Natural God's Gift
#171 - Force Food Harvesting
The Tiger Cane Mountain Lord immediately gave them the original stones, which made them extremely happy.
After receiving the original stones, Clover wasn't stingy either. It placed the original stones under the lucky grass and shouted, "Little ones, time to distribute the original stones!"
Eight hundred and ten original stones, although it sounds like a lot, it's not something Clover and One-Web can devour alone. Chinese Angelica, Bai Zhi, and even Artemisia argyi have contributed a lot, and some original stones must be distributed to them.
"Distributing original stones?" Upon hearing the distribution of original stones, the busy insects all gathered around.
Clover fiddled with the original stones in its claws, carefully calculating everyone's contributions. Chinese Angelica has been busy for so long, from sowing to harvesting, and has never stopped watering. Its contribution is significant.
"Chinese Angelica, you've been busy for so long and your contribution is the greatest. You can have two hundred and fifty original stones."
Clover used a silk pouch to pack two hundred and fifty original stones for Chinese Angelica.
"I have so many?" Chinese Angelica was overjoyed. It originally thought it was just a worker, and having a hundred or so original stones would be great. It didn't expect to have so many.
Clover encouraged: "Keep up the good work!"
Good-year is also its own symbiotic insect race, so it can't be too stingy. "Next is Bai Zhi, thank you for your hard work this year." Bai Zhi has also helped a lot this year, otherwise they would really be too busy. However, they also went to Bai Zhi's field to help, Clover gave eighty original stones as a token of appreciation.
Artemisia argyi contributed the least, but Good-year guarded the sunflower field for a month or two, and the bee colony was busy. Even if they didn't contribute much, they still worked hard, so they definitely had to be given some, it was just a matter of how much.
After thinking about it, Clover scooped out thirty original stones, put them in a silk pouch, and handed them to the Artemisia argyi bee queen: "Artemisia argyi, here, this is your share."
"I have one too?" Artemisia argyi was originally standing aside watching, but when it saw that it had one too, it was both surprised and delighted.
Clover smiled and said, "The sunflower harvest was bountiful, everyone contributed."
After giving three hundred and sixty original stones to the three insects, Clover still had four hundred and fifty original stones left. Although this number wasn't large, it was still very good.
Seeing that Clover could exchange sunflower seeds for original stones with the Tiger Cane Mountain Lord, Bai Zhi pondered.
It opened its mouth and said, "Clover, do you think I should also choose a top-tier plant to grow? That way, I can earn some original stones like you."
Clover: "Don't you like Angelica dahurica?"
Bai Zhi: "—."
"I discovered that I don't particularly like it either." It likes it, but liking it can't fill its stomach!
Seeing Clover using sunflower seeds to exchange for original stones with the Tiger Cane Mountain Lord, how much motivation is that?
"Decide for yourself." Clover couldn't make this decision for it, and the kingdom wouldn't endlessly accept seeds.
Otherwise, if the spider species in the kingdom had several hundred square kilometers of sunflowers and collected hundreds of thousands of original stones' worth of seeds, would the kingdom accept them?
If every spider did this, even the wealthiest kingdom would go bankrupt.
After distributing the original stones, everyone didn't stop. At this time of year, the fate-seed fruits were also almost ripe and could be picked. Clover asked, "Bai Zhi, are your fate-seed fruits ready to be picked?"
Bai Zhi: "Almost all of them are ripe."
"Then should I have Chinese Angelica go with you to pick them?"
"No need," Bai Zhi declined. "I only have five fate-seed bearing plants this year. Artemisia argyi can help me pick them."
Doesn't Chinese Angelica still have vitality fruits that haven't been picked? And your fate-seeds also need help picking, right?
"Alright," seeing Bai Zhi say this, Clover didn't say anything more.
"Chinese Angelica, go pick the fruits on your fate-seeds first."
Chinese Angelica flapped its cicada wings: "The fruits on my fate-seeds have been picked. Clover, I'll go help you pick yours."
"Okay!"
The sunflowers were planted near the chinquapin tree, just a few steps away.
Clover stood under the chinquapin tree, directing Chinese Angelica to pick the chinquapins. After the last typhoon, there were still two hundred and forty-six chestnut fruits on the chinquapin tree.
The number was a bit small, but each one grew very plump. Clover took good care of them.
Chinese Angelica hung silk pouches on its two hind legs, opened the mouth of the silk pouch, and used small metal scissors to cut off the chinquapin fruits, throwing them directly into the silk pouch.
The chinquapin fruits were quite large, mainly because there was a layer of thorny shell on the outside.
After Chinese Angelica filled a silk pouch, it took it to the tree and handed it to Clover.
Clover used its claws to open the outer shell of the chinquapin fruit and took out the chestnuts inside.
