Astral Ants

[Time: 78th Era-143 Yuan-905 Years]

Blue star system, Pandan star.

At noon when the sun is shining brightly,
Xingyun Zhi, who was lying lazily under a jacaranda tree not far from the entrance of the ant nest to enjoy the shade, was suddenly startled and jumped up.

Run quickly up the hill and look around,

In the square in the distance, a star spider with a span of about fifteen meters docked. The hatch opened and the two kings jumped out...

The two kings felt it keenly, raised their heads, and looked directly at each other.

……

"Longbai!"

Mo Lan shouted, "Xingyun Zhi is lazy!"

"..."

Long Bai jumped off the Star Spider and looked up.

Xingyun Zhi activated his wind and thunder abilities, flashed and flashed, and rushed over. He greeted with a guilty conscience, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are here~"

Xingyun Zhi felt bad and spoke quickly, introducing the situation, "Good news! A little flame spider was finally born! It was born thirty-four years ago. At that time, I said that seeding and naming were important things, and we had to wait for the second king. We'll decide when we get here. Zhuanglang didn't listen, so they decided to use poisonous wheat as the seed and named it 'Du wheat'."

"???"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were awe-struck when they heard this. They straightened up their legs and straightened their antennae, feeling angry and annoyed.

"Poison wheat?"

"Isn't one poisonous bean enough?"

"For the work of cultivating flame spiders, President Bai Wei has given me a sufficient salary."

"Is this a joke?"

"Finally, a little flame spider warrior came out!"

"Poisonous wheat is the seed of destiny?"

"How did you come up with the name Dumai?"

"This is going to trick President Bai Wei into death!"

"Did it happen with Xuanlang?"

Mo Lan was stern and questioning.

Long Bai, who had always been calm, became unusually calm.

"It's not all sugarcane..."

Seeing that he had successfully diverted his attention, Xingyun Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The situation at that time was like this. The little warrior was discovered by Juniper. Everyone gathered together to celebrate, and then they talked about the issue of destiny and naming..."

"Juniper suggested that we choose the life seeds for the little flame spider warrior early. Then there were many insects like silver cypress, rainbow ying, green maple, and red maple. After a discussion, we found a lot of seeds and put them together for the little warrior. select."

Xingyun Zhi: “I don’t know which guy brought a poisonous wheat seed over, and it was chosen by the little flame spider warrior. I felt it was inappropriate at the time and strongly requested to change it, but Zhuanglang said that according to the rules, choose the right one. If it’s old, you can’t change it…”

"..."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were speechless.

"It's just nonsense!"

Mo Lan angrily scolded, "Fate is a major event that affects a lifetime, how dare you choose randomly? What if you have a poisonous name and have the same temperament as Dudou? What should President Bai Wei do if you don't want to? Stay with our Pandan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Mo Lan, don't worry. Go back and ask Xuanlang."

Long Bai's tentacles swung, whipped twice on Nebula Zhi's head, and asked: "Is there anything else to gain?"

"Have!"

Xingyun Zhi spoke quickly and reported: "Eight years ago, I discovered a god-given seed of Melia azadirachta in the southern hemisphere of Xuelan Star!"

Mo Lan raised his tentacles and planned to hit this guy. Hearing this, he paused and praised happily:

"Xingyun Zhi is very efficient at work!"

"The Second King taught you well!"

"Any other gains?"

"In addition, we found a total of 11 little warriors of various colors, including a cloud-eyed mantis warrior..."

"Wow! Mantis warrior!"

Mo Lan cheered and asked: "Where is it? Which planet?"

Xingyun Zhi: "We arranged to take root in the northern hemisphere of Shilan Star, in the Molan Mountain."

"Let me take a look!"

Mo Lan boarded a first-class Star Spider and drove away in a hurry.

Long Bai continued to ask: "How is the Snow Bumblebee Queen, Nebula Huckleberry doing?"

Xingyun Zhi: "Successfully evolved to Lord level."

"it is good!"

Long Bai asked again: "Where is Bailiu?"

Xingyun Zhi: "Han Lanxing, are you going with Heiti?"

"All right."

Long Bai ordered: "Go to Hanlanxing first and inform everyone to gather..."

...

