Astral Cockroach

Every advanced warrior could carry between 100 to 200 kilograms of wreckage per trip.

It was hard work traversing the continent, and both Banbu and the Red Shell Roach King were not stingy. For each trip, they would give out 2 to 3 kilograms of wreckage that had lost its original force properties as a reward.

The warriors involved in the transportation were almost replaced every year, and some aging warriors would give the wreckage to their direct juniors. Therefore, divine-grade wreckage had spread widely in the lineage of the Red Shell Roach King of the Red Roach tribe.

In addition, the warehouse capacity of Lizhu Peak was really limited, and the amount of wreckage transported back was really too much.

Therefore, the wreckage transported back would be screened and divided into two categories: one category was valuable wreckage that retained its original force properties, sealed in metal boxes, and stored in the warehouse; the other category was wreckage that had lost its original force properties, which was not so precious and in large quantities. Selling it would easily cause trouble, so Lizhu Peak used it themselves. If they couldn't use it all, it would be used as welfare, distributed to the warriors of the Jinping, Jinping, and Tiedao mountain ranges, allowing them to strengthen their lifeblood.

Banbu and the Red Shell Roach King had long expected that even with strict warnings, they would definitely not be able to prevent the wreckage from flowing out.

However, the problem was not very big. So far, the Purple Stem Beetle was the first tribe to come to buy it.

"Lord Banbu, your Lizhu Peak should have a batch of divine-grade wreckage stockpiled, right?"

"There is… some."

Lord Caozhu had no intention of bargaining and said directly, "Our Purple Crystal County can pay for it with raw stones, or we can pay for a batch of Purple Crystal Grapes when the Purple Crystal God-given Seed is reborn in the future."

"But…" Banbu stammered, "The main thing is a divine-grade oak tree God-given Seed wreckage, which is a flame element ability enhancement. Unfortunately, a red oak tree God-given Seed, which is also a flame element, was born in our Lizhu County a few years ago."

"The plant species matches, and the element species matches. Lord Caozhu, you should know how important the wreckage is to Lizhu County."

The value of divine-grade wreckage varies greatly depending on where it is used.

For example, if it is distributed to ordinary warriors and used on ordinary lifeblood plants, after strengthening, the annual income may increase from the original 20 to 30 raw stones to 50 to 80 raw stones. The foundation of ordinary lifeblood is too poor, and the increase of dozens of raw stones will only slightly improve life.

For example, if divine-grade oak tree wreckage is used on a red oak tree God-given Seed with a corresponding element enhancement effect, the enhancement effect will be a qualitative improvement. The condensed acorns are second only to divine-grade original force food, and even have some divine-grade original force food characteristics. It can be said that the original annual income of 300,000 to 400,000 will skyrocket to an annual income of over one million.

When Lord Caozhu heard Banbu's words, her heart suddenly sank.

Banbu then said embarrassedly, "Lord Caozhu, you came at a bad time. There was a lot of wreckage, but we used up most of it when we distributed it to our subordinates."

Banbu then said annoyedly, "We just casually managed an oak forest. We didn't expect to accidentally give birth to a God-given Seed. Now, we don't even have enough for ourselves."

Divine-grade God-given Seeds are extremely rare. Lord Caozhu didn't understand where Banbu got the wreckage from, but she was sure it wasn't easy, and she could understand Banbu's feelings.

Lord Caozhu was depressed for a while, and asked laboriously, "Lord Banbu, how much is left? Can you part with some of it?"

"Not much." Banbu shook its antennae and said, "The wreckage can be roughly divided into two categories: wreckage that has lost its original force properties and wreckage that still has original force properties. The wreckage that has lost its original force properties was used up as soon as we transported it back."

What Lord Caozhu wanted was the kind of wreckage that had lost its original force properties. The samples sent by the caravan confirmed that it was feasible, and the price was relatively affordable. After hearing this, her thoughts were a little confused and she was thinking about it.

Banbu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Lord Caozhu, what is the specific enhancement effect of your divine-grade Purple Crystal God-given Seed?"

Lord Caozhu said, "It enhances flesh and blood, but not the best muscle strength… A very peculiar effect, which can greatly reduce the interval between molting and evolution."

Lord Caozhu had hope again and introduced, "It can be speculated that the enhancement effect of Purple Crystal Grapes has a high degree of compatibility with the talent abilities of roach warriors, and is very suitable for you."

Good stuff!

Banbu's heart was pounding: If there is this enhancement effect, Du Zhu, and Huo Zhu can speed up their growth and be promoted to Roach Kings sooner!

Banbu was even more aware of the essence of the Purple Crystal Grape enhancement effect: the comprehensive enhancement of cell metabolism.

This effect, when applied to ordinary warriors, directly manifests as shortening the interval after evolution, and indirectly, it should also have the effect of delaying the onset of aging. When applied to Banbu, who has the ability to regenerate severed limbs, the value will be doubled.

