Astral Ant Tribe

Wing Star, Area 1001.

Next to the all-metal Luolu Chamber of Commerce headquarters, a third-level star spider with a body length of more than 100 meters docked.

The mouth opens, revealing a portal for entry and exit.

Alocasia stood alone at the door.

"President Alocasia!"

Long Bai greeted.

"The source material gem has arrived."

Alocasia has a gentle and easy-going temperament, and asked considerately: "Have you accumulated enough raw crystals?"

Long Bai: "Three hundred million raw crystals, just enough."

Alocasia didn't say much. Seeing that there were no other bugs in the square, the air in front of him contracted and formed a sticky air mass. The space rippled and two Originium gems fell out.

Long Bai came closer and activated the StarNet account.

[Long Cypress·Big Head Blind Leaf-cutting Ant King·Star Mark Realm]

【Assets: 601800000】

【Debt 0】

President Alocasia then activated the StarNet account.

Private insect turns into private insect.

Transfer 300 million raw crystals.

Mental power and thought repeatedly confirmed the completion of the transfer.

Long Bai buried his head and collected the origin gemstone.

Transaction complete.

Xingwang personal account still has a balance of 300 million.

Long Bai was very confident and was not in a hurry to leave. He chatted and asked:

"President Alocasia, has this trip of Star Spider just arrived?"

"Arrived last night."

"Where is President Gansui?"

"It is undergoing maintenance. As the Star Spider keeps running between the Qiming Star System and the White Crystal Galaxy, some components will inevitably suffer from aging, damage, or even damage. According to the process, every time it arrives at the destination, it needs to be inspected and repaired manually. Fan."

Long Bai asked in confusion: "President Gansui will also repair the Star Spider? Doesn't it mean that the first, second, and third-level Star Spiders and starships are equipped with intelligent brain systems, and they will self-check and repair before and after each voyage?"

Alocasia replied: "The intelligent brain system is not completely reliable, nor is it omnipotent. For ultra-long-distance voyages that are related to the lives of many Zerg warriors, it is still safe to check them first."

Alocasia answered in detail: "In the new universe era, our survival activities in the universe mainly rely on star spiders and starships. Mastering relevant structural principles and maintenance knowledge are essential skills for survival in the universe. A formal member of the Luoji Chamber of Commerce, Evolving Stars After entering the country, the Chamber of Commerce will organize a systematic training.”

"oh--"

That was not what Long Bai cared about. He glanced at the door and asked, "President Alocasia, it's not easy for Star Spider to make this trip. Didn't you bring some other valuable goods with you?"

"have it--"

Alocasia asked back: "Longbai Ant King, sensing your original energy, the peak of the Star Mark Realm and the evolution to the Half-Star Realm are not far away, right?"

Long Bai said truthfully: "It's still far from enough."

"clear--"

Alocasia said: "Then you will evolve to the semi-star realm in the future. If you are willing to continue evolving, you can come to me and Gansui."

"Every time the Star Spider comes over, it will deliver a batch of star-level god-given force food to us two old spiders and the warriors hired by the Chamber of Commerce to maintain order. We can't eat it ourselves, so we sell it to other Zerg warriors in need. .”

Long Bai: "..."

It doesn't seem necessary.

To evolve and grow in the Mark Realm, it is enough to eat the Force food of the Mark Realm.

Only the star realm needs the force food at the star realm level.

He and Mo Lan had big plans, and it was still early for them to evolve into the star realm.

Calculating the time, it would be time for everyone to leave for the main galaxy to develop.

Long Bai tried to ask: "President Alocasia, what's the price?"

Alocasia: "Long-distance transportation is not easy. It may be 20% higher than the market price."

"A very reasonable price! There will definitely be demand when the time comes, and I will definitely look for you."

Long Bai asked tentatively: "President Alocasia, the White Crystal Galaxy is so big, there must be soul-type god-given force food for sale, right?"

"Yes... there must be..."

Alocasia pondered and said: "It's hard to buy. The price is high. Generally speaking, the price of soul-type god-given force food is ten times that of regular god-given force food. We may have to charge a little more here. A little hard work."

Long Bai's eyes brightened slightly and he asked: "Can I buy it now? I am in the 9th age of the Star Mark Realm and haven't used force food yet, so I can eat some appropriately."

Alocasia: "Of course. If you need, you can sell some. As for the price..."

Alocasia paused and said, "We charge 40% of the market price as a hard-earned fee."

Long Bai: "..."

