Astral Ants

The Baiwei Chamber of Commerce is indeed in financial difficulty, mainly because of the huge investment in the cooperative trade of royal nectar and genetic agents.

The Tiemu star system has a total of 6 interstellar trade routes under its jurisdiction. For each trade route, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce needs to deploy a Tianqing 42 Star Spider and four warriors.

Star Spider is placing orders with Qiye, and even after the discount it still costs 220 billion per ship.

Bai Wei trained her Flame Spider warriors according to the highest standards. It would cost 5 million just to find Long Bai to buy Wang Baizi. In addition to various other expenses in the process of evolution and growth, each warrior would cost 10 billion.

The trade of royal jelly and genetic agents has been expanded in the star fields under the jurisdiction of the Tiemu star system, and the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce has invested a total of approximately 1600 billion.

Previously, they had purchased five Azure 5 Star Spiders and one Universe 42 Star Spider in the Bauhinia star system, and they already owed a lot of debts.

The old debt has not been paid off yet, and a new debt has come.

From entering the Baijing Galaxy to the present, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce has been on the road of repaying its debts.

Of course, for the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce, whose main business is interstellar trade, star spiders are indispensable fixed assets.

With 11 Tianqing 42 Star Spiders and 1 Huanyu 43 Star Spider, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce has accumulated a considerable foundation.

...

...

When the star systems of Susa II and Susa III were being reclaimed, Longbai also went to help.

Bai Wei calculated her time and rented the Yutao star system only after the cultivation of the Xuanling II and Xuanling III star systems.

Moreover, it is only 187 light-years away from the Ocean Blue star system and the planet lacks water.

Longbai used a leader-class starship to transport 900 million specialized blue soldiers in three trips, and then he could start making water with all his strength.

...

Bai Wei is a traveling merchant in the starry sky. She has a wide range of contacts and knows many Zerg people. She gathered more than 35,000 Zerg warriors in one go.

Construction on seven planets started simultaneously and reclamation work was in full swing.

Jade Peach Star System, Yellow Peach Star.

Zi controlled the Star Spider, drilled out of the star web, and stopped at the square.

Using the abilities of the Sun and Moon, Long Bai was the first to sense the depths of the ant nest, and his figure flickered and came over.

"Captain Longbai! Long time no see! Did you miss me?"

"Leader Longbai!"

"I've met the leader Long Bai!"

The black orchid, red maple and other insects waved their antennae to greet them.

"Second King! Is he already in the 7th stage of the Stellar Realm?"

"Red Maple? How come you are only 5 years old?"

This trash Zi is only at the first stage of the Stellar Realm.

Longbai glanced at the insects and finally stopped at the red maple.

"Hongfeng, what's wrong with you? Since you have been promoted to the Star Realm, why don't you quickly evolve to the 7th stage?"

"No hurry. I will first consolidate the 'star core' and strengthen my abilities. Once I comprehend the original energy, it won't be too late to evolve."

"So how's your ability training going? Are you ready to participate in the Daylight Sea Arena?"

"It's hard to say. Longbai Ant King, I can only say that I will do my best!"

"All right--"

Long Bai comforted him, "Don't feel any pressure. If you can't make it this time, there will be a second chance in 80,000 years. If you can't make it to the Star Realm, you can still have another chance in the Su Realm. The warriors in the first echelon of combat power have been screened out at the Star Realm level. Those who participate at the Su Realm level are all in the second echelon of combat power, so it will be much easier."

"If the Sujing realm is not enough, then we can only say that our Zerg civilization is worthy of being the overlord of the universe in the past, present, and future. There are too many warriors with extraordinary individual combat power."

Red Maple: “…Understood!”

All the insects turned their heads in unison.

Bai Wei noticed the movement and came running from the direction of the lake. There was a little golden mantis warrior hanging behind her, jumping around and chasing her desperately.

"what--"

Molan was surprised.

"President Bai Wei! The little golden mantis warrior finally appeared! Where did he come from?"

"Where else could it come from? Huang Tao Mountain. Huang Tao has been breeding ordinary golden mantises. From the mother planet to the Qiming star system, and then to the Bauhinia star system, until now, finally a little one like this has appeared."

