Natural God's Gift

Four Leaf said, "There's also something else. Before, we only had Red Tea as a trading partner, so our caravan's stock of Origin Power food was only 10,000 Origin Stones."

"Now, we've also found Silver Plum Continent, which has a total of eighteen insect warriors."

Even if each insect warrior can only generate a trade volume of 2,000 Origin Stones per year, that's still nearly 40,000 Origin Stones. What's more, Silver Plum Continent also has two Mountain Lords and two God-Given Seeds.

If we can make their Origin Power food completely dependent on us, we can have a trade volume of at least 50,000 Origin Stones per year."

"Such a high trade volume?" Bai Zhi and Danggui had discussed this before, so they weren't surprised. Only Artemisia didn't know about this, and now her eyes lit up when she heard it.

"Yes," Four Leaf commented, "If their age can keep increasing, and in the future, there are a dozen Mountain Lords, or even Lords, then the trade volume will be even higher in the future."

"The current problem is that our caravan's Origin Power food stock is not enough. Before this trade,"

"the 10,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food that each insect bought for 2,000 Origin Stones has all been sold, with a 20% profit, earning 2,000 Origin Stones."

"But this amount is still a far cry from the quantity of 50,000 Origin Stones."

"This money-making speed is a bit fast!" It's only been a few months since she went out, and before the honey she collected in the spring was brewed, she had already earned 2,000 Origin Stones. If the business gets bigger, she can earn even more.

No wonder so many Flame Spiders are traveling merchants. Their age evolution speed is not lower than that of ordinary insect warriors. If they find one or two wealthy tribes as trading partners, they can take off directly.

Danggui took over Four Leaf's words: "So if we want to expand our business, we need to add a little more capital to the caravan."

"Oh," Adding some capital was not a problem for Artemisia. After so many years, she had also been promoted from a First Age small Bee Queen to a high-level warrior.

Compared to other insect warriors who only rely on Life Seed income, she also has a little extra income. Of course, this extra income does not refer to the extra income earned by Four Leaf and the others when they go out to trade.

Every spring, she takes her bee colony to collect honey all over the mountains and plains. In addition, she also collects honey and pollinates the Life Seeds of the original Flame Spider warriors, brewing more expensive Origin Power honey. She also obtained the right to collect honey from Four Leaf's God-Given Seed, brewing God-Given Honey.

Every year, in addition to her and her bee colony eating a portion of these honey, the rest can all be sold. Just by collecting honey, she has a profit of several thousand Origin Stones a year.

Moreover, she was only promoted to a high-level warrior this year and is still in the settling period. Before, her growth and evolution did not require her to provide Origin Power food herself, but was entirely supported by the kingdom. Every year, plus the output of her Life Seed, she has nearly 10,000 Origin Stones of Origin Power food stored up. After so many years of accumulation, she is now also a small, wealthy insect.

Artemisia asked, "Then how much capital does each insect need now in Origin Stones?"

Four Leaf estimated the scale of her own trading, and then calculated the number of insect warriors she traded with, and then said: "Considering that there are currently a lot of insect warriors we know, and the trade may expand in the future, I plan to increase the caravan's capital to 100,000 Origin Stones."

"100,000 Origin Stones! That means each insect has to pay 20,000 Origin Stones? Let me calculate if I can take it out." Bai Zhi and Danggui muttered. If they took out 20,000 Origin Stones in one go, then their evolution speed this year might be delayed.

Four Leaf said: "There's no need to calculate like that. How about this, everyone will share the Origin Power food brought back from this transaction first."

"As for the 20,000 Origin Stones of capital needed by the caravan, didn't we calculate that I have to give 40,000 Origin Stones of Origin Power food every year as payment for buying the God-Given Fire?"

"You can store the 40,000 Origin Stones of remuneration that I need to pay next year in the caravan first, and you only need to make up the remaining 40,000 Origin Stones."

"Also, starting from next year, only the profits from the caravan's transactions will be distributed, and the principal will not be distributed repeatedly, so as to save everyone trouble."

Four Leaf calculated that if she contributed 40,000 Origin Stones, plus her own 20,000 Origin Stones, even so, the Origin Power food left over from her Life Seed would be enough for her own evolution. In this way, the pressure on Bai Zhi and the others would also be reduced a lot.

Bai Zhi and the others thought about it and felt that this method was not bad.

Bai Zhi: "Then do we need to bring some God-Given Origin Power food over next year?"

