Dawn Spider

Chapter 214 Friends and Relatives Price

Cargo ships bound for the southern continent to trade slowly docked.

The spiders on the ship noticed the army of ants gathered at the dock from a distance, as well as the black metal boxes carried on the backs of the ants.

"what!"

"An army of termites!"

"Judging from the looks of it, Little Purple Hair has unearthed a major ancient site!"

"This little guy has probably really struck it rich this time."

"The metal boxes alone can sell for a lot of raw stones."

"Could it be that we've unearthed a treasure trove of primordial crystals stored by an alien civilization?"

"No. Look closely at the ants' legs; they don't seem to be struggling at all, and the boxes are all empty."

"..."

As the cargo ship approached the port, the Kashiwa Spider King used its mental power to shout:
"Jin, come up here."

A golden figure shimmered as they boarded the ship.

"Hey!"

"It molted and evolved once?"

"The alien ability has become stronger again!"

"The maximum instantaneous teleportation distance exceeds 70 meters?"

"Little Purple Hair, you're something else!"

"This mobility is getting stronger every year. In the future, when it evolves into a Mountain Lord or Lord level, who will be able to catch you?"

"Putting everything else aside, their ability to run away is definitely number one!"

"..."

Jin's teleportation as he boarded the ship drew cheers from the insects on board.

The Kashimo Spider King followed up with, "Jin, judging from the looks of it, you've unearthed a major ancient site this year?"

Jin Qianxu said, "It's all thanks to the three old insect kings, Xumi, Eshu, and Shizi, who led the way so well! They brought everyone to a settlement of a foreign civilization with a lot of treasures. You can dig around and find good things. Many insects have made a fortune this year."

Many insects get rich?
A fortune?

The eyes of the insects on the boat gleamed.

The King Spider asked, "And you? It seems you've had a very fruitful harvest?"

"That's really generous!"

Jin Rushi said, "I received a total of super high-grade divine-given primal force food worth about 200 million, and it's all lightning-type that I can use myself. I also received about 20 of super high-grade ordinary primal force food from the comprehensive system."

"Harvested 4000 Primal Crystals. 7000 Treasure Chests containing Primal Crystals."

"In addition, we also unearthed a treasure of great practical value: the legendary 'Force Convergence Shield,' and we found six of them..."

The insects on the boat were in an uproar, discussing the matter animatedly.

"This harvest is the envy of spiders."

"Let's just stop trading in the southern continent."

"Let's dig up the ruins together with the little spider."

"I hereby announce that all transactions in the Southern Continent will be suspended for two years."

"Let's go dig up some ruins too!"

"..."

In the midst of conversation,
The cargo ship slowly entered the port, and the insects from the seven major tribes chatted for a while before unloading began.

The cargo has been unloaded.

Fire Tube directed the soldier ants to board the ship, while the original crystal storage box was unloaded directly onto the deck.

The cargo ship departed and returned.

...

The twin islands of Sal, Shark Harbor.

The Thousand-Claw Spider King, the Five School Spider King, and the Flame Camphor Spider King waited together at the dock.

"Worry-free, Kashiki."

The cargo ship docked, and the Thousand-Clawed Spider King called out and waved its claws in greeting.

The two spider kings quickly disembarked.

Jin followed closely behind and ran down.

A greeting,
The Thousand-Clawed Spider King inquired, "Wuyou, Kashiki, you both know about the Force Convergence Shield, right?"

"know."

"Jin has already said that."

Worry-Free and the Kashiwa Spider King answered.

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King asked, "Then it must have mentioned the sale to you, right?"

The King Kashi Spider replied, "I have mentioned it..."

The Worry-Free Spider King asked, "Thousand-Claw Spider King, Five Schools, Flame Camphor, do you mean... to buy?"

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King replied simply, "Buy."

