Astral Ant Tribe

A tough northern winter.

Frozen snowfield.

Time is flowing quietly.

The sun rises and sets.

Long Bai and Mo Lan stayed under the tree planted by Bai Bo, counting their days day by day.

It was finally the end of winter when the flowers given by the crimson god bloomed.

Long Bai set off alone to travel south, flying around on the throne to start the new year's work arrangements.

…

The busy work that lasted for half a month was all done.

…

Citi Hill.

Up and down the mountain, there was still a layer of ice and snow.

Yellow skewers and spruce trees lie side by side on a stone on the ridge, enjoying the warm sunshine of early spring.

Blow the wind and listen to the tinkling sound of mountain spring water.

The ruling throne dragged its long tail and fell sharply.

"Quandong Sacred Tree!"

"Yellow skewer! Spruce!"

Hongmae greeted, hissing arcs of electricity flowing between the two tentacles, full of enthusiasm.

"Quandong Sacred Tree. The soul-fixing fruit will mature on time this year, right?"

Long Bai greeted and asked.

Quandong: "Of course."

Long Bai: "Then I'll be here on time."

Quandong: "The soul-fixing fruit is relatively durable, so it doesn't matter if it's not on time."

Long Bai: "Uh..."

Long Bai landed on the ground carrying a large spider silk bag.

A medium-sized specialized blue soldier lay on the edge of the throne, looking around curiously.

Yun Shan came forward and said in surprise: "Black Birch? Much smaller! How many times have you completed the class evolution?"

Long Bai: "It just completed its third evolution before departure. Its current body length is about 1.6 meters, which is exactly what I predicted."

In the inherited memory of the Zerg tribe, and in the history of the ant tribe, there is no precedent for an ordinary ant to rise to the rank of king.

Long Bai's ant colony was cultivated through the Dominion Throne, which makes it unique.

Huang Ya and Quandong Shenshu had seen Heiti and Heiye before, but this was the first time they saw an ant in the process of leaping evolution. They were both novel, and their mental energy glanced back and forth at Heihua.

After observing for a long time, I did see many peculiarities, but I couldn't understand the reasons.

Take back your mental power and get back to business.

Long Bai opened the spider silk bag and revealed the oversized metal box inside.

"Last winter, Gui Fan and Bai Fan cooperated to find iron sand on the banks of the Jianlan Plain River, and tried to make a sample. They sent it over first and sent it to the underground treasure house to try the size."

Huang Jie agreed quickly: "Okay!"

Long Bai pointed at the body of the can and said, "There are two buckles designed here to facilitate the toes or tentacles of the front toes to pass through and grasp, making it easy to pick and place."

Huang Ya moved his tentacles, pointed at the golden orchid pattern next to him, and asked, "Is this a gold decoration?"

Long Bai: "It's not just decoration. The ghost fan washed out a little gold sand. I made it a beautiful pattern logo. The orchid logo represents the force ant honey contained in the jar, which is suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced warriors; in the future I use the azure tree to mark it, which means that the Force Ant Honey contained in it is suitable for Mountain Lord-level warriors; I use the white barberry tree to mark it, which means that the Force Ant Honey contained in it is suitable for Lord-level warriors to eat."

Long Bai: "You can use the flower pattern of Quandong Sacred Tree to identify ant honey suitable for king-level consumption..."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "..."

Huang Ke: "..."

This is a joke and empty talk. The evolutionary king level is about to leave the Force Star Realm, and there is no need for the Force Ant Honey.

Long Bai continued: "I will also use the icons of the Palace of Knowledge to mark comprehensive physical enhancement, carapace enhancement, perception enhancement, life enhancement, and elemental enhancement respectively."

“Very reasonable design!”

The yellow skewer shook its tentacles and led the way up the mountain together into the treasure house at the heart of the mountain.

Go into the cave,

Yunshan took the initiative and opened the cabinet door directly opposite.

The cabinet is just over two meters high, with metal plates fixed horizontally and divided into four levels of equal height.

Long Bai took out the box and pushed it in.

The size is just right.

Both claws clasped the side pull tab and pulled it out easily.

"It's okay! It's easier to pick up and use."

Long Bai made a comment and suggested: "The Force food eaten by the Mountain Lord and Lord level is placed on the upper floor. The junior, middle and high-level warriors are small, and the Force food suitable for them is placed on the bottom."

Yellow skewer and spruce both moved their tentacles in agreement.

Hong Ma came to the treasure house for the first time. He looked around and asked, "Huang Ma, how many metal boxes like this can be stored in this treasure house? The capacity doesn't seem to be large."

Huang Yao: "Isn't this big? During the Force era, all the precious Force food in our Citizen Mountain was stored here."