Long Bai called all the Zerg warriors together to say goodbye.

Bai Liu, Xing Yun Zhi, Du Mai, and the two Zerg warriors who had broken through to the evolutionary king level in the past sixty or seventy years, returned to the Sheep Hoof star system in the Star Spider.

Mo Lan is responsible for the search for God-given seeds and takes care of the little warrior part-time.

Long Cypress lives on the Panlan Star and continues to cultivate specialized blue ants.

It is planned to cultivate 200 million animals on each living planet in the azure star system. Calculating the probability, two Zuowangs can be guaranteed to emerge.

...

...

Time flies, another six hundred years.

This round of harvest, there are 3 God-given seeds, but they are all above the average line. In total, the income is not as good as the one God-given seed with manifest veins and different wings in the previous cycle of years.

The number of young warriors is quite impressive, reaching 127.

[Time: 78th Era-144 Yuan-433 Years]

Jueba, Xingyunrong, and Xingyunnai arrived on time on President Xiaopeng’s Star Spider.

Accompanying them are 58 little warriors, all of whom have broken through the Evolutionary Star Mark Realm and come to the Azure Star System to report and officially join the work.

Examine the star marks, join the military department or plant department according to their abilities, and assign them to help under the deputy leaders and star masters.

On the side of the azure star system, headed by Bumblebee Queen Nebula and Cranberry, there are also 92 little warriors from the Evolutionary King level and the Three Marks Realm. Together with Juniper, they return to the Sheep Hoof Star System and then go to the Huo Muli Star System to settle down.

...

The number of specialized blue ants in the pandan star ant nest has reached 200 million. Longbai moved the tiger orchid star ant nest and continued to cultivate it.

...

The years are long.

Suddenly one day, Shuanglang and Baiji came over and looked carefully. There was a small yellow flame spider lying on Shuanglang's forehead.

Another little flame spider warrior!

"Longbai Ant King!"

Julang greeted him and said happily: "Little flame spider warrior! This little guy is so smart. He was found in the wild. He lived alone for half a year. He absorbed the natural force and evolved to the second age..."

Bai Ji raised his paw and said, "I found it on Shilan Star! It found a Seed of Blue Grass as its life seed. Its name is also called 'Stop Blue'."

"..."

"Chip Lancao?"

"Got a name?"

"Alright."

Long Bai began to wonder whether he should inform the second king.

Xuan Lang: "Yi Lan, please say hello, Chief Long Bai!"

"Leader Longbai~"

The little guy was very vigilant. From time to time he glanced at the entrance of the ant nest where the ants were busy coming in and out. He was a little nervous and raised his front legs in greeting in a slightly stiff manner.

"Little warriors who have survived independently in the wild are very alert."

As Long Bai commented, his thoughts turned, and the meditating artist deep in the ant nest suddenly appeared across the space, took out a jar of diluted ant king honey, and handed it over to Julang.

"Bai Ji, go and inform the second king."

"Ok."

Bai Ji was not in a hurry to leave. He suppressed his mental energy and asked a little excitedly: "Your Majesty, I heard from Xuan Lang that if we train a little flame spider warrior, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce will pay 1000 million raw crystals as a reward?"

"Yes... Juniper helps to collect it..."

Long Bai looked at Xuanlang.

Xuanlang was happy and said: "Baiji discovered Yilan, let's give it the reward."

The annual income of Longbai and Molan territories, including all divine products, god-given seeds and ordinary life seeds, is only over 3 million.

For other insects, ten million is a huge windfall.

Longbai gently shook his antennae and said, "The money given by President Bai Wei should be transferred to Ganlang first. Ganlang, you can distribute it privately. Don't spread the word, or you can make other warriors in the Chamber of Commerce stop doing their work and go into the rain forest every day to look for little flame spiders."

"it is good--"

"clear."

Xuanlang and Baiji agreed.

Long Bai waved his paw, signaling Bai Ji to quickly inform Mo Lan.

So far, there are no major problems with the little warriors Mo Lan brought out.

The little flame spider warrior named Ji Lan was still left in the care of Mo Lan, who would provide unified management and instruction.

Sugarcane focuses on taking care of the large number of common little flame spiders.

...

...

