Natural God's Gift

#224 - Settlement of accounts

It seems like there are more Life Seeds in the initial territory right now because the Life Seeds of junior and intermediate small warriors are all planted there. After they gradually grow up, the Life Seeds will be moved back to their own territory.

This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞.

The Five-Part Flame Spider Trader has the ability to turn Life Seeds into seeds and continue sowing them, and the original Flame Spider also has this ability.

It's just that compared to the Five-Part Flame Spider Trader being able to transform Life Seeds into seeds anytime and anywhere, their requirements are more stringent. Only when they reach the Lord level can they re-transform Life Seeds into seeds.

After all Flame Spider warriors reach the Lord level, they will transfer the Life Seeds back to their own territory, leaving the initial territory empty for small warriors to plant Life Seeds.

In fact, Zerg warriors, upon reaching the Zerg King level, all possess the ability to re-transform Life Seeds into seeds.

Some Zerg Kings, upon reaching the ninth instar and about to leave the Origin Star Realm, will re-transform the Life Seeds into seeds and bring them away from the Origin Star Realm in their Life Sacs.

Clover doesn't need to consider such long-term plans for now; it just needs to maximize the output of Life Seeds.

After Qingfeng Lord completed the transfer of the two God-Given Seeds, he stayed outside the mental range of Lucky Clover's spiritual will.

He practices his skills whenever he has nothing to do. For him, there is not much difference between practicing skills under the Qingfeng God-Given Seed Tree and practicing skills near the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed.

And after Clover completed the Life Seed transplantation, it also began to get busy.

This year, in addition to the two newly transplanted God-Given Seeds, the other 16 Life Seeds, including Soul Beans, can all bloom and bear fruit, entering a high-level state of abundant production.

Many Life Seeds are producing for the first time, so it needs to keep a close eye on them.

Throughout January and February, it had the Mugwort Little Bee Queen appropriately thin out and pollinate the Life Seeds. After working continuously for a month or two, the Mugwort Little Bee Queen led the bee colony to complete the pollination of everyone's Life Seeds.

It's not that it's too slow, it's just that the number of Life Seeds it has to manage is a bit too much. Advanced Flame Spiders such as Snowdrift, Rejuvenation, and Canna, including Clover and themselves, add up to more than twenty, and each one has at least 18 Life Seeds, one or two hundred Life Seeds, all of which need to complete the pollination work within a month, and Mugwort's two little Assistant Kings are very busy.

After the Life Seeds began to bear green fruits, everyone became idle.

When they had free time, Clover and the others began to care about the caravan matters.

Clover called Bai Zhi, Danggui, and also Mugwort, and everyone came to Tianya Reef to calculate last year's income.

The main reason for coming to Tianya Reef is that there is also a Caesalpinia sappan that can only live in the water.

Everyone gathered together to calculate last year's income and expenditure.

"We were too busy at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and many things on the trade route didn't have time to be accounted for. Now that we're free, we can finally calculate the income from a year of trading last year."

Hearing Clover say that they could start accounting, everyone was happy. Who wouldn't be happy to have Origin Stones to share?

Clover: "Danggui, how many God-Given Tea Seeds did you collect from Hongcha last year?"

Danggui: "The price of God-Given Tea Seeds at the end of last year was 25 Origin Stones per seed. We collected 800 seeds from Hongcha,

for a total value of 20,000 Origin Stones. We also collected ordinary Origin Power food worth 4,000 Origin Stones, for a total price of 24,000 Origin Stones."

"Initially, it owed us 13,200 Origin Stones, of which 1,000 Origin Stones were for the God-Given Spider King Scroll.

Then, at the end of the year, we brought it God-Given Origin Power food worth 5,000 Origin Stones, and 1,800 Origin Stones past.

These total 20,000 Origin Stones, and then we paid 4 Spider Silk Scrolls with a face value of one thousand."

"Uh," everyone was a little dizzy by Danggui's words. How to calculate the profit of each transaction with these incoming and outgoing prices?

Everyone looked at Clover: "How do we calculate the price?"

Clover calculated it and then said: "We'll calculate the accounts in batches, starting with the incoming ones."

It signaled Danggui: "Take out all the Origin Power food traded last year."

"Okay." Danggui flew back to the nest room next to the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed and took all the God-Given Tea Seeds and other Origin Power food stored last year.

After Danggui brought the things down, Clover continued: "The two thousand Origin Stones from the first year,

Mugwort didn't contribute any money, so now Mugwort will contribute four hundred first."

Letting Mugwort pay now is not because Clover is being petty, but just to make the accounting easier. In fact, it can immediately earn back these Origin Stones, and Clover is quite generous to its own insects.

Hearing Clover's words, Mugwort immediately took out five Spider Silk Scrolls with a face value of one hundred and placed them in front of Clover.

Then Clover continued: "The ten thousand Origin Stones from the trader last year were jointly funded by everyone, with an average contribution of two thousand Origin Stones per insect and beast. This is set aside and doesn't need to be calculated."