Alocasia patiently explained: "The soul system is a power that overrides the seven elements and systems. Due to the laws of the universe, there are extremely few soul-system-talented Force life forms in the entire universe. In the same principle, soul-system plants, soul-system plants God-given seeds and soul-based force foods are extremely rare. If they are scarce and difficult to buy, the price will naturally increase."

"Gan Sui and I can get the goods directly from the Chamber of Commerce in the name of Star Realm Soul Casting. But it's not like we can have as much as we want. On the contrary, there is a quota limit. Also, ordinary insects can't hold the original crystal. You can definitely buy it. You are not an ordinary insect, you are qualified to buy it."

Long Bai: "...I understand."

Long Bai listened to his heartbeat and calculated the calculation: "Calculated at ten times the price, at the age of 9 in the Star Mark Realm, I can eat 5 million conventional force food, but if I switch to soul-based force food, it will cost 50 million? Including a 40% premium, it’s 70 million?”

Alocasia: "That's right. This is the most expensive evolution in the universe. You have many divine items and few insects, so you can consider it."

No need to think about it!

Long Bai followed up and asked: "President Alocasia, do you have it in stock?"

Alocasia: "Yes. The quota is limited and has been reserved for a long time. If you need it, you can make a reservation in advance. When the time comes, there will be no need for insects. If you have a free quota, I will arrange it for you."

"OK!"

Long Bai said: "About every 330 years, a Star Spider arrives in the Qiming Star System. Does it happen every time?"

Alocasia: "Almost. If I have a share, I will let you know."

"good!"

Long Bai said politely: "Then thank President Alocasia in advance."

Long Bai then asked: "President Alocasia, will the next Star Spider coming from the Dawn Galaxy bring the Origin Crystal?"

Alocasia: "As usual, the next trip should be to transport good things that will help the Zerg warriors evolve and grow."

"oh--"

Long Bai lamented: "The seed bestowed by Bai Qi has only condensed 3 traces so far. Two source gems are not enough to help it break through to evolve to the semi-star realm."

"I'm afraid just three won't be enough."

Alocasia said: "I suggest that Bai Qi don't rush to break through in the Star Mark Realm, in a similar way to Ye Xiang God's Gift. You can focus on extending your life, or you can develop the original power of the second type of life. The Divine Grade God's Gift This is a rare opportunity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a leap, so you should give it a try no matter what."

"I think so too……"

Long Bai asked tentatively: "President Alocasia, how about you and President Gansui sell two more of the four source gemstones five thousand years later to me?"

Alocasia: "Gan Sui and I think so too. However, we have some suggestions that we hope you can adopt."

"The seeds given by the God of White Barberry are in the Star Mark Realm stage, focusing on the life-extension type ability. To be honest, serving in Qiming Star System, although the reward is rich, it also wastes a lot of our time and lives. We need life extension."

"understand……"

Long Bai considered his words, spoke slowly, and asked: "If Bai Qi is like Ye Xiang, he endures it, condenses nine or ten marks, breaks through beyond the limit, and focuses on the life extension type, then after he is promoted to the half-star realm, , the qualitative change effect of producing divine fruits should be..."

Alocasia: "The life extension time is greatly increased, and it can penetrate deep into the soul. It is effective for warriors in the star realm and above. The value will naturally increase dramatically. Whether considering the future evolution of the seed given by the god of Bai Bai, or from the output income Let’s face it, it’s impeccable to handle it this way.”

"!!!"

"I understand! Thank you, President Alocasia, for your valuable advice!"

Long Bai humbly asked for advice: "President Alocasia, different types of divine seeds have their own knowledge about the growth and evolution of the Star Mark Realm!"

"Yes. And it's very complex and diverse..."

Alocasia understood what Long Bai meant and directly activated the soul system's 'write' ability.

A large amount of information related to the divine seed was imprinted on Long Bai's soul consciousness.

Long Bai activated his super brain power, searched and browsed through it, thanked him again, and left.

…

…

Twisted Blue Star.

Pandan Mountain.

Long Bai went straight to the tree planted by the god Bai Bo.

Mo Lan followed closely.

"Long Cypress? Origin Gem? Did you buy it?"

"Bought! Two."

Long Bai buried his head, the pokeweed divine pattern flashed, and an origin gem fell out.

"Bai Bao! Go on!"

Mo Lan had already activated his ability, curling up the hydra tentacles and pressing them against the main trunk of the white barberry tree.

"Thank you Mo Lan."

