Natural God's Gift

“That's right, this isn't recorded in the inherited memories, so naturally, you wouldn't know.”

“The inherited memories record countless plant species, but they don't classify them by grade. The grades are determined by us, the insect warriors.”

Hongcha tilted her head slightly: “Is the grade of a plant species very important? If it's important, why isn't it recorded in the inherited memories?”

Siyue: “Perhaps to the God of Nature, every plant in the Star Realm is a descendant, so all plant species are not graded.

But for us insect warriors, the grade of a plant species is very important because it directly affects the production of our insect warrior's life seeds, the quality and value of primal force food, and indirectly affects the evolution of our insect warriors.”

Siyue explained the classification of life seed grades to Hongcha. (See Chapter 19 for details, On Life Seeds, to avoid being accused of padding words.)

After speaking, Siyue said somewhat seriously: “Forgive my bluntness, but among your many life seeds, only the tea tree can barely be considered a dual-quality plant species. The rest, such as blueberries and forsythia, can only be considered mid-to-low grade plant species. Corn is only a low-grade plant species.

If you didn't rely on the Xiaoye Dew Tea God-given seed, you would have difficulty even advancing to the Mountain Lord level.”

Hongcha: “... —”

So her best life seed was only barely in the second tier. Among the three conditions of high yield, high quality, and high price, she hadn't grasped the key of high yield, tearfully —

Siyue: “For insects with tribes, if they have enough high-quality plant species, even without obtaining a God-given seed, they can still advance to the Mountain Lord level solely on high-quality plant species.

And your life seeds obviously don't meet the standard.”

Hongcha was silent. She calculated the output of her many life seeds. Not counting the tea tree God-given seed, the annual output of the other life seeds combined was less than 10,000 primal stones. This was barely enough for evolving into an advanced warrior, but it was a bit insufficient for advancing to the Mountain Lord level.

Hongcha said with some difficulty: “But I don't know how to choose life seeds, and there aren't many types of life seeds available for selection on this island!”

Siyue chuckled: “Actually, there are many high-quality plant species on the island. You can just choose some large trees to nurture as life seeds.

For example, the mangrove tree in the mangrove forest can be considered a dual-quality plant species in terms of both quality and yield?”

“Yes, yes,” Baizhi echoed: “Siyue has a God-given mangrove tree seed, which produced three thousand fruits this year.”

Hongcha was somewhat surprised: “Boss Siyue, the inherited memories record that Flame Spider merchants don't produce primal force food, do you also have life seed production?”

Siyue: “The inherited memories record the other five Flame Spider tribes. We, the original Flame Spiders, are the same as other insect warriors, and we also nurture life seeds in each age.”

“Is that so?” Hongcha's eyes sparkled. She also had earth-type talent potential and could eat mangrove fruits: “Boss Siyue, when your God-given mangrove fruits are produced, you must sell some to me.”

“That's easy to say,” Siyue said cheerfully: “I said, as long as you have enough primal stones, even if you use all God-given primal force food for evolution, we can get the goods, but I also said that your primal force food production isn't very high!”

Hongcha was silent again. She was just inexperienced, not stupid. When Siyue first came to the island, he recommended that she nurture top-tier plant species.

It was just that both parties were doing business for the first time, and she didn't quite trust the other party. Now that Siyue was bringing up this topic again, it was clear that he had some plans.

Hongcha: “What is the difference in primal force food production between top-tier plant species and ordinary plant species?”

Siyue casually pointed to Hongcha's corn life seed: “Your corn life seed is worth thirty to forty primal stones per cob. During the advanced warrior stage, full production should be around 1000-1200 primal stones.”

He then picked up a chinquapin: “This chinquapin is a strength-based top-tier plant species. I also have this life seed. Based on the production of my clan, it can bear 5000 fruits.

There are three chinquapins in one chestnut, each worth 1.5 primal stones, and it produces once every two years. Calculate how many primal stones it produces on average per year?”

Hongcha calculated with her claws, uncertainly saying: “This one life seed produces nearly ten thousand primal stones per year? That's almost as much as a God-given seed!”

How many primal stones does her one God-given seed produce per year? This is almost catching up with the production of a God-given seed.

Her dozen or so life seeds combined only produce this many primal stones per year.

Siyue waved his antennae: “It still can't compare to a God-given seed, but its value is beyond doubt.”

Putting aside everything else, his morning glory God-given seed was considered the worst type of God-given seed, but it could still produce a thousand flowers when it grew up. One God-given morning glory seed cost eight primal stones, which was 16,000 primal stones.

Like Hongcha's tea tree God-given seed, it could produce more than two thousand fruits a year in the future, with an annual output of thirty to forty thousand primal stones. After advancing to the Mountain Lord level warrior, the price could very likely double again.

Hongcha envied: “Boss Siyue, the chinquapin tree has such a high yield, then wouldn't all your life seeds be replaced with chinquapin trees?”

“How could that be? Primal force food still needs to be consumed in moderation. How could we all nurture the same plant species?

