Astral Ants

Juniper and Spade evolved to the Star Shine Realm, and they lived and guarded Fenglun Star permanently, one in charge of security and the other in charge of business management.

The cypress and black orchid can move freely.

Molan insisted on returning to the Azure Star System to train little warriors.

Long Bai went back to the Bauhinia star system and mobilized King Zuo and the little warriors to work with Bai Wei and Ze Qi to continue expanding the trade in Force food and complete the development of the sixth, seventh, and eighth secondary source points in one go.

The transaction covers the entire Fengyan star region.

Set up the stall first, and as for the inter-insect relationships and trading shares, you can slowly get in touch and negotiate.

Zerg warriors are mobile, and there are relationships and information exchanges between Zergs.

The 'Shuhua Chamber of Commerce' has been operating in the Fengyan star field for 60,000 to 70,000 years. More than one-third of the Zerg warriors in the entire star field, even if they have never eaten 'royal honey', must know that there is such a delicacy.

It can be considered to be quite famous.

The Shuhua Chamber of Commerce adopts a franchise cooperation business model, so expansion is not that difficult.

The trade of God-given Force food at the astral level is easier to do.

There has been no significant progress in the realm of existence.

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, Ze Qi and the others went to think of a solution.

...

It took nearly a thousand years to complete.
Longbai then went to check out the star construction project.

The project has been completed, passed acceptance, and the accounts have been settled.

Grass dragons, feather beans, poison beans, poison wheat, white mulberry and other insects have begun to arrange for the Zerg warriors to leave.

The 'Yingying Chamber of Commerce' was founded by a white-legged flame spider merchant named 'Yingying'. They only have a survival mothership with a diameter of 15 kilometers and have recruited more than direct warriors.

This star project involves a total of 13 survival motherships of various sizes and more than one million Zerg warriors.

The other motherships and soldiers were all from different Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce or tribal forces, and they all recognized "Yingying" as their leader, forming a "Star Engineering Team". There is strength in numbers, and they can work together to accomplish great things.

Flame Spiders have a wide range of social connections.
President Yingying has received another job, and it is within the Bauhinia star system, not far away.

After some discussion,

Long Bai simply led the team and continued to follow the Yingying Chamber of Commerce.

As long as the price is right, this kind of cooperation can last for a long time.

Longbai redefined the management system:

Baishen is fully responsible for all work related to the Molan survival mothership, with Xingshen'ao, Ghost Fan, Nebula Cypress, Green Heart, Red Maple, Buckthorn Berry, Scale Oak and other insects assisting in management, and Baiwei Chamber of Commerce's Feather Bean, Grass Dragon, Poison Bean, Poison Wheat and other insects cooperating.

From now on, Longbai may only appear twice in each project: the first time is before the project starts, to negotiate prices, set prices, and sign contracts; the second time is when the project is completed, to settle the general ledger and distribute the profits.

...

After Long Bai Yaojing reached the realm of glory, he gradually stopped taking care of things personally.

In other words, as the Chamber of Commerce grows in power, there are too many affairs to deal with, and the number will increase. Moreover, the business is scattered all over the starry sky, and it is impossible to manage them all, nor can it handle everything personally.

This situation had been predicted and prepared for, and many confidants and management bugs had been cultivated long ago. The Chamber of Commerce's business was divided and distributed to the confidants below, who then arranged for management bugs to be responsible for specific matters of all sizes, layer by layer.

Long Bai himself only needs to listen to reports regularly, make judgments and issue orders on particularly important matters.

...

After a busy period,
Longbai returned to Fenglun Star.

[Time: 78th Era-210 Yuan-007 Years]

Hongying and Hongcha came over with Angtianlian and Zichan.

Another ten thousand year period, with a fixed repayment of the 1000 billion yuan debt.

Yuanbai Yuanyou, Hongying and Hongcha took over, and they were responsible for the finance and procurement of the Chamber of Commerce respectively, and were also responsible for reporting to Longbai regularly.

During this ten thousand years, the income and expenditure of the Azure and Ocean Blue star systems have not changed much.

Unfortunately, the Ocean Blue Star System only harvested one divine seed of the female Soul-Building Tree.

...

[Time: 78th Era-213 Yuan-200 Years]

Bai Wei and Hong Tao took 34 Wangbai seeds and drove the Xiaolongbai to the Lizhu star system for the third time for trading.

