Astral Ant Tribe

"God-given seeds of the Soul-Building Tree?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Male or female?"

"Just bloomed, my lord."

"Okay--"

Longbai paused and asked, "Southern hemisphere? Northern hemisphere? Growing in the wild or in an orchard run by the Zerg?"

Xingyun Zhi replied, "An orchard run by the Star Lord Shanshi."

"Shanshi..."

Longbai's breath stagnated, and he was speechless.

I almost forgot that there was a Shanshi...

Before the initial reclamation of the Azure Star System was completed and the Zerg warriors of Citi Mountain had not left, Longbai first arranged for Shanshi to open an orchard on Shilan Star and plant soul-building trees.

But this guy is the same kind of insect as Molan, with the same character. At the beginning, it was fine, but as it was planted, it turned into a persimmon tree without knowing it...

The first batch of 40 little warriors arrived, and Longbai arranged five little warriors to serve under the Star Lord Shanshi.

Shanshi took the little warriors and planted soul-building trees for two years. Before they knew it, it turned into a persimmon tree again.

Later, Longbai and Molan did not assign any more soldiers to it, nor did they care about it.

"Isn't Shanshi planting persimmon trees?"

Longbai asked.

Xingyunzhi: "There are also many soul-building trees planted."

"..."

Longbai was speechless.

It has to be admitted that Shanshi has always been very lucky. When it was on the mother planet, it planted two god-given seeds, Tianqing Persimmon and Shishi, one of which was top-grade and the other was close to double-excellent.

He kept silent and had a single-minded mind, and he had always lived a comfortable life.

"Very good!"

Longbai: "Xingyunzhi, you go and notify Hongguang to lead the ant colony to protect it, and there must be no mistakes."

"Harvest the seeds when they are mature and store them in metal boxes. Later, I will arrange for Juniper to make another trip and transport them back to Xianglan Mountain in time for sowing. Sow early and reap early."

"Okay! King!"

Xingyunzhi agreed. Longbai removed the night barrier, waved his tentacles and slapped, angrily: "Such a small matter, can't the Second King make the decision? Is it necessary to be secretive and come to me to report?"

"Why don't you go to work!"

Cracked the whip twice, raised his legs and kicked, and drove away Xingyunzhi.

Longbai turned calmly, climbed onto the Star Spider, and told President Xiaopeng that they could set off.

"What's the mysterious thing?"

Bai Wei asked curiously.

Longbai said: "Nothing. The little soldier bred a good new plant."

Bai Wei was very interested and asked: "What new plant can't be said?"

Jibai was puzzled and echoed: "Nebulazhi is not the kind of insect that pretends to be mysterious. King, what new plant can't be said? Could it be that it is a soul system?"

Can the two of you be more stupid?

Can't you see that there is an alien insect lying next to it?

No vision at all...

Holy Oak: "..."

Holy Oak asked curiously: "Captain Longbai, your Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is still cultivating new species? What kind of extraordinary plants have you cultivated?"

Longbai said vaguely: "A variant of Silver Cypress Tree No. 4121..."

Star Spider was slightly shocked.

After charging, it drilled into the star net.

Longbai paused for two seconds, then said: "Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has been focusing on the development of silver cypress trees. It's not a small matter. But it's not a big deal either."

Longbai muttered: "When we were on the mother planet, the top-level plants that everyone regarded as life and related to the fate of the tribe were mostly not rare in the universe. Only mutant plants like silver cypress with special strengthening effects are still rare and have certain value."

"Leader Sheng Qu, you can also consider leasing the zero-level source point in Citi Mountain and invest appropriate energy in planting and cultivating."

Sheng Qu: "Of course..."

As Longbai said, after entering the universe, there are countless top-level plants of all kinds. The key lies in how much territory and energy you have, and how many God-given seeds you can cultivate.

Citi Mountain has its own unique top-grade plantings.

The Holy Oak Chieftain was not very interested in the silver cypress, so he changed the subject and asked, "President Bai Wei, you said before that you had a brilliant idea and were 100% sure to rent a source point from the claws of the branch president named Shui Gan at a low price?"

Bai Wei: "Yes!"

