Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1062: Chapter 707: The December Market

North 2782 District.

Chairman White Ivy and her party walked out of the Green Giant Mantis Tribe’s territory and said goodbye to the Whitehead Leader on the main road, watching them leave.

"Wow~ Oh!"

"Chairman White Ivy is amazing!"

Silvergrass and Fish Vine jumped and cheered first.

They never expected that such a large force like the Giant Mantis Commerce Chamber, which usually doesn’t even allow entry, would be so agreeable upon actual contact.

After a simple exchange, they secured an order of 100 cans per year, with the price still set at the standard 1000 Primordial Crystals per can.

They agreed to pay with an equivalent value of Divine-Given Origin Force Food.

However, they required that for every 100 cans, 5 additional cans be gifted.

When all was considered, only a meager 5% profit was left.

The value lies in the large quantity,

earning 5000 Primordial Crystals annually from just one place in the Giant Mantis Commerce Chamber.

Additionally, the Whitehead Leader proposed that if they purchased 20 cans, 1 can would be gifted. Their Stone Mantis Tribe could also free up a transaction of 20,000 Primordial Crystals’ worth of Divine-Given Origin Force Food annually to purchase 20 cans.

The various leaders of the Mantis Clan, led by the Giant Mantis Commerce Chamber, had mutual interactions.

It’s believed that soon, Bee King Honey will circulate among the Mantis Clan.

Consequently, more transactions will be secured.

Bee King Honey has successfully penetrated the Mantis Clan!

There are also exchanges between different tribes.

Over time, Bee King Honey will gradually spread from the Mantis Clan to surrounding areas.

After rejoicing,

Green Peach looked around and asked, "Chairman White Ivy, where are we heading next?"

"District 2781, to the Climbing Mantis Tribe! We’ll continue to consolidate our trade with the Mantis Clan."

White Ivy waved a claw and called out, "Silvergrass, open the hatch."

Green Peach pursued, asking, "Chairman White Ivy, it’s still early. After visiting the Mantis Clan, which major tribe shall we target next?"

White Ivy: "Next stop, Cloud Crown Commerce Chamber, to visit Yan Crown and Cluster Crown."

In the Venus Star System, the Cloud Crown Mountain Beautiful Ji Bug Tribe is just a rising small group.

White Ivy added, "With the same approach, try to introduce ourselves through the Beautiful Ji Bug Tribe, and get in touch with the leaders of the Impoverished Bug Tribe."

...

...

Most plant fruits are harvested and picked from July to September.

Most Insect Clan warriors also awaken from hibernation during this period.

Autumn is the best season for roving merchants to visit for trade and commerce.

North 2528 District, Xianglan Mountain.

In the mid-morning,

Dragon Cypress was leading Tie Bush and Rainbow Mulberry in ability training on the dirt square.

After being away for a month and a half, White Ivy’s party, having only covered half of the roving merchant season, returned.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, have Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora gone into hibernation?"

"Of course—"

"Then can you help produce a batch of Bee King Honey?"

"Is it selling well?"

"Completely sold out! During the harvest season, we also purchased a large batch of Divine-Given Origin Force Food, let’s quickly make it into Bee King Honey."

"How much?"

"230,000!"

Upon hearing this, Dragon Cypress’s tentacles quivered, and he sincerely praised, "Chairman White Ivy is impressive!"

The value of 230,000 Primordial Crystals’ worth of Divine-Given Origin Force Food approximately corresponds to the yield of over three hundred Divine-Given Seeds, right?

This being the first year selling Bee King Honey in the Venus Star System, to obtain such market share in just half a month, one must admire the capabilities of White Ivy and her team!

"It’s a must!"

White Ivy said proudly, and then explained frustratingly, "However, the profits are not to the liking of the insects. As I mentioned about the Giant Mantis Tribe, they demand buy 20 cans get 1 free..."

White Ivy explained the situation in detail.

The public roads of the Venus Star System have facilitated communication among Insect Clan warriors.

The traditional roving merchant model on the home planet doesn’t work as well here.

Some demand 20 cans get 1 free, some 25 cans get 1 free, and others 30 cans get 1 free.

In any case, a 10% profit margin is considered too high and needs to be negotiated down.

White Ivy took out two stone slabs and handed them to Dragon Cypress for review.

Similar to operations on the home planet, the stone slabs recorded the ordering information from various Tribal Chambers of Commerce in the universal language of the universe, along with the agreed-upon discount terms.

Dragon Cypress quickly scanned and calculated.

It’s not bad, for a transaction worth 230,000, the profit is 14,800 Primordial Crystals, split fifty-fifty, each party getting 7,400.

—Trading is much faster than farming~

Dragon Cypress thought silently to himself.

He instructed Rainbow Mulberry to wake up Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora and directed the ant colony to work urgently, producing Bee King Honey for White Ivy.

...

...

Another month and a half later,

the autumn roving merchant trade concluded, and White Ivy’s party returned.

This time, they secured orders for 190,000 worth of Bee King Honey.

The total transaction amount reached 420,000.

White Ivy’s insect connections, accumulated over five hundred years both on the home planet and in the Venus Star System, were not yet exhausted.

Next year, they can continue, and the transaction amounts can still double.

...

The Night Fragrance infused with Primordial Gemstones has regained a rapid growth rate, with the tree body height surpassing 200 meters within just one year, far ahead of all other Divine-Given Seeds.

It’s estimated that within ten years, it could break through to advance to the Third Trace Realm.

...

[Time: 78th Era - 119 Yuan - Year 871 - December]

Time flies, and it’s the end-of-year winter trading month again.

Following the planned action,

White Ivy, Red Peach, and Silvergrass formed a group.

Ink Orchid, Green Peach, and Poison Bean formed another group.

Quickly gathering goods and delivering them to Xianglan Mountain as fast as possible.

Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora directed the ant colony, categorizing and refining them into Origin Force Honey.

Only making the Elemental Seven Systems.

Metal cans used the three-color style, White Ivy Grass marked in grass green, Xianglan Grass marked in sea blue, using two colors.

Wood Element metal cans used green as the base color.

Water System used azure blue as the base color, Earth System used earth yellow as the base color, Fire System used red, Gold System used gold, Thunder System used blue-purple, and Wind System used bright silver.

The distinctive colors distinguish the elemental category of the Origin Force Honey.

Produce a small batch of 1,000 cans to try out.

Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple took 500 cans, White Ivy, Red Peach, and Silvergrass, carrying them, set up a stall at the trade plaza of South 1001 District in the Southern Hemisphere of Twisted Blue Star.

White Rice and Black Rice took 500 cans, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid personally led and guided the setup at the trade plaza of North 1001 District on Twisted Blue Star.
