#255 - Get a share
When Yun Shi arrived at Azusa's island, Azusa was fertilizing the Life Seeds. These islands at sea didn't have much else, but there was an abundance of bird droppings.
Seabirds had lived among these islands for countless millennia, and the accumulated bird droppings were calculated in tons.
To be honest, if bird droppings weren't so cheap and the ship that Quatrefoil and the others planned to build was suitable for carrying large tonnages of cargo, Angelica would have wanted to haul bird droppings back to sell.
One unit of bird droppings cost 7 Origin Stones. As long as there was a cargo ship with enough tonnage, asking Dragon's Beard to personally make a trip would allow them to haul thousands of cubic meters of bird droppings back, easily earning several thousand Origin Stones with a flick of a claw. Wasn't this easier than nurturing God-given Seeds?

Unfortunately, Yun Shi and Quatrefoil rejected Angelica's suggestion. They didn't want to shovel bird droppings or haul bird droppings.
The main reason was that they couldn't load so many bird droppings onto the ship with just a few spiders.
"Azusa," Angelica flew onto the island first, releasing her mental power to remind Azusa that they had arrived.
"Oh, Angelica, why have you come so early this year?" Not only Yun Shi, but also Azusa was surprised by the timing of the merchant group's arrival.
Angelica casually said, "There's nothing much to do, so we came earlier."
"Quatrefoil has also come this year."
Azusa's compound eyes lit up: "Quatrefoil is here? Then I must go and greet it."
Quatrefoil was its sugar daddy, and it was still relying on the other party to support it, so it couldn't be negligent.
Azusa and Angelica spread their wings and flew out of the island to greet Quatrefoil.
Azusa landed in front of Quatrefoil and greeted it happily: "Quatrefoil, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
Quatrefoil sized up Azusa: "Your evolution speed is quite fast. You've already reached the eighth instar."
Speaking of this, Azusa was even happier: "This is all thanks to you, Quatrefoil. Otherwise, I might still be in the first or second instar now."
With the Origin Energy food provided by Quatrefoil, it could evolve two to three instars every year, making its evolution speed extremely fast.
Quatrefoil took out a silk pouch from its carapace and handed it to it: "Inside are Origin Energy foods worth three thousand Origin Stones.
After eating it, you should be able to evolve another instar this year, and you will be able to be promoted to an Advanced Warrior next year."
"Thank you, Quatrefoil," Azusa happily accepted the silk pouch: "Quatrefoil, does that mean I owe you 19,000 Origin Energy foods?"
Quatrefoil: "Don't rush. Let's go see how your Life Seeds are growing."
"Welcome to visit."
Angelica and Bai Zhi didn't speak. It was false for Quatrefoil to check the growth of the Life Seeds. The truth was to see if Azusa had nurtured the top-quality plant seeds it gave into Life Seeds and sown them.
However, they wouldn't tell Azusa.
Azusa welcomed Quatrefoil and his group into the island and took it to visit its Life Seeds.
Before meeting Quatrefoil and his group, Azusa's Life Seeds were chosen randomly. It nurtured whatever it saw, and the yield and quality were not high.
After meeting Quatrefoil, its Life Seeds were all given by Quatrefoil, and each one was a top-quality and double-excellent Life Seed.
Quatrefoil came to check the growth of many Life Seeds. Among Azusa's many Life Seeds, the Purple Pine Life Seed, Traveler's Palm Life Seed, Big Fruit Iron Knife Wood Life Seed, Baobab Life Seed, Walnut Tree Life Seed, and Bicolor Oak Life Seed were all given by it.
At this moment, they had all been planted, but because the planting time was too short, they had not yet flowered and fruited.
Quatrefoil was very satisfied with this. As long as Azusa nurtured the seeds into Life Seeds and planted them, it didn't matter whether they flowered and fruited sooner or later.
