Natural God's Gift
#316 - Good things to find
While working, Fourleaf calculated that its lifeblood seed had quite a high annual output, with an average annual net profit of 820,000 Origin Stones.

However, its expenses were also high, because it had awakened seven elemental talents and needed to consume 300,000 Origin Stones worth of God-given Origin Power food each year.
It also needed to subsidize Danggui with 80,000 to 120,000 Origin Stones annually for its evolution.
Aicao worked hard with several Zuo Kings and bee colonies, and it wasn't possible not to give them some money. This cost another 30,000 Origin Stones per year.
In addition, it had already invested 30,000 Origin Stones in the Shellfish Farm and had to spend 20,000 Origin Stones annually to pay the Flame Spider warriors' wages.
Now, it had also hired six Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders, which cost more than 100,000 Origin Stones in wages each year.
It couldn't let Baizhi work for free either, right? This would cost at least 20,000 Origin Stones.
Adding it all up, it had to pay out more than 600,000 Origin Stones a year, and the remaining 200,000 Origin Stones had to be kept for emergencies.
After all, transporting bird droppings and buying ships would require a lot of Origin Stones later on.
Fortunately, it was a Flame Spider and didn't have to pay a 30% premium to buy Origin Power food; otherwise, it would have to spend tens of thousands more Origin Stones each year.
It had originally planned to return some Origin Stones to the kingdom each year, but after calculating the accounts, it was lucky enough not to have to borrow money from the kingdom.
It could only be said that life was not easy!
Fortunately, its work progress was visible in exchange for the Origin Stones it spent.
Starting near the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed, it dug a swamp pool 5 meters wide and 20 meters deep every 300 meters.
It was responsible for digging the holes. After it used its Swamp Submersion ability to soften the soil, the Watase Flame Spider Attached Mountain Lord was responsible for extracting the soft mud, and the Round Purple Flame Spider Feng Hua used its water control ability to fill the pools with water. Then, it only needed to pour various fertilizers into them to ferment.
However, from this, Fourleaf also discovered the weakness of the Swamp Submersion ability. This ability was useless against insect warriors with both Water and Earth dual-element talents, and its effectiveness was greatly reduced even against insect warriors with only Water or Earth talents.
However, their work progress was not fast because the bamboo's root system was very developed, and they had to try to dig the swamp pools deep enough.
It originally thought that with mutual assistance, they could dig several holes a day, but unexpectedly, due to Origin Power limitations, the three Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders could only dig one swamp pool per day on average.
When Fourleaf was digging the holes, it also planned to create a large swamp pool with a diameter of 100 meters and a depth of 50 meters at the center of every hundred swamp pools.
At the same time, imitating what it had done at Twin Peaks, it also created canals here. These canals were not very deep, only 0.5 meters deep and 0.4 meters wide, and were very strong after being solidified with earth and stone abilities.
According to Fourleaf's idea, if there were floods, the excess water could be discharged through these canals, and the plains would not suffer from soil erosion as a result.
If there were droughts, it could use waterwheels to draw water from the big river, and the water would flow along the canals to fill all the swamp pools, ensuring the water supply for the plains.
The ideal was beautiful, but the work was hard. Fourleaf had been working for more than half a year and had only finished digging the swamp pools within a ten-kilometer radius around the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed.
The main reason was that opening up the canals also took time. Fortunately, what they had the most of was time.
In July, Fourleaf and Baizhi agreed to pick them up at Dragon Bamboo Island around this time.
Fourleaf found Attached Earth and Feng Hua, who were working, and instructed, "You continue to work here. I'm going to Dragon Bamboo Island to pick up Baizhi and the others."
"Okay," they had already discussed it. They would pick up Baizhi and the others in about half a year. Attached Earth and Feng Hua also knew the situation. Attached Earth tapped the ground with its forelegs, sounding powerful, "Fourleaf, don't worry, we will handle things here."
"Yes, there's nothing to worry about. Just work hard." Fourleaf had already marked the locations where the swamp pools needed to be dug. As for the canals, they were simply straight lines, making them easier to open up.
Fourleaf came to Tianya Reef and first inspected the Shellfish Farm, seeing many young Flame Spider warriors adding pearl nuclei to the shellfish.
This work was neither difficult nor easy. The size of the young Flame Spider warriors was just right for this job.
In addition to shellfish farming, Danggui also opened up a kelp farming area. Kelp could be used as food for shellfish.
It could achieve self-sufficiency.
Seeing Danggui busy, Fourleaf didn't bother it but walked directly into the deep water.
It didn't even need to blow the Sea God Horn. It had already agreed with Lord Longxu to pick it up at this time and head to Dragon Bamboo Island.
"Lord Longxu, Yunshi."
Fourleaf didn't walk far before seeing Lord Longxu and Yunshi waiting for it in the water.
"Fourleaf, you've advanced very quickly." Seeing Fourleaf, Lord Longxu scanned Fourleaf with its mental power, quite surprised by its evolution speed.
