Chapter 1199 - 750: Interstellar Trade Route (Part 2)_3

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, in the vast sea of stars, we meet so soon."

Mountain Maple sighed.

"I really didn't expect this..."

Dragon Cypress turned his head, casting a puzzled glance at White Ivy.

White Crystal Star System, with a diameter of 150,000 light years, has over 300 star domains, nearly 30,000 Second Level Origin Points, nearly 3 million First Level Origin Points, how did you manage to meet?

White Ivy said lightly: "Fragrant Herb Star System, the Origin Force concentration there is second only to Sheep Hoof Armor Star System, yet the land rent is only one-third of here. Many insects have settled there."

Poison Bean said: "We even found the Burying Beetle Chamber of Commerce, the Green Torreya Kingdom of our home planet, Sunlight Mountain, and Yuezuo Mountain, old friends. Both sides have initially reached a cooperative agreement."

Mountain Maple followed and said: "The Origin Force concentration in Fragrant Herb Star System is enough to support the evolution of Origin Force Plants to Transformed Habitat Realm, and there are abundant Zero Level Origin Points around, trade flourishes, and many Great Tribes have chosen to settle there."

White Ivy: "Perhaps we should have run a bit more back then, looking for Origin Points with concentrations of 1.8 level, 1.9 level, economically savvy..."

Other insects in the territory heard the news and hurried over.

Another round of friendly greetings,

Dragon Cypress invited everyone to chat in the first-floor living room of the Short-Handled Horn Tree.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, I heard you directly leased a Zero Level Origin Point and started developing it." Rattan asked enviously.

"0.6 level, a small Origin Point with 6 planets, low rent, and short lease time."

Dragon Cypress answered, then counter-asked: "Mountain Maple Leader, Rattan, your Huagi Mountain must be developing well, right? Calculating the time, you should have accumulated enough capital."

"Far from it—"

Mountain Maple said: "There's a continuous influx of young warriors leaving the home planet, and the annual welfare costs over 1 million Primordial Crystals. The tribe's Divine Grade Divine-Given Seeds and wild Divine-Given Seeds production all goes to nurturing the Little Warriors."

"We concentrate all the warriors' Life Seed output, focus all tribal resources, and bid for Primordial Gemstones, using them sequentially according to Divine Grade Divine-Given Seeds, Top-Level Divine-Given Seeds, and General Divine-Given Seeds."

"We at Huagi Mountain are relatively conservative. We prioritize cultivating Origin Force Plants."

"All warriors, after evolving to Half Star Realm, go into hibernation. Resources are prioritized for Origin Force Plants, first awaiting all existing Origin Force Plants to break through to Half Star Realm."

The insects nodded their tentacles.

This is indeed the wisest development route for an Insect Tribe emerging from the home planet into the White Crystal Star System.

Generally speaking,

Divine-Given Seeds equipped with the full quota of 3 Primordial Gemstones see an increase in the Life Level, breaking through to Half Star Realm, enhancing quality, and boosting returns by about 50%.

For example, a top-level Divine-Given when King-Level on the home planet might have an annual income of 800 Primordial Crystals; in the Universe's Star Space, at the Third Trace Realm an income of about 800 Primordial Crystals/year; at the Nine Traces Realm it doubles to 1600 Primordial Crystals/year; at Star Marks Realm it doubles again to 3200 Primordial Crystals/year.

If during the Trace Realm, with full preparation and 3 Primordial Gemstones, break through promoted Half Star Realm.

For Half Star Realm production of Divine-Given Origin Force Food quality improves, annual yield can exceed ten thousand.

Similarly,

Common Life Seed when using full quota of 3 Primordial Gemstones, Life Level undergoes metamorphic enhancement, breaking through to Half Star Realm, product yield boosts around 300%.

A Common Life Seed Plant of home planet with an annual income of 40,000 Source Stones, upon entering the Universe Starry Sky, awakens Soul Consciousness, earning 30 Primordial Crystals annually at the Third Trace Realm, 60 at the Nine Traces Realm, and 120 at Star Marks Realm.

However, using three Primordial Gemstones for strength enhancement, the quality of Half Star Realm production Origin Force Food becomes exceptionally high, annual yield can also break a thousand. Payback period is twenty to thirty thousand years, viable for resource investment.

Origin Force Plants are the most important and stable fixed assets for Insect Clan Warriors, beginning at Half Star Realm, the return yield gradually becomes plentiful.

