Dawn Spider

Chapter 106 The Red Cone Mountain Lord's Brilliant Idea: Air Transport
Time flies, and another year is coming to an end.

November 33st

The main hall of the cave dwelling on the north side of the mountain.

After processing the last batch of Feathered Jaw Tree God-given Seeds collected from Crimson Peak this year, Jin and Yin moved all the gene agent storage boxes from the rear warehouse.

Including the seeds of the Leymus chinensis from the Lord of the Silky Mountain, there are a total of 29 trees. Since there are two seeds of the Indigofera chinensis, they are combined into one. Therefore, all the proceeds are divided into 28 storage boxes.

Each storage box is attached to a wooden nameplate, which Jin has illustrated with the name, date, and quantity.

It is almost equivalent to a 'self-created' hieroglyphic script, which other spiders cannot understand. Therefore, Jin also numbered them according to the transaction time sequence, simply arranging them from 001 to 028.

Jin counted everything by himself, scribbling on the ground with his toes, making statistics and calculations.

"How much gold is this?"

The master of Red Cone Mountain stared at the long string of numbers on the ground and began to understand them.

Jin solemnly said, "If we include the Thunderclap Seed bestowed by the Lord of Sikui Mountain..."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain was also present and interrupted, saying, "Let's include it."

"..."

Jin continued, "Our total revenue this year is 122540 raw stones."

Silver corrected, "Fourth Brother, it's a divinely bestowed food with primal force worth 122540 primal stones!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The taro swayed its leaves, making sounds of surprise and admiration. But mostly, it was envy.

Silver raised its pincers and forelegs and cheered, "Crack! Crack! Crack! So much! This exceeds the profits of the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord's territory."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain chimed in, "Yes, yes. It's even more profitable than the two divinely bestowed seeds of the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain."

Sikui Mountain Master: "..."

Jin said, "In the Flame Spider Kingdom, all the God-given Seeds suitable for equipment processing are here. The income is fixed, and it's difficult to see significant growth in the short term."

"This income is very high."

Lord Sikui said, "Jin, this income is enough for you to evolve and grow rapidly during the advanced warrior stage. Even after reaching the lord level, the speed won't be slow. As for after reaching the lord level, you can go to the neighboring Ivory Island to expand your trade."

gold:"……"

You mean only lords go to explore Ivory Island?

That's way too conservative!
Jin remained silent.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain continued, "That's right. There are five or six thousand insectoid warriors on the neighboring Ivory Island, and they are scattered across the island's various hilltops in the form of independent small tribes. There is a natural barrier between different races and tribes. There is interaction between tribes, but they are certainly not as closely united as our Flame Spider Kingdom. Therefore, these tribes are more willing to cooperate in processing the fruits produced by the divinely bestowed seeds whose elemental attributes do not match."

As the Lord of Red Cone Mountain spoke, his eight eyes flashed, and he continued, "Jin, the resources of the God-given Seed from Ivory Island are enough to support your breakthrough to the Insect King realm."

"No! No! Not enough..."

Jin Sanlian denied it, pondered for a moment, then suddenly his spirits lifted, he raised his forelegs, and said with high spirits, "I want to become the strongest Force warrior. Abundant and high-quality divine Force food is the basic and essential condition. My idea is that, if conditions permit, I will only eat divine Force food to grow and evolve."

"..."

Silk Sunflower and Red Cone Mountain Master choked with sobs.

Yin was speechless: Evolve only by eating God-given Force food? Fourth Brother, are you crazy?

"Whoosh~ La la la~"

The taro was trying hard to show off and get attention, which was puzzling, but the shaking of the taro leaves seemed to agree.

Jin had many ideas, but it was too early to discuss them now, so he changed the subject, saying, "Lord of Red Cone Mountain, you've worked the hardest this year, and these profits should rightfully be shared with you..."

Jin turned to look at the Lord of Sikui Mountain. The Lord of Sikui Mountain said, "Red Cone, you take 30% of these profits. Once you've accumulated enough, send it to the kingdom for unified trading, and then I'll cash it out for you."

"How can this be..."

