Dawn Spider

Chapter 122 The True Meaning of Venture Capital~
It turns out that one's nature can be changed through nurture.

Due to its mutation, the golden vine can freely switch between plant and seed states. Following the golden vine, it moves around and sees more and more plants and insects. At some point, it stopped being so resistant and instead became full of curiosity.

It was particularly curious about the pokeweed seed, and upon hearing that it had blossomed, it clamored to go and see it.

Jin, unable to resist, called Yin to join him. They worked late into the night, about 200 meters from the seed of the god-given pokeweed, to prepare the golden vines to take root and climb the banyan tree next to them.

...

night,

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain and Jin stood together under the pokeweed tree, a gift from the gods.

The next day,

The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Jin woke up early from his meditation, carried a bag of raw stones from beside the irrigation ditch, manipulated an extremely thin spider silk, and slowly began to cut and cut, replenishing the primal energy of the pokeweed seed bestowed by the gods.

Taro sensed the movement, woke up, pulled its roots out of the soil, and crawled up the mound. Unhurriedly, it unleashed its 12 growth abilities.

Just like last night, 280 Primal Stones were used up, and signs of Primal Energy Saturation appeared.

...

Nothing was said that day.

evening,

Jin then used the raw stone to give the god-given seed of pokeweed.

Taro has the normal twelve-year growth capacity.

Similarly, after using 280 Primal Stones, signs of Force saturation appeared.

...

It is basically confirmed that the God-given seeds of pokeweed during their flowering and fruiting period, combined with the growth capacity of taro, can consume up to 560 raw stones per day.

Because the taro's growth capacity is insufficient, it has not yet reached its limit.

Continue observation for five days.

Due to the limitations of the flowers and fruits, the 12 growth abilities, plus 560 raw stones, could only barely ensure that the God-given Seed of the Pokeweed could grow and evolve at a normal rate.

"..."

Jin suddenly remembered something.
In its early days, when the divinely bestowed seed of pokeweed took root in the northwest corner of Silk Sunflower Mountain, it was still at the intermediate level and had once borne a fruit, which it accidentally knocked off...

Actually, at that time, the seeds of pokeweed, bestowed by the gods, couldn't hold fruit at all. The fruit itself was already damaged, so it would fall off at the slightest touch. It wasn't that the seeds were damaged by the pokeweed itself.

Even though the Divine Seed of Pokeweed has now evolved to an advanced level, the situation hasn't fundamentally changed. Without a sufficient number of Primal Stones to replenish its Primal Energy and without the growth ability of Taro to assist it, the fruit probably still won't stay on and will fall off sooner or later.

The root cause lies in the insufficient concentration of natural primal forces.

...

"The Taro Growth Aid costs a whopping 560 Primogems a day!"

"Even without growth ability, it takes 300 raw stones a day."

"Moreover, taking the Golden Rain Tree as an example, the fruiting period will be very long! It's probably not as simple as three or five years."

"Is the West Serpent Lord's 100 million Primogems not enough?"

"10 rough stones a year is definitely not enough."

"What should I do?"

"Let's ask Lord West Serpent first. See if he's willing to invest more. If he's not, then the fruit will definitely not grow."

"I'm going to find Lord West Serpent!"

After a brief discussion,

The master of Red Cone Mountain hurriedly set off for Snake Mountain.

...

Two days later,
Lord West Serpent arrived.

"I heard that the God-given Seed of Pokeweed costs 560 Primal Stones a day?"

"Taro activates its growth ability, accelerating its growth."

"What if we don't speed up?"

"300 raw gems a day."

"So, following the usual pattern, if we accelerate for half a month and then rest for half a month, then the annual cost would be..."

"150,000 to 160,000 rough stones." "It's still the flowering season..."

"Once the fruiting season begins, the consumption may be even greater, and it is possible that the annual cost could exceed 200,000 yuan."

"Hiss... How many raw stones can your Silk Sunflower Mountain produce?"

