Natural God's Gift
#59 - Four-leaf stall
Torch Mountain Master shared his considerations and concerns with Purple Cloud Mountain Master.
Purple Cloud Mountain Master: "Actually, I've considered this point as well. If we give the God-given Seed to a spider that already lacks resources, it will not only waste its lifeblood slot but also hinder its own evolution and growth. In the end, it will be a loss of both resources and spider. So, we need to find a wealthy spider to sell it to."
Torch Mountain Master: "None of the spiders in the kingdom are wealthy. Most of them have debts. Even those without debts wouldn't want to waste a lifeblood slot to make money for another spider. Purple Cloud, your calculation is wrong."
"Is it wrong?" Purple Cloud Mountain Master didn't mind. "According to what you said before, it would indeed be a loss. But we need to look at things from a long-term perspective. This deal might be a losing proposition for other insect races, but only we Flame Spiders can profit from it.
We can find an original Flame Spider willing to nurture this God-given Seed, and together with it, use this God-given Seed as collateral in the kingdom. First, we'll get the kingdom to approve goods worth forty million Origin Stones. We can repay this Origin Stone debt after the spider advances to the King level, and the cost is only one-tenth of the interest."
"Ah, I forgot we could do that." Hearing Purple Cloud Mountain Master's words, Torch Mountain Master struck his chelicerae together, feeling enlightened.
King-level spiders have a lifespan of a thousand years. Even if it takes five hundred years to advance, they would still have at least five hundred years to repay the debt. By then, a spider with fifty or sixty lifeblood slots could easily repay such a small debt, right?
Torch Mountain Master: "It seems like there aren't many spiders in the kingdom currently capable of taking on this debt. Lord Green Maple himself still owes a large debt, so he definitely can't do it.
Huzhang is also a poor spider, so no consideration. Not to mention other Cang Er, Small Thistle spiders.
The number of spiders capable of pre-borrowing such a large sum from the kingdom can be counted on one's fingers: Lord Ginkgo, Eight Ridges Mountain Master, Xuan Yu, Four Leaf?"
Lord Ginkgo, as the spider with the highest evolutionary level in the kingdom, not only holds a high position and great power, but the kingdom has also been nurturing it according to the standards of a Spider King. Its financial capacity is beyond doubt.
Eight Ridges Mountain Master possesses a God-given Seed of an Eight-Ridged Gourd. He has also cultivated a God-given Seed of a Tomato. He is one of the few spiders in the kingdom with two God-given Seeds. If he could have one more God-given Seed, his chances of evolving into an Insect King would greatly increase.
As for Xuan Yu, he himself possesses a Strawberry God-given Seed. After advancing to the Mountain Master level, he can apply for another God-given Seed. He probably wouldn't want a low-quality Flytrap God-given Seed.
As for Little Four Leaf, he already has three God-given Seeds, and also possesses a Divine-grade God-given Seed. Although he is currently penniless and heavily indebted, everyone knows that he is a candidate for the next generation of Spider King.
Purple Cloud Mountain Master: "Four Leaf won't work. Ordinary flytraps can eat mosquitoes and flies. A God-given flytrap would only be bigger and more exaggerated. Four Leaf is too small and doesn't have the ability to take care of himself. What if the little spider gets eaten by its own lifeblood one day?"
"Uh…" Torch Mountain Master thought about it and found it quite reasonable.
Purple Cloud Mountain Master: "Let's not consider this for now. Let's get the God-given Seed from Lord Blood Vine first, and then complete the task at hand."
Torch Mountain Master: "Should I take some God-given Origin Force food to Green Land to sell first?"
"Okay!"
… …
In the trading square, insects came and went. In addition to the Flower Mosquito Warriors of the Aedes albopictus clan, there were also Chironomidae, Culex, and Anopheles mosquitoes belonging to the mosquito family. They lived near the Flower Mosquito clan, belonging to the same mosquito family, and there were interactions between them. After hearing that Flame Spider merchants had arrived, some mosquitoes with good relations flew to inform them.
Although the Origin Force Warriors of these small tribes were relatively low in level, with the strongest being only Mountain Master level, the combined population of several tribes was comparable to that of the Flower Mosquito clan.
Most of them came to purchase Origin Force food, but some also brought their own lifeblood products to sell here, wanting to exchange them for Origin Stones or something.
Four Leaf ran not far from Long Ya's stall, spread the small floral cloth woven by himself on the ground, and set up a small stall. In addition to the watermelon seeds given by Green Land Mountain Master, there were also grape seeds, jujube pits, orange seeds, small spider silk bags, a few Origin Stones, and exquisite small shells picked up on the beach. Bai Zhi also gave him ten cherry seeds.
