Natural God's Gift

Although Si Ye didn't go on the merchant trip, based on their past experience, they estimated that they would be away for three to four months.

Si Ye wasn't too worried about their safety either. Three high-level insect beast warriors, traveling the familiar merchant routes, and on the sparsely populated sea, meant there shouldn't be any problems.

As for whether they might encounter powerful insect warriors on the road that could endanger their lives...

That was pure paranoia. Even if it really happened, Yun Shi could lead the two insects to escape into the deep sea.

It's just that the world doesn't have so many 'what ifs.' If it really happened while it was away, then they would just have to accept their bad luck. Not accepting it wouldn't change anything. Even Torch Mountain Lord and the others had been robbed before.

In the following time, it didn't go anywhere. It just stayed obediently on Twin Peaks, eating polar permafrost.

It planned to start evolving into the third instar after finishing these God-given earth.

The high-level warrior stage was just about accumulating primal energy and increasing vitality. As long as there was enough primal energy food and a solid foundation in all aspects, there wouldn't be much of a problem with evolving through the small instars.

In mid-June, after its physical fitness and condition reached their peak, it applied to Lord Qingfeng to test its physical qualities again.

Si Ye's external physical appearance had already begun to differ from other Flame Spider warriors. It grew much larger than spiders of the same age, and Lord Qingfeng had noticed these things.

It also wanted to see what level Si Ye's physical qualities had reached now, and whether the primal energy food package it had put together for Si Ye was effective.

Returning to the underground cave, Si Ye was already familiar with the route. Now, in the entire kingdom, the only place it hadn't been was the place specifically for storing extraterrestrial civilization creations. It had been to other places more than once.

Moreover, Lord Qingfeng said that Si Ye would also have to take over some positions in the kingdom to become familiar with the kingdom's affairs.

Such as the kingdom's office hall, such as the forbidden area of the underground cave. When there were more and more Flame Spider warriors in the future, spiders would need to guard these special places to avoid unnecessary problems.

This time, arriving in front of the machine for testing physical qualities, after the glass cover of the testing machine opened, without waiting for Lord Qingfeng to speak, Si Ye took the initiative to jump onto the machine, and then waited for the machine to close.

Lord Qingfeng continuously tapped on the machine's control panel. The glass cover closed, and then a familiar voice sounded in Si Ye's mind: "Test start, test subject, original Flame Spider warrior, Si Ye."

"Realm: Second Instar High Level!"

Si Ye was startled by the sudden voice during the first test, but now it could face it calmly.

The mechanical voice was still stiff and dull: "Standard body size for a Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior: Height 0.95 meters, leg span 2.5 meters."

Hearing the broadcast, Si Ye pondered: "The height of the second instar increases by 0.15 meters compared to the first instar, and the leg span increases by 0.3 meters? Then my height and leg span should be合格 (qualified)."

The voice continued to broadcast: "Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye: Height 1.12 meters, leg span 2.92 meters, body shape rating, Excellent!"

"The body shape has become excellent." Si Ye remembered that during the last test, its body shape rating was only Good. Now the rating in this aspect has increased a lot.

As before, while Si Ye was thinking, the purple light on the machine continued to scan Si Ye's body,

a faint mental pressure came towards Si Ye, and Si Ye began to use mental power to resist.

After a while, the pressure disappeared, and the machine continued to broadcast: "Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior, standard range of mental power diffusion; 150 meters.

Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye, range of mental power diffusion; 191 meters, mental power rating,

Excellent!"

"As expected, it's still excellent!" Si Ye didn't stop eating the God-given tea seeds. It had already tested its mental power range and wasn't surprised to get this rating.

Next was the test of body weight and load-bearing capacity. The earthy yellow light rendered the entire cabin in a dim yellow color, creating a sense of weight-bearing that was omnipresent from the void.

This sense of heaviness gradually increased. Its eight legs steadily supported the ground, firmly bearing the powerful force that suppressed the body.

After supporting for a moment, the cabin returned to a light white color, and the mechanical voice sounded: "Standard weight for a Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior: 110 kilograms, standard load-bearing capacity 220 kilograms."

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye: Weight 133 kilograms, load-bearing capacity 268 kilograms, load-bearing rating, Good!"

Still Good? Si Ye sighed inwardly. It wasn't an Ant Tribe or a Gold Beetle Armor Tribe, born with power-type talents, able to carry more than ten times its own body weight.

It also didn't have power-type God-given primal energy food to eat, making it difficult to effectively increase body strength. It seemed that in the future, the amount of ordinary power-type primal energy food in the primal energy food package would have to be increased a bit.

The machine continued to broadcast, "Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior, standard carapace hardness: 40."

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye: Carapace hardness 51, carapace hardness rating, Excellent!"

"Second Instar High Level Flame Spider warrior, standard muscle strength: 70%"

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye: Muscle standard strength 78%, muscle strength standard rating, Excellent!"

