Astral Ants

Chapter 854 Return to Xianglan Mountain

The star spider that travels at 1200 times the speed of light is amazing.

The journey was about 336 million light years, and it was completed in more than 2800 years, saving more than years.

Sishu, Xia Li and Zi left immediately. The journey took nearly fifteen thousand years, so they had to go back and report to Lord Yiwei.

Especially purple.

The results of this year's Daylight Sea Battlefield were far below expectations. The Winged Overlord must be very angry and would give him a lecture. If you can't find any bugs at this time...

After all, Zi is not a warrior of the Holy Butterfly Tribe, and if things go wrong, he might be kicked out of the Baijing Chamber of Commerce.

If Zi follows the Lord Yiwei, he can receive a fixed salary of 10 original crystals a year in the Star Realm.

How can a bug that has nothing but some elemental talent and some combat talent and has no special skills earn 10 yuan a year if it leaves the Baijing Chamber of Commerce?
Purple is worth a try.

If you get kicked out, it will be a tragedy.

However, after returning, he told Lord Yiwei that he had managed to obtain a dusk fruit, awakened his light talent, and eaten a full portion of dark rose gems, so that Lord Yiwei would know that he was not hanging out with some bad bugs and that there shouldn't be any problems.

...

[Time: 78th Era-189 Yuan-781 Years]

The star system of Capricornus.

The Glorious Throne, which was magnified to an exaggerated degree and was densely packed with insects, teleported from deep space, and landed directly in the Citi Hill Territory of the North 7551 District with a flash.

After saying hello to Quandong, Linnan, Jinhe and Zilin, and briefly describing the results of the trip, the Glorious Throne took off in a hurry, continuously teleporting through space, and returned straight to Xianglan Mountain.

Lakeside.

Under the tree planted by the azure god.

Zhanlan called out in surprise: "Longbai, you are back!"

"Ant!"

"The ants are back!"

"The ants are back!"

"This way! This way!"

"Everyone, pay attention here!"

"Fat Ant is back!"

Nan Qian and Bei Qian shook their mental powers and shouted.

--knew!

——Stop arguing, you two!
——The ants are finally back!

——Huh? Is the mantis here too?
——Battle in the Daylight Sea Arena?
——What are the results of the battle?
——Did you get first place?

——Who else participated?
——Red longhorn beetle?

——Did Longniu get a place?

Xianglan Mountain was boiling in an instant, and the spiritual power of the trees came pouring in, clamoring and asking questions.

The giant cypress, juniper, cedar, mulberry, white willow, red sedge, Wulun column, holly and other insects that stayed in Xianglan Mountain all crossed the space and rushed over.

At Huangtao Mountain next door, Yudou, who was left behind to guard the place, rushed over after hearing the news.

"Your Majesty!"

"Second King!"

"President Bai Wei!"

"..."

After a lively greeting.

Da Wangbai said doubtfully: "Longbai, Molan, President Baiwei, Vice President Hongtao, and Hongfeng, the energy aura on your bodies has changed a lot!"

Red Maple was the first to lose his temper. He raised his claws high, shook his tentacles vigorously and shouted, "Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, be quiet first! Listen to me, I am the 83rd! Top !"

"..."

Great King Bai said faintly: "In fact, we have seen the ranking of the Daylight Sea Arena Battle, and everyone knows it."

Shuangse Sang said disappointedly, "Isn't it said that the Daylight Sea Arena Battle is a battle of the highest standard that gathers the most capable fighters from all the Zerg race? Is it that the Zerg fighters of this session are not good enough? Or have you Zerg fighters never been good enough?"

Red Maple: "Isn't it because I'm too strong?"

Hong Feng reminded: "The Shield Pillar Patriarch from the next door Huaqi Mountain and the student of the Saint Butterfly Tribe's Winged Lady Lord, Boss Lan Ying, were eliminated in the first stage of the Daylight Sea Arena Battle."

"You think the Shield Pillar and Blue Jacaranda are not good enough? The Holy Butterfly Tribe has another most powerful one, named Ling. It is the hope of the entire tribe. More than a dozen overlords take turns to guide it in battle. It has an unlimited supply of the universe's top resources. It eats them without a second thought, whether it can be used or not."

