Dawn Spider

Chapter 215 Shanglu Mall
Jin explained in detail how to use the meditation cushions for the spider kings, and generously handed the items over to the Flame Camphor Spider King for safekeeping.

The deal was completed, and the second meditation cushion was successfully sold.

Jin pondered what appropriate words to say, but the Thousand-Clawed Spider King skipped the matter and asked:

"Jin, there's one more thing. I heard that Xumi and the others dug up an incredible device that can create bloodline descendants? Did you help them figure out how to use it? And you even used it? You've cultivated quite a few Little Flame Spiders that directly inherited the bloodlines of the Western Serpent, the Fa Tree, the Silk Sunflower, and the Yin Fragrance Spiders?"

"That's right! It happened."

"I heard that the key to using that equipment is a metal tube for collecting blood? A disposable item, now selling for 10 each, and payment has to be made with divinely bestowed food?"

"Yes……"

Jin said, "We simply call it 'bloodline sampling tubes,' and there are quite a few of them. There are indeed insects for sale, but I don't know much about the price."

"How much did you get? How much is left?"

"I got 20..."

Seeing the Spider King of the Five Schools' unfriendly gaze, Jin slowly turned around and looked at Yin.

Silver cried out in anguish, "The old spider hit me and forced me to confess everything!"

"..."

Jin sighed and said honestly, "I didn't realize at first that there were only a limited number of these things. I gave the whole box to Dafeng. My intention was to have it collect the bloodline of the main body of Sikui Mountain, as well as the bloodlines of Shanlan and Xiangling from Huangge Mountain, to do a test first. As a result, they took it upon themselves to use up the whole box of bloodline sampling test tubes."

"Later, I guided the Sumeru Insect King to recognize the alien characters I had cracked from that device, taught it how to use the device, and obtained five more..."

Jin said, "I only have 5 claws left. I plan to keep them so that if another Force warrior with exceptional talent is born among my bloodline descendants in the future, I can give them to it to consolidate and optimize the bloodline inheritance."

The Thousand Claw Spider King asked, "Take one out and give it to the Ancient Hook Spider King. Currently, the Ancient Hook is the Flame Spider Warrior with the highest comprehension and the highest evolutionary level in our Flame Spider Kingdom."

"Of course, that's no problem..."

Jin volunteered, "I'll take out two more for Lord Famu and the Kashi Spider King. As for the other spiders, if they need any, they can go to Ivory Island and ask the Sumeru Insect King or the Stone Insect King. This time, they got the most..."

"Can't you just send me one?"

"Purple Hair, don't keep it, give me one."

"My Force talent is also very high, give me one."

"..."

The spiders made sarcastic remarks.

Kim did not respond.

After talking for a while,
Jin urged everyone to hurry up and get to work. Once the unloading is done, help move the metal boxes containing the original crystals down and transport them back to Haimeng Peak Square...

— Purple Hair, what kind of attitude is this?

—Whom are you commanding?
The spiders were about to attack.

Jin then added, "I plan to build a 'shop' next to the plaza, and the original crystal storage box will be placed inside the shop first."

"If all goes well, the shop will officially open during next year's trading season. I will assign one or two Flame Spider Warriors to guard it. From now on, everyone can use 'Credit Currency' to purchase the divinely bestowed Force food they need from the shop at any time."

—Shops?
The spiders looked at each other.

Several spider kings, along with some clever spiders, had already discerned Jin's intentions and remained silent.

Most spiders don't understand.

Jin explained vaguely, "At this stage, the main purpose is to facilitate the warriors who cooperate with us in processing to exchange the divinely bestowed resources they produce for the resources they need for their own evolution and growth."

"In the future, as I accumulate more resources, I will appropriately expand and broaden my trading business. For example, issuing 5-year short-term bonds with 2% interest and 10-year long-term bonds with 3% interest..."

Kim openly promoted his interest-bearing bonds and loan business, along with detailed explanations of how it worked and how it operated.

The five Spider Kings did not react.

Other spiders reacted differently. Some saw a significant increase in the benefits of the resources bestowed by the tribal gods, while many others were angry, indignant, and morally critical.

"Those who disagree are free not to buy or take out a loan. I'm here to serve those who need it, not to force them."

Jin, unconvinced, waved his forelegs and urged, "Unload, unload, hurry up and help, move all the metal boxes on the ship to Haimeng Peak Square."

—How dare you speak to me, Purple Hair?
The spiders, already filled with jealousy and resentment, bristled upon hearing this.

Jin Youyou said, "The Flame Spider Warriors who helped with the transport can take home a metal box with blue-purple spider silk attached to a pull ring. They can try to crack the password. Whoever cracks it will receive a super generous reward of 173 Origin Crystals!"

—173 original crystals?
When did Purple Hair become so generous?

Upon hearing this, the spiders, who had been indignant, reversed their attitude.

"Let's go~!"

"help!"

"no big deal."

"Stop standing there stupidly."

"Everyone, let's help move this!"

"..."

The onlookers, scrambling and clamoring, surged toward the cargo ship.

