Natural God's Gift
#182 - The God-given dates are really valuable!
According to the standards set by Ginkgo Lord, Four-Leaf hired Peony, and Bai Zhi hired Mudan.
With a Watanabe Flame Spider possessing earth-type talent, Four-Leaf and the others sped up their wasteland reclamation. Although developing the entire mountain peak was still a distant prospect, they could at least see progress. This feeling of starting from scratch was truly wonderful, a joy of seeing results after one's own efforts.
While developing Twin Peaks, Four-Leaf, heeding advice like a stream flowing, followed Angelica's suggestion and found a large lake within the territory to raise some fish.
At the same time, it also found some fish and pig farming technique manuals in the kingdom.
The kingdom's advanced Flame Spiders, under the arrangement of Ginkgo Lord, were gradually advancing outwards from the Kingdom Abyss as the center, hunting medium and large wild beasts that threatened the Flame Spider warriors one by one. Because the mountain lords in the kingdom often patrolled the territory, they mainly killed large carnivores when they saw them, so wild beasts were not very rampant.
While they were wandering near Twin Peaks, searching for medium and large wild beasts, Four-Leaf, who was reclaiming wasteland, sent a request to the advanced warriors hunting prey to purchase small wild boars.
The other advanced Flame Spider warriors were happy to earn an extra sum of origin stones. They successively sent over twenty wild boars to Twin Peaks at a price of three origin stones per piglet.
Four-Leaf calculated its life seed output. This year, its Morning Glory divine seed continued to keep two hundred flowers. The Chinquapin and Papaya trees also kept five hundred chinquapins and ten papayas respectively, the same as last year.
Ginkgo Lord said that intermediate warriors' life seeds could appropriately bloom and bear fruit, so it was also bolder, allowing the Rape Flower divine seed to keep a thousand flowers, producing a thousand seed pods.
The Date Palm divine seed had grown to seven or eight meters tall and could also retain a suitable amount of fruit. Artemisia gave it one hundred dates. This number was almost nothing for a large tree, purely to allow the Date Palm divine seed to adapt to the fruiting state in its first year, which reassured Four-Leaf.
At the same time, one hundred Mangrove fruits were also retained. The Mangrove tree enhances earth-type abilities, which has no effect on Four-Leaf itself.
Four-Leaf planned to use Mangrove fruit as a reward for Watanabe Flame Spider Peony, so that Peony could obtain divine origin power food, and it could save a sum of origin stones. This was a win-win situation.
As for the Long Bean divine seed, Phoebe zhennan divine seed, Purple Eggplant divine seed, and Honeysuckle divine seed, these life seeds were still too fragile and continued to suspend flowering and fruiting, waiting until they were stronger.
After calculating its life seed output and assets, Four-Leaf discovered that it had also become a wealthy spider.
This filled it with confidence, and it hired two more White-Legged Flame Spiders to reclaim wasteland together. Anyway, it didn't plan to pay origin stones, using the fire-type divine Rape Flower bean pods as wages, which the other party couldn't ask for more.
It had to hire spiders. They had too many things to do. Artemisia had to lead the bee colony to collect honey and guard everyone's life seeds. This concerned everyone's income and couldn't be delayed, so she couldn't spare the time.
Angelica had to take care of the shellfish pond. Although there hadn't been much output there for so many years, it had been managed for so many years, so it would be a pity to abandon it just like that, and it still had to be taken care of.
At the same time, Four-Leaf also raised fish and pigs at Twin Peaks, requiring Angelica to do these tasks, keeping Angelica busy.
While reclaiming wasteland, Four-Leaf also didn't forget to select plant seeds for planting in the kingdom.
Having come to Twin Peaks, Four-Leaf didn't plan to plant sunflowers and redwoods anymore. There was no problem planting these in the core area of the kingdom. The kingdom was very strict in searching for animals and wouldn't allow other animals to have the opportunity to take the seeds out.