"Guess which fighter this is?"

Green and Red Kiwi God-Given Seed said: "If I remember correctly, the Saint Butterfly Warrior named 'Ling' should be the fourteenth. This ranking is unworthy of the resources it uses. Longhorn Beetle is powerful!"

"Ha ha!"

Red Maple raised his antennae, proudly boasting, "In the first phase of the round-robin battle, I fought all 16 games, and won all 16 games! In the material sea battlefield with a radius of 1 billion kilometers, I killed everyone who came up. Do you accept this?"

"This……"

The trees were speechless.

One or two games can be said to be an accident or a trick.

To win all 16 games in a row, it would be impossible without real skills.

Led by the most tricky two-color mulberry, the southern water chestnut, the northern water chestnut, the black and yellow, the king orchids, the orchid grasses, and all the other trees were speechless.

It's hard to understand.

When did Hong Feng become so powerful?
Shuangse Sang turned his mental power, aimed at Mo Lan, and asked: "Mantis? What about you? I didn't see your name! Don't sue me, you are not even as good as the red longhorn beetle."

"Heh~heh~"

"joke!"

Molan raised her head, waved her antennae disdainfully, and refused to argue.

Red Maple didn't want to be interrogated further, so he quickly helped to announce, "The Second King is invincible! The Second King is the champion of the 455th Daylight Sea Arena! The Dusk God Tree commented that the Second King's combat power has surpassed all the warriors in the past. There has never been an ancient insect before, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future. Even if there is, it is impossible for him to surpass the Second King."

"???"

All the trees on Xianglan Mountain and the insects that stayed behind were stunned, and then filled with ecstasy.

The Bauhinia star system is, after all, a secondary source point with a large insect population and prosperous trade.

During business district activities, you can often hear news about the daylight sea arena battles.

The rankings have already been passed on.

The Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce even produced a holographic compass that produced exciting battles and sold it.

The most popular one is the duel between Eleven Colors and Green Blood Dragon Lychee, which is truly unprecedented and a final battle that far exceeds the power limit of the Star Realm.

King Bai asked tentatively: "Seven-color mantis, eleven colors? Molan, you really changed your name to join the battle!"

Two-Colored Sang: "I told you! The eleven-color one is a mantis in disguise! I remember the silly mantis said his name was the Eleventh Mantis King... and the self-destruct ability looks like my Umbrella Bird! Right?"

Shuangse Sang was very proud and excited, and shouted angrily: "Good job, Mantis! You used my ability without my permission, and you got first place..."

Shuangse Sang: "Where's the reward? Give me half! 1200 times the speed of light star spider, right? Convert it into original crystals for me, and then exchange it for source gems."

"Sang Shuangse, are you still asleep?"

"Your crappy ability is not useful at all."

Mo Lan ruthlessly despised, "I have optimized the Umbrella Bird to the extreme, but what's the result? Attack, can't break the defense. Defense, vulnerable. Facing a truly powerful warrior, your Umbrella Bird is nothing."

"What determines victory or defeat is my wisdom beyond the reach of insects, and my self-created white hole ability. It has nothing to do with you, Two-Colored Sang."

Two-Colored Sang was furious, "Then what are you doing with my umbrella bird?"

Molan: "A little trick. A smoke screen."

Shuangse Sang was mad, "Mantis, come here and see if I can blow you to death!"

Mo Lan said calmly: "I have eaten the giant dragon bamboo fruit and a portion of dragon bamboo crystal. Humph, you little sapling from the planetary realm, I can stand there and let you bomb me for ten years, and you can't hurt me at all."

Two-color Sang: "Come! Come! Come! Come here!"

The two-colored mulberry shouted angrily.

Seeing that Shuangse Sang was about to explode with anger,

Long Bai quickly stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing. Stop arguing. Let's talk about business..."

Longbai scolded, "Molan, please stop talking. Be careful not to make Shuangse Sang angry to death."

