Natural God's Gift

The insect warriors did not arrive on Island 18 at the same time; some arrived very early, while others didn't show up until a few days later.

One reason for this was the delay in information, and another was that some insects had traded for enough original force food last year to evolve to the next stage, so their need for external original force food this year was not very urgent.

When Mountain Master Snakeberry and Mountain Master Hollow arrived on Island 18, there were already three or four insect warriors who had completed their transactions ahead of them.

"Boss Fourleaf," Mountain Master Snakeberry and Mountain Master Hollow greeted politely.

"Mountain Master Snakeberry, Mountain Master Hollow, what would you like to buy this time?"

The two mountain masters looked at the open silk bags placed on the ground, which mostly contained high-level original force food.

They could also eat high-level original force food, but the effect would definitely not be as good as the same level of original force food.

Mountain Master Snakeberry said with dissatisfaction, "Boss Fourleaf, you seem to have very little mountain master-level original force food."

"Hehe," Fourleaf said with a simple smile, "Because most of the insect warriors who trade with me are high-level, so I brought more high-level original force food."

Mountain Master Hollow said unhappily, "High-level warriors can also eat mountain master-level original force food.

Boss Fourleaf, you should bring more mountain master-level original force food."

Fourleaf did not respond directly. These two guys were very shrewd. Most of the original force food they consumed was obtained through internal exchanges with the insect warriors in their Silver Plum Continent, so Fourleaf couldn't earn much original stone from them.

Even the God-given Silver Plum Seeds, they controlled the amount they sold very tightly, otherwise Fourleaf wouldn't have needed to trade with other insect warriors in Silver Plum Continent.

"Mountain Master Snakeberry, Mountain Master Hollow, take a look and see which original force food you need?"

The two mountain masters looked at the various original force food spread out, picking and choosing, and finally only selected some mental-type tea seeds and strength-type red cypress seeds. The total price of the original force food purchased by the two insects was less than 5,000 original stones.

When settling the accounts, both sides couldn't help but curse inwardly at the same time.

"Damn profiteer—"

"Miserly ghost——"

After the ordinary original force food was traded, it was time for the main event: "Boss Fourleaf, White Zhizhu Claw, we said last year, please bring some God-given original force food this year, did you bring any?"

"Since you said so, we naturally brought some."

Fourleaf and White Zhizhu Claw picked up a few sealed silk bags. White Zhizhu Claw opened one of the silk bags and twisted out a few seeds with a metallic luster, saying, "Mountain Master Hollow, you said last year that you wanted some mountain master-level God-given original force food, this year I brought you three kinds.

The first type is mountain master-level God-given Iron Knife Wood Seeds, which harden metal shells, 4 original stones per seed, and I brought 500 seeds here."

"The second type is mountain master-level God-given Honeysuckle Seeds, which strengthen metal abilities. Because the seeds are relatively small, the price is also cheaper, one original stone per seed, and there are a total of one thousand seeds."

"The third type is God-given Golden Dew Plum Seeds, which lighten metal shells, 10 original stones per seed, and I brought 100 seeds here."

Mountain Master Hollow tasted one of each kind, and after eating them, he said with some lingering interest, "Boss Fourleaf, White Zhizhu Claw, the things are good, but is the quantity a little too small?"

The three types of God-given original force food added up to only 4,000 original stones, which couldn't even fill a small silk bag. This quantity was really too small. Not to mention 4,000 original stones worth of goods, it could easily eat 40,000 original stones worth of goods.

"Hehe," Fourleaf said embarrassedly, "Mountain Master Hollow, please understand, our kingdom relies on the God-given Spider King Credit Note to pre-order and purchase God-given original force food. Our caravan has limited financial resources and not enough God-given Spider King Credit Notes, so we can't buy too much God-given original force food."

Mountain Master Snakeberry questioned, "God-given Spider King Credit Note? Is it the Spider King Credit Note that you showed us before? Is it more useful than God-given original force food? We traded a lot of God-given Snakeberry Fruits to you."

"That's right," Fourleaf patiently explained to the two mountain masters, "The God-given original force food that our Flame Spider Merchants trade outside, in addition to the part we eat ourselves, the other excess parts can be handed over to the kingdom to exchange for God-given Spider King Credit Notes.

When the spring season comes, we will use the God-given Spider King Credit Notes to purchase the God-given original force food we need to travel outside. If customers need God-given original force food, we will pre-order a share in advance."

"It's not that God-given original force food is not valuable, but there are many kinds of God-given original force food. The God-given original force food suitable for insects with wood-type talents may not be suitable for insects with fire-type talents. The circulation of each type of God-given original force food is limited.

In comparison, God-given original force food is really not as useful as God-given Spider King Credit Notes."

"Is that so?" Hearing Fourleaf say this, Mountain Master Snakeberry was dubious. Although it didn't quite believe it, it had no evidence to refute it.

