Natural God's Gift
#136 - Selecting tree species for management
Under the tutelage of Clover, the Seed of the Mangrove Tree God quickly gained a basic understanding of the Force Star Realm and adapted to its identity.
Compared to the Morning Glory, the Mangrove Tree was much more steady, simply standing silently on Calabash Beach, quietly watching Angelica and Bai Zhi work in the Shell Pond.
Meanwhile, Clover and Angelica both broke through to the initial stage of the Eighth Age Warrior during the hottest time of summer.
Clover chose a Phoebe zhennan tree as its Eighth Age Life Seed. Its fruit's effect was to resist aging in the Life system. Although it couldn't extend the lifespan of a Zerg warrior, it could prolong the time before a Zerg warrior aged, making it an absolutely top-tier plant seed.

At the same time, it also applied for a top-tier plant seed, a Camphor tree, for Angelica as its Eighth Age Life Seed. The effect of the Camphor tree's fruit was to invigorate and strengthen the Spirit system, enhancing the insect's mental will, and its value was no lower than the Life system's Phoebe zhennan tree.
This summer was Clover's third summer since birth. During the first summer, it hadn't evolved yet and simply guarded the Seed of the Lucky Clover God.
During the second summer, it guarded the Seed of the Rapeseed Flower God, and later, it was taken by the Green Land Master to travel for a month or two.
This year, Clover wasn't guarding the Seed of the God, but it wasn't idle either. As it broke through to the Eighth Age, the Seed of the Rapeseed Flower God and the Seed of the Date Palm Tree God also awakened their soul consciousness one after another.
To educate the Seeds of the Gods, Clover spent half of its day squatting under these Seeds of the Gods, taking turns teaching them about the knowledge of the Force Star Realm on a daily basis.
Besides this, it and Bai Zhi also had to weave spider silk bags every day to supplement the household income. Angelica also planted maple trees for the Green Maple Lord in his woodland to earn Force Stones. Several small insects were working hard to prepare for the autumn trade.
One day, on Clover's clover lawn, the classmates from Hundred Fruit Forest rarely gathered together. Everyone spread out various fruits harvested from their respective territories on the lawn, happily eating, drinking, chatting, and gathering.
Of course, they were still just small warriors, and their own territories hadn't produced anything yet. Apart from the Force food needed for their own evolution, the few Force foods they had were earned through hard work with their private money, and they couldn't bear to hold a grand banquet here. So, they ate ordinary fruits and dried fish meat.
Among the many spiders who took classes in the kingdom the year before last, Accumulating Snow was the first to break through to the Intermediate Warrior stage. After more than a year of growth, it had reached the Third Age Intermediate Warrior stage, which was considered relatively fast evolution among spiders.
Spirited Spring and Stonecrop, for example, evolved to the Second Age Intermediate Warrior stage. Among the other spiders, except for Ragweed, Bai Zhi, and Clover, all had evolved into Intermediate Warriors.
As the degree of evolution increased, the time and difficulty of later evolution also increased. The difference in evolution between each other would also become smaller and smaller. A mere one or two years of age difference was nothing here.
The spiders chatted with each other about their experience in managing their territories. Accumulating Snow, as the spider with the longest experience in managing a territory, taught the other spiders various small tree-planting techniques.
Although many techniques were taught by the Hackberry Master in class, they didn't go into detail about the specific management characteristics of certain tree species' forests. Accumulating Snow's lecture still had many things worth learning from.
The tree species I manage are mainly Masson pines. I have planted many Masson pines in my territory.
Planting Masson pines also requires experience and skills. Masson pines need to choose sunny places, and each one needs to have a certain amount of growing space, so each Masson pine needs to be at least twenty meters apart.
According to Hackberry Master's teachings, some herbaceous plants can be planted in moderation within the growing range of large trees.
I planted auspicious grass under the Masson pines..."
Most Zerg warriors, from the moment they awaken their Force, naturally favor certain plants, and this is a difficult instinct to change.
But as a kingdom with a long heritage, it certainly doesn't want its own warriors to stagnate in their evolution because they like a certain low-yielding plant.
So, they cleverly use the symbiotic relationship, allowing them to plant their favorite plants in moderation while choosing high-yielding plants to manage, so as not to cause reverse psychology.
Of course, there are also some Zerg warriors who are indeed stubborn and only willing to nurture the plants they like as their Life Seed. For these insects, the kingdom basically gives up on cultivating them, providing for them until they reach the Intermediate Warrior stage.
In all likelihood, they are left to fend for themselves.
