Natural God's Gift

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and the Flame Spider Merchants returned one after another. Both continents were peaceful this year.

Everything on the starship that could be dismantled and taken was taken by the Zerg warriors on both continents. With nothing left to fight over, there was naturally less conflict.

The Flame Spider Merchants were also happy to see this situation. Only a stable environment was suitable for their business. If the entire continent were at war, they wouldn't even have time to escape, let alone do business!

In November, just as Four-Leaf continued to dig water channels at the Twin Peaks construction site, the Green Glade Mountain Master and the Torch Mountain Master arrived together.

When they appeared at the foot of Twin Peaks, Four-Leaf, who was working in the water channel, was unaware.

"Four-Leaf," the Torch Mountain Master stood by the water channel, watching Four-Leaf working. Seeing how focused it was, he couldn't bear to disturb it.

"Huh?" Four-Leaf was working diligently when it sensed a mental call. It looked up and saw the Torch Mountain Master and the Green Glade Mountain Master, and then it realized what was happening.

"Torch Mountain Master, Green Glade Mountain Master, you're back?" The Purple Cloud Merchant Company returned quite early this year, didn't they? On the Myriad Race Continent, the Purple Cloud Merchant Company now only had the Green Glade Mountain Master and the Torch Mountain Master.

After witnessing the Divine-Grade Wish Fruit mature and learning about its effects and uses, the Purple Cloud Mountain Master took Dragon Sprout, Iron Wire, Peony, and芍药 (Sháo yào) back to the Myriad Kingdom Continent to explore trade routes.

Over there, they returned once every two years. Chariot Shaft Lord and the others returned last year, so they wouldn't be back this year.

The Green Glade Mountain Master responded, "It's not that early. It's only a few days later than in previous years."

Before Four-Leaf could respond, the Torch Mountain Master said, "Four-Leaf, what are you doing?"

Four-Leaf stood in the water channel and spread its six legs to indicate: "It's obvious, I'm digging soil."

The Torch Mountain Master rolled all eight of its eyes: "I'm not blind. Of course, I can see you're digging soil. I'm asking what you're digging it for!"

Four-Leaf: "I'm digging a water channel to divert floodwaters in the summer and irrigate the trees in the territory."

"A water channel? Tsk, that's a lot of work," the Torch Mountain Master looked at the area Four-Leaf had planned for the water channel. Because all the weeds and trees in the area had been cleared, it looked quite conspicuous.

The entire water channel was 15 meters wide, and in terms of length, it connected to the distant river, so it must be three or four kilometers long.

"How long do you plan to work on this?"

Four-Leaf said indifferently, "I'll just work on it when I have time."

Four-Leaf looked at their bulging carapaces and asked, "Green Glade Mountain Master, Torch Mountain Master, have you finished trading your Force Energy Foods?"

Generally, after the Flame Spider Merchant Company returned, they would go to the Kingdom Treasury as soon as possible to exchange all the Force Energy Foods they had traded for outside for Spider King Faith Scrolls and Force Energy Foods for their own consumption.

But looking at the bulging appearance of the two Mountain Masters' carapaces, it seemed that they hadn't gone to the Kingdom to trade yet.

Green Glade Mountain Master: "Not yet. We came here to you as soon as we got back."

"Ah?" Four-Leaf was a little puzzled: "You came to me as soon as you got back? Green Glade Mountain Master, is something the matter?"

Green Glade Mountain Master: "It's good news."

It didn't hide anything and directly took out a silk pouch from its carapace and opened it: "Haven't you been looking for a Strength-Type Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Food? When we were trading, we traded for a Strength-Type Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Food suitable for your age from a certain Painted Butterfly Tribe."

"Really?" Hearing the Green Glade Mountain Master say this, Four-Leaf's eight eyes lit up instantly.

It couldn't wait to crawl out of the water channel, rubbing its front claws together, eagerly waiting for the Green Glade Mountain Master to open the silk pouch.

The Green Glade Mountain Master said with a smile, "This fruit is a bit big and heavy."