"Oh--"

"It's not easy!"

Molan deeply empathizes.

In the natural pantheon, the Metal Mantis community is on the brink of extinction for two reasons: first, ordinary little golden mantises are sensitive to the climate and environment, making it difficult for the community to reproduce and survive; second, the probability of giving birth to little warriors seems to be lower than that of other communities.

Yellow peach, red peach, green peach, this is the fourth one...

It was born not long ago and seems to have just evolved to the mountain master level not long ago.

Molan gathered her spiritual power and asked kindly, "Little guy, what's your name?"

The little warrior Jin Mantis said proudly: "Jade Peach!"

Yutao star system?
"Oh……"

Molan was suddenly speechless.

Bai Wei reminded, "This is the leader of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, Molan. Yutao, say hello quickly."

Yu Tao raised her head and said, "Meeting Chief Mo Lan!"

"it is good--"

"You are welcome."

Molan introduced: "This is the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Legion of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the purple longhorn beetle warrior, Hongfeng. This is the flash butterfly warrior, Zi..."

Molan solemnly introduced the little golden mantis to everyone.

Then enter the chat mode.

"President Bai Wei, the reclamation work of the Yutao star system has just begun?"

"That's about right. We only started to become self-sufficient in food 43 years ago."

Bai Wei asked, "Molan, you've been gone for nearly ten thousand years, right? Where have you been?"

"Hey~ We didn't go anywhere. We spent most of our time at the poles of the planet waiting for the harvest of the divine fruit. We were either dormant or practicing our abilities. It was pretty boring."

Mo Lan said seriously, a bright spot flashed on her forehead, and a knowledge compass flew out, hovering in front of Bai Wei, and said:
"President Bai Wei, this is the information about the divine fruits of the Baijing Galaxy that we collected during this trip. When you evolve star systems in the future, you can consider the situation and make your own choices."

"Okay! Thank you!"

Bai Wei took it and read the information.

Long Bai asked at the right time:

"Second King, how is the effect of your practice this time?"

"Don't worry! I'm invincible in the Star Realm!"

"Invincible?"

"I can't think of any fighter stronger than me!"

"..."

"The two kings are mighty!"

Long Bai said happily: "That's great. It just so happens that, Molan, you are very capable, so stay and help President Bai Wei to cultivate the planet."

Hearing this, Bai Wei said bluntly: "Then I would like to thank Mo Lan again. Hong Feng, Lu Xin, Zi, Cai Gang, the four of you will also help?"

"Ok?"

"Ha~ha~"

"Long Bai, President Bai Wei, you two are so stupid. I was just joking, but you took it seriously."

Mo Lan said seriously: "The starry sky is so big, and there are so many Zerg warriors. Who dares to say that he is invincible? No one is invincible."

"The laws of the universe are profound and obscure, and the ocean of the Force is vast and boundless. I am still far from understanding them. Far from it."

"I came back this time mainly to let everyone know that I am safe and to learn about the development progress of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce."

"Juniper, Cedar, and Spade have reported everything to me in detail. Very good! I feel relieved that everything is going well."

Mo Lan waved its tentacles lightly, and bits of ice crystals scattered out, turning into starlight all over the sky.

"This is a rough star map of the current Baijing Galaxy."

Mo Lan waved her tentacles again, and three red lines connected, and then she said:

"We have only visited less than half of the first and second level source star systems. We have not yet visited more than half of the Zerg warriors' settled source points."

Mo Lan waved its tentacles again, and three more zigzag green lines connected the remaining "stars".

"These are the remaining three travel routes I planned."

"The first round of the Daylight Sea Arena Tournament will be held in the 78th Era, 175th Yuan, 000th Year, at the 'Outer Battlefield' of the Eight Star Systems."

"There are less than 4,000 years left. It's quite tight. We have to set off quickly."

"..."

Long Bai and Bai Wei looked at him sideways with cold eyes.

"what happened?"

Molan was displeased and asked, "Any questions?"

Long Bai asked: "Molan, after spending so much time, how has your strength improved?"