Severed limb regeneration is an upgraded version of the roach's talent ability, but it also has certain shortcomings. For example, if a leg is severed, the body cells will divide rapidly, consuming the nutrients and energy reserves in the body, and quickly generating a new limb in a short period of time.

There are two problems with the newly generated limb: first, rapid cell division is more likely to produce erroneous gene fragments, and some seriously erroneous cells will die in a short period of time; second, the metabolic function of the rapidly divided cells is not very perfect and must have a growth time.

Overall, the severed limb can be regenerated immediately, but there will be a decline in strength and intensity, and it will take some time to recover and improve. Moreover, as the strength increases, the number of original force genes increases, and the cell life activity becomes more complex, the required rest and recovery time will be prolonged.

The special enhancement effect of Purple Crystal Grapes can just solve the problem of recovery time, which is simply tailor-made for Banbu.

Moreover, this type of divine-grade original force food that enhances the basic physique can basically greatly increase the probability of gene evolution. Every additional type eaten is an additional safety guarantee for future promotion to Roach King.

Undoubtedly good stuff, the kind that must not be missed.

Lord Caozhu continued to suggest, "Lord Banbu, if you can part with a batch of wreckage to help the Purple Crystal God-given Seed through this disaster, we can regularly separate a portion of each batch of output in the future and exchange it with Lizhu Peak."

"Sacred Bamboo Bamboo Fruit, or other original force foods of similar level, are all acceptable."

Banbu did not directly agree and asked, "I also heard that your Purple Crystal County has been selling Purple Crystal Grapes to the Ant Step Beetle tribe and the Bumblebee tribe? What is the price?"

Lord Caozhu truthfully said, "When needed, we exchange for original force foods of equal value, but the Purple Stem Beetle tribe is, after all, a small tribe with a limited number of warriors and limited outstanding warriors. Therefore, we mostly sell them for raw stones."

"The selling price for raw stones is different for internal and external sales. The selling price to the Ant Beetle Kingdom is 3 million raw stones/portion; the Bumblebee Kingdom is 3.5 million raw stones/portion."

This price…

Banbu sells Giant Dragon Bamboo Fruit to the Black and White Flower Roach tribe. The enhancement effect is only in terms of strength, and the price is set at 5 million raw stones. Perhaps it is a bit high, but Roach King Qiufeng has never had any objections, so it has its rationality.

3 million and 3.5 million, the selling price must be low.

No wonder the two major kingdoms of Ant Beetle and Bumblebee went berserk after the Purple Crystal God-given Seed was severely damaged.

Banbu then asked, "What about the yield? I heard that grape yields are very high."

Lord Caozhu shook its antennae and said, "The yield is very average. The flowering and fruiting cycle is 7 years, and each batch only produces a little more than 6 portions."

"Really good! Very good! If such a God-given Seed were to be destroyed, it would simply be a blasphemy against the True God of Nature." Banbu said righteously, "Lizhu Peak does not have the wreckage you want for the time being, but I have a way to help you get a batch back from Chiwu Mountain."

"Chiwu Mountain…" Lord Caozhu asked in confusion.

Banbu said, "The wreckage was obtained through cooperation between Lizhu Peak and Chiwu Mountain."

Lord Caozhu asked, "Does Chiwu Mountain still have any?"

Banbu confirmed, "Yes!"

Lord Caozhu asked, "Is Chiwu Mountain willing to take it out?"

Banbu said, "The cooperation between Lizhu Peak and Chiwu Mountain is still very long-term. If there is an urgent need, they will not refuse."

Lord Caozhu was overjoyed and asked, "Is it still oak trees? It may not be compatible with our Purple Crystal God-given Seed, right? Also, what is the price? It's not low, is it?"

"The price… there is, but it is definitely within an acceptable range." Banbu changed the subject and said, "You said that each batch of output from the Purple Crystal God-given Seed, you will take out one portion to exchange with Lizhu Peak. That is an equal exchange, right?"

Lord Caozhu said, "Yes."

Banbu said, "Then for the wreckage, you will need to pay a corresponding price."

Lord Caozhu said, "Taking the medium-sized spider silk bags manufactured by the caravan for dividing raw stones as the standard, every 30 bags of wreckage can be exchanged for one portion of Purple Crystal Grapes."

Lord Caozhu was afraid that Banbu would not be satisfied and added, "This is the caravan's valuation of that kind of wreckage that has lost its original force properties, with each bag discounted at 100,000 raw stones. What I am giving you is the selling price to the Ant Beetle Kingdom."

"Sounds reasonable." Banbu nodded its antennae and asked, "Lord Caozhu, about how many bags do you need?"

Lord Caozhu said, "At least 500 bags, the more the better."

"Please wait a moment." Banbu shook its antennae and transmitted information via radio waves.
