Natural God's Gift

Si Ye and Dang Gui packed the Force food and raw stones. Bai Zhi was still guarding the house while they and the baby whale went to the Star Sand Islands.

Late autumn was much better than summer. It wasn't as hot. Bei Chi didn't need leaves to cover it from the sun, and the life seed didn't need watering as frequently. Bai Zhi's workload was much smaller.

As the weather turned cooler, Si Ye's lawn of clover gradually withered. It carefully collected all of its seeds, and next spring, it would scatter them all over the hills.

Regarding the trade, the insects discussed it with each other. Now that they had become a small group, the Force food they traded for would no longer be divided based on who contributed more or fewer raw stones. Anyway, the difference wasn't that great. After deducting two hundred raw stones, the remaining amount would be divided equally.

As for finding the God-given Seed, that was a long-term battle, and they didn't know how long it would take.

Moreover, if they could really find a God-given Seed, it wasn't possible that Bai Zhi, who was guarding the house, wouldn't get a share.

For insects like them who had life seeds and territories, when venturing outside, they really needed a trusted insect to guard the house.

The insect guarding the house had to take care of all the other insects' life seeds and territories. It was a logistics insect, an indispensable existence, and its importance was actually very high.

Si Ye didn't know what would happen in the future, but the temporary agreement was that if Si Ye and Dang Gui found a God-given Seed outside, then no matter what plant it was, no matter who nurtured it into a life seed, Si Ye, Bai Zhi, Dang Gui, and the baby whale would equally divide the God-given Force food produced by the God-given Seed.

Of course, if a God-given Seed was produced in their respective territories, it would naturally belong to them.

However, the baby whale lived in the sea, and Dang Gui didn't have a territory. Only Si Ye and Bai Zhi had a small piece of territory. The probability of a God-given Seed appearing was not high at the moment. When they became Mountain Lords, they could apply to the kingdom to demarcate a mountain for themselves.

When the time came, depending on the situation, they might even be able to apply for an island for Dang Gui to cultivate trees. Anyway, there were few insects and plenty of land on the continent now, and there were many insect-free zones.

In the ocean, the baby whale happily wagged its tail and sped forward. It cheerfully said to Si Ye and the others standing on its back, "Si Ye, Dang Gui, my mother gave me a very nice name. I'm not a baby anymore. Please call me by my new name from now on."

It had pestered the Dragon Beard Lord for a long time before it came up with a nice name for it.

Si Ye gave it a lot of face and replied, "Is that so? What's the name?"

Baby whale: "Yun Shi. My mother named me Yun Shi."

"Yun Shi?" Dang Gui asked in surprise, "Do you have a Caesalpinia sappan tree God-given Seed?"

"No, my mother hopes that I won't be bound by water and that I'll be as free as a cloud, so she gave me this name."

"Sounds good," Si Ye commented.

The baby whale said triumphantly, "I think so too. From now on, I'll be called Yun Shi."

"Okay, Yun Shi, accelerate! Let's hurry to Star Sand Islands to trade and come back early."

"Charge!" Yun Shi wagged its giant tail, and its speed increased a bit.

Yun Shi grew very fast. After a summer, it grew more than half a meter taller, and its swimming speed was even faster.

This time, with a clear goal, it took less than three days to directly reach the place where the Black Tea planting life seed was located.

As soon as they arrived at Black Tea's island, Dang Gui immediately flew into the island to find Black Tea: "Black Tea, Black Tea, are you on the island? We're here."

"Dang Gui," Si Ye said helplessly, "We haven't brought down the raw stones and Force food yet."

Dang Gui said plausibly, "Five hundred raw stones and so much Force food, we can't carry them. Let Black Tea carry them."

Si Ye: "Then we should take the goods off Yun Shi's back first, right?"

"Oh," Dang Gui muttered, "I wanted Black Tea to move them itself."

Dang Gui reluctantly flew back to help Si Ye move the raw stones. A small spider silk bag could hold thirty raw stones, and they used nearly twenty spider silk bags to hold five hundred raw stones.

It wasn't that they didn't want to use large spider silk bags, but they were too small, and they couldn't carry them if they were filled with large spider silk bags.

In comparison, the Force food worth five hundred raw stones was lighter. They used two spider silk bags to hold them, and they were even lighter.

The two insects ran back and forth between Yun Shi's back and the island, running five or six times before moving all the Force food and raw stones to the island.

After moving everything, Dang Gui couldn't wait to fly into the forest to find Black Tea and tell it the good news that they had brought back the raw stones and Force food.