Huang Ya: "Each vertical cabinet can hold 16 boxes in one row, with a total of 4 rows, which is 64 boxes. This treasure house has three vertical cabinets and can hold 192 boxes."

Huang Ya tapped his tentacles and said: "There is also a treasure house below that is specially used to store particularly valuable force food. The same three vertical cabinets can also hold 192 boxes."

Huang Ke: "There are 384 boxes in total."

Huang Ya calculated it thoroughly, raised his paw to take the metal box and looked through it, then tried to push it into the standing cabinet and take it out again.

Quite simple.

Huang Ya clicked his tentacles with satisfaction and asked: "Longbai Ant King, are you planning to store force food in Citi Mountain?"

Long Bai: "You can say that. However, after getting the three Soul-fixing Fruits produced this year, I owe Citi Mountain 13.5 million raw stones for raw food. I plan to pay off the debt of the caravan first, and then pay 1 million per year. The amount will be used to pay off the Citizen debt in 14 years.”

"..."

Yellow skewers, spruce trees, and red maples were all speechless at the same time.

How much can you earn in a year?

Even if you could, it would be difficult, right?

Huang Ya: "Longbai Ant King, you and Mo Lan have stopped evolving? Have so many of your subordinates stopped evolving?"

Long Bai: "King Zuo can evolve slowly, Mo Lan and I are not in a hurry. We are still young, and a break of ten or twenty years will not have much impact."

Long Bai was not in a hurry, but Huang Ya was. After a second thought, he suppressed it again, changed the topic, pointed at the metal box and asked: "Long Bai Ant King, how much Force Ant Honey can be packed in such a box?"

Long Bai: "Ordinary force ant honey for junior, middle and high-level warriors, converted into raw stones, is about 500,000 to 1,000,000. Mountain Lord-level force ant honey, the score-enhanced type, is about 1,000,000 to 1,500,000. Right. The lord level is 2 million and up."

Long Bai: "The price of King Ant Honey is high. Relatively speaking, it costs more. A jar like this can cost 3 to 5 million raw stones."

Long Bai: "Roughly calculated, it's about 1.5 million rough stones per box. Your Citibank Treasury can store 384 boxes of ant honey, which is worth 5 to 6 billion rough stones."

Huang Ke: "..."

Huang Ke: "We won't use so much, and we won't be able to finish it in thousands of years."

Long Bai: "It doesn't matter. I thought of another, better way to store Force Ant Honey."

Huang Yao: "In what way?"

Long Bai: "The orthodox 'Force Honey', you know?"

Huang Ke: "...I know."

The orthodox force honey is brewed by the bee-like insect race, which collects pollen and nectar from ordinary plants.

Contains the Force, but does not have any strengthening effects.

Sweet and delicious, it is a not-expensive 'food' for enjoying life.

Force honey also has a certain effect of restraining and stabilizing the force, similar to 'royal jelly'.

Long Bai: "I currently make Force Ant Honey and Ant King Honey using ordinary fruits blended and diluted. If I use 'Orthodox Force Honey' instead, the storage time will definitely be greatly extended."

Long Bai: "Orthodox force honey is not rare. Many caravans can provide it in large quantities in a long-term, stable manner. The price is not outrageous. For such a metal box, the refining cost of each box will increase by about 50,000 to 100,000 rough stones."

"..."

Huang Yao was choked again.

384 boxes, the brewing cost increased by 20 to 30 million yuan?

Isn’t this outrageous?

So what does it mean to be outrageous?

However, if you think about it carefully, Long Bai's words make sense.

If we can really store up the force ant honey worth 5.6 billion raw stones, the future generations of insects will save some and eat it, which will last for thousands of years. Preservation will become the biggest problem, and we must spend a lot of money.

Huang Ya touched his tentacles and said, "Okay! King Longbai Ant, I'll do it your way when you get back."

"……good."

Long Bai felt strange.

Even after talking about this, why is Huang Ya still so calm?

Don’t you understand what five or six billion means?

Aren’t you Citizen still hoarding massive amounts of raw diamonds in stock?

This account is easy to calculate. Within a limited period of time, Citizen Hill could not store enough Force Ant Honey and rough stones.

Why don’t you quickly release the Linnan Sacred Tree to make money?

Long Bai couldn't make it clear directly, so he continued to explain: "The specifications of the metal box have been determined, but there is no rush to make them for the time being. We will wait for the sugarcane to evolve to the Mountain Lord level, and then mass-produce it. The Mountain Lord level flame spiders Silk has a stronger ability to restrain and isolate the original energy.”

Huang Ya nodded his tentacles in agreement.

"good."

Long Bai greeted: "I have nothing else to do this time. It's time to leave. Yunshan, this year you have to go to the Purple Lime Worm Country to help..." (End of Chapter)