About the same time,

The two insects, Bai Liu and Hong Xi, transformed successively and evolved into the Yao realm successfully. They also moved to the Fengyan star system and lived in the 4201 area in the north of Fenglun Star. The life seeds moved there as well.

Wuyi, Dalan and Bicolor Sang also evolved into the Star Realm one after another.

Under the names of Longbai and Molan, the ordinary God-given seeds rooted in Fenglun Star also began to evolve one after another.

[Time: 78th Era-217 Yuan-412 Years]

The giant cypress, juniper and other insects that traveled to the Dawn and Lizhu galaxies have returned and are beginning to prepare for the flare evolution.

[Time: 78th Era-218 Yuan-812 Years]

Bai Wei and Hong Tao returned from the Lizhu Galaxy after the transaction.

Soon after,

The Red Peach, Sky Needle and Cicada Bean of Baiwei Chamber of Commerce have achieved a breakthrough in their transformation.

From now on, Tianjie and Chandou will be responsible for the exchange of law fruits in the Lizhu star system, and Baiwei and Hongtao will no longer travel far.

...

The red maple, green maple, ghost fan, nebula cypress, giant cypress, juniper, incense cedar, rainbow cypress, rainbow tea and other insects of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce have gradually transformed.

The life seeds moved to the Fenglun Star territory and took root, and there was another period of commotion.

Juniper, White Willow, and Red Sedge are responsible for the defense of the territory, while Spade is responsible for the management of all Force plants.

The other bugs still live in the Bauhinia star system and are responsible for their original tasks.

After the noise, peace returned.

Time flows and years pass silently.

Ten thousand years after ten thousand years,
[Time: 78th Era-231 Yuan-192 Years]

The cypress woke up from hibernation, and used its soul-fixing ability to sense the thorns. It sent a message to the juniper, spade, white willow, and red sedge: I have evolved to the 8th age.
After saying that, he quickly got out of the tree nest and entered the nest room in Xianglan Mountain which was equipped with metal walls that could isolate mental power.

After a brief brewing, it began to absorb the force and evolve.

During the evolution of the age after the Brilliance Realm, one will maintain a clear consciousness and consciously control the newly acquired abilities to perform "Small Brilliance Changes".

Control the ability of the rosary bead to transform 'zero' into a 'star', and stick closely to the 'giant source' corresponding to 'boundless mountains and seas, boundless true world'...

It took more than a year to complete the evolution successfully.

Longbai returned to the eleventh-floor king's nest of the short-handled horn tree to examine himself and plan his future growth.

The evolution from the 7th age to the 8th age was completed without the use of any Force food, entirely through meditation to enhance the soul system, plus some tempering of the Force of all living beings, through one's own practice.

The effect is not as bad as imagined.

The mental power coverage radius increased from 120 kilometers to 150 kilometers.

After more than 30,000 years, the absorption and strengthening of Yuanli have been initially completed.

Long Bai quickly came up with a plan:

First, use the world gems to assist in further condensing the "traces" of "boundless mountains and seas, infinite true world".

Second, continue to meditate to improve your soul connection.

Third, practice and comprehend 'zero'.

Fourth, try to reflect the ability 'zero' on the soul, condense the corresponding 'traces' and overlap and merge them with the 'traces' of 'boundless mountains and seas, boundless true world'.

The next Daylight Sea Arena Battle will be held in 78th Era - 260th Yuan - 000th Year. The Su Realm Group will be considered as Star Realm Warriors by default. They only need to condense the "Traces" of their core abilities to be eligible to participate. All in all, there is plenty of time.

There is another issue that must be considered: the growth and evolution of Zuo Wang

The core abilities of the assistant kings under Long Bai are very complex. With the blessing of many laws and abilities, they have strong physiques and strengths, but the difficulty of condensing "traces" also increases.

The growth and evolution of the Starry Realm, the resource consumption is divided into two parts: the first part, the Force food necessary for age growth; the second part, the Chaos Ore Stone that assists in the ability to comprehend, and the World Gem that assists in the condensation of "Traces".

'Trace' is the key.

All the abilities you have mastered must be condensed into corresponding "traces" in order to break through and advance to the Star Realm.

After the Zuo Wang evolves to the Star Glory Realm, he should be promoted to the 7th age as soon as possible and work as usual. After work, he can take a short break and meditate to strengthen his soul. During the rotation vacation, he has a continuous long rest time, so he can concentrate on comprehending his abilities and condensing his "traces".