"At the end of last year, Bai Zhi, Danggui, the cost price of the God-Given Origin Power food you brought to Hongcha was 3,900 Origin Stones, plus 1,800 Origin Stones, for a total of 5,700 Origin Stones. Bai Zhi paid for these Origin Stones at the time, so the remaining four of us will each compensate you 1,140 Origin Stones."

The insects didn't need Clover to urge them and obediently took out the corresponding number of Spider King Scrolls and gave them to Bai Zhi.

Caesalpinia sappan swayed its giant tail and sent out a mental message: "Clover, I don't have Spider King Scrolls with small denominations."

Clover thought for a moment and said: "Then Caesalpinia sappan's share will be deducted from the total account later. As for the Origin Power food given to Zimu last year, it will be counted as my personal share, after all, I asked it to nurture Life Seeds. When we go to trade again this year, the trading share will be counted for the entire caravan."

"By the way, did you give the seeds to Zimu?"

Bai Zhi said: "We gave it to it. We personally saw it evolve and then put the purple pine seeds you selected into its Life Sac."

Clover moved its chelicerae: "Then there's nothing else to do."

"With the expenses calculated, we'll calculate the income next. After the expenses are flattened, the income will be easy to calculate."

"The income of 24,000 Origin Stones is divided equally among the five insects, with each insect getting Origin Power food worth 4,800 Origin Stones."

It looked at the insects: "800 God-Given Tea Seeds, we five, each gets 160 seeds.

4,000 ordinary Origin Power food, each gets goods worth 800 Origin Stones."

"Report," the Mugwort Little Bee Queen raised its claw.

"What's wrong?"

The Mugwort Little Bee Queen said: "I'm only at the intermediate stage now, and I can't eat that many God-Given Tea Seeds. Give me 20 seeds, and it should be enough for me and the two Assistant Kings to share."

At this stage, the kingdom provides Origin Power food for evolution, and it can also brew Origin Power honey and God-Given honey, which is richer than Clover and Bai Zhi were at the same age. It really doesn't need to eat too many God-Given Tea Seeds.

"That's fine too. The God-Given Tea Seeds will be counted as 3,500 Origin Stones for you, as capital to stay in the caravan."

Bai Zhi also said: "I'll take 60 seeds, and the remaining 100 seeds will also be counted as capital for the caravan's business."

Danggui quickly said: "I'm the same, 60 God-Given Tea Seeds are enough for me to eat in this instar. Anyway, Hongcha's God-Given Seed produces every two years, and I can still eat fresh ones the year after next."

Seeing this, Clover moved its antennae. Everyone in the kingdom can buy various God-Given Origin Power food, so of course they won't be stupid enough to only eat God-Given Tea Seeds. The more types of God-Given Origin Power food they have, the lower the proportion of eating a single type.

In reality, the 200 God-given tea seeds that Red Tea kept for itself already seemed a bit too much. If it were smarter, it should have exchanged them for other God-given Origin Power foods, or for Spider King Scrolls that wouldn't cause Origin Power loss.

“I only need 60 God-given tea seeds. Yunshi, you're huge, so you should be able to eat all 160 God-given tea seeds, right? You shouldn't need to save any, should you?”

Yunshi shook its head and wagged its tail, stirring up waves, and cheerfully said, “160 God-given tea seeds are just enough to fill the gap between my teeth.”

Everyone: “…”

Four-Leaf continued, “Let's continue the previous topic. We'll each keep 100 God-given tea seeds, plus the 140 that Artemisia kept, leaving 440 seeds. At 25 Origin Stones per seed, that's a total value of 11,000 Origin Stones.

I, Bai Zhi, and Angelica will each contribute 1,000 Origin Stones to share the principal.”

Yunshi: “What about me?”

Four-Leaf: “According to the previous general ledger, you owe Bai Zhi 1,140 Origin Stones, plus the 3,500 Origin Stones for the principal, so you need to contribute a total of 4,640 Origin Stones.”

Yunshi shook its head: “So complicated.”

It spat out a metal cylinder produced by the Purple彩 Flame Spider tribe: “Four-Leaf, this is a Spider King Scroll that my mother traded for with Lord Qingfeng. Take one!”

Without Four-Leaf's instruction, Angelica flew to the sea surface, hooked the spider silk rope tied to the metal bamboo tube, and brought it back to shore for Four-Leaf.

Four-Leaf opened the metal bamboo tube to check. Inside were a dozen or twenty Spider King Scrolls, each with a face value of ten thousand.

Everyone: “…”

No wonder it said before that it didn't have Spider King Scrolls with small denominations; it turns out they were all large denominations. Lord Dragon Beard is really rich.

Four-Leaf twirled a Spider King Scroll and said, “I'll take 10,000 Origin Stones and give you 200 God-given tea seeds and 360 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food.”

With this, the caravan's assets reached 17,500 Origin Stones. After a few insects calculated, they simply added another 500 Origin Stones each to make it 20,000 Origin Stones.

The caravan's funds were increasing, and everyone was briefly excited, but Four-Leaf was not overwhelmed by this small fortune. It reminded them: “Don't forget, Red Tea still has 5,000 Origin Stones worth of Spider King Scrolls.