It took out another small silk pouch from its carapace and handed it to Azusa: "There are two seeds inside, one is a wind-type Winged Sterculia platanifolia seed, and the other is a water-type Jacaranda mimosifolia tree. Don't lose the seeds."
Azusa honestly nodded its antennae. After so many years, it also knew the taboos of the Flame Spider Merchant: "I know, I understand the rules."
In fact, Quatrefoil now wanted to awaken all the elemental talents at the Mountain Lord level. It didn't matter which plant it nurtured as a Life Seed.
It was just that the kingdom's lords kept collecting God-given Seeds for it, wanting to earn interest and eat its divine-quality fruits.
It had such a good opportunity to obtain God-given Seeds for free, so naturally it wouldn't give it up.
The price of a God-given Seed is calculated based on 500 years of output. Even if it spends 500 years to be promoted to the King level, according to the King level's 1,000-year lifespan, it still has 500 years to repay the debt.
That is to say, the remaining 500 years are earned for nothing. At the very least, the period before becoming a King level is always profitable.
Quatrefoil and Angelica chatted with Azusa for a while, and then bid farewell and left: "Then you can evolve on time, and I will come again next year."
"Okay," Azusa swayed its antennae, watching Quatrefoil and the others return to Yun Shi's carapace and leave for the distance. Quatrefoil and the others didn't run far, but ran to Red Tea Island, not far from Azusa Island.
The Red Tea on the island was also fertilizing its Life Seeds. This season was originally the season to fatten the Life Seeds. Those with money would add some Origin Stones to the Life Seeds, those without money would add some fertilizer and water to the Life Seeds, bird droppings, and if that didn't work, adding two handfuls of plant ash to the Life Seeds would also be good.
It wasn't surprised that Quatrefoil and the others had come now. Sometimes Quatrefoil and his group came in the autumn, and sometimes they came in the spring. The time was not fixed, and it was already used to it.
"Red Tea," Angelica flew onto the island first, found Red Tea, and Quatrefoil and the others followed closely behind and landed on the island.
"Angelica, Boss Quatrefoil, Bai Zhi." Red Tea walked out from where its Life Seed was located and greeted them one by one.
Seeing Red Tea, Quatrefoil and the others were a little surprised: "Red Tea, you have evolved quite fast. You are already a fourth instar Advanced Warrior."
Since Red Tea traded with the Quatrefoil Merchant Group, it had enough Origin Energy food to eat, and its evolution speed was also much faster. It evolved once every two years, and now it had reached the fourth instar Advanced Warrior.
Red Tea's compound eyes rolled, and it said somewhat sourly: "Your evolution speed is fast, isn't it?"
The first time it traded with the Quatrefoil Merchant Group, they were just small spiders and cicadas in the fifth or sixth instar, while it was already a second instar Intermediate Warrior, with a difference of five or six instars between the two sides.
After so many years of trading, it was only a fourth instar Advanced Warrior, while Angelica and the others had reached the second instar Advanced Warrior, and Quatrefoil was even about to surpass it in instar.
Damn it, are these dead profiteers so rich?
"Red Tea, was your Origin Energy food harvested smoothly last year?"
Red Tea: "Not very smoothly. I encountered two small typhoons last year, and some fruits were lost, but they were still harvested."
Hearing that it had encountered a typhoon, Quatrefoil and the others felt a little nervous. On the island, the most feared thing was encountering typhoons and tsunamis. Sometimes, once encountered, the losses were simply immeasurable.
Angelica hurriedly asked: "Is the Tea Tree God-given Seed okay?"
Red Tea gave it a contemptuous look before saying: "It's okay."
Quatrefoil: "Are your Life Seeds okay?"
Hearing Quatrefoil say this, Red Tea glanced at Angelica again. Looking at Quatrefoil, it was indeed a Flame Spider Merchant. Although they were all concerned about its output, it felt much more comfortable when asked this way.
"It's okay. My Life Seeds are planted in the center of the island and didn't face the typhoon directly. It's just that the output was a bit damaged."
