Qi Le

Days of heavy rain can't dampen Qi Le's enthusiasm for making money.

When the road was blocked by heavy rain, it was more convenient for him to discuss in detail with the transaction partner.

Starting with Morpho, Cat Dad found new business opportunities and determined to become a charter company.

Under the urging of "Qian Jing", he successively reached contracts with barn owls, native crows, native deer, and native camels from afar, and rented houses to them at the price of five crystal nuclei per month.

Since the types of crystal nuclei are not limited, for the first batch of tenants, the rent is not high, it is completely the price of cabbage.

Take barn owls as an example. Their staple food is rodent animals. There are a large number of this type of animals, and their reproduction speed is quite fast.In areas with fewer predators, it was once inundated.

Aiming at this type of beast, Yasi and Alan cooperated in hunting, and they could make up two to three months' rent at a time.

Native deer like to eat mutated plants, so you don't need to worry too much, you can save a little when eating, and the rent is easy to get.

Not to mention native crows and native camels, they are not as good as the trenches in the ocean, and they can also be called big land households. On the day the contract is signed, they will pay half a year's crystal nucleus.

Holding the crystal nucleus in hand, Dad Cat couldn't help grinning.

The job of a charterer is really quick money!

However, renting out the house is not enough, building a market is the ultimate goal.

Daddy Cat waved his paws, encouraging tenants to open shops, expand sales in the market, and then bring the traded goods back to the territory to sell to other native species.

"In addition to potions and ores, seafood and terrestrial animals can also be traded." Father Cat continued to give examples to help everyone discover business opportunities.

"For example, the exotic beasts that live in the forest are rare in the desert. The exotic beasts captured in the grassland have a unique flavor to the marine native species, and many of them are willing to try."

"There are also freshwater mutated fish and mutated plants that can be used to make potions. They can all be traded, and the price will be quite good."

The cat father was eloquent, listing them one by one, and his mouth was dry.

The more people listened, the brighter their eyes became.It's not like opening the door to a new world, but it's not much worse.

After the conversation, the tenants began to choose the building that suits them.

Barn owls like to live in high places, hover over the forest for two weeks, and choose the steeple-shaped building on the east side of the underground bunker.The crow and the barn owl have similar preferences, and the store is also located on the east side, and they are neighbors with the Yas Brothers.

Native deer walked around the complex and settled on a flat-roofed house near the edge.

First, they like to be "down to earth" and are not too cold about high-rise buildings; second, their huge stature and antlers determine that they need more room for movement.The flat-roofed building has a spacious interior, and it is no problem to run a few steps in it, and it is fully movable.

Native camels don’t have too many requirements. They wandered back and forth in the air corridor a few times. The selected house is located in the center of the complex, closest to the underground bunker.

The first batch of tenants settled in, shops opened one after another, and more native species found business opportunities, so Qi Le didn't need to sell them outside, and they took the initiative to come to the door.

As the rainy season draws to a close, most of the buildings are rented out, shops are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and the market planned by Cat Dad has begun to take shape.

In Qi Le's territory, native species from different regions gathered together, the closest ones were the eleventh and twelfth districts, and the slightly further ones were the ninth, tenth and eighth districts.

A little further away, populations from the sixth and seventh districts entered the market one after another, saw a dazzling array of goods, and spent less than half a day on the crystal nuclei they brought, carried them on their shoulders, and returned with a full load.

Watching the three native giraffes leave, Qi Le didn't say a word for a while.

It's not that he has never seen a giraffe, but that the shapes of these people are too special. Animal skin bags of different colors are hung on their long necks, and they are wrapped around a circle. Looking from a distance, they look like they are wrapped in a scarf.

In addition, there are still many on the back.When walking, the hoof prints are deepened by half an inch.

As far as the quantity of cargo is concerned, the black spider will be willing to beat him.

During the transaction, groups that had no connection before gradually became familiar with each other, often exchanging information and gossiping with each other.

Under such circumstances, Morpho, who likes to gossip, and Mole, who can always grasp the latest news, are like ducks in water, and soon became the "star merchants" in the market.

Nowadays, when walking in the middle of the building, you can often see morpho butterflies gossiping with moles; native deer and barn owls bargaining over a few different plants; Before the store, when you see a product you like, you just shake your wings and "sprinkle money".

