Astral Ant Tribe

A large swarm of insects formed a group.

Styloscope became the most beautiful spider in the center of the field.

"Stylus Spot, you must know about the Origin Gem, right?"

"That's for sure."

"I heard that it will be sold at auction?"

"Yes."

"What about the price?"

"Everyone starts bidding at a low price of 100 million raw crystals, with a maximum price of 250 million. The fluctuations are relatively large. When it is low, it may be 150 million, and when it is high, it may be more than 200 million."

Zhuban explained in detail: "The most precious function of the source material gems is to enhance the life level of the force plant. And there is an upper limit to this improvement. For ordinary life seeds, three source materials gems can reach the top; for God-given seeds, two can reach the top; One divine grade god-given seed will reach the top. After reaching the top, all that is left is to accelerate the comprehension and growth of the Force Plant."

"So, sometimes, the chamber of commerce will auction them in groups of two or three."

"The supply of source gems is relatively sufficient. If you go to any second-level source point and consult with a seventh-level chamber of commerce, there will be an auction within a hundred years."

Hong Tao asked: "Where is the Origin Crystal? Have you heard of it?"

Stylus Spot: "I've heard of it. I've also seen it. It's a new thing. I heard that it was shipped from the Dawn Galaxy. The price is relatively expensive. 100 pieces/set costs 300,000 raw crystals."

"I heard that the alexandrite beetle-shell tribe used their abilities to combine the original crystals and build veins to create them."

"I heard that a large chamber of commerce has long invited the warriors of the Emerald Golden Turtle Tribe to come to the White Crystal Galaxy for cooperative development. They selected suitable source mineral stars and built many mineral veins. I estimate that it will not be long before a large number of minerals are put on the market. By then, The price will probably go down.”

Hong Tao asked: "What about the Chaos Top that our Zerg warriors can use?"

Stylus Spot: "Yes. Many living planet trading areas directly sell them, which are subdivided into three levels: 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3, which correspond to the three realms of semi-star realm, planet realm, and star realm. Gyro fruits produced from the god-given seeds of the Gyro Tree. The prices are 3,000 raw crystals/piece, 4,000 raw crystals/piece, and 5,000 raw crystals/piece."

Pillar asked in return: "Have you ever used source material crystals and chaos tops in the Qiming star system?"

Heart: "Of course."

Stylus Spot: "What's the price?"

Mo Lan figured out the accounts and said angrily: "The Chaos Gyro we use should be 1-1 Half Star Realm, and the price is 5,000 raw crystals per piece! Is the Luoji Chamber of Commerce making 2,000 raw crystals per piece?"

--yes!

——2000 raw crystal price difference!

——The shipping fee will never exceed 1,000 raw crystals.

——Is it too dark?

The other Zerg warriors around were furious, followed by a burst of angry curses: profiteers deserve to die!

"..."

Several flame spider profiteers remained motionless and did not dare to speak.

Long Bai took over the topic and asked: "Zuban, where is the source point?"

Styloscope: "Source point..."

Pillar: "Longbai Ant King, you mean the zero-level source point? Are you planning to rent..."

Long Bai asked angrily: "Do you think I'm the kind of insect that can buy an origin point?"

"picture!"

"Given time, Longbai Ant King will definitely be able to afford it!"

Zhuban complimented and explained: "The situation of the zero-level source point is particularly complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly. First of all, leasing is divided into long-term leasing, short-term leasing, whole leasing, and scattered leasing..."

Long Bai: "How many years is the long-term lease? How many years is the short-term lease?"

Zhuban: "Short-term leases are for 10,000 years. Long-term leases are for 100,000 years or more."

Long Bai: "Entire renting means renting the entire Source Point star system?"

"Yes."

Zhuban: "Zanzhu is also the beginning of a living planet."

Long Bai: "What about the rent for the whole lease? It's calculated as a short-term lease for ten thousand years. Can you give me a rough idea."

Zhuban thought, carefully selected his words, and said: "Source points with a Force concentration below 0.5 are usually easily developed into mineral stars. Source points with a Force concentration of 0.5 and above can be developed into star systems and life systems can be established through management. Stewardship, harvesting the God-given seeds.”

Pillar Spot: "In a star system with a Force concentration of 0.5, if you build five life planets, the rent will be about 30 billion over ten thousand years."