Longbai was also curious and asked, "What method?"

Bai Wei stared at him, and unceremoniously, a night barrier isolated President Xiao Peng in the cockpit.

"The old method is to take advantage of the greed of the old spider Shui Gan and lure it with the world gem."

"More specifically, first of all, the Holy Oak Chieftain does not need to show up, I will talk to the Longbai Chieftain. Pretend that the Longbai Chieftain rents the second source point, and still asks the old spider Shui Gan to give a 95% discount. I will be the intermediary, and the source point will be rented to my name first."

"There is one transfer opportunity in the zero-level source point rental contract. This is a loophole..."

So and so...

So and so...

Bai Wei told a detailed story.

"President Bai Wei, can you do it?"

The eyes of the Holy Oak Chieftain sparkled, but he was a little suspicious, "It's not that easy, is it?"

Bai Wei was full of confidence and said lightly: "Sometimes, some things are just that easy! We have succeeded once."

The Holy Oak Chieftain asked again: "Will this offend the spider?"

"No way."

Bai Wei explained: "In the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, the main source of income for a spider like President Shuigan is the transaction profit commission. Each order has a reserve price stipulated by the chamber of commerce, and the transaction price minus the reserve price is the profit. Every time an order is made, Pen, the chamber of commerce position points reward is calculated based on the profit, and there is a commission ranging from 0.01% to 0.03%.”

"Spiders never suffer. It's just that you make more and less. We're just trying to make the greedy old spider make less."

"Oh~!"

"There is such an inside story~"

The leader of the holm oak touched his tentacles to show his understanding.

"..."

Long Bai and his subordinates were speechless.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wei actually planned to use the same method to trick President Shui Gan a second time...

The leader of Holy Oak continued to ask: "President Bai Wei, is there any way to get their lowest price?"

"There is nothing we can do for now."

Bai Wei: "The bottom prices of bulk 'commodities' such as Source Point and Star Spider are the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce. Leaking the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce is a very serious problem. I asked spiders from the same family and lineage on the home planet, even if they don't I am willing to reveal it, mainly because I dare not..."

Chatted for a few more words.

Insects are dormant.

…

…

Aphrodisiac star system,

President Xiao Peng drove the Star Spider and stopped at the 1001 District Square of Shuye Xingbei.

The hatch is open,

Long Cypress, White Wei, Holm Oak, Juniper, and Juniper took the lead in walking out of the Star Spider.

Behind them, little warriors were teleported out from the dimensional space one after another. After a brief confusion, they walked out of the cabin in small groups.

--Wow!

——Second level source point!

——What a rich natural force!

——So many bugs!

——All Zerg warriors who are above half-star level?

——That, that, that beetle is a place in the world?

——It seems so? I can't sense any fluctuations in the Force.

The little soldiers looked around curiously, cheered excitedly, and discussed noisily.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and shouted, giving instructions:

"Juniper, green cypress, silver cypress, jasper, red fruit, wild cherry, silver gray poplar, you organize everyone to form groups and wait in place. Don't wander around."

"Juan Bai, you lead the little warriors into the hall on the first floor according to the queue, and organize everyone to join the chamber of commerce with the help of star pillars."

"Heiti, Hei Ye, Hei Shi, you accompany the leader of the Holy Oak... to wait on the Star Spider."

Simple arrangement,

Long Bai waved his paw and said, "President Bai Wei, let's rent a small Star Spider and go there."

"good--"

Bai Wei led the way and came to Area 1001 of Anye Star South.

Go straight across the square and climb to the third floor of the Luolu Chamber of Commerce Branch.

…

In the starry sky of the universe, Zerg warriors who have lived for a long time will develop a habit: they will hibernate whenever they have a chance to breathe to reduce the loss of life.

…

The hall is luxuriously decorated, embellished with precious stones and sparkling with jewels.

Most of Shuigan Old Spider's body was hidden behind the thick star pillar, hibernating and resting.

Due to professional habits,

While dormant, he is always on high alert.

As soon as Bai Wei and his party climbed onto the third floor, Shui Gan woke up immediately. Naturally, he stood up slowly and calmly walked out from behind the star pillar.