"Oh," it was good that there were no problems with the Life Seeds.
"How many Tea Tree God-given Seeds did you bear this year?"
Red Tea: "This year, 1,124 were borne, and some were lost in the typhoon."
"Is that so?" Hearing Hong Cha say this, Si Ye felt sorry. The loss was not only Hong Cha's property, but also its own.
Si Ye: "Hong Cha, this year I brought you 20,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food. You're in the advanced stage of the Fourth Molting Period, you should be able to finish it all, right?"
"That depends on what kind of Origin Power food it is." After so many transactions, Hong Cha's mouth has also become picky. It won't eat poisonous Origin Power food, it won't eat Origin Power food that doesn't taste good, and it won't eat low-quality Origin Power food.
It only eats Origin Power food that matches its attributes, is delicious, and of excellent quality.
Bai Zhi muttered, "It hasn't learned anything else, but it has learned the bad habits of the large tribe's Insect Race warriors."
"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Si Ye took a large spider silk bag from its carapace: "Didn't you say before that you wanted some God-given Origin Power food produced by my Life Seed?"
Si Ye rummaged through the large spider silk bag and took out a medium-sized spider silk bag: "I brought 100 God-given Mangrove Fruits, 25 Origin Stones each, good quality and cheap."
"25 Origin Stones each?" Hong Cha muttered to itself, isn't that the same price as its God-given Tea Seeds? Does it want to exchange one-to-one with me?
Thinking this in its heart, it still took the spider silk bag and took out a God-given Mangrove Fruit to eat, feeling the Origin Power within.
The Origin Power quality of the God-given Mangrove Fruit is very good, but it shouldn't be worth 25 Origin Stones. Its value is about 20 Origin Stones. According to the usual practice of the Flame Spider merchants, they want to make a profit, so the extra 5 Origin Stones is what they want to earn.
Si Ye asked, "How is it? Do you want it?"
"Yes!" Knowing that Si Ye and the others made a profit from the price difference, Hong Cha still decisively wanted it. It is very rare to have God-given Origin Power food that matches its attributes.
Moreover, it is in this vast ocean, and it is difficult to obtain Origin Power food suitable for its evolution. Only the Si Ye caravan can bring it the possibility of evolution, so it must let them earn these Origin Stones.
"There are also my God-given Sea Dates, which have the effect of comprehensive life-type enhancement, 72 Origin Stones each, I brought 50 of them."
Hearing Si Ye say this, Hong Cha was shocked: "The second God-given Life Seed?"
"Yes," Si Ye asked back: "Didn't I tell you?"
"No—" How can this spider be so rich? Is it even letting insects live?
"Didn't Dang Gui and the others say it either?"
"No—"
"If they didn't, then they didn't." Si Ye took out a dried red date and handed it to Hong Cha: "Try it, a God-given Origin Power food that comprehensively enhances the life-type."
This is the dried date formed after Si Ye dried the God-given Sea Dates after harvesting them, which has both delicious and practical characteristics. Hong Cha took the dried red date and stuffed it into its mouth.
Dang Gui, who was on the side, opportunely boasted: "God-given Sea Dates are also very popular in our kingdom.
Every year, many Flame Spider merchants want hundreds of them as quotas. Although its output is large, it is still a popular item in short supply on the entire continent."
"Is that so?" Hong Cha, tasting the dried God-given Sea Date, was dubious, but the dried God-given Sea Date was indeed delicious.
After eating the dried God-given Sea Date, Hong Cha thought for a moment and said, "I want all the God-given Sea Dates and God-given Mangrove Fruits."
"Do you want God-given Soapberries? My good friend's Life Seed produced them, 20 Origin Stones each, the effect is pain weakening."
Hong Cha generously said: "Give me 50!"