The most reasonable arrangement is to work while growing and improving yourself and make the most of all your time.

On the contrary, if they are stuck in the 1st age of the Brilliant Realm and waste time now, they will have to take a long vacation of tens of thousands of years in the future, and may even need to invest in the assistance of world gems, which will result in greater losses.

Zuo Wang is different from Zerg warriors.
Zerg warriors have life seeds, salaries, and dividends. After reaching the realm of glory, they can save resources on their own and evolve slowly.

Zuo Wang is not good, Zuo Wang has no life seeds, compared with Qing Feng, Hong Feng, Gui Shan, Bai Fan and other Zerg warriors who came out from the mother planet, his income is less than half. Slowly saving, it is too slow to save.

This requires the ant king to invest resources.
It takes about 7 billion to evolve each Assistant King to the 220th stage of Star Shining Realm... Under Long Bai's command, 6 Assistant Kings of the first generation, 6 Assistant Kings of the second generation, and 4 Assistant Kings of the third generation have all reached the Shining Realm, and 6 Assistant Kings of the fourth generation are in the process of preparing for the Shining transformation.

The total amount of money from all the assistant kings would be as high as 400 to 500 billion...

Long Bai planned to advance to the Star Realm and the Constellation Realm as soon as possible and participate in the next Daylight Sea Arena Battle...

Then, it would take about 2000 billion worth of world gems to accelerate the condensation of the 'trace'.

The original crystals owed to Ang Tianlian and his party are about to be repaid, but the 1.2 trillion owed to Sishu and Xia Li...

When Sishu and Xia Li borrowed the gem, they knew very well that the World Gem was embedded in the stone wall of the Ant Nest and it was impossible to return it. They could only repay it in the form of original crystals.

But you still have to pay it back eventually. After borrowing it for so long, it’s time to consider repaying it.

We also need to consider in advance the renewal of the lease of the Ocean Blue Star System after it expires, and we need to save up 5100 billion yuan.

This is not only about greater long-term rental discounts, but also about helping Luoli boost its performance and elevating its position in the Luoli Chamber of Commerce.

...

There are so many places to spend money.

...

At present, the income of cypress and black orchid insects is divided into three major sectors:

The biggest source of income is the force plants that belong to the insects. All the above add up to an average annual income of 1100 million.

The second largest source of income is dividends from the Molan survival mothership, with an average annual profit of about 900 million.

The third largest source of income is dividends from Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

The income of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is composed of the trade of force food, dividends from the Molan survival mothership, and the output of wild God-given seeds.

Excluding the income and expenses from operating the Azure Star System, the Chamber of Commerce's average annual net profit reached just over 5200 million.

Longbai and Molan can share nearly 470 million.

In total, Longbai and Molan’s average annual revenue is around 2500 million.

At present, the funds in Longbai’s private account are just over 3424 billion.

...

"We can wait a bit with Sishu and Xia Li, but at least we need to say something."

"I won't pay back the Yuanjing I owe to Sishu and Xia Li for now, so I can make ends meet."

After careful consideration, Longbai called out with his spiritual power, "Juniper, Spade, come here."

"Your Majesty!"

"My king, it's over."

"Your Majesty, your orders."

Juniper and Spade, who were hiding at the entrance of the eleventh-level king's nest of the short-handled horn tree god-given species, rushed in one after another after hearing the words.

Longbai opened the Star Network account, pointed with his tentacles, signaled to Spade, and instructed:
"You all go back to the Bauhinia star system. The first generation of assistant kings, Juniper, Juniper, Giant Cypress, Cedar, Green Cypress, Silver Cypress, and the second generation of assistant kings, Spade, you all must first evolve to the seventh age of the Starry Realm."

"Wow~woo~"

"The mighty king!"

Juniper and Spade were excited and ecstatic: We finally made it~
Juniper rushed to open the StarNet account, "My Lord, I am a combat ant. Transfer the original crystal to me. It's safe!"

Longbai waved his tentacles, tapped it, connected it to the Spade account, transferred 1320 billion, and said:
"Juniper will escort Spade. You will take the Star Spider that will go directly to the Bauhinia star system. Don't delay or separate. When you get there, transfer the original crystal to Juniper. Have Juniper ask the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce for assistance. We can save a little by purchasing together..."

"We are in a tight spot right now, so save some money for me, understand?"

"understand!"

