Astral Ants

Chapter 22 Mo Lan's Proposal

A specialized chemical ant came out with a bamboo tube for humidifying the hatching room in its jaws.

Under Long Bai's guidance, Mo Lan picked up the kettle with both claws and poured the hot water inside into the bamboo tube.

"Molan, try it!"

Long Bai greeted and reminded: "Be careful, it's hot."

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

"Hot water!"

"Amazing!"

"Long Bai, you know too much!"

Mo Lan lowered her head and tried to lick it, and there was another long series of cheers and exclamations.

"Long Bai, what else? What other functions?"

"The other thing is to turn water into ice cubes. The method is similar, that is, you need to make water first, and then press the button with the snowflake pattern."

Long Bai guided.

Mo Lan poured out the hot water, closed the lid, refilled the original force to make water, and pressed the button to continue injecting the original force.

Open it again.

Inside the jug is a whole piece of ice. When the jug is turned over, a round ice cube about 1 cm thick falls out.

"When making water, the blue halo on the mouth of the pot indicates the amount of water produced. One circle of the halo means the pot is full, half a circle of the halo means the pot is half full, and so on..."

Long Bai explained in detail, paused, and asked, "Mo Lan, where did you find this 'Ice and Fire Kettle'? Did you find the wreckage of the starship?"

"no……"

Mo Lan picked up the water bottle filled with ice cubes and looked at it curiously, and said: "This time I didn't go straight to the south next to the divine power barrier, but searched in a zigzag line. Then I found a big river. I wondered where the river came from, so I went Flying against the current along the river bank, I found something shining in the grass lying on the river bank, went up to check it, and then dug it."

Long Bai: "..."

It was probably a single piece that was scattered when the starship fell to the ground from outside the sky.

Thousands of years have passed, the normal situation should be buried deep underground.

It may also be the reason for the lightness of the empty pot, and it is rare that it did not sink into the ground.

Mo Lan must have been blessed by the God of Nature, so she can always find good things.

"Long Bai, try the hot water too."

Mo Lan happily drank the hot water in the bamboo tube, picked up the ice and fire kettle, and poured a bamboo tube for Long Bai.

Long Bai took a sip, and said leisurely: "This pot has other magical uses. Mo Lan, think about it."

Mo Lan: "It's cold in winter, drink hot water; it's hot in summer, drink ice water."

"This……"

Long Bai: "This is a basic usage that can be imagined with tentacles, not a magical one. Use your brain to think about it."

Mo Lan: "I've thought about it, but I can't figure it out. Long Bai, just say it."

"Okay~"

Long Bai sorted out his words, and said: "Binghuo has a lot of kettles. Back then, I found several backpacks in warehouses. The number exceeded [-]. Each backpack is equipped with such a kettle."

"Smart insects quickly figured out how to make kettles with ice and fire, and then spread rapidly, attracting powerful and wealthy insect kings and lords to rush to buy them. Afterwards, they were passed down from generation to generation. To this day, most of them are still controlled by the insect king and the lord."

"As time goes by, things become more and more expensive. Usually, I am reluctant to use them casually. I am afraid that they will be damaged if they are used too many times. I only take them out and use them when entertaining distinguished guests."

"If it's hot summer, put in chopped delicious fruits of various colors, add a little honey, and then freeze. The ice cubes that come out are cool, sweet and delicious."

"Luoqin was made for me once, and I will never forget the taste."

"If it's spring, autumn, or cold winter, make hot water and add a few tea leaves or dried flowers that can retain the aroma. It's delicious to drink."

Long Bai said: "Once the worms are rich, they start to care about the taste of the food and pay attention to the appearance."

Mo Lan digested and understood for a while, and asked, "Long Bai, are we rich worms?"

Long Bai: "To be rich is to have food from the original force every day. There are so many food from the original force that we can't finish it. We sell it and exchange it for rough stones to store in the treasury. The stock is full."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan: "Then we are poor now?"

