Astral Ants

Long Bai waited left and right, but before he could see Ang Tianlian, Alocasia, and Gansui, he finally arrived at the Quandong Sacred Tree.

Depending on the situation, the Quandong Sacred Tree's dominance over the insects in Citi Mountain is still there, and the quality of the Quandong Sacred Tree will definitely be fine.

Wang Baizi is selling Citigroup Hill, and Long Bai is more assured.

and,

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce is indeed short of money.

Settlement will be settled once every thousand years.

During the last settlement, wages and rewards were not paid out.

and,

Since entering the starry sky, King Cypress has spent most of its time not flowering or fruiting, which is really a waste.

Now it's good, Dawang Bai will always have work to do for tens of thousands of years to come.

...

...

[Time: 78th Era-158 Yuan-621 Years]

In the royal nest on the eleventh floor of the short-handled horn tree, the artist sitting on the throne slowly stood up and stood there blankly.

Far away in North District 7552, at the western end of the Citi Mountain Territory and the mountain range, Long Bai, who was communicating with the Linnan Sacred Tree to discuss the wood-type abilities, suddenly stopped and stared south.

at last,

The Phytolacca space is over 800 meters long on a side.

Phytolacca divine patterns transformed into 'scars'.

Long Bai was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and continued to discuss with the Linnan Sacred Tree.

Until two years later,

On the ultimate beast's star core, there was another 'mark' where the light yellow wood ability was condensed, before Long Bai said goodbye and left.

Flap your wings and fly back to Fanglan Mountain.

In the king's nest,
The artist shrank sharply, turned into iridescent water droplets, and disappeared into Long Bai's forehead.

"Duanjiao, let me tell you that I am about to break through evolution, please don't disturb me."

"Purple clover leaves and rainbow mulberry trees guard the entrance to the ant nest."

"Cyber, Spades, you go prepare some raw crystals in stock, just in case."

Long Bai gave a brief command, then landed on the throne of control, tugged on his tentacles, and immersed himself in sensing carefully.

Intellectual and brain abilities operate in sync.

Confirmed.

Long Bai cleared the space and started operating, controlling his consciousness and running his brain at overspeed, trying to fuse the Phytolacca divine pattern with the 'marks' in the crystal space.

The difficulty is not high,
The pokeweed divine pattern itself has the tendency to swallow up the 'marks' in the crystal space, and it can be successful with a little manipulation.

Lasted for eight days and eight nights,

Fusion completed.

On the purple-red technological star core, the 'marks' in the crystal space disappeared, and the 'marks' in the Phytolacca space condensed into a dark green leaf-like pattern only a centimeter in length.

Phytolacca space turned into a sphere!
With a diameter of about 1400 meters, it initially has the charm of world space and the symbol of 'huan'.

Long Bai thought slightly and tried to meditate.

No problem, you can continue to improve through meditation.

He locked his eyes on the world gem stored in the royal nest and started thinking again.

The ultimate ferocious beast divine pattern on his forehead burst out with white light, projecting the world gems stacked in the corner of the nest.

The gem disappeared and was successfully stored in Phytolacca space.

Long Bai kept turning his head, the ultimate beast on his forehead flickered, and various objects placed in the king's nest disappeared one after another.

no problem.

Long Bai didn't do much testing. He opened 30 genetic agents in a row, swallowed three million god-given force foods in one breath, and ate an ordinary refining bead. He placed two more beads next to the throne cushion and lay down again. Sit down, calm your mind, and brew silently.

One day later,

The force of nature began to converge towards the eleventh floor of the Short-Handed Horn Tree, constantly accelerating and intensifying.

Another half day later,
A Force vacuum appears and continues to grow.

After all, the secondary source point, the force vacuum range stops at a radius of about two hundred meters.

Xiangbai and Spades were worried and threw in the original crystal to press the force vacuum back to a radius of 100 meters.

It lasted for another two days and two nights, and the fluctuations in the Force subsided.

...

Long Bai stayed in the Half-Star Realm long enough and was fully prepared.