The Five Schools Spider King said, "Jin's suggestion is also quite good. In the Flame Spider Kingdom, every Flame Spider Warrior who possesses a God-given Seed can contribute 5, 20, 1000, or even 10 million God-given Force Food, depending on the situation. It wouldn't be difficult to gather that amount."

Upon hearing this, the many spiders unloading cargo at the dock immediately looked at Jin with less friendly eyes.

Jin Hun didn't care and waved his claws in a gesture.

Silver, who had been cowering behind the spider swarm, immediately trotted forward, untied the spider silk rope binding his carapace, opened the bag, and took out a crimson meditation cushion with crimson-black primal energy patterns.

Jin took it, skillfully infused it with his mental energy to complete the contract, and then opened the holographic screen and clicked on settings.

"Don't scatter too much, squeeze together and stick together."

Jin offered a suggestion.

The Flame Spider Warriors, who had been scattered at a distance watching the spectacle, strolled leisurely closer, while the seventy or eighty spiders at the port crowded together.

With a single thought, Jin activated the 'meditation practice' function. The futon rose into the air, hovered, and cast a Force shield with a radius of 100 meters. It spread and closed close to the ground, forming a giant hemispherical space with a radius of 100 meters.

Force imbued with the properties of the fire element surged forth from the meditation cushion, causing the concentration of force within the hemispherical space to rise rapidly.

"Ouch!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Great stuff!" "Such a strong Force!"

"Can this be used by those with a destiny seed?"

"Can we increase the yield or fruit quality of the Fire-type Divine Gift Seed?"

"This is the real treasure!"

"..."

Having experienced it firsthand, the spiders all cheered.

Jin Zhenxing explained with his mental energy: "Of course it can be used on plants that have been given divine power, especially wild divine-given seeds, which can greatly help their growth and evolution. The only problem is that maintaining the power barrier and converting the power with fire characteristics both require primal stones, which is quite costly."

"The main function of this thing is to assist Force Warriors in molting and evolving, or to assist God-given Seeds in breaking through and evolving. It can prevent the problem of evolution failure caused by insufficient Force supply."

"Especially for us high-level Flame Spider Warriors, when breaking through to the Mountain Lord level, this item can help accelerate the awakening process of fire element talent, thereby greatly reducing the risk of failure."

"In addition, the settings can be adjusted to block mental energy, sound, and visual prying, eliminating the risk of failure due to external interference during the evolution process."

"It really has many uses."

"And it's very practical."

"How did this alien civilization create something so powerful?"

"It looks like a metal object? Can't insects with awakened metal talent replicate it?"

"Nonsense, we can't even find the materials for manufacturing it, and we don't know where the alien civilization got them from."

"Is it hidden deeper underground? Why not dig three or five thousand meters down and see what happens?"

"..."

The spiders were stunning, but we quickly went off-topic after only a few words.

Without saying a word, Jin thought for a moment, and the Force Barrier disappeared, the extremely high concentration of fire-type Force dissipated.

With a series of flashes, he distanced himself from the spiders, raised his claws, and the meditation cushion floated in front of him. He then opened the holographic screen and clicked on settings.

The meditation cushion floated up into the air again, this time hovering 5 meters above the ground, casting a fiery red barrier that closed in to form a hemispherical space with a radius of only 5 meters.

Within the translucent crimson barrier, seven-colored flames seemed to flicker, but Jin's figure was nowhere to be seen.

A mental scan was blocked by a barrier.

The spiders immediately understood that this was the so-called isolation and shielding effect, used to prevent external interference during molting.

Jin removed the barrier, his figure flashed, and he returned to the Spider Kings.

The meditation cushion floated over.

"The Thousand-Clawed Spider King, the Five Schools Spider King, how about it, is this thing alright?"

Kim asked.

"Of course!"

"It's awesome!"

Thousand Claws and the Five School Spider Kings gave an objective answer. They had already witnessed it, which was why they all rushed to the dock, their intention being to capture it.