Compared with the hustle and bustle in other buildings, the area where native ants live is particularly deserted, and it can be called a natural "forbidden place". Except for Li Hua and his son and Tai Sui, few species dare to approach at will.

This does not prevent the ant colony from joining the trade.

First came the army ants, then the fire ants and black ants, and finally even the spear ants brought the newly captured animals to the market to exchange potions.

What the spear ant caught was a mutated python, which was over 30 meters from head to tail, and at the thickest section, the two of them could barely hug each other.

The mutated python is covered with black scales, with fine red lines winding along its sides.The top of the head protrudes like a cockscomb, and there are two rows of bone spurs from the back of the head to the neck.The bony spurs are connected by a thin film, with a red pattern on it, which looks very dangerous and more deterrent.

This deterrence can scare off some predators, but it is completely ineffective against ant colonies.On the contrary, it increased the chances of the mutant python being discovered, and was eventually surrounded and captured.

Qi Le took a closer look and found that the crown on the mutant python's head was very hard, like a transparent crystal.It was filled with pale golden liquid, which flowed slowly, enveloping three pearl-like round particles.

"That's the crystal nucleus of the mutant python."

Patunia flew to Qi Le's side and couldn't help being amazed when he saw the mutated python.

Hearing that the spear ant had brought a mutated python, she handed over the shop to Fine, intending to see what happened.Facts have proved that it really came to the right!

"This is a mutated black python. They are very powerful and extremely poisonous. Even their scales are full of toxins. If they are bitten unfortunately, and they cannot find the antidote herbs, they will die soon."

"That's true." Yas landed on the other side of Qi Le, stepped on the grass barefoot, with his wings tucked behind his shoulders, his right hand was caught by the waist buckle, and his left hand was holding a bulging animal skin bag.

"Their crystal nuclei and flesh and blood contain very strong energy, especially the crystal nuclei. The effect is not as good as the pink crystal nuclei, but it is two or three points close. As far as I know, in the eleventh and twelve districts, there used to be For a while, they were the main prey for native species."

"The main hunting target?" Qi Le looked up in surprise.

"Including the herbivorous population, they will hunt this mutant python. But they only need the crystal nucleus, and the rest of the flesh and blood will be thrown away, which is a waste." Patunia added.

"Indeed." Qi Le nodded.

Such a large python weighs in tons.

Several tons of meat are just thrown away in vain, what else can it be if it is not wasted?

"Their scales are good medicine materials." Yasi looked at the mutant python and began to consider in his heart that the medicine in his hand could be exchanged for snake skin.

After several months of research, the Raptor can not only prepare antidotes, but also prepare several primary medicines, which should meet the requirements of spear ants.

Patunia is more interested in the meat of the mutated python.

In this rainy season, there are many newborn chicks in the group. The python meat tastes good and can provide energy better than ordinary animals, so it is just for them to try it out.

As the leader of the group, all aspects must be considered.With such a good opportunity, it is natural not to miss it.

"Because there are too many natural enemies, mutant pythons have become good at hiding, and they have moved out of District [-] and District [-] on a large scale." Yass opened the animal skin bag and counted the medicines inside, "Nowadays, it is not easy to catch one. Easy, especially when it's this big."

After saying that, the barn owl flapped its wings and stepped forward, handing out the animal skin bag to the spear ant, expressing that it wanted to buy python skin.

"Not all of it, just a piece of it." Yas said, "The scales should be relatively complete."

The section near the tail was only covered with black scales, although it was equally effective, but what Yas wanted most was the red scales on the flanks of the mutated python.Those scales are the most toxic and are most suitable for research and preparation of potions.

Switching to other species, the barn owl will inevitably put forward conditions.

But native ants... it's better to be more polite.

One is that mutant pythons are hard to catch, and it’s not easy to catch one. If you can buy it, you can make money; These bigwigs are unhappy.

The soldier ants checked the potion and nodded to Yas, indicating that the business can be done.

The worker ants moved quickly, jumped onto the back of the mutated python, swayed their antennae, and slid their claws across the scales, obviously asking which section Yas wanted.

"Can I choose?" Barn Owl asked tentatively, "Any paragraph is fine?"

Of course it is!

The worker ants tapped their upper jaws, resentful of the barn owl's suspicion.

They are a principled ant colony, and they pay attention to mutual benefit and win-win in business!The price given by the barn owl is not low, and of course they don't mind giving each other more benefits.

