Astral Ants

Chapter 61 That's a Disguise
Baifan lives with Chihu and Wufan, and the three intelligent beings communicate with each other. Compared with Ghost Fan, it is obviously much more spiritual.

Looks smart, maybe, probably, really smart.

But it was the first time for Baifan to come into contact with the food trade of the original force. He felt cheated and wanted to bargain. However, he lacked knowledge and understood too little. Every time he raised an objection to the price, he was defeated by Long Bai with ingenious verbal reasons.

Long Bai regards Baifan as a serious matter.

Set the unit price, and finally count the number of original force food of each color, and add up the total price.

Long Bai: "The total is 1648 rough stones. If you round it up, I will count 1650 for you."

Long Bai: "On the ruling throne, there are only two kinds of goods, the ghost fan and the southern jujube."

Rice: "Ghost fan! You can try a few South Suan dates..."

Wu Fan climbed onto Bai Fan's head, and his tentacles kept waving, patting Bai Fan's head, looking a little anxious.

The red fox helped to ask: "Longbai Ant King, how do you sell your ant honey? It likes to eat little black rice."

Long Bai has already noticed that this is a cheerful and lively little soldier who is as gluttonous as Mo Lan, and looks a bit spoiled by the red fox.

Long Bai said with regret: "The ant honey brewed by Force Food needs a special container to preserve it, otherwise, if it is exposed to the air, the original force contained in it will be slowly lost. I'm sorry, we didn't bring that kind of container on this trip."

Mo Lan said: "Although your gourd can be used as a container, it cannot store the ant honey that contains the original force. You can only send some ordinary ant honey."

"Okay. Ordinary ant honey is also fine. Thank you." Chihu agreed to express his thanks, and urged:
"In the early summer next year, remember to bring a container that can store the original force ant honey, and remember to bring more original force ant honey that is good for the growth of Xiao Wufan. I will buy it!"

"No problem!" Long Bai readily agreed.

Bai Fan has been burying his head in the calculations, tangled for a while, and sighed: "Longbai Ant King, give me 60 ghost fans and 15 southern jujubes."

Huh!sold out.

Long Bai was secretly happy, and said calmly: "That's just right, the total price is 1650 rough stones."

Long Bai counted 60 ghost fans and put them into a gourd, and counted 15 wild jujube seeds and put them into another gourd.

At the same time to control the blue ants, I prepared a small half of gourd ant honey for it, and thoughtfully attached a multicolored spider silk rope, tied to the neck of the gourd, and tied with a buckle for easy grabbing.

Mo Lan landed with the gourd in her hand, and handed it to the little ball-wielding warrior.

Long Bai asked: "Baifan, you should have a lot of gourd containers like this? Can you give me a few?"

Rice: "5 for you."

Baifan explained: "I only have one gourd plant, which only produces a fixed 11 gourd fruits every year."

"Thank you."

Long Bai counted out 5 gourds and kept the other 5 in spider silk bags.

Mo Lan returned to the throne, carrying the spider silk bag, and handed it to Bai Fan.

The property and goods of both parties are settled, and the transaction is completed.

Long Bai: "I can also get all kinds of precious plant seeds. After each transaction, I can get two as a gift. Rice, do you need anything?"

Baifan: "Fanshu?"

Long Bai: "With all due respect, among the 42 species of rice tree recorded in the inheritance and memory, only the rice tree is worth cultivating, and the others are relatively mediocre. Since there is already a wild rice tree that is a god-given seed, there is no need to cultivate more .”

Long Bai emphasized: "I can get better plant seeds, which are excellent in strengthening effect, quality, and yield. Choosing this kind of top-level plants in the mainland as life seeds will greatly increase the income of the territory every year, which is more conducive to your future evolution. growing up."

Baifan: "Longcypress Ant King, I can choose the top-level plants you mentioned as my life-seed, but at the same time, I can also cultivate various ordinary rice trees on a large scale, hoping to give birth to another rice tree bestowed by the gods. Preferences It doesn't conflict with the choice of life seed, does it?"