The Spider King of the Five Schools raised its claws and smacked the silver head twice, questioning, "Little Purple Hair, did you lead the team to dig this up? And are you in charge of selling it? Can't you give me a discount?"

silver:"……"

"Friends and family price, 1000 million, that's the lowest I can offer..."

Jin said, "This doesn't belong to just one spider; it's a collective find for the entire excavation team. After we sell it, we'll split the profits."

"Aren't you taking the largest share? Can't you just take a little less?"

The Spider King of the Five Schools simply said, "Make it cheaper, 500 million. Our Flame Spider Tribe will pool our money to buy it together with the spiders that have received the God-given Seed."

"..."

Jin said with difficulty, "1000 million is already the lowest price, it can't be any lower. As far as I know, some insects sell for 1500 million on Ivory Island."

"The Sumeru Insect King and the like?"

The Spider King of the Five Schools angrily rebuked, "You're not learning good things from them? Those three old worms are notoriously wicked..."

"okay!"

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King interrupted the Five Schools Spider King's unreasonable behavior by raising its claws, and asked gently, "Jin, you were the one who organized the excavation of the ruins, so you must have gotten a lot, right?"

Jin denied it, saying, "I am part of the organization, but my evolutionary level is low and I don't have the corresponding abilities. I don't participate in the excavation, so I don't get much."

Seeing the hostile looks from everyone, Jin changed the subject and said, "I'll take 25%. We dug up 6 'Force Convergence Shields' this time. I'll take 1.5 and keep one for myself. Based on the price of 1000 million, in the end, I'll only get 500 million."

"The one I left behind, which has a frost effect, is mainly for use by the Golden Leaf Vine God-given Seed. Of course, Flame Spider Warriors of the same clan who possess the Life Seed God-given Seed can borrow it from me when they break through to a higher realm."

“If the tribe buys this one, we'll have two. One for the Flame Spider Warriors, and one for the Life Seed God-given Seed. Double insurance, foolproof.”

That's pretty much it!
The attitude of the onlookers softened slightly.

To be fair, the Force Convergence Shield does indeed bring huge benefits to the tribe's development; what everyone is unhappy about is that the Purple Spiders have made a fortune.

Jin proactively stated, "I know it's difficult to come up with 1000 million worth of divinely bestowed primal force food all at once, so we can take it slow and pay in installments. Everyone can contribute 300 to 400 million each year, paying off the balance in three years. Besides, the amount is too large, and we can't be too picky about the types of primal force food, so we'll focus on fire-based, followed by earth and water-based, then metal, wind, and lightning-based, and we'll also accept others. I'll gradually exchange and consume it through trade."

"Um--"

"This way, the pressure is much less."

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King said, "I've discussed it with the Five Schools and Flame Camphor, and we think it's worthwhile to purchase one. Worry-free, Kashiki, what do you think?"

The Worry-Free Spider King said, "I have no objection. I'll offer 20."

The Kashiwa Spider King chimed in, "I have no objection either; I can also offer 20."

"Then it's settled."

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King said, “The Spider King will contribute 20, the Lord will contribute 10, and the Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider Warriors who have enough to spare will contribute 5. Those who are really unable to contribute can be exempted depending on the situation. The entire clan will contribute to the purchase, and the item will belong to the clan and be kept by the Flame Camphor Spider King.”

"On ordinary days, it can be used on wild divine seeds to help accelerate their growth and evolution. Warriors who need it should plan their time in advance and apply to or make an appointment with the Flame Spider King."

"it is good!"

"I have no opinion!"

"I don't have any objection either!"

"That's right, we can invest some raw stones to quickly upgrade the tribe's five wild fire-type divine seeds."

"..."

Led by several spider kings, the spiders reached a consensus.

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King asked, "Jin, this thing looks a bit complicated. How do you use it?"

"Not complicated."

Jin controlled the meditation cushion to hover in front of them, opened the holographic screen, and began to explain how to use it. He generously explained the meaning of the characters from the alien civilization that he had painstakingly deciphered.
