All goods have been handed over.

Chonglou said, "Banbu, you've cultivated your golden silk bamboo well. You must have harvested quite a few bamboo seeds last year, right?"

"I don't plan to sell golden silk bamboo anymore," Banbu said. "The emerald bamboo seeds obtained by hybridizing golden silk bamboo can be sold."

Without waiting for Chonglou to reply, Banbu continued, "If you sow emerald bamboo, it will produce bamboo fruit. If you sow the bamboo fruit again, the plant that grows will no longer be 'emerald bamboo'. It's very poor."

Chonglou was stunned and said, "Is this similar to the hybrid rice on the Myriad World Continent?!"

Banbu said, "They are both herbaceous plants, the same principle."

Chonglou was very clever and immediately understood Banbu's intention: to control golden silk bamboo, only sell emerald bamboo, and monopolize bamboo seed production.

Monopoly is good! It might be a stable business with profits no less than a God-given seed.

"What's the price?" Chonglou asked.

Banbu said, "I sell it to the caravan for 0.5 origin stones. The price your caravan can sell it for, and how much you can earn, depends entirely on your ability."

Chonglou asked, "Banbu, do you plan to sell bamboo seeds to other caravans as well?"

Banbu said, "Only to you and Yuzhu. You have ways to sell a large quantity, right?"

Chonglou said, "That's right, it's very simple. Banbu, as you know, caravans traveling around like to use precious plant seeds as gifts. They're cheap and pleasing."

"The fire oil pine seeds your caravan gave me are indeed quite good," Banbu agreed, and asked, "Can I provide your caravan with 2000 seeds this year?"

"Yes," Chonglou continued. "1000 origin stones. Do you need to buy anything else?"

"No!" Banbu shook his antennae and said, "Mountain Lord Chonglou, I have a new proposal for seed sales."

Chonglou was puzzled and asked, "What proposal? Do you want to collect a deposit for this too?"

"Not a deposit," Banbu said. "I'll give you the seeds first. You take them to sell, and after a year, you pay the remaining origin stones for what you've sold. If you don't sell them, return the seeds to me and I'll destroy them centrally."

It's the other way around, not collecting origin stones first!

Chonglou pondered for a long time before understanding Banbu's intention, and praised, "Banbu, you are the most... incredibly clever person I've ever met! I will use this model to sell as many seeds as possible to other caravans."

"It's a guaranteed profit, is my proposal acceptable?" Banbu chuckled and said, "In the future, there will be more new bamboo seeds similar to emerald bamboo. With just this business, we can make a fortune!"

Chonglou sighed again, "A wonderful proposal! You are a genius!"

"Hehe," Banbu smiled smugly again and called out, "Datou, take 1000 emerald bamboo seeds and give them to the caravan."

"Okay," Datou directed the ant colony to act.

… …

The Chonglou caravan hurried on its way at night, heading to the Iron Saber Mountains. It would also speed up its journey to reach Chijian County as soon as possible, and then promote emerald bamboo seeds and Banbu's proposed new sales model to other Rainbow Flame Spider tribes' caravans.

Being able to return unsold goods at the original price, it's hard to say whether they can make money, but they certainly won't lose money. No caravan can refuse this kind of deal.

Each caravan travels a different route, but they often gather in the prosperous territories of certain county lords and insect kings. During this time, caravans that meet will conduct equivalent exchanges, swapping goods, sharing what they have and lacking, and increasing the variety of their goods.

Banbu's proposed sales model is intended to spread layer by layer among the caravans, and then allow the sales of bamboo seeds to cover all areas suitable for growing bamboo.

… …

… …

Banbu began to distribute the various goods purchased this time.

He gave the 3000 origin stone value package to Fengling, and also took out 200 five-leaf redwood pine cones and 20 red-leaf loquats to help it grow quickly.

Banbu kept one of the two wound-healing packages worth 1000 origin stones for himself. The one for Daxiong was to strengthen his physique. He is now an L8 advanced warrior and can lay the foundation for promotion to mountain lord as soon as possible.

He gave Hongdao a 500 origin stone wound-healing package to strengthen his physique, so as to avoid any accidents when he is promoted to intermediate warrior.

Snake blood apricots are good things. Banbu gave Datou 20, Fengling and Hongdao 10 each, and kept the rest for himself.

After distributing the origin force food, the last thing left was a "super cost-effective" python patterned honeydew melon.

It's really TMD big!

Banbu felt a bit of a headache just looking at it.

He didn't dare to cut it easily. It's worth 2000 origin stones! Once it's cut open, it must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a waste.

Eating this thing is a challenge, and he has to be fully prepared.

He asked Daxiong to enter the jungle and hunt a Hooked Pattern Mountain Python to prepare the meat first.

He asked Xiangpu to eat honey and prepare the honey in advance.

