Natural God's Gift
#86 - Reluctance
The Torch Mountain Lord flattened and solidified the entire bottom of the valley, and also created three canals at the bottom of the reservoir to connect to the water inlet.
This was specifically for dredging. When the water level in the reservoir was low, as long as there was water flowing down from the upstream stream, it could clear all the accumulated silt, thus ensuring the lifespan of the reservoir as much as possible.
At the same time, the Green Earth Mountain Lord also constructed an earthen dam hundreds of meters long, forty meters high, with a base width of over ten meters, and a top width of three meters at the eastern pass.
Then, the Torch Mountain Lord used his earth and stone solidification ability to solidify the dam body together with the mountains on both sides into an indestructible whole.
Subsequently, the Torch Mountain Lord successively opened five circular holes of varying heights, each one meter in size, in the dam body.
These holes were conical, with a size of two meters on the reservoir side and one meter on the outside wall of the reservoir. Lord of the Still Winds created five huge, shaped wooden plugs to plug the holes.
In the future, when water needed to be released, the wooden plugs could be pulled out or crushed. The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord also suggested inviting a Zerg warrior with metal abilities to forge five iron chains to connect the wooden plugs, so that the iron chains could be pulled to remove the plugs when releasing water.
When the reservoir was completed, the silkworm moth clan, big and small, stood on the dam, curiously watching the stream flow to the bottom of the reservoir, and then gradually gather. From time to time, fish swimming from upstream would flop around in the water.
"There are fish," the little warriors were very excited when they saw the fish in the reservoir, and some insects even wanted to go down and catch them.
"No one is allowed to go down," the mountain lords of the silkworm moth clan sternly reprimanded.
The spiders of the Violet Cloud Merchant Guild didn't care about these things. They wanted to settle accounts with the Lord of the Still Winds.
"Lord of the Still Winds, we have prepared two hundred units of fertile soil, at fifty primal stones per unit, totaling ten thousand primal stones.
The reservoir has also been completed. It is estimated that the No. 1 reservoir on the west side can hold ten million cubic meters of water, and the No. 2 reservoir can hold a maximum of sixty million cubic meters of water.
According to the agreement, we charge one primal stone for every ten thousand cubic meters of water, so we should charge seven thousand primal stones for the reservoir.
In total, we need to be paid seventeen thousand primal stones."
The Lord of the Still Winds painfully pulled out seventeen silkworm silk scrolls with a face value of one thousand from the silkworm silk bag and gave them to the Violet Cloud Mountain Lord: "Chief Violet Cloud, you have earned a lot of primal stones in our tribe!
How many primal stones worth of spider silk scrolls do you have now?"
The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord happily accepted the silkworm silk scrolls and estimated: "Not counting the scattered primal force food transactions, there are twenty thousand primal stones worth of God-given silkworm silk scrolls, and forty-two thousand primal stones worth of ordinary silkworm silk scrolls including these seventeen thousand.
A total of about sixty-two thousand."
"So much, are you going to exchange it all for primal force food? Actually, the silkworm silk scrolls can also be used for exchange next year." Having to spend more than sixty thousand primal stones worth of goods at once, the Lord of the Still Winds really felt the pain.
If they agreed to settle the account next year, their tribe could save a lot of resources.
The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord decisively said: "That won't work. I still have many customers waiting for me to trade primal force food with.
I also want to buy more spider silk scrolls with the spider silk scrolls. Spider silk scrolls are more widely circulated on the continent, and they can be used anywhere. Lord of the Still Winds, would you like to consider it?"
Don't look at the fact that they earned sixty-two thousand primal stones in one go this time, the cost of primal force food alone is thirty-seven to thirty-eight thousand primal stones.
After deducting the cost of making fertile soil and the cost of building the reservoir, they only earned about twenty thousand primal stones on this trip.
After the three mountain lords split it, there wasn't much left, and building reservoirs wasn't a good job that came around every year.
When the Lord of the Still Winds heard the words of the Violet Cloud Mountain Lord, he quickly shook his antennae: "We have many young warriors in Mulberry Ridge, and we need a lot of resources. Our tribe doesn't have many resources left, and we don't have any extra to exchange."
The Torch Mountain Lord hurriedly added: "We also support lending services, giving you the most favorable prices for lending primal force food, charging only 10% interest per year."
"No need, no need." Primal force food worth sixty-two thousand, borrowing for a year would cost more than six thousand primal stones in interest. He wasn't crazy. Taking out so much interest could cultivate several more young warriors.
