Dawn Spider

Chapter 135 The Black Oak Seed Blossoms

Silky Mountain.

Plot No. 02, where the golden vine, a gift from the gods, has taken root.

The spiders stood on a mound 50 meters away, watching.

"17 years... 17 years..."

Lord West Serpent murmured and sighed, "Nature emphasizes the balance of all things. The true god of nature is fair. He endowed the Golden Leaf Vine fruit with heaven-defying effects, but strictly limited its production."

"Seventeen years? How many seventeen-year periods does a spider have in its life? Purple-haired Golden, your golden-leaved vine won't produce many fruits in total!"

Jin said, "As my evolution level and that of the Golden Leaf Vine increase, the flowering and fruiting cycle will continue to shorten."

"That wouldn't exceed one hundred fruits..."

Lord West Serpent said casually, then changed the subject, asking, "How's the consumption of raw stones?"

"Not much raw stone was consumed."

Jin replied, "It will require six more fruit expansions, each costing approximately 30,000 to 40,000 Origin Stones. As for daily expenses, we haven't had time to test them yet. The fog tide has just passed, and the Origin Force concentration has been artificially high recently, making it difficult to test. But according to my estimate, the annual cost will not exceed 50,000 Origin Stones."

"Low daily expenses and high fruit value. The Golden Leaf Vine, a divine gift, can bring you extremely rich profits."

Lord West Serpent commented, somewhat perplexed, his mind racing, and asked, "What did we agree on last time? The first fruit produced by the Golden Leaf Vine would belong to me?"

"no!"

Yin instantly saw through the West Serpent Lord's intentions and reacted fiercely, saying, "Our agreement is that my fourth brother and I will eat the fruits produced by the Golden Leaf Vine and the God-given Seed of Pokeweed first! The second one will go to the West Serpent Lord."

Jin politely reminded him, "Lord West Serpent, you specifically emphasized this matter back then."

The master of Red Cone Mountain raised his hand and said, "I was there at the time, and I can testify to that!"

Lord Sikui said, "To be fair, we should eat first. Once we've determined the fruit's effects, Lord Xishe can decide how to dispose of it."

"..."

Lord West Serpent's head throbbed. He couldn't understand what he was thinking, why he had made such a foolish request.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to confirm this. Please don't get agitated."

Lord West Serpent waved his claws and said dejectedly, "Then my breakthrough to the King level may be delayed by more than ten or even twenty years."

Lord Sikui asked, "If I awaken my water-type talent first, will I have a chance to comprehend a water-type ability when I break through to the King level?"

"That's right!"

At this point, the Western Serpent Lord's tone shifted, and he couldn't hide his joy, saying:

"The fire-based abilities I've comprehended are primarily based on biomimicry. In particular, my 'Black Serpent' ability has a certain compatibility and affinity with water-based abilities. With the combination of water and fire, and the fusion of ice and fire, my abilities will reach an even greater level!"

"Congratulations, Lord West Serpent!"

"The Lord of the Western Serpent is amazing!"

"..."

The spiders offered perfunctory flattery.

The West Serpent Lord spoke in a teaching tone, earnestly saying, "You spiders all have the idea of ​​using the Golden Leaf Vine Fruit, don't you?"

"Adding a single water-based talent or several water-based abilities has limited, even useless, effect, or even negative consequences. It's essential to combine, fuse, and integrate these two forces."

"I suggest you make more use of fire-based biomimetic divine-given food and spend more time and effort comprehending fire-based biomimetic power. This is the simplest way to achieve the fusion of water and fire."

"clear."

"understood."

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord West Serpent!"

"Lord West Serpent is a good elder!"

"..."

The spiders gave their thanks.

The West Serpent Lord waved his claws, turned around, looked at Plot 01, and said with some despair, "The flowering and fruiting cycle of the Golden Leaf Vine is as long as 17 years. I'm afraid the flowering and fruiting cycle of the Divine Gift Seed of Pokeweed will be an extremely long time!"

Yin quickly added, "According to the prediction of the Golden Leaf Vine, the flowering and fruiting cycle of the God-given Pokeweed Seed may be as long as 70 years."

"..."

Lord West Serpent choked, pondered for a long time, and said, "Jin, I won't take advantage of you, but I can't be at a disadvantage either. I definitely have to buy a Golden Leaf Vine Fruit to try. If it can truly grant you water elemental talent, I'll give you 500 million Primogems!"

"As for the pokeweed fruit, let's forget about it for now. The first fruit takes 70 years to grow, and the second one will be 140 years from now?"

"I'm too old to afford this. You venture capitalists not only want the raw gems, but also my life."

Jin said awkwardly, "It's not that bad... even at the Spider King level, it can be used."

"Let's talk about it after the Spider King."

Lord West Serpent was still somewhat tempted.

If the fruit of the seemingly ordinary Golden Leaf Vine is this extraordinary, then the fruit of the Divine Gift Seed of Pokeweed must be even more divine.
Lord West Serpent said without room for argument, "I'm only temporarily refraining from casting the Seed of the God of the Pokeweed, but I have cast it before. In the future, if the first fruit yields the power I desire, then I will continue casting, and I will eat the second fruit!"

gold:"……"

Jin pointed out, "Lord West Serpent, once you know the effects, it's no longer an investment, it's a purchase."

Lord West Serpent was displeased and retorted, "What was the price we agreed on for the Golden Leaf Vine Fruit? 50! Now that you know the effects of the Golden Leaf Vine Fruit, didn't I increase it to 500 million?"