Four Leaf: "Of course, I'm still counting on getting some God-Given Snakeberry fruit from the Snakeberry Mountain Lord's claws for everyone to eat."

After Four Leaf distributed the things, she said: "Everything has been said, let's all disperse if there's nothing else."

"Then we're going back." Everyone also dispersed and returned to their respective nest chambers.

They have been traveling merchants for the first half of the year. Now that they are home, they should also take a look at their Life Seeds, and everyone has their own little private matters to deal with.

Four Leaf returned to the nest chamber next to the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed. She estimated that she would not go out in the coming time. It was quite tiring to go out as a traveling merchant, especially Yun Shi and Danggui. They had to explore the island and search for insect warriors. This time, they also frequently went into the water, so they couldn't wear them out.

Yun Shi is actually okay. Her huge body is placed there. Both her life and strength have reached the peak of the same level. It's just that Danggui's strength is a bit weak, so it's not easy to deal with if she encounters danger.

However, their insect warriors don't have any other good ways to improve their strength in the advanced stage. Four Leaf can only wait until Danggui is at the Mountain Lord level before thinking of a way to see how to improve her strength.

It's just that when Four Leaf was preparing to do nothing in the second half of the year and upgrade to a Second Age high-level warrior with peace of mind, she didn't expect Ginkgo Lord to come to her.

Four Leaf was still in the nest chamber in the initial territory. Seeing Ginkgo Lord come to find her, she was a little surprised: "Ginkgo Lord, is there anything wrong?"

Over the years, Ginkgo Lord has hardly ever looked for her. Usually, it is Maple Lord and Tiger Cane Mountain Lord who come to find her.

Ginkgo Lord said: "I'm here to find you to arrange something for you!"

"Ginkgo Lord, please speak!"

Ginkgo Lord: "You should know about the kingdom's cultivation of combat spiders in recent years, right?"

Four Leaf: "I know some. I heard that three Flame Spider warriors have been selected as combat spiders for training."

Ginkgo Lord: "Yes, every five years, we will select a few high-level Flame Spiders with combat talent from the kingdom for special training. In the future, we will also select Mountain Lord level Flame Spiders to enter the training phase."

Four Leaf was puzzled, what does this have to do with her?

To be honest, the original Flame Spiders with only wood-based talent potential are much weaker in combat than the metal-based Purple Rainbow Flame Spiders and the fire-based White Leg Flame Spiders. It's not that they are completely unmatched,

but they are also very restrained by them.

Si Ye was self-aware. Although it had some luck and talent in managing its territory, it was no match for the Fivefold Flame Spider in combat. Therefore, it didn't expect to get a spot as a combat spider cultivated by the kingdom.

With so many divinely bestowed lifeforms, it didn't lack those few evolution resources. For various reasons, it didn't have a thorough understanding or pay much attention to this matter.

Lord Ginkgo said, "The kingdom plans to use some special resources on the selected advanced Flame Spiders to help them grow and increase their strength."

"Si Ye, you should now be aware of your own special qualities. I and the other lords of the kingdom have discussed it and decided to use a portion of the kingdom's special resources on you as well."

"Special resources?" Si Ye was puzzled. It had just been thinking that there shouldn't be any way to increase strength at the advanced warrior stage. Unexpectedly, Lord Ginkgo said that there were special resources to enhance Flame Spider warriors.

Lord Ginkgo said confidently, "Si Ye, our Flame Spider Kingdom can call itself the number one tribe on the Myriad Races Continent, and it's not just boasting. We have the strength and confidence to back it up.

Now that you have advanced to the advanced warrior stage, the kingdom's foundation can also be shown to you.

Speaking of these special resources, you should have seen some of them, or at least heard of them. Let's go, I'll take you to the kingdom's secret vault to broaden your horizons."

"I've seen them before?" Although Si Ye's heart was full of doubts, it didn't ask any more questions and obediently followed Lord Ginkgo towards the Abyss Mountain.

Si Ye followed Lord Ginkgo up the mountain and into the service hall. Under the gaze of the original species Flame Spider Camellia warrior, who had taken over the position of Lord Octagonal Mountain, it followed Lord Ginkgo into the vault storing Origin Power food.

The Abyss's vault was below the service hall. Usually, only the insect warriors guarding the service hall could come down.

Over the years, Si Ye had been to the Abyss Mountain of the kingdom many times, and had even been to the bottom once or twice, but it had never been to the vault storing Origin Power food.