The output of fate-seeds is relatively fixed. Each large chestnut fruit contains three small chestnuts, and the size is very uniform. Since chinquapin is a power-based enhancement, the value is relatively high, and should be about the same as a mental-based enhancement. Within the kingdom, a mid-grade chinquapin should be equivalent to a mid-grade tea seed.
But one chestnut fruit has three chinquapins inside, and Clover easily made the chinquapin tree bear three hundred fruits, with a limit of several thousand. A tea tree can bear at most five or six hundred fruits, so the yield is very different. The chinquapin tree easily outclasses the tea tree.
Chinese Angelica picked all the chestnuts and carefully calculated the price: "246 fruits, a total of 738 chestnuts. Clover, is it one original stone per chestnut?"
"Yes, the kingdom has a uniform price."
"That's 738 original stones, the yield is so high!" You know, this is only the first year.
As the chinquapin tree grows larger and larger, the yield will only increase.
"It's okay," Clover said modestly. "Although the chinquapin tree has a high yield, it's still slightly inferior to several other top-tier plants in the kingdom.
Chinese Angelica, you wait, before you become a Mountain Lord-level warrior, I'll apply for a life-based durian plant for you."
"That's really thank you so much, Clover." Chinese Angelica chirped excitedly a few times.
Durian is a life-based vitality food, and the fruit is super large. It is also one of the top-tier plants in the Flame Spider Kingdom.
The two insects peeled all the chestnuts and put them in a medium-sized silk pouch. Clover dug a pit under the chinquapin tree and buried the chestnut shells in a pile underneath.
As the outer shell of vitality food, the chestnut shell also has a trace amount of vitality. Burying it back under the tree is truly returning the original soup to its source.
After finishing up, Clover scraped the mud off its front feet and said with satisfaction, "Okay, done. Let's go pick papayas."
3
Vitality foods like papayas, watermelons, and jackfruits can be weighed by the catty or the seeds inside can be peeled out and sold separately.
Papaya is a wood-based vitality food, and its effect is to enhance the affinity of wood-based abilities. Both Original Spiders and Cicadas have wood-based talent potential. Clover doesn't plan to sell them, but to keep them for itself, so naturally there's no need to calculate the price too much.
It originally kept ten papayas, but three were blown off by the typhoon, leaving seven.
Clover carefully calculated that there were only seven papayas, and it wouldn't sell for many original stones. It plans to give one to Chinese Angelica and one to Bai Zhi. As for Artemisia argyi, it doesn't have wood-based talent potential, so it won't give it one.
As for the remaining five, it will take two out to eat at the autumn harvest banquet. After all, it has eaten so many things from Accumulation Snow and the others, and received so many gifts, so it's not good to be stingy.
Moreover, it had said long ago that after its God-given seed bore fruit, it would share it. The lucky clover fruit was impossible to take out, but the morning glory fruit was still possible. When it took out two kinds of origin power food, Angelica and Bai Zhi would also take out some origin power food, which could be considered enough to support the scene.
Angelica plucked a papaya from the tree and asked, "Do you want to carry it or should I?"
The papaya was quite heavy. Seven large papayas were packed into the spider silk bag, and it seemed a little too heavy to carry.
"Let's leave it here and pick it up when we come back." The seven papayas together weighed twenty or thirty pounds, plus the chestnuts it was already carrying. Four-leaf couldn't carry so much, and Angelica still had to pick morning glory fruits, so it was impossible to carry them.
"Okay." Anyway, it was within the kingdom, and no insects dared to steal.
Angelica flew in the air, parallel to the four-leaf below: "Four-leaf, it's October now. Can we go to Hong Cha's place in a few days?"
"Probably."
Angelica muttered: "I wonder how many God-given origin power tea seeds Hong Cha will leave behind."
"The tea tree shouldn't produce much, and it's only a mid-level warrior. Don't expect too much."
Angelica asked curiously, "Four-leaf, how much origin power food are you planning to bring this year?"
Four-leaf considered for a moment and asked back, "How much origin stone value of origin power food did you harvest this year?"
Angelica had stayed in the Flame Spider Kingdom for two or three years, and it knew something about the price of origin power food.
'I have five life seeds that have produced this year. The total price should be one thousand origin stones.
The life seed plants it bred in Sang Ridge were not very advanced. After sowing, the output was mediocre.
It wasn't until it came to the Flame Spider Kingdom that it selected some high-quality plants, double high-quality plants, and top-level plants to breed as life seed plants.
Because of the age, most of these life seeds have not yet begun to produce origin power food, so Angelica's current output doesn't seem very high.
"Then you keep five hundred origin stones' worth of origin power food for yourself, and we and Bai Zhi will put together one thousand five hundred origin stones' worth of origin power food to send to Hong Cha."
Angelica asked, "Is one thousand five hundred origin stones enough? I don't know how many age cycles Hong Cha has evolved this year?"