"Huh--"

"President Bai Wei~"

"Longbai Ant King!"

After a transaction six thousand years ago, Shui Gan had two interactions with Bai Wei and never saw Long Bai again.

However, I still remember it, and it’s still fresh in my mind.

Big business worth tens of billions of dollars in leasing source points does not happen very often. On the contrary, it is rare to come across one in a hundred years.

A real big customer,

Shui Gan recognized it at a glance.

This silly little ant king should also have many world gems brought from the mother planet.

"Longbai Ant King, long time no see!"

"Welcome! Welcome, welcome."

Shui Gan walked out of the backstage, walked forward quickly, greeted him warmly, and asked after greetings: "King Longbai Ant, is everything going well with your Yuandian operation? Calculating the time, it should be more than 6,000 years ago? How about it? The rental cost has been recovered. Right?"

"Yes! Just recovered the cost!" Long Bai replied happily.

"No!" Bai Wei raised her hind legs slightly and kicked Long Bai to signal not to talk nonsense.

Shuigan: "..."

"Hey~hey~"

Shui Gangan smiled and said, "I've told you before. The price I gave to Long Bai Ant King is the most affordable price. If you are lucky, you will definitely make a lot of money. Looking at the whole universe, you can't find a cheaper price." You can’t find another real spider like me.”

Shui Gan said enthusiastically, feeling uncomfortable~

At first, I was thinking about getting more world gems, or making some difference in price through third-level metal materials, but in the end...

Shui Gan once suspected that he had been tricked by spiders and ants.

But after further exchanges, I became convinced that spiders are really not smart...

This ant, if you look at it again, it still looks dull, with such a big head blind for nothing...

The problem should be with kansui and alocasia...

It must have been plotted by those two old bastards...

Shui Gan continued to test and asked: "Longbai Ant King, how many God-given seeds have you harvested? Our Luojun Chamber of Commerce also operates an auction house in the Gongfenxing Commercial District. I am very familiar with the old spider in charge of the auction. If there is any If you don’t like the god-given seeds, you can consider them. I will help you as an intermediary and auction them to exchange them for funds..."

When Long Bai heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked: "President Shui Gan, can you help introduce me? Can the commission be cheaper?"

"No need, no need!" Bai Wei raised her claws to press down the dragon cypress, staring at Shui Gan with a bad look.

Shui Gan: "..."

Shui Gan understood that the ants should have sold some of the harvested God-given seeds.

This stupid spider is really a nuisance...

Shui Gan's enthusiasm did not diminish, and he changed the subject and asked: "President Bai Wei, Dragon Cypress Ant King, why are you here this time..."

Bai Wei said in a sonorous voice: "Rent another zero-level source point!"

Shui Gan: "???"

Bai Wei changed to a serious tone, and said clearly: "First, we use our refining ability to cooperate in the trade of refined force food, and the development is quite smooth, and the account funds are somewhat overflowed; second, the Dragon Cypress Ant King has cultivated and operated the Azure Star System, and overall, it is indeed not a loss; third, the Dragon Cypress Ant King has no other skills except managing the territory, and will not and cannot do anything else."

"So, overall Considering this, we decided to rent a second zero-level source point. "

"We also thought that the rental of the Azure Star System was more reasonable, so we approached you, President Shui Gan."

"Oh——"

Shui Gan came back to his senses from his surprise and was delighted, "I have always said that. Gan Sui and Hai Yu and I have been friends for a million years. They told me to take care of you. Then I will definitely do my best. I am a spider who values ​​feelings and loyalty."

"I have no other shortcomings as a spider, the only shortcoming is my honesty. What I give you must be the lowest price in the universe..."

Shui Gan said hypocritical words while thinking.

'Refine' ability?

According to the description, it is an ability without any special features.

It is hard to understand, such a stupid spider, plus such a stupid ant, what kind of business can they cooperate in? How can they make money?

The only explanation is that the refining ability is not as simple as they described.

Shui Gan asked tentatively: "President Bai Wei, what does your refined force food look like? Let me see? I have a certain relationship with Old Spider, maybe we still have a chance to cooperate."

