Dawn Spider

Chapter 221 Genetically Modified Agent Storage Box

May,

The strong winds brought good news: the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord has successfully evolved to the 6th age.

June,

The strong wind brought back good news: the Elephant Cattail and Golden-Mouthed Scorpion-Tail Banana of Thousand Fruit Mountain have successfully broken through and advanced to the Mountain Lord level.

After achieving its breakthrough, the Golden-Mouthed Scorpion Tail Banana Divine Seed was immediately divided. After growing for half a year, it will flower and bear fruit next spring.

Xiangpu is the first loan customer and will also be the first to repay the loan.

The loan business has seen a glimmer of hope.

...

July,

With the harvest season for the fruits of the God-given Seeds coming to an end, Jin, accompanied by the mountain olives and the strong wind, once again arrived at the underground workshop in Ruins No. 1002.

Jin independently controlled the process, first cultivating 2000 spider eggs for Lord Famu, as well as the four Spider Kings: Gugou, Qimu, Wuyou, and Yanzhang.

Arrange for strong winds to promptly transport the goods back to the two islands of Saluo and to the corresponding mountain peaks.

A total of 1 spider eggs were collected, and the process took 20 days.

Jin then used his own genetic material as the main factor, and together with Lord Famu, as well as the four Spider Kings Gugou, Qianmu, Wuyou, and Yanzhang, each cultivated 2000 spider eggs.

These five are all top-tier Flame Spider Warriors; their genetic makeup is bound to be excellent. We should train more of them.

However, in the pursuit of genetic diversity in the Purple Flame Spider population, some undesirable genes were mixed in, resulting in ordinary little flame spiders that were bred being somewhat skewed, too lively, and not a single one as calm and intelligent as myself.

Therefore, Jin selected the genes of the West Serpent Lord, as well as the genes of the three mountain lords, Silk Sunflower, Fa Tree, and Yin Fragrance, and combined them to cultivate 2000 spider eggs from each. Additionally, he added 1000 genes from Mountain Olive and Fragrant Water.

This is the second batch, with a total of 2 spider eggs being cultivated and gradually sent back to Silk Sunflower Mountain. The master of Silk Sunflower Mountain and Yin arranged for experienced female spiders to be responsible for incubation and care.

Statistically speaking, out of 10,000 small purple spiders hatched, with careful nurturing, more than 7,000 would survive.

Next spring, the red-headed termite colony can be relocated to settle down, which can significantly increase the proportion of superior genes in the colony.

...

Spider egg culture is complete.

Jin, carrying Shanlan and Dafeng, hurried to Partridge Mountain.

As soon as they approached the clan's territory, Lord Jin Nan led a group of heavily armored warriors to meet them.

"Boss Jin!"

"Hello, Mr. Jin~"

"..."

The insects greeted him warmly.

Over the years, Jin has unwittingly become the most intelligent spider recognized by all the insects on Ivory Island and the Twin Islands of Saluo, making all other insect kings and spider kings pale in comparison.

Even the proud and arrogant King of the Sumeru Insects, who looked down on all insects, had to admit that the Purple-haired Golden Spider was a spider that had awakened the wisdom of a true god.

Now, wherever Jin goes, he is surrounded by a swarm of insects who warmly welcome him and try to get close to him.

Of course, the most important reason is that Jin really can make money off insects. Even a stupid insect like Jin Nan has become a nouveau riche by following along.

"Boss Jin, recently no divinely bestowed seeds have ripened at Partridge Mountain."

"Are they here to find Jin Nan? Are they going to dig up ruins again?"

"Duh! Every time they dig up the ruins, the big dragonflies sneak up on the golden camphor tree at night and set off stealthily."

"What do you mean by sneaking around? Can't you speak properly? This is called keeping a low profile."

"Then why the sudden shift to a high-profile approach?"

"..."