Even when doing business, the native ants cherish words like gold, and if they can't speak, they don't speak, and communicating with foreigners occasionally seems a bit strenuous.It's not that they don't know how to be flexible, it can only be said that the habits are deeply ingrained and it is really difficult to change.

"This section." Yass thought for a moment, and pointed to a section of the mutant python's back neck.

The spear ant marked out an area with its front legs and looked at Yas.

Yas nodded.

Almost at the same time, the sound of silk tearing sounded.

The sharp pliers plunged down, cutting through the hard scales of the mutated python, and cutting through the tough python skin.In the blink of an eye, the python skin chosen by Yas was cut off.The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, crisp and neat.

Handing the python skin to the barn owl, the worker ants jumped onto the grass and wiped off the toxin-stained forelegs.Keeping these toxins will contaminate food if you are not careful, and must be cleaned up as soon as possible.

When worker ants are rubbing their legs on the grass, soldier ants take their place, biting snow-white python meat, meaning "Do you want meat?"

Yas shook his head.

Buying the python skin has consumed most of the potions on his body.

It is not easy to configure the medicine. Although the python meat is good, it is not his main goal after all, and it is not worth spending all the stock.

Understanding Yasi's meaning, the spear ant nodded, cut up the exposed python meat, selected the best ones for the queen ant, and distributed the rest to the tribe members who participated in the hunt.

They can earn a lot just by selling crystal nuclei and python skins.As for python meat, sell it if you can, and eat it yourself if no one buys it.

The barn owl put away the python skin and walked to the native deer shop.

He wants to buy materials for making antidotes and potions.

The current finished product only has primary effects, but Yas believes that if he continues to work hard, one day he will be able to configure intermediate or even high-level potions.As Qi Le said, buyers become sellers and sell their products to the universe.

The army ants and black ants finished hunting, and the large army returned from the forest. When they saw the mutated python caught by the spear ants, they all shook their antennae in surprise.

They have been in the eleventh district for so long, why didn't they find this kind of prey?

Seeing their reactions, the spear ant raised its head proudly.

This is strength!

Stimulated by the spear ants, the army ants and the black ants shook their tentacles, making up their minds that they must find a bigger mutated python to suppress each other's arrogance!

As a result, the blue star gangsters were vindictive, and the mutant pythons collectively suffered.

But fighting spirit is fighting spirit, the native ants behave very regularly, and they are not going to catch the mutant pythons to extinction.

One after another, the mutated pythons were dragged out of their hiding places, thinking their lives were over.

The native ants didn't kill them, but measured the prey's length and girth, and felt that it didn't meet the standard. They shook their tentacles, gathered up the mutated python, and stuffed it back whole.

The mutated python curled up in the hole, mustered up the courage to poke its head out, and looked at the distant ant colony. For a long time, it couldn't figure out what these big guys were planning to do.

Are you bored to catch snakes?

Qi Le inquired about Patunia, and learned that the taste of the mutant python is quite good.I decided to buy a section from the spear ant and give the kitten a taste of it.

Thinking of the kitten, the cat father couldn't help but want to sigh again.

The kitten made up his mind to delineate the territory in the eighth district.Father Cat has conducted field investigations. The land is close to the sea and not far from the cave where the lynx lives. Whether it is to find playmates in the sea or contact the little lynx, it is quite convenient.

Tai Sui has asked the mole to help dig a tunnel in the kitten's territory.It seems that he is determined to stay with the kitten.

The kitten is determined to be independent, and the cat's father can't pour cold water on the child's enthusiasm.But every time I think about the kitten growing up and leaving home, I can't help but feel lost.

He can't stop, can't he be depressed for a while?

Frustration is nothing but frustration. In order to make the kitten live safely, the cat's father specially greeted Ethan the turtle, hoping that the other party would take care of it when he was free.

"Don't worry." Ethan promised happily, "I will go ashore as often as possible and go to the border of the forest for a walk. If anyone dares to bully your child, I will make him look good."

While speaking, the turtle stretched its neck, raised its forelegs, and tapped Qi Le's shoulder with the tip.

The corners of Father Cat's eyes twitched slightly.

After knowing each other for so long, I realized that Ethan is also a "social turtle".

If you think about it carefully, how can you occupy such a large resource-rich sea area without being social?