After two months of calm,
The second burst out, absorbing a massive amount of natural force.

It was quiet for another two months, and then it broke out for the third time...

On and off, after ten times, I calmed down completely and completed the breakthrough easily.

...

The eleventh-story royal nest of the short-stemmed horn tree.

Long Bai wakes up from his deep sleep.

The vague consciousness quickly awakens, and the super brain power operates automatically, scanning to calculate one's own situation.

Planetary realm!
Life span is 15 years, with remaining 12 years.

At the peak of the planetary realm of soul strength, the limit distance is 15 kilometers, and the limit sensing distance of the soul-fixing ability exceeds kilometers.

The diameter of Phytolacca space has increased to 2400 meters, and it has initially acquired the ability to contain the Force and contain Force life to survive in space for a long time.

Learn 14 new abilities independently...

Long Bai no longer cared much about his abilities. As his mind turned, the ultimate beast burst out with bright iridescent light on his forehead and disappeared in a flash.

The ultimate beast changed from a highly condensed point to a round spot with a diameter of five or six centimeters.

Long Bai opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowed the two crystal beads he had prepared in advance, and recovered his physical strength slightly. He then took out a gene agent, opened it, and swallowed it.

The majestic raw power enters the abdomen and melts, blends into the blood, flows to the forehead and is absorbed by the ultimate beast.

The ultimate beast absorbs the original energy, transforms it in a circle, feeds it back, blends into the blood, and then flows along the blood with its six limbs and hundreds of bones. Part of it is absorbed by the body and turned into the power to temper and transform the body, and part returns to the ultimate beast again...

Repeatedly,
In a minute or two, the original energy flows back and forth between the body and the star core seven or eight times, and all the energy contained in the god-given source food worth 10 original crystals is digested.

Long cypress feels refreshed.

Having evolved to the current level, he already has a bit of a 'god' illusion, and can already control the celestial phenomena of a planet at will.

With a wave of wings, the wind howls and the clouds gather.

Swinging its tentacles, lightning roared, and there were sudden rains and blizzards.

Lifting his paw, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the rivers flowed backwards.

The difference is strength.

At the first stage of the planetary realm, the strength is not strong enough, and the raw energy that the body and star core can store is not enough.

Long Bai buried his head in thought for a long time, raised his head, shifted his consciousness, and communicated with the throne of control.

Not surprisingly, the number of ant eggs produced in a single time increased to 31.

It still takes two days for a batch, which is already the limit and cannot be shortened.

Long Bai withdrew his mental power, got up and left the nest.

Xianglan Mountain gathered all the insects and held a grand banquet to celebrate.

...

He then called Yu Teng and piloted Poison Bean's first-class Star Spider, named 'Poison Bean', away from the Goat's Hoof star system for testing.

The star navigation capabilities given by the technological star core have been comprehensively improved. Taken together, the speed has doubled, exceeding 7 times the speed of light.

...

Time is running out,

Long Bai began to use God-given force food quickly and in large quantities, and evolved steadily every 20 years.

The strength is rising step by step.

In one go, 180 years later, he successfully evolved into the 9th stage of the planetary realm.

Pause and repair for 100 years,
[Time: 78th Era-158 Yuan-905 Years]

Long Bai is sleeping and evolving again.

...

Wake up from deep sleep.

After a brief period of weakness and confusion, I regained my strength.

Super brain power operates automatically.

Stellar realm!
The body is nearly immortal, blessed by the cast soul, and has a lifespan of more than 60 years. The remaining lifespan is about 60 years, which is too far away to be accurately estimated.

Soul strength is around the 4th age of the star realm, and the limit distance is 37 kilometers. The limit sensing distance of reconnaissance abilities such as fixed soul and sea soul exceeds kilometers.

The diameter of Phytolacca space has increased to 4800 meters, and the gray-white space crystal wall can completely block the Force and form a boundary of its own. World space, the formed 'huan'.

Due to the rush of the planetary realm stage, I only learned 10 new abilities, one for each of the ten series of talents...

