Dawn Spider

Chapter 169 The Lord of Sikui Mountain Takes Priority
Partridge Mountain, the golden-leaf nanmu tree, a divine gift, has ripened and was harvested. Due to strong winds, it was urgently dispatched to Silky Mountain for processing.

Jin remained under the tree, multitasking. On one hand, he manipulated the spider silk rapidly in front of the black metal box, and on the other hand, he chatted idly with a large group of heavily armored warriors.

Find an opportunity to introduce your 'credit currency' to them, explain the rules of use, and describe in detail the various conveniences of the 'currency'.

Since there is no stable and reliable place to exchange currency on Ivory Island, it cannot be issued on Ivory Island for the time being, but we can do a preliminary promotion first.

The giant venomous armored warriors were skeptical of the token currency, but due to the majesty of the Cursed Insect King, they dared not voice their objections and simply echoed his approval. Of course, they couldn't possibly actually exchange divinely bestowed primal force food for a so-called 'token currency' woven from spider silk…

At noon,
The strong winds returned, and the transaction was completed.

After leaving Partridge Mountain and traveling some distance, Da Feng flew alongside the golden body, suppressing his mental energy, and said:
"Jin, there's important news from Mount Sikui: your Golden Leaf Vine fruit has expanded for the second time."

"Finally, the fruit is swelling for the second time? How big is the fruit now?"

"The fruit is nearly 4 centimeters long. It is still translucent, and the number of Force patterns inside has increased, allowing it to absorb natural Force at a faster rate."

"What about the raw gem consumption?"

"Is it the fruit-expanding stage? I heard from Yin that it cost over 30,000 raw stones!"

There are only over 30,000 rough stones.

Compared to the astronomical price of 500 million for the fruit of the Golden Leaf Vine, this expense is negligible.

Jin repeatedly instructed Dafeng to keep it a secret and absolutely not to publicize the matter of the Golden Leaf Vine.

Eager to return home, they urged each other to hurry towards Qingsha Port.

After wandering around the port's trading square for two days, the cargo ships that had been heading to the southern continent for trade returned, and they boarded the ship to go home.

...

...

Shark Harbour.

"Fourth brother!"

"Gale!"

"gold!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain brought Silver along as well, and they waited together at the dock, where he used his spiritual power to shout from afar.

The cargo ship docked, and the sixty Flame Spider Warriors began their work, unloading and loading cargo.

"Gold! Strong wind!"

"Fourth brother!"

"The Worry-Free Spider King! The Ficus Tree Spider King! Lord Famu! Lord Shanluo..."

After a greeting,

Gold, strong wind, red cone, and silver together, stay far away, hide on a distant hill to talk.

"Fourth Brother, the Golden Leaf Vine has swelled with fruit."

"I see."

"Have we unearthed another ancient site?"

"Nonsense! Weren't all the items sent back to Silk Sunflower Mountain?"

"They're all empty boxes, and we can't open them."

"The boxes containing the original crystals were all taken by the Stone Insect King. After they were opened, they were distributed. This time I can get 260 crystals, which is quite a windfall."

"The empty Primal Crystal storage box I returned can be opened and used to store valuables. As for the 172 treasure chests containing Primal Force food, they have 11 digits of passwords with 1000 billion possible combinations. You definitely can't solve them yourself. I have a way, I'll talk about it later."

"Let's get down to business first."

Jin removed a small spider silk pouch from its carapace, opened it, and inside was a stack of spider silk scrolls embroidered with patterns and characters.

—ledger

Unfolding the document, there are 12 sheets in total. Jin has simply recorded the transaction accounts of Borneo Island last year by month.

The expense report was submitted, and the head of Hongzhui Mountain verified and confirmed it.

Using the Credit Currency makes transactions much simpler. Zerg warriors who cooperate in the transaction can simply use the Credit Currency to exchange for the Force Food they need from the Spider Kings of the Five Schools. Now, there's no need to painstakingly remember which mountain, which warrior, and which Force Food they need.

Now, each Divine Seed only needs to record two pieces of data: first, the value of the Divine Gene Agent produced through cooperative processing of the peel and pulp; second, the quantity and estimated value of the Divine Force Food in the form of the seeds extracted.

Some divinely bestowed seeds, over time, grow in size and increase in fruit yield year after year.

The output varies from year to year, but as long as it doesn't break through a major barrier, there won't be any major changes.

Having traded for so many years, Jin knew exactly what was going on and quickly checked the accounts; there were no problems.

At last,
Jin put away the bill and asked, "Yin, how many credit notes were issued last year?"

Silver replied, "3674900 rough stones!"

Yin then gave a detailed report: "During the transaction, the change and adjustments cost over 1800 Origin Stones worth of miscellaneous Divine Force Food." "The Divine Force Food produced through the cooperative processing is valued at 268400 Origin Stones and is stored in the Silk Sunflower Mountain warehouse."