"Mountain Master Snakeberry, our Flame Spider Kingdom wants to trade with insect warriors all over the continent. God-given original force food is in short supply. Most customers rely on pre-orders."

Fourleaf said this without changing his expression. If White Zhizhu Claw and Danggui didn't know the inside story, they would have really believed it.

However, what Fourleaf said was also half true. The liquidity of God-given Spider King Credit Notes in the kingdom is indeed greater than that of God-given original force food. Although it is not valuable in itself, it is still very practical as a circulating currency.

But it was definitely false that Fourleaf did not have God-given original force food to exchange for God-given Spider King Credit Notes. Fourleaf had many God-given Seeds, so it was too easy to exchange for some Spider King Credit Notes.

However, it was true that their caravan did not have much capital. They spent too many original stones on their own evolution.

This ten-square original stone worth of materials was still hard to scrape together. They couldn't exchange for too much God-given original force food even if they wanted to.

"Then do you have other kinds of God-given original force food?"

"Yes, but the level is only high-level."

"Let's see?"

"Okay."

Fourleaf and White Zhizhu Claw took out the other God-given original force food and introduced them one by one: "The iron camphor seeds produced by high-level wild God-given Seeds have super large fruits, and their function is to strengthen metal defense. 1200 original stones per seed, I brought two seeds, do you want them?"

Fourleaf took out two fruits with a diameter of fifteen or sixteen centimeters.

Mountain Master Hollow's eyes lit up: "I want them."

"The soil-type God-given Mangrove Fruit produced by high-level God-given Seeds, 25 original stones per seed, a total of 100 seeds, Mountain Master Snakeberry, do you want them?"

"Yes!"

"Similarly, the God-given Giant-winged Maple seeds produced by high-level wild God-given Seeds, 5 original stones per seed, a total of 500 seeds, do you want them?"

"Yes!" Although Mountain Master Snakeberry was stingy, it was also very clear-headed. It bought the God-given original force food it needed very decisively.

Fourleaf settled the price of various God-given original force food, totaling 20,000 original stones.

Hearing the price quoted by Fourleaf, Mountain Master Snakeberry took out its silk bag and said, "According to the verbal agreement from the year before last, Hollow and I will each trade 50 God-given Silver Plum Seeds to you, and the price of one God-given Silver Plum Seed is 150 original stones, right?"

"Yes,"

Those hundred God-given Silver Plum Seeds are worth 15,000 Origin Stones. I'll use God-given Snakeberry Fruit to pay for the remaining 5,000 Origin Stones.” Fourleaf coldly watched, this guy really wasn't willing to take out too many God-given Silver Plum Seeds. As for the God-given Snakeberry Fruit, although it was also good, it was just so-so. As far as it knew, there were no fewer than four Snakeberry God-given Seeds on the Myriad Race Continent, so their value was average.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but say, “Snakeberry Mountain Master, would it be convenient to trade some more God-given Silver Plum Seeds to us?”

“No can do, Bai Zhi assistant claw. The insect warriors in our Silver Plum Continent also have a great demand for God-given Silver Plum Seeds, and we don't even have enough to eat ourselves.”

This was the first time Snakeberry Mountain Master had traded with these spiders, and it had already noticed that they were very cunning.

The reason it was holding onto the God-given Silver Plum Seeds and not trading them in large quantities was not only to ensure its own share of God-given Silver Plum Seeds, but also to get some real good stuff from the other party's claws.

Otherwise, what kind of things do you think these profiteers would bring out?

Things like God-given Golden Dew Plum Seeds and God-given Honeysuckle Seeds are all worthless.

Although the God-given Mangrove Fruit is good, the high-level God-given Origin Power Foods don't have as good an effect when they eat them as the Mountain Master level ones.

Hearing Snakeberry Mountain Master say this, Fourleaf sneered in its heart, but still said politely, “Snakeberry Mountain Master, if the insect warriors on the island have extra God-given Silver Plum Seeds to trade with us, you wouldn't have any objections, right?”

Snakeberry Mountain Master: “I naturally wouldn't have any objections if other insect warriors have extra God-given Silver Plum Seeds to trade with you, and I would even strongly approve of it.”

In any case, the number of God-given Silver Plum Seeds in the claws of other insect warriors was just a small amount, and even if they traded, they wouldn't be able to trade much.

“In that case, I'm relieved. I was worried you wouldn't agree before.”

With Snakeberry Mountain Master's words, it could increase its purchasing efforts.

While they were chatting, other insect warriors flew over to trade Origin Power Foods.

There weren't many insect warriors on the Silver Plum Continent, but there were many types. These insect warriors had potential in all seven major elemental talents.

Perhaps because of the island, most of the insect warriors had potential in the water, wood, and wind elements.

Bai Zhi and Angelica traded ordinary Origin Power Foods with these insect warriors, while Fourleaf freed up its claws to chat with the two Mountain Masters.

