Dawn Spider

Chapter 194 Kingdom Development Fund
"Tell me your ideas! Let's see who dares to hit you!"

The Five Schools Spider King raised its claws and waved them to drive away the Flame Spider Warriors surrounding it.

Jin took two steps back and said, "The fact that the Spider King can evolve into a Spider King means that the Spider King is relatively wealthy, or that the mountain it lives on is relatively wealthy. We can set a rule that the Spider King should take out the profits from the Divine Seed of Destiny for three to five years and put them into the kingdom's treasury as a development fund for the kingdom."

"The kingdom will then use these funds to issue interest-bearing loans or purchase bonds..."

Boom! Boom!
The Spider King of the Five Schools slammed its claws against the golden head, angrily shouting, "What a terrible idea! Who told the Spider King that he's rich? Aren't I poor?"

Lord Famu pinned Jin down with one claw and scolded, "You always have so many ideas! Do you think it's so easy for you to become the Evolution Spider King?"

"You little spider, you're even using that loan-taking trick on the Spider King."

The Mountain Fern Lord, who was also planning to break through to become the Spider King, charged forward with all his might, raising his claws to strike.

"stop!"

Jin quickly called for a halt, "It was just a suggestion, everyone please don't get agitated!"

"..."

Jin Youyou said, "The management of Haimeng Peak Forest has encountered difficulties. Everyone is very enthusiastic and has come up with various solutions, but not a single spider is willing to invest or make any contributions. Even the most capable Spider King is unwilling. So what are you talking about? In the end, building a nest in the clouds is just empty talk."

Spider immediately retorted, clearly annoyed.

"You little spider, you've made quite a bit of money over the years."

"I heard you made a fortune digging up ancient ruins?"

"Purple Hair, shouldn't you make some contributions to the tribe?"

"no!"

Jin retorted, stating confidently, "I am a minor and have no such obligation."

One of the spiders retorted, "You're a minor, but you earn a lot! When it comes to matters of tribal development, age doesn't matter; only ability and income matter."

"Yes!"

Jin said, "In terms of ability and income, the Spider King should have priority!"

"..."

The Spider King of the Five Schools said angrily, "Purple-haired Gold, you've been running around Ivory Island for a few years, and you've become quite capable, haven't you? You don't even respect the Spider King anymore."

"How can you say you don't take us seriously? Didn't I make it very clear that your Spider King is powerful and earns a high income..."

Jin stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, then changed the subject and said quietly, "Intelligent life is inherently selfish, which is normal and understandable. Everyone, please be more relaxed and don't get angry because of a few words I said."

Lord Famu frankly stated, "The resources produced by the Famu Divine Seed for my evolution into the Spider King will first be used to help the Palm Bamboo and Famu Lords evolve. Secondly, for the other members of Purple Sandalwood Peak, such as the Red Cone Mountain Lord, who have little future, I may also need to consider providing them with some resources, and if possible, help them evolve into Lords. Finally, after becoming a Spider King, I want to continue evolving to a higher level. Even as a Spider King, the resources are still insufficient; divinely bestowed resources will never be enough."

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

The Spider King of the Five Schools sighed, "That's right, divine resources are never enough. Although I've given up on further evolution, there's still a large group of little spiders below me. Who should I let evolve? And who should I abandon? This is a life-or-death decision."

Jin summarized, "Everyone has surplus resources, but they are all used to support their direct descendants, so there are no resources left for the development of the tribe."

Lord Shanlu said, "Aren't our juniors also warriors of the Flame Spider tribe?"

Jin asked, "Should the Haimeng Peak Forest continue to be managed? Should we continue to cultivate the wild, divinely bestowed species?"

"Looking at it this way, it really isn't necessary~"

"Maintaining the status quo is fine. If the salary for managing Haimengfeng Forest is reduced to a certain level, the number of soldiers signing up will inevitably decrease."

"Let's just let things take their course."

"Let's just wait it out."