Dragon Cypress said: "Initially, I also planned to use resources In Claw, exchanging or bidding for Primordial Gemstones, and arranging them for all Origin Force Plants. However, upon arriving at Sheep Hoof Armor Star System, I made a temporary change."

"It's not a big issue, later on, once Azure Star System is developed, surely I'll still go back to supplement all Origin Force Plants."

Mountain Maple echoed: "Xianglan Mountain Bugs are few, yields are high, slightly swapping the development sequence doesn't really impact."

Rattan raised a claw and said: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I've been given a title and duty within the tribe too."

Dragon Cypress: "What title and duty?"

Rattan: "Star Lord! From now on you can call me 'Star Lord Rattan'."

"???"

Dragon Cypress and a group of insects questioned:

——That title is quite impressive!

——Has Little Rattan made such great progress?

Rattan explained: "In the future, our Huagi Mountain will also lease or even purchase Zero Level Origin Points, managing Life Planets. The Star Lord is the insect dedicated to managing the planet."

Mountain Maple elaborated: "Our Huagi Mountain has many insects, relatively more managerial positions, divided into four management layers, the highest being three Great Leaders, followed by Leaders, Deputy Leaders, and Mountain Lords."

"Previously, a Mountain Lord was responsible for managing a mountain peak, leading a group of insects and managing a piece of territory."

"Now, upon reaching the Star Space, territorial lands are infinitely expanded, the term 'Mountain Lord' is no longer apt and is renamed to the more fitting 'Star Lord', tasked with managing a Life Planet."

"Lord of the Star Planet, abbreviated as Star Lord."

"..."

The insects choked.

So that's it...

Sounds impressive...

Thought Rattan had landed a huge position...

Just a grassroots leader after all...

But, climbing right into the leadership team, not bad...

Dragon Cypress asked: "What about Yellow Stem? What position?"

Rattan eagerly said: "Of course, he's the Leader! Boss Yellow is considered the ancestor of all Shield Grasshopper Warriors born during the Origin Force dormant era, subsequent warriors are all its juniors."

——That is as expected.

The insects weren't too surprised about this.

Shifting topics,

Dragon Cypress asked: "Chairman White Ivy, can our trade of Bee King Honey and Gene Potion cooperate with Huagi Mountain?"

"Of course! It's already negotiated."

White Ivy: "Fragrant Herb Star System has many insects and flourishing trade. We've changed plans temporarily, deciding to set up three 'Tree Blossom Shops' there — one self-operated; one cooperating with Burying Bettle Chamber of Commerce; and one with Huagi Chamber of Commerce."

"Cooperation conditions remain unchanged. First, the cooperating Chamber of Commerce needs to sell all produced Divine-Given Origin Force Food to us; second, uniformly use the 'Tree Blossom' logo."

White Ivy: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, another advantage is that we won't need to lease land in Fragrant Herb Star System anymore, nor worry about other insects prying into secrets."

Mountain Maple continued: "Our Chamber of Commerce leased land in 5 districts, territory is idle, Dragon Cypress Ant King, if you trust us, you can arrange the Assistant King and the ant colony to permanently reside in our Huagi Mountain territory."

"Good—"

Dragon Cypress solemnly agreed.

Red Peach pondered out a clever trading plan:

White Ivy, a roving merchant, sets out from Sheep Hoof Armor Star System, passing through several ordinary First Level Origin Point star systems, purchasing Divine-Given Origin Force Food, selling Bee King Honey and Gene Potion, trading all the way to Fragrant Herb Star System.

Dragon Cypress establishes a branch nest in Fragrant Herb Star System, sending the Assistant King and led the ant colony to permanently reside.

After White Ivy arrives, the stationed Assistant King commands the ant colony to process the purchased Divine-Given Origin Force Food into Bee King Honey and Gene Potion along the way.

White Ivy then departs from Fragrant Herb Star System, similarly, passing through First Level Origin Points, purchasing Divine-Given Origin Force Food, and selling Bee King Honey and Gene Potion.

Eventually returning to Sheep Hoof Armor Star System.

Back and forth between two points.

Dragon Cypress asked: "Chairman White Ivy, how did your trip go? Did you reach any cooperation agreements with several tribes?"

White Ivy: "Six! I made a rough estimate, the total annual sale of Divine-Given Origin Force Food from these Great Tribes to us could exceed 50 million Primordial Crystals!"

"Hiss—"

"Whew—"

"Tsk—"

Upon hearing this, the insects of Xianglan Mountain all took a gasp, inhaling deeply.