"For a star system with a force concentration of 0.6 and the construction of 6 living planets, the rent for ten thousand years will be about 45 billion."

"For a star system with a force concentration of 0.7 and the construction of 7 living planets, the rent for ten thousand years is about 60 billion."

"And so on. This is roughly the rule."

"Between Force concentration 0.5 and 0.6, there are also 0.51, 0.52, and 0.53. There are more detailed distinctions here."

"In addition, traffic is also one of the factors that affects the rent of the source star system. The reason is very simple. If you have rented the origin point, you must have taken root in the secondary source star system, right? You must often travel to and from the secondary source star system where you live. Between the point and the zero-level source point of operation, right? The distance is far, whether you are driving a star spider on your own, or taking a star spider from another insect, the freight cost is also a cost that cannot be ignored. "

"It's pretty much counted..."

Long Bai tapped his tentacles and asked: "What about the loan? Can it also be interest-free?"

Stylus Spot: "No. But the harvested God-given seeds can be used to deduct debts. In the starry sky, the value of God-given seeds is calculated based on its star realm level and 100,000 years of output income. For example, a certain God-given seed, The annual income of the Star Realm is 15,000 raw crystals, so in 100,000 years it is 1.5 billion, then the corresponding value of the god-given seeds is 1.5 billion raw crystals."

"The leasing of zero-level source points can easily cost tens of billions. It is a large-scale transaction. There are many things that can be negotiated. It is difficult to describe it in one sentence. I have also heard that it has never been involved, and I don't know the twists and turns involved."

I asked Gansui and Alocasia before coming here, but the two old spiders couldn't explain either.

The situation in the Source Point star system rental is indeed too complicated, and there are so many factors that affect the rental that it is impossible to explain clearly.

Gansui and Alocasia's advice is to inquire more, understand more, be more familiar with the market, stay calm and not act easily.

There is no rush in this matter.

Long Bai asked no more questions.

Dudou raised his paw and asked: "Stylobora, where are the star spiders? I heard that there is a base for manufacturing star spiders in the White Crystal Galaxy. The price must be cheap, right?"

Stylus Spot: "This situation is more complicated..."

Bai Wei said dissatisfied: "Zuban, everything here is complicated and cannot be explained clearly."

Zhuban said weakly: "This is really complicated, and I don't know much about it."

Dudou questioned: "Aren't you in charge of Star Spider's passenger transportation and dispatching work?"

Stylus Spot: "That's right. I'm not responsible for Star Spider sales."

Pillar changed his mind and asked: "Then which level of Star Spider do you plan to buy?"

Du Bean shouted: "Level 3!"

Boom!

Bai Wei knocked down the poisonous bean with her paw, thought about it, and said: "For a long time in the future, our Baiwei Chamber of Commerce should be around a second-level source point, shuttling back and forth between the nearby first-level source points, traveling merchants .”

Pillar: "That first-level star spider is barely enough!"

Dudou said quietly: "President Bai Wei, Zhuban looks down on you..."

Bai Wei asked: "What about the second level? The one with 50 to 100 times the speed of light."

"Level 2?!"

Tsubasa: "With or without world space?"

Bai Wei: "Without space."

Stylus Spot: "How many insects can we carry? Do we need a small warehouse?"

Bai Wei: "My Phytolacca space has begun to transform into 'Huan', and my Star Spider must be as light as possible."

Zhuban: "Oh! You are indeed my most powerful elder Bai Wei!"

"In that case, that's okay! The cheaper one can be won at 2 to 3 billion, but if it's expensive, it'll cost more than 10 billion."

Pillar suppressed his mental power and said: "Star spider trading has a lot of room for manipulation. President Bai Wei, ask Qiye for a discount."

"Also, a Star Spider is composed of tens of thousands of parts, and is produced separately by a large number of Zerg chambers of commerce and human chambers of commerce. General chambers of commerce, like the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, order parts through various channels. The components, when assembled, become a self-produced Star Spider.”

"The most professional is the Moluan Chamber of Commerce, a long-established chamber of commerce from the Dawn Galaxy. Its main business is the production and manufacturing of star spiders and starships. It masters the manufacturing technology of core components. Its performance is stable, strong and durable, and the price is okay..."

