Ant Lord in the Star Realm
Chapter 1026 - 695: We’re Rich!~_4
"Oh—"
Are we being targeted?
All the insects remained silent.
White Ivy continued: "Trading regular Origin Force Food and Divine-Given Origin Force Food is manageable, but trading Divine-Grade Fruit is challenging. It’s similar to the situation on the home planet. Typically, Divine God-Given Seeds are kept within tribes; they rarely disclose them to other insects, let alone sell them. They usually exchange Divine Grade items with trusted insects."
White Ivy’s tone gradually became enthusiastic and resolute: "My idea is to use Origin Force Ant Honey and Ant King Honey as a starting point, leveraging the Divine Grade items you possess, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, to progressively operate and monopolize the Divine Grade trades in the Venus Star System again."
"I’ve been in the Venus Star System for five hundred years, always gathering information and actively networking, just waiting for your arrival!"
Ink Orchid: "Oh—"
White Rice: "Oh—"
White Rice said solemnly: "I think we should wait until Dragon Cypress Ant King arrives to discuss the land lease and trading matters. Ink Orchid, what do you think?"
Ink Orchid replied: "I can’t make decisions. In the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom, it’s up to the Great King. Matters like Divine-Grade Fruit or Origin Force Food, the Second King only needs to eat."
"..."
White Ivy felt deflated.
Everyone here has lived for thousands of years; indeed, they aren’t easily fooled.
Yellow Stem, who had been listening intently, raised a claw and asked: "Chairman White Ivy, may I inquire about something? Is our Shield Grasshopper Tribe ancestor still in the Venus Star System?"
White Ivy: "I looked into it. The Shield Grasshopper Tribe wealthy elite rented a third-level Star Spider four thousand years ago, and the whole tribe went to the White Crystal Star System seeking higher development. They should be en route now."
"A Shield Grasshopper Warrior named ’Mountain Maple’ stayed behind, residing in Twisted Blue Star, North 4450 District. I’ve already informed Mountain Maple in detail about the home planet Cloud Trace Continent and your situation, and it has been eagerly anticipating your arrival, coming to ask me every thirty years when you’ll arrive..."
"I’ll first arrange for Ink Orchid and Dragon Cypress, then I’ll take you there."
—Mountain Maple?
—An ancestor from the previous Origin Force Era?
—We’ve found the Shield Grasshopper Tribe ancestor!
Yellow Stem, Ivy, Wisteria, White Wood, and Black Wood jumped and cheered.
White Ivy continued explaining: "In this new universe, new era, with a burgeoning Insect Clan Civilization, Natural True God encourages all insect clan warriors to explore the dark deep space, to develop new territories, and also encourages free trade, flourishing commerce. Every insect can establish a chamber of commerce. The Shield Grasshopper Tribe has established its own ’Huagi Chamber of Commerce."
"A chamber of commerce has an account and assets, essentially wealth shared by the tribe. When your Shield Grasshopper Little Warriors arrive, they can join the chamber of commerce. According to its rules, each year, you can receive a ’salary’ of corresponding amounts, which indirectly means the tribe will provide welfare to new warriors, supporting their growth."
"The Shield Grasshopper Tribe is wealthy, and you Shield Grasshopper Warriors will live very comfortably."
—Wow!
—Welfare?
—Primordial Crystal?
—Or do we directly receive Divine-Given Origin Force Food?
—How much can we get each month?
—Our ancestor insects are incredible!
Yellow Stem, leading the five Shield Grasshopper warriors, cheered again.
Wuye raised a claw and asked: "Chairman White Ivy, is there anyone from our Barley Bug Tribe here?"
White Ivy: "I looked into it as well. Regrettably, no."
Red Moonseed urgently asked: "What about the Jifeng Tribe?"
"No—"
White Ivy: "I looked into it. Only the Shield Grasshopper Tribe is present. Actually, for most insects, evolving and growing in the Scar Realm is difficult and slow. Only those tribes that were prosperous and wealthy, with a well-ordered heritage on the home planet, have the resources to care for juniors.
Other smaller tribe warriors, once entering the star space, struggle with living themselves, let alone having the energy to care for juniors. At most, they could bring them along to live together, seeking survival as a group. It might be better for you to follow Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid; the two of them are sure to prosper."
"..."
Ink Orchid also pondered about inquiring about the ancestors of its tribe, but decided against it upon hearing this.