"That's right! Clever!" Long Bai praised without hesitation.

Mo Lan: "You want us to help collect rice tree seeds? This is a very troublesome thing, and you have to charge a certain amount of money."

Baifan: "This is what it should be... how to calculate the rough stone?"

Mo Lan: "Do you want to collect rice trees of a specified variety? Or don't mind the variety, all varieties?"

White rice: "I want all kinds except white rice and black rice."

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "It's calculated according to the variety. For each variety, I will find you more than 10 seeds and charge you 50 rough stones..."

……

It took a long time to discuss many other transactions, chatting and exchanging some experience and technology in territorial management.

Rest overnight.

At dawn, Long Bai and Mo Lan bid farewell and left.

He watched as the ruling throne turned into a blue spot of light and disappeared among the western mountains.

Bai Fan looked away and asked, "Red Fox, what do you think of this Dragon Cypress Ant King?"

"Okay!" Wufan who stood on the gourd rushed to answer, waving his tentacles vigorously, and said vigorously: "Ant honey is delicious! I like Longbai!"

The red fox lightly raised its paw, patted Wufan's tentacles, and said calmly: "There is no malice. They are very shrewd. They come here to make profits."

The red fox reassuredly said: "We have a wild white rice seed bestowed by the gods, white rice, black rice, and with the trading of merchants, you will surely grow into mountain master-level ball-wielding fighters smoothly."

Bai Fan was a little sad, and said: "But they came too late..."

……

The howling wind whipped up waves in the forest and sea.

Mo Lan excitedly asked: "Long Bai, how much did we earn from this transaction?"

Long Bai: "Collect the rough stones at a price of 1650, add some more later, and sell them to Ghost Fan at a price of 2000 rough stones."

Mo Lan: "Add some?"

Long Bai: "Add 50 rough stone orchids and Jianlan seeds, make it whole, and enrich the category."

Mo Lan calculated for a while, and said: "That is to earn 300 rough stones? It's a bit small."

"few?"

Long Bai shook his tentacles, a little speechless, and asked, "Mo Lan, how many ghost fans can we get from the ghost fan for 2000 rough stones?"

Mo Lan: "The ghost fan is purchased with 18 rough stones, and 2000 rough stones are..."

Long Cypress: "111."

Mo Lan: "Let's sell it to Baifan and Red Fox at a unit price of 25 rough stones, that is..."

Long Bai: "2775 rough stones."

"Wow!"

Mo Lan exclaimed, suddenly realized.

Once you buy and sell, you earn money at both ends, and you trade back and forth, and the profits are quite considerable.

Mo Lan said happily: "Long Bai, we should name the place where Chihu and Baifan live."

Long Bai: "Baifan Mountain?"

Mo Lan: "It should be like this."

Molan paused, and said: "Longbai, the ant honey brewed by blue ants is very popular. We can buy more metal cans from the caravan, and simply mix various Force foods to make 'ant king honey' , sold in packs, sold in cans.”

Long Bai had this idea long ago.

Long Bai: "That needs to wait until the year after next, after seeing Bai Wei, and then make plans."

Mo Lan: "Why? Is there no quinoa?"

"no!"

Long Bai said: "The carapace of the Yandu snail is limited in what it can carry."

"The quinoa has a fixed trade relationship with many wealthy worms. The quinoa is very rich. Its carapace is full of rough stones and food from the original force. It is popular wherever it goes."

"Baiwei, on the contrary, is relatively poor, and the number of Zerg warriors who have established a fixed trading relationship is small and poor. Baiwei has very few raw stones and force food, so it made a 'metal can' that is heavy and takes up space. , but worthless things. Let the goods on your back armor look a lot, very rich."

Long Bai concluded: "This is a kind of camouflage, the purpose is to make oneself look very powerful, and it is easier to win the respect and trust of other worms, and then reach a stable trading relationship."

Mo Lan: "Ah..."

Don't you say that Bai Wei is stupid?

The flame spider caravan has enough tricks.

Mo Lan was speechless.
