Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai waited left and right, but before he could see Angtianlian, Alocasia, and Gansui, he arrived at the Quandong Sacred Tree.

Depending on the situation, the Quandong Sacred Tree's dominance over the insects in Citi Mountain is still there, and the quality of the Quandong Sacred Tree will definitely be fine.

Wang Baizi is selling Citigroup Hill, and Long Bai is more assured.

and,

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce is indeed short of money.

Settlement will be settled once every thousand years.

During the last settlement, wages and rewards were not paid out.

and,

Since entering the starry sky, Dawangbai has spent most of its time not flowering or fruiting, which is really a waste.

Now it's good, Dawang Bai will always have work to do for tens of thousands of years to come.

…

…

[Time: 78th Era-158 Yuan-621 Years]

In the royal nest on the eleventh floor of the short-handled horn tree, the artist sitting on the throne slowly stood up and stood there blankly.

Far away in the North 7552 area, at the western end of the Citi Mountain territory and the mountain range, Long Bai, who was communicating with the Linnan Sacred Tree to discuss the wood-type abilities, suddenly stopped and stared south.

finally,

The Phytolacca space is over 800 meters long.

Phytolacca divine patterns transformed into ‘marks’.

Long Bai was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and continued to discuss with the Linnan Sacred Tree.

Until two years later,

On the ultimate beast's star core, there was another 'mark' of light yellow wood-type abilities condensed, before Long Bai said goodbye and left.

Flap your wings and fly back to Fanglan Mountain.

In the king's nest,

The artist shrank sharply, turned into iridescent water droplets, and disappeared into Long Bai's forehead.

"Duanjiao, let me tell you that I am about to break through evolution, please don't disturb me."

"Purple clover leaves and rainbow mulberry trees guard the entrance to the ant nest."

"Cyber, Spades, you go prepare some raw crystals in stock, just in case."

Long Bai gave a brief command, then landed on the throne of control, his tentacles twitching, and he immersed himself in sensing carefully.

Intellectual and brain abilities operate in sync.

Confirmed.

Long Bai cleared the space and started operating, controlling his consciousness and running his brain at overspeed, trying to fuse the Phytolacca divine pattern with the 'traces' in the crystal space.

The difficulty is not high,

The Phytolacca Divine Pattern itself has the tendency to swallow up the 'marks' in the crystal space, and it can be successful with a little manipulation.

Lasted for eight days and eight nights,

Fusion completed.

On the purple-red technological star core, the 'marks' in the crystal space disappeared, and the 'marks' in the Phytolacca space condensed into a dark green leaf-like pattern only a centimeter in length.

Phytolacca space turned into a sphere!

With a diameter of about 1,400 meters, it initially has the charm of world space and the symbol of ‘huan’.

Long Bai thought slightly and tried to meditate.

No problem, you can continue to improve through meditation.

He locked his eyes on the world gem stored in the royal nest and started thinking again.

The ultimate ferocious beast divine pattern on his forehead erupted with white light, projecting the world gems stacked in the corner of the nest.

The gem disappeared and was successfully stored in Phytolacca space.

Long Bai kept turning his head, the ultimate beast on his forehead flickered, and various objects placed in the king's nest disappeared one after another.

no problem.

Long Bai didn't do much testing. He opened 30 genetic agents in a row, swallowed three million god-given force foods in one breath, and ate an ordinary refining bead. He placed two more beads next to the throne cushion and lay down again. Sit down, calm your mind, and brew silently.

One day later,

The force of nature began to converge towards the eleventh floor of the Short-Handed Horn Tree, accelerating and intensifying.

Another half day later,

A Force vacuum appears and continues to grow.

After all, the secondary source point, the force vacuum range stops at a radius of about two hundred meters.

Xiangbai and Spades were worried and threw in the original crystal to press the force vacuum back to a radius of 100 meters.

It lasted for another two days and two nights, and the fluctuations in the Force subsided.

…

Long Bai stayed in the Half-Star Realm long enough and was fully prepared.