"Excellent blood circulation, excellent condition of internal organs!"

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior, standard primal energy reserve 150 primal energy units."

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye: Primal energy reserve 202 primal energy units, primal energy unit standard rating, Excellent!"

"Second Instar High Level original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye; good eyesight."

Outside the testing instrument, Lord Qingfeng frequently checked the physical data of Si Ye displayed on the machine's control screen,

Even it didn't expect that Si Ye's physical qualities had comprehensively surpassed other Second Instar Flame Spider warriors.

It should be known that the basic physical data of a Third Instar Flame Spider warrior is only a height of 1.1 meters / 2.8 meters leg span / mental power of 180 meters. From this perspective, Si Ye, apart from its instar, was no different from a Third Instar High Level Flame Spider warrior in other aspects.

Just when Si Ye thought the test was over, the machine sounded again: "Detected that original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye has added water and earth dual-attribute potential, now testing the probability of original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye awakening wood, water, and earth three-attribute talents."

A special gas was injected into the testing cabin, quickly absorbed by Si Ye's body, and then the machine immediately derived feedback based on the speed of Si Ye's body absorption.

"Original Flame Spider warrior Si Ye, 100% chance of awakening wood-type talent at the Mountain Lord level.

41.235% probability of awakening water-type talent.

29.331% probability of awakening earth-type talent."

Hearing this voice, Si Ye muttered, "Is the probability of awakening water-type talent only 41%?"

It had previously eaten more than three liters of Deep Sea Heavy Water and many water-type God-given primal energy foods, raising the probability of awakening the talent to about 40%.

This value wasn't high or low, and it was probably necessary to eat some more water-type God-given things.

As for the probability of awakening earth-type talent being less than 30%, it wasn't surprised. It hadn't finished eating its fifty liters of polar permafrost yet.

Lord Qingfeng opened the glass cover, and Si Ye walked out of it.

Lord Qingfeng: "Si Ye, your physical qualities have surpassed most Third Instar High Level Flame Spider warriors. This shows that the primal energy food package I configured for you last year was very effective."

Si Ye moved its pedipalps, somewhat depressed: "The foundation of all aspects of my body has reached excellent, but in terms of strength, without power-type God-given primal energy food to eat, the growth is not obvious."

Qingfeng, the Lord: "In the Fang Clan Continent and the Myriad Nations Continent, there should be power-based God-given Primal Force foods suitable for advanced Flame Spiders to eat. However, it may be because their numbers are too scarce, so those insectoid tribes prioritize supplying them to their own members."

"Next year, when I have the Five Flame Spider Merchant Groups travel the continent, I'll ask about it and try to get some for you."

"Then thank you, Lord Qingfeng." If it could make up for its weakness in power, it would be perfect. As for the soul aspect, it was already content with having Soul-based Primal Force food to eat. Other insectoid warriors didn't even have Soul-based Primal Force food.

After testing its physical fitness, Siyue contentedly returned to Twin Peaks to continue guarding the Jue Mingzi God-given Seed, waiting for it to awaken its soul consciousness.

Usually, it had nothing much to do, so it worked with Huotang and the others on Twin Peaks. After all, Twin Peaks was its own territory, and the sooner it developed it, the greater its chance of obtaining a God-given Seed.

Not far from Twin Peaks, there was a river that flooded every summer, and at its worst, the river water could even reach the foot of Twin Peaks.

Siyue, taking advantage of the present free time, felt that it could plan the basic infrastructure of its territory. It divided five ditches at the foot of the mountain, leading in different directions. These five ditches could not only divert floodwaters but also irrigate the trees on Twin Peaks.

However, digging ditches like this was very slow without the assistance of insectoid warriors with earth-based abilities.

Fortunately, it already possessed earth-based talent potential and was quite strong. Furthermore, with the assistance of various metal tools purchased from Boss Xiaoji, although it couldn't dig a ditch directly by itself, it could still plan the direction of the ditches according to the original terrain of the mountain.

It also peeled off the surface layer of soil at the planned locations of the ditches, clearing away all the weeds and trees on top.

The days of working were tiring but passed quickly. When Siyue, with its four legs carrying a hoe, shovel, awl, and hammer,

was taking turns using them on a large rock in the path of the planned ditch, a loud cicada's song came from afar.

Siyue used the awl to prop against the boulder and hammered it wildly. At first, it thought it was just an ordinary cicada's song from the summer forest and didn't pay attention to it.

It wasn't until the cicada's song grew louder and louder that it came to its senses.

Siyue straightened its upper body and saw a large black cicada flying towards it. It immediately understood that Danggui and the others had returned.

It removed the tools from its limbs, not even bothering to clean off the dirt, and crawled out of the ditch, covered in dust.

Danggui descended from the sky: "Siyue, we're back!"

"Mm, was the journey smooth?"