After Long Bai reflected on himself, the ultimate beast divine mark on his forehead shone slightly.

The ultimate beast turned into a large round spot with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters, like a rainbow sun.

Simply eat to recover and take out two genetic agents to try.

Another burst of realization,
At the level of the star realm, the original power stored in the body and star core is as vast as the sea, and it has the meaning of a 'star' that is 'endless and inexhaustible'.

Long Bai converged his consciousness, deflected the communication control throne, and increased the number of ant eggs produced to 34.

According to the rules, the 7-year-old star realm should have 36 stars, one batch every two days, with an average daily output of 18 stars, and 6570 stars per year.

According to calculations based on intelligence and brain power, the development cycle of specialized ants in the Star Realm from egg to adult is extended to 15 to 18 years. During the development process, a large amount of force is required. If it is a zero-level source point, the force is insufficient and the cultivation period will be extended.

...

Simply confirm, get up and leave the nest.

As usual, all the insects in Xianglan Mountain are summoned to celebrate with a banquet.

Then I found Yuto,

Driving the 'Poisonous Bean' star spider, go to the deep space test far away from the star system of the Sheep's Hoof...

...

...

[Time: 78th Era-158 Yuan-922 Years]

Brilliant colorful light shines, Mo Lan controls the glorious throne, shuttles through the space, and appears directly above the short-handled horn tree.

Hula~
Thousands of crystal beads shrank, sinking into the forehead and eventually Mo Lan disappeared.

Mo Lan's figure flashed and appeared directly on the eleventh floor of the royal nest.

In the king's nest, metal tubes of genetic agents and metal cans of royal honey were scattered randomly, and Long Bai was focusing on digesting the original power.

"Leader Longbai!"

"Leader Molan!"

"Wow!"

"Is it in the stellar realm?"

Mo Lan circled Long Bai, looked around, and asked with some concern: "The evolution is so rapid, won't it leave any hidden dangers?"

"My star core is strong enough and there are no hidden dangers."

Long Bai said: "I just want to spend more time and energy in the Star Realm."

What is lacking in the planetary realm, you will have to spend five times the time and energy to make up for it in the stellar realm.

but,

It’s definitely worth it to see the possible benefits compared to the Red Triton Star.

"The lifespan of the stellar realm is long. I plan to stay stuck in the seventh stage of the stellar realm and learn from old bugs like Gansui and Alocasia. I will be stuck for hundreds of thousands of years and then consider a breakthrough."

Seeing that Mo Lan was worried, Long Bai added briefly, and then said: "I will set off as soon as possible and return as soon as possible. Mo Lan, now that our scale has grown and the number of soldiers under our command has increased, management is a problem. You stay, Guarding Xianglan Mountain."

"Hei Hua has traveled far away. At the Bo Shuwan Chamber of Commerce, you should also be careful. You don't have to direct the work, just keep an eye on it. In case, there is a dispute between the stewards and the kings under the command of the different queen ants and queen bees. If conflicts arise, adjust them in a timely manner to prevent them from escalating into violent conflicts.”

"clear--"

Mo Lan agreed.

Go to the treasure planet to dig for treasures and make a fortune. Such a happy thing, you can't live without yourself.

Not very willingly.

Mo Lan's main focus was still on Long Bai's promotion to the star realm, and asked:

"Long Bai, how is your purple technological star core and its star navigation ability at the stellar level?"

"15 times the speed of light!"

"Where's Phytoland Space?"

"With a diameter of 4800 meters, it has completely evolved into an independent space."

"That's equivalent to a second-level starship loaded with 'Huan'! It can break away from the star network and conduct short- and medium-range interstellar voyages."

"That's right!"

Mo Lan's tentacles swayed from side to side, eager to try, and said: "Let me see your Phytolacca space!"

Long Bai thought for a while, tapped his tentacles, and unleashed a bit of original energy, first sealing Mo Lan's Phytolacca space. Then, iridescent water droplets on his forehead floated out from the round star core, rapidly expanded and enlarged, and turned into a half-ant artist.