"OK……"

Spade and Juniper agreed.

Longbai called Bailiu and Hongsi, told them to guard the territory well, and then set off.

...

Xia Li and Si Shu are now engaged in a shady business. They are wandering around the more than 180 star fields in the Baijing Galaxy, and their whereabouts are uncertain.

They only report their positions to the original president of the eight star systems on a regular basis.

Long Bai took some effort and finally found the Xingzhen star field on the edge of the Baijing Galaxy.

Scotswood star system.

An inconspicuous zero-level source point leased and operated by a third-level small chamber of commerce named 'Scolonis'.

As soon as the Taber approached, it immediately received a warning to leave: [This is the life system managed by the Scotsman Chamber of Commerce. We do not welcome foreign insects to visit. Please leave quickly! Leave quickly! ]

"..."

Long Bai put away the Taber, his figure flashed, he teleported through space, and rushed straight in. He used his soul-fixing ability to lock onto the positions of Sishu and Xia Li, and moved closer through space.

"Leader Longbai!"

"It's you~"

Xia Li and Si Shu, who looked tense and had entered combat mode, breathed a sigh of relief.

"friend!"

"friend!"

"Don't be nervous, everyone! It's okay! Disperse!"

Sishu and Xia Li waved their tentacles to signal and disperse the several highly nervous little soldiers around them.

Long Bai's soul power rippled slightly, casting a layer of barrier, and said jokingly: "Boss Sishu, Boss Xia Li, the two of you are... acting like thieves!"

Number Four: "Not a thief."

Xia Li: "I'm afraid of thieves."

Four Numbers: "Normally, nothing will happen. But I'm afraid some bugs will get crazy and don't care about their lives."

Xia Li: "We have to be careful."

"……understand."

Long Bai used his mental power to scan the area and asked tentatively, "Boss Sishu, Boss Xia Li, how many materials have you stockpiled here?"

Xia Li replied: "Not much. I just started, maybe 300,000 Chaos Stones."

Sishu: "For general star regions, we store them in the source star system independently operated by the Baijing Chamber of Commerce. But in this Xingzhen star region, there is no source directly under our Baijing Chamber of Commerce, so we can only rent one ourselves. We raised a group of young warriors, managed the life planets, and covered it up."

Xia Li: "The Xingzhen Star Region is remote, and the price of materials is relatively cheap. We plan to stock up more here."

Sishu and Xia Li briefly introduced the situation.
Si Shu asked, "Captain Longbai, is there something urgent that has brought you here?"

Long Bai said a little embarrassedly: "I plan to participate in the next Daylight Sea Arena Battle. I am eager to condense the 'Trace' and evolve to the Star Realm. I need to use a large amount of World Gems to assist me. I would like to ask the two bosses to help me exchange another 2000 billion worth of them."

Number four: “…”

Xia Li: “…”

Long Bai added: "The Tubber runs fast. It can go there and come back quickly. It won't take too much time."

Four Numbers agreed, "Okay. I'll go there."

Xia Li asked: "Where is Chief Molan? Doesn't he need it? Why not exchange more at once to save the trouble of running back and forth?"

——Two guys, looking like wealthy nouveau riche~
Long Bai said, "We would like to exchange more, but we don't have enough original crystals. We can't compare with you two big bosses."

Long Bai then asked, "You guys are reselling energy materials on a large scale, with trillions of dollars as the unit. You must have made a lot of money, right?"

Xia Li and Si Shu gently tapped their antennae without saying a word.

You can tell from his expression that he earned a lot.

Sishu said, "Captain Longbai, of the 1.2 Chaos Stones I lent you earlier, 6000 of them are my and Xia Li's private property. How about this, we can lend you another 4000 to make up a total of 1 Chaos Stones."

Xia Li said: "The other 6000 was lent to you by Lord Xiange. Although it is a small amount for Lord Xiange, we still think that it should be repaid in time."

These two guys really became rich overnight, and they both switched to using 'Chaos Ore' as their currency unit.

"It should be..."

Long Bai: "Another 3 years? The lease of the Ocean Blue Star System is about to expire. After I pay the rent and recover, I can pay it off in years?"

"Forehead……"

Si Shu: "Why don't Xia Li and I pay it back for you first?"

Xia Li: "Captain Longbai, how about you join us in making a fortune together?"

"Partnership?"

Longbai became interested and asked, "How do we form a partnership?" (End of this chapter)