The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord said with a slight regret: "Then we should be leaving soon. Let's go settle the account for the primal force food!"
"Settle the account, settle the account." The Lord of the Still Winds couldn't outsmart these spiders, and now he just wanted to send them away quickly.
Mulberry Ridge has no less than ten God-given seeds, the most precious of which are two Lord-level God-given mulberry trees. The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord knew that they had one black mulberry and one red mulberry.
The effect of the black mulberry fruit is the lipidization of life force, with excellent quality.
The effect of the red mulberry fruit is the enhancement of fire-based heat, with mediocre quality.
The mulberry trees produce a lot, but unfortunately the mulberry seeds are too small, and the price can only be considered average among the God-given seeds.
What the Violet Cloud Mountain Lord wanted most was the black mulberry seeds. The quality was good, and it could be sold for at least 50% more per claw, and even if it wasn't sold, it would be very good to eat himself.
However, the silkworm moth clan itself had life force talent, and the black mulberry God-given seed was a perfect match for them. They would only sell them God-given seeds worth five thousand primal stones, and they wouldn't sell more no matter what.
In the end, the Violet Cloud Mountain Lord could only take another ten thousand primal stones worth of God-given red mulberry seeds, plus five thousand fruits of other God-given seeds.
As for ordinary primal force food, they took a lot. The originally somewhat empty carapace was piled full again, and it was even a little too much to pile up. They even had to exchange some God-given red mulberry seeds that were useless to the silkworm moth clan at a high price to fit them in.
The silkworm moth clan was also happy to see this. There were many insects in their tribe, and they needed a lot of primal force food. It was not good to trade out too much. After all, the number of God-given primal force food was limited. It was impossible for all insects to eat God-given primal force food. They couldn't eat it all, and they couldn't afford it. Ordinary Zerg warriors still had to rely on a large amount of primal force food to support their evolution.
It was best to exchange a batch of primal force food for God-given red mulberry seeds that were useless to them at a high price.
"It's time to prepare to set off," all the transactions were completed, and the unfinished projects would be continued next year.
At dusk, the spiders of the Violet Cloud Merchant Guild, each with their carapace carrying full of goods, waited for the order to depart in high spirits, and the little spiders also stood on the heads of several mountain lords.
The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord sent out a mental message: "Have all the members of the merchant guild arrived? If everyone has arrived, let's set off."
Four Leaf raised his claw: "Reporting to the Violet Cloud Mountain Lord, Little Angelica hasn't arrived yet."
The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord frowned slightly: "Didn't you tell him that we are leaving today?"
Four Leaf: "Violet Cloud Mountain Lord, please wait a moment, I will urge him."
Four Leaf raised his Sea God Horn and blew it.
"Woo--" A weak but vast mental message spread in all directions. The mental message echoed in the mountains and forests, and could be heard even from a great distance.
The silkworm moth warriors watching them leave curiously watched this scene. They didn't expect that a little warrior could display such a vast mental message. Was it related to the strange thing in his claw?
Before the silkworm moth warriors could carefully look at the magical conch in Four Leaf's claw, a burst of cicada chirps came from the distance, and a cicada flew out of the bushes.
Angelica urgently rushed over and landed on Peony's carapace: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Angelica untied the spider silk bag under his belly and handed it to the Green Earth Mountain Lord: "Green Earth Mountain Lord, this is the primal force food exchanged."
The Green Earth Mountain Lord took the primal force food and looked at it, praising: "Little Angelica is really a diligent cicada."
The reason why Angelica was so late to join was not because he wanted to reminisce with his former friends, but because he was still selling primal force food in the last bit of time.
He knew that he was not a spider, and he had to work hard to earn primal stones to support himself after leaving the silkworm moth clan. Now that the merchant guild gave him this opportunity, he had to seize it.
Many of the silkworm moth warriors who came here were saying goodbye to Angelica. They said reluctantly: "Little Angelica, remember to come back and see us when you grow up."
"Got it, Ma, Dandelion, and everyone, goodbye!"
Angelica was also very reluctant to leave his friends in Mulberry Ridge, but he knew that he did not belong to Mulberry Ridge. He could not grow up here. Even if he was reluctant, he had to leave for the sake of survival.
"Let's go!" The Violet Cloud Mountain Lord shouted, and the merchant guild immediately took action.
Taking advantage of the dusk, the merchant guild left Mulberry Ridge with their bags. As the sky darkened, they gradually disappeared from sight in the eyes of the silkworm moth warriors.