Twin Peaks was in the wilderness, and it didn't know how many animals were hidden inside. If it dared to plant redwoods and sunflowers here, they would be rampant everywhere in less than two or three years.
If it had a Mountain Lord-level bee queen or ant queen, it would be able to control the possibility of seed leakage, but unfortunately, it didn't. Artemisia was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless primary little bee queen.
In the wilderness, the most suitable plants to plant were large-fruited species, such as pomegranates, pears, apples, and so on.
As long as the quantity of these fruits was controlled during the green fruit period, and regular inspections were carried out to guard against various omnivorous animals, there would basically be no major problems.
Four-Leaf chose the large tree Durian with Thorns as a long-term planting plant. This large tree can grow to 50-80 meters high and is one of the kingdom's top plant species. The only disadvantage is that it takes seventy or eighty years to mature and begin to bear fruit.
For the herbaceous plant that matches Durian with Thorns, Four-Leaf chose the Giant Banana, which can grow to 8-10 meters high, and the surface rhizomes can be cut down at the end of the year to be used as fertilizer to fertilize the land.
As for the bottom layer, of course, it planted its favorite clover.
The most skilled at breeding are their original Flame Spider and Rainbow Flame Spider clans. Four-Leaf couldn't spare its claws, so it also hired two small warriors from the Rainbow Flame Spider clan to help.
With these five or six spiders, the speed of farming was several times faster than other warriors.
After all, not every original Flame Spider has as much life seed output as Four-Leaf. Among most original Flame Spiders' life seeds, only four or five have output. Although the kingdom bears the origin power food required for evolution, it is not very wealthy, and it currently cannot afford to hire too many spiders.
Four-Leaf didn't necessarily have to hire so many spiders to work. Its Twin Peaks had no external threats, and it didn't matter whether it was developed a few years earlier or a few years later.
But it remembered the teachings of Mountain Lord Tiger Cane and Lord Green Maple, and tried its best to take care of its fellow clansmen within its ability.
The number of original Flame Spider warriors is only about a quarter of the total number of kingdom warriors. Even if each small warrior hires a Five-Part Flame Spider warrior, there are still more than half of the small warriors without work.
Although those advanced warriors and Mountain Lord-level warriors also hire them to help in their territories, the role of intermediate warriors in the woodlands of advanced warriors and Mountain Lord-level warriors is no longer significant. It can be said that they are losing money by subsidizing the evolution resources of small warriors.
Since Four-Leaf has this ability, it will help a small part if it can. Helping other spiders is also helping itself.
Fortunately, those advanced warriors of the Five-Part Flame Spider accepted the task issued by Ginkgo Lord, searching for medium and large beasts everywhere in the kingdom and hunting beasts in exchange for evolution resources. Otherwise, with their original Flame Spider's insect population, they really couldn't afford to raise so many spiders.
It is not known whether it is because of the crash of the starship, but the lords and mountain lords of the kingdom did not collect divine seeds. Lord Green Maple didn't say that there were any divine seeds to give it last year.
Fortunately, Four-Leaf itself already had enough divine seeds, so it didn't have too high expectations for this. In March, it evolved to the fourth instar and conceived a Dawn Redwood as a life seed.
In August of the same year, it evolved again to the first instar, and in the fifth instar, it conceived a Bodhi Seed as a life seed.
Time came to October in the blink of an eye. Four-Leaf rarely didn't stay at Twin Peaks and took the time to run back to the territory by the sea.
This year, its, Angelica's, and Bai Zhi's thirty-plus life seeds by the sea were all managed and operated by the Artemisia bee queen.
As a reward, the divine honey and origin power honey produced when their life seeds bloomed were all given to Artemisia to feed the small worker bees. They only recently learned that if the worker bees produced by Artemisia consumed divine honey,
they would be a little smarter than ordinary small worker bees, and divine honey was also a top choice for cultivating assistant kings.