"Hey, this is all thanks to Lord Longxu's support. Yunshi has also advanced very quickly." If it weren't for the two large arbors of God-given Seeds supported by Lord Longxu, Fourleaf's age advancement might not have been so fast.
Moreover, it looked at Yunshi beside it. Yunshi had the support of Lord Longxu's three King-level wild God-given Seeds,
and it had also evolved very quickly. It had now reached the Mountain Lord level, with its size soaring to 60 meters. It and Lord Longxu floated in the sea, looking like two huge reefs.
"It's also your own good luck." Speaking of this, thinking of what it was going to do this time, Lord Longxu couldn't help but say, "Fourleaf, I heard from Yunshi that you found a God-tier God-given Seed that grants Strength-type talents?
》
"Yes," Yunshi often stayed with Danggui and Baizhi, so news would leak out more or less. The main thing was that Fourleaf didn't intend to hide anything from Lord Longxu. It was normal for it to know.
Fourleaf continued, "A few years ago, we obtained a God-tier Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed with Strength-type talent granting. The Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed is the largest God-given Seed in the Star Realm. Recently, we've been working hard to replenish its fertility."
"I heard that this God-given Seed is now under your management?"
"It's currently managed by me. After I leave in the future, I'll transfer it to other Flame Spiders."
"Oh," Lord Longxu smacked its lips with regret. It had awakened the Strength-type talent itself and didn't need this fruit. Otherwise, it would definitely ask Fourleaf for one.
Thinking of this, Lord Longxu continued to ask, "Fourleaf, is there any news about God-tier fruits or God-tier God-given Seeds that grant other types of talents?"
Fourleaf said, "Lord Longxu, don't worry. I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you.
Currently, our kingdom has already mastered a God-tier God-given Seed that grants Earth-type talents. In addition, we also have news of a God-tier fruit that grants Wood-type talents, but whether it's purchasing or fruiting, it takes time. Please wait a little longer, Lord Longxu."
It didn't tell Lord Longxu about the God-tier Three-Star Apricot. It also felt that the price of this was too expensive, and it still needed to pay for it.
The main thing was that it still owed the kingdom seven or eight fruits and wouldn't be able to pay them off so quickly.
"Good, good, good." Hearing Fourleaf's words, Lord Longxu was very excited. It didn't expect that two God-tier fruits with the talents it needed would appear so quickly.
If it were relying on itself to search, who knows how long it would take. The Flame Spider Kingdom is indeed capable.
Si Ye leaped onto the Dragon Whisker Lord: "Sorry for the trouble, Dragon Whisker Lord."
"Hey, with our relationship, why say so much?" Upon receiving news of two kinds of divine-grade fruits,
the Dragon Whisker Lord was very happy.
"Then shall we depart?"
"Let's go." Si Ye picked up the Sea God Horn hanging on its leg and played it with mental intent.
A strange mental intent spread out in all directions through the Sea God Horn. The Flame Spider warriors working on the beach immediately sensed this sound wave. When Dang Gui heard this sound, he also knew that Si Ye had left the kingdom.
The shellfish in the sea also excitedly opened their shells to feel this power. Even the Dragon Whisker Lord and Yun Shi under Si Ye's feet felt their blood boiling.
Mental intent is a kind of sound wave similar to radar, and the mental intent that has been transitioned through the Sea God Horn can excite the animals and plants in the sea to follow their life instincts.
Yun Shi happily wagged its tail around the Dragon Whisker Lord. Two whales and a spider slowly moved from the seaside towards the deep sea.
Dragon Bamboo Island is divided into two halves by a divine power barrier. It is located at the southwesternmost part of the Myriad Race Continent. The Ginkgo Spider King controlled the bionic warriors to fly for five or six hours, and they traveled on and off, taking a full six days to arrive.
When approaching Dragon Bamboo Island, Si Ye manipulated the water to lift itself up: "Dragon Whisker Lord, Yun Shi, wait for me for a while."
"Okay." Seeing that Si Ye was able to manipulate the water flow, the Dragon Whisker Lord's eyes lit up. It had some doubts to ask, but temporarily suppressed them without speaking.
Si Ye rode the water flow onto Dragon Bamboo Island and came to the beach on the island. After coming up, it saw the Dragon Bamboo placed on the beach.
These Dragon Bamboos were all about 0.6 meters in diameter, and each bamboo node was 2.5-3 meters high.
The Dragon Bamboos placed on the beach were all sawn into 5 meters high, ten tied into a bundle, and a hundred bundled together.
The entire beach was densely packed with them.
A five-meter-high bamboo tube only had two bamboo nodes. Si Ye poked its head in and looked, and the bamboo node diaphragms in the middle of the bamboo tubes had also been removed.
"Haha, they've all been processed." Si Ye originally thought that they would just cut down the bamboo and remove the bamboo branches to bring them over, but it didn't expect that they had all been processed.
Si Ye looked around, but didn't see Bai Zhi and the others, guessing that they should be on the other side of the divine power barrier.