"Let's get down to business. Let's get down to business."

Molan raised his claws and held down the dragon cypress, waving his tentacles to signal everyone to disperse. The divine pattern on his forehead shone, and a star spider shining with colorful light landed steadily.

"This is the reward for the first place in this year's Daylight Sea Arena, the leader-class star spider 'Little Dragon Cypress' that travels at 1200 times the speed of light! I designed the paint job, isn't it beautiful?"

"..."

"Pretty!"

"beautiful!"

“It’s all art!”

“As always, great name!”

"Extremely Beautiful!"

"Old Longbai, do you have anything to say about this?"

"..."

Molan solemnly introduced the Star Spider and led the other insects into the dimensional world for a tour.

Hunt for food, set up a row of gilded pots, and hold a grand celebration banquet by the lake.

The trees asked questions and chatted noisily.

"..."

"Have you ever been to the Baiwei Spider, Molan Mantis, or Lizhu Galaxy?"

"Of course. And I went there in the Little Longbai."

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the bugs from the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce and being slaughtered?"

"Haha. It doesn't exist. As for all the source star systems, I stopped when they were 2 light years closer and took the small dragon cypress back to the Shanglu space. I jumped closer and entered the planet myself."

"Forehead……"

"Mantis, have you ever seen a human?"

"I have. The body shape is similar to the artist's. The human is much shorter and thinner, with fine hair on his head. It looks like he can't take a beating."

"Have you tried going up there?"

"try what?"

"Strength!"

"I told you. It doesn't look good. It's very fragile." "..."

Juniper and cedar each handed over two large mountain slabs of stone to Longbai, nearly 20,000 years, the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, and the private property accounts of Longbai and Molan.

Xiao Zuo Wang Shuangse Gan Ju also handed over a stack of stone tablets and reported: "My king, while you were away, a total of 127 God-given seeds in Xianglan Mountain successfully broke through and advanced to the planetary realm! I recorded the promotion time nodes in detail, as well as the time consumed in the breakthrough process."

"it is good--"

“Little Chamomile is doing great!”

Longbai praised it and gave it priority to read.

The six divine seeds bestowed by God have all evolved to the planetary realm.

Among the 56 ordinary life seeds bestowed by God of Longbai and Molan, 41 have successfully evolved into the planetary realm.

Of the 39 common wild God-given seeds brought from the mother planet, 22 successfully evolved into the planetary realm.

What is more special is that the White Rice God-given seed that carries the soul of the red fox has also reached the planetary level.

Then came the life seeds and divine seeds of other core warriors of Xianglan Mountain. Some of those with high comprehension successfully broke through.

The other ordinary God-given seeds had individual differences, and their progress was faster or slower, but it took about ten thousand to twenty thousand years for them to complete the breakthrough one after another.

It can be estimated that when the God-given seeds that came out of the mother star have broken through one after another, those wild God-given seeds that are cultivated after entering the universe and the starry sky will also begin to evolve towards the planetary realm shortly afterwards.

Gradually, everyone got through the start-up phase, and the God-given seeds began to produce considerable profits.

...

Long Bai looked through the accounts.

Sure enough, Long Bai and Mo Lan’s annual income from private insects exceeded the 500 million mark, reaching 530 million to 540 million per year!
"Let me see! Let me see!"

Seeing Longbai reviewing the accounts, Molan immediately squeezed over, rushing to look through and check the catalog, her eyes sparkling with ecstasy.

In the account book directory, Juniper and Cedar combined the income and expenditure accounts of the Aquamarine star system for the past ten thousand years, the past ten thousand years, and the past twenty thousand years.

A total of 83 God-given seeds were harvested.

2 soul-building trees!
It’s a pity that they are all female plants.

8 top-level God-given seeds, worth 440 billion original crystals.

Since the Blue Sea Planet is managed by the Ant King, the Queen Bee, and the Assistant King under Longbai, the insect population is limited, and the ability to cultivate and manage the land is limited. Everyone is concentrating all their efforts on planting soul-building trees. Therefore, the number of top-level God-given seeds is still relatively small.