Long Bai shook his tentacles, noncommittal.

Mo Lan asked: "How much rough stone is the ice and fire kettle worth?"

Long Bai: "The outer coating is gone, so the price has to go down. Rare things are more expensive. Although ice and fire kettles are miraculous and functional, they are in large quantities and are not rare anymore. Therefore, they cannot be sold at a high price."

Long Bai: "It's probably worth seven or eight thousand rough stones."

"Seven or eight thousand rough stones? The annual orchid seeds produced by my fruity orchid seed are only worth 1540 rough stones?"

Mo Lan said happily: "That's a lot! If you sell it, you can replace it with original food..."

"If I sell it and replace it with force food, the time it takes me to advance from an intermediate fighter to an advanced fighter will be greatly reduced. You, Long Bai, can also quickly advance to the intermediate ant king."

"After I became a high-level warrior, the God-bestowed Seed of Guoxianglan was re-divided, and the yield and quality increased. In addition, the income of ordinary life-planting plants will also increase by continuously breeding and sowing life-seeding plants. Every year, the harvest of my territory will increase significantly .”

"The same goes for you, Longbai. When you become an intermediate ant queen, you can breed more and stronger worker ants and soldier ants. If you can gestate and sow the blue god-given seeds as soon as possible, the output of your territory will skyrocket."

"There are so many benefits!"

Long Bai: "???"

This is completely inconsistent with Mo Lan's usual style of acting.

Long Bai felt inconceivable when he heard this, Hu asked: "Mo Lan, are you going to sell the kettle made of ice and fire?"

Mo Lan: "I don't intend to..."

Mo Lan suggested: "Long Bai, don't dig the pool for now. Let's go to the depths of the continent together, and we will definitely find another one... If we find it, we will sell it! Let's share the harvest equally!"

"Forehead--"

Long Bai was speechless.

What a little elf you are.

I almost thought that you suddenly became enlightened, changed your sex, and became smarter.

Having said so much, it turns out that you are encouraging me to go treasure hunting with you.

Long Bai thought about it carefully, and Mo Lan's proposal was quite good.

First of all, although the specialized chemical ants are big, they are only semi-force life forms corresponding to the level of the junior ant king. dry.

Might as well be a good king and arrange for them to go back to the ant nest for vacation.

Secondly, all creatures of the Force need to rely on the Force environment to survive. Without the Force, they will be exhausted and weak, and in severe cases, they may die.On the side of Yunji Continent, in the depths, there is a vacuum of force, and most of them have not been searched.The Throne of Dominion can store a large amount of original force, and can assist in replenishing the original force, which can perfectly solve this problem.

Relying on the throne of dominance, Mo Lan and himself have the ability to explore the depths of Yunji Continent.

Seeing Long Bai's expression moved, Mo Lan understood it and said:
"Long Bai, you are already three years old, and you will start to enter old age in two years. You have to quickly evolve into an intermediate ant king."

"Also. Long Bai, didn't you say that in the future, when we evolve into advanced fighters, we will no longer be afraid of the attack of the ant kingdom in the neighboring Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent? We have to hurry up and be promoted to advanced fighters."

"Also. Longbai, it's what you said too. Although there is original force near the divine power barrier, the abundance is not enough, and it is impossible to give birth to the seed bestowed by the gods. It needs a place rich in original force like the Ten Thousand Races Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent. There is a slim chance. We dare not go to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent. Therefore, we can only look for it on the Yunji Continent. When we go out, we are not only looking for the creations of extraterrestrial civilizations, we can also find other places like the Mountain Territory, which are extremely rich in force. place……"

Usually, Long Bai speaks and Mo Lan listens.

It turns out that Mo Lan can talk so much, much more ruthlessly than Long Bai.

"Mo Lan, you're right, there's no rush for biogas digesters and pools."

Long Bai quickly agreed to Mo Lan's proposal, and said, "However, before we act, we have to do all kinds of preparations to ensure that the territory is safe."
