The mangrove tree said indifferently: "I don't know, dozens of them."
Four-Leaf Clover was a little dissatisfied: "How can you not care about your production? If your production decreases, where will I get the original stones to replenish your original power and buy fertile soil? How can I let you grow quickly?"
The mangrove tree thought for a while and felt that what Four-Leaf Clover said made sense: "Then after my mangrove fruits are produced, shouldn't you buy me some fertile soil?"
"Keep an eye on your fruits, and I will prepare them for you when the time comes."
Four-Leaf Clover stood under the tree and counted three times, and finally determined that 46 mangrove fruits on the tree had been blown away by the typhoon.
This made it feel distressed. How many original stones did it earn in one trip? This typhoon had lost so much.
Although even if it stayed here, it still couldn't change anything, it didn't prevent it from feeling heartache.
“I really want to move the mangrove tree to Twin Peaks.” Clover muttered, but it also knew this was impossible. Ordinary mangrove trees live by the sea and have adapted to the environmental changes there.
God-given mangrove trees evolved from ordinary mangrove trees and are superior in every way, but precisely because of this, their ability to withstand the coastal environment is even stronger. Entering the inland areas, they might be even less adapted.
Clover asked, “Are there any losses among the other lifeforms?”
The mangrove tree said lazily, “Don’t know.”
It didn't even care how many of its own fruits were missing, so why would it care about other trees?
“You家伙.” Clover muttered, this thing knows nothing!
After seeing that the mangrove tree's condition was still good, Clover went to check on the other lifeforms.
Passing by the god-given mangrove tree closest to the sea was the god-given eggplant lifeform. It had not yet produced primal force food, and the plant was relatively short. It was still in the forest and had not been greatly affected by the typhoon.
Further on were the god-given date palm tree, the god-given long bean, and the like, all planted in the forest, so the impact on them was relatively small.
Checking along the way, the god-given rapeseed flower and the god-given morning glory were all safe and sound, which greatly reassured it.
Artemisia wasn't eating primal force food for nothing. Except for the god-given mangrove tree, which grew on the beach and was impossible to protect, it protected the other lifeforms very well.
“Lucky, I’m back!”
In the middle of the night, Lucky Clover was also asleep. It was suddenly awakened by Clover's mental intent and wasn't in a good mood.
Lucky Clover's mental intent swept around and said unhappily, “Back is back, what's with the middle of the night?”
Clover came and went mysteriously all year round. Not only the mangrove tree, but also the other god-given species were used to not seeing a trace of it all year round.
Lucky Clover was a little puzzled and said, “Didn’t you say you’d be back later?”
Clover said with a smile, “I was a little worried about home and concerned about your growth, so I came back early to take a look.”
Lucky Clover scoffed, “Are you really worried about us? Aren't you just worried about the primal force fruits on our trees?”
Clover said awkwardly, “That's not true, I'm still very worried about you. Besides, aren't the fruits on your trees related to you too?”
Then it said righteously, “You're always asking for top-grade fertile soil, primal stones, and dragon scale soil.
If primal force fruits aren't produced, where am I going to get the money to buy these things?”
The top-grade fertile soil made by the Purple Cloud Mountain Master the year before last had its last bag used on Lucky Clover, which made it demand these things more frequently. Now, even Clover didn't dare to stay under the Lucky Clover tree for too long, lest it be nagged by its mental intent.
Lucky Clover didn't worry about it at all and said domineeringly, “Half a square of dragon scale soil has already been completely absorbed by me. Have you found me new dragon scale soil yet?
That bag of fertile soil containing soul primal energy is almost completely absorbed by me too, hurry up and replace it.”
“Ahem,” dragon scale soil was rare throughout the astral realm. Whether there was a second portion was a problem, it couldn't produce it.
As for the fertile soil mixed with soul-type primal force food, one bag cost two thousand primal stones, and it couldn't afford the Spider King's letter scroll in its silk bag to order ten bags from the Purple Cloud Mountain Master.
It looked at Lucky Clover's canopy. The fruits on the canopy were gradually turning dark red. It imperceptibly changed the subject, “Lucky, when do you think the fruits on the tree will be ripe?”
Lucky Clover was indeed distracted. It carefully sensed the state of the fruits on the tree and said faintly, “My tree feels that this fruit is still constantly absorbing my primal force primal energy.
If you are willing to give me more primal stones to use, it should be able to mature within a month or two.
If you don't give primal stones and let it grow slowly on its own, it will probably take another year and a half!”
“Really?” Clover was a little skeptical. How could the time be so different? Could Lucky Clover be trying to trick it out of primal stones?
Hearing Clover doubting itself, Lucky Clover immediately became angry, “Are you doubting me? Believe it or not.”
Seeing Lucky Clover getting angry, Clover hurriedly explained, “No, no, how could I doubt you? Isn't it just that I'm worried you're bearing fruit for the first time and lack experience.”
“I heard that god-tier fruits need a long time to absorb and transform natural primal force and primal energy during the ripening period. I'm afraid you're growing too fast, which will affect future growth and the quality of the fruit.”
Hearing Clover say this, Lucky Clover's mental intent eased a little, “It's okay, I have the Life Godstone providing life primal energy, which can quickly transform primal force primal energy to supply to the fruits on the tree.”
“That's good,” it sounded like Lucky Clover wasn't just talking nonsense. Clover also breathed a sigh of relief. It had to report some things to Lord Silvermane so they would know the state and ripening time of the god-tier Lucky Fruit, as well as the various resources it needed.
“How many primal stones are needed?”
Lucky Clover thought for a moment and estimated a number, “It feels like the ordinary kind of primal stones will need about one hundred thousand.”
“So many?” This number startled Clover. It could accept it if a king-level god-given species needed so many primal stones to replenish primal force during fruiting.
But the Lucky Clover god-given species only had one fruit on the tree, and it still needed one hundred thousand primal stones to replenish primal force. This really scared it.
At this moment, Clover's heart stirred, “Lucky, do you know what your fruit's ability is now?”
Lucky Clover was a little confused, “I don't really understand what your abilities are like. I've only seen Lord Green Maple use his ability in front of me, it feels like it's similar to his.”
“Similar to Lord Green Maple's ability?” Clover muttered in its heart. Lord Green Maple had used a wood-type ability on Lucky Clover once when the typhoon came.
Hearing Lucky Clover say this, it was estimated that the god-tier Lucky Fruit should grant a wood-type ability, which was not beneficial for their original Flame Spider warriors.
It was just that the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild and the lords of the Five Tribes of Flame Spiders were probably going to be disappointed. Wood-type abilities were useless to them.
However, it couldn't control the ability of the god-tier fruit and was powerless to do anything about it.
It also didn't know if the lords in the kingdom would still be so diligent in collecting god-given species for it after knowing it was a wood-type ability?
Fortunately, it didn't have high demands for that. It had so many god-given species, the resources had already far overflowed. Next, it had to consider how to perfectly evolve at each age stage.
“It's getting late, you rest. In a few days, I'll talk to Lord Silvermane and see if he can provide you with some primal stones.” One hundred thousand primal stones was a lot, whether Lord Silvermane was willing to part with those primal stones was another matter.