After two months of calm,

The second burst out, absorbing a massive amount of natural force.

It was quiet for another two months, and then it broke out for the third time...

On and off, after ten times, I calmed down completely and completed the breakthrough easily.

…

The eleventh-story royal nest of the short-stemmed horn tree.

Long Bai wakes up from his deep sleep.

The vague consciousness quickly awakens, and the super brain power operates automatically, scanning to calculate one's own situation.

Planetary realm!

Life span is 150,000 years, with remaining 120,000 years.

At the peak of the planetary realm of soul strength, the limit distance is 15 kilometers, and the limit sensing distance of the soul-fixing ability exceeds 3,000 kilometers.

The diameter of Phytolacca space has increased to 2,400 meters, and it has initially acquired the ability to contain the Force and contain Force life to survive in space for a long time.

Learn 14 new abilities independently...

Long Bai no longer cared much about his ability. As his mind turned, the ultimate beast on his forehead erupted with bright iridescent light and disappeared in a flash.

The ultimate beast changed from a highly condensed point to a circular spot with a diameter of five to six centimeters.

Long Bai opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowed the two crystal beads he had prepared in advance, and recovered his physical strength slightly. He then took out a gene agent, opened it, and swallowed it.

The majestic raw power enters the abdomen and melts, blends into the blood, flows to the forehead and is absorbed by the ultimate beast.

The ultimate beast absorbs the original energy, transforms it in a circle, feeds it back, blends into the blood, and then flows along the blood with its six limbs and hundreds of bones. Part of it is absorbed by the body and turned into the power to temper and transform the body, and part returns to the ultimate beast again...

Repeatedly,

In a minute or two, the original energy flows back and forth between the body and the star core for seven or eight times, and the energy contained in the god-given source food worth 100,000 original crystals is completely digested.

Long cypress feels refreshed.

Having evolved to the current level, he already has a bit of a "god" illusion, and can already control the celestial phenomena of a planet at will.

With a wave of wings, the wind howls and the clouds gather.

Swinging its tentacles, lightning roared, and there were sudden rains and blizzards.

Lifting his paw, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the rivers flowed backwards.

The difference is strength.

At the first stage of the planetary realm, the strength is not strong enough, and the raw energy that the body and star core can store is not enough.

Long Bai buried his head in thought for a long time, raised his head, shifted his consciousness, and communicated with the throne of control.

Not surprisingly, the number of ant eggs produced in a single time increased to 31.

It is still a batch of two days. This is already the limit and cannot be shortened.

Long Bai withdrew his mental power, got up and left the nest.

Xianglan Mountain gathered all the insects and held a grand banquet to celebrate.

…

He then called Yu Teng and piloted Poison Bean's first-class Star Spider named 'Poison Bean', far away from the Sheep Hoof star system for testing.

The star navigation capabilities given by the technological star core have been comprehensively improved. Taken together, the speed has doubled, exceeding 7 times the speed of light.

…

Time is running out,

Long Bai began to use God-given force food quickly and in large quantities, and evolved steadily every 20 years.

The strength is rising step by step.

In one go, 180 years later, he successfully evolved into the 9th stage of the planetary realm.

Pause and repair for 100 years,

[Time: 78th Era-158 Yuan-905]

Long Bai is sleeping and evolving again.

…

Wake up from deep sleep.

After a brief period of weakness and confusion, I regained my strength.

Super brain power operates automatically.

Stellar realm!

The body is nearly immortal, blessed by the cast soul, and has a lifespan of more than 600,000 years. The remaining lifespan is about 600,000 years, which is too far away to be accurately estimated.

Soul strength is around the 4th age of the star realm, and the limit distance is 37 kilometers. The limit sensing distance of reconnaissance abilities such as fixed soul and sea soul exceeds 7,000 kilometers.

The diameter of Phytolacca space has increased to 4800 meters, and the gray-white space crystal wall can completely block the Force and form a boundary of its own. World space, the formed ‘huan’.

Due to the rush of the planetary realm stage, I only learned 10 new abilities, one for each of the ten series of talents...