The number of specialized blue ants in the Tiger Orchid Star Ant Nest reached 200 million, and Long Cypress moved it to the Cicada Orchid Star to continue cultivating it.

Another day,
The sky is dark,

Longbai patrols the ant nest daily, releases pheromones, stimulates the differentiation of ant eggs and larvae, and checks the development status of the larvae.

After processing, before hibernating to rest, habitually activate the ability to fix the soul and sense it for a circle.

My heart skipped a beat.

Finally, another specialized blue ant whose soul has transformed and can evolve into the King of Zuo!

Long Bai's figure flashed, and he rushed to the ant nest, caught the ants, observed them closely, and tested them with blue beads refined from black lotus seeds to confirm that they were correct.

A great event worth celebrating.

Long Bai notified all the insects to stop work and take a vacation.
Nearly two hundred new and old soldiers gathered at the lakeside of District 1001 of Hulan Star to hold a grand banquet.

Juniper suggested: "Second King, please give Xiao Zuo a name first. It will be convenient for you to call him."

"Hmm~"

"That makes sense~"

"Nebula trifoliate and Nebula pomelo are both named after citrus plants, so why not continue..."

Mo Lan tilted her head and thought with a serious expression.

Think deeply.

Among citrus plants, there are many suitable names for Zuowang, such as citron, orange, sweet orange, kumquat, kumquat, lemon, lemon, lemon...

'Citron' has the most artistic temperament, but there is already a street named 'Citron' in the business district of Gongfenxing in the Sheep's Hoof Star System.

We want to settle in the Sheep's Hoof star system for a long time, so it's somewhat inappropriate to have repeated names. Mo Lan said: "Then let's have Xingyun Orange."

“Orange sounds delicious!”

"Nebula orange has a higher artistic content than Nebula pomelo."

"The name still depends on the two kings."

All the insects moved their tentacles in agreement.

Mo Lan lightly waved his tentacles to signal for silence, and analyzed:

"There are six first-generation and second-generation assistant kings. When the third-generation assistant king was raised, the situation was quite special, so there were only four. We can set a rule that every six assistant kings are one generation."

"Currently, there are five fourth-generation princes: Xingyun Rong, Xingyun Nai, Xingyun Zhi, Xingyun Pomelo, and Xingyun Xiangcheng..."

"So, let's name the sixth prince in advance, Xingyun Laimeng? Or Xingyun Limeng? Which one do you think is better?"

"..."

Can a name be drafted in advance?

Did you already have a name before you were born?

Isn’t it too miserable for King Zuo?
All the insects choked and looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai solemnly moved his tentacles and said: "The second king's suggestion is very good. The name of the sixth and fourth generation Zuo Wang should be determined in advance as 'Xingyun Laimeng'. Now that he has a name, Zuo Wang should not be far away. "

The king has said so...

"Makes sense."

"Naming it in advance can increase the probability of King Zuo being born."

All the insects moved their tentacles in agreement.

Juniper raised his claws again and suggested: "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the logistics ants? Next, how about cultivating more combat ants? Specialized soldier ants? Divine items that give power are the most expensive. I suggest cultivating more specialized soldier ants."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and objected, saying: "We still need at least ten Zuwang who are good at refining. Cooperate with the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, center on the Sheep Hoof Star System, radiate to all directions in the universe, and spread the trade of queen honey and genetic agents... …”

Everyone chatted while eating,

Long Bai detailed the next development plan of the Chamber of Commerce.

...

...

Long Bai had already made an agreement with Citi Mountain to help find President Shui Gan to lease the zero-level source point and reclaim the source point.

The agreed date was 2000, and 1200 years have passed. Therefore, the period of the blue star system has been extended from 600 to 800 years.

800 years of time are like clear springs in mountain streams, skipping by with jingling sounds.

[Time: 78th Era-145 Yuan-233 Years]

President Xiaopeng arrived on time in his Star Spider and stopped at the square in District 1001 of Cicada Orchid Star.

The hatch opened, and Bai Wei and the leader of Holly Oak jumped out first.

Long Bai noticed the movement, flinched, and rushed over immediately.

"Longbai Ant King!"

"Leader Longbai!"

Bai Wei and Holy Oak greeted.

"Longbai Ant King!"

