Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1057: Chapter 705: Deep Collaboration (Part 3)

The trade square is already overrun with insects.

The roads leading to the square are lined with stalls.

Both buying and selling are happening.

Various Insect Clan Warriors come and go incessantly.

Dense mental power and thoughts crisscross, mixed with noise.

Dragon Cypress observes from the air, lands on a flat ground next to the main road, leads the insects, crosses a slope, and enters the trading site.

Ink Orchid asked: "Green Peach, usually not a single insect can be seen, are they all hibernating?"

Green Peach answered: "Of course. Everyone is the same, very cherishing of life. Usually, a few insects, a dozen or so, will group together, taking turns managing the territory. Twelve months a year, they wake up around July, August, and September to harvest and manage the territory. Then, they hibernate for two more months and wake again in December to come to the 1001 district for trade. They are mostly in hibernation at other times, with at most one or two insects as sentinels."

Ink Orchid: "With so many insects, how can we find Chairman White Ivy to meet them?"

Green Peach pointed a claw towards the outside of the main road, at a distant hillside, and said: "The location was agreed upon, they will come over in the evening."

"Oh——"

Ink Orchid asked again: "With so many insects, the Origin Force Honey we produce must be in high demand, right?"

Green Peach: "Of course. With a population of millions of insects, if one out of every hundred is willing to buy, that is still over ten thousand sales a year. In reality, it’s only more, not less."

Green Peach said with regret: "The trade scale of Origin Force Honey is ultimately limited by the production of Bee King Jelly."

White Rice asked: "Even if a Common Life Seed awakens in the Third Trace Realm and produces soul consciousness, the nectar it produces isn’t good enough?"

"We’ve tried before, and it’s not good enough!"

Green Peach shook its antennae and said: "A Common Life Seed and a Divine-Given Seed are ultimately not on the same life level, and the nectar they produce is naturally different in essence."

Ink Orchid asked: "Chairman White Ivy must have reached out then, right? How many sources of Bee King Jelly have we secured so far?"

Green Peach: "Still not many. According to the small jar standard from the home planet, the yearly production only suffices to seal 8,000 jars at most."

Ink Orchid asked perplexed: "Why only this much? On the home planet, it was twenty to thirty thousand jars a year."

Green Peach said with a sigh: "Under the Universe Law, the yield of the Divine-Given Seed decreases, and the number of blooms is only a third of what it was on the home planet..."

"Uh..."

Ink Orchid fell silent, tilting its head to look at Dragon Cypress.

"Don’t look at me. I can’t do anything about this either..."

Dragon Cypress did a quick mental calculation and said: "Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce’s Divine-Given Seed quantity is also limited, each year’s honey harvest suffices to fill about two thousand jars."

——That’s over ten thousand jars?

——For a million insects?

——How can that be enough?

"..."

The insects were speechless.

Origin Force is a presence between energy and matter, with immense penetrative power.

The Origin Point of the Venus Star System is on the sun, from which Primordial Energy emanates.

During the day, Origin Force shines down from the sky.

At night, Origin Force penetrates the entire planet, seeping from below the surface.

The Divine Force Barrier set up by the Natural True God cannot fully block the seepage of Origin Force.

The biggest challenge in the trade of Origin Force Honey is in sealing.

Currently, it’s known that Spider Silk Scroll and Bee King Jelly can effectively isolate Primordial Energy.

Spider Silk can be spun endlessly...

The production of Bee King Jelly isn’t increasing, so striking it rich is still out of reach~

"..."

Dragon Cypress noticed that all the insects setting up stalls were selling Origin Force Food using medium and small Spider Silk Bags, each packed separately in bags.

For different types of Origin Force Food, the bags were of the same size, but the quantity in each varied, with most not filled completely.

Obviously, the price for each bag was fixed.

Dragon Cypress asked: "Green Peach, is the Origin Force Food here sold by the bag?"

Green Peach: "Yes. For convenience in trading, everyone uses the standard of 10 Primordial Crystals per bag. The medium Spider Silk Bag is produced by Third Trace Realm Origin Force Plants. The small Spider Silk Bag is from the Nine Traces Realm. As for the Star Marks Realm, there is basically none. Common Life Seeds grow slowly, generally, Insect Clan Warriors won’t live to reach the Star Marks Realm."

The insects observed again carefully.

Ninety percent of the goods were packed in medium Spider Silk Bags, with only a few items in small Spider Silk Bags.

Dragon Cypress deployed its Super Brain Ability, expanding mental power to scan around, gathering a rough estimate.

Upon further observation, it was clear that almost all Insect Clan Warriors purchasing Origin Force Food were looking more at Nine Traces Realm level Origin Force Food.

Undoubtedly, at the common Origin Force Food level, the Nine Traces Realm is slightly superior to the Third Trace Realm.

Dragon Cypress said: "Our Origin Force Honey will continue on the high-end path. Raw materials will only be sourced at the Nine Traces Realm level."

"Green Peach, you’re familiar with the prices, correct?"

Green Peach: "Familiar!"

Dragon Cypress: "Good. Everyone, pay attention to the prices, getting a simple understanding. If there’s anything you don’t recognize, ask Green Peach for clarification."

Dragon Cypress led the group of insects along the main road, watching as they went, walking all the way to the trade square, wandering back and forth in the trade square until nightfall.

They arrived at the designated location to wait.

White Ivy, Red Peach, and their group arrived on time.

They greeted each other.

Engaged in brief inquiries and discussions.

White Ivy asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, you’ve looked around and are familiar with the situation, right?"

Ink Orchid: "Yes, familiar!"

Dragon Cypress slightly tapped its antennae and asked: "Chairman White Ivy, Red Peach, due to the Bee King Jelly limitation, the Origin Force Honey is mainly made using Nine Traces Realm level raw materials, correct?"

White Ivy: "That’s right. That’s our plan."

Red Peach supplemented: "We can simplify appropriately, the Elemental Seven Systems has the highest demand, so we’ll only make the Elemental Seven Systems. We won’t make the five categories of life, strength, perception, carapace, and comprehensive physique."

Red Peach: "Most insects are poor, with limited purchasing power. Our idea is to use the small jar standard from the home planet. Each jar is packed with Origin Force Honey valued at 95 Primordial Crystals, sold at 100 Primordial Crystals, with a profit of 5 Primordial Crystals. We’ll just earn a bit for the effort in processing and selling."