After Long Bai reflected on himself, the ultimate beast mark on his forehead shone slightly.

The ultimate beast turned into a large round spot with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters, like a rainbow sun.

Simply eat to recover and take out two genetic agents to try.

Another burst of realization,

At the star level, the original energy stored in the body and star core is as vast as the sea, and it has the meaning of "star" that is "endless and inexhaustible".

Long Bai converged his consciousness, deflected the communication and ruled the throne, and increased the number of ant eggs produced to 34.

According to the rules, the 7-year-old star realm should have 36 stars, one batch every two days, with an average daily output of 18 stars, and 6570 stars per year.

According to calculations based on intelligence and brain power, the development cycle of specialized ants in the Star Realm from egg to adult is extended to 15 to 18 years. During the development process, a large amount of force is required. If it is a zero-level source point, the force is insufficient and the cultivation period will be extended.

…

Simply confirm, get up and leave the nest.

As usual, all the insects in Xianglan Mountain are summoned to celebrate with a banquet.

Then I found Yuto,

Driving the 'Poisonous Bean' star spider, go to the deep space test far away from the Sheep's Hoof star system...

…

…

[Time: 78th Era - 158 Yuan - 922 Years]

Brilliant colorful light shines, Mo Lan rides the glorious throne, shuttles through the space, and appears directly above the short-handled horn tree.

Hula~

Thousands of crystal beads shrank, sinking into the forehead and eventually Mo Lan disappeared.

Mo Lan's figure flashed and appeared directly on the eleventh floor of the royal nest.

In the king's nest, metal tubes of genetic agents and metal cans of royal honey were scattered randomly, and Long Bai was focusing on digesting the original power.

"Chief Longbai!"

"Leader Molan!"

"Wow!"

"Is it in the stellar realm?"

Mo Lan circled Long Bai, looked around, and asked with some concern: "The evolution is so rapid, won't it leave any hidden dangers?"

"My star core is strong enough and there are no hidden dangers."

Long Bai said: "I just want to spend more time and energy in the Star Realm."

What you lack in the planetary realm, you have to spend five times the time and energy to make up for it in the stellar realm.

but,

It's definitely worth it to see the possible benefits compared to the Red Triton Star.

"The lifespan of the stellar realm is long. I plan to stay stuck in the seventh stage of the stellar realm and learn from old bugs like Gansui and Alocasia. I will be stuck for hundreds of thousands of years and then consider a breakthrough."

Seeing that Mo Lan was worried, Long Bai added briefly, and then said: "I will set off as soon as possible and return as soon as possible. Mo Lan, now that our scale has grown and the number of soldiers under our command has increased, management is a problem. You stay, Guard Xianglan Mountain."

"Hei Hua has traveled far away. At the Bo Shuwan Chamber of Commerce, you should also be careful. You don't have to direct the work, just keep an eye on it. In case, there is a dispute between the stewards and the kings under the command of the different queen ants and queen bees. If conflicts arise, adjust them in a timely manner to prevent them from escalating into violent conflicts.”

"clear--"

Mo Lan agreed.

Go to the treasure planet to dig for treasures and make a fortune. Such a happy thing, you can't live without yourself.

Not very willingly.

Mo Lan's main focus was still on Long Bai's promotion to the star realm, and asked:

"Long Bai, how is your purple technological star core and its star navigation capability at the stellar level?"

"15 times the speed of light!"

"Where's Phytoland Space?"

"With a diameter of 4,800 meters, it has completely evolved into an independent space."

"That's equivalent to a second-level starship loaded with 'Huan'! It can break away from the star network and conduct short- and medium-range interstellar voyages."

"That's right!"

Mo Lan's tentacles swayed from side to side, eager to try, and said: "Let me see your Phytolacca space!"

Long Bai thought for a while, tapped his tentacles, and unleashed a bit of original energy, first sealing Mo Lan's Phytolacca space. Then, iridescent water droplets on his forehead floated out from the round star core, rapidly expanded and enlarged, and turned into a half-ant artist.

