Natural God's Gift

When Si Ye walked out of the nest, the kingdom was already full of lush grass, warblers flying, and spring flowers blooming.

Standing at the entrance of the nest, a glance revealed lush greenery covering the entire mountain.

This time, it advanced to become a Rank 3 Mountain Master, awakening nine abilities. The number of abilities comprehended from the combination of three ranks already exceeded what most insect kings could awaken.

Moreover, these abilities could be combined and matched, resulting in better effects compared to a single series of abilities.

At the nest entrance, Ai Xiangzuo King was guarding outside. Seeing Si Ye come out, he greeted him happily, "Mountain Master Si Ye, have you completed your rank advancement?"

"Yes, a smooth advancement." Si Ye consumed God-given Primal Force food, making evolution much easier than for other insect warriors.

Si Ye looked at Ai Xiangzuo King: "Where is Danggui?"

Ai Xiangzuo King: "It should be at the seaside breeding farm now."

"Oh, did Ginkgo Spider King return at the end of the year?"

"It came back at the end of last year. It probably hasn't left the kingdom yet."

"Alright, I'll go find Ginkgo Spider King first. When Danggui returns, let him know that I've finished my seclusion."

"Okay." With Si Ye out of seclusion, Ai Xiangzuo King no longer needed to guard here and could go do his own work.

Si Ye came down from the mountain and headed towards Ginkgo Spider King's territory.

The distance from Twin Peaks to Ginkgo Spider King's territory was not short.

The territories of Ginkgo Spider King and Leader Qingfeng expanded from their initial territories near the Great Abyss Mountain.

Si Ye's territory, on the other hand, expanded outwards.

The distance from Twin Peaks to Ginkgo Spider King's territory was tens of kilometers. Si Ye activated its Flash Speed ability, its eight legs moving in a crisscross pattern, and soon it arrived at Ginkgo Spider King's territory.

In the territory, Ginkgo Spider King was tending to its Life Seeds. It now had two God-given Life Seeds, a ginkgo tree and a redleaf sedum. In addition, it had 44 ordinary Life Seeds.

Usually, these Life Seeds were taken care of by the bee colony under Bee Queen Xiangxu. This year, Ginkgo Spider King was in a good mood and decided to take care of them himself.

Mainly because the redleaf sedum was still in a rapid growth phase, Ginkgo Spider King wanted to prune off the flowers that bloomed in spring to prevent it from wasting nutrients on flowering and fruiting, thus slowing down its growth.

"Si Ye is here? Wait a moment." Seeing Si Ye's arrival, Ginkgo Spider King didn't stop the work in its claws but finished it before stopping.

After finishing the work, Ginkgo Spider King came to Si Ye and looked at it: "Advanced to Rank 3?"

"Yes."

"What's the situation with that raspberry God-given Seed from the experiment? I heard Qingfeng mention it, but its understanding isn't comprehensive."

So, Si Ye told Ginkgo Spider King about the growth of the raspberry God-given Seed from flowering to fruiting.

After listening to Si Ye's words, Ginkgo Spider King fell into deep thought.

"So, under the effect of the God-tier Wish Fruit, the raspberry gave birth to a fruit with nine elemental primal energies. This is a very rare occurrence."

"More or less. This experiment wasn't a success, nor was it a failure. The result is still good."

Si Ye said: "The effect of this Wish Fruit can be considered beyond expectations."

"The Wish Fruit has such a great effect. Ginkgo Spider King, what should be done with the next Wish Fruit?"

Ginkgo Spider King: "The Sea Soul Fir God-given Seed also said that the effect of the Wish Fruit isn't 100% effective.

The next one will mature much later. We'll talk about it when it matures."

"Oh." Not being able to make decisions about one's own fruit, this feeling is indeed not very pleasant. Fortunately, two God-tier Wish Fruit debts have already been repaid, leaving eight more to repay. No, there's also Leader Ziyun's debt, so that's nine debts.

Si Ye asked about another matter: "Ginkgo Spider King, will you still go to the neighboring continent this year?"

"I will go, but this year I probably won't be searching for God-given Seed tree hearts anymore. I only found three God-given Seed tree hearts last year. I've searched all the places I should search.

The Primal Force Lands appearing on Dragon Bamboo Continent and Cloud Trace Continent are also increasing, making it less suitable to run around in bionic warriors."

Si Ye was a little surprised: "Then what are you going there for?"

Ginkgo Spider King: "Many Primal Force Lands have inherited some legacies from the previous Primal Force Cycle, which have great trading potential. I have to run around more.

Also, the trade with the Dragon Louse Kingdom hasn't been negotiated yet."

"Oh," A God-tier fruit that bestows wood-type talent is indeed worth Ginkgo Spider King making several trips.

"Are you going alone?"

"What's wrong?" Ginkgo Spider King asked strangely: "Do you want to go?"