"Your Majesty~"

Juniper then came out.

Xingyun Zhi finally broke through to the semi-star realm, half-dead and hanging his tentacles, following behind Jue Bai.

In the rear cabin, Jasper, Rotor Wing, Bell Flower, Xiang Ping, You Nan and other little warriors appeared one after another.

"Longbai Ant King, have any flame spider warriors been born in the past eight hundred years?"

Bai Wei asked.

Long Bai replied: "There is one. His name is 'Li Lan'. He should be at Shilan Star right now, training hard with Mo Lan."

"Oh--"

Bai Wei perked up.

Another flame spider warrior!
Three thousand two hundred years ago, three were born, an average of one every thousand years.

Not easy!

Bai Wei asked again: "Where is King Zuo? Is there a new King Zuo born?"

Long Bai: "Yes! King Zuo evolved from a special blue ant. His name is Xingyun Xiangcheng. He was born a little later and just evolved to the king level a few years ago."

"Great!"

Bai Wei was overjoyed again, and then regretted: "In a short period of time, we still have no ability to open up a third interstellar trade route. We have insufficient funds and cannot afford to buy a third Star Spider."

Long Bai was stunned for a moment and asked: "President Bai Wei, your Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money over the years, right?"

Bai Wei: "The 1 billion loans from Azure No. 2 and No. 11 must be collected. The members of the Chamber of Commerce have grown and evolved, with an average of 13 billion, and some spiders even spent billion..."

11 million?

Dragon cypress, holm oak, and juniper were all stunned, and the little warriors jumped up and down in surprise when they heard this.

At the semi-star stage, every age of evolution, eating only God-given force food, costs only 1 million, right?
Then he reacted again.

Bai Wei also included the source gems.

The life of the flame spider warrior is related to the interstellar navigation ability. If the financial strength allows, he will definitely invest in the source of gems to enhance it. The first three pills have the best effect, so I should use three pills first.

Secondly, there are all kinds of divine fruits.

There is also the cost of purchasing Wang Baizi and Technology Star Core that only Long Bai and Jue Bai know.

The cost of 13 billion is not an exaggeration.

Bai Wei said, then asked: "Long Bai Ant King, the ten thousand year lease of the Azure Star System has been over six thousand years, how much money do you still have to pay for the renewal of the lease? How much do I need to prepare for you?"

Long Bai looked at Jue Bai.

Yuanbaihui reported: "Three hundred years ago, all the God-given seeds of Longbai Ant King and Leader Molan used the source of gems as scheduled to break through and advance to the semi-star realm. They misappropriated part of the chamber of commerce funds, and according to the plan, Starting 120 years ago, the territory’s output was used to backfill the embezzled chamber of commerce funds…”

Currently,

Long Bai and Mo Lan's life seeds are divinely given seeds, with an annual income of 36 raw crystals.

All 40 wild God-given seeds are stuck in the Star Mark Realm, and the annual income is nearly 10 raw crystals.

The divine grade God-given seed has an annual income of 241.5 million raw crystals.

Coupled with the income from ordinary life types, the territory's annual income is just over 288 million.

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce trade dividends amount to more than 33 yuan every year.

In total, Long Bai and Mo Lan's annual income is 321 million yuan.

120 billion of the Chamber of Commerce's funds were misappropriated. In the next 3900 years, all the profits of Long Bai and Mo Lan will be included in the Chamber of Commerce's funds to make up for the shortfall...

The Chamber of Commerce has always maintained 100 billion funds in its account.

After listening to the report, Long Bai made a rough estimate and said: "The rent is 500 billion. Our Pandan Chamber of Commerce can raise 400 billion, and we may need to borrow 100 billion."

Bai Wei: "...Okay."

Bai Wei: "Then next, I'll pay attention to some expenses."

Long Bai said gratefully: "Thank you in advance, President Bai Wei!"

Bai Wei felt silently uncomfortable.

As a result, we won't be able to buy a third Star Spider for the next four thousand years.

Seeing this, Long Bai suggested: "President Bai Wei, most of your members of the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce have reached the 7th, 8th, and 9th stages of the Half-Star Realm? Then in the next four thousand years, you will take more turns to exercise. ability, and strive to be promoted to the planetary realm as soon as possible.”

