Astral Cockroach

The Mud Bamboo God-given seeds planted last year produced bamboo fruit, with quality and size comparable to Emerald Bamboo, yielding the same net income of 29,200 Origin Stones.

The God-given seeds obtained by hybridizing Ghost Thread Bamboo-1 with Black Bamboo have just finished gestation. Planted this spring, they've flowered and withered by late summer, now bearing bamboo rice.

The aura is peculiar, and the enhancement effect is extremely rare, focusing on "perception." Banbu almost failed to recognize it.

Perception enhancement comes in many forms. The most common is elemental perception, such as the powerful perception of metal currently possessed by White Bamboo; another example is the perception of vegetation or earth and stone. There's also the natural sensitivity to Origin Power of Bamboo Rat warriors, and the natural sensitivity to biological auras of Oil Camellia... These are all common perceptual abilities.

There are also rarer types, such as soul perception, danger perception, and supernatural vein pattern perception...

Origin Power plants that enhance perception are extremely rare. Banbu had heard of them as a human warrior but never witnessed one firsthand. After being reborn on this planet, he only occasionally heard merchants mention them but never saw one.

What type of perception does this one enhance? It's difficult to determine for now.

However, judging from the aura, the quality should be slightly below high-grade, with a hint of metal enhancement effect.

The Tree Spirit is a silent gourd, almost autistic, disliking communication. Banbu specifically made time to chat with it, but didn't receive a single complete message in half a day.

The bamboo stalk is black, with dark gray vertical stripes, and the bamboo leaves are deep green and lush. Banbu named it "Shadow Bamboo."

...

Two years of treasure hunting have yielded extremely rich harvests. Deep within the ant nests are hidden 16 Origin Power crystals, and Banbu's cave has a stockpile of 100,000 ordinary Origin Stones.

Treasure hunting in the Misty Mountains will continue. Reizhufeng will only become richer and richer, overflowing with wealth.

The best thing about this planet is that as long as you have money, you can buy almost all kinds of Origin Power food and smoothly convert wealth into strength.

Banbu plans to give all members of Reizhufeng a major boost.

He calls a meeting to discuss allocation quotas.

...

Big Bear was the first to be promoted to Mountain Lord. Nearly a decade has passed, and he's only an L2 Mountain Lord. Banbu set a quota, purchasing food worth 50,000 Origin Stones for him each year to help him grow quickly.

...

Wind Chime is also a Mountain Lord, but her soul has suffered irreparable damage...

After Wind Chime was promoted to Mountain Lord, Banbu agreed with her that during L1-L3, he would purchase 10,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food from the merchants each year for her growth; during L4-L6, he would spend 20,000 Origin Stones each year; and during L7-L9, he would spend 30,000 Origin Stones each year.

Mountain Lords have a lifespan of 150 years. Steady growth, reaching L9 Mountain Lord before entering old age, is sufficient.

When nearing old age, they can take a gamble and try to advance to County Lord. If successful, they can live for another 400 years, a huge profit; if they fail, that's fate, and everyone accepts it.

...

Below the Mountain Lords in terms of strength within Reizhufeng is Red Rice.

Red Rice is diligent, naturally intelligent, and eager to learn. Now, he has mastered systematic genetic knowledge and breeding knowledge. Apart from occasionally being a sarcastic and poisonous-tongued bug, there's nothing else to criticize.

Banbu often intentionally favored Red Rice in resource allocation.

Red Rice is a hybrid of the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe and the Red Cockroach tribe. After being promoted to Advanced Warrior, he gradually showed signs of awakening Water Elemental abilities.

It's neither the plant abilities of the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe nor the fire abilities of the Red Cockroach tribe. The Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe branched out from the Iridescent Flower Cockroach tribe, which awakened Water Elemental abilities.

It's very peculiar. Banbu guesses this should be genetic reversion.

Red Rice is currently an L9 Advanced Warrior, just one step away from Mountain Lord.

Banbu decided to continue favoring him with resources, planning to purchase a set of accelerated growth packages worth 50,000 Origin Stones each year for him next year and the year after.

...

The two little ones, Du Zhu and Red Rice, are currently L5 and L7 Advanced Warriors, respectively. Banbu gives them each 15,000 Origin Stones worth of resources each year.

The two little ones, Fire Thorn and Dragon Bamboo, are still too young. Giving them too much would be overwhelming. Giving them 3,000 and 2,000 Origin Stones worth of resources each year is sufficient, gradually increasing it in the future depending on the situation.

...

Big Head and Cattail are the most important laborers in Reizhufeng.

Big Head is still an old member of Reizhufeng. He joined Reizhufeng when Banbu first arrived. Due to his poor racial talent, growth is difficult. Banbu has always paid attention to him and taken care of him, spending a lot of Origin Stones on him. He is currently an L8 Advanced Warrior and has already purchased a deluxe version of the accelerated growth package worth 150,000 Origin Stones from the merchants this spring.

Cattail also has such a growth package.