The master of Red Cone Mountain declined shyly for a moment, then said, "I've really worked hard running around this year, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain pointed with his paw at the box containing the divinely bestowed eggplant tree gene agent and said, "This stuff is too little. When will we be able to collect a whole box? Let alone a whole box, even if we fill a metal cylinder with 20 capsules, it will take 5 years."

"This is indeed a problem..."

Jin said, "There are only six kinds of divinely bestowed food here, which are the six elements other than fire, out of the seven elements."

"After Lord Famu returns, we can discuss with him to see if we can do this: we can synthesize six boxes according to the elemental system, one box each of water, wood, earth, metal, wind, and lightning."

"When trading in the Southern Continent, these divinely bestowed foods with primal force are used for change or to make up the difference. They help us dispose of these small amounts."

"We can find warriors with awakened metal-type talents to imitate and make a batch of metal tubes of the same size and shape. We can also find spare or replacement God-given Force food particles and package them in the imitation metal cans."

"Doing it this way will be quite troublesome. We can only entrust the lords who are familiar with the business, such as Famu, Yunxun, Yunzhang, Shanluo, and Xiangluo, to help us handle it together."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain pondered for a moment and said, "This method... is a bit troublesome... but it seems there is no better way."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain raised his paw and said, "I'll ask Lord Famu after he returns."

They fell silent without prior arrangement.

After a long time,
Lord Sikui Mountain broke the silence first, saying, "Jin, the trade over to Ivory Island is not easy to do."

"Ivory Island is a long and narrow island, 1600 kilometers long. It is separated from Ivory Island by a strait spanning over 400 kilometers..."

"The fruits produced by the divinely bestowed seeds, such as berries, drupes, and pears, are suitable for processing by this equipment and can yield high profits. After they are ripe and harvested, their original energy will quickly dissipate and be lost."

"How do you solve the transportation problem over such a long distance?"

Jin said, "My idea is to collect metal, build a metal cargo ship, put the equipment on the ship, and move it along the coast. Wherever the fruit is ripe for harvest, the ship will go there."

Lord Sikui said, "There are two problems. First, metal is very expensive. Building a cargo ship would probably cost millions of primal stones. Second, there are malevolent spirits roaming the ocean. The primal energy released from the food has an incredible attraction to these spirits. We will definitely encounter attacks from these spirits when sailing at sea. Without the protection of the Spider King or the Insect King, we might not be able to handle a King-level malevolent spirit if we encounter one."

"Yes. It's very troublesome."

Jin said helplessly, "If all the tribes, big and small, on Ivory Island were to start trading, the total revenue should reach 40 per year. This income cannot be monopolized by me, a single spider."

"Regarding security, my idea is to find one or two Zerg warriors with water-based abilities to cooperate with. Warriors with water-based abilities can propel giant ships, fight at sea, and Zerg warriors who have mastered water-based abilities are not afraid of any evil spirits..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain raised his paw to interrupt, saying, "Gold, Silk Sunflower, I have a better plan!"

Master Sikui glanced sideways and asked, "What's your plan?"

"air transport!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain said, "Dragonfly warriors fly incredibly fast. If we find a powerful dragonfly warrior to cooperate with, wouldn't all the problems be solved?"

--Yes!

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Silk Sunflower Mountain Master, Gold, and Silver lit up, and their blocked minds were instantly opened.

Jin asked uncertainly, "Can the Dragonfly Warriors fly over a thousand kilometers while carrying a heavy load?"

Yin asked, "Then we'd have to cooperate with Dragonfly Warriors at the Lord level, right? That would mean taking a lot of profits. Fourth Brother would earn even less."

Lord Sikui asked, "The body structure of dragonfly warriors is not suitable for farming, so it would be difficult for them to form tribal communities, right? At least, there are no dragonfly tribes on the Twin Islands of Saluo."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain said, "The number of Dragonfly Warriors is indeed relatively small, and ordinary Dragonfly Warriors simply cannot carry heavy loads. As far as I know, our Flame Spider Kingdom cannot find any Dragonfly Warriors like them..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain paused for a moment and then said, "I'll go to Lord Famu for help and ask him to inquire whether there are any Dragonfly Warriors on Ivory Island who are capable of doing this job."