Jin called out, "Spider King of the Five Schools, let's go take a look at the plaza. I plan to build a shop next to the kingdom's warehouse to facilitate the transfer of goods..."

Jin then summoned two or three hundred Flame Spider Warriors from Haimeng Square to help transport all the original crystal storage boxes back.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain went to invite Lord Huang Qi over and used his earth-elemental abilities to build a three-story shop that was 20 meters wide and 30 meters deep.

The storefront is a single-story shop with the four large metal characters "Shanglu Mall" embedded in the facade, along with the logo of a pokeweed plant. Inside, shelves line both sides of the shop, used to display goods.

The second and third floors are warehouses, where the 7000 Primal Crystal storage boxes will be stored. Some of the boxes can be sold for the price of 1000 Primal Stones worth of Divine Force Food; the rest will be kept for personal use, to store Force Food and other valuables.

...

It took two days to set up the shop.

Two days later, the spiders who had come to watch the spectacle gradually dispersed.

Gold, Red Cone Mountain Master, Silver, Big Wind, and Sky Blue gathered together deep inside the shop to settle last year's accounts.

Last year, the total revenue from the cooperative processing business of the "God-given Seed" fruit was 58.3, a decrease of 1.6 compared to the previous year.

This is normal.

The two islands have a total of 155 Divine Seeds involved in the cooperation. Every year, warriors prepare for breakthroughs, and the Divine Seeds must rest and bear fruit. Similarly, every year, Zerg warriors successfully break through, and the corresponding Divine Seed yields increase.

To date, none of the Zerg warriors and Divine Seeds involved in the collaboration have died from failed breakthroughs or from exhaustion of their lifespan.

Overall, the returns show a fluctuating upward trend. Occasional dips are normal, mainly due to an increase in participants preparing for a breakthrough. These dips are temporary, and a significant increase in returns is inevitable afterward.

"Red Cone Mountain Master, Big Wind, Silver, your salary is 6. Sky Blue, your salary is 4."

A total of 22 yuan in salaries were paid out.

"Last year's profit surplus was 36.3 yuan. We will distribute another 1.3 yuan as bonuses. The owner of Hongzhui Mountain will receive 4000 yuan, and Dafeng, Yin, and Tianlan will each receive 3000 yuan."

"Okay~"

"Thank you, Mr. Jin!"

"Fourth Brother is so generous!"

"..."

After a burst of cheers.

The Red Cone Mountain Master asked, "Jin, who do you plan to assign to guard this shop?"

Jin said, "Lord of Red Cone Mountain, you can stay here and guard the place when you have nothing else to do."

"..."

The owner of Red Cone Mountain said leisurely, "I knew it. That extra 1000 yuan in bonus money wasn't for nothing."

Jin said, "We will officially open for business next year. At that time, we will arrange for a soldier to guard it."

The master of Red Cone Mountain asked, "Who should be assigned?"

Jin asked, "Which would be more suitable, the mountain olives or the fragrant water chestnuts from Huangge Mountain next door? Or the red tusks from Qimu Peak?"

"Is everything alright?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain said, "According to you, guarding the shops, collecting creditor currency, and selling the divinely bestowed food that is needed is not difficult. You just need to memorize the output, origin, grade, quality, effects, and price of each kind of divinely bestowed food. Any spider can do it."

Yin said, "In the future, we will also acquire freshly produced divinely inspired food, which involves valuation issues."

The owner of Red Cone Mountain said, "There are only so many divinely bestowed seeds on the Twin Tree Fern Islands, so it's easy to remember the price of each one."

This job isn't difficult.

Silver's heart stirred, and he raised his paw and said, "Fourth Brother, aren't we going to open shops on Ivory Island in the future? We can train a few more backup Flame Spider Warriors first."

"Why not recruit Shanlan, Xiangling, and Hongya all together for internships to familiarize them with the work? Specifically, we can have them take turns on duty each year, so we only need to pay the salary of one soldier."

"Yin's idea is good!"

Jin said, "Specifically, it can be done like this: this year, I can take a Flame Spider Warrior to Ivory Island for an internship, so that they can get up close and learn more about the God-given Seeds. After a year of internship, when the shop opens next year, they can officially start working."

"Next year, I will take another Flame Spider Warrior to Ivory Island for an internship. The year after that, he will take turns to oversee the shops and officially start his job."

"Following this pattern, one Flame Spider Warrior is needed on the Twin Islands of Saluo, and four Flame Spider Warriors are needed on Ivory Island, for a total of five Flame Spider Warriors. These will be trained one by one following this process."

"As for the order, let's go by age. The mountain olive is the oldest? It'll come first."

Jin said, "When we return to Sikui Mountain, we'll ask them for their opinions along the way."

"it is good!"

"Row!"

"Let's go to the kingdom's warehouse and choose some Force food first."

"These treasure chests are left here? Aren't you going to send a bug to guard them?"

"Don't worry about it. Who would be so stupid as to steal something from next to the warehouse of the Seamon Peak Kingdom?"

"..."

The insects chattered amongst themselves as they walked out of the shop.
