Astral Ants

……

Pandan Mountain.

Some of the God-given seeds with high intelligence and understanding have independently completed the unification of the Nine Marks and evolved into the Star Mark Realm.

Currently, Long Bai and Mo Lan’s income is:
The annual income of ordinary life seeds, life seeds, God-given seeds, and wild God-given seeds is more than 21.

Night fragrance, barberry, and orchid are three sacred seeds given by gods, with an annual income of more than 147 million.

The annual territorial income of Longbai and Molan is as high as 168 million.

During the last Millennium settlement, the Chamber of Commerce distributed more than 3 million in dividends.

Almost all of the income is used to bid for Originium gems.

Be flexible and the Chamber of Commerce funds can also be appropriated...

Nan Gorgon, Bei Gorgon, Guo Xiang Lan, and Red Hinoki took the lead in breaking through and advancing to the Half-Star Realm.

"I'm not in a hurry. I care about you."

Shuangse Sang was furious: "How dare you, Ant!"

"???"

"Shuangse Sang, you have eaten 5 source gems."

The Chamber of Commerce still needs to save raw crystals to renew the lease of the Azure Star System, and the funds of the Chamber of Commerce cannot be misappropriated randomly.

"Okay. Then I won't give it to you. The territory's annual income of several million does not lack you."

"..."

The fruit pandan is slightly worse.

Nan Gorgon and Bei Gorgon are five-fold ramets, with an income of more than 8000 raw crystals per year, which is pretty good, above average.

"Yes, that's right."

Black Lotus is Bai Liu's life seed, so don't care about it.

"Shuangse Sang, how is your progress in understanding 'Umbrella Bird'?"

Long Bai asked: "What is there to be afraid of? I can't afford a set worth hundreds of thousands?"

In a short period of time, the only thing that can significantly increase the income is the divine grade and divinely gifted seeds.

This guy Shuangse Sang...

Mo Lan is also bad enough. Heihuangtao and Zhibai, together with the four big cypress trees of the Yinbai family, are surrounded by Shuangsemulang.

There is a long way to go,
Long Bai is still a little dissatisfied with the current speed.

"Yeah~yes~don't give it~"

The income from black and yellow will be considerable.

Long Bai looked left and right, turned around and looked back.

Cuihua Hanlan is definitely not good.

Long Bai returned to the mountain, rested for two days, found out the details of the territory, and approached Shuangse Sang.

According to the current income growth trend of Longbai and Molan, the source of gemstones required for the breakthrough of a god-given seed can be collected approximately every 200 years.

There are a total of 55 God-given seeds of Dragon Cypress and Mo Lan. Counting the Hammer Fruit Vine obtained from the Qiming Star System, there are 40 wild God-given seeds.

Long Bai sorted out his thoughts and said: "Then I can't give you any more source of gems. Just do the math, Ye Xiang and Bai Qi only used three."

The improvement of red cypress is relatively large, and the income is as high as 1.2/year.

Shuangse Sang was immediately discouraged and said angrily: "You guys gang up to bully me! Okay! I'll endure it for now. When I become more powerful, I'll kill you all! No one will be left alive!"

"Shuangse Sang, are you preparing some powerful attack power? Are you going to deal with Black Emperor Peach, Zhibai, and Erbai?"

"Then tell me first, what's your current situation? How many marks have you condensed? I can make arrangements."

"How is it possible? The ant pattern is small. Everyone is their own tree, why should I deal with them."

"The reverse-ecological base station also has a second-level model, which corresponds to the dormitory level. The price is not too expensive. I arranged for Juniper to purchase six sets and install them on Heihuangtao and Zhibai."

"So what? I'll blow you up to death!"

"Ant is hypocritical! What you care about is profit."

"Five pills are not enough. Prepare 5 more pills for me."

Shuangse Sang said indifferently: "Then don't give it to me. I will slowly comprehend it myself. I'm not in a hurry. It will take a hundred and eighty thousand years. I don't care."

"I'm in good condition, I won't bother you. Don't ask. Confidential."

95 trees in total.

"My mood fluctuated violently when I spoke, so it seems."