Obviously not possible.

After the turtle Ethan, the cat father visited Daria again and told the lynx sister that his son was going to move to the eighth district, not far from her, please take care of him.

Dalia is not surprised that the kitten will choose the eighth district.

"After the males of the original cat species become independent, most of them will voluntarily leave their parents' territory."

In Dalia's group, females gather to care for their young, with adult males rarely participating or even making an appearance.Some sub-adults will help their mothers take care of their younger siblings. When they grow up, they will become like their fathers and embark on the path of "scumbags".

It is extremely rare for Ash to want to live with Ah Yuan.

In the eyes of Sister Lynx, it is only natural for the kitten to leave when it grows up.It would be strange if he stayed in Qi Le's territory all the time.

"It's not just the native species of cats, many species have similar habits."

"When the female cubs grow up, most of them stay with their mother. The males have to leave when they grow up, and if they don't leave, it is likely to cause conflict."

"Some strange beasts will even kill males who refuse to leave. Even if they have tried their best, they have finally raised their cubs."

Dalia's words are cruel and realistic.

Qi Le didn't think he was such a parent, he even expected his son to live near him.But the kitten strictly abides by the rules and is too sensible, determined to leave the eleventh district.

The only thing the cat father can comfort himself is that there is still some time before the kitten leaves home, and the father and son do not need to separate immediately.Even if they are separated, there is a market, and the kittens will come back from time to time.

In order to meet the children more, the cat father encouraged the kitten to open a shop in the market.

"Shop?" The kitten looked at Qi Le, puzzled at first, but soon pricked up its ears, and its big eyes sparkled.

"Three Tigers and the others can't log in for the time being, you can sell seafood instead of them." The cat's father originally had a temporary idea, and as he talked, he felt more and more that this was a good idea, just right for the kitten.

"You can do business in partnership, and the profits earned will be divided proportionally."

Marine native species can land on land, but the stay time is limited.Leaving sea water for a long time will not threaten life, but discomfort is certain.

The kitten makes good friends with the young killer whales and dolphins, and also has a good relationship with the young sea lions and seals. Recently, there have been a group of baby sea snakes.

These are his resources.

As long as you are willing and willing to work hard for it, the shops opened by the cubs may not be unable to occupy a place in the market.

The kitten followed Qi Le, and his horizons became more and more broadened.The cat dad just put forward a general idea, and all the details are perfected by him and his friends.Being busy with the business of the store, the kitten would often disappear and would not come back until late in the evening.

As a rehearsal for the future life, the cat dad adjusted his mentality and gradually began to get used to it.

Qi Le has a certain friendship with Spear Ant, and he bought python meat at a very favorable price.

The snow-white snake meat was almost transparent, and Qi Le's eyes lit up when he cut a piece from the edge and put it in his mouth.

The meat was tender and melted in the mouth, and the taste couldn't be better. It was completely different from the kind he had eaten before.Not long after, the familiar heat began to rise, and soon spread to all limbs, feeling very comfortable.

"nice one!"

Looking at the python meat, Qi Le couldn't help but cut off another piece, and then another piece.

In less than a moment, he had dug out a fist-sized piece of python meat.Looking at the remaining python meat, Dad Cat licked his paws, jumped off the metal platform, and walked towards the spear ant again.

This is a rare opportunity, good things are delivered to you, you must not miss it, you must buy as much as you can!

If possible, Qi Le even wanted to buy all the remaining mutant pythons.

Come to think of it, he couldn't really do that.If he dares to swallow the python meat alone, the eyes of other native species can roast him, turning him into a barbecued raccoon dog covered in black smoke.

Towards evening, the entire mutant python was cut up.

The python skin was mainly bought by the raptors, and one fifth of the python meat went to Wu Yazi, Qi Le and the native species in the market, and the rest was digested by the ant colony.

Some of the original species moved too slowly, and they didn't even get a bone, and their intestines were green with regret.

The crystal nucleus of the mutated python was left behind by the spear ant queen, and it is temporarily unknown what it intends to do.But Qi Le listened to the gossip from Morpho Butterfly and Mole, saying that the Spear Ant Queen likes shiny things very much, and the crystal nuclei are likely to be used to decorate the house.

Hearing this at first, the cat dad felt that it was impossible.

The original ant queen, domineering and powerful, the big boss among the big bosses, how could it be like Morpho Butterfly said.