Long Bai said seriously: "My idea is that our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce also needs an extraordinary Sujing warrior to take charge. If, this time, you can successfully enter the top 300, get the 'Dusk Fruit', and then travel to the Lizhu and Dawn star systems, use the divine fruits appropriately, enrich your abilities, and then you can consider the Yaobian promotion." "Oh——"

"Please rest assured, Chief Longbai! There shouldn't be any problem getting the first 300 places."

Molan answered in a resounding voice, leaped into the air, and flapped her wings.

The cold wind swept past with a whistling sound,

In the reclaimed forests and orchards ahead, the plants withered and disintegrated, and the landslides and rocks turned into powder.

Ten kilometers ahead, the lush green mountains and forests instantly turned into loess desert and barren dead soil.

Molan circled and landed, and asked, "How is it?"

Long Bai: "..."

Bai Wei: "..."

Molan: "My control over the three elements of wind, fire, and thunder has reached its peak, but the four elements of gold, earth, water, and wood are a little weaker, especially the water and wood elements, which need to be improved. As for the body and soul elements, they are even weaker, and I am not sure if I have time to take care of them."

Molan concluded: "Speaking of being powerful... I'm definitely not a weakling. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Long Bai: "..."

Molan is indeed better at wind, thunder and fire. It's not that he is not good at other elemental abilities, but the power of these three elements bursts out faster and more violently, which is more suitable for his thunder-speed killing fighting style.

Long Bai asked, "Lin Nan's sacred tree has broken through and advanced to the planetary realm. Similar to the two-color mulberry tree, it has successfully transmitted the 'earth binding' ability to the divine Kunlanzi. Did you know this?"

Molan: "I know! I visited you. We reserved five fruits. But based on my understanding of abilities, this 'Earth Binding' is not powerful at all."

"Haha. I just made a fair comment, but the Lin Nan Sacred Tree got angry."

"It's not the time of our home planet anymore. I am now much more powerful, knowledgeable, and cognition than it is now. But it doesn't know how to be humble, doesn't understand the principle of a teacher who is more accomplished, and refuses to accept my guidance."

Long Bai: "..."

Longbai waved his paw helplessly and ordered, "Forget it. Red Maple, Green Heart, run away and bring back some food..."

Longbai immediately asked, "Molan, have you seen the blue jacaranda?"

Molan's expression became serious, and she said, "...I have seen you."

Longbai: "How is Lanying's strength?"

Molan: "Quite powerful! Like you and Baibo, it is also trying to comprehend the 'power of death', but it is much more powerful than you."

Longbai: "Dead water state?"

Molan: "That's about it. It's called 'Sea of ​​Sinking'. 'The Beast' went one step further and evolved into 'Dead Sea', manipulating the dead water ocean that covered the sky and the sun to fight. Its main body also turned into sea water, and there was no trace left."

"Once this ability is deployed, there is no such thing as being defeated. It can only be annihilated or killed by a stronger ability. It took me a lot of effort to kill it."

"I can't imitate this ability at all. Ant, maybe you can."

Zi explained: "This is a derivative of the Holy Butterfly Warrior's 'rebirth ability'. It requires the assistance of a force material called 'dead water', similar to the 'biological weapon transformation' of titanium sand, the difference is that it transforms the 'star core'."

"The Holy Butterfly Tribe built a special planet at the third-level source point to nurture a planet's 'dead water' specifically for practicing this ability. It is said to have been created by the Lord of Samsara and is called the 'Sea of ​​Samsara'."

Long Bai asked, "Are there any other special divine fruits to assist?"

Zi: "No! It's purely hard work. It must be combined with the ability to regenerate. I saw it with my own eyes. Boss Lan Ying died no less than 10,000 times for this. He died in different ways and then reincarnated in the sea to deeply understand death."

"Forehead……"

Long Bai asked, "Among the warriors from the Holy Butterfly Tribe participating in the Daylight Sea Arena, what level is Lan Ying at?"

