Astral Ants

Chapter 138 Bai Wei With Nothing
Ten Thousand Races Continent, Southeast Mountainous Area, Jade Peach Kingdom.

Bai Wei's back armor was empty, and her steps were heavy, walking on the winding mountain road.

At the foot of the mountain, the peach forest.

Huang Tao raised her head.

"Lord Baiwei Mountain!" Hongtao raised her head, exclaimed delightedly, dropped the tool in her claws, rushed out, and then realized something was wrong.

"Master Baiwei? Where's your cargo?"

"you--"

"Could it be robbed by the hateful orc?"

"……no."

Bai Wei was frustrated and asked, "Heart, do you believe that I can earn rough stones?"

Heart said firmly: "Believe it!"

Bai Wei walked into the garden without saying a word, and asked, "Huang Tao, do you believe that I can get rich?"

"... Letter!" Huang Tao asked worriedly, "Bai Wei, what's the matter? What happened?"

Bai Wei untied the spider silk bag on the carapace, took out a metal can, placed it in front of Huang Tao, opened the lid, revealing the golden yellow honey syrup exuding the breath of the original force inside.

"Huangtao, try it."

"what is this?"

"...Force Honey."

"Honey? This is a fruity scent. The original force honey doesn't have such a strong original force scent."

"Don't worry about it, just try it."

Huang Tao poked out her forefoot, dipped a little bit to taste it.

"A little honey. But not honey."

"tasty."

"A fusion of many kinds of force food?"

Bai Wei: "Yes. The mutated ability of the mutated water queen bee can refine and mix fruits and Force foods to make this Force honey."

Bai Wei asked: "I buy 800 rough stones/can, and sell 1000 rough stones/can. Huangtao, do you think you can earn rough stones?"

Hearts rushed to answer: "Each can earn 200 rough stones!"

Huang Tao didn't answer Bai Wei's question, but asked Chi: "Where did this come from?"

Bai Wei: "That little ant king."

Huang Tao: "Stored like this, the original force will slowly dissipate, right?"

Bai Wei: "It can be stored for a little more than a year."

Huang Tao: "What happened?"

Bai Wei: "Luoqian said that the risk is too great, it thinks that I will lose all my money, so it does not agree with me to do this business."

Huang Tao: "Then your goods..."

Bai Wei: "We had a fight."

Huang Tao: "Arguing?"

Bai Wei: "We separated."

Bai Wei said sadly: "As soon as we settled the accounts, all my goods were gone. I still owe Luoqin 17 rough stones. I have been losing money, and before I knew it, I lost all the huge wealth left to me by Tianming. A loss of 5000 rough stones..."

Bai Wei: "Huang Tao, am I too stupid and useless?"

Huang Tao: "..."

Heart: "!!!"

I only heard Huang Tao say that Baiwei Youshang has been losing money, but she never expected that she would lose so much!
How did you lose so much?

The elated Hongtao tactfully shrank behind Huangtao.

Huang Tao choked for a long time, and comforted her: "Bai Wei, don't be discouraged, you are not losing all these rough stones, you spent a lot to help me evolve the Mountain Lord, and you also consumed a lot to grow and evolve yourself."

Bai Wei: "I've always lived frugally."

Bai Wei said dejectedly: "I've always thought that when I earn the rough stone, I must reward myself well. But after so many years, I'm only the third-year-old mountain master."

Huang Tao said without conscience: "I think that your losses are within the acceptable range. It's because Luo Li is too stingy."

"Yes Yes……"

Hearts echoed cautiously.

Bai Wei didn't speak.

On the way here, I have scolded Luochen ten thousand times in my heart.

But calm down and think about it, after all these years, if Luo Li hadn't taken care of her, he would have collapsed a long time ago... In fact, he had gone bankrupt once.

Huang Tao wanted to change the topic and talk about something happy, but seeing Bai Wei's current situation, it seemed that there was nothing happy to talk about, and it was a tragic topic that could not be avoided.

"Bai Wei, have you separated from Luo Li?"

"Yes."

"Then... the little flame spider of your caravan..."

"Ludou is a 7th-year-old high-level flame spider warrior, and the grass dragon is also a 2-year-old high-level fighter. They are going to try to travel independently."

Huang Tao: "Oh——"

Bai Wei said dejectedly: "But as an elder, I have nothing, and I can't give them anything."

Huang Tao: "..."

Huang Tao thought and thought, but couldn't think of how to comfort the other party, and was very worried.

Flame spiders cannot sow life seeds, manage territories, or harvest force food.

Flame spiders can only obtain the force food needed for growth and evolution through trading.

Looking at Bai Wei's empty back armor, now she doesn't even have the last, which is not much trading capital.

"Bai Wei, what will you do in the future?"

"What else can I do?"

"What do you plan to do?"

"I'm thinking."

Huang Tao pointed to the metal pot on the ground and asked, "Is this made by the ant king from Yunji Continent?"

