Natural God's Gift

#66 - Business

Under the cover of night, the Ziyun Trade Caravan slowly left Blood Vine Lake along the mountain path. They had stayed at Blood Vine Lake for three or four days and needed to hurry to the next tribe for trade. Time accumulated bit by bit, and if they traveled faster, they might be able to visit two more tribes.

The caravan traveled as before, with Mountain Master Ziyun leading the way, only this time with Green Glade assisting from the side. Dragon Bud and Iron Thread still walked in the middle, leaving Torch Mountain Master at the rear to guard their backs.

Peony, White Root, and Four Leaf were all perched on top of Green Glade Mountain Master's head. Originally, Peony and White Root stood on Dragon Bud and Iron Thread's heads, but during the Blood Vine Lake trade, these two Advanced Warriors had purchased a lot of Origin Power food. Originally, their backs were filled with high-quality Origin Power food produced by the Flame Spider Queen, but the Origin Power food they bought was of mixed quality, increasing the quantity and weight.

To reduce the burden on the two Advanced Warriors and speed up the caravan's journey, Green Glade Mountain Master took all the little warriors onto its back.

Torch Mountain Master walked at the back, urging, "Dragon Bud, Iron Thread, you need to eat more Strength-type Origin Power food in the future when you're trading."

"Understood, Torch Mountain Master."

The two Advanced Warriors trotted behind Green Glade Mountain Master, the high pile of Origin Power food swaying on their backs, held securely by spider silk bags to prevent it from falling.

Mountain Master Ziyun walked at the very front, its mental power spreading out: "Soul, Strength, and Life, these three systems are essential foundations for all life. Even if we don't have the talent for these categories, consuming more Origin Power food from these systems still gives us a chance to develop skills in these areas.

Even if we can't develop abilities, we can still build a good foundation for our physical fitness."

"At the same time, if you coordinate the consumption of these Origin Power foods, it can produce a result greater than 1+1=2.

For example, if you feel physically exhausted, eat a red cypress seed, which strengthens limb power, and then eat an avocado to increase endurance, and walking won't feel so tiring."

Dragon Bud and Iron Thread followed the instructions, manipulating spider silk threads to take out a red cypress seed from their back shell spider silk bags, cracked it open, and ate it. Before long, they felt warmth in their stomachs, and a powerful force surged into their eight legs, greatly enhancing their grip.

They then took out an avocado pit. Avocado pits are very large. Dragon Bud manipulated spider silk threads to cut it in half, one half for each spider. Just as they were about to bite down and swallow it, Mountain Master Ziyun's mental power conveyed: "You can hold the avocado in your mouth and slowly grind it with your spider teeth. This will continuously provide you with endurance, and eventually, this power will become part of your body."

Dragon Bud and Iron Thread put the avocado pit in their mouths and followed closely behind Green Glade Mountain Master, their speed suddenly becoming much steadier.

The little spiders were unusually quiet, perched on Green Glade Mountain Master's head, not jumping around. They had been doing business for several days in a row, haggling with mosquitoes every day, and were mentally exhausted.

Green Glade Mountain Master's eight legs moved in a crisscrossing manner, and the little spiders perched on its head felt like they were in a cradle, and soon several of them fell into a deep sleep.

Mountain Master Ziyun's mental power swept over Green Glade Mountain Master's head and found that they were sleeping soundly. Four Leaf was still smacking its lips, unconsciously releasing a small amount of mental power: "Big mosquito, yummy, slurp..."

"This guy," Mountain Master Ziyun said, both amused and helpless.

"Green Glade, watch the little ones, don't let them fall off."

"Got it!"

The caravan silently moved forward on the overgrown mountain path. Traveling merchants welcomed and saw off guests in prosperous tribes, handling things smoothly and making a fortune, but that was just a fleeting moment of glory.

The real daily life was day after day of non-stop travel. Only when they found a tribe could they relax for a moment, but they would immediately have to go through the stage of bargaining with other insectoids.