We, the original Flame Spider warriors, never nurture a second plant of the same type as a life seed. The chinquapin tree is good, but there are also many top-tier plant species in our kingdom whose value is no less than it, enough for us to choose from.”

Siyue patted Hongcha with his foreleg: “I also have a super-grade plant species, the Sea Soul Fir, which strengthens the soul. When it produces primal force food next year, I'll bring you some to try.”

“Super-grade? Soul-type?” Another unheard-of plant species. Hongcha was a little dizzy. Was the Flame Spider Kingdom too rich?

At this time, Danggui fanned her wings to assist: “I also have several top-tier plant species as life seeds, with very high annual yields.”

Hongcha was even more envious. If top-tier plant species all had primal force food production worth nine thousand to ten thousand primal stones, then the primal stones earned would be more than a God-given life seed.

At this time, Danggui and Baizhi also prepared the primal force food set meal and handed it to her, temporarily ending the topic: “Ten bags of primal force food, each bag worth one thousand primal stones, for a total price of ten thousand primal stones.”

Ten bags of primal force food, the price of each bag is around 780 primal stones, the total cost. About seven thousand eight, plus the value of ten silk bags, so earn about two thousand primal stones!

“Yeah,” Hongcha took the silk bags and placed them at her feet.

Siyue took out a small abacus and calculated: “Originally owed me 2200 primal stones, plus these 10000 primal stones, for a total of 12200 primal stones. We'll come to collect them after your autumn harvest this year, is that okay?”

“No problem.” Although the yield of her ordinary life seeds is low, the price of the God-given primal force food produced by her God-given seed is high, so she can easily pay back this amount of money.

Siyue: “This primal force food should be enough for you to eat for a year or two. If the tea tree God-given seed has a bumper harvest this year, you can also sell the excess to us, and we guarantee a satisfactory price.

If you're afraid that too much primal force food will be lost in the transaction, we can also pay with Spider King Notes. With Spider King Notes, you can buy primal force food from any Flame Spider in our Flame Spider Kingdom at any time.”

Hongcha asked curiously: “Spider King Notes? Can I take a look?”

Spider King Notes were originally for transactions, so naturally there was no reason not to look at them.

Siyue removed the metal cylinder from his carapace, opened the cylinder, and took out a Spider King Note with a face value of one thousand primal stones for Hongcha to check: “Spider King Notes are woven by our kingdom's leader. Information about Spider King Notes should also be recorded in the inherited memories, so I won't say more.

In addition to being able to be used as an equivalent exchange for primal stones, the note also records the various God-given primal force foods we have in our kingdom. With Spider King Notes, if you want to buy any God-given primal force food,

you can also apply for purchase according to the price on it and the Flame Spider merchants you know.”

“But the only Flame Spiders I know are you!” Hongcha slandered, then took the Spider King Note and checked it.

She found that the Spider King Note was exquisitely made, almost like a work of art, and the patterns drawn on the front and back were different.

Indeed, one side had records of many kinds of God-given primal force foods, even with price lists for these God-given primal force foods.

Siyue took out the Spider King Note, originally thinking that Hongcha would be very surprised, but he didn't expect her to check the Spider King Note with a normal expression, which couldn't help but make him a little disappointed that he couldn't show off.

He didn't know that he had given too many surprises, and the Flame Spider Kingdom he had described was too powerful. Hongcha was now a little numb, and felt that it was normal for Siyue to be able to take out these things. On the contrary, if there was anything he couldn't take out, she would find it a little strange.

Hongcha looked at the Spider King Note, mainly at the back. The back was drawn with various primal force food fruit patterns, words, and prices. She didn't quite understand the Flame Spider Kingdom's language, and Siyue pointed out what each thing was and what the price was.

Hongcha looked at it for a while, somewhat reluctantly saying: “Boss Siyue, can you give me a Spider King Note? So I can study it by myself?

Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing, just put it on the account, and you can come directly to my place to collect primal force food in the autumn harvest season.”

“Okay,” Anyway, there are no Spider King Notes that can be used in the Star Sand Islands, so it's nothing to give her one.

After the transaction was completed, everyone continued to chat, and Hongcha took the initiative to pick up the previous topic at this moment.

She cautiously probed: “Boss Siyue, I remember you once said that there are certain discounts and benefits for high-quality customers, right?

You also said a few years ago that you could give me top-tier plant species to nurture into life seeds, which could be used to pay off debts in the future,

I wonder if what you said still counts?”

Siyue said calmly: “What I said naturally counts, Hongcha, do you have any ideas?”

Hongcha considered and cautiously said: “If there are suitable, high-yielding plant species, I can't say I won't nurture one or two.”

Siyue: “Our kingdom has very strict control over top-tier plant species and doesn't allow them to be lost to the outside. Since you didn't say anything before, we didn't prepare too much and didn't bring any top-tier plant species over.”

“Is that so?” Hongcha couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard Siyue say this.

“However—”