A hatch opened in the abdomen.

Mo Lan understood what Long Bai meant and jumped out of the way and entered the cabin.

Long Bai followed closely behind.

The hatch squirmed shut.

The half-ant-shaped artist spans space and teleports 37,000 meters into the air.

Continuously crossing space, within a few breaths, he left the living planet and entered space.

Flashing continuously, far away from the star system.

The purple-red technology star core always reserves space energy.

The universal compass is activated, using the stars of the Sheep's Hoof star system as anchor points, sailing in the opposite direction and jumping through space.

The hatch opens.

Mo Lan and Long Bai drifted out.

Looking around, I was already in the deep dark space of the universe in an instant.

"Long Bai, where is the Sheep's Hoof star system?"

Mo Lan asked.

"there!"

Long Bai waved his tentacles to guide the direction.

Looking around, he saw a bright spot of light in the endless darkness.

Mo Lan also activated his universal compass ability to sense, and there were indeed familiar gravitational fluctuations of stars.

"How far?"

Mo Lan asked.

"About 0.8 light-years."

"oh--"

Mo Lan was envious.

This is the Purple Red Technology Star Core.

At the same evolutionary level, your ordinary star core has only half the effect.

"Where's Phytoland Space?"

Mo Lan asked.

Long Bai didn't say much. With a thought, the half-ant artist turned around, opened his vertical pupils on his forehead, locked onto Long Bai and Mo Lan, and cast a beam of white light over them.

Space ripples.

In an instant, Long Bai and Mo Lan were floating in a spherical space.

The gray-white crystalline space wall exudes a weak gray-white halo.

The whole space was gray and gloomy.

Thin air.

Weak force.

It was empty, with only a few scattered masses of matter floating around: technological star cores, world gems, gene agents, queen honey, and a dozen white or blue beads for replenishing physical energy.

Mo Lan felt envious again and asked, "Ant, is there air leakage in your space? Why is the air so thin?"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "I often travel across planets in the star system. There is too much matter in space, so it is inconvenient to ride on a Star Spider. A slightly more sensitive Original Spider warrior can detect abnormal consumption of Original Energy."

"Hmm. Oh. Yes."

Mo Lan asked: "When are you leaving?"

Long Bai: "Seventh age of the Star Realm. Eight hundred years later? I still have time, so I can give you some advice."

"Heh~heh~"

Mo Lan asked again: "Where is the strength of the star realm? Show it to you?"

Long Bai thought for a moment, then two groups of white lights flashed, taking Mo Lan out of the world space and suspended above the half-ant artist.

The half-ant artist suddenly shrank and turned into a ball of water, expanded, exploded, re-condensed and shaped, and turned into a giant cloud ant.

On Long Bai, water, fire, wind, and thunder can continue to explode.

The giant ant expanded rapidly and quickly turned into a super giant-headed ant with a wingspan of twenty to thirty kilometers across the area.

The clouds and mist rolled.

Thunder light flows.

The giant ant flapped its wings, and in an instant, thousands of five-color lightning burst out, lighting up the dark sky.

The giant ant opened its mouth, a thousand meters in diameter, and spit out a pillar of magma-like fire, directly hitting a hundred kilometers away, burning with intense heat, and the space was turbulent.

The giant ant flapped its wings, turned over, and turned into a transparent gaseous state. When it waved its wings again, it was transformed by countless airflows. It was undetectable, and an unstoppable aura shot out and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

The giant ants turned over and shrank, turning into clouds and mist. The cold air was thick, and the snow-white mist rose and filled the air. They turned into countless tiny gaseous flying ants, lingering and circling.

The giant ant has a little tentacle.

The flying ants transformed by the mist rushed out.

"Chief Mo Lan, how are you?"

"..."

"That's it?"

Mo Lan commented objectively: "It's so weak~"

"……That is."

"Of course it can't be compared to our second king."

With Long Bai's thought, the giant ant shrank sharply, transformed, and transformed into a half-ant artist again. It began to transform the original energy of space and accumulate strength for the space jump.