A hatch opened in the abdomen.

Mo Lan understood what Long Bai meant and jumped out of the way first to enter the cabin.

Long Bai followed closely behind.

The hatch squirmed shut.

The half-ant-shaped artist spans space and teleports 37,000 meters into the air. Continuously crossing space, within a few breaths, he left the living planet and entered space.

Flashing continuously, far away from the star system.

The purple-red technology star core always reserves space energy.

The universal compass is activated, using the stars of the Sheep's Hoof star system as anchor points, sailing in the opposite direction and jumping through space.

The hatch opens.

Mo Lan and Long Bai drifted out.

Looking around, he was suddenly in the deep dark space of the universe.

"Long Bai, where is the Sheep's Hoof star system?"

Mo Lan asked.

"there!"

Long Bai waved his tentacles to guide the direction.

Looking around, he saw a bright spot of light in the endless darkness.

Mo Lan also activated his universal compass ability to sense, and there were indeed familiar gravitational fluctuations of stars.

"How far?"

Mo Lan asked.

"About 0.8 light-years."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan was envious.

This is the Purple Red Technology Star Core.

At the same evolutionary level, your ordinary star core has only half the effect.

"Where's Phytoland Space?"

Mo Lan asked.

Long Bai didn't say much. With a thought, the half-ant artist turned around, opened the vertical pupils on his forehead, locked onto Long Bai and Mo Lan, and cast a beam of white light over them.

Space ripples.

In an instant, Long Bai and Mo Lan were floating in a spherical space.

The gray-white crystalline space wall exudes a weak gray-white halo.

The whole space was gray and gloomy.

Thin air.

Weak force.

It was empty, with only a few scattered masses of matter floating around: technological star cores, world gems, gene agents, queen honey, and a dozen white or blue beads for replenishing physical energy.

Mo Lan felt envious again and asked, "Ant, is there air leakage in your space? Why is the air so thin?"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "I often move across planets in the star system. There is too much material in space, so it is inconvenient to ride on a star spider. A slightly more sensitive original spider warrior can detect abnormal energy consumption."

"Hmm. Oh. Yes."

Mo Lan asked: "When are you leaving?"

Long Bai: "Seventh age of the Star Realm. Eight hundred years later? I still have time, so I can give you some advice."

"Heh~heh~"

Mo Lan asked again: "Where is the strength of the star realm? Show it to you?"

Long Bai thought for a moment, then two groups of white lights flashed, taking Mo Lan out of the world space and suspended above the half-ant artist.

The half-ant artist suddenly shrank and turned into a ball of water, expanded, exploded, re-condensed and shaped, and turned into a giant cloud ant.

On Long Bai, water, fire, wind, and thunder can continue to explode.

The giant ant expanded rapidly and quickly turned into a super-giant ant with a wingspan of twenty to thirty kilometers and spread across the area.

The clouds and mist rolled.

Thunder light flows.

The giant ant flapped its wings, and in an instant, thousands of five-color lightning burst out, lighting up the dark sky.

The giant ant opened its mouth, a thousand meters in diameter, and spewed out a pillar of magma-like fire, which hit a hundred kilometers away. It was burned with intense heat and the space was turbulent.

The giant ant flapped its wings, turned over, and turned into a transparent gaseous state. When it waved its wings again, it was transformed by countless airflows. It was undetectable, and an unstoppable aura shot out and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

The giant ants turned over and shrank, turning into clouds and mist. The cold air was thick, and the snow-white mist rose and filled the air. They turned into countless tiny gaseous flying ants, lingering and circling.

The giant ant has a little tentacle.

The flying ants transformed by the mist rushed out.

"Chief Mo Lan, how are you?"

"..."

"That's it?"

Mo Lan commented objectively: "It's so weak~"

"……That is."

"Of course it can't be compared to our second king."

With Long Bai's thought, the giant ant shrank sharply, transformed, and transformed into a half-ant artist again. It began to transform the original energy of space and accumulate strength for the space jump.

Long Bai and Mo Lan returned to the belly cabin.