Cuihua Hanlan and Heihuang are using the source gems to break through.

Wingless is slow and very stable. It knows its own situation, so there is no need to rush it.

"Ant, don't worry!"

"It sounds like you are definitely studying attack-type abilities."

Long Bai was calm, pondered, and said seriously:

"Shuangse Sang, if not, please move. Go to the plain northeast of Xianglan Mountain, a little away from everyone..."

"Why? Why do you want me to move them? Move them away. Don't affect my ability to comprehend."

"Look at you. You want to stir up trouble again. And you say everyone is working together to bully you."

"What did I pick? Ant, you slandered me."

I'm confused,
Wuyi's mental thoughts floated over.

"Long Bai, I think I can break through."

"what?"

"Wuyi, how are you doing now? How many marks have you made?"

"45. I have understood both the elemental talent and the wind movement type ability to the extreme. I have initially integrated the two types of power. If I continue, it will be like Shuangse Sang, comprehending some other types of power, enriching Star mark system.”

"Oh--"

"Then you can break through~! You must not learn from the two-color mulberry. The power system is messy, which will affect the effect of the fruit."

"..."

Shuangse Sang was angry.

Wu Yi: "I'm also hesitating. I plan to observe Shuangse Sang and see what happens after it breaks through, and then I'll make a decision."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "No need to observe. The experience summed up by countless ancestors of the Zhi clan..."

Long Bai changed his tone and said: "Wuyi, don't feel pressured. Judging from the experience of our ancestors, in your case, if you break through and advance to the semi-star realm, the probability of 'Wuyi''s ability to change qualitatively is greater than 90%, and the wind talent The probability of enhancement is less than 10%. This is the law of the universe, the law of life, and probabilistic events. It does not change due to the will of the tree or the insect. Success or failure depends entirely on luck. "

Shuangse Sang became more energetic and echoed: "That's right. That's right. Wuyi, what are you struggling with? Whether the divine fruit produced is sold for 1 or 100 million, it has nothing to do with you. It turns out that The crystal was taken away by the black-hearted ants and mantises."

Wuyi: "I want to go to the third level source point to take root..."

"Is this something you should consider?"

Shuangse Sang: "Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Breakthrough directly!"

Wuyi asked back: "Shuangse Sang, why don't you break through?"

Shuangse Sang: "I'm different from you. These bastards ganged up to bully me. I want to develop a set of powerful abilities and kill them one by one."

Wuyi: "..."

"Heihuangtao, Zhibai, Erbai... lock Shuangse Sang up for me!"

The dragon cypress summoned the black emperor peach, wise cypress, and two cypress trees, and activated the force barrier of the reverse-ecological base station to shield the double-color mulberry.

Soul-fixing ability induction, notifying juniper, cedar, spades and other insects.

...

A wingless breakthrough is at stake.

The divine fruits produced in the Half-Star Realm can be worth as much as 500 million per fruit if the wind talent is enhanced.

But if the ability of 'Wingless' changes qualitatively, the value of a single fruit will only be 100 million to 150 million.

Two very different grades.

After receiving the news, all the insects gathered under the wingless tree.

Shuo Jin was given to Wu Yi first.

After a month of preparation,
The energy storage of Shining Gold is completed.

Wingless adjustment for optimal condition.

The potato leaf star also comes to the most comfortable late spring season.

Simply brew,
At dusk, Wuyi began to absorb the natural force at an accelerated rate.

Late at night, the rate of absorbing the Force suddenly increased.

The natural force of the secondary source point is sufficient, and a small amount of raw crystal can be put in to slightly suppress the fluctuation of the force.

The situation of Wingless is somewhat different from the previous three divine-grade and divine-given seeds.

The outbreak continued until noon the next day.

The wingless soul consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

...

Half a month later, there was no second burst of energy.

Twenty days later, still no see,

The insects are strange.

Thirty days later, there is still no movement...

However, due to the soul-fixing ability, the wingless soul is stable and in good condition.

Checked again and again and couldn't find anything wrong.

The insects patiently continued to wait.

A full month and a half later, a second burst of original energy finally occurred, which lasted for a whole day before ending.