"No, I want to get some dragon bamboo from there. You also know that the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed requires a considerable amount of nutrients and primal force.

Primal force is easy to handle; I can exchange for it directly from the kingdom.

Fertilizer is a bit difficult to handle. With the various fertilizers I've collected, I can barely support the growth of the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed now?

In the future, it will definitely be difficult to supply. I plan to get some dragon bamboo back to use to transport bird droppings from the islands back to the Five Kingdoms."

"This is indeed a problem." Ginkgo Spider King thought carefully. The early growth of the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed would also benefit it.

"There's no problem collecting dragon bamboo from Dragon Bamboo Island, but are you going yourself?"

Si Ye thought for a moment and said: "I still have things to do in the kingdom, so I probably can't go.

But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I'll let Baizhi be responsible for transporting the dragon bamboo. At most, I'll hire a few more Flame Spider Mountain Masters to work."

Its territory's harvest of primal force food last year yielded 1.09 million primal stones. It's very rich now.

"That's not impossible." Ginkgo Spider King thought carefully: "However, there aren't many idle Flame Spider Mountain Masters in the kingdom right now. How about I send Hei Sanleng and the others to you!"

"Hei Sanleng?" Si Ye was very surprised. It knew Hei Sanleng. They were selected by the kingdom from high-level Flame Spiders and specially cultivated to be Flame Spider warriors needed for combat.

Mainly to prepare for events similar to the plundering of Flame Spider merchant travelers, so that there would be specialized insects to handle them.

"Yes, currently, led by Hei Sanleng, six spiders who have been specially trained in combat experience have been promoted to Mountain Masters."

"Among them, there are two Flame Spider warriors from the Zicai Flame Spider tribe, two Flame Spider warriors from the Baitui Flame Spider tribe, one Flame Spider warrior from the Watase Flame Spider tribe, and one Flame Spider warrior from the Yuanzi Flame Spider tribe."

Si Ye said: "Are there no Flame Spider warriors from the Huancai Flame Spider tribe?"

Ginkgo Spider King swayed its antennae: "Flame Spider warriors from the Huancai Flame Spider tribe are better at assisting in managing territories,

They are slightly inferior in combat, but we are also cultivating them."

In fact, it's not just that the warriors of the Huancai Flame Spider tribe are not good at combat. The insect warriors of their original Flame Spider tribe are also not very good at combat. Their main abilities lie in managing territories.

"Alright, let them work with Baizhi. I won't let them work for free. I'll pay them 50 primal stones per day."

Hei Sanleng is currently being funded by the kingdom to evolve and grow, but Si Ye still wants to show some appreciation. It's impossible to let them work for free.

Fifty origin stones a day—this price to hire a Mountain Lord-level insectoid warrior wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. A thousand days would amount to nearly twenty thousand origin stones in wages.

Outside the kingdom, the average annual income for an ordinary Mountain Lord-level insectoid warrior was only around thirty thousand origin stones.

"Alright, I'll have Black Trigram and the others find you when the time comes. They'll listen to your arrangements from now on." The kingdom didn't care about the origin stones spent nurturing a few Mountain Lords, but Black Trigram and the others couldn't just do nothing year after year. Using work to hone their combat abilities was also a good thing.

After communicating with the Ginkgo Spider Queen, Siyue returned to the Twin Peaks.

Its statement to the Ginkgo Spider Queen that it had matters within the kingdom wasn't a lie. The Dragon Bamboo Divine Seed would definitely expand to a large area in the future, requiring a lot of nutrients. It needed to start preparing a hundred years in advance.

However, before that, it wanted to sow the Water Chestnut Divine Seed that it conceived during its Second Ring Mountain Lord stage.

Originally, it had selected many ponds, wanting to find a suitable one for sowing the Water Chestnut Divine Seed, but after picking and choosing, none were suitable.

In the end, when it went to the Dragon Bamboo Plains, it found the dammed lake reservoir quite suitable for sowing the Water Chestnut Divine Seed, so it sowed it there.

Just as Siyue was tinkering with the Water Chestnut Divine Seed at the dammed lake, Baizhi led six Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider warriors to the Twin Peaks to find it.

"Siyue," Baizhi moved its eight legs, quickly running up to the dammed lake, followed by six Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider warriors.

"Baizhi," Siyue responded, also seeing the Flame Spider warriors behind it, immediately understanding that these were Black Trigram and the others.

Baizhi said casually, "Siyue, the Ginkgo Spider Queen told us to find you, saying you could arrange work for us."

"Yes," Siyue responded to Baizhi, then greeted the spiders behind it, "Everyone, long time no see."

"Long time no see," Black Trigram and the others also responded with smiles.

There were fewer than five hundred Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom in total. Siyue and Black Trigram, as Flame Spider warriors who advanced to the high-level stage around the same time and advanced to the Mountain Lord level around the same time, although not very familiar with each other, had met many times at kingdom gatherings.