Si Ye carried the Force food and a bag of raw stones on its back and slowly followed Dang Gui into the forest.

"Dang Gui, Boss Si Ye, you're here?"

Black Tea noticed the movement at the edge of the island and flew out to check. It immediately saw Dang Gui flying in the air and Si Ye slowly walking towards the center of the island.

Si Ye said unhurriedly, "Black Tea, we brought you the raw stones. They're on the beach on the island.

Go get them."

"Okay," Black Tea was overjoyed to hear that the Force food and raw stones had arrived. It had been waiting for these things for a long time.

Black Tea flapped its four wings and took off, flying to the edge of the island even more eagerly than Dang Gui before.

It was just that the strength of the Ridge Warrior seemed to be inferior to even Dang Gui, and it only carried two bags of raw stones and flew to the center of the island.

Si Ye carried the Force food and raw stones to the entrance of the nest built by Black Tea, and then stopped moving the raw stones, just watching Dang Gui and Black Tea move the raw stones back and forth.

When Black Tea and the others moved all the raw stones to the side of the nest, Si Ye opened the spider silk bags containing the raw stones: "Black Tea, there are five hundred raw stones here. Check them."

Black Tea looked back and forth in the many spider silk bags, carefully counting them, and said, "No problem."

Si Ye: "That's good. Black Tea, you should have evolved another age this year, right?"

Black Tea: "Yes, thanks to Boss Si Ye, I am now a mid-level warrior in the third age."

"That's good," Si Ye opened the spider silk bag containing the Force food and took out a chinquapin: "Chinquapin, a power-type Force food produced in the territory of a mid-level warrior, five raw stones per grain. I brought you three grains, is that okay?"

Although the Flame Spider Kingdom said that spiders can only have their life seeds produce Force food when they are high-level warriors, there are also many large tree life seeds that can produce Force food in the mid-level stage.

After all, if the Force in the Force food is too strong, small warriors can't digest it. It's too wasteful to not finish one, and eating too much will hurt the body. Mid-level Force food is just right.

"Power-type?" Black Tea happily flapped its wings: "I just lack this kind of Force food.

?"

"Well, if you have no objection, Black Tea, please note that three chinquapins are fifteen raw stones." Seeing that Black Tea had no objection, Si Ye took out another spider silk bag, picked out the three chinquapins, and put them in this spider silk bag for easy accounting.

Si Ye took out another large pine cone: "Masson pine cone, produced in the territory of intermediate warriors, its effect is to enhance eyesight. One fruit costs ten original stones, and there are two hundred pine nuts fixed on it. I brought two over."

That's twenty original stones." Hong Cha began to silently calculate the value of these original force foods.

"Durian seeds of the life system, produced in the territory of intermediate warriors, its effect is to strengthen the muscles of the whole body, twelve original stones per seed, a total of five seeds."

"There are also Water Cloud persimmon seeds that strengthen the carapace, also produced in the territory of intermediate warriors, eight original stones per seed."

"Schisandra to strengthen the blood..."

"Soul beans to enhance the soul..."

"Swirl wing fruit of the wind system—"

"Xuelan seeds of the water system—"

"Rubber seeds to increase wing toughness—"

Si Ye took out all kinds of original force foods, adding up to twenty or thirty kinds, all suitable for Hong Cha to eat, but most of the original force foods were produced in the territory of intermediate warriors, and a small amount was produced in the territory of advanced warriors.

Some of these original force foods are produced by the kingdom's original Flame Spider's own life seed, and some are brought back by Flame Spider merchants from outside transactions and stored in the treasure house.

It didn't bring God-given original force foods and original force foods above the mountain lord level. Hong Cha is even poorer than it, and can't afford such good things at all. These ordinary original force foods are the most suitable for it.

After Si Ye finished quoting all the original force foods, he put the spider silk bag on the ground: "This is an original force food package specially selected for you by the mountain lord level Flame Spider in our kingdom after hearing about our transaction and knowing your race. It should be able to guarantee your safe evolution to the first age."

"See if there's anything you don't want to eat? I can pick it out, and the price will be deducted then."

"A mountain lord level selected original force food package? I'm very satisfied." Hong Cha had only eaten a few kinds of original force foods before, and its body functions were very biased.

If it continues to eat like this, whether it can evolve after reaching the advanced warrior level will be a problem.

Now the original force foods that Si Ye brought are specially prepared for it, from soul to life, strength, from carapace, blood, internal organs, to eyesight, wings, all prepared for it.

This can ensure its overall improvement during evolution, without being biased towards one aspect. How could it be dissatisfied?

