Astral Ant Tribe

Green Maple and Red Maple each had a large spider silk bag filled with raw stones tied to their backs. They followed behind Caolong, struggling to move. As soon as they got close to the entrance of the cave, their six legs became weak and paralyzed.

"Longbai Ant King, help me~"

"The grass dragon wants our insect life~"

Green maple and red maple howled and screamed.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai looked at Cao Long, "What's wrong?"

Cao Long said calmly: "These two little guys are so courageous that they dare to threaten and extort the Lord of Luoluo Mountain."

Caolong asked back: "Longbai, didn't you arrange for them to keep an eye on me? They are thinking about getting kickbacks and playing tricks. How old are these little warriors? It doesn't matter or not. I'll help you teach them a lesson. .”

Long Bai: "...Good lesson!"

Long Bai: "...I will deal with them severely when I get back."

Long Bai: "Let's talk business first."

Long Bai swung his tentacles and asked doubtfully: "In previous years, didn't Master Bai Wei come here first?"

Cao Long: "Bai Wei has a lot of goods this year and is busy. Luo Li and I went up the mountain to trade first."

"oh--"

Long Bai: "Grass Dragon, let's get down to business. How about the power-type god-given food I want? Have you got it?"

"certainly."

Caolong thought about it and untied the spider silk rope on his back, and began to unload the goods. He handed them over here while talking.

Long Bai checked them one by one.

The inventory is complete.

Caolong then untied the spider silk rope that bound the green maple and the red maple.

Green Maple and Red Maple hurried back to Longbai, and were about to accuse Caolong of his atrocities. Longbai waved his tentacles, signaling them to go back and rest.

Wait until they go away,

Long Bai then asked: "Caolong, what happened to the metal box last year?"

Caolong: "Sold 12,000 rough stones and earned a lot of hard money."

Long Bai didn't believe it and asked, "Have you ever asked the Zeqi Spider King for an estimate?"

Cao Long stared at Long Bai with his eight eyes, speechless.

Long Bai: "Tell the truth first, how many rough stones were sold."

Caolong: "12,000 rough stones, I lied to you, I am not a spider."

Long Bai asked: "How does Zeqi Spider King estimate its value?"

Caolong: "10,000 rough stones."

Long Bai: "Okay. Let me tell you the truth. Mo Lan and I did dig more than two. But you sold it too cheaply. I'd better cooperate with Bai Wei. The biggest advantage of Bai Wei Mountain Master is his honesty. ,trustworthy."

"It was really sold for 12,000 rough stones..."

Caolong lost his momentum and said: "Sold to a friend, 12,000 is the friend's price."

Long Bai was shocked and said: "A spider like you actually has friends!"

Caolong said seriously: "I asked the Zeqi Spider King for advice. According to his estimate, 15,000 rough stones will sell well. If you are not in a hurry, you can slowly sell them at 18,000 to 20,000 rough stones per piece, and there will be insects willing to buy them."

Long Bai: "Then it would be more appropriate for me to sell it to you for 12,000 rough stones."

Caolong: "Friend, can you also let me make a small fortune?"

Long Bai: "Okay. But you have to do me a little favor."

Caolong: "You tell me."

Long Bai: "Go and talk to the Zeqi Spider King. I will use 100 metal boxes in exchange for a divine lotus seed."

Caolong: "???"

Caolong: "100?!"

Caolong: "Do you want to exchange for the divine lotus seeds?"

Caolong turned sideways and squinted: "Is it for the Molan Mantis?"

Long Bai: "Is there any problem?"

Caolong: "No problem...what about me? We are all friends."

I don’t have a friend like you~

Long Bai: "I still have metal boxes. I'll sell you 10 of them at a low price."

"The integer 100 and the integer 10?"

Caolong reacted very quickly and said firmly: "And! More! Give me 100 of them."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "How can there be so many? There are only 11 left."

Long Bai: "You go to the Zeqi Spider King first and ask. Use your brain and think of a way to help me get this done. I'll give you one."

Cao Long calculated in his mind and said happily: "Okay!"

