Astral Cockroach

#194 - Sympathy (Chapter 10)

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress hesitated for a long time before inquiring, "Banbu, I also heard that your Chijian Princess is advancing to become a Roach King."

Banbu moved its antennae and replied, "Yes."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress asked, "Is the probability of success high?"

Banbu said, "A fifty percent chance."

"That's pretty good." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress said with some envy, "Princess Qiufeng's situation is similar to Princess Chijian's, her age is slightly older. If she could buy a Longevity Peach, the probability of successfully advancing to become a Roach King would exceed fifty percent."

Longevity Peaches only bloom and bear fruit once every nine years, and each time only 33 are produced. For alien races outside the Fire Roach Kingdom, being able to buy one is a luxury.

Banbu asked, "Isn't Princess Qiufeng always planning to advance to become a Roach King?"

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress said, "Qiufeng County has not yet produced an excellent warrior who can replace Princess Qiufeng's position, so Princess Qiufeng dares not take the risk. Every year she goes to Longevity County to visit the Longevity Roach King, but the Longevity Roach King has always refused to sell a Longevity Peach."

"We are all Roach race, and we live next to each other, your Longevity Roach King is too unfeeling."

Perhaps, the selling price of Longevity Peaches is 2 million origin stones, which is a bit too cheap.

"..." Banbu choked for a while, and asked, "Does Princess Qiufeng have any arrangements for land reclamation and expansion? I mean your Cliff Cypress Mountains."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress said, "She will send 300 of her clan to be stationed in the Cliff Cypress Mountains for a year. In addition, every late autumn and winter, she will gather a large number of subordinates to clear out the beast warriors wandering in my territory."

This approach is not very meaningful. Banbu's Jinping Mountains are almost abandoned, the Jinping Mountains are completely abandoned, and the mountains northwest of the Cliff Cypress Mountains are also completely abandoned. Beast warriors who have been expelled due to land reclamation and expansion will wander around, they hate the Roach race and are waiting for an opportunity to launch revenge attacks.

There is only a thousand days of being a thief, there is no reason to guard against thieves all day long.

The stationed clan warriors will leave sooner or later, at most staying for two or three years.

Hatred is lifelong, but the trouble of beast warriors cannot be eliminated in two or three years.

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress asked, "Banbu, what are you going to do? Your Red Roach tribe has so few members, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Banbu said, "It should be sending a few Mountain Lord level warriors to be stationed in Lizhu Peak to help guard it. The terrain of Jinping Mountains is complex, and it is too troublesome to clear out, I am afraid that there are not enough warriors to gather. I am more miserable than you."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress sighed, "I am suffering because of you."

Banbu said, "The geographical environment is bestowed by the Natural True God, I am also very helpless!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this upsetting thing." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress asked, "Banbu, did Princess Chijian buy that Longevity Peach for 2 million origin stones? Your Red Roach tribe must be very poor now, right?"

"..." Banbu truthfully said, "The origin stones were collected by everyone together, almost emptying the entire tribe's savings."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress said, "Then your blood thorn seeds produced this year will definitely not be easy to sell within the clan, right?"

Banbu replied, "Yes."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress really knows how to seize opportunities, and immediately said, "I can help you deal with a batch, the price is not high, just the same as the merchant caravan. Banbu, you calculate, selling it to me, you can earn an extra batch of origin stones."

That makes sense.

Banbu pondered and thought about it.

The unit price of blood thorn seeds is low, not to mention warriors with God-given seeds, even some wealthy Mountain Lords have the financial resources to buy them.

There is definitely no worry about selling blood thorn seeds, even if they are not sold out, they can be well preserved until next spring and sold to the merchant caravan.

Rain bamboo fruit may be a bit troublesome!

High quality, coupled with the large size of a single fruit, will inevitably lead to a high unit price, and ordinary warriors do not have the financial resources to buy it.

Preservation is also a problem.

Banbu glanced at Mountain Lord Flower Cypress: the Black and White Flower Roach tribe sits on mines, and always looks like they have a lot of money, why not sell them at a high price?

"Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, does your Princess Qiufeng need a batch of origin force food that strengthens the physique?"