Fortunately, Flame Spiders are born with wisdom, and there are very few such stubborn spiders. Most of them will listen to the kingdom's arrangements and choose the plants that are most helpful to their growth as their Life Seed.
Accumulating Snow said, "Spirited Spring chose Pinus tabuliformis as its main tree species, and Stonecrop chose Spruce."
Bai Zhi, Clover, what trees do you plan to choose as your main tree species?"
"Ah?" Bai Zhi, who was engrossed in eating sea plugs, heard a spider calling her, raised her head, and looked around blankly.
Accumulating Snow repeated her words again.
Clover thought for a moment: "I like clover, and I don't know if the kingdom will let me plant clover."
Accumulating Snow shook her pedipalps: "That's definitely not possible. According to the kingdom's arrangements, they will definitely choose a large tree for you as your main tree species. You can plant clover under the tree like me."
Clover was a little hesitant: "Then I'll wait for the Green Maple Lord and the others to choose a tree species for me before I decide."
Accumulating Snow: "It's said that Intermediate Warriors start managing their own territories, but you can almost start planting some trees now. After all, many large trees take several years, or even more than ten years, to grow."
Water Plantain suggested: "Don't you have the Seed of the Date Palm Tree God? You can choose the Date Palm tree as your main tree species, and it just happens to be a large tree."
Clover shook its pedipalps: "I already have a Seed of the Date Palm Tree God. Managing the Date Palm tree again will only increase the possibility of obtaining the Seed of the Date Palm Tree God.
And the Force food produced by one Seed of the Date Palm Tree God is already enough for me to eat. Even if I produce more from another Seed of the Date Palm Tree God, I won't be able to finish it. There's no need."
The spiders were envious but also felt that Clover was right. They cultivated large tree species, but the result was still to obtain a Seed of the God. Since they already had one, why cultivate more?
Spirited Spring said: "Don't worry too much. Fir, Pine, Oak, Banyan, Cypress, are all top-tier large trees.
Durian, Jackfruit, Chestnut, Persimmon, also have very good yields. Anyway, the kingdom has plenty of top-tier plant species."
Water Plantain: "It would be great if we could manage the Sea Soul Fir, Chinquapin, and Soul Bean species.
These are the most valuable tree species. If we could cultivate a Seed of the God, we would reach the peak of insect life in minutes."
The spiders rolled their eyes: "Chinquapin is fine, but Sea Soul Fir and Soul Bean are Soul-type plants. Every seed is strictly controlled.
Now the kingdom doesn't have enough insect claws. If they were planted on a large scale, and the seeds were taken out of the kingdom by birds or something, that would be a crime against the kingdom!"
Clover thought for a moment: "Sea Soul Fir is a top-secret tree species of the kingdom, but Redwood isn't, right? I'll ask the Green Maple Lord for a bag of Redwood seeds after I reach the Ninth Age."
"Clover, you want to plant Redwood? That's good. Redwood seeds are good for strengthening the lungs in the Water system, and they are very effective in extending underwater time.
Many Zerg warriors in the kingdom have nurtured Redwood Life Seeds. This Force food is especially popular among the Rainbow Flame Spider tribe."
Clover nodded its pedipalps: "Yes, that's what I was thinking too."
As spiders of the kingdom, they can't only think about themselves, but also consider the other five Flame Spider tribes. If they only nurture Life Seeds related to the Wood system, what will the other tribes eat?
Although many Force foods can be traded over to eat, what if they can't be traded? Would they all starve to death?
The reason why the five Flame Spider tribes work so hard to bring Force food back from the continent and sell it to the original Flame Spiders at a fair price, allowing the original Flame Spiders to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor in the kingdom, isn't it to use them as a last resort in times of desperation?
This way, even if they can't trade for Force food that matches them outside, they can come back and buy it from the original Flame Spiders at a fair price.
Otherwise, why would they run back once a year? Wouldn't it be better to just sell all the goods outside and then come back?
"Bai Zhi, what about you? What tree species are you going to plant?"
Bai Zhi: "I'm going to plant Jackfruit."
"Jackfruit is good, it's also considered a large tree."
Bai Zhi was puzzled: "Isn't Jackfruit the one that produces the largest fruit and the most Force food? If I have a Jackfruit Life Seed, then I'll have endless Force food to eat."
"Uh — ." The spiders were speechless, this glutton.
Accumulating Snow said somewhat awkwardly: "That's not wrong!"
The spiders wisely skipped this topic and continued eating, drinking, and chatting.