"Second King, how many God-given seeds have you harvested in the past six hundred years?"

"Two."

"Only two? Then you..."

Just as Long Bai was about to attack, Mo Lan raised his claws to stop him and suppress him.

Mo Lan put on a serious tone and said: "Lin Hai, who is in charge of Nebula Cranberry, has produced another purple kiwi god-given seed. This is the second top-level God-given seed cultivated by Nebula Cranberry."

Purple fruit kiwi fruit God-given seeds?
Long Bai said happily: "Qing Ma and Hong Ma must be very happy, right?"

"They weren't trained by them, so why are they so happy?"

Mo Lan said: "There is a little problem. Nebula Cranberry has four subordinates, working with two million worker bees. How to calculate the rewarded Chamber of Commerce contribution points? Will they all be counted on Nebula Cranberry? Then it can be promoted directly It’s a level 11 core member, but what about its subordinate Prince Zuo?”

Long Bai: "All the ant queens and queen bees who join our Pandan Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as a team, and the ant queen and queen bee are the captains in charge. Rewards and contribution points are distributed to the captain, and then the captain decides. distribute."

Mo Lan: "The ant queen and bee queen must have calculated all the points contributed by the chamber of commerce to themselves and quickly upgraded their positions in the chamber of commerce. Isn't that unfair to other Zerg warriors?"

In the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the biggest benefit of job upgrade is that level 11 core members can use Wang Baizi.

Under the current system, the queen bee and ant queen do have too great an advantage.

Zuowang protects the queen bee and ant king, and can achieve the conditions quite easily.

Long Bai had already considered this issue.

If you think of a way, there is a way.

but,

In the cosmic environment, the probability of the birth of an ant queen and a queen bee is extremely low. Currently, including Nebula Vaccinium, only two queen bees and two ant queens have been born in the blue star system.

The number is small and the problem is not too big. There is no need to formulate new regulations for the queen ants and queen bees.

Long Bai waved his tentacles nonchalantly and said: "If there are more ant queens and queen bees in the future, let's think about it again. My idea is to rent a second zero-level source point in the future and run it exclusively by the ant queens and queen bees.

Then add restrictions to them. For example, the position level difference between the Queen Ant Queen and her subordinate King Zuo cannot exceed 3 levels. If the ant queen wants to advance to level 11, her subordinate king must reach level 8. In this way, it can not only limit the position level improvement of the ant queen and queen bee chambers, but also prevent them from randomly adding subordinate kings. "

"Um--"

Mo Lan solemnly moved his tentacles and said, "That's what I mean too..."

Mo Lan suddenly raised his head and asked: "Lease the second zero-level source point? When will the owed bonuses and wages be paid off? It can't be delayed for too long, right? The worm below is about to jump back!"

"I know. I sold Wang Baizi to Citigroup and received a sum of raw crystals, so I took them out first for emergencies."

Long Bai asked: "Only two God-given seeds were harvested in this cycle? One is a purple-fruited kiwi fruit, and where is the other one?"

Mo Lan: "The mutated paper mulberry tree, whose original energy has turned into an ordinary life system, is numbered mulberry tree No. 42, the female plant seed..."

...

...

After 21 days, the half-ant artist completed the energy storage and jumped back to the Goat Star System.

At the same time, Jue Bai also organized the new little warriors to handle the affairs of the new chamber of commerce.

After a simple banquet to celebrate,

Long Bai summoned juniper, cedar, spade, and black locust to settle accounts together.

The second ten thousand years of the blue star system are coming to an end.

Calculate the general ledger.

A total of 39 God-given seeds were harvested.

Compared with the previous ten thousand years, the quantity has not improved much, but overall, the quality has gone up to a higher level.

There are 8 top-grade god-given seeds, including black lotus seeds, worth approximately 500 billion.

It is equivalent to directly collecting the rent from the source point.

Five double-excellent and high-quality God-given seeds are worth approximately 12 billion.

There are generally 12 God-given seeds, worth about 180 billion.