Don't think they always look glamorous wherever they go. In reality, they are just squeezing out a little Origin Power food that can help them evolve from these tribes. Every transaction must be carefully calculated, and the wealth on their carapace will be lost if they are not careful.

And traveling merchants who don't have their own Origin Power food production have only one ending after losing money in business: to quietly wait for their own death as time passes.

Of course, some insects say, how can Flame Spider traveling merchants be poor? Some Flame Spider traveling merchants trade across one or two continents, only visiting top-tier tribes and only eating God-given Origin Power food, even intervening in the trade of divine fruits, easily earning hundreds of millions of Origin Stones.

Undeniably, every reincarnation period has such spiders. Relying on powerful insect vein relationships and shrewd minds, they roam the continent, dominating the world, and their every move affects the rise and fall of countless tribes.

But how many such spiders can there be in an Origin Power reincarnation?

Even calculating at the peak of the Origin Power reincarnation, it would be good if there were two or three such spiders among tens of thousands of Flame Spider warriors. Moreover, with the recovery of Origin Power, insectoid tribes will only become more and more prosperous, and they will produce more and more Origin Power food themselves.

While ensuring their own needs, insectoids will exchange Origin Power food with each other, and the demand for Flame Spider traveling merchants will only become smaller and smaller. Only spiders that do high-end God-given Origin Power food trade can knock on the mountain gates of these tribes.

Other unknown Flame Spiders, because of insufficient resources, can only be stuck at the Advanced level, unable to evolve to the Mountain Master level and quietly die of old age.

This is also why Mountain Master Ziyun and the others say they envy Original Flame Spiders who can manage their own territories. Insects that breed their own life seeds and whose territories have food production can comfortably wait for Flame Spider traveling merchants to transport the Origin Power food they need, and all they have to pay is only 20% to 30% of the hard work fee.

The caravan of five spiders traveled from night to dawn. It wasn't until the sun rose to the middle of the sky and the temperature began to rise that they found a forest to hide from the high temperature, spit out their life seeds to absorb solar energy, and hibernate to rest.

Mountain Master Ziyun instructed Dragon Bud and Iron Thread: "Don't rest immediately after walking all night. You can eat a few soapberry seeds.

The function of soapberry seeds is joint lubrication, which is very important for spiders like us who travel outside all year round. We must eat a few every once in a while to ensure that the joints of our eight legs are not worn out."

Mountain Master Ziyun untied a spider silk bag on its back, took out a few lychee-sized God-given soapberry seeds from a medium-sized spider silk bag, first gave two to each of Torch Mountain Master and Green Glade Mountain Master, and then split a God-given soapberry seed in half, one half for Dragon Bud and one half for Iron Thread.

Standing on Green Glade Mountain Master's head, the already awakened little warriors unreservedly cast envious and longing eyes.

Mountain Master Ziyun gestured to the little spiders, estimating their size, then pinched up a God-given soapberry seed, manipulated spider silk threads to cut it in half, ate one half, and then cut the remaining half in half again, continuing to cut the remaining half into sixteen portions before pinching up four of them and handing them to the four little spiders: "You are too small to eat too much, so just eat this much!"

Four Leaf accepted the God-given soapberry seed and politely thanked, "Thank you, Mountain Master Ziyun."

The other three little spiders also happily thanked, "Thank you, Mountain Master Ziyun."

Mountain Master Ziyun ate all the remaining soapberry seeds. The spiders unloaded the Origin Power food to reduce the burden, and then, with the Origin Power food as the center, formed a circle with their spider heads facing outward.

Mountain Master Ziyun instructed the little spiders: "We have to rest now. You little spiders can play around us, but don't run too far."

"Got it, we'll just play in the circle, we won't go out."

The little spiders were not ignorant spiders. They knew that the caravan had done a day of trading yesterday and had been carrying goods all night, and now they were very tired. They couldn't run around and cause trouble for them. The little spiders were already very satisfied to have God-given Origin Power food to eat and toys sent by Lord Qingfeng.