Siyue said quite politely, "Did the Ginkgo Spider Queen tell you? Help me with a small favor. Some work requires spiders to do."

"She did."

"She did," the Flame Spider warriors responded one after another.

"Siyue, just arrange whatever you need us to do." Neither side mentioned money; at their level,

some things were understood between them.

The Ginkgo Spider Queen would definitely have discussed the matter of money with both parties.

Siyue thought for a moment, hesitating slightly, and said, "Everyone, although we are of the same race, I don't know much about you except for Baizhi. Can you introduce your talents and abilities? It will be easier for me to arrange work in the future."

"Sure." Regarding this, everyone had nothing to say. If you're hiring us to work, you need to know what we can do, right? Otherwise, if you're a landlubber and insist on diving, who's to blame if you drown?

Besides Baizhi, the other six Flame Spider warriors were warriors from the Purple Rainbow Flame Spider tribe: Black Trigram, Cixi.

Warriors from the White Leg Flame Spider tribe: Huotan, Youdian.

A warrior from the Watarase Flame Spider tribe: Fudi.

A warrior from the Round Purple Flame Spider tribe: Fenghua.

Black Trigram took the lead in introducing himself, "I am currently a Fifth Ring Mountain Lord, possessing both Metal and Earth talents, with a total of thirteen abilities, mainly Metal-based, specializing in offense."

They had the kingdom providing origin stone food, and they were evolving in age at a very fast rate. It could be said that their evolution speed was not slower than Siyue's.

"Oh," hearing Black Trigram say this, Siyue immediately knew what to do. Specializing in offense. (Chopping trees)

Cixi also stepped forward to introduce himself, "I am currently a Fourth Ring Mountain Lord, awakened with both Metal and Fire talents, possessing eleven abilities. I and Black Trigram can cooperate with each other in combat squads."

"Very good." Also go chop trees.

Huotan said, "I am currently a Fourth Ring Mountain Lord, awakened with both Fire and Lightning talents, possessing ten abilities.

In combat squads, I am mainly responsible for long-range offensive sniping."

Youdian: "I am currently a Third Ring Mountain Lord, awakened with both Fire and Earth talents, possessing seven abilities, currently responsible for assisting Huotan in combat squads."

Fudi: "I am currently a Second Ring Mountain Lord, awakened with both Water and Earth talents, responsible for defense in combat squads."

Fenghua: "I am a First Ring Mountain Lord, awakened with both Wind and Water talents, mainly responsible for buffing abilities for combat squads, as well as scouting the combat environment, etc.

"Oh." Siyue knew the general configuration of this combat squad.

They were all spiders carefully cultivated by the kingdom, each possessing two talents. It could be said that each one was an investment by the kingdom at a great cost.

Normally, in a combat squad, there needs to be a melee main force, a long-range offensive shooter,

a defensive shield mountain, as well as a scout for reconnaissance, and logistics with medical abilities.

Their current configuration of combat spiders was obviously too many, while there were no medical spiders at all. The configuration would definitely have to be replanned in the future.

A complete combat squad can cross a major realm and fight against the Lord level without any problems.

After Siyue listened to their talents and abilities, it immediately arranged work: "Black Trigram, Cixi, Huotan, Youdian, you and Baizhi go to Dragon Bamboo Island to collect Dragon Bamboo, process it well, and transport it back."

"Fudi, Fenghua, you assist me in working on the Dragon Bamboo Plains, no problem, right?"

"No problem," they were getting paid to work, what opinions could they have?

Afterwards, Siyue looked at Baizhi again, "Baizhi, when the time comes, have Yunshi take you to Dragon Bamboo Island. After arriving on the island, process the Dragon Bamboo according to specifications.

When the middle of the year comes, I will ask Lord Dragon Whisker to bring you and the Dragon Bamboo back."

"Okay." Baizhi looked at Black Trigram and the others with great envy. It was good to have the kingdom's resources to support them. Each spider had two talents, and their future potential was limitless!

After arranging the work for the combat spiders, Baizhi led four spiders to Dragon Bamboo Island, led by Yunshi.

Siyue then led two Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders to work on the Dragon Bamboo Plains. It planned to dig a swamp pool every 100,000 square meters on the Dragon Bamboo Plains, and when the bird droppings were transported back, they would be directly poured into the swamp pool for fermentation.

When the Dragon Bamboo Divine Seed was promoted to a higher level and gave birth to branches, it could expand and the roots could extend into these swamp pools to absorb nutrients.

Siyue calculated that, based on the area of the Dragon Bamboo Plains, it would be enough to dig one thousand two hundred swamp pools. This workload was not small. Even if it dug one a day, without stopping, it would take more than three full years. This was even with Siyue's abilities to assist.

Moreover, it was not enough to just dig the swamp pools; it also had to add fertilizer to them. This was no easier than developing the Dragon Bamboo Plains.