"Hard to say……"

Zi: "Long ago, the Winged Overlord commented that Boss Lanying's talent was among the best in the Saint Butterfly Tribe. However, Lanying's situation is that he has enough ability to comprehend, but not enough will to kill. Therefore, other Saint Butterfly warriors are often arranged to fight life-and-death battles with Lanying."

Mo Lan focused and moved his antennae, agreeing, "I felt it, too. Lan Ying's 'Sinking Sea' has enough death energy, but not enough murderous energy. If it can make up for this shortcoming, maybe I won't be able to do anything to it."

Long Bai was very excited when he heard this. He gently tapped his antenna and said, "It's worth learning from!"

Long Bai said, "Let's go to the lake and talk slowly..."

...

...

Half a month later,
The Rainbow Ying Star Spider hurriedly drilled into the star web and disappeared.

Successfully obtained 20 billion in activity funds.

Molan couldn't help herself.

"Yuan Jing is too fragile. We should be more frugal this time."

"Yes."

"know."

“Planning and calculating flowers.”

“We can’t squander it recklessly.”

"Molan, where are we going next?"

"Continue to travel the White Crystal Galaxy and look for divine fruits?"

"Stupid! That's just a lie to fool ants, and you believe it?"

"Oh! Then..."

"where to?"

"I don't know. Let's go to Aquamarine and Azure Star first."

"Let's go back to Potato Leaf Star and eat the divine fruit."

"And then? Where to?"

"where to?"

"where to?"

"Everyone, use your brains to think!"

"Molan, Hongfeng, didn't you say that the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is still short of a Level 4 Source Point in order to be promoted to a Level Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes."

"Zi, you don't mean for us to go find it, do you?"

"Is there any unmarked zero-level source point in the White Crystal Galaxy?"

"Yes! But it's hard to find."

"The chances of finding it are too slim."

"There is another special place, do you know?"

"do not know."

"Where?"

"Kuaremuza!"

"..."

This place is marked on the star map.

A place like no other.

It is a mass of matter that is 1.2 light-years away from the White Crystal Galaxy, independent of the White Crystal Galaxy and has a diameter of about light-years.

It has not formed a supermassive black hole and is affected by the gravity of the White Crystal Galaxy. In essence, it is still a part of the White Crystal Galaxy.

The vast sea of ​​stars is like an "isolated island" attached to the "continental shelf".

It is currently in a semi-stable state.

There are a large number of black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants, blue giants, and supermassive stars. These stars are constantly colliding and exploding, generating fierce cosmic energy storms.

There are also some areas where matter and space tend to be stable, and source points are derived. These source points are not at risk of being destroyed by extreme celestial activities, so they can be reclaimed and source star systems can be built.

It is predicted that a third-level source point will be derived, and the whole can be regarded as a star field with the third-level source point as the center.

The third-level source point has not yet appeared, or it may not have been discovered yet, so the name was given in advance, called "Kuaremuzuo".

It is said that the seventh and eighth level chambers of commerce took the lead and organized hundreds of millions of insects to explore and develop there.

but,

If we regard the Quarem constellation as a star field with a third-level source point as the center, there are dozens of similar "semi-stable star fields" in the White Crystal Galaxy. If we are looking for the source point, there is no need to go so far, right?
Molan asked, "Zi, what does the Kwara Muzu say?"

Zi: “I don’t really understand…”

Zi paused, then changed the subject and said, "I've been there when Lan Ying and I were traveling in the Baijing Galaxy. At that time, an adventure team just happened to discover and mark a first-level source point. The news spread everywhere and it was a sensation! That adventure team was really famous."

Zi suggested, "Let's try our luck at Kwalemuzu!"

Level 1 source point? !

Molan was immediately moved and turned to ask, "Cai Gang, what do you think?"

Cai Gang: “I think it’s okay.”

Molan asked, "Luxin, what about you?"

Green Heart: “Okay!”

Molan: "Okay, then it's decided! Kuaremuzuo!"

Red Maple: “…”

Hong Feng: "Second King, I haven't expressed my opinion yet. I think..."

"Longbai asked you to follow my orders! You don't need to express your opinion."

Molan shouted: "Rainbow pillars, holographic projection, Kwaraimu constellation star map." (End of this chapter)