Bai Wei: "That's right. This is what Hongtao and I have planned. When the business reaches its current scale, the half-star level strength is not enough."

Long Bai and Jun Bai moved their tentacles together in agreement.

Holm Oak: "..."

Holy Oak on the side asked in time: "Chief Longbai, after two thousand years of in-depth development, the life coverage rate of the six planets should reach 90%, right?"

"Barely up to par."

"What about the orchards and forests that are cultivated and managed by insects? How much area is there?"

"The coverage area has reached 60 square kilometers, and the actual intensive farming area is about 30 square kilometers. It has just started and there is no harvest yet."

"Forehead……"

The leader of the Holy Oak paused for a moment and then asked: "How was the harvest? How many God-given seeds have been harvested in the past eight hundred years?"

Long Bai understood its meaning and said truthfully: "3. The quantity is quite satisfactory, but with good luck, the seeds given by God are of high quality. According to the prevailing market price, the value is about 60 billion raw crystals."

Long Bai added: "So far, the cumulative value of the God-given seeds we have harvested has exceeded 250 billion. We rented the source point, and after various discounts, the actual cost was 261 billion, which barely equaled the rent. The following 3900 years of output That’s the gross profit. Based on the previous harvest and the investment in excavation equipment and insect power, we will still have a considerable profit at the end of the ten thousand years.”

"Oh!"

“As long as it’s profitable!”

"I'm relieved too..."

The leader of Holm Oak chanted, raised his head, activated his super brain power, comprehensively considered, analyzed, and silently calculated.

According to the revenue efficiency of Pandan Chamber of Commerce.

Calculated based on the normal rent of 500 billion per ten thousand years, there is still a very generous profit.

There is always a problem in the Pandan Chamber of Commerce: Chong Dan is weak.
If it were managed by Citicorp, which has a large number of insects, the income would only be higher, not lower.

Shengqi was calculating, her heart was burning, and she lowered her head and asked: "Chief Longbai, do you need to make arrangements for the new little warrior?"

Long Bai: "Yes——"

Just in time, Nebula Xiangcheng noticed the movement and rushed to the square surrounded by the ant army.

Long Bai ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain Bai Wei, Holy Oak, Juniper, Xiao Peng and the new little warriors to eat and rest.

Long Bai urgently notified other insect gatherings in the azure star system.

Citi Hill rental source, Long Bai needs to go to help as soon as possible.

The six assistant kings, Juniper, Green Cypress, Silver Cypress, Heiti, Black Leaf, and Black Persimmon, returned to Xianglan Mountain to rest, and then followed Long Bai to help Citizen Mountain.

There is also the cyan-blue Yin butterfly warrior Jasper, whose special abilities can play a huge role in the process of reclaiming the wasteland, and also comes with it.

All bug work slightly adjusted,
The affairs of the azure star system will be left to Mo Lan to handle.

As the big leader, Long Bai couldn't act too simply. He traveled to various planets, personally arranging the hilltops for the new little warriors to live in, and assigning detailed tasks.

It took thirteen days to process everything.

Say goodbye to Mo Lan, greet the insects, board the Star Spider, and prepare to leave...

The space fluctuated, and a first-level star spider emerged from the star net and hurried over.

The hatch opened, and Xingyun Zhi stepped out.

"Your Majesty! Wait a moment!"

"???"

The insects saying goodbye to each other simultaneously sent out mental thoughts of questions and questioning.

Xingyun Zhi was dumbfounded, gently waving his tentacles, and said, "Your Majesty, come here, I have something to tell you..."

Long Bai's eyes narrowed.

Mo Lan's tentacles flashed with silver light, and she scolded: "Are there any insects here? What's the matter? Just tell me."

Xingyun Zhi shrank in fear, "Well... forget it... it's okay... Goodbye, Your Majesty! Have a safe trip, Your Majesty."

Is there anything that cannot be said in public? Long Bai jumped off the Star Spider in a flash, waved his claws, and a night barrier enveloped himself and Xing Yun Zhi.

"Xingyun Zhi, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Shi Lanxing has discovered another god-given seed, the Soul-Constructing Tree!"

"what?!"

Long Bai was so shocked that his tentacles trembled. (End of chapter)