Although these things were relatively few in number, they could barely support a small stall. However, what made Four Leaf depressed was that the big mosquitoes all ran to Long Ya's stall to buy things.
He originally wanted to find a separate place to set up his stall, but there were too many large mosquitoes coming and going. He was almost trampled flat several times. Then, he cleverly set up his stall next to Long Ya's stall, so that at least the large mosquitoes coming and going wouldn't step on him, and some small mosquitoes who came with their elders would also patronize his business.
As for why he didn't set up his stall next to Green Land Mountain Master's stall… …
Please, the ones who can buy things from the Mountain Master are all big mosquitoes. Where would they look at the three melons and two dates on Four Leaf's stall?
A mid-level Culex mosquito warrior flew to Long Ya's stall. He was looking for Origin Force food suitable for his own evolution with a little mosquito about the same size as Four Leaf.
The little mosquito stood on the back of the Culex mosquito warrior and curiously looked around. Mosquitoes have good eyesight and quickly noticed the small stall next to Long Ya.
Four Leaf stood in front of the stall, jumping up and down to attract the little mosquito's attention: "Hello, do you want to see the goods here?"
The little mosquito released mental thoughts to the Culex mosquito warrior: "I want to buy a spider silk bag."
The Culex mosquito warrior also saw the little spider jumping up and down on the small stall next to him. The spider silk bag on his stall was just right for the little mosquito: "Go ahead!"
The little mosquito flew down from his back and landed in front of Four Leaf: "Hello, how much do you sell your spider silk bags for?"
"A spider silk bag is three Origin Stones." Seeing that he had finally attracted a customer after jumping for a long time, Four Leaf was also very happy.
"Take one,"
"Okay." Four Leaf neatly took out a spider silk bag from the stall, rolled it up, and then drew a long spider silk thread from his abdomen to tie it up.
"I'll give you a spider silk thread. You can hang the spider silk bag on your belly. I see they all do this."
"Thank you!" The little Culex mosquito was about the same size as Four Leaf. He should have also come out to see the world. He seemed much shyer than Four Leaf.
Four Leaf: "Do you want to see other goods? The prices here are very affordable."
According to the records in the inherited memory, Culex mosquitoes have Water and Wood dual-system talents. The goods on his stall are just right for them.
The little Culex mosquito hesitated for a long time before replying: "How much does a jujube pit cost?"
"Jujube pit," Four Leaf tried hard to recall what Huzhang Mountain Master had taught: "This jujube pit is produced in the territory of a high-level warrior. Its function is to strengthen joint flexibility. It is very suitable as an Origin Force food for our insect race. One Origin Stone per pit."
The little Culex mosquito cautiously asked: "I don't have many Origin Stones. Can I take two?"
"Sure, do you want me to put them in a spider silk bag? See if you need anything else." Four Leaf could tell that this was a poor little warrior like himself, but it seemed that no insect warrior was wealthy.
"What is this?" The little Culex mosquito pointed to the exquisite small shells on the stall and asked.
"This is the shell of a seaside animal. It can be used as an ornament." He had heard before coming that shells could also be exchanged for Origin Stones, so he specially brought twenty beautiful and good-looking shells.
"Can it be eaten?"
"No."
"Oh, then what's it for?" Disappointment appeared in the little Culex mosquito's compound eyes.
"Wait for me, I'll go get Origin Force food." The little Culex mosquito flew to the mid-level Culex mosquito warrior and took out a fruit pit about two or three centimeters in size from his spider silk bag and flew back.
"This black oil peach pit should be worth five Origin Stones, right?"
Four Leaf held up the black oil peach pit and evaluated it with his limited knowledge. It should be worth it.
"Then the transaction is complete." It seemed that the elders of the Culex mosquito clan had also priced their own Origin Force food before coming, otherwise how could the little Culex mosquito be so accurate?
Seeing Four Leaf announce that the transaction was complete, he couldn't wait to open the small spider silk bag, bite the spider silk thread into two sections, and tie the four corners of the spider silk bag like a bib around his body.
The little Culex mosquito twisted a jujube pit in one claw: "Hehe, I have my own spider silk bag too."
Seeing his happy appearance, Four Leaf twisted an exquisite shell on the stall and handed it to him: "I'll give you a shell to play with as a gift."
The little Culex mosquito was the first Origin Force warrior he had completed a transaction with on his own, so Four Leaf didn't mind giving him a souvenir.
"Thank you!" The little Culex mosquito was even happier to get a nice toy for free.