Four-Leaf didn't mind: "Big? How big can it be? As big as a durian?"

"Not quite, but the weight isn't much lighter than a durian."

The Green Glade Mountain Master took out a round fruit from the silk pouch and showed it to Four-Leaf.

"This—" Four-Leaf widened its eight eyes. The Green Glade Mountain Master wasn't lying. This fruit was really big.

The Green Glade Mountain Master handed the fruit to Four-Leaf, and Four-Leaf quickly caught it.

This fruit was round, about 20 centimeters in diameter, and very heavy, almost like a solid ball. Four-Leaf estimated that this fruit weighed at least 15 kilograms.

The Torch Mountain Master on the side said triumphantly, "Four-Leaf, this is a Strength-Type Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Food that we worked hard to find. It's called a Cannonball Fruit."

"Cannonball Fruit?" Four-Leaf searched its inherited memories and immediately knew the function of this fruit. Cannonball Fruit, a Strength-Type Force Energy Food, its function was to condense strength like a cannonball and then explode it out.

Although it didn't directly increase its own carrying strength like a Cone Chestnut, this was also very good. It was good to have something to eat. Why be picky?

Four-Leaf asked, "Green Glade Mountain Master, is this Cannonball Fruit expensive?"

Green Glade Mountain Master: "It's quite expensive. This one fruit costs 3,000 Origin Stones. The Painted Butterfly Tribe's Divine-Bestowed Cannonball Fruit only produces once every five years.

I bought five Cannonball Fruits. You can eat one a year, which is about enough to last until the Divine-Bestowed Cannonball Fruit produces again in five years."

"3,000 Origin Stones for one?" Four-Leaf swallowed. Such an expensive fruit?

You should know that even the most expensive Divine-Bestowed Durian in the kingdom only costs 4,000 Origin Stones.

And that's a High-Level Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Food. If it were a Mountain Master-Level, Lord-Level, or King-Level Cannonball Fruit, wouldn't it cost several square Origin Stones for one?

In comparison, the Divine-Bestowed Sea Soul Fir and the Divine-Bestowed Cone Chestnut Seeds were trash.

However, it was said that in the Force Energy Star Realm, there were also restrictions on Divine-Bestowed Seeds. The annual output value of ordinary Divine-Bestowed Seeds would not exceed one hundred square Origin Stones, with the exception of Divine-Bestowed Seeds that had fallen in rank from Divine-Grade due to insufficient Force Energy, such as Sea Soul Fir.

The Green Glade Mountain Master handed the silk pouch containing the Divine-Bestowed Cannonball Fruit to Four-Leaf: "With a Strength-Type Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Food, the shortcomings in your physical body will improve a lot, right?"

As the Purple Cloud Merchant Company with the best relationship with Four-Leaf, they had also heard Four-Leaf mention many times that it lacked Strength-Type Divine-Bestowed Force Energy Foods.

"It will definitely improve a lot," Four-Leaf was extremely happy. In this way, its body could truly be without any shortcomings. Four-Leaf said, "Green Glade Mountain Master, I'll have Angelica take 15,000 Origin Stones worth of Divine-Bestowed Morning Glory Seeds to you when the time comes."

It was good to have a good relationship, but the money still had to be paid. After all, the Green Glade Mountain Master and the others also needed to evolve. Only a relationship of mutual cooperation and clear accounts could last.

In the following days, Four-Leaf stayed at Twin Peaks and didn't go anywhere, frantically eating all kinds of Force Energy Foods, striving to break through to the Advanced Three-Year-Old Warrior at the beginning of next year.

Lord Green Maple did come once. He told Four-Leaf that the kingdom's Flame Spider Merchants had found another Divine-Bestowed Seed, but Four-Leaf still had several Divine-Bestowed Seeds in its claws that it hadn't used yet, so it deposited the Divine-Bestowed Seed into the Kingdom Treasury, to be taken out and used when Four-Leaf needed it.

Four-Leaf had no objection to this. It also didn't want to unnecessarily increase its debt.