Da Wang Bai raised doubts: "In the past, every time Wuyi broke through to a great realm, it went through eight bursts of original energy. Once every 45 days, so after calculation, it needs to sleep for 315 days for this breakthrough? It takes longer than the time it takes for me to break through. Will it be longer?"

Shuangse Sang: "Big Wang Bai, Wuyi is challenging you!" Shuangse Sang was minding his own business and shouted angrily:
"Wuyi is bold! How dare you challenge the Law Divine Tree!"

"I understand! It rebelled from Blue Island and has been thinking about rebellion..."

"..."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and shouted: "Black Emperor Peach, Zhi Bai, Second Bai, Third Bai, Fourth Bai, Fifth Bai, seal it up! Seal it! Seal it, don't let it out!"

"dare!"

"Don't make trouble!"

Shuangse Sang quickly surrendered and said: "I'm just joking to liven up the atmosphere. Okay. Now that the atmosphere is established, everyone can discuss it seriously and speak enthusiastically. Spades, you are fully responsible for the force plant, so you speak first."

Spades: "..."

Spade shook his tentacles and said: "I don't know what the situation is..."

"Theoretically speaking, there are only two situations when a force plant breaks through a major realm and extends its sleeping time: one is that it is in poor condition and its transformation is difficult; the other is that there is a big change and it takes time..."

Spades: "Your Majesty, I have reviewed it over and over again. Wingless is in very good condition. There is a high probability that it will work!"

King Bai: "That's not right! The improvement of wind talent is due to the original effect, not how powerful the original nature is. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will not be reflected in the speed of breakthrough evolution."

——Yes~
The insects clicked their antennae in agreement and pondered.

Ye Xiang leisurely said: "Wuyi is very big-hearted. It combines the wind element talent with the movement type ability. Could it be that this has induced unexpected mutations?"

——It’s very possible!

——This is probably the reason!
All the insects and trees unanimously agreed with solemn expressions.

For a moment I couldn't think of any other reasons.

So, when new problems arise, what will the mutation look like?
The key is, is it getting better or worse?

Long Bai led the insects and waited nervously.

A month and a half later, the third source of energy erupted.

The fourth and fifth energy explosion...

Once again, contrary to the expectations of the insects and trees, Wuyi had just completed his fifth burst of original energy, and his soul consciousness woke up from his deep sleep...

Half-star realm!
Breakthrough evolution is over.

"???"

From all directions, questioning mental thoughts came at him.

"Wuyi, what's going on?"

"Wuyi, what are you making a fuss about?"

"Wuyi, what happened?"

……

"Quiet! Quiet!"

"Don't make any noise!"

"Listen to Wuyi's explanation!"

"..."

Wuyi was puzzled and confused for a while. He calmed his mind and sensed himself. After a brief realization, with the tree trunk as the center, a breeze swept past the ground, and the wind energy field unfolded.

"My wind energy field finally has some use..."

"In my wind energy field, you can more clearly understand the power of the wind element, and it can assist in understanding most types of wind abilities."

Wuyi concluded: "Auxiliary type original energy field!"

"Forehead--"

Long Bai: "Wuyi, what else is there?"

Wuyi was silent for a while and said anxiously: "Something's wrong! It seems that only four flowers can bloom at a time."

"What about the flower and fruit cycle? Has the yield decreased?"

"It's not clear yet."

"What is the function of the divine fruit? Is there any talent enhancement?"

"My star core ability is a little messy, not sure."

"..."

Long Bai thought silently for two seconds, then raised his claws to hit a series of prosperity marks, and then green mist rose up and enveloped the tree.

"Wuyi, don't panic! You recover first! Gather your strength and bear fruit as soon as possible."

"……OK."

Wuyi agreed.

……

A breakthrough in evolution,
The potato leaf star has completed its three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

It was early winter, and the cold wind from the north was whining and roaring.

The lives of the little warriors have grown and stabilized.

Long Bai arranged to divide into two teams, led by Bai Fan and Bai Qian respectively, and go to Gongfenxing Commercial District to wander around to familiarize themselves with the environment and increase their knowledge.

There are also various novel, interesting and useful gadgets for sale on the commercial street, and there are insects making delicious food for sale.