Only it can be considered a trading partner in our caravan right now.

Now there's a problem: God-given tea seeds are a God-given Origin Power food that is produced once every two years. A batch was just produced last year, and this year it needs to accumulate for a year before we can harvest at the end of next year.

It's not sustainable for a caravan to rely on only one insect to earn profits. We need to find a few more insect warriors as new customers.”

Angelica: “Should we continue to go to the Star Sand Islands? There are more seabirds there, and the probability of insect warriors being born is relatively low.”

Four-Leaf: “That doesn't matter. We can look for them on other islands. With Yunshi and you around, we at least don't have to carry heavy Origin Power food and blindly search for trading partners everywhere. We can maximize efficiency.”

Bai Zhi raised a claw: “Should we spend money to build a ship this year?

Under normal circumstances, transporting Origin Power food can be done by the Flame Spiders themselves, but they don't have much carrying capacity at sea.

Yunshi's huge body can carry a large amount of Origin Power food and roam in the sea. The only small problem is that its body is a bit too large to get close to the islands, otherwise it will easily run aground.

Looking at it this way, building a ship seems to be a necessary thing.

“Then I'll go talk to Boss Xiao Ji later to see how many Origin Stones it costs to build a ship.”

Four-Leaf distributed the Origin Power food. Everyone collected their share, and the public Origin Power food was also packed in spider silk bags and sealed.

God-given tea seeds belong to the spiritual enhancement category. There is no shortage of market for this kind of God-given Origin Power food. The remaining two hundred or so God-given tea seeds don't need to be handed over to the kingdom level. Ji Xue and the spiders that have a good relationship with it can easily eat them all.

Four-Leaf handed its share and the public share to Angelica: “Ji Xue and the others should not have left the kingdom yet. They have already pre-ordered God-given tea seeds with us. Sell the rest to them. Bai Zhi and I will go find Xiao Ji.”

“Then I'll leave first.” Angelica hooked up several spider silk bags and greeted everyone before flying directly away from Tianya Reef.

Artemisia: “Four-Leaf, I also need to go and direct the worker bees to fertilize everyone's Life Seeds.”

Four-Leaf said indifferently: “Go!”

Yunshi wagged its tail and swallowed its share of Origin Power food: “Four-Leaf, I'll play nearby. When the caravan wants to continue traveling and trading, summon me with the Sea God Horn.”

“Okay!”

Seeing that everyone had left, it said to Bai Zhi, “Let's go, we'll go find Boss Xiao Ji.”

Xiao Ji is also a relatively special existence in the kingdom. It is a junior of Mountain Lord Da Ji and inherited Mountain Lord Da Ji's previous job of renting out tools for reclaiming territory a few years ago.

Elementary and intermediate Flame Spider warriors need these auxiliary reclamation tools, and even Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders occasionally customize various tools from it.

With its own territory, its own Life Seed, and the income from renting tools, it lives a more comfortable life than most Flame Spider warriors of the same realm.

Even if the kingdom issues reclamation missions to earn extra Origin Stones, it still hasn't been moved. It still stays in the kingdom and does the business of renting tools with peace of mind.

This is not to blame it. In recent years, only advanced Flame Spiders can leave the kingdom. The elementary and intermediate small warriors among the Six Departments of Flame Spiders can only manage territories in the kingdom. The usage of various tools has greatly increased. It can earn a lot of money here, so why bother going out to take risks?

It is said that in the past two years, it has also cooperated with the Mountain Lords of the Purple彩 Flame Spider tribe to recycle weapons for recasting, which is also a very profitable business. It is considered a qualified merchant spider that fits the behavior of Flame Spider warriors.

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi came to Xiao Ji's territory and emitted spiritual thoughts to call out loudly: “Boss Xiao Ji, is Boss Xiao Ji there?”

Under their constant calls, a primitive Flame Spider that was several times larger than them emerged from the nest.

The big spider crawled out of the nest, saw the two of them, was a little surprised, and then greeted them warmly: “Is it Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi? You two are rare guests. Why are you free to come here today?”

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi are quite famous in the kingdom. There are not many spiders in the kingdom who have God-given Life Seeds before the Mountain Lord level, only five or six of them. The most famous is Four-Leaf. It has too many God-given Seeds and has long been famous.

The second is Ji Xue. It has a large tree God-given Seed, which is also a rising star in the kingdom.

Bai Zhi has a rapeseed flower God-given Seed. Although it only has one-tenth of the share, it is also quite famous. No matter how much share it has, the status of an insect with a God-given Seed can naturally be higher than that of other insects.

Four-Leaf also responded enthusiastically: “Haha, Boss Xiao Ji, you've made a fortune recently. Why do I feel like you've gotten a circle fatter?”

“Is that so?” Xiao Ji scanned its body with spiritual thoughts, and its front four legs kept gesticulating on its body,

While measuring its waist circumference, it explained: “Maybe it's because I'm preparing to evolve to a new age recently, and then I've gained some weight. This is also good, as it can increase the probability of evolution.”