Bai Bo happily expressed his thanks.

After waiting for three thousand five hundred years, the wait is finally here!

The spiritual power surged out like a tide, mixed with the energy field, wrapped the gem, and pulled it into the trunk of the tree under control.

Successfully complete the soul sojourn.

"Long Bai! Mo Lan! That's it!"

Bai Bo exclaimed in surprise: "It is indeed as vast as the ocean!"

Spades came over and asked: "Baibo, now that you have the Origin Stone, when will you be able to condense the fourth mark? We have a large group of Zuowang waiting for you to feed them."

Bai Bo: "..."

Bai Bo felt calm, thought for a while, and said firmly: "Within a hundred years!"

"Yeah. Hurry up, I can't wait for a year..."

Spade urged, but before he could finish his words, Long Bai slapped him with a whip.

Long Bai: "Bai Qi, don't pay attention to Spades, don't be in a hurry, take your time. Try to use the energy of the Origin Stone as sparingly as possible."

Bai Bo: "I understand. I'm not in a hurry."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and said to the trees that were peeping in Youyuan: "Ye Xiang and Bai Qi will evolve first, make money first, and make big money. We will also save money hard. When we arrive in the Qiming star system, everyone will have the source of gemstones."

"Okay. It's gone. It's gone. Don't affect Bai Bo's perception..."

…

Bai Bo's talent is not bad either.

Only 64 years later, the fourth mark was successfully condensed.

Wait for four years, wait for a batch of fruits to mature and harvest, and then break through and advance to the Nine Marks Realm.

The divine white barberry fruit at the level of the Nine Marks Realm has double the life-extending effect.

Revenue doubled.

All the insects and divine products have been eaten up, and the divine products produced have been exchanged for god-given force food at a discount.

The output of four white barberry, wingless, big orchid and double-color mulberry trees can be exchanged for 130,000 yuan per year.

Dragon cypress and other force plants in the Molan territory also produce more than 50,000 yuan in revenue every year.

Force Honey, which cooperates with Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, is temporarily suspended. However, the quantity of Ant King Honey is large, and the annual dividend is as much as 100,000.

280,000 per year, distributed to the 16 assistant kings under his command, as well as Azalea, Hongsang, and Green Stone.

More than 15,000 can be distributed every year.

They have all evolved to the Star Mark Realm, requiring 6 million resources for each age, and growing steadily at a rate of 400 years per age.

The ninth age of the Star Mark Realm is not too far away.

After reaching the 9th age of the Star Mark Realm, like Long Bai and Mo Lan, they are stuck and do not rush to break through, exercising their abilities, condensing marks, and enriching the Star Marks.

Resources are distributed every year as usual.

Juebai will make unified arrangements and convert them into raw crystals and deposit them into individual accounts.

Zuowang, Zhu, Hongsang, and Greenstone can also start to accumulate their own wealth and control it freely. Longbai and Molan will not ask any questions.

…

Five hundred years later,

The first Essence Gem is exhausted.

Bai Bo also successfully condensed into nine marks, the peak of the nine marks realm.

Long Bai didn't hesitate and used the second source gemstone on it.

Another hundred years later,

Bai Bo successfully completed the unification of the nine marks, condensed the star marks, and broke through the evolutionary star mark realm.

The life-extending effect is doubled again, with a single pill extending life by 1,200 years and priced at 180,000.

High Yield,

The flowering and fruiting cycle is 24 years, and each batch produces 15 fruits.

The average annual income of barberry is more than 110,000.

…

More than four hundred years later,

The second Essence Gem is exhausted.

The growth of Star Mark Realm is about one-third completed.

Bai Bo's talent is a bit worse than Ye Xiang's. It should be enough to comprehend four thousand years by herself first, and then use two source gems.

…

The earliest original crystal loan of 300 million was repaid with interest.

The annual net income surged by 120,000, and Long Bai and Mo Lan shared it equally.

Long Bai and Mo Lan each receive 160,000 yuan each year and deposit it into their private accounts.

…

The second original crystal loan of 150 million yuan was repaid with interest.

The annual net income will increase by another 60,000.

The other insects were divided.

…

[Time: 78th Era - 126 Yuan - 455th - May]

Hot and sultry summer days.

Long Bai and Mo Lan led the insects in Xianglan Mountain to have a dinner under the blue tree planted by God by the lake.

Yuto came over looking for it.

"King Longbai Ant, another Star Spider from the White Crystal Galaxy has arrived. President Gansui said there is something you need."