Bamboo rats eat bamboo, so he cut down bamboo on the mountain in advance and cut it into pieces for preparation.

Banbu then rushed to the Iron Saber Mountains overnight and called Yan Cu Ban Mao and Pu Tao over.

Adding two more advanced warriors should make it easier.

… …

Everything was ready.

All the forces gathered in front of the cave where Banbu lived, looking forward to it.

Banbu wielded the knife and peeled off the outer shell.

The outer layer of the honeydew melon has a layer of rind, cyan in color, covered with cracked white stripes.

"The skin can also be eaten, don't waste it."

Banbu reminded first.

They all nodded or moved their antennae to show they understood.

As a direct elder, Yan Cu Ban Mao was not so polite to Banbu, and urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, cut it quickly!"

"Hehe!" Banbu gave a sinister smile.

The latest novels are available on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Two front legs waved into black shadows.

A sweet and fragrant atmosphere permeated, and a thick origin force atmosphere spread out.

Toes retracted, the melon was cut, divided into 24 pieces.

"Take it quickly! Eat it quickly! This thing must be eaten immediately after it is cut open."

"Remember to spit out the melon seeds."

Banbu urged and greeted at the same time, first picked up a piece and cut it again, divided it into two, and handed it to Xiangpu and Hongdao respectively, and said, "You two elementary warriors, eating a small piece is enough, don't be greedy."

Hongdao buried his head and gnawed wildly, imitating Banbu's tone, and sighed, "It's really TMD delicious!"

"Thank you!" Xiangpu was much more polite, like a lady from a noble family, first thanked him, and then slowly gnawed.

Yan Cu Ban Mao rushed to take a piece and gnawed it, and praised, "It's fragrant, sweet, and crisp. This taste... it is said that only the Western Continent can produce such delicious fresh fruit!"

Pu Tao, Daxiong, Rat King, etc., followed to take food.

Banbu finally picked up a piece to taste, and apart from the origin force effect, the taste was intoxicating, sweeter than any fresh fruit produced in the Fire Roach Kingdom, crispy and sweet, with a unique fruity aroma.

"Help…" Hongdao shouted.

Turning his head to look, this guy was swaying and unable to stand steady, and was struggling to climb towards the corpse of the Hooked Pattern Mountain Python.

"…" Banbu shook his antennae helplessly, and lightly flicked his front toe to flick him away and land in front of the corpse of the Hooked Pattern Mountain Python.

Hongdao gnawed wildly on the fresh meat, and then, with his six legs spread out, he fell down and fell asleep.

Banbu checked with his mental power and confirmed that it was only due to excessive consumption of physical energy and nutrients, and he fell asleep weakly, without any danger to his life, and then he felt relieved.

"Xiangpu, eat slowly," Banbu turned his head and reminded.

"I know," Xiangpu replied, he was smarter, took a few bites of honeydew melon, and immediately directed the worker bees next to him to feed him some honey to replenish his consumption.

"And you two little guys, Datou, Baizhu, if you can't finish it, just throw it away, don't force it," Banbu continued to remind.

"I understand," Datou was already exhausted, drooping his antennae, and was directing the worker ants to feed him, watching helplessly as the remaining half of the honeydew melon's origin force quickly dissipated, feeling very distressed.

"Uh…" Baizhu's front legs lost strength, his eyes rolled, and he fell down.

Daxiong took a look, picked up a bamboo block at random, threw it in front of Baizhu, and buried his head to continue gnawing.

Daxiong was huge and had a strong digestion ability. He took three pieces in a row before stopping, and lay silently on the ground, running the exercises to slowly digest and store the origin force in his meridians, and from time to time took a piece of fresh meat to eat.

Yan Cu Ban Mao, Pu Tao, and Fengling were all barely able to eat two pieces before gnawing wildly on the corpse of the Hooked Pattern Mountain Python and collapsing on the ground.

Rat King and the five bamboo rat warriors fell to the ground one after another.

Banbu ate two pieces, and he couldn't bear it a little bit. There were still 3 pieces left. He reluctantly ate half a piece before giving up.

Origin force to transform genes is not a joke. If the cell gene transformation fails, the cell dies; if the cell gene transformation is successful, it proliferates and divides.

In addition to the drastic consumption of energy and nutrients, these series of changes also require a time buffer for the newborn cells to grow. Excessive intake of origin force will instead lead to the death of a large number of newborn cells, slowing down the growth rate in the light, and endangering life in the heavy.

It is better to waste it than to force yourself to eat more.

There were still two pieces that had not been touched. He couldn't eat them, so he could only watch helplessly as the origin force dissipated.

The sweet melon pulp could not be eaten, and the melon skin was naturally scattered all over the ground, the origin force quickly dissipated, diffused, and the sweet fragrance was everywhere.

The warm night wind blew gently, and the sweet taste of honeydew melon filled the mountains and plains.