Recently, their life seeds have all reached the harvest season, so they have time to run back.
With the Artemisia bee queen, their work in caring for the life seeds became much easier. In previous years, they still needed to fertilize the life seeds and replenish their original power. This year, they could just sit and wait for the fruits to ripen.
The life seeds and Zerg warriors evolved together. When Four-Leaf evolved to the fourth and fifth stages, it replenished a wave of original power to the life seeds. Therefore, they didn't need to replenish any extra original power during the fruit ripening period.
After all, their current realm is still very low, and their requirements for original power are not too high. Natural original power can fill the original power they need during the fruit ripening period.
Four-Leaf and Angelica carried silk bags behind Artemisia, and the Artemisia bee queen directed the worker bees to pick original power food.
Thanks to the fact that there were no major typhoons this year, and the minor typhoons only brushed past the Flame Spider Kingdom, no original power fruits were blown down by the wind this year, which can be regarded as a great harvest.
But fortunately, there were no major typhoons this year, otherwise, many Zerg warriors competing for extraterrestrial civilization creations at the sea starship would have had bad luck.
The first to be picked was still the chinquapin tree. The worker bees were much more agile than Angelica. They flew up to the chinquapin tree and bit off the fruit stalks with their mandibles. The chinquapins fell directly from the tree.
Four-Leaf and Angelica were busy picking them up under the tree, and chestnuts fell from above their heads one after another,
Hitting their back armor with a 'pa' sound.
"Hehe, it's a harvest." Although the thorny chinquapins hurt a bit when they hit their bodies, Four-Leaf and Angelica were still happy to pick them up. These were all original stones, all evolution resources.
Four-Leaf and Angelica picked up the chinquapins and piled them together. The two insects stayed under the tree and peeled off the outermost layer of thorny shells.
While peeling, Angelica asked: "Four-Leaf, are we still going to Red Tea's place this year?"
Four-Leaf was a little conflicted. On the one hand, the Flame Spider Kingdom had issued an order prohibiting Flame Spiders below the Mountain Lord level from leaving the kingdom.
On the other hand, it had agreed with Red Tea that it would bring the original power food needed for its evolution.
If it listened to the kingdom, it would break its promise.
If it went to trade with Red Tea, it would violate the kingdom's order, which made it suddenly very conflicted.
Four-Leaf said: "I'll ask Lord Qingfeng later if I can go out, okay?"
At this time, Angelica volunteered: "Four-Leaf, the kingdom said you can't go out, but it didn't say we symbiotic Zerg can't go out. I can go to trade with Red Tea for you. Anyway, I know the price of original power food in my heart."
Four-Leaf thought for a while and felt that since it wasn't the first year or the first time trading, both sides would have some experience and trust. The price of original power food was basically understood, so it wouldn't be a problem to let Angelica go.
So it said: "Then I'll summon Yunshi with the Sea God Horn later. If it's free, you can go there. If it's not free, then let's forget about it this year."
The occurrence of such irresistible factors was not what Four-Leaf wanted. It also wanted to establish a long-term trade relationship with Red Tea.
"Okay," Angelica replied happily.
"Chinquapin is still one original stone per grain, right?"
"Yes, before a major class evolution, the price will basically not change."
"Then the papaya and God-given morning glory seeds are also the previous price?"
"Yes, during a major realm period, the quality of original power food will not change much. There will be a price adjustment after being promoted to a high-level warrior." Four-Leaf peeled out all the chestnuts, and continued to bury the chestnut shells under the tree for fertilizer.
Four-Leaf looked up at the Artemisia bee queen in the sky: "Artemisia, can you help me pick all the God-given morning glory seeds, God-given rapeseed seeds, God-given sea dates, and God-given mangrove fruits?"
"Okay," Artemisia flapped its wings and led the bee colony to pick God-given original power food. Thanks to the kingdom's sufficient original power food, the number of its bee colony's worker bees has reached thousands, and it can do a lot of work in the kingdom.