The space in front of Bai Wei swayed slightly, and a metal can appeared out of thin air and floated towards Shui Gan.

Shui Gan controlled it, unscrewed it and took a look, then unceremoniously opened his mouth and sucked it all in, tasting it, and commented: "It tastes great! The energy is also more pure! It should be very popular."

Shui Gan asked: "Longbai Ant King, is there another way to say your refining ability? As the ability is strengthened, the loss is reduced?"

Longbai: "Yes-"

Bai Wei explained: "In order to cultivate the azure star system, Longbai Ant King Half Star Realm mainly uses water-based divine force food to grow and evolve. In addition to daily training and application, the refining ability has been improved, and the processing loss has been reduced to a level comparable to that of scientific and technological equipment."

"A can of 10,000 original crystals on the market, the packaging value is 9000 crystals of force food. We sell it to other cooperative chambers of commerce for 9500 crystals. These chambers of commerce take it for their own use or sell it in stores. "

"500 crystals difference, of which refining loss is about 250 crystals, and the packaging cost is almost negligible. We can earn nearly 250 crystals per can. "

"We have been doing this business since we were on our home planet, and we have done it all the way to the Qiming star system and the Baijing star system. We know a lot of friends, and everyone trusts us, so we have expanded the scale. The profit is meager, but with a large volume, the income is also considerable. "

Shui Gan: "Uh..."

Shui Gan: "Awesome..."

Can this earn crystals?

If the annual transaction volume can be increased to hundreds of millions, it is indeed profitable.

Bai Wei asked: "President Shui Gan, do you know the spider in charge of the Force food trade in Luoli Chamber of Commerce? Then, can you introduce him to me..."

"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him. I'll ask him for you later."

Shui Gan answered perfunctorily, led the way, walked to the display stage, walked quickly behind the stage, raised his claws and injected a ray of energy.

The light in the hall went out.

Above the holographic projection stage, the stars were shining.

Shui Gan ignored Bai Wei's contemptuous look and asked with concern: "Longbai Ant King, the lease of the Azure Star System will expire in about 4,000 years? Do you plan to renew it?"

Longbai: "Of course-"

Shui Gan asked: "Have you prepared the rent?"

Longbai: "Don't worry, President Shui Gan, we are counting on it, and we will definitely prepare it by then."

Shui Gan asked again in confusion: "Don't you have the God-given seeds of life? But I remember that the last time I checked your Chamber of Commerce's information, there were as many as 40 wild God-given seeds? And one God-given? Don't you use source gems for them?"

Longbai answered honestly: "Six God-given seeds and life-given seeds have been used. There is no rush for wild God-given seeds for the time being."

"Oh-"

"Six God-given seeds?"

Shui Gan was secretly shocked, and at the same time he had a number in his mind.

The source gems have not been used for the wild God-given seeds, which means that the Chamber of Commerce's funds have not reached what Bai Wei said, and there are too many to spend.

Shui Gan continued to inquire, asking: "Longbai Ant King, I'm sorry to ask, how much original crystals can you earn every year? I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that you have invested all your income in the zero-level source point, what will happen to the God-given seeds? You have to pay attention to planning! In the initial development, the God-given seeds are given priority." "Thank you, President Shui Gan, for your concern!" Longbai thanked him politely and answered honestly: "The territory income is 3 million per year, and the original force ant honey trade is more than 6 million per year. We directly sell the God-given seeds below the average harvested from the Azure Star System, which is also a considerable income. In addition, I have some world gems for emergency..."

Bai Wei quickly raised her paw and pushed Long Bai down with one paw.

Bai Wei said angrily: "President Shui Gan, why are you asking about this? Just introduce the source of rentals."

"Yeah~ right~"

Shui Gan took his time and asked: "Then what kind of source point are you planning to rent? What is the appropriate price range? Are there any location requirements? Is it closer to the Sheep's Hoof star system? Can a source point in a remote star field work?"

Bai Wei asked: "Are there any other star systems that are short of water during construction? The price is cheaper, and we are good at making water."

"A star system short of water?"

"Yes! And it's not very far from your 'Azure Star System', but... forget it, you guys should know about it first, maybe you'll be interested."

