Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1060: Chapter 706: Turning Decay into Miracles (Part 2)

Nan Yi, who was usually busy driving the Star Spider to carry passengers, came, and Green Peach, whom they hadn’t seen for decades, also came.

— Something’s up!

Spiky Wing led the way, calling them into the cave hall to talk, then took out some freshly harvested Origin Force Food from the last few days and laid it on the stone platform as hospitality.

"Chairman White Ivy, Red Peach, what good news do you have?"

White Ivy didn’t say much. The Shanglu Divine Pattern on his forehead flashed, and a familiar seven-color rainbow Metal Can fell onto the stone platform.

"Oh—"

Spiky Wing understood at a glance.

"Chairman White Ivy, has that Bee King who brews Origin Force Honey finally arrived in the Venus Star System?"

"That’s right! The trade in Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey can start again."

"What about the Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit? It came up together too, right?"

"Mm... yes..."

White Ivy answered vaguely, then reminded, "Spiky Wing, Life-Extending Divine Good is a serious matter, you absolutely cannot casually leak it. I really don’t want it to be like back on the Home Planet, wherever I went I was surrounded by a huge crowd of insects, and in the end I offended everyone."

"I understand that!"

Spiky Wing asked, "For the Origin Force Honey trade, is it still your Chamber of Commerce monopolizing it?"

"Monopolizing sounds a bit too harsh..."

White Ivy said, "For now, it’s our White Ivy Chamber of Commerce doing exclusive buying and selling."

Spiky Wing twitched his Tentacles slightly.

On the Home Planet, he had personally witnessed White Ivy starting from Origin Force Honey, rising at high speed, and step by step monopolizing Divine Grade trade across the Ten Thousand Clan and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent.

The trade in the Venus Star System and that on the Home Planet were different, but not essentially different.

It was the same path; White Ivy just had to walk it again, and it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Spiky Wing was one of the few, after coming to the Venus Star System, who still believed in White Ivy even after learning he’d been scammed into a debt of a hundred million.

"Chairman White Ivy, for this year’s trade, are you paying with Bee King Honey?"

"Yes. As long as you’re willing."

"What about the price?"

"Price stays the same. Competition in Divine-Given Origin Force Food trade is already fierce. If I raise the price again, then Bee King Honey will lose its advantage."

"That’s true..."

Spiky Wing’s Tentacles drooped, the tips rolling up a trickle of Water and twisting open the Metal Can lid.

He swept it with his spiritual power to check.

The familiar formula, the familiar taste.

The mixed Strong Fragrance style that the meat-eating Mantis Clan liked.

Refined purely from Water System Divine-Given Origin Force Food.

Spiky Wing also noticed a detail.

There were two Chamber of Commerce embossings on the can body,

one was a straw-yellow White Ivy Grass Mark, the emblem of the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, a Level Two Chamber of Commerce.

The other was some kind of Orchid Grass Mark, a sea-blue Third Level Chamber of Commerce emblem!

Spiky Wing asked in puzzlement, "Chairman White Ivy, is this the Chamber of Commerce of that Bee Clan Kingdom you cooperate with? Third Level?"

White Ivy said vaguely, "They’ve got a lot of good stuff, so they were directly promoted to a Third Level Chamber of Commerce."

"!!!"

Spiky Wing understood some of the Chamber of Commerce ranking rules.

— The hard requirement for a Third Level Chamber of Commerce is an asset score of over 100 points.

— A single Life-Extending Divine Good is roughly scored between 30 to 50 points.

— A Wild God-Given Seed is uniformly scored at 1 point per tree.

— Fifty or sixty Wild God-Given Seeds? Absolutely impossible.

— Then it can only be Divine Grade!

He skipped past the sensitive topic.

Spiky Wing pointed at the Bee King Honey and asked, "Selling at 1000 Primordial Crystals per can?"

White Ivy: "That’s right. About the same as when we were in the Star Realm."

Spiky Wing said, "I believe your Bee King Honey will quickly become a bestseller in the Venus Star System!"

"I’m confident too, but..."

White Ivy sighed lightly, "Here, too few insects know about Origin Force Honey. Promoting it is hard!"

White Ivy shifted to a lighter tone and continued, "Getting it to spread quickly is even harder. But there’s a shortcut, very simple: if we can get the Bee King Honey trade into the Giant Mantis Commerce Chamber..."

White Ivy stopped there and said, "Spiky Wing, lend a hand. In the future, I’ll get you a Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Thunder System, Wind System, or Wood Element Talent."

"This..."

Spiky Wing turned his gaze aside to hide the joy in his heart, then feigned anger, "Chairman White Ivy, we’ve been old friends for a thousand years. For this kind of thing, even if you didn’t say anything, I’d still help."

"Then I’ll thank you in advance."

"I, White Ivy, have never shortchanged a friend."

The Shanglu Divine Pattern on White Ivy’s forehead flashed, and two Spider Silk Bags fell in front of Spiky Wing.

Spiky Wing lightly tapped with his Tentacles, manipulating Water to open them and look.

One Spider Silk Bag held a single Metal Can. The inscription on the can body read: [Comprehensive Earth Series]

The other Spider Silk Bag held three Metal Cans. The inscription on the can bodies read: [Comprehensive Wood Element]

The Stone Pattern Mantis only had Earth System and Water System Talent Potential.

Spiky Wing very much understood White Ivy’s meaning and stood up, saying:

"My Spiky Wing Wood Divine-Given Seed still needs two days before it ripens for harvesting. Chairman White Ivy, stay here for now and help me keep an eye on things."

"I’ll go find the Whitehead Leader now."

With that, he picked up the Spider Silk Bags and left.

...

The Whitehead Leader was the founder of the Mantis King’s Kingdom, the First Generation Leader of Hidden Wing Mountain, and a former insect of destiny.

Unfortunately, he only had a mere four God-Given Life Seeds, and once he reached the Universe Starry Sky, that meant nothing.

His Evolution Level was stuck at Nine Traces Realm, Age Period 6; he handed all his Life Seeds over to the younger insects below to manage and sponsor the juniors, while he himself went completely into Hibernation.

The Stone Pattern Mantis Tribe had been a gloriously unmatched Top-Level great clan on the Home Planet.

After arriving in the Venus Star System, they became destitute and embarrassed.

The reason was nothing more than that the Tribe’s wealth had all been left on the Home Planet.

The main reason so many subordinate Mantis Clan were still willing to follow was that everyone knew Hidden Wing Mountain had Divine Grade, and a great many Wild God-Given Seeds.

Right now everyone was just enduring.

Hibernating and waiting.

Waiting for 12,000 years later, when Origin Force Reincarnation happened back on the Home Planet and the junior Little Mantis would bring the Tribe’s wealth up.

Once the time came, everyone would soar.

...

In front of the boulder-sealed cave.

"Whitehead Leader~"

Spiky Wing lowered his spiritual power Mind and called carefully.

He waited for a while.

A questioning spiritual power Mind came from within the cave, "Spiky Wing? What is it?"