Si Ye followed Lord Ginkgo into the vault below the service hall. What came into view was a long, dark passage. Relying on the Flame Spider's night vision ability and mental power, it detected that the passage was ten meters in diameter, both in width and height.

The whole thing was circular, just like the water pipes it had seen before. As for the length, it couldn't tell.

Moreover, this passage was entirely made of special metal. Its mental power attached to it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no feedback at all.

Lord Ginkgo turned on the light in the passage, and the entire passage immediately lit up. Whether it was because it was painted blue, or it was originally this color, the entire passage presented a warm blue color.

Lord Ginkgo took the lead and walked forward, then signaled to Si Ye, "Let's go!"

"Oh, oh," Si Ye followed behind Lord Ginkgo and asked curiously, "Lord Ginkgo, why do I feel like this passage is absorbing the mental power I'm emitting?"

Lord Ginkgo: "Because this passage is made of an A-grade Origin Power metal that can absorb mental power. Insect warriors inside will have their mental power greatly restricted."

"Ah?" Si Ye was shocked: "Lord Ginkgo, is this passage also a creation of extraterrestrial civilization dismantled from a starship?"

Lord Ginkgo: "Not entirely. Some were dismantled from starships, but there weren't that many at the beginning.

The former Spider King found Origin Power metal with the same material as the starships, and then remade it, eventually forming these passages in our kingdom's vault."

"Don't underestimate the vault. There are also many technological mechanisms in the vault. Coupled with strong defenses, even if the Insect King rashly breaks in, it will suffer a great loss."

Is the kingdom so wealthy? The Origin Power metal that Si Ye had found before was only enough to create one weapon.

Its value reached thousands of Origin Stones. This passage is hundreds of meters long, how many Origin Power weapons could be made from the Origin Power metal on it?

Si Ye closely followed behind Lord Ginkgo. Origin Power metal was being used as building material to build passages. It was now even more curious about what the special resources Lord Ginkgo was talking about were.

The two spiders walked for a hundred or two hundred meters and reached the end of the passage. At the end of the passage, Lord Ginkgo led Si Ye into the real vault.

This vault was very large, unlike the small vault on Lord Qingfeng's side. The height of the vault was the same as the passage, but the area reached tens of square meters.

Cabinets, each five meters high, were neatly arranged in the vault. Each cabinet had 60 drawers,

and they were all categorized according to different classifications. The cabinets were placed side by side, forming passages wide enough for Flame Spider warriors to walk through.

Lord Ginkgo introduced to Si Ye: "There are a total of ten thousand cabinets here. Each cabinet has 60 drawers, and each cabinet stores Origin Power food with similar properties.

The cabinets and drawers storing Origin Power food are all transparent, and the Origin Power food inside is preserved using rapid freezing technology. Even if it is stored for hundreds of years, the Origin Power will not be lost."

"During the kingdom's peak, the Origin Power food stored here was extremely valuable, with a quantity of billions. However, now it is the early stage of Origin Power revival, so only some storage cabinets are still in use, and most are still vacant."

Si Ye couldn't imagine how many billions of Origin Power food there were. If you add the countless Origin Stones inside the Abyss, it's no wonder the Abyss has become a forbidden area. Are all the valuable things placed here?

Si Ye: "Lord Ginkgo, are the special resources you mentioned here?"

Lord Ginkgo: "Not really. Although the Origin Power food in the vault is valuable, that is based on the quantity.

Because special resources are too precious, they are not placed here."

With that said, Si Ye was a little puzzled: "Then what are we doing here?"

Lord Ginkgo smiled: "The special resources are not here, but I didn't say they weren't in this vault!"

Lord Ginkgo didn't beat around the bush with Si Ye. It walked to the end of the vault, in front of a cabinet against the wall, and beckoned for Si Ye to come over.

"The outer periphery of this vault contains ordinary Origin Power food and divinely bestowed Origin Power food, while the interior of the vault has a secret vault dedicated to storing special items. The things inside are the real treasures of the kingdom."

As it spoke, it raised its front foot and pressed a button on the cabinet. A metal door next to the cabinet opened directly.

Lord Ginkgo took the lead and walked in, and then Si Ye followed closely behind it and walked in as well.

Lord Ginkgo turned on the light in the secret vault, illuminating the entire secret vault.

Compared to the huge vault outside, the secret vault was much smaller, but the things inside shocked Si Ye.