Zhuban concluded: "Either look for Qiye and buy it at a low price. Or look for Moluan Chamber of Commerce to buy it."

Bai Wei: "I understand!"

The other insects continued to ask questions to Pillar Spot, asking questions here and there to learn about various situations in the White Crystal Galaxy.

More than a thousand bugs left one after another on the Star Spider and went to the first-level source galaxy near the Honeysuckle star system.

Send away the last batch of insects,

Bai Wei activated her night ability, held up a black shield, and enveloped the insects.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, the rent for the second-level source point is too high. Are you sure you want to take root in the second-level source point? I think, let's work around it and temporarily find a relatively prosperous first-level source point to settle down. The limited wealth should be concentrated to do other more important things. For example, leasing zero-level source points..."

Long Bai shook his tentacles gently.

Mo Lan hesitated and said, "Should we ask somewhere else?"

Long Bai said: "First, those who live in the secondary source points are big forces that have developed for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. They are rich and numerous. We want to trade queen honey and genetic preparations. If we want to make it big, , it is best to take root at the secondary source point, which is convenient.”

"Second, in an environment with ultra-high concentration of force, force plants grow better and faster. Although our team has a small number of insects, we have a lot of God-given force plants. Using source matter gems, we can quickly evolve by half. Star Realm. After the Half-Star Realm, the demand for the Force itself is high. Taking all things into consideration, it is not a loss to take root in the secondary source point."

Long Bai: "Third, there is no rush about the zero-level source point. Let's not think about it for now. Step by step, first focus on improving the existing force plants, first do a good job in the trade of queen honey and genetic preparations, and make it bigger .”

Bai Wei: "Oh——"

Bai Wei: "Then let's go to the Sheep's Hoof star system to see the situation first?"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles: That’s what it means

Hongtao raised her claws and said: "Longbai Ant King, I think we can try to rent the zero-level source point. What I mean is, let's take a look at the authority of President Shuigan first..."

Long Bai's eyes narrowed, "What should I say?"

Hong Tao: "First of all, you may not have noticed that Kansui, Alocasia, and Shuigan are spiders that left their home planet in the same batch. They are close friends, but they are just close friends and have no biological relationship."

"Second, according to my observation, most flame spiders are greedy and have no regard for friendship in the face of big interests."

"Third, it is impossible for Gansui and Alocasia to share information about the White Tower Alliance with Shuigan. Shuigan definitely doesn't know, what is the relationship between Longbai Ant King, Gansui and Alocasia, let alone you?" Where do the third-level materials come from.”

"You can use these three points to cleverly set up a situation and take advantage of it."

spider:"……"

Nandi asked humbly: "Hongtao, did you come to the conclusion that the Flame Spider is not affectionate by observing the poisonous beans?"

Du Dou said angrily: "Nonsense! Hong Tao has been hanging out with you and Bai Wei for the longest time. He clearly came to the conclusion by observing you two! Or..."

Du Bean turned around and glared at Stud, his eight eyes flashing with scarlet light.

Stylizedus was furious and raised his paw to hit him.

"Quiet!"

Bai Wei struck with her claws, suppressing the poisonous beans and column spots, and said solemnly: "Hongtao, I think your idea is good, continue talking."

Hong Tao: "It's very simple. You can use words and actions to confuse and mislead. Then bring out some good things appropriately to make President Shui Gan mistakenly think that we have a lot of valuable materials from the mother planet in our claws. Use visible benefits , arousing the greed in its heart..."

…

…

Half a month later,

Long Bai, Mo Lan and their party set off again, embarking on the Star Spider to the Sheep's Hoof star system.

…

Almost all living planets built by the Zerg civilization are divided into regular hexagonal territories with a side length of 100 kilometers.

A large lake was opened in the center of the territory.

This approach has three advantages: first, it maximizes the use of land; second, the climate is stable and natural disasters such as drought, floods, and hail are less likely to occur; third, numbered partitions facilitate management.

…

The Star Spider stops at the Saddleleaf star system, North 9999.

Long Bai used the beast to transform into a giant ant, carrying insects in his abdomen, traveling through space, teleporting on his way, and soon arrived at South Area 1001.

A busy square bustling with insects.

Cookie-cutter standard buildings.

"President Bai Wei, you and I can just go up and ask. The other insects will rest where they are and wait for news."