Too little.

There are 25 double-excellent God-given seeds, which are not enough and are worth 750 billion.

There are 31 ordinary God-given seeds, worth 520 billion.

In addition, there are as many as 17 God-given seeds of herbs, herbaceous vines, weak shrubs, etc. that are not suitable for cultivation and become wild God-given seeds, with a value of 140 billion. They are all arranged according to the rules to be given to the newly born little warriors as life seeds.

Over 1850 years, the total profit is billion.

The rent is about 1000 billion.

Compensation and incentive expenses were approximately 220 billion.

Not counting the seeds of the Soul-Building Tree bestowed by God, the profit in 630 years was billion!
The number of wild God-given seeds of arborvitae and black orchid insects has reached 137 trees!
All along,
The main income of Longbai and Molan comes from the divine seeds bestowed by God.

As time goes by, the evolution level and number of ordinary God-given seeds increase, and the income rises. Correspondingly, the proportion of God-given income in the total income decreases.

At present, the income from ordinary God-given seeds is basically the same as that from divine products.

If the current model continues to develop, ordinary God-given seeds will inevitably become the largest source of income for Longbai and Molan.

...

Let’s look at the income of the Azure Star System to which the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce belongs.

Over a period of 81 years, a total of God-given seeds were harvested.

There are three seeds of the Soul-Building Tree given by God, but unfortunately they are all female.

There are as many as 22 top-level God-given seeds, with a value of about 1300 billion.

The total value of other double-excellent, general, and herbal God-given seeds is about 1250 billion.

Not counting the Soul-Building Tree,
The total revenue is as high as 2550 billion.

The Chamber of Commerce spends more.

For 1000 years, the source point rent is fixed at billion.

Fixed salaries, bonuses, expenses for training young soldiers, and other miscellaneous expenses totaled 1700 billion yuan.

Total expenditure is 2700 billion.

...

The number of wild God-given seeds owned by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has reached 154.

There are 1 male and 4 female soul-building trees, totaling 5 trees.

In 200 years, it generated nearly billion in revenue.

At present, the average annual revenue exceeds 200 million original crystals and is growing at a steady rate.

...

And most importantly, there is the Force Food Trade, a collaboration between Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Baiwei Chamber of Commerce.

At present, it is still centered on the Bauhinia star system and the Ironwood star system.

After 1900 years of development, the average annual dividend has reached 2000 million original crystals. With slow and steady growth, it is only a matter of time before it breaks through the million mark.

...

It has always been the income from the Force Food Trade that has supported the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce’s business activities in the Azure Star System.

Long Bai and Mo Lan also used private insect funds to make up for the deficit in the Chamber of Commerce's account, filling it with nearly 600 billion, mainly for the training of combat insects and technological insect talents.

Fortunately, this situation is slowly changing as the number of wild God-given seeds increases and their evolutionary level improves.

...

The Boshuwan merchants indirectly controlled by Longbai have a large business scale.

The three high-quality zero-level source points, the Xuanling 16600 star system, the Xuanling 4800 star system, and the Xuanling 800 star system, have a total income of trillion in years, after deducting the land rent of billion, the rewards and miscellaneous expenses are billion.

Net profit of 11000 trillion.

The scale is large and the profits are high, but there are more bugs involved.

If divided equally among each ant king and queen bee, each would only get about 10 billion.

An ant king or queen bee, with at least three assistant kings, commanding an ant colony or bee colony of at least five million people, earns 10 billion yuan in 5 years of work, an average of 1 yuan per year. If we calculate it evenly, the ant king, queen bee, and the assistant kings earn more than yuan per year.

This income is not low, but it is not very high either.

10 billion original crystals can buy 6 source gems, which is considered two sets, and can be used to strengthen and upgrade two wild God-given seeds and break through the half-star realm.

Everyone was waiting for the two bosses, Sishu and Xia Li, to come over to settle the bill.

By obtaining the original crystal and purchasing source gems, some ant kings and queen bees can complete the enhancement and upgrade of the life seed given by God, and can consider the growth and evolution of themselves and their assistant kings.

