Chapter 1237 - 763: Upgrading the Chamber of Commerce System

Dragon Cypress stayed on Cold Orchid Star, cultivating Specialized Stone Soldiers and Mountain Ants.

Black Cory, Rainbow Light, Nebula Banyan, Black Leaf, and Black Persimmon, the five Assistant Kings, were distributed in the temperate zones of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, overseeing the sandification of rocks, excavating lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and ditches, planning zones, and constructing main roads...

The intricate work required precise command,

when the ant population exceeded 1.5 million, the five Assistant Kings struggled to maintain control.

Dragon Cypress optimized the command by organizing the uncontrollable ants into groups of 12, forming 5 groups into a small team, 5 small teams into a large team, and 12 large teams—totaling 3600 ants—for each Pioneer Corps, assigning them to various barren hills.

After rigorous training, they were then assigned tasks.

Character command controlled, rock nearby sandification flatlands

Assigned tasks to them, after fulfilling the designated sandification work, they could move freely.

Trained ants worked diligently to complete their tasks.

Upon task completion, Dragon Cypress allowed them a two-month break.

After resting, they were relocated to other hills to receive new assignments.

This arrangement significantly reduced idleness and slightly improved efficiency.

…

According to Ink Orchid's plan, the cultivation on Cold Orchid Star centered on succulents.

Succulents had many advantages: drought resistance, poor soil tolerance, and easy propagation. Just plant a segment of the root stem in the soil and they'll thrive with a little water.

By training a batch of Green Ants, after simple guidance, they could effectively handle cultivation work.

However, succulents also had many drawbacks: slow growth, unable to sustain many animals, and incapable of forming a flourishing life system.

A more intricate natural forest ecosystem was needed, requiring more effort and delicate cultivation.

…

Developing Cold Orchid Star was time-consuming and laborious, taking 1800 years in total, with vegetation coverage just over 20%.

In stark contrast, Cicada Orchid Star,

With six hundred Huagi Mountain Warriors rotating shifts, consistently maintaining four hundred warriors in a state of high intensity and efficiency, quickly completed the construction of 330 ecological base stations in tropical regions, forming an 8.58 million square kilometer rainforest.

Two hundred and twenty ecological base stations situated in the temperate zones of Cicada Orchid Star's Northern and Southern Hemispheres are also nearing completion.

Life propagated, migrated, and burst through the Origin Force Barrier of the base stations, naturally spreading and expanding in all directions.

Coupled with some insect interference and seeding, surface vegetation coverage skyrocketed.

Cicada Orchid Star was rapidly evolving into a Life Planet.

Cicada Orchid Star was about to become the second qualified Life Planet in the Azure Star System.

…

…

Time Wheel spinning,

[Time: 78 Epochs - 141 Original - 431 years]

Another 600-year period was about to end.

The formal development of the Azure Star System was entering its 2400th year.

With work on Cicada Orchid Star complete, Huagi Mountain Warriors transferred to Tiger Orchid Star, immediately commencing development of its equatorial regions.

Dragon Cypress Organization, Ink Orchid, Snakebark Maple, Red Moonseed, and Ivy assisted, shutting down ecological base stations, disassembling metal pillars, and transporting them back to the 1001 Zone Square, stacking them neatly.

Spatial waves undulated,

A Star Spider with a span of over thirty meters emerged from the Star Network, smoothly docking at the square's center.

The hatch opened,

Nebula Crabapple, with Wind and Thunder Primordial Energy glistening, rushed out in excitement.

Round Cypress, Black Rice, Areca, and Column Spotted leapt down after.

They surveyed their surroundings,

Sensing with their Soul-Setting Ability, Areca raised a claw, pointing in a direction.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, and Great Leader Redwood are over there, busy transporting the ecological base stations."

"Let's go help!"

Nebula Crabapple was very eager, rushing forward first.

"Great King!"

"Second King!"

"Great Leader Redwood! You've worked hard!"

...

After exchanging greetings,

Dragon Cypress was a bit annoyed, originally planning to use Dimensional Space for transport, but Great Leader Redwood insisted on helping.

Due to the need to keep the Technological Star Core hidden, they could only use Jungle Beasts and Kirin Beasts, transporting pillar by pillar.

"Great King, I'll help you!"

Nebula Crabapple jumped onto the head of the Ice Centipede, glancing back a few times.

"Great King, I can't help much."

"..."

Dragon Cypress's expression instantly became serious.

—Why does this Assistant King have a scent of Spiked Cypress Silver Cypress?

"Nebula Crabapple, go to the Ant Nest, take two Ant Armies, hunt in the jungle, bring back a lake, banquet tonight."

"Got it, Great King!"

Nebula Crabapple responded firmly and swiftly departed.

Dragon Cypress turned to Column Spotted.

"Column Spotted, are you here to inspect the work too?"

"No... I dare not..."

Column Spotted: "Chairman White Ivy said our White Ivy Chamber of Commerce urgently needs to expand, requiring the cultivation of a batch of outstanding Dulai Flame Spider Warriors. The territory of the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System is too small, the scale can't grow, and the chances of birthing Little Warriors are minuscule."

"Chairman White Ivy's plan is to bring a batch of Little Flame Spiders here, find a suitable place in the Azure Star System for large-scale cultivation."

Areca said sheepishly: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Chairman White Ivy offered me an extra 6 million in salary to help out here for 600 years."

Column Spotted: "I'm staying too, I'll be with Areca."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress asked: "Column Spotted, if you leave, what about the Tree Blossom Shop on Palace Powder Star? Who will guard it?"

Column Spotted retorted: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, isn't there practically no need for large-scale ant migration here in the Azure Star System? Chairman White Ivy's meaning was that Fish Vine can go back."

Dragon Cypress: "Couldn't Fish Vine stay and manage the spider group?"

Column Spotted: "No, that's different! Two problems: First, Fish Vine is an Illusory Color Flame Spider; second, it can't take care of regular Little Flame Spiders."

"..."

Fish Vine can't even take care of Little Flame Spiders?

That's quite incompetent, isn't it?

Dragon Cypress had no words for that.

Column Spotted continued: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, good news, the One Fruit Bee Queen and Youlian Bee King have reached the White Crystal Star System together, and through Chairman Pond Silk's mediation, they've gotten in touch with us."

"And there's a large group of Ant Kings led by the Mountain Pepper Ant King, they're looking for you."