"It was relatively smooth. We made a special effort to return before the typhoon season." July and August were the typhoon season, and after experiencing the last wind and rainstorm, they didn't dare to stay outside for too long.

"How many Primal Force foods were traded in total?"

"Hongcha traded five thousand Primal Force foods to it. At Yinmeizhou, all the remaining 95,000 Primal Stones have been traded away."

"That's not bad." Siyue wasn't surprised by this. Putting aside the God-given Tea Seeds, Hongcha's other life seeds were relatively low-grade. With so many life seeds combined, an annual output of 10,000 Primal Stones was already good. It still needed to keep some for itself, so trading 5,000 Primal Stones was already the limit.

Over at Yinmeizhou, they had a strong demand for various Primal Force foods from the outside world, wishing they could exchange all their Primal Stones for outside foods to make up for the lack of enhancement for their bodies.

Under such circumstances, the insectoid warriors of Yinmeizhou could trade for 5,000 Primal Stones worth of Primal Force food each.

The 95,000 Primal Stones worth of goods could be traded away easily, not to mention that there were still two Mountain Lord-level insectoid warriors among them, who could trade for a large number of Primal Force foods at once.

"Were the God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits traded for?" At the beginning of the year, they brought 10,000 Primal Stones worth of God-given Primal Force food to trade for God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits.

"They were traded for. At a price of 19 Primal Stones per fruit, we traded for 800 Snake Raspberry Fruits. Baizhi and the others are waiting for you at Tianya Reef to distribute them."

"Then let's go!" Siyue quickly headed towards the seaside along the mountain path. Unlike before, when it took several days to travel dozens of kilometers of mountain road, it was now an advanced Flame Spider, and it only needed half an hour to reach dozens of kilometers.

However, compared to insectoid warriors that could fly, its speed was still too slow. By the time it arrived at Tianya Reef, Danggui had already flown back and had also informed Aicao along the way.

Siyue arrived at Tianya Reef, and Baizhi, seeing it covered in dust, was somewhat surprised: "Siyue, how did you get the yellowish-brown color of a Watase's Flame Spider?"

Siyue: "..."

Siyue jumped directly into the sea and, after being washed by the seawater, restored its original color before returning to shore.

"Baizhi, I heard that 800 Snake Raspberry Fruits were traded for?"

"Yes," Baizhi said, grinning widely, "The Snake Raspberry Mountain Lord's God-given Snake Raspberry God-given Seed only produces 1,500 God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits in total, and we took half of them at once. How about it? Is that number acceptable?"

As Baizhi spoke, Danggui also took out a God-given Snake Raspberry Fruit and handed it to it. The God-given Snake Raspberry Fruit was about one centimeter in diameter, and it was crystal clear and very beautiful.

It was similar to the God-given Strawberry, not easy to preserve, and not easy to store, unless it was placed in the Kingdom Treasury to maintain the original energy from dissipating.

Siyue tasted the God-given Snake Raspberry Fruit and felt that the price of 19 Primal Stones was relatively appropriate.

"Not bad."

God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits were not easy to preserve, the price was not high, even Mountain Lord-level fruits were only worth 19 Primal Stones each, and the production was low.

It felt inferior to the Morning Glory God-given Seed, and only slightly better than the Creeping Lobelia and Wild Pea God-given Seeds.

Baizhi continued: "This trip, we brought 10,000 God-given Primal Force foods and 90,000 ordinary Primal Force foods, earning a total of 21,000 Primal Stones. Siyue, how should we distribute them?"

Siyue had already planned for this problem: "God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits are not easy to store, and it's not suitable to eat too many.

Let's each divide 50 fruits, and take the other ordinary Primal Force foods directly to exchange for Spider King Credits with the kingdom. Then we can choose and purchase Primal Force foods ourselves. Next year, each of us will contribute 20,000 Primal Stones as trading capital."

"Okay," Baizhi and Danggui could just exchange for a batch of Primal Force foods and evolve once more before autumn. Their evolution speed couldn't be too far behind Siyue's.

"Then what should we do with the remaining 550 God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits? Should we exchange them for God-given Spider King Credits?" With the Myriad Nations Continent next door also connected, the price of God-given Primal Force foods hadn't increased, but their rarity had increased another level.

Now, within the kingdom, it was no longer possible to trade for relatively low-level God-given Primal Force foods with ordinary Spider King Credits.

On the other hand, King-level God-given Primal Force foods could still be traded at will because there were too many of them and too few consumers.

However, this deformed trading model would eventually return to normal as the age of the insectoid warriors on both continents increased.

"If Yunshi wants them, then give them to Yunshi. If Yunshi doesn't want them, then take them to the Kingdom Treasury to exchange for God-given Spider King Credits."

Hearing this, Yunshi quickly flapped its fins in response: "Then leave them for me to eat. 50 God-given Snake Raspberry Fruits are too few, not enough for me to eat."

"Then leave them for you!"
