Dawn Spider

Chapter 164 I will stand with you through thick and thin, and advance and retreat together.
After bidding farewell to Lord Wild Indigo Mountain and Elephant Pu, they continued their visits along the Sea Lemon Mountain Range, promoting the Credit Currency and inquiring about purchasing Force Food Storage Boxes.

We wandered around, stopping and starting, before finally returning to Mount Sikui.

...

November 29st

On Ivory Island and Mount Suoyu, the fruits of the seeds bestowed by the Water and Wood Gods ripen and are harvested.

Lord Tongmu and Lord Famu were good friends and had given prior notice. Dafeng went alone, obtained the fruit, and sped to transport it to Silk Sunflower Mountain.

Yin calculated the time and waited on the mountain to process the food promptly.

The strong wind transported back the divinely bestowed wood-type divine power food, which was exchanged by the wood lord for gold and was worth 2.6 primal stones.

Finally, I made one last trip to Sikui Mountain to report to Jin and confirm that the transaction was successfully completed.

...

November 4st

In the Polei Grand Canyon, the weeping cherry trees of Huangying Mountain, blessed by the gods, are ripe for harvest.

Similarly, Jin had given prior notice, and Dafeng went alone to retrieve the fruit and transport it over.

Silver processing.

Transportation in strong winds.

...

Jin lay peacefully on a mound of earth beneath the golden vine seed that had taken root, taking a break and using the original crystals at a faster pace to accelerate meditation and enhance his spatial abilities.

The resources needed to evolve into a level 4 advanced warrior have been obtained, but Jin has temporarily changed his mind.

The original growth plan included a divinely bestowed food containing 1 Primogems to enhance lightning-type abilities.

Jin decided to cut this part and instead use 20 primal crystals to accelerate meditation.

In other words, during the 3rd stage, a total of 40 Primal Crystals were used, equivalent to 40 Primal Stones. The 5% meditation conversion rate is equivalent to the spatial enhancement of Divine Force Food worth 2 Primal Stones.

Jin's idea was simple: a 3-year-old advanced warrior evolving into a 4-year-old is also a minor breakthrough, and theoretically, there is a probability of gaining comprehension ability.

Even advanced warriors at age 6 who evolve into age 7 have a very small chance of gaining the ability to comprehend.

Focus your efforts on strengthening your spatial abilities; if you happen to comprehend a spatial skill, you'll be rolling in it.

Of course, the probability of success is infinitely close to zero.

As a race of nature gods with extraordinary talent, one can have some unrealistic fantasies, and even if one fails to comprehend them, one will not lose out.

Jin adjusted the growth plan for the entire advanced warrior stage.

Do not enhance Thunder-type abilities before age 7.

In addition to the necessary enhancement of overall physique and perception, use Primal Stones to accelerate as much as possible and strengthen the spatial system.

As for the Primogems needed to accelerate meditation, there are currently three ways to obtain them:

Article 1, Lending
Secondly, underground ruins might be a possibility.

Article 3, Borrowing

There is a small problem with this plan: the advanced warrior stage requires challenging and defeating the eighteen-year-old Yagura Progenitor of the Human Race Dojo.

Therefore, if a child cannot comprehend powerful spatial attack abilities at the 4th and 7th ages, the 7th age child needs to focus on strengthening lightning-type power, specifically 'Fission Purple Lightning', and can only challenge the Yagura Progenitor at least at the 8th age.

...

...

The sea lemon blossoms have faded.

Jin traveled to Purple Sandalwood Mountain to meet with Lord Famu. Together they went to Shark Harbor, boarded a cargo ship, and set off to begin a new year of trade.

Ivory Island, Blue Shark Harbour.

After bidding farewell to Lord Jin and his elders, including Lord Famu and Lord Yunxun, Jin disembarked and stepped onto land. At that moment, a strong wind that had been swirling in the sky descended vertically and came crashing down upon him.