"good!"

Long Bai understood instantly.

——The soul-based god-given force food finally has its share!

Mo Lan jumped up and said, "Together!"

"I'll go with the Second King."

"The other bugs continue to eat. Let's go back quickly."

Long Bai gave brief instructions and set off.

…

…

Winged Star.

The 100-meter giant star spider opened its mouth, and Gan Sui stood guard at the door.

"President Gansui!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted.

Gansui didn't waste any more nonsense and went straight to the point, saying: "There are old bugs from a large tribe who want to leave. There are 5 soul gene agents left. The prevailing price is 1 million raw crystals per tube. Here, they sell for 1.4 million. How many do you need? branch?"

Mo Lan said without hesitation: "5!"

The space in front of him fluctuated slightly.

Five silver-gray metal tubes about 15 centimeters in length and 3 centimeters in diameter appeared out of thin air, floating in front of Mo Lan.

The technology of human technological civilization.

The original food is purified and compressed into a solid cylinder of standard size, which is convenient for measurement, storage and transportation.

The full name is [Solid Gene Enhancer].

Referred to as "gene agent".

There are characters marked on the surface of the metal tube: [Soul·God’s Gift·Half Star·Comprehensive Strengthening]

There is also a row of characters marked: [10-000-1241]

Number 10 represents the soul system among the ten series of talents.

The number 000 represents the comprehensive enhancement in the soul system.

Number 1241 represents the output of a specific category of plants.

For example, the number of cypress plants is 0096; the number of paper mulberry trees is 8280.

Peach trees, apricot trees, pine trees, fir trees and other plants all have their own classification numbers.

The force food produced by the same tree and the same type of plant has the best strengthening effect when used for the first time. When the use reaches a certain amount, the strengthening will decay.

Use unified character numbers to facilitate identification by Zerg warriors and try to avoid repeated purchases.

Long Bai's thoughts moved slightly, and a metal pipe floated in front of him, controlling the sealing cover to rotate and open.

Inside is a brown-white, translucent gel-like solid rod pressed into one piece.

Long Bai opened his mouth and sucked it in, swallowing it into his belly.

Under the powerful digestion ability, the pure soul energy at the star level quickly disperses, gathers into a group, and is slowly absorbed into the blood. A small part is scattered into the limbs and bones, and most of it is gathered in the brain, absorbed by the soul, and transformed into To strengthen the soul.

--nice one!

——But the quantity is really too little.

——Only equivalent to about 90,000 conventional divine grade force foods.

——The soul system is expensive, 10 times the price, it should be 900,000.

——The price is 1 million, the difference is 100,000 raw crystal, 10% gross profit?

Long Bai understood the reason instantly.

In the process of refining and processing technology, about 3% of the original energy is lost.

This loss is included in the cost.

There are also metal tubes for packaging...

Royal jelly is also used in the threads!

The gap is tightly closed and the dosage is very small.

There is a layer of raw energy metal coating inside the metal pipe, which can effectively isolate the flow of raw energy.

The metal tube used for packaging is also included as a cost, and it is not cheap.

Long Bai had a rough figure in mind: processing and packaging costs exceeded 3%, and interstellar transportation costs also had to be considered. The actual profit should be between 5% and 6%.

"tasty!"

Mo Lan also opened one to try, cheered and emphasized again: "President Gansui, we want them all! If there is still a share in the future, Long Bai and I will also take it all!"

"It depends on the situation. Every time the Star Spider arrives, I will give you 5 shares."

"Isn't 5 pills enough? How about 10 pills? Ant and I each have 5 pills. This is reasonable."

"It depends."

Gan Sui looked like he was not very happy to sell, activated his Xingwang account, and urged: "Don't waste time, pay!"

Mo Lan then activated the Star Network account and calculated the accounts at the same time: "I take 4, I pay... 5.6 million raw crystals?"

Gansui: "..."

Mo Lan: "Ant and I are separate. We each manage our own business. I cover all the shares of these 5 branches. Ant pays for himself and finds his own way, I don't care about it."

Gansui: "..."

Gansui: "The witty mantis."

Gan Sui said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense. Be more neat."

…

Molan has integrated more than 160 marks into the ultimate Molan Star Marks combination, and is not far from the goal of 180 marks.

Long Bai is still far away.

Mo Lan eats first.

At the 9th age, he only eats soul-based god-given force food, and breaks through to the evolved half-star realm in the most luxurious manner. (End of chapter)