"Yes……"

Jin had nothing to say.

Lord West Serpent asked, "Gold, how many raw stones have I paid you?"

Jin replied, "It's a round number, one million."

Lord West Serpent said, "Still 400 million short? Then for the next 20 years, I'll give you 20 primal stones every year. That amount is just enough for the daily consumption of the Golden Leaf Vine and the God-given Seed of Pokeweed, right?"

Jin replied, "That's enough."

Lord West Serpent said, "You can borrow the raw stones for the fruit expansion stage from the King of the Wood Spider yourselves. He has agreed."

"no problem!"

Jin agreed sincerely, saying, "Thank you, Lord West Serpent!"

The Western Serpent Lord calmly waved his claws.

In fact, Lord West Serpent was even happier than Lords Gold, Silver, and Silk Sunflower.

Spiders kept gossiping behind his back, saying that he had been terribly tricked by two little spiders, and that all the raw stones he had saved to break through to the Spider King had been swindled away... The West Serpent Lord also began to suspect that he had fallen into a trap.

Now things are great, I can finally hold my head high.

Hehe, if word gets out, those gossipy, stupid spiders will be green with envy!

Lord West Serpent thought for a moment, then suddenly realized the problem and sternly warned, "Gold, Silver, Silk Sunflower, you guys be smart. Don't spread the news about the Golden Leaf Vine Fruit everywhere. Otherwise, you can imagine the consequences: swarms of insects will come looking for you, and there will be endless trouble."

"clear."

"know."

"Of course we understand."

"Crash! Crash!"

Gold, Silver, Silk Sunflower Mountain Master, and Taro all responded in unison.

...

...

early morning,

Jin gets up early every day, leading taro to release the growth potential of the god-given seeds of pokeweed and replenish their original energy.

"Fourth brother!"

"Fourth brother!"

Silver ran over excitedly, "The Black Oak God-given Seed is going to bloom ahead of schedule!"

Jin paused for a moment, then asked, "A month in advance?"

Silver replied, "Yes!"

Is the impact of the fog and high humidity really that severe?

Jin Xin muttered to himself, but given the precedent of golden vines flowering and bearing fruit ahead of schedule, it wasn't surprising. He waved his paw and said, "Let's go take a look!"

The black oak seed, a gift from God, has grown into a tree over forty meters tall.

The taro's growth potential, combined with the water-based granular fertilizer that comes with the food processing, results in thick branches and leaves, making it lush and abundant.

Silver never hesitates to use raw gems to replenish its energy, and its overall condition is excellent.

The flower spikes grow overnight, each spike with a single flower, while the buds are just beginning to form.

Jin's spiritual energy swept across the area.

The Black Oak Seed's spiritual power immediately locked onto it, emitting intense anger and intimidation.

"639 flowers."

Jin's spiritual energy swept over the tree quickly, then withdrew just as quickly. He took a few steps back symbolically and praised, "Very good. In terms of yield alone, among the divinely bestowed seeds, the black oak tree is definitely a bumper crop."

"Yes!"

Yin was overjoyed and asked hopefully, "Fourth Brother, can we keep the flowers and fruit this year?"

"Can……"

Jin pondered for a moment and said, "It has just evolved to a higher level and is in a period of rapid growth. We should focus on nurturing the tree first. Keep 500 fruits and pay attention to its daily management. Don't put any pressure on the plant. If necessary, thin out the fruits."

"understand!"

Yin Kengqiang agreed, saying, "Shall I go and inform Lord Sikui?"

"You handle this first."

Jin raised his claw to stop him, saying, "I'll go find Lord Sikui."

...

In just one day,
The flower buds of the Black Oak God-given Seed have grown.

Brewing overnight,
The next morning, off-white flowers bloomed.

Another day has passed.
Flowers wither and fruit ripens.

The next stage is the year-long fruit growth and development period.

"Fourth Brother, you're an expert in transaction pricing, can you now appraise the value of the God-given Black Acorn?"

"Does not."

"It needs to be harvested only after the fruit is ripe?"

"nonsense!"

"Then... can you give me a rough estimate? I'll feel more at ease if I have a general idea in mind."

"Approximately? The price is about four, five, or six rough stones per stone."

"..."

I took a middle value for silver, calculating the price per unit of 5 rough stones, and was slightly disappointed.

500 fruits, each worth 5 raw stones, so this year's yield is only 2500 raw stones...

Seeing this, Jin suggested, "The yield of ordinary God-given seeds depends primarily on the production volume. Oak trees are large trees, and black oak God-given seeds are very productive. After two more years of growth, once the trees are fully grown, the annual production should reach 1200 to 1500 seeds."

Annual production of 1500? Yin Yi did the math, and her mood instantly brightened.

...

The yield of a regular God-given seed depends primarily on three factors: yield, enhancement type, and quality.

Black oak, a divinely bestowed variety, is abundant in yield; this is the primary factor for evaluation.

As for the type of enhancement...

Based on their inherent energy characteristics, the inherent energy of water systems can be broadly categorized into four types: ice and frost state, cloud and fog state, flowing water state, and life state.

The Black Oak Seed's primal energy properties belong to the Living Water category, leaning towards offensive nature, which is fairly average.

In terms of enhancement type, the Black Oak Divine Seed belongs to the mid-tier level.

It is not possible to determine the quality at this time, but the divine fruits produced by large trees are usually of high quality.

In terms of profitability alone, Black Oak's Divine Seed excels in all three indicators, placing it in the upper-middle tier.