It walked towards the center of Dragon Bamboo Island, because they still had to travel back and forth between the two continents in the next few years. The channel they had previously isolated on the lake around the Starship had not been re-filled with water, but only covered with something on the surface.
Si Ye stepped over the Starship and came to the Dragon Bamboo Continent side. As soon as it came over, it noticed something different.
Previously, when it and the Ginkgo Spider King came over, the Origin Power concentration here was only about one-third of that of the Myriad Race Continent.
Now the Origin Power concentration here has reached about two-fifths of that of the Fang Race Continent. Although the increase in concentration is not much, it is still a very obvious signal.
As soon as Si Ye came over, Bai Zhi and the others who were carrying Dragon Bamboo noticed it, and they immediately greeted it happily.
"Si Ye, you're here."
"Yes," Looking at the busy spiders, Si Ye caught Bai Zhi and asked: "Bai Zhi, how much Dragon Bamboo has been felled?"
Bai Zhi also knew that Si Ye had come over, and the matter here was almost coming to an end. It reported: "We have been here for five months and felled a lot of Dragon Bamboo. According to the plan you set down at the beginning, we need 20,000 5-meter-high bamboo tubes, and we have all completed them. We are currently cleaning up the traces and finishing up."
"Very good." Hearing Bai Zhi say this, Si Ye was also satisfied. 20,000 bamboo tubes seemed like a lot,
but in reality, it wasn't.
A Dragon Bamboo pole is more than 100 meters high, and the usable part is 100 meters. This 100-meter bamboo pole can make 20 bamboo tubes, so in fact, only about 1,000 Dragon Bamboo poles were used.
"We can go back when we're done cleaning up."
"Okay, there aren't many things left to deal with." Si Ye joined the finishing work together, and with it there, some work was quickly completed.
They returned to the Fang Race Continent again, and it was easy to deal with the many bamboo tubes on the beach.
Anyway, these bamboo tubes were all tied up, so they were directly pushed into the water, and then tied together in the water to form a huge floating bamboo raft.
As for how to push the huge bamboo raft formed by 20,000 bamboo tubes, it was actually simple.
These bamboo tubes were all tied together vertically, each occupying an area of about 0.3 square meters, and 20,000 would only be 6,000 square meters, which would gather to an area of 75 * 80 meters.
The wooden and hollow bamboo raft was light and airy, and only needed to be tied to the tail of the Dragon Whisker Lord with spider silk rope to let it pull it.
Pulling such a small amount of things was easy for the Dragon Whisker Lord. Moreover, it also had water-based talent abilities, and directly manipulated the sea currents to push forward from behind, which was even easier and simpler.
The Dragon Whisker Lord dragged the bamboo raft made of bamboo tubes and sailed for another five or six days. Just as it was preparing to drag all these bamboo tubes back to the Flame Spider Kingdom in one breath, Si Ye asked it to slightly adjust the sailing direction.
"Dragon Whisker Lord, go to Star Sand Archipelago."
The Dragon Whisker Lord slightly froze: "Not going back to the Flame Spider Kingdom?"
Si Ye smiled softly: "What are we going back for? We'll have to pull these bamboo tubes out again when the time comes.
It's better to load them with bird droppings here and then pull them back."
"Okay." It didn't care anyway. It just needed to pull these bamboo tubes here, and then let Si Ye and Yun Shi discuss the rest.
Yun Shi was currently also a Mountain Lord level, and had traveled with Si Ye's caravan for so many years, and was able to survive independently.
The Dragon Whisker Lord pulled the bamboo raft directly to the place designated by Si Ye, and then untied the spider silk rope and left.
Si Ye parked the bamboo raft on the beach, let Yun Shi guard it temporarily, and then let Bai Zhi raise the spider silk flag embroidered with a four-leaf clover, and led the Flame Spider battle team to the island.
"Boss Si Ye? Assistant Bai Zhi." On the island, a Zerg warrior who was patrolling the territory cautiously watched from a distance when he saw several Flame Spiders landing on the island.
Then, after seeing the familiar four-leaf clover flag on the spider's back, he immediately flew over enthusiastically.
"Hello, long time no see." Si Ye looked at this Zerg and felt a little familiar, but had already forgotten its name, but this did not prevent it from greeting the other party.
"Mang Cao." Bai Zhi also greeted him happily. This Cloud Pattern Tiger Beetle warrior was originally an Intermediate Origin Power warrior, but now he has been promoted to the Advanced stage.
"Boss Si Ye, you haven't been to Silver Plum Continent for many years."
Mang Cao looked at Si Ye and Bai Zhi. Their carapaces were empty, and they didn't look like they were here to trade.
Then he looked at the Flame Spider battle team behind them, and then looked at the bamboo raft in the distance, and asked with some doubt:
"Boss Si Ye, what are you doing?"
Si Ye smiled and said: "Where are Mountain Lord Snake Berry and Mountain Lord Hollow Core? I have good things to look for them."
"Good things?" Mang Cao tilted his head and thought.