Long Bai gave the order.

The insects looked serious and agreed.

Walking into the door of the Chamber of Commerce, a purple flame spider immediately greeted him.

"Are you two together?"

"A fellow flame spider, come from afar? My name is Yihua..."

On Bai Wei's forehead, the pokeweed divine pattern flashed, and the space in front of her rippled slightly.

"Hello. My name is Bai Wei, and this is the Longbai Ant King. We came from the Qiming Star System, and the two presidents Gan Sui and Alocasia entrusted us to bring some local products to President Shui Gan."

- Souvenirs?

The purple flame spider named Yi Hua was confused for a second and then immediately realized the implication of Bai Wei's words.

"President Shui Gan is on the third floor. Follow me."

The dome of the three-story hall is dotted with shining gems of various colors. Behind a star pillar with a diameter of more than three meters, a phantom flame spider lies motionless, seemingly in a dormant state.

On the left side of the star pillar is a large star platform for transmitting transactions.

On the right side of Star Spider is a holographic projection technology device.

Working in the White Crystal Galaxy is not as leisurely as in the Qiming Galaxy. There are matters to be dealt with every day and you have to be on guard at all times.

Shui Gan woke up naturally and saw that they were two half-star-level bugs. He stood up slowly and unhurriedly.

"President Shui Gan, this is Bai Wei, who has the Phytolacca divine pattern. He came from the Qiming star system. He said he was introduced by President Gan Sui and Alocasia...?"

Yihua spoke quickly and introduced the situation.

Shui Gan, who was originally indifferent, perked up when he heard this and asked: "Phytolacca divine pattern?"

The pokeweed divine pattern on Bai Wei's forehead flashed, her double pupils shone slightly, and the space in front of her rippled slightly.

"I've met President Shui Gan!"

"I've met President Shui Gan. My name is Long Bai."

Bai Wei and Long Bai greeted politely.

"oh--"

Shui Gan stared at Bai Wei and asked, "You condensed the star core on the eyes? And combined the pokeweed divine pattern into it?"

"Yes. Eleventh pupil star core."

Bai Wei said, and a pea-sized emerald gem appeared out of thin air and floated towards Shuigan.

"These are some local specialties we brought from our home planet. President Shui Gan, have you been away from your home star for many thousands of years? You have a taste of home."

- Souvenirs?

——Is there really a souvenir?

Shui Gan and Yi Hua were stunned at the same time.

This is a world gem!

Where did the idiot come from?

Are there any special gifts like this?

Are you two trying to send me in?

Shui Gan glanced at Yihua, waved his paw, and said righteously: "Since it was introduced by two old friends Gan Sui and Alocasia, I will naturally take care of you. There is no need for specialties from the home planet. No need. No need. Bai Wei, put it away quickly."

Shui Gan waved his paw again and said: "Yi Hua, you have nothing to do here, go down."

"oh--"

"I didn't see anything..."

Yihua muttered and stepped back.

"The star core is condensed on the eyes, with eleven pupils."

"Interesting...interesting...thoughtful..."

Shui Gan watched helplessly as Bai Wei took the alexandrite back into space, choked, pondered, and asked in confusion:

"Why did you come from the Qiming Star System? Where is President Luo Li? With the Phytolacca Divine Pattern, shouldn't it be that you came out of the mother star and were directly sent to the White Crystal Galaxy for development?"

"I didn't join the Luoji Chamber of Commerce..."

Bai Wei explained vaguely and said: "I have established a Baiwei Chamber of Commerce myself. It is still a third-level small chamber of commerce and plans to develop in the Fengyan Star Territory. Please take care of it, President Shuigan!"

"..."

Shui Gan choked again. After thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "Gansui and Alocasia asked you to come to me? Is there something wrong?"

Bai Wei: "Two things: The first thing is that there are many divine seeds coming from the Qiming star system. President Gansui and Alocasia would like to trouble you to help get 10 source of gems and arrange their transportation there. .”

Bai Wei said, took two steps forward, activated the Star Network account, and said: "To get the goods from the Chamber of Commerce at a low price, you need 1.5 billion raw crystals. In addition, you will pay 10 million raw crystals for your hard work. A total of 1.51 billion, they are all here with me. I transfer Here it is, and I would like to say thank you on behalf of the two presidents Shui Gan and Hai Yu."