"Jin, the King of Curcuma zedoaria and the King of Shizi insects are looking for you."

"Is the excavation team organized?"

"Alright, we've started digging."

"Big Wind, have you gone to see it?"

"I went over to scout the area."

"How many insects? What evolutionary level?"

"Still 20 Zerg warriors. The Meridian Lord of the Combhorn Longhorn Beetle tribe of Wuchao Mountain, and a new lord of the Two-Colored Cockroach tribe of Ebony Mountain. Then, the rest are all mountain lord-level warriors from different tribes, who possess different earth or water-based abilities."

The lineup configuration that I mentioned before.

"You're doing what I told you, exploring south along the highway, right?"

"Yes."

"How far is it?"

"It's just the beginning. They started from site 2001 and are drilling vertically downwards every 3 kilometers or so to explore, steadily advancing southward. When I went to check on them two days ago, they had just left site 2001."

"Is it just the beginning? What do the Curcuma Insect King and the Stone Insect King want with me?"

"I do not know."

"Never mind. Let's go take a look."

...

Last time Jin chatted with the King of Curcuma, he gave it a small suggestion: to classify and number the relics of the discovered alien civilizations.

Large-scale ordinary human remains, such as the Cyathea Mountain Ruins, covering a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers, are classified as 'Level 1 Ruins' and numbered Ruins No. 1001.

The municipal-level site discovered last time, with a diameter of over 10 kilometers, is designated as a 'Level 2 site' and numbered Site No. 2001.

Smaller settlements are designated as 'Level 3 ruins', numbered 3001, 3002, etc.

All discovered ruins inhabited by alien civilizations and Force warriors, such as Lanshan Science and Technology College and Huangtanshan Ruins, are designated as the highest level '0', numbered Ruins 0001 and 0002.

A special map was created to mark all the discovered ruins, especially the surface roads, which were also accurately drawn.

This approach makes the process look much more professional and standardized, facilitates communication, and ensures that exploration and excavation proceed in an orderly manner.

...

Mountain Lord-level warriors are paid around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, but their work efficiency is far lower than that of Lord-level warriors.

All told, it has been five or six days since construction began, and they have only advanced less than 10 kilometers south from site 2001.

Greet each other when you meet.

The King of the Curcuma Insects summoned all the warriors who were working and formally introduced Jin to them, allowing Jin to get to know everyone. After a brief exchange of pleasantries,

Shi Zichong Wang got back to the main point and said, "Jin, on the way out of Ruins 2001, we found two relatively well-preserved 'metal road signs'. Eshu and I both think the characters on them contain very important information. You should take a look too, and we'll discuss it."

"it is good!"

Without further ado, Jin agreed immediately.

Led by the Stone Insect King, they rushed to a vertically downward exploration cave outside Ruins No. 2001.

A tunnel with a diameter of 3 meters was dug deep into the underground road, and then dug horizontally along the road for about 700 or 800 meters to the north.

A wide road surface after simple excavation and clearing.
A fairly intact road sign is displayed on the road leading into the city, with two lines of text:
【*Shanghai】

Arashiyama Industrial College

[Right turn prompt arrow]

Arashiyama Industrial College is the same Class 0 relic that was excavated last year.

Looking at the road next door heading out of the city, there was also a relatively well-preserved road sign:

AS City

*17 km

[Kuroki**Wu**]

...

"Could it be the 'Blackwood Mountain Martial Arts Academy'?"

A glint flashed in the golden spider's eyes.

Both the Curcuma zedoaria king and the Shizi worm king were watching Jin's reaction closely.

The Stone Insect King immediately inquired:
"Jin, how's it going?"

“King of the Eshu Insects, after you suggested that I use the divinely bestowed primal energy food as a share, I have carefully considered it after returning home. I think I should still invest a share. I want to share the hardships and advance together with everyone.”

"???"

"Buy shares?"

"Is there potential?"

"Little Spider, what does this metal plaque say? Are there ruins?"

