Chapter 1170 - 741: Azure Star System_2

During the height of summer on the planet, many fruits ripen and their fragrance fills the air.

Led by Ink Orchid, Black Cory, Black Peach, Black Birch, Black Leaf, Blue Catalpa, and a group of insects rushed into the orchard to pick and inspect.

The Zhen Beast transformed into clouds, carrying other insects as they hovered low, observing the terrain.

Dragon Cypress raised his claw and pointed, saying: "That mountain looks good, let's name it Xianglan Mountain, as the main nest of our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce on Potato Leaf Star."

"Alright!"

"Got it."

Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Black Sophora, Spiked Cypress, and Giant Cypress ants agreed.

Dragon Cypress controlled the cloud mist, slowly drifting.

"Chairman White Ivy, Red Peach, you should also choose a mountain to establish roots. Just like on Twisted Blue Star, the two chambers shouldn't be too far apart, maintain a straight-line distance within 20 kilometers, so we can contact each other conveniently if needed."

White Ivy: "I'm flexible. Yellow Peach, you choose!"

After careful scrutiny and consideration, Yellow Peach raised his claw and pointed to a relatively gentle slope with a stream running through it, saying, "Over there."

Dragon Cypress, without wasting words, controlled the cloud mist to drift closer quickly.

…

After landing,

The Assistant King for Combat entered the jungle to hunt.

Other insects moved around to observe and inspect the geology.

Finally, they set out the three gold-plated large pots forged on the home planet, gathered by the riverside to eat and rest.

The next day, Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Fragrant Cypress, White Rice, White Ivy, Red Peach, and Column Spotted, seven insects together set off to survey other planets within the star system.

Twenty-six life planets are jointly managed by one level-eight chamber of commerce and eleven level-seven chambers of commerce.

Asked around in turn, whether it was renting land in the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System or leasing a zero-level origin point planet, the quotes from all chambers were similar; however, the prices weren't set in stone and could be negotiated.

With limited time, they roughly understood the situation.

Three days later,

Other insects stayed behind waiting for news.

Dragon Cypress and White Ivy went again to Block 1001 on Saddle Leaf Star.

…

The three-story main hall of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce.

Pond Silk had been waiting early.

"Chairman Pond Silk!"

Dragon Cypress and White Ivy greeted him.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King. Chairman White Ivy."

Pond Silk stood up, kindly inquiring, "How's it going? Is the territory in North District 4201 suitable? If it's unsatisfactory, I can arrange a change for you."

White Ivy: "It's fine."

Dragon Cypress: "Quite good. Very satisfied."

White Ivy remained calm and composed.

Dragon Cypress, unable to keep a poker face, asked, "Chairman Pond Silk, your application... has the information come back?"

"Of course."

"Both of the options I proposed have been approved."

Pond Silk couldn't hide his excitement and composed himself before saying, "Let's handle things one by one."

"First, regarding the 'Refinement Ability Certification,' the application has gone through. For details, you can check a star pillar yourself."

"Great!"

Dragon Cypress swiftly moved to a star pillar nearby, activating the Star Network Ability.

[Time: Year 78-Ji -139-Origin -36]

[Dragon Cypress · Giant-Headed Blind Leaf-Cutting Ant · Half Star Realm]

[Assets: ******]

[Liabilities: 0]

[Special Skill: Refinement · Level 8]

Through mind control, he expanded the 'Special Skills' section, which contained a detailed description of the abilities.

The rating of special skills ranges from level 1 to level 10, from high to low.

Being rated at level 8 is considered acceptable.

By going to a shop rented in the trading area run by the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce, the system would automatically apply a 20% discount when setting prices and making payments.

Similarly, a level 9 ability rating enjoys a 10% discount, level 7 a 30% discount, level 6 a 40% discount, and so on.

The highest level 1 offers a 90% discount, almost rent-free.

For example, the Emerald Beetle Tribe that can manufacture Primordial Crystal Stones could probably get a level 1 skill certification.

Getting an 8-level isn't too bad, and in the future, when trade grows and becomes more powerful, Dragon Cypress can go back to the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce for an upgrade.

Pond Silk saw Dragon Cypress close the Star Network Account, and with a calm demeanor, said, "Luoli Chamber of Commerce acts as the intermediary, with a service fee of ten thousand Primordial Crystals..."

Dragon Cypress: "Alright! I'll transfer it to you!"

"No! No! No!"

Pond Silk saw that Dragon Cypress, this ant, was impetuous and unable to stay calm, making himself even more composed, and said slowly:

"We're all merchants making substantial transactions, so it's awkward to take such trifling amounts. Forget it!"

Dragon Cypress: "Then thank you, Chairman Pond Silk."

—— Hmm.

—— Heh heh.

—— A polite little ant~

Pond Silk paused for a moment, adjusted and adopted a serious, formal tone, and got to the main point, saying:

"After communicating with Chairman Shuixian of Phoenix Eye Seat, the two proposals I put forward have both passed the review. Most importantly, Chairman White Ivy possesses the Shanglu Divine Pattern; by going through the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce accounts, a 5% discount is also approved."

Dragon Cypress: "That's great!"

White Ivy: "..."

Pond Silk asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Chairman White Ivy, have you discussed it? Between the two proposals, which one will you choose?"

Dragon Cypress: "The first one! Rent for ten thousand years!"

Pond Silk followed by saying, "A strict requirement is that the down payment cannot be less than 50%... How much do you plan to pay, and how much will you borrow?"

Dragon Cypress: "Full price!"

"Great!"

Pond Silk looked at White Ivy.

White Ivy asked, "Should I first sign a contract for the origin point lease with Dragon Cypress Ant King?"

"Yes."

Pond Silk stood behind the largest star pillar and began operating.

Dragon Cypress and White Ivy stepped forward together.

A pretty simple contract,

The general content was that White Ivy would lease the zero-level origin point galaxy numbered 311034781 to Dragon Cypress for three hundred billion for ten thousand years.

After signing the contract,

Dragon Cypress transferred the gathered funds to White Ivy.

Then, White Ivy rented the land from Pond Silk.

It was likewise a rental contract.

Close inspection revealed three very important points in the contract terms: First, after ten thousand years, upon expiration of the origin point lease, White Ivy has the priority to renew, but the renewal price goes back to five hundred billion per ten thousand years; second, if renewed after ten thousand years, the residence right in North District 4201 of Potato Leaf Star continues to be bound; third, the calculation of time starts from the contract signing date, with an additional 100 years preparation time as a bonus.