In the future, he will also spend 30,000 to 50,000 Origin Stones each year to purchase high-quality Origin Power food for them until they are promoted to Mountain Lord.

...

Finally, there are the seven Bamboo Rat warriors.

Unified wage increase, settled every 5 days. The Mountain Lord distributes Origin Power food worth 500 Origin Stones each time, and at the Advanced Warrior level, Origin Power food worth 150 Origin Stones each time. Good performance and meritorious service will also receive extra bonuses.

White Bamboo was transferred to the south to follow Big Bear, forming a combat squad.

Rat King leads the other five Bamboo Rat warriors, residing in the north, forming an exploration squad.

One south, one north, to avoid further disputes.

...

Finally, there's Oil Camellia, currently an L7 Advanced Warrior.

Banbu specifically brought back a box of Origin Power food with a comprehensive rating of D that enhances plant abilities last year, so he only purchased a batch of Origin Power food that enhances physique this year.

In the future, Banbu will purchase Origin Power food worth 20,000 Origin Stones for him each year, and Reizhufeng's own Emerald Bamboo bamboo fruit will always reserve a batch for him.

...

This kind of collective luxury spending will not continue forever.

When treasure hunting in the Misty Mountains and the harvested wealth is almost exhausted, it will be terminated.

Currently, Reizhufeng's annual income is far from enough to support such a large-scale splurge.

...

After the meeting, the other members dispersed, and Big Head stayed behind.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Two tests need to be done by Big Head: 1. Grind the Boundary Tree remains into powder and bury it under ordinary Life Seed plants (Sunset Fruit and White Jade Mulberry) for long-term observation and recording of the effects; 2. Grind the Boundary Tree remains into powder and bury it under God-given Seed plants (Fire Oil Camellia and Blood Thorn God-given Seed) for observation and recording.

There are not many remains brought back, so this is considered a preliminary test.

Banbu, combining the knowledge of the Human race and the Insect race in his memory, estimates that it will take about 1 year to start taking effect. Because it requires some maintenance, he also needs to bring Big Head along to direct it on-site and guide him on how to operate it specifically.

...

There is also a very important test: compatibility testing of the B231 plant genetic solution with wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed, as well as testing of usage methods and dosages.

The items are precious and the quantity is extremely limited, so there can't be even a tiny bit of waste.

Big Head ants use their mandibles and forelimbs to work, which is not flexible enough and not suitable for precise work.

The Bamboo Rat warriors have relatively flexible forepaws, so Banbu also called Rat King and the five Bamboo Rat warriors, including Ma Zhu, to come together.

A metal ball containing the B231 plant genetic solution. Banbu used his metal ability to laboriously open two round holes with a diameter of about 3 millimeters on it.

One is a vent hole, and the other is connected to a section of a metal spout.

Next to it is a metal bucket containing half a bucket of clear water.

At Banbu's request, Rat King slowly poured, carefully dripping 3 drops.

The black, thick liquid slowly spread and merged into the water, but the rich Origin Power began to overflow outwards.

Rat King quickly picked up a wooden stick to stir it, then picked up a ladle and poured it into the 5 dug pits.

Half a ladle for each pit, the half bucket of water was just used up.

Banbu has been concentrating, using his divine sense to track and observe.

Very smoothly, the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed roots quickly absorbed these special nutrients.

Continuously observing for a whole day, there were no adverse reactions. The aura exhibited by the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed has slightly improved, and Banbu determined that it was a manifestation of genetic improvement.

It can be determined that the B231 plant genetic solution is highly compatible with the wild God-given Seed!

Rat King and Big Head have also been following along to observe.

Big Head doesn't understand why.

Rat King keenly sensed the change and asked: "Banbu, can the things inside the metal ball strengthen the God-given Seed?"

"Yes." Without waiting for Rat King to continue asking, Banbu directly said: "Just like we use Origin Power food to grow, this thing can help the God-given Seed grow. Just like we need compatible types of Origin Power food, this thing also needs to be matched with corresponding types of Origin Power plants."

"The wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed just happens to be usable!"

Banbu pondered for a moment and instructed: "Rat King, continue tomorrow morning, still half a bucket of water, increase the dosage, use 5 drops."

"Big Head, you now direct the ant colony to irrigate some swamp water to supplement regular nutrients."

...

The wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed is now over 30 meters tall and the trunk is about 0.7 meters in diameter, which can be said to be initially scaled.

5 drops of genetic solution are easily absorbed.

Banbu gradually increased the dosage and tested it for several consecutive days, and finally determined that the maximum amount of Cliff Cypress God-given Seed that can be absorbed every day is about 20 drops.

The next step is relatively simple, appropriately reducing the measured limit dosage and irrigating it once every other day.

Genetic solution can improve the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed gene and accelerate growth, but it cannot be rushed.

There are a total of 80 metal balls containing B231 plant genetic solution. Banbu also plans to save a little and use them as fully as possible, preferably to help the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed complete two transformations and growth.