"The existing wild, divinely bestowed seeds have all matured into tree kings, so the situation has naturally improved."

"..."

"No! Little Purple Hair, you've led everyone astray!"

The Spider King of the Five Schools was furious and said, "My proposal to expand the Sea Lemon Peak Forest is fundamentally aimed at increasing the salaries of the participating warriors and increasing the income of divine resources for those warriors who do not have the Divine Seed."

One of the Flame Spider Warriors muttered, "Divine resources don't just appear out of thin air. If even the Spider King isn't willing to contribute resources, the other spiders are even less willing. What else can we do?"

"There's no way. It's hopeless. Give up."

"Let's change the subject."

"The weather is so nice today, why don't we chat about something cheerful?"

"Purple-haired Gold, I heard they unearthed a foreign ruin on Ivory Island that's about the same size as the Cyathea Mountain? Are you digging for it too?"

"Wasn't I kicked out of the Insect King's team a long time ago?"

"Um--"

"Haha."

"That sounds really nice."

"Don't you understand the characters of other civilizations? Find the other insects to help. You can guide them."

"We've looked. I've assembled a small team and we're digging. We haven't found anything yet."

"Ouch!"

"Little brat! Not bad! You've got some skills!"

"You actually assembled an excavation team?"

"What kind of soldiers are there? If we manage to dig one up, how will the loot be distributed? Tell us, and we'll help you analyze it."

"..."

Upon hearing that warriors from the Ctenopharynx and the Great Venomous Armor tribe had been assembled, the spiders were puzzled and skeptical. But when they learned that the excavation site was a spoils of the three great insect kings, the spiders clapped their hands in admiration.

This is a case of killing the insect and striking at the heart! The little spider is more experienced and ruthless in handling things than many old spiders.

The spiders who were going to the southern continent for trade had not all arrived yet, so they gathered at the dock to chat and inquire in detail about the excavation of the ruins.

The Spider King of the Five Schools silently left.

In the afternoon, it came over with the Worry-Free Spider King, the Oak Spider King, the Thousand Claw Spider King, and the newly promoted Flame Camphor Spider King.

"Jin, come here for a second!"

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King called out, "Famuk, Mountain Fern, Spear Palm, Red Pomelo, you all come here too."

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King is the oldest and most prestigious spider in the Flame Spider Kingdom.

His exact age is unknown.
However, the Ancient Hook Spider King is a direct descendant of the Thousand Claw Spider King. The Ancient Hook Spider King is currently an 8-year-old peak spider king, the number one combat force in the Flame Spider Kingdom, and is stationed on Red Firefly Island to guard the kingdom's raw stone mine.

The spiders that were called out quickly stepped forward.

The unrelated insects were even more eager, rushing ahead to surround the Thousand-Clawed Spider King and his group, asking one after another: What's going on? What's going on? What's the matter?

"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!"

The Spider King of the Five Schools rebuked, saying, "Jin, regarding the issue of the Sea Lemon Peak Forest, I have just given it serious consideration and discussed it with the Thousand Claw Spider King. We all feel that your suggestion is the most feasible to solve the problem of the Sea Lemon Peak Forest."

"But the problem is, we spider kings have gathered divinely bestowed resources, do you have the ability to lend them out and collect the principal and interest?"

"can……"

Jin said, "Actually, there is an even better way."

The Wood Spider King and the Carefree Spider King were clearly dragged over by force, and made no attempt to hide their unwillingness.

The Wood Spider King angrily rebuked, "You're just a spider in your teens, where do you get so many bad ideas? After Famu broke through to evolve into a Spider King, he even planned to allocate some resources to help your elder, Silk Sunflower, accelerate her evolution into a Lord. You've already donated all the resources, what else can you use to help? Aren't you just screwing over both of your elders?"

"Forehead……"

Jin was speechless. The spiders of his own lineage were the most opposed to his proposal.
"Kashiki!"