Long Bai gave each of the little warriors 3 yuan of raw crystal pocket money. If there was anything he particularly wanted to eat or wanted, he could buy it himself.

...

Two months later,
At the end of winter, the temperature warms up.

In Huojing Mountain and Mud Square, Long Baizheng is personally guiding Catalpa, Baiji, Wulunzhu and other Zerg warriors to develop their abilities.

Spades crossed the space and teleported.

"My King! Wingless has bloomed! There are only four of them! Its single fruit production has dropped from 7 to 4."

"The divine fruit produced... was originally a random probability, one of the two, mutated, and turned into a combination of two effects."

"The first one, what everyone is looking forward to, is the awakening of the wind talent and the strengthening of the wind talent; the second one is the transformation of the 'wingless' ability, which is greatly strengthened and improved, and can be directly condensed into a 'scar' after use."

Spades concluded: "A single fruit has two effects, and correspondingly, the output is almost halved. As for the flower and fruit cycle, it's hard to say yet. In theory, there will be no change."

"it is good!"

Long Bai responded briefly.

"Your Majesty!"

Cedar and Juniper followed the space teleportation and arrived.

Xiangbai looked at Longbai, then at Spades, and asked: "Your Majesty, the unit price of the half-star realm wingless fruit must be very high!"

Long Bai moved his tentacles in recognition.

Xiangbai said excitedly: "The wind talent enhancement is worth 500 million raw crystals, and the wingless ability after transformation is also worth 100 million to 150 million. In total, 600 million to 650 million?"

"Based on the minimum of 600 million, four fruits are produced at a time, and 4 million raw crystals are produced. Based on the 2400-year flower and fruit cycle, the average annual income is around 66? If Wingless is powerful, the income can be increased."

Long Bai tapped his tentacles.

You can calculate it like this.

Based on this calculation, Wuyi is considered to be among the high-income earners among the divine grade and divinely gifted seeds.

The annual income of most divine products and semi-star realms is between 10 and 20, and those with more than 20 are high incomes.

Night fragrance and barberry are super high income.

If a single talent is improved, Wuyi can also enter the ranks of ultra-high income.

If it were a single Wingless ability, Wingless would be a pretty decent god.

The current situation is a compromise...

Long Bai and Wu Yi were both greedy.

Long Bai wants to go two ways together...

Wuyi also wants to merge into one...

I never thought that it would end up like this.

Long Bai didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, and was speechless for a while.

"The changes that happened to Wuyi seem to have never happened to any tree before. Maybe there were insects or trees who tried it, but there was no such change as Wuyi. A brand-new knowledge point?"

Long Bai waved his tentacles and ordered: "Yun Bai, please go and inform the Baijing Chamber of Commerce about Wu Yi's situation."

"Okay. Long Bai Ant King."

Jue Bai turned around and left.

The White Crystal Chamber of Commerce will record this uncommon evolutionary situation and compile it into a complete set of knowledge related to divine-grade and divine-given seeds, which will be spread throughout the Zerg civilization through the 'Knowledge Compass'.

There is no need to hide this kind of information.

If possible, provide more magical items similar to Wingless to facilitate everyone's communication and exchange.

Long Bai greeted and went together to the wingless tree to check the situation.

...

...

Small ants have a relatively short lifespan.

When Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain during his trip, there was another important thing to do, which was to replenish the ant colony with small and micro ants.

...

Bai Wei tricked many small and medium-sized insect groups from the Qiming Star System into taking root in the relatively remote first-level source star system on the interstellar trade route.

correspond,

The itineraries of Bai Wei and other traveling merchants increased, and the time required for a round trip increased from the initial 6 years to 8 years.

After Long Bai waited for two years in Xianglan Mountain, Bai Wei's caravan returned from its business trip. After some preparations, Long Bai set off on Bai Wei's Tianqing 1.

Not only visiting the familiar ants and bees.

Taking into account the future development, from the Sheep's Hoof Star System to the Xiang Huo Star System, the large and small tribal forces at the first-level source points along the way will be visited one by one. Let's get to know each other first. (End of chapter)
