Chapter 1014: Chapter 692: Civilization’s New Era_2
Ink Orchid asked in confusion: "Why?"
Perilla said, "White Ivy left together with a Metal Mantis named Red Peach. There was also a Flame Spider Warrior who didn’t meet the Melde Chamber of Commerce’s recruitment standards; it refused to give up."
"Oh—"
Ink Orchid roughly understood.
Red Peach was a matter of race; it wasn’t a Flame Spider Roving Merchant, so it wasn’t invited to join the Melde Chamber of Commerce.
Ink Orchid asked, "Who is the Little Flame Spider that doesn’t meet the Melde Chamber of Commerce’s recruitment standards?"
Perilla said, "For those who don’t meet the standards, we don’t ask their names."
Ink Orchid: "..."
Ink Orchid then asked, "What about the Snow Velvet Spider King? And there was another very powerful Blood Root Spider King."
Perilla said, "Snow Velvet’s identity is special; the information is classified. Blood Root is an exceptionally intelligent Insect; it refused the Melde Chamber of Commerce’s invitation and left together with Snow Velvet under the pretext of escorting."
Special? Classified?
Ink Orchid tilted her head, thinking, and probed, "Is it because the Snow Velvet Spider King possesses a Divine-Grade Fate Species?"
Perilla said, "No."
Ink Orchid said, "Because the Snow Velvet Spider King’s Shanglu Space is particularly large?"
Perilla said, "Stop guessing. You won’t get it. And don’t try to test me; I’m a Wisdom Brain program. By design, I’m incapable of leaking classified information."
"Alright..."
Ink Orchid asked, "Most of the Spiders that left the Home Planet were invited by you to join the Melde Chamber of Commerce?"
Perilla said, "We select the best."
Ink Orchid’s thoughts jumped as she asked, "What about Butterfly King Nupur and the White Crystal Butterfly King? And Flash Butterfly Warrior Purple and Jade Dragonfly Warrior Green Heart. They also left together with many Insects five hundred years ago."
Perilla said, "The Samsara Overlord of the White Crystal Star System was born in the Hymn Goddess Skirt-Gauze Butterfly Tribe, which everyone abbreviates as the ’Saint Butterfly Tribe.’ In the Venus Star System, there are specialized Third-level Star Spiders welcoming Saint Butterfly Warriors. As for their specific destinations, I don’t know."
"Star Spiders? Does ’third-level’ refer to Civilization level? Or creation level?"
Ink Orchid suddenly had a flash of inspiration and was startled, asking in shock, "Could it be that the current Insect Clan Civilization controls three Star Systems, with the White Crystal Star System ruled by the Saint Butterfly Tribe?"
Perilla said, "Yes."
Perilla explained, "Star Spider is the abbreviation and general term for ’arachnoid spacetime tunnel ships.’ Take me for example: my design and production model is [Round Purple Flame Spider 1-3 type]. Here, ’Round Purple Flame Spider’ means my external form inherits that of the most noble Round Purple Flame Spider Tribe in the Universe. 1-3 stands for First Level Original Force Civilization, third-tier manufacturing technology and Primordial Energy Power, which is roughly equivalent to Star Level."
"My maximum cruising speed is ten times the speed of light."
"Third-level is roughly equivalent to the Overlord Realm. The White Crystal Star System has arranged ten [Illusory Color Flame Spider 3-3 type] Star Spiders, traveling back and forth between the Venus Star System and the White Crystal Star System, specifically responsible for receiving Saint Butterfly Warriors.
The 3-3 type is the highest-tier Star Spider that the current Insect Clan Civilization can produce, with a maximum speed of up to one thousand times the speed of light, and the capability to cross Star Systems."
Ink Orchid listened in a daze; she felt like she understood, yet her mind was filled with questions.
Following Dragon Cypress’s method, she reviewed the other party’s words, sorted out each point of doubt one by one, and then grabbed the key points to ask again.
"The Saint Butterfly Tribe rules the White Crystal Star System, one of the Three Major Star Systems? Then they must be insanely rich, right?"
"Of course. An inexhaustible, never-ending wealth."
"Then when White Crystal and Butterfly King Nupur went there, they must have enjoyed special treatment from their own Tribe?"
"Naturally. Saint Butterfly Warriors who leave the Home Planet will all have the best places to take root in the White Crystal Star System, and can also obtain a respectable job."
"A job?"
"In the Universe Starry Sky, there are all kinds of industries and all kinds of jobs. As rulers of a Star System, the Saint Butterfly Tribe assigns jobs to their own kin; the worst of these is managing a wealthy Life Planet."
"A wealthy Life Planet?"
"A Planet like Twisted Blue Star, suitable for the Insect Clan to settle on. But the Planets managed by Saint Butterfly Warriors are at minimum First-Level Life Planets located above a First Level Source Point."
"Origin Point? Zero Level Origin Point? First Level Source Point?"
"Origin Force Life depends on Origin Force to survive and develop. An Origin Point is a spatial particle that continuously releases Origin Force. Origin Points are divided into four major tiers: Zero Level, First Level, Level Two, and Third Level. The higher the tier of the Origin Point, the more Origin Force it releases, the denser the Origin Force in the surrounding space, and the wider the coverage of Origin Force."
"Got it."
Ink Orchid found it hard to believe and asked, "Managing a Planet? A Life Planet similar to the Home Planet? Managed by a single Insect?"
Perilla said, "Roughly so."
Ink Orchid secretly clicked her tongue and asked, "By managing a Planet, you mean..."
Perilla said, "For the Manager Insect, looking upward toward the Tribe, it’s roughly divided into two models: the first, paying a fixed amount of fees within a fixed term; the second, paying a certain proportion of fees based on operating income."
Perilla said, "For the Manager Insect, looking downward at the Planet, it’s also roughly divided into two models: the first, self-operation and development; the second, directly inviting other Insect Clan Warriors to settle in and collecting rent."
Ink Orchid understood and summed up, "Paying resources upward, collecting resources downward, and the difference in between is the profit from operating and managing!"
Perilla said, "Basically correct—"
Ink Orchid asked, "And this is only the worst job for a Saint Butterfly Warrior? Then what’s the best job?"
Perilla said, "The best job is having no job at all. The Tribe will provide abundant resources; outstanding Warriors only need to focus on growth and Evolution. The Butterfly King Nupur you mentioned should be able to obtain this kind of job."
"Oh—"
Ink Orchid was envious. A thought struck her, and she asked, "Perilla, do you know the Nine-Colored Mantis King?"
"I don’t."
"What about the Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis and the Seven-Colored Divine Tree?"
"I have related data; its status is classified."
"Did the Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis send a Third-level Starship to pick up... me?"
"You are not a Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis. The Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis has already been wiped out on the Home Planet."