"..."

Shui Gan said: "It's a small matter."

Transfer completed.

Bai Wei continued: "The second thing is that after Longbai Ant King and I find a place to take root, we will leave an address with you, President Shuigan, so that other friends can contact you, including President Gansui and Alocasia."

Bai Wei added: "If an insect comes to you to inquire about me or the Longbai Ant King, just tell it."

"no problem."

Shui Gan asked: "Excuse me, where do you plan to take root?"

Bai Wei tentatively asked: "Isn't the rent of the territory of the Sheep's Hoof Galaxy very expensive?"

"The average force concentration is 2.12, which is enough to take root in the realm of dominance. Overall, the annual rent is between 100,000 and 250,000 raw crystals..."

Shui Gan said, then changed the topic and asked: "Are you two together?"

Bai Wei: "Let's do a little business together. Please take care of me, President Shuigan."

Bai Wei thought, and three gene agents appeared out of thin air and flew slowly in front of Shui Gan.

The metal preparation tube with the logo of the Tribulus Chamber of Commerce has been opened.

Unscrew one,

Inside are light blue beads with a diameter of about 1.8 centimeters, each containing an integer of 10 beads.

Bai Wei explained: "This is a water-based ability independently developed by Longbai Ant King, called 'refining'. It can purify the original food and make this high-purity, high-stability 'Ant King Bead' .”

"It sounds good! It looks good too..."

Shui Gan looked at Long Bai, examined it carefully, then thought about it, thought of the key question, and asked: "How is the loss?"

Long Bai: "Temporarily, it is less refined than human technological equipment, between 4% and 5%, but as the ability grows and evolves, it can gradually catch up."

Shui Gan lost interest as soon as he heard this, and said pertinently: "The gross profit margin of the God-given force food transaction does not exceed 10%. For the time being, this business has no profit at all. However, as an elemental ability, it has good depth. The potential for development. It may be developed into a profitable business in the future.”

Shui Gan: "I can help register and apply to the Baijing Chamber of Commerce to list it as a special ability."

After saying that, he waved his paw to signal.

Long Bai stood in front of the star pillar and opened the Star Network account.

After Shuigan Yitong's operation on the opposite side, the original energy light screen popped up a character interface: "Application for Special Ability Certification"

Long Bai's name, race, evolution level and other information are automatically loaded.

Two options below:

[Ability type]

Long Bai asked: "President Shuigan, what does ability type mean?"

Shui Gan: "Choose the Force to evolve."

Long Bai did as he was told.

【Ability Target】

Long Bai asked again: "President Shui Gan, the ability goal is to choose 'Force Warrior', right?"

Shuigan: "Of course."

Long Bai chooses Force Warrior

[Ability description]

Long Bai's mental power was controlled by his mind, and he input information slightly clumsily and laboriously, describing his 'refining' ability.

Genetic agents are processed through equipment manufactured by human technology, and there is almost no threshold. Many large-scale chambers of commerce are engaged in the processing of force food and the sales of genetic agents.

A highly competitive industry.

The crucial zero loss and refining separation does not need to be made public to avoid attracting jealousy and hostility from other chambers of commerce.

Just make a fortune quietly.

…

In the Baijing Galaxy, the Baijing Chamber of Commerce has set up special 'commercial areas' in all first-, second- and third-level sources, and built unified shops. Chambers of commerce, large and small, can rent shops and use them as fixed trading points for purchasing or selling. goods.

In the current era, the entire Zerg civilization is encouraging Zerg warriors to develop abilities that help the evolution and growth of force plants or Zerg warriors.

Get a 'Special Ability Certification' and get discounts on renting shops in any commercial area of ​​the Baijing Chamber of Commerce.

"That's all right. I'm keeping these three genetic agents. You can declare them in the Sheep's Hoof Galaxy. I'll pass them over to you when I have time."

After completing the registration, Shuigan briefly explained: "After the certification is passed, your StarNet account will naturally have corresponding information. If you need to rent a store for business, you will be automatically discounted based on your ability rating."

"I'm troubling President Shui Gan."

Long Bai thanked him and asked solemnly: "President Shui Gan, in the Fengyan Star Territory, which secondary source point has relatively cheaper land rent?" (End of Chapter)
