Natural God's Gift

After obtaining the God-given Seed, Fourleaf went to Small Thistle and rented four boxes from it, creations of an extraterrestrial civilization, to store the seeds.

There were many such boxes in the Kingdom; almost every fallen starship brought some down. They only had one function, storing seeds, so they weren't worth much money, selling for only about 10,000 Origin Stones each.

The spiders within the Kingdom basically wouldn't buy them; they preferred to rent. Renting one for a year only cost 100 Origin Stones, so buying was naturally uneconomical.

However, insectoid warriors from outside the Kingdom would occasionally buy some for various reasons.

Fourleaf rented four, which only cost 400 Origin Stones a year.

After placing the God-given Seeds into the extraterrestrial civilization's boxes and storing them securely, Fourleaf dug a hole in the nest chamber of the Initial Territory and buried all the boxes inside.

With Green Maple Leader and the Lucky Clover God-given Seed guarding the Initial Territory, there was no safer place in the entire Star System.

After securing the God-given Seeds, Fourleaf began to take stock of its preparations for the age-stage evolution.

Among the many preparations it had made for advancing to a Tier-2 Advanced Warrior, its growth level was sufficient to allow a breakthrough, its Origin Power food was fully consumed, and the God-given Seeds for breeding in the life sac were also in place. Now, it only needed to wait for the spring season to break through.

However, before breaking through, it still had to inspect its territory as usual.

Needless to say about the Initial Territory, many Life Seedlings planted here were already fixed in place.

There was still a lot of space for development on the Twin Peaks side. The territory developed by the dozen or so Flame Spider Lesser Warriors was less than one percent.

It found Fire Maple and talked to it about the recent situation in the territory. The Life Seedlings in the territory were managed by Wormwood and the semi-Origin Power creature warriors under its command, while ordinary plants and territory development were Fire Maple's responsibility.

Fire Maple reported this year's work to Fourleaf: "Fourleaf, this year I led 20 Intermediate Flame Spider Lesser Warriors and cultivated a total of 200,000 square meters of land."

"Mm-hmm," Twenty Flame Spider warriors cultivating 200,000 square meters of land, averaging 10,000 square meters per year per spider. It sounded like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't much. Each spider only cultivated 100 * 100 meters of land.

However, these were just a group of Intermediate Flame Spider Lesser Warriors. Fourleaf didn't expect them to do anything earth-shattering. It hired these spiders more to complete the tasks assigned by the Kingdom and to help out the Lesser Warriors.

Fourleaf paid everyone's wages. The wages of each Lesser Warrior weren't high, only 360 Origin Stones a year, so twenty only cost 7,200 Origin Stones.

Before Peony and the others were here, Fourleaf had raised wages once, but after they advanced to Advanced Warriors and left, it continued to pay one Origin Stone per day.

However, it wasn't stingy and gave each Lesser Flame Spider a God-given Sea Date as a bonus.

After paying the wages, Fourleaf instructed: "In the coming days, you don't need to do anything else. Open up a territory on the hillside of Twin Peaks."

Fire Maple: "How big of a place do you need?"

Fourleaf: "The bigger, the better. Ideally, it should be over 100 * 100 square meters. Can you finish it before spring?" The Flame Spider Lesser Warriors had just received the delicious God-given Sea Dates and were very enthusiastic at the moment, saying one after another: "Guarantee to complete the mission!"

"That's good." When it breaks through to Tier-2 Advanced in the spring, it will plant the Cassia Seed God-given Seed.

It looked at it. The Cassia Seed God-given Seed would be planted on the hillside, the Thunder Vine was a Thunder-type plant and could be planted on the summit, as for the Field Pea, Lobelia chinensis, and Crownvetch, two could be planted on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and one in the forest.

After arranging everything, Fourleaf returned to the nest chamber in the Initial Territory and began to prepare for evolution.

It had Angelica keep watch over the territory while it consumed various Origin Power foods in the nest chamber to break through to Tier-2.