Si Ye: "Hong Cha, it's already late autumn, are the original force foods produced by your life seed ripe?

Have you finished eating them yet?"

Hong Cha: "I'm almost finished with corn and forsythia seeds, but you told me not to eat too many tea seeds, so I left a part."

Hearing Hong Cha say this, Si Ye and Dang Gui Xiao Song breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that they left the original force foods, so they can take some back for turnover.

"How much did you leave? Let me see."

Hong Cha didn't act coy, and directly dragged out the medium-sized spider silk bag that Si Ye had sold to it from the nest: "It's all here. Si Ye, your spider silk bags are very useful. I bought too few last time. Can you sell me a few more?"

Si Ye: "After going back last time, I asked my elders for some medium and large spider silk bags. How big do you want? How many do you want?"

Their Flame Spider merchants can't have too few spider silk bags on their backs, from small to medium, large, and extra-large.

Giant spider silk bags are all available.

Anyway, the spider silk bag can be folded into a ball, and doesn't take up space. They all carry them with them, rolled into a ball.

A small spider silk bag can fit everything inside.

Hong Cha: "How many original stones is a large spider silk bag? How big is it?"

Si Ye: "It's very cheap. A large spider silk bag only costs twenty-five original stones and has 0.5 cubic meters of space."

Hong Cha said: "Then give me five small spider silk bags, two medium spider silk bags, and one large spider silk bag."

"Okay," Si Ye readily took off the spider silk bags that Hong Cha needed from his back armor and handed them to it: "Small spider silk bags are three original stones each, five are fifteen original stones in total, two medium spider silk bags are twenty original stones in total,

A large spider silk bag is twenty-five original stones, sixty original stones in total!"

Hong Cha handed the spider silk bag containing its tea seeds to Si Ye: "Count how many original stones it's worth?"

"Wait a moment," Si Ye spread a large piece of spider silk cloth on the ground, poured all the tea seeds on the spider silk cloth, and then counted them one by one and put them into the spider silk bag.

Si Ye counted for a long time before finishing: "A total of five hundred tea seeds, right?"

It seems that Hong Cha had already prepared this amount to sell to it, otherwise, how could the number be so precise?

Hong Cha: "That's right."

Si Ye: "Five hundred original stones plus five hundred original force foods, plus sixty original stones for the spider silk bags, minus five hundred tea seeds, you still owe me five hundred and sixty original stones, is that okay?"

"Wait a moment." Hong Cha ran back to the nest and used a spider silk bag to pack sixty more tea seeds and handed them to it: "I owe you five hundred original stones, that's easier to calculate."

Si Ye: "Okay, you owe me five hundred original stones. If the God-given tea tree bears fruit next year, you'll return five hundred and fifty original stones worth of God-given tea seeds.

If you return ordinary original force foods, you'll have to return six hundred original stones. For every year it's delayed, the interest will increase by 10%."

"Got it." Originally, Hong Cha felt a little heartache about paying so much interest.

But seeing the original force food package that Si Ye brought, which can comprehensively improve physical fitness, also means that it can safely evolve to the first age, it feels that the price is quite worth it.

It didn't plan on it itself. If it keeps eating these original force food packages that balance its physique,

It can evolve two or three ages in a year. When the degree of evolution is high, it can quickly pay off its debts.

Si Ye: "Then the transaction is complete, do you have anything else? If not, I'll go back."

Hong Cha: "It's okay, aren't you going to rest for a while? Chat for a while?"

Si Ye shook his antennae: "Winter is coming soon, the Flame Spider merchants in my kingdom are about to return, I still have a lot to do, I have to go back first."

"Okay!" It's rare for a bug to come here, I didn't expect them to leave so soon. Hong Cha doesn't even have a bug to talk to.

But when its degree of evolution is higher, it can fly around the islands and find other insect warriors to accompany it. Thinking of this, it has some motivation again.

Si Ye rubbed his claws: "Then you put away the original stones and return the spider silk bag to me?"

"Uh—" Hong Cha thought there was something else, it turned out to be this.

It took out a medium-sized spider silk bag that it had just bought and poured all the original stones from the small spider silk bags into the medium-sized spider silk bag.

After emptying the spider silk bags, it returned all the small spider silk bags to Si Ye.

Si Ye smiled slyly and packed up the spider silk bags without any politeness, putting them into his back armor. A spider silk bag sells for three original stones.

Seventeen or eight spider silk bags cost fifty or sixty original stones. It's a small business, and it can't afford to give away such expensive things. "Then we'll go back first!"