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King chuckled softly, and with a single glance, the furious Kashiwa Spider King quieted down.

"Jin, please continue."

"Ok."

Jin said, "The Spider Kings will jointly contribute funds and resources to establish a Kingdom Development Fund. The resources within this fund can be lent preferentially and at low interest rates to Flame Spider Warriors who have met the requirements for breaking through to become an Evolutionary Insect King, for example..."

Jin raised his claws and pointed to the four lords who had been called over: Famu, Shanluo, Maolu, and Chiyou. They were all potential spiders who had comprehended six powerful abilities and met the core conditions for breaking through to become the Insect King.

"For a Lord to evolve into a Spider King, correspondingly, a God-given Seed would increase profits by hundreds of thousands per year, right?"

"Low interest means an annualized interest rate of 1% to 2%. If you borrow 1000 million, you will have to pay tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan in interest every year. But if you break through to the Spider King a year earlier, the extra hundreds of thousands of divine resources you will generate will be enough to pay off several years' worth of interest."

"Overall, it's definitely profitable, right? And the Tribal Development Fund, although it only earns a low interest rate of 1% to 2%, has a large volume, so the income is quite considerable."

"Currently, there are quite a few lords in our Flame Spider Kingdom who need resources to break through and evolve into Spider Kings. They need to borrow a lot of resources, and we don't have to worry about not being able to lend them out. We also don't have to worry about not being able to get the loans back from within the kingdom."

"Then, after the newly crowned Spider King has paid off the loan, he will need to allocate resources for three to five years to the Kingdom Development Fund."

"As for whether it is 3 years or 5 years, it can be handled according to income level."

"After reaching the King level, the annual output of the Divinely Bestowed Seed is less than 50... This income is too low, so it is recommended to eliminate it directly."

“命种神赐之种年产出50万至80万的，拿出3年的收入，纳入王国发展基金；产出在80万至120万，递增为5年；超过120万的，增加为10年。”

"There are only 6 Spider Kings now. According to these rules, the resources contributed to the Kingdom Development Fund are not much. The resources required for a Lord to evolve into a Spider King are in the tens of millions. There are quite a few Lords who urgently need resources to evolve and break through. Who should we give the loan to? That is another problem."

"The solution is simple: whoever produces the highest yield from their Divine Seed of Destiny will be given priority."

"Following this method, after a certain period of time, the capital accumulated by the Kingdom Development Fund will exceed the needs of Kingdom Lord-level warriors to break through to Spider King. The excess can be used to purchase bonds, and we can also consider supporting those potential Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider warriors with low-interest loans."

"With too many Spider Kings, the tribe doesn't have enough affairs to manage. We can appoint a smart Spider King to be in charge of the management and operation of the kingdom's development fund, which can also solve the employment problem for a Spider King."

Jin concluded by saying, "Interest income from loans and bonds will be included in the kingdom's revenue and used for the expansion and development of the Haimeng Peak Forest."

"..."

"This approach doesn't sound so bad."

"This little spider really has one trick after another."

"Since it's all for the development of the race, concentrating resources on cultivating the Spider King is indeed a good choice."

"Is the Spider King contributing too few resources? Three or five years isn't enough. I suggest starting with five years."

The four lords who had previously opposed the idea—Famu, Shanluo, Maolu, and Chiyou—were the first to express their strong support and proposed to increase the stakes for the Spider King.

"There's also the interest rate issue..."

“We are all of the same kind, it’s not appropriate to charge too high an interest rate.”

"1% is just fine."

"A token gesture is fine."

The four lords, Famu, Shanluo, Maolu, and Chiyou, gradually became active.

Worry-free, the Oak Tree, and the Flame Camphor Spider King glared angrily.

"Quiet!"

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King raised its claws to indicate, and said, "Jin's method is feasible, but the specific details need to be discussed. Flame Camphor, you should set off now to Red Firefly Island and inform Gu Gou to return to Sea Lemon Peak."