Bai Wei: "Yes. I think it can be sold and make a fortune, but Luo Li doesn't think so."

Bai Wei said firmly: "I still think this is a chance to stand up!"

Huang Tao: "..."

Huang Tao choked and was speechless.

Huang Tao is not a flame spider, and she doesn't know much about trading, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

Hearts tiptoed forward, dipped the tentacles in the pot with some Force Ant Honey, held the tentacles with their forefoot, tasted it, and said, "It's delicious!"

Huang Tao pondered, analyzed, and said, "But one year's storage time is really too short. It takes half a year to transport it back from the Wanguo Continent, so there is only half a year's sales time left. Small quantities of this kind of goods are fine. If there are too many, if you can't sell them in time, then..."

Perhaps, quinoa is right.

Huang Tao didn't dare to say.

Bai Wei helped to add: "Even if it is sold, if it is not eaten in time, there will be quality problems."

You also know that the problem is serious?Huang Tao vigorously tapped the tentacles to agree.

The heart poked out two tentacles, dipped in the ant honey, held it and licked it, made a baji baji sound, couldn't help but praised:
"It's delicious!"

"Hearts! It's business to discuss! You just know how to eat." Huang Tao scolded.

"I'll try..."

Heart quickly licked the tentacles clean, and said seriously: "Because of the short storage time, there is a risk in this 'Force Honey' transaction, right?"

Bai Wei and Huang Tao ignored it.

Heart: "Isn't it enough to find a way to extend the storage time?"

Bai Wei: "I'm thinking about it too."

Heart: "Why is there only a one-year storage period?"

Huang Tao: "Because there is a gap between the jar and the lid, the force will be lost along the gap. Once the loss of force exceeds a certain amount, it will lead to the deterioration of the original force ant honey in the jar, and the quality will drop."

Heart: "Where's the threaded jar you made last year?"

Huang Tao: "I'm afraid it won't work either. If the jar and the lid can be separated, there must be a gap. As long as there is a gap, no matter how small, the original force will definitely be lost."

Entering the technical discussion session, Bai Wei calmed down and asked, "Yellow Tao, Hongtao, help us find a way together...think of a way that can perfectly combine the jar and the lid, and seal the force."

Huang Tao: "I can activate the metal ability to seal it, but the lid cannot be opened."

Heart: "I have a way!"

Huang Tao was annoyed: "Heart, go and play!"

Bai Wei asked: "Heart, what can I do?"

Heart peach: "Master Baiwei, when I was very young, didn't you give me a kind of royal jelly? That can only be preserved in clay pots, and the force will not be lost."

Bai Wei: "Yes. It can only be brewed by a very small number of bees with the water system ability, and it is brewed by collecting the pollen and nectar of the seeds bestowed by the gods. Royal jelly is as stable as the original stone, and it will not deteriorate after 1 years of storage. .”

Huang Tao suddenly understood the meaning of the heart, tapped the tentacles, pointed to the metal can, and said, "Spread a layer of royal jelly on the surface, and the original force can be sealed."

After Huang Tao finished speaking, she continued, "But the cost would be too high, right? Bai Wei, I remember the small bottle of royal honey last time, you said it cost 3000 rough stones?"

Bai Wei, who was just a little bit happier, was disappointed again, and sighed: "Yes, it is one of the most delicious and expensive force foods in the mainland. If it is packaged with royal jelly, the cost will double. Originally 1000/can of force honey, at least It has to be sold for 2000 rough stones, so no one would want to buy it."

Royal jelly is only rare and delicious, and has no special strengthening effect. The queen bee who brews royal jelly may not be willing to eat it himself.

This is a luxury that very few rich people are willing to buy, and it is specially used to entertain distinguished guests and show their own strength, financial resources, and status.

"This method won't work. Doing so will only lead to worse losses." Huang Tao shook the tentacles vigorously, denying the proposal.

"You are all wrong!"

The heart tentacles pointed to the mouth of the metal can, and said: "I mean, put a little royal jelly on the mouth of the metal can with thread design, and then twist it repeatedly to seal the gap between the mouth and the lid with royal jelly." thread gap."

Heart asked: "That way, only a small amount is enough?"

Huangtao: "!!!"

Yellow peach tentacles are vertical.

Bai Wei jumped, "That's right!"

An ingenious solution that is not difficult to understand.

After thinking about it for a while, it seems feasible.

Bai Wei jumped up happily.

One word wakes up the worm in the dream, clears the fog and sees the colorful clouds.

"Little Hongtao, you are really an extremely clever praying mantis!"

"I'll make a fortune later, so I won't treat you badly!"

"No, I can get you rich together! And you, Huang Tao!"

Hearts cheered and said, "Good! Good! Thank you, Lord Baiwei. You will definitely make a fortune this time!"

Huang Tao: "..."

Huang Tao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