“Snakeberry Mountain Master, how many islands are there in your Silver Plum Continent?”

Snakeberry Mountain Master: “There are countless islands in our Silver Plum Continent, with 21 islands over ten square kilometers.

There are more than 50 islands over five square kilometers.”

Fourleaf asked curiously, “Have you ever left the Silver Plum Continent?”

Snakeberry Mountain Master shook its antennae: “Kongxin and I once tried to fly away from this island group, but we easily lost our way in the vast sea. After trying several times, we almost died at sea due to a sea storm, so we haven't gone out since.”

“Then have you seen other insect warriors from outside your Silver Plum Continent?”

“No, the only insect warriors we can find are in the Silver Plum Continent.”

Snakeberry Mountain Master had nothing to do, so it told Fourleaf about the history of the Silver Plum Continent.

“I awakened to become an insect warrior on the Silver Plum Continent. Before me, there were two other insect warriors. They found me, who had just become an insect warrior, and brought me to live near the Silver Plum God-given Seed, and then provided me with Origin Power Foods to supply my growth.

They hunted seabirds that liked to eat insects, greatly increasing the probability of insect warriors being born on the Silver Plum Continent.

Later, we found Kongxin, and then more and more insect warriors appeared. Now we have 19 insect warriors in our Silver Plum Continent.”

Fourleaf asked curiously, “What about the two insect warriors before?”

Snakeberry Mountain Master said with some disappointment: “Silver Plum and Snow Plum had already entered their old age when they found me.

Although more and more insect warriors appeared later, they left all the Origin Power Foods to us. Decades ago, their lives came to an end.

Kongxin and I buried them on the high mountains of the Silver Plum Continent.”

“Oh,” This explained why they didn't have a large amount of Origin Power Food to trade, but were able to produce two Mountain Master-level insect warriors all at once.

Fourleaf changed the topic that made the insect sad: “Have you been to the deeper parts of the Silver Plum Continent?”

Snakeberry Mountain Master: “We've been there, but there's a lot of mist there, and it's easy to lose direction. It's very difficult to fly deeper. The other insect warriors aren't high enough level, and Kongxin and I don't have water-based talents, so we can't get in.

Perhaps when a Mountain Master-level insect warrior with water-based talents appears in the future, we can explore it.”

“A lot of mist, can't find the direction.” Fourleaf noted these pieces of information.

The insects were chatting, and several insect warriors who had traded before came over with silk bags.

“Snakeberry Mountain Master, Boss Fourleaf, we're here to trade a few Silver Plum Seeds for some God-given Origin Power Foods.”

“Yes,” Snakeberry Mountain Master gently nodded its antennae. It couldn't very well say that it could trade God-given Origin Power Foods and not let other insects trade, right?

Seeing Lin Ye bring the God-given Silver Plum Seeds, the insects of the Fourleaf Merchant Team were very happy.

Fourleaf didn't bother chatting with Snakeberry Mountain Master, and picked up the silk bag containing the God-given Origin Power Foods and asked, “How many Silver Plum Seeds did you bring? Which kinds of God-given Origin Power Foods do you need?”

“We have wood-based God-given Morning Glory Seeds, earth-based God-given Mangrove Fruit, and fire-based God-given Rapeseed Flower Seeds, God-given Long Beans, God-given Purple Eggplant, God-given Mesquite Beans, God-given Purple Pine Seeds—”

It rattled off more than a dozen kinds of God-given Origin Power Foods from various elements, and several insect warriors were a little overwhelmed.

Before they could finish trading, other insect warriors from the Silver Plum Continent arrived one after another, and soon the trading scene became lively again.

In the following time, Fourleaf stayed on Island 18, trading Origin Power Foods and God-given Silver Plum Seeds with various insect warriors.

These insect warriors didn't have many God-given Silver Plum Seeds in their claws, and even fewer that they could take out to trade. One took out five or six grains, and another took out ten or so grains. Each insect warrior could only buy about a thousand or two thousand Origin Stones worth of God-given Origin Power Foods.

Fortunately, there were enough of them, barely scraping together more than a hundred God-given Silver Plum Seeds. Adding the hundred grains sold by the two Mountain Masters, the number of God-given Silver Plum Seeds they obtained exceeded two hundred grains.

With this number, Fourleaf was already very satisfied. This year was just a trial run. Next year, they would bring more God-given Origin Power Foods.

It was a pity that Snakeberry Mountain Master was too stubborn, otherwise it would have wanted to buy up all the God-given Silver Plum Seeds.

After the trade was completed, the Fourleaf Merchant Team said goodbye to the insect warriors of the Silver Plum Continent and left. In recent years, they had been pursuing their own evolution. After the trade, they didn't even look for God-given Seeds, but just wanted to quickly return to the kingdom to eat Origin Power Foods and evolve.