The source gems that Long Bai had previously lent out could also be taken back 10,000 to 20,000 years in advance.

...

There is another document.

That is the price fluctuations of the original energy metal materials needed to build the Molan survival mothership in the eight star system trading market that have been continuously explored, collected, and statistically sorted out by insects such as lupins, grass dragons, flying insects, flying thorns, junipers, and white mulberry for 20,000 years.

In addition, they made many contacts and got to know a large number of major forces operating mining stars. After consultation and negotiation, they summarized a catalog of various types of raw metal output and reference quotations.

Overall, the 'friend' introduced by the leader of the Wart-Koujia tribe, Tiebin, was relatively honest, and the price he quoted was slightly lower than the bulk trading market of the Eight Star Systems.

Complete categories and sufficient output.

Of course, the prerequisite is to solve the transportation problem by yourself.

After comprehensive analysis and field investigation, Cao Long and Yu Dou suggested that the base for building the mothership be built in the Tiannanxing star system in the Xiange star field.

The special first-level source star system, which is remotely located and half is a mining star and half is a life planet, can reduce freight costs to the greatest extent and save a lot of expenses.

Yudou raised his paw and asked, "Longbai Ant King, when do you plan to start building the survival mothership?"

"ASAP!"

"But it's not that urgent. This can't be rushed."

Long Bai said: "I need to go to the Lingguo star system in person to visit the Wartock tribe. Then I will ask Chief Tiebin for help and introduce him to the major mine owners."

"I am not suitable as a bug. Wait for Sishu and President Xia Li to come over, and bring two Saint Butterfly Warriors with us to increase our momentum. Let these big families operating mining stars see our strength first. Then we will have the confidence for subsequent trade negotiations."

"President Bai Wei, Yu Dou, Du Dou, Bai Shi, Cao Long and Fei Yang, you all come with us when the time comes."

"it is good!"

"understood."

All the insects agreed.

Longbai asked, "Juniper, Cedar, let's calculate the time. It's time to repay the debt. Didn't President Ang Tianlian come to find us?"

Cedar shook his antennae, "No~"

Juniper: "Longcypress Ant King, there are still 220 years to go, right?"

——Two hundred years is not a long time~
——Shouldn’t we be more proactive when it comes to debt collection?

The insects were confused.

Yin Bai suddenly had an idea and said sadly, "Could he have died in some accident?"

Upon hearing this, Juniper said excitedly, "Then, the hundreds of billions of crystals you owe don't have to pay back?"

"Stop daydreaming, you two!"

Molan waved her tentacles and whipped Juniper and Silver Cypress hard on the heads with two lashes.

Long Bai said: "Captain Ang Tianlian should trust us and believe that we have the ability to repay, so there is no rush. Is it still a punctual insect? We will see when the time comes. We can't stop working here, we have to start as soon as possible."

...

During the 15,000-year journey, both the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce had accumulated various matters that needed to be handled personally by Chief Longbai and President Baiwei.

The celebratory banquet lasted for five days and five nights before ending abruptly.

Each of them started to get busy.
Bai Wei and Hong Tao rushed to check out the Yutao star system they operated.

Yudou, Caolong, Dudou, Feiyang and Feipeng built a simple Star Spider repair base in Huangtao Mountain. The two-claw equipment they found were of various types and functions.

Ghost Fan, Nebula Cypress, and Poison Bean quickly changed the paint scheme of the "Little Dragon Cypress" to a low-key yet luxurious one.

The most important thing is the Star Spider forehead logo, which has been painted over and replaced with the Vanilla Grass logo of the Vanilla Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce and Shuhua Chamber of Commerce logos.

The Star Spider, which travels at 1200 times the speed of light, has many uses. Baiwei Chamber of Commerce can borrow it when needed.

Long Bai personally supervised the work and saw to it that it was properly handled.

Molan drove the Star Spider to the Azure Star System for inspection.

Long Bai drove the Taber, carrying Ghost Fan, Nebula Bai, Luo and Green Stone, to the Aquamarine star system to check the situation.