Shui Gan said, a flash of light quickly flashed in his eyes, and under the control of his mind, the holographic projection in front of him continued to enlarge, and then enlarged again.

Shuigan raised his front paws, condensed a little blue light, marked it, and said: "This is your blue star system, heading away from the Sheep's Hoof star system, about 241 light-years away..."

Shui Gan said, raised his paw a little more, and put a blue light mark on a source point numbered 311034782.

"Level 0.8 source point, the specific force concentration is 0.841, with 9 planets in full, the highest level in the zero-level source point star system."

"During construction, we collected materials from the same mass of matter as the azure star system, and suffered from the same lack of water."

"But the material mass was not completely waterless. At that time, the collectable water resources were given priority to level 0.8 source points and concentrated on two of the planets. One of the planets had abundant water resources, but it was not developed and was at high temperature. , dense clouds, and a state of chaos. The other planet has water, but it is insufficient, and the gap is about 100 million cubic kilometers. "

After the introduction, President Shui Gan commented objectively: "After calculation, the distance from the Sheep's Hoof star system reaches 928 light years, and the location is relatively remote. Other than that, I can't find any flaws."

Long Bai asked: "Where's the rent?"

Shui Gan: "9 million raw crystals per year, rent starting from 10,000 years. I still give you two options. The first option gives you 4,000 years of reclamation time, a lease period of 10,000 years, and a rent of 54 billion; the second option , the lease term is 14,000 years, and the rent is 90 billion.”

Shui Gan followed up and asked: "King Longbai Ant, is your chamber of commerce expanding its membership?"

Long Bai hesitated and answered honestly: "Yes. Our Chamber of Commerce has too few warriors, so we recruited many young warriors from the azure star system."

"Isn't the territory of that district not enough for a young warrior to live in?"

Shui Gan: "Then we still follow the old rules. In Suye Star or Saddle Leaf Star, you will have the right to live in a district for free. You can live for free as long as you rent at Source Point. Is it affordable enough?"

"Affordable enough, but..."

Long Bai looked at Bai Wei.

Bai Wei stared at the projection with a solemn expression, obviously heartbroken, but embarrassed...

Bai Wei: "It's too expensive."

Shui Gan asked thoughtfully: "How much is the difference? If it's not much, maybe I can help you find a way."

Long Bai said with a guilty conscience: "We plan to rent a 0.6-level source point similar to that of the Azure Star System, so we only raised 30 billion... Are we still short of 24 billion?"

The gap is too big~

Shui Gan was secretly happy and worried at the same time, and said: "The difference is indeed a bit big. Borrow? Who can lend you so much? How about considering a loan?"

While Shui Gan spoke, he observed the reactions of Long Bai and Bai Wei.

Obviously, they are all very excited about the 0.8 level source point.

There was insufficient funds, and they all hesitated.

Bai Wei asked: "Can the loan be interest-free?"

"The biggest discount I can give is interest-free for five thousand years and 0.02% interest for the remaining five thousand years."

"No loan!"

Bai Wei flatly rejected it.

Shui Gan cautiously suggested: "Then, how many world gems are there? Can we sell a batch in appropriate quantities?"

After Shui Gan finished speaking, he then reminded: "Level 0.8 source points are very popular with those powerful large chambers of commerce. In the past thousand years, no less than ten chambers of commerce have shown strong interest in source point No. 311034782 and have the intention to rent it. "

"The price I gave them was not that favorable, and because the location was a little remote, we couldn't negotiate."

"oh oh."

Bai Wei turned sideways, squinted, and asked in disbelief: "Where is my pokeweed divine pattern? Can I still enjoy another 50% discount?"

Shui Gan: "It's not possible..."

"Not quite?"

"If it doesn't work, forget it. There aren't many gems left in the world..."

Bai Wei changed the subject and simply said: "President Shui Gan, let's be more realistic. Just like last time, we will give you a 50% discount. We will pay from my Baiwei Chamber of Commerce. We will consider renting it. If it doesn't work out, forget it." Let’s look at other sources.”

Shuigan thought about it, hesitated, and said: "Then I will ask my superiors for instructions..." (End of Chapter)