Angelica consciously flew up: "I'll go pick papayas."
Four-Leaf packed the chestnuts into silk bags and carried them back to the nest. With Artemisia, their work can really be much easier.
For example, now, it doesn't need to work hard to pick fruits. It can directly let Artemisia bring the worker bees to pick them and send them over.
Arriving under the Lucky Clover tree, Four-Leaf looked at the fruits on the tree. These fruits had been growing for three or four years, but they were only the size of ordinary mangosteens, and they had never experienced the fruit expansion period that Lord Silverfleece had mentioned.
"Lucky, do you know how long it will take for your fruits to mature?"
Lucky Clover was a little dazed: "I don't know, how long will it take to mature?"
Four-Leaf:
I'm asking you, but you're asking me back? Forget it, never mind. It's the first time bearing fruit, and everyone has no experience. Let it be.
At this time, Angelica flew back carrying a silk bag, and Artemisia also brought the bee colony back. Its worker bees couldn't carry too heavy things. Each insect held a God-given sea date and a God-given mangrove fruit. Artemisia itself was carrying a silk bag, filled with God-given morning glory seeds and God-given rapeseed seeds.
Four-Leaf opened the silk bag, and the worker bees lined up to come forward, throwing the God-given sea dates and God-given mangrove fruits they were holding into the silk bag.
Angelica stepped forward actively: "Four-Leaf, can you see how many original stones these God-given fruits are worth?"
Four-Leaf's claws reached into the silk bag, twisted a rapeseed pod, peeled it open, and checked the seeds inside: "Rapeseed seeds are a fire-based hunger endurance enhancement. Simply put, they increase the body's fat, which helps with evolution.
But the seeds are a little bit flawed, only one-tenth of a centimeter in size, and the attributes are too niche, only two original stones per seed.
If it were a life-based seed, the price could reach at least five original stones per seed."
Putting down the rapeseed seeds, it twisted open a mangrove fruit, throwing the flesh on the surface to the ground, immediately attracting a group of worker bees to scramble for it.
"Mangrove fruit is also average. The flesh is one original stone, the kernel can be eight or nine original stones, and the whole fruit can be sold for ten original stones."
It then twisted a sea date, put it in its mouth to taste, and its eight eyes suddenly lit up: "God-given sea dates are indeed different as a life-based endurance enhancement. Not only does it taste good, but all Zerg can use it, including the date flesh. The price of such a seed can be sold for at least thirty original stones."
Rapeseed seeds and sea dates, although both are endurance enhancements, the original energy in rapeseed seeds is too strong, only suitable for fire-based Zerg to eat.
In contrast, sea dates have mild original energy and enhance all kinds of endurance, such as toxins, pain, hunger,
And so on.
Sea dates are suitable for all Zerg warriors to eat. Compared with each other, the price is quite different.
"Hooray,"
"Great."
Angelica and Artemisia cheered, not expecting sea dates to be so valuable.
Four-Leaf generously allocated a few sea dates, giving Angelica and Artemisia two each: "You guys taste it. Artemisia, when you go back later, also bring two to Angelica."
"Thank you, Four-Leaf," the two insects were both surprised and delighted. God-given sea dates are a kind of God-given original power food that is not even distributed among the original power food dispatched by the kingdom.
"Yeah," Four-Leaf responded calmly. It allocated another five mangrove fruits to Artemisia: "Artemisia, you've worked hard this year. This is your reward."
"Ha," Artemisia was really going to be overjoyed. Four-Leaf was too generous. Mangrove fruit is an earth-based ability enhancement. It has wind and earth dual-type talent potential, which is perfect for eating this.
Four-Leaf allocated another twenty morning glory seeds: "Angelica, these are yours."
"Long live Four-Leaf!" Angelica shouted!
"Long live Four-Leaf!" Artemisia echoed excitedly.