"This one……"

Jin asked, "Shall I take a share?"

The King of the Curculigo Insects said unhappily, "Little spider, don't try to play tricks on me. Tell me about the current situation. Is there a level 0 ruin?"

Jin insisted, "I'll take one share! I'm not greedy, I'll just take 10%."

King of Curcuma: "You go first!"

Jin: "I'll invest first!"

"..."

After a two-second standoff,
Jin volunteered, "The cost of God-given Force food for 20 Zerg warriors is about 25 per year, right? If we calculate it at 10%, that's 2.5? I won't take advantage of you. I'll provide God-given Force food worth 3 Origin Stones each year. If it's successful, I'll only take 10% of the profits."

Led by the kings of Curcuma zedoaria and Ziziphus spp., the swarm of insects became excited and agitated.

"You cunning little spider, are you convinced that if you keep going down this path, you'll definitely find a level 0 relic?"

"Unsure. I don't know."

"..."

The Stone Insect King waved its enormous, antler-like antennae and said, "Alright, Jin, it's up to you. You'll provide 3 Primal Stones worth of God-given Primal Force food every year and take 10% of the harvest."

"it is good!"

"The Stone Insect King is still the most straightforward!"

Jin drew out six strands of spider silk from its abdomen, its forelegs and chelicerae flashing in afterimages. Under the puzzled gazes of the other insects, it quickly wove together three 10000-denomination coins with a semi-transparent white base and blue-purple graphic characters from the spider silk.

Jin said briefly: "Every year during the Thousand-Layer Flower trading season, any insect can take this scroll to the Five Schools Spider King in Shark Harbor and exchange it for God-given Force food needed for evolution and growth, worth 1 Primogems."

"A face value of 1 raw stones, three of them would be 3 raw stones."

"..."

Does this work too?
Can it work?
This little spider has so many tricks up its sleeve!

No insects are willing to accept it.

The King of the Eshu Insects waved its claws and said, "Don't do that. Little Spider, don't make things so complicated. We'll calculate and distribute salaries at the end of the year. Just bring the divinely bestowed food then."

The Stone Insect King said, "Everyone can be a witness. You've invested, so you'll get 10% of the profits. Okay, tell me what you've discovered."

"Explain in more detail!"

"Everyone, look at this character..."

Golden Claw extended a spider silk, circling the character "市" (city) in "AS City" on the road sign.

"There's a similar character on the metal plaque opposite us. We saw this character once before in the 2001 Ruins, didn't we?"

"In alien civilizations, this character seems to intuitively represent a settlement of an ordinary alien race, and a very large one at that."

"The distance is also noted below the characters, three numerical characters, one is missing... It should be 117 kilometers, right? Could it be 217 kilometers? It's unlikely to be 217 kilometers. The distance is too far, so marking it out wouldn't make much sense."

"This clearly shows that, following this road for about 117 kilometers, there is another settlement of a different ethnic group, which is of similar size to the site of site 2001. We can number and name it in advance, and in sequence, we can call it site '2002'."

Jin raised his claw and pointed, causing the spider silk to shift and encircle the characters 【Blackwood**Martial**】, solemnly saying:

"This string of characters is likely indicating that this path leads to the ruins of a Force warrior settlement. It's very important! Otherwise, it wouldn't be marked so soon after leaving the settlement."

"Um--"

"That's right!"

"That makes some sense!"

The King of Curcuma zedoaria and the King of Ziziphus spp. deeply agreed.

The Curcuma Insect King raised its antennae and said excitedly, "The Stone Insect King and I also analyzed it this way. Purple-haired Gold, now that you say so too, it means that everyone has reached a consensus and confirmed that if we continue along this path, we will definitely be able to dig up a 'Level 0' relic!"

"I can't say for sure..."

Jin said, "There's a very good chance we can dig it up!"

The Stone Insect King was equally energetic and urged, "Then let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up and dig!"