There are also 6 God-given trees of herbs, herbaceous vines, and weak shrubs worth less than 7 million, worth about 40 billion. Outstanding little warriors were selected and arranged for use.

The total revenue is 1140 billion yuan.

...

Chamber of Commerce expenses:

Leasing source points costs 500 billion.

The total cost for formal members and temporary employees, basic salary, bonuses, land lease for planting seeds, and other odds and ends is as high as 620 billion.

Operating the azure star system costs as much as 1120 billion raw crystals.

...

The amount of income and expenses is so high that it scares insects to death.

but,

After calculating the income and expenditure, we only made 20 billion.

Not so lucky.

...

The good news is that the wild god-given seeds cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce are gradually generating considerable profits.

The wild god-given seeds cultivated in the last ten thousand years have successively broken through and been promoted to the semi-star realm.

Among them, the God-given seed of the Soul-Constructing Tree has the highest income, exceeding 3.5 raw crystals/year; followed by the God-given seed of Manifest Veins and Different Wings, with an income of up to 1.5 raw crystals/year, the top of the top God-given seeds...

Currently, there are 55 wild god-given seeds belonging to the public assets of the Pandan Chamber of Commerce, with an annual income of 16.

After the next ten thousand years, and the next ten thousand years, things will gradually get better.

It’s definitely still early to get back the money, and it’s now supported by the trade in queen honey and genetic agents.

...

Cooperating with the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, the average annual dividend income from the trade of royal honey and genetic agents is as high as 1000 million to 1100 million. The trade volume is large and the fluctuations are also large.

From this income, the official members of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will be divided into dividends based on their shares. Long Bai and Mo Lan can get about 45 to 50.

...

Long Bai and Mo Lan's 40 wild god-given seeds have all broken through to the evolved half-star realm, earning 32 raw crystals every year.

Not counting Dawangbai,
Long Bai and Mo Lan's territory income reached 312 million raw crystals.

In total,

The average annual income of Longbai and Molan is as high as 360 million yuan.

When Wang Baizi sells Citi Hill, the annual income of Da Wang Bai is 600 million. If you include the income of Da Wang Bai, it is sky-high.

...

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce has difficulty with its capital turnover.

Part of the proceeds from Long Bai and Mo Lan were used for the evolution and growth of themselves and their subordinate King Zuo, and part was lent to the Chamber of Commerce for emergency purposes.

In the next ten thousand years, the 500 billion required to renew the lease of the blue star system has been collected.

...

Settle the accounts.

Long Cypress continues to live deep in the short-stemmed horn tree's royal nest, ingesting God-given force food at a rate of 360 million per year.

Each stage of evolution in the stellar realm requires up to 3.6 million god-given force foods.

Cypress evolves steadily at a rate of one age per century.

PS: I went back and read yesterday’s chapter. The unreasonable thing is that the number of Wang Baizi sold to Citi Mountain is too large, and Long Bai did not take the initiative in bargaining. It has been revised and changed to temporarily only sell to the big leaders and leaders of Citi Mountain. .

As for Wang Baizi’s pricing, it is already very high.

The concept of cosmic time is different. Multiplying it by 100 times can almost be compared with reality.

For example, the salary Longbai pays to the young warriors is 1000 raw crystals per year, multiplied by one hundred times, which corresponds to our annual salary of 10. The salary Longbai pays to his workers is considered a high salary.

The top-tier god-given seeds earn an annual income of 1 to 1.5, which is equivalent to an annual income of one million.

The divine grade god-given seed is at the level of tens of millions.

The annual income of the magic product of the law is measured in hundreds of millions.

From bottom to top, maintain a tenfold increase rule.

Dawangbai's annual salary is 6 million, which is a bit low compared to its rarity. But if it were written into billions or tens of billions, the economy would collapse.

When King Cypress evolved to the Half-Star Realm, there was an opportunity for adjustment, which was to extend the flowering and fruiting cycle and increase the unit price to several billion each. This would make the item appear more expensive, but I didn't pay attention at the time, and now it's too late to make changes. (End of chapter)