"Not many, very few. There's also a Golden Leaf Vine, a divinely bestowed seed, which cost quite a few raw stones."

“Silk Mountain is indeed in dire straits for the time being. However, in two or three years, after the Silver Evolution Advanced Warriors are born, the income from the two divinely bestowed seeds, Black Oak and Camphor Tree, will probably be more abundant.”

"What about that alien civilization's equipment up in the mountain? You must make a lot of money processing and trading divinely bestowed fruits, right?"

"We're earning divinely bestowed Force food! Just enough for our growth and evolution. The Force food produced by the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord's ordinary life forms can be sold for Primal Stones to give to the Golden Leaf Vine, but that might still not be enough..."

"Are you saying that you can't even afford a single raw stone from this divinely bestowed pokeweed seed?"

"That's pretty much it."

"How many rough stones did I give you?"

"30?"

"35 million!"

"Investor Lu Shenci's seed has 100 million, and there is still 70 left."

"..."

Lord West Serpent stared at Jin with suspicion and asked, "Can 70 be used to cultivate pokeweed fruit?"

Jin Rushi said, "I have a feeling that it's not enough. We speculate that the flowering and fruiting cycle of the pokeweed seed is probably more than five years."

Lord West Serpent asked, "What if we don't have enough raw stones?"

Jin asked, "We'll figure it out ourselves? We definitely can't come up with that many raw stones. Or... venture capital... a failed investment?"

"hiss……"

Lord West Serpent is suffering from a toothache and is caught in a dilemma.

Knowing that the Divine Seed of Pokeweed consumes a lot of raw stones, I sensed something was wrong when I broke through from the intermediate to the advanced level last time...

That's true!

Isn’t this too confusing?

Is this never going to end?

At the same time, the West Serpent Lord became even more curious: what exactly was the effect of the fruit produced after consuming so many Primal Stones?
There's no reason to say that spending so many raw stones would result in something of little value.

Lord West Serpent pondered, his anticipation growing even stronger. He turned to look at the Golden Leaf Vine God-given Seed rooted in the distance and questioned, "Jin, why did you bring the Golden Leaf Vine God-given Seed here again?"

Jin replied, "The Golden Leaf Vine was also curious about the divinely bestowed seed of pokeweed, so it came to take a look."

"Does this vine really like to join in the fun?" Lord West Serpent questioned. "Will this Golden Leaf Vine ever flower and bear fruit properly?"

"Of course!"

Jin solemnly assured, "Absolutely no problem! Compared to the Divine Seed of Pokeweed, the Golden Leaf Vine consumes far fewer raw stones. After evolving to a higher level, the cost of flowering and fruiting will definitely not be as terrifying as that of the Divine Seed of Pokeweed."

"I'm now more optimistic about the Golden Leaf Vine's Divine Gift Seed..."

Lord West Serpent pondered for a moment and then said, "In that case, I'll add another 45 primal stones to the Golden Leaf Vine, bringing the total to 50. That should be enough, right?"

"That's enough, that should be enough."

Jin Xinxi said with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you very much, Lord West Serpent!"

"Stop trying to fool me."

"The fruit you produced is worthless, and it made me lose money. Believe me or not, I'll burn you all to ashes with one breath of fire."

The West Serpent Lord impatiently waved his claws and said, "Prepare more raw stones. Silk Sunflower, Red Cone, and find a few spiders from Purple Sandalwood Peak to help me move them from Serpent Mountain. Move 45 over to stockpile them first."

...

Zitan Peak dispatched four Flame Spider Warriors of the Mountain Lord level to help, making two trips to move 450,000 raw stones, which were then piled into five small mountains of raw stones next to the water channel.

It’s April 12th.

The fruits of the divinely bestowed Feathered Jaw Tree on Crimson Peak are about to ripen and be harvested.

The master of Red Cone Mountain, along with Jin, set off urgently towards Crimson Peak.

PS: I'll resume the normal two-chapter update schedule, and I'll add more later depending on the situation.