"The estimated value of the acquired grain seeds and divine-given primal force food is 3664000 primal stones. As per your instructions, Fourth Brother, the total amount will be calculated every three months and divided into four batches, all of which will be handed over to the Spider King of the Five Schools."

"very good!"

Jin put away the ledgers from the Twin Islands of Saluo, then took out a spider silk bag, opened it, and took out a stack of spider silk rolled into a tube. Unrolling it, there were 12 sheets, the transaction ledgers from Ivory Island, recorded monthly.

The deal on Ivory Island was more complicated.

The bills for April, May, June, October, and November are densely covered with blue and purple graphic characters.

All the Zerg warriors pre-ordered the God-given Force foods they needed. Most Zerg warriors simply requested the general type of enhancement from the God-given Force foods. However, some Zerg warriors requested one or two specific types, or even more than ten different types of God-given Force foods.

Gold needs to be exchanged from the Spider King of the Five Schools according to their needs, and then sent over in the following year to exchange for the gene agents they process and share in.

Another point is that last year, the scale of cooperative transactions expanded rapidly. We had enough funds prepared for transaction turnover, but the variety of products was not rich enough to meet the needs of all insects.

Some soldiers were magnanimous and willing to hand over the divinely bestowed gene agent, which they had earned through cooperative processing, to Jin for unified disposal.

Some soldiers were cautious and insisted on keeping the God-given gene serum that they had processed and shared with their partners.

All of these should be recorded.

The tedious and complicated bills,
The gold and silver figures were reconciled.

After some effort, I checked everything and confirmed that there were no errors.

After some calculations, it was found that last year, the processing cooperation on Ivory Island generated 34.5 raw stones worth of divinely bestowed food.

A total of 126 divinely bestowed seeds were agreed upon, but as many as 29 of them missed the trading season.

The revenue from Ivory Island is expected to reach 45 next year, which is slightly higher than the earlier estimate.

On the Twin Islands of Saluo, due to the recent breakthrough of a Mountain Lord-level warrior to Lord-level, the Divine Seeds are in a rapid growth period, and the yield is increasing year by year. Therefore, this year's income has increased significantly, reaching 13.4.

At last,
Kim concluded:

"The total revenue from the two islands was 47.9."

“Let’s use the remainder of 9000 to pay out year-end bonuses.”

"The main salary of Hongzhui Mountain is 6, with a bonus of 3000. As agreed, 6 was lent to Xiangpu of Qianguo Mountain interest-free. You still have 3000 bonus left..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain: "..."

The Red Cone Mountain Master retorted angrily, "Thank you, you little purple-haired brat!"

"You're welcome."

Jin continued, "The Great Wind Mountain Master's salary is 6, plus a bonus of 3000. In a little while, we'll take you to find the Spider King of the Five Schools to select the divinely bestowed primal force food you need."

"Yin, your salary has also increased. Your annual salary is 4, plus a bonus of 3000. Go to the tribal warehouse and pick some yourself in a bit."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin! You're so generous!"

"Click! Click! I got a raise! Thanks, Fourth Brother!"

The wind and silver cheered.

"I plan to break through to the fourth stage of advanced warrior evolution in July this year, so I don't need any resources this year."

"On paper, we have a surplus of 31 this year. In a few days, we will be doing contract work for Lord West Serpent, which will give us another 1, for a total of 32."

"The accumulated working capital for previous transactions is 42?"

"Our accumulated assets have reached 74 raw stones. Currently, the only transaction requiring working capital is on Ivory Island, with a demand of no more than 50, which is more than we have..."

Jin said, "You can ask Xiangpu of Thousand Fruit Mountain if he wants to borrow more money when he evolves from 7 to 8 years old. The annual interest rate remains unchanged at 3%, and the preferential treatment remains unchanged. Interest will only start to accrue after he breaks through to the Mountain Lord level."

"Let's ask Lord Sikui Mountain again if it wants to borrow some resources to evolve into a lord as soon as possible?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain glared at him and asked, "Gold, you're lending it to the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain? What's the interest rate? You wouldn't even cheat your own elders, would you?"

Am I that kind of spider?

Jin Hao said confidently, "We definitely can't calculate interest with Lord Sikui Mountain, or rather, we don't have to repay it."

No need to repay?

Yin raised his hands and tentatively asked, "Fourth Brother, can I borrow some too?"

The Red Cone Mountain Lord was even more displeased and asked, "I want to borrow too! The kind that doesn't have to be repaid!"

gold:"……"

Jin said, "From a profit perspective, the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain possesses two divinely bestowed seeds. Evolving into a lord will significantly increase the profits. From a security perspective, Silk Sunflower Mountain desperately needs a powerful lord to oversee it in order to cope with the ever-shortening fog tide crisis."

"Lord of Mount Sikui, first come first!"

"Red Cone Mountain Lord, Silver, you two can forget about it. Just wait it out."