Long Bai and Mo Lan returned to the belly cabin.

"Second King, how many God-given seeds have you harvested in the past six hundred years?"

"Two."

"Only two? Then you..."

Just as Long Bai was about to attack, Mo Lan raised his claws to stop him and suppress him.

Mo Lan put on a serious tone and said: "Lin Hai, who is in charge of Nebula Cranberry, has produced another purple kiwi god-given seed. This is the second top-level God-given seed cultivated by Nebula Cranberry."

Purple fruit kiwi fruit God-given seeds?

Long Bai said happily: "Qing Ma and Hong Ma must be very happy, right?"

"It's not like they cultivated it. What can they be happy about?"

Mo Lan said: "There is a little problem. Nebula Cranberry has four subordinates, working with two million worker bees. How to calculate the rewarded Chamber of Commerce contribution points? Will they all be counted on Nebula Cranberry? Then it can be promoted directly It’s a level 11 core member, but what about its subordinate Prince Zuo?”

Long Bai: "All the ant kings and queen bees who join our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as a team, and the ant kings and queen bees are the captains in charge. The rewards and contribution points are all distributed to the captains, and then the captains decide and distribute them down."

Molan: "Then the ant kings and queen bees must have counted all the Chamber of Commerce contribution points to themselves and quickly upgraded their positions in the Chamber of Commerce. Isn't that unfair to other Zerg warriors?"

In the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the biggest benefit of position upgrades is that the 11th-level core members can use Wang Baizi.

Under the current system, the queen bees and ant kings do have too much advantage.

Assisting the king to protect the queen bees and ant kings can easily meet the conditions.

Long Bai has considered this problem long ago.

I have thought of a way, and there is a way.

However,

In the cosmic environment, the probability of the birth of ant kings and queen bees is extremely low. At present, including the nebula bilberry, there are only two queen bees and two ant kings born in the azure star system.

The small number is not a big problem, and there is no need to formulate new rules for ant kings and queen bees.

Longbai waved his antennae indifferently and said, "We'll consider it when there are more king ants and queen bees in the future. My idea is to rent a second zero-level source point in the future, which will be operated exclusively by king ants and queen bees.

At that time, we will add restrictions to them. For example, the position level difference between the king ant queen bee and the assistant king under them cannot exceed 3 levels. If the king ant queen bee wants to be promoted to level 11, the assistant king under them must reach level 8. In this way, we can limit the promotion of the position level of the king ant and queen bee chamber of commerce, and prevent them from adding assistant kings at random."

"Hmm--"

Molan moved his antennae seriously and said, "That's what I mean..."

Molan looked up suddenly , asked: "Rent a second zero-level source point? When can the bonuses and wages owed be settled? It can't be delayed for too long, right? The bugs below are going to rebel!"

"I know. I sold Wangbaizi to Citi Mountain and received a sum of original crystals. I'll take it out for emergency."

Longbai asked: "Only two God-given seeds were harvested in this cycle? One is a purple kiwi fruit, what about the other one?"

Molan: "The mulberry tree mutated from the soul-building tree has become an ordinary life system with its original energy properties. It is numbered Soul-building Tree No. 42, female seed..."

…

…

It took 21 days for the half-ant artist to complete the energy storage and jump back to the Bauhinia star system.

At the same time, Juniper also organized the new little warriors to handle the affairs of the new chamber of commerce.

After a simple banquet to celebrate,

Longbai summoned Juniper, Cedar, Spade, and Black Sophora to settle accounts together.

The second ten thousand year period of the Azure Star System is about to end.

Calculate the total account.

A total of 39 God-given seeds were harvested.

Compared with the last ten thousand years, the quantity has not increased much, but overall, the quality has reached a higher level.

8 top-level God-given seeds, including black lotus seeds, are worth about 50 billion.

It is equivalent to directly collecting the rent of the source point.

12 double-excellent and high-quality God-given seeds are worth about 42 billion.