Long Bai: "Deal first..."

…

at midnight,

Qing Ma and Hong Ma left with Cao Long.

at dawn,

Hongtao pulled the stone wheel cart and rushed over.

"Hongtao, there are a lot of goods this year?"

"Yes. The total value of Force food is 650,000!"

"Are you looking for other caravans to cooperate with you in transporting goods?"

"Yes."

"You won't make much money like this, right?"

"It's not bad. Baiwei Mountain Master is in its fifth age. It should consider its evolution path after the lord level as soon as possible."

This is a little golden mantis who knows how to plan for the future.

Long Bai clicked his tentacles to express his approval.

Heart: "Longbai Ant King, you can also earn more."

Long Bai: "That's right."

Heart: "But the owner of Baiwei Mountain cannot earn enough rough stones, so he has a proposal to maintain long-term cooperation."

Long Bai: "What proposal?"

Hong Tao: "We calculate it based on the price of the original honey, which is limited to 1 million. Within 1 million, you charge 10% of the refining and production costs, which is 100,000 rough stones. For the part exceeding 1 million rough stones, you charge 5% production cost."

Hong Tao: "Master Baiwei Mountain can guarantee with its credibility that within three years, Master Longbai Mountain, you can earn more than 100,000 rough stones every year by cooperating with it."

Long Bai made some calculations, tapped his tentacles, and said briefly: "Okay!"

Long Bai should thank Bai Wei and Hong Tao.

There is also some admiration for both of them.

When Long Bai first approached Bai Wei to cooperate in making and selling original honey, Long Bai did not have high expectations.

It was Bai Wei and Hong Tao who came up with the ingenious method of using royal jelly to seal the original honey. It was they who promoted the original honey, bringing Long Bai tens of thousands of raw stones in revenue every year.

It was precisely with this huge income that Long Bai was able to spend extravagantly at the advanced warrior stage.

"Longbai Ant King!"

Qingmai handed over the slate recording the pre-sale information.

Long Bai took it, glanced at it briefly and put it away, saying: "Hongtao, there is another news. I think I need to inform you and Master Bai Wei in advance."

Heart: "What's the news?"

Long Bai: "The crimson god-given seed is about to evolve to the lord level. It can take as short as two or three years, or as long as five or six years. My plan is to cut off all its flowers this winter."

"oh--"

The heart tentacles trembled, overjoyed, and thinking quickly.

Hong Tao: "In the few years before and after the evolution, there was no production of the God-given Crimson Light Fruit, so the transaction of Crimson Light Queen Honey will be suspended, right?"

Heart: "Okay! Got it!"

Hong Tao: "Master Bai Wei and I arranged the rough stones in advance!"

…

The transaction with Bai Wei lasted five days before it ended.

Give away the hearts.

Caolong ran over in a hurry.

"Long Bai, good news! With my unremitting efforts, the Zeqi Spider King reluctantly agreed to your exchange request, but..."

"But what?"

"Youlian seeds were harvested the year before last. The next harvest will be nine years later."

"no problem."

"but……"

"But what?"

"Anyway, you won't generate any profit by placing the metal box in the cave. Why don't you give it to the Zeqi Spider King first?"

"when?"

"Now."

Long Bai thought for a while and agreed: "No problem."

Long Bai took the initiative and said: "I will sell you 10 pieces at a low price and 1 piece as a gift."

Caolong was overjoyed, "Enough friends!"

…

Long Bai led the ant colony back to Xianglan Mountain and made a separate trip to deliver the metal box laid out in the restaurant to Cao Long.

The deal with the Flame Spider Traveler ends this spring.

Send green maple and red maple back to Kiwi Mountain.

Take Xiangbai back to Xianglan Mountain to celebrate, count the treasure house's wealth together, distribute rewards, and then send it to Bailian Lake. This year, it will be responsible for the reclamation work of Bailian Lake.

All matters have been dealt with.

Long Bai lived deep in the royal family of the ant nest and began to use various god-given force foods to prepare for evolution.