"Do you want Mountain Lord-level God-given Strawberries? This is a good thing I traded with the Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders in the kingdom,
130 Origin Stones each, there are only ten of them."
Hong Cha hesitated slightly: "Give me five."
"Okay, the total is 7750 Origin Stones." Si Ye quickly calculated the price. It knew that Hong Cha couldn't give up these two God-given Origin Power foods that were quite compatible with it.
"This year there are only these four kinds of God-given Origin Power food. If you want other God-given Origin Power food, I will bring it to you next year. Let's take a look at ordinary Origin Power food."
"Winged Violet Fragrant Fruit, one Origin Stone for two."
"Wood Lily Fruit, three Origin Stones for one—"
Si Ye continued to recommend various ordinary Origin Power foods to it.
Hong Cha's compound eyes rolled. It's already spent 7750 Origin Stones? Are Origin Stones so useless now? It suddenly felt a little insecure.
However, Si Ye and Bai Zhi were there showing it various Origin Power foods in turn, and it sounded like none of the Origin Power foods were indispensable, and it wanted a little of everything.
Unknowingly, it suddenly heard Si Ye say: "Okay, these Origin Power foods are worth 20,000 Origin Stones in total."
"It's already 20,000 Origin Stones?" Hong Cha was a little dazed.
Bai Zhi gathered all the spider silk bags, packed them, and recorded the quantity and total price with tree bark: "We have the price and total price of the Origin Power food on each spider silk bag. Hong Cha, you can calculate it."
"It's okay, I trust you." They have traded so many times, there is still basic trust, at worst it will check it itself later.
Si Ye said: "Hong Cha, how many God-given Tea Seeds are you planning to keep this year?"
Hong Cha: "I will sell you 500 God-given Tea Seeds. By the way, can you bring me 3,000 Origin Stones next year? I need to replenish some Origin Power to my Life Seed."
500 God-given Tea Seeds, plus the output of its own dozen or so ordinary Life Seeds, is almost enough to pay the bill.
"Okay, our caravan will bring it to you next year."
Si Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Hong Cha, actually your God-given Tea Seeds don't need to eat so much. Eating too much of the same kind of Origin Power food will have an upper limit on enhancement.
Instead of eating God-given Tea Seeds all the time, you might as well exchange them for Spider King Credit Scrolls.
With Spider King Credit Scrolls in your claws, you can exchange for the God-given Origin Power food you want at any time."
Hearing Si Ye say this, Hong Cha hesitated.
Seeing it hesitate, Si Ye continued to persuade: "We have been trading for so many years, presumably you also believe in our reputation. The God-given Origin Power food in our claws is given priority to you.
Think about it, you can't finish so many God-given Tea Seeds in a short time, just leaving them there,
the Origin Power will slowly be lost.
If you exchange them for Spider King Credit Scrolls, you don't have to worry about the problem of the Origin Power of the God-given Origin Power food being lost. Spider King Credit Scrolls are engraved in the inherited memory, items that prove our credibility, you don't have to doubt this, right?
At that time, we will bring you goods every year, which is equivalent to having fresh God-given Origin Power food to eat every year."
Hong Cha thought for a moment, and felt that the Si Ye caravan could be trusted: "Then I will trade 1000 God-given Tea Seeds to you this year, of which 500 will be exchanged for Spider King Credit Scrolls."
"Okay," it knew that Hong Cha was relatively easy to persuade here.
Hong Cha took out its own various Origin Power foods, plus a portion of God-given Tea Seeds, and gathered enough 20,000 Origin Stones to complete the trade with the caravan.
Si Ye also took out a Spider King Credit Scroll with a face value of 10,000 and three with a face value of 1,000 to purchase 520 God-given Tea Seeds from its claws, so it obtained 1020 God-given Tea Seeds from Hong Cha, obtaining more than 90% of the transaction share.
However, it really didn't lie to Hong Cha, it is better to eat several kinds of God-given Origin Power food than to only eat one kind of God-given Origin Power food, it is better this way.