12 ordinary God-given seeds are worth about 18 billion.

There are also 7 herbs, herbaceous vines, and weak shrubs God-given seeds worth less than 600 million, worth about 4 billion. Excellent young warriors were selected and arranged for use.

The total income is 114 billion original crystals.

…

Chamber of Commerce expenses:

The source point is rented, costing 50 billion.

Formal members and temporary hired members, basic wages, bonuses, life seeds rooting land rental expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses, a total of up to 62 billion.

Operating the Azure Star System, the expenditure is as high as 112 billion original crystals.

…

The income and expenditure are so high that it is scary.

However, after calculating the income and expenditure, it turned out that only 2 billion was earned.

I was a bit unlucky.

…

The good news is that the wild God-given seeds cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce have gradually made considerable profits.

The wild God-given seeds cultivated in the last ten thousand years have successively broken through and promoted to the half-star realm.

Among them, the Soul-building Tree God-given seeds have the highest income, exceeding 35,000 original crystals/year; followed by the God-given seeds of the Clear Veins and Wings Fragrance, with an income of up to 15,000 original crystals/year, the top of the top God-given seeds...

Currently, the number of wild God-given seeds belonging to the public assets of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is 55, with an annual income of 160,000.

After surviving the next ten thousand years and the next ten thousand years, things will gradually get better.

It is definitely too early to make a profit, and now it depends on the trade of royal honey and gene agents.

…

In cooperation with the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, the royal honey and gene agent trade has an average annual dividend income of 10 million to 11 million. The trade volume is large and the fluctuation is also large.

This income, if formal members of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce share dividends according to their shares, Longbai and Molan can get about 450,000 to 500,000.

…

Longbai and Molan's 40 wild God-given seeds all broke through the evolutionary half-star realm, with an annual income of 320,000 original crystals.

Not counting the Great King Bai,

Longbai and Molan's territory income reached 3.12 million original crystals.

In total,

Longbai and Molan's annual income is as high as 3.6 million.

Wang Baizi sold Citi Mountain, and the annual income of the Great King Bai was 6 million. If the income of the Great King Bai is included, it will be sky-high.

…

Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is unable to turn over funds.

A part of Longbai and Molan's income is used for the evolution and growth of themselves and their assistant kings, and a part is lent to the Chamber of Commerce for emergency.

In the next ten thousand years, the 50 billion required for the renewal of the lease of the Azure Star System has been collected.

…

Closing the accounts.

Long Cypress continues to live deep in the short-stemmed horn tree's royal nest, ingesting God-given force food at a rate of 3.6 million per year.

Each stage of evolution in the stellar realm requires up to 360 million god-given force foods.

Cypress evolves steadily at a rate of one age per century.

PS: I went back and read yesterday’s chapter. The unreasonable thing is that the number of Wang Baizi sold to Citi Mountain is too large, and Long Bai did not take the initiative in bargaining. It has been revised and changed to temporarily only sell to the big leaders and leaders of Citi Mountain. .

As for Wang Baizi’s pricing, it is already very high.

The concept of cosmic time is different. Multiplying it by 100 times can almost compare with reality.

For example, the salary Longbai pays to the young warriors is 1,000 raw crystals per year, multiplied by one hundred times, which corresponds to our annual salary of 100,000. The salary Longbai pays to his workers is considered a high salary.

The top-tier god-given seeds earn an annual income of 10,000 to 15,000, which is equivalent to an annual income of one million.

The divine grade god-given seed is at the level of tens of millions.

The annual income of the magic product of the law is measured in hundreds of millions.

From bottom to top, maintain a tenfold increase rule.

Dawangbai's annual salary is 600 million, which is a bit low compared to its rarity. But if it were written into billions or tens of billions, the economy would collapse.

When King Cypress evolved to the Half-Star Realm, there was an opportunity for adjustment, which was to extend the flowering and fruiting cycle and increase the unit price to several billion each. This would make the item appear more expensive, but I didn't pay attention at the time, and now it's too late to make changes. (End of chapter)