Reality gave him a fatal blow.

Invited by the spear ants, he walked into the building where the ants temporarily lived. Seeing the situation in front of him, the cat dad was too shocked to speak.

The previously empty room is now full of crystal nuclei, colorful and dazzling.The spear ant queen lay on the crystal nucleus, condescending and majestic.

Father Cat raised his ears and opened his mouth wide.

The appearance of native ants, the personality of giant dragons, what kind of evolution is this?

The reason for the meeting between Spear Ant and Qi Le is very simple, they also hope to open a shop in the market.

"I will leave a part of the tribe to be responsible for communication." The spear ant queen said, "In addition, I plan to buy a few aircraft to facilitate the movement of the tribe and the delivery of goods."

"I have better suggestions."

Spear Ant decided to open a shop in the market, and Qi Le couldn't wait for it.Knowing that the other party was worried about contacting, he opened the space button on the spot and took out two communicators.

When resisting foreign pirates, Qi Le once lent the communicator to the ant colony.

These two are gifts, half a crystal nucleus is not accepted.

"Using a communicator, communication is more convenient. Regarding the delivery of goods, I think the spaceship is better than the flying machine."

"spaceship?"

"Yes." Qi Le said with a smile, "You must have seen the two ships used by the squirrels. Those captured in the previous wars can be repaired soon and put into use one after another. If you are interested, you might as well keep a few more God, take a look at the repaired spaceship."

"If you are not satisfied, you can buy another aircraft."

The spear ant queen thought about it and decided to follow Qi Le's suggestion.

As the sky darkened, Qi Le walked out of the spear ant's residence.

Looking around, the market was brightly lit.

Luminous vines, mostly transplanted by native deer and squirrels, hang from the air corridors.

Various colored lights rise in front of the building, covered with transparent glass, and inside are various luminous ores and crystal nuclei.If alien merchants and pirates walk in here, 100% will startle the eyeballs.

Priceless crystal nuclei, rare mutated plants, are actually used as light sources?

It's just a waste of money!

No matter how surprised, the reality is that crystal nuclei that can be sold at sky-high prices in the alliance, as far as the blue star population is concerned, as long as they are not cherished types, they are common items in life.

Especially after the squirrels mastered the planting method and began to plant vines on a large scale, Qi Le did not lack crystal nuclei at all, and the same was true for the native species that opened shops in the market.

In the middle of the night, the populations accustomed to daytime activities closed their shops one after another, and either returned to their territory or stayed in the shops to rest.

The nocturnal population is full of energy.

In order not to affect other people's rest, the shops that are open at night are all opened on the west side of the territory, and will deliberately lower their voices, not as noisy as during the day.

The kitten returned from the eighth district, accompanied by Dalia, mother and son besides Tai Sui.

Not long after the opening of the night market, it was the first time that the lynx mother and child saw each other.

Dalia's expression was always serious, and nothing could be seen.The little lynx couldn't hide its curiosity, and kept looking around.The juvenile lynx was also shaking its ears, and wanted to go in and have a look.

"The night market is very interesting and there are many good things." Qi Le said with a smile, "Qining can take them there."

Dalia glanced over, Brother Lynx immediately raised his head, full of anticipation, four big eyes shining together.The little lynx yelled coquettishly twice, which made the mother lynx feel soft, and finally nodded.

Mao Tuan immediately cheered and pulled his brother to go over.

The kitten was about to take a step, but was stopped by Qi Le.

The cat father took out the python meat from the space button, handed it to the kitten, and said, "Eat it with Ash Ayuan."

"Thank you dad!"

The kitten rubbed against Qi Le, picked up the python meat, and ran towards the little friend.

Father Cat looked at Dalia, patted his head, and took out another piece of python meat.As a result, the meat was still on the paws, and a mutant antelope suddenly hit in front of it.

"For you." Dalia put away the metal box, licked his paw, "I heard that Qining said you like to eat this, so I caught it for you."

"Thank you."

"No need." Dalia raised his head, "Compared to your help to me, a few strange beasts are nothing. Tell me which one you want to eat, as long as I can catch it, I will catch it for you."

Looking at the girl, the cat father was moved, but always felt something was wrong.

Pulling the mutant antelope, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and suddenly he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

After the green girl, he was dominated by the lynx girl again?