Four-leaf had some guesses in mind about this: "Hong Cha doesn't have many resources to supply its evolution. Even with our assistance, it would be the most if it could evolve two or three age cycles from last year to this year."
After all, they had the entire kingdom as their backing, and they had only evolved three age cycles from last year to this year.
However, before going to the Star Sand Islands, they might be able to evolve one more age cycle.
In the midst of chatting, they also arrived at the tree of the Morning Glory God-given Seed.
Four-leaf took the lead in communicating with the Morning Glory God-given Seed: "Morning Glory, are your fruits ripe yet?"
The Morning Glory God-given Seed responded sullenly: "I don't know if they are ripe or not."
"Then are your fruits still absorbing the origin power from your vines?"
"They are not absorbing it anymore."
Four-leaf said: "Then they are ripe."
The Morning Glory God-given Seed questioned: "Then they were ripe a long time ago, why didn't you come to pick them?"
Four-leaf perfunctorily said: "Weren't we busy before? The fruits can't run away while growing on the tree."
"Don't you know that if they stay on the tree, they will keep absorbing my nutrients?"
"Okay, okay, we'll pick them now." Four-leaf was a little afraid of its nagging.
Angelica flew up the redwood tree to pick the morning glory fruits from the higher places, while Four-leaf picked them from the lower places. Not many morning glory fruits were left this year, and some were blown away by the typhoon. They quickly finished picking them.
Angelica held a morning glory fruit in its hand and flew in front of Four-leaf, slightly excited: "Four-leaf, how many origin stones is this God-given morning glory seed worth?"
It wasn't very good at assessing the value of God-given origin power food, mainly because it ate so little.
When cleaning up the unripe morning glory fruits before, Four-leaf had seen the seed situation inside the morning glory fruits. There were two seeds in one fruit.
It was difficult to assess the value when the fruit was not ripe, but now it can be seen.
Four-leaf twisted a morning glory seed to check it. The seed was not large, only two centimeters in diameter, and only half of that.
'It's too small,'" Usually, God-given seeds have two growth methods: one is that the volume remains unchanged, gathering origin power, and the other is that the volume increases, spreading origin power.
Ordinary morning glory seeds are only three or four millimeters in size, and God-given morning glory seeds reach two centimeters in size.
Naturally, it is the second reason, so relatively speaking, it is cheaper than other God-given origin power foods of the same volume, such as the fo-ren.
Moreover, its effect is still a relatively ordinary wood-based ability enhancement, so it is not very expensive.
"One morning glory seed should be worth four origin stones."
"So cheap?" Angelica was a little surprised. It thought that God-given origin power food would be very expensive.
"Yes," Four-leaf nodded: "Its origin power effect is too ordinary. If you sell it as a traveling merchant, you should be able to sell it for five origin stones per seed."
Angelica handed the spider silk bag containing the morning glory fruits to Four-leaf: "There are a total of one hundred and seventy-four fruits here, and each fruit has two seeds, worth more than one thousand four hundred origin stones."
Angelica envied: "God-given seeds are still good. Just any kind of fruit is worth so much.
Four-leaf, if your date palm and mangrove God-given seeds mature in the future, won't each harvest be worth tens of thousands of origin stones?"
"Probably," Four-leaf said noncommittally.
"We're rich, we're rich," Angelica flapped its cicada wings happily.
"Four-leaf, all the origin power food has been harvested. What should we do next?"
Four-leaf: "Keep one hundred and thirty-eight chinquapin chestnuts, and I'll take the remaining six hundred to the Tiger Staff Mountain Lord to exchange for origin stones.
I'll also take three hundred morning glory seeds to exchange for one thousand two hundred origin stones, and the rest will be left for the autumn harvest banquet."
"Then you'll have one thousand eight hundred origin stones."
"Yes," Speaking of this, Four-leaf was a little distressed: "But I also have many places to spend origin stones.
"I don't know how many origin stones will be needed for the serviceberry God-given seed."
Speaking of this, Angelica was also a little speechless. Although it used its ability on the serviceberry God-given seed, it didn't seem to have much effect. It only accelerated the growth of the grafted branches in the beginning, and then it seemed to become ordinary again.
Until now, the serviceberry God-given seed has not yet matured. Angelica bluntly said: "Do you want me to use my ability on the God-given seed again?"
"No need," Four-leaf frowned: "The serviceberry God-given seed only needed a little origin power to be harvested, and re-grafting it onto another tree will inevitably damage its foundation. In fact, the fact that it can survive,
was already beyond Lord Qingfeng and my expectations."
"Okay," Since Four-leaf said forget it, it was too lazy to get entangled. It urged: "Let's go, let's go, let's go to the Tiger Staff Mountain Lord to exchange for origin stones."