Because it had previously digested the Deep Sea Heavy Water, it had increased its Water-type talent potential.

Originally, there were only 62 types of Origin Seeds suitable for Advanced-stage Flame Spiders in the Kingdom.

After it increased its Water-type talent potential, it could also eat many God-given Origin Power foods suitable for Iridescent Flame Spiders.

The number of God-given Origin Power foods in its diet suddenly increased to 85.

Fourleaf stuffed various God-given Origin Power foods into its mouth, occasionally eating two slices of meat.

It now had no shortage of Life-type, Mental-type, Wood-type, and Water-type God-given Origin Power foods, but it hadn't heard of any Strength-type God-given Origin Power foods.

The God-given Chinquapin in the Kingdom was indeed a Strength-type God-given Seed, but its Origin Power was too refined, and the difference between the two was too great. Eating it at Fourleaf's current age stage would only be harmful.

After Fourleaf finished eating a whole bag of Origin Power food, it silently lay in the nest chamber and fell asleep.

During the stage of advancing to an Advanced Warrior, the sleeping time of insectoid warriors was greatly prolonged.

Fourleaf slept from the end of the year to the beginning of the next spring. When there were traces of green in the mountains and forests, its nest chamber was still tightly closed.

Originally, the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild wanted to say hello to it before leaving the Kingdom, but after communicating with Angelica, who was guarding the entrance of the nest chamber, they could only leave quietly without disturbing Fourleaf's evolution.

To Angelica's surprise, in addition to Bai Zhi and Green Maple Leader, other merchant guilds had also made one or two trips here, but for the same reason, they also did not see Fourleaf.

After another four or five days, when the peach blossoms planted on the adjacent territory were in full bloom on the hillside, the nest chamber door, which had been closed for nearly half a month, slowly opened.

Fourleaf, whose size had expanded by a circle, walked out of the nest chamber with a relaxed expression.

Angelica, who was guarding outside, immediately greeted it happily.

"Fourleaf, you've finally completed your evolution. You've been sleeping for more than half a month, and I was worried to death. Is everything okay?"

"Yes, everything is fine. Evolution at the Advanced stage is slower. The higher the realm, the slower the evolution. It's normal for some Insect Kings to spend half a year evolving."

Fourleaf: "Is everything okay outside?"

Angelica: "Everything outside is as usual."

Small age-stage evolutions are not like large realm evolutions. Insectoid warriors and Life Seedlings are under great pressure during large realm evolutions.

Small age-stage evolutions are just a small step. As long as the insectoid warrior and the Life Seedling don't have fatal flaws, they can easily cross it. They don't even need to supplement the Life Seedling with Origin Stones, so naturally nothing will happen.

"Do you need to eat something?"

"I already ate."

After asking a few words of concern, Angelica had time to look at Fourleaf.

Fourleaf's leg span was 2.39 meters in the Tier-1 stage. Now, after evolving once, its size had obviously expanded a lot. Angelica estimated that its leg span should be able to reach over 2.8 meters.

This was too amazing. You must know that the standard leg span of Flame Spider warriors in the Kingdom at the Tier-2 Advanced Warrior stage is 2.5 meters, and the average leg span is only 2.55 meters. Fourleaf had exceeded them by 0.3 meters.

Don't think that such a small amount doesn't seem like much, but the Tier-2 Advanced stage is just the beginning of the evolution stage. Everyone is initially breaking away from the Kingdom's support and relying on their own efforts.

If the distance increases in each future age stage, Angelica didn't dare to imagine how much Fourleaf would be separated from other spiders?

Angelica said: "Fourleaf, you seem to be bigger than other spiders of the same age."

"Is that so?" Fourleaf stretched out its eight limbs and looked: "Maybe it's because I ate a lot of God-given Water Cloud Persimmon seeds."

The effect of Water Cloud Persimmon is to expand the carapace. Eating too much will indeed cause this phenomenon.

"Then what about your other aspects? Will they be weakened?"

Fourleaf said easily: "It shouldn't. I can just test it when I have time."

"Okay!"