"No! Banbu, the most precious thing about blood thorn seeds is the strengthening effect of increasing the efficiency of origin force utilization that it comes with. The earlier you get this effect, the greater the benefit. Our Black and White Flower Roach tribe has thousands of young warriors, Princess Qiufeng is very willing to spend origin stones to buy them."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress saw that Banbu showed signs of loosening, and said, "Banbu, your Red Roach tribe may be poor for several years, right? First of all, it makes sense in terms of emotion. Secondly, if you sell it to me, you will earn 2 extra origin stones for each blood thorn seed, why not do it?"

Banbu said, "Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, I should be at Lizhu Peak, waiting for you to visit me."

"Huh?" Mountain Lord Flower Cypress was a little confused.

Banbu said, "Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, we are neighbors across the river, we should interact more and become familiar with each other. As Roach race, we should also help each other, right?"

"Yes." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress was even more confused.

Banbu said, "Come on, Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, go to Lizhu Peak, there is a surprise."

Banbu has successively obtained various God-given seeds, not only has he taken it lightly, but the clan warriors are no longer as shocked and curious as before, and they are no longer so enthusiastic about publicizing it.

The news of the Rain Bamboo God-given seed only spread in the Iron Saber Mountains, and many warriors in the neighboring Water Banyan Mountains and Red Tangerine Mountains are still unaware.

In the social form of origin stones, information is blocked. Without deliberately publicizing it, the Black and White Flower Roach tribe is even more unaware.

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress was very puzzled by Banbu's words, and asked, "What surprise? Could it be that the emerald bamboo has increased production? Or are there so many blood thorn seeds that you can't sell them all?"

Banbu flapped its wings and took off, saying, "The journey is not far, you will understand when you go."

"Okay." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress shook its antennae, used wireless communication to notify nearby warriors to help take care of the territory, and then flapped its wings and took off, following Banbu.

...

Banbu led Mountain Lord Flower Cypress and landed directly next to the Rain Bamboo, so that it could observe it up close.

It's not that Banbu is showing off.

After all, it involves a large transaction with an amount exceeding 10,000 origin stones. Seeing it with your own eyes and personally appraising it is the most appropriate.

"Banbu, this is... another God-given seed?"

"Banbu, who is it? I feel like it will hurt me! Hurry up and drive it away."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress and the Rain Bamboo Tree Spirit simultaneously transmitted information to Banbu.

"It is Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, it is my friend, it will not hurt you." Banbu transmitted a soothing thought to the Rain Bamboo, and at the same time introduced to Mountain Lord Flower Cypress:

"This is the Rain Bamboo God-given seed, it will bloom and bear fruit this year without accident. Upper-middle quality, the number of bamboo fruits cannot be determined, judging from the aura, it should be some kind of effect that strengthens the physique."

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress vaguely sensed that the Rain Bamboo Tree Spirit was transmitting information to Banbu, and knew in its heart that it was its rash intrusion into the territory that caused the Tree Spirit's panic.

Locking onto a bamboo pole, it scanned with mental power, confirmed that Banbu's description was correct, and then quickly retreated, leaving the territory range of the God-given seed.

"Another God-given seed!" Mountain Lord Flower Cypress still couldn't break free from the shock.

"Lizhu Peak has abundant origin force, the probability of giving birth to God-given seeds is relatively high." Banbu himself didn't quite believe this excuse, and shirked responsibility, saying, "The Natural True God is favored."

"The Natural True God is especially favored." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress said dejectedly, "You and I are only separated by a river, why doesn't the Natural True God favor the Cliff Cypress Mountains?"

Banbu changed the subject and asked, "Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, are you interested in buying a batch of bamboo fruits?"

"Of course." Mountain Lord Flower Cypress finished speaking and added, "It needs to be based on the specific strengthening effect to determine how much to buy."

For the effect of strengthening basic physique, it is easy to appear precious and rare sky-high varieties, and it is also easy to appear chicken rib varieties that do not greatly help growth.

Banbu moved its antennae, expressing understanding.

Mountain Lord Flower Cypress asked, "Banbu, what kind of bamboo is it? The bamboo pole looks really beautiful."

"A high-quality bamboo variety obtained by hybridization, named Rain Bamboo." Banbu said, "Mountain Lord Flower Cypress, my reserves of origin stones may not be enough, can you pay the deposit first?"