Lord Jin Nan dodged left and right, pushing aside the insects surrounding Jin and Shanlan, and asked, "Boss Jin, what's the matter?"

Jin said, "I'm planning to open a shop, so I need to make some preparations. I've come to ask Lord Jin Nan and the Great Poison Armor Warrior for help."

"no problem!"

"Small idea!"

"What help?"

"Please give your orders, Mr. Jin!"

"Me! Me! Me! I can help!"

"..."

The insects clamored to agree.

"Quiet! Don't make a sound!"

Lord Jin Nan, his mental energy surging, angrily demanded, "What kind of help?"

Jin said, "Most of the divinely inspired food sold in my shop is processed using equipment from an alien civilization and stored in treasure chests. But those chests are too few in number and too expensive. So, we need to manufacture a batch." "Oh—"

"Oh, about that!"

"This is indeed a trivial matter."

The insects were greatly disappointed upon hearing this.

A giant venomous warrior raised its claw and said, "Boss Jin, I've already copied it. I have a ready-made template. Would you like to take a look?"

It's been copied?
The giant poison-armored warrior who spoke was unfamiliar...

This giant poison armor warrior looked quite different from the other giant poison armor warriors; its eyes were bright and piercing, much like a clever insect.

And indeed, it immediately noticed Jin's confusion and introduced itself: "My name is Chi Cai, and I am a warrior from Lin Hua Peak. I am passing by Partridge Mountain on business."

"Lord Red Genius!"

Jin respectfully greeted him and asked, "A replica of a treasure chest from an alien civilization that stores food containing Origin Force? Let me see it?"

"Easy to say!"

Lord Chicai raised his leg and kicked and shoved away the warriors surrounding him. He waved his tentacles, and a wisp of metallic primal energy was activated, manipulating a dark longsword stuck in the woods not far away to fly over. It hovered in front of him, raised his left foreleg, and his primal energy surged and gathered within him. He activated his metallic ability, and the longsword, which still had a trace of primal energy metallic characteristics, directly disintegrated into powder.

The metal powder is separated into three clumps of different sizes and suspended.

The largest clump reassembled into a square metal box shape. With a flick of his claw, Lord Chicai injected a wisp of metallic primal energy, causing the powder to solidify again, transforming into a dark metal box covered with numerous relief patterns of flowers, plants, insects, and birds.

The Lord of the Red Talents deflected his forelegs, pointing them at a medium-sized clump of metal powder. The powder immediately moved and reformed, transforming into the shape of a metal box lid. A wisp of primal energy was injected, and it solidified again.

The Lord of Red Talents turned his forefoot again, pointing it at the smallest clump of metal powder. One by one, small metal components of various shapes formed, solidified, and embedded themselves into the reserved holes in the box and lid. Finally, the holes were sealed, leaving only the mechanism latches exposed.

The case and lid are joined together with four soft metallic clanging sounds as the lid locks in place.

There was also a hidden handle on the lid. The Red-talented Lord hooked it with his claws and pulled gently. With four crisp clicks, the metal springs popped open, and the lid opened.

Lord Chicai said slowly, "We don't have the advanced manufacturing techniques of setting up codes like those of alien civilizations. I've pondered for a long time and come up with a simple embedded switch."

"Also, the replica treasure chest is for storing processed God-given Force food, right? I suggest using this metal, as it can more effectively block the flow of Force and prevent the loss of Force energy."

Lord Chicai added, "This metal material should have been salvaged from the ruins of Mount Saluo, and it was used to forge the walls of the treasure vault. I've tested it; when used to store Force food, if it's properly sealed, it can extend its shelf life to some extent."

"is it?"

Jin manipulated a spider silk thread, wrapped it around the metal box, examined it closely, and scanned it at close range with his mental power.

It was perfectly sealed; even a mental scan couldn't detect any gaps.

Clearly, the Red Genius Lord's ability to decompose metal into powder, shape it, and then solidify it allows for more precise operation and improves the accuracy of components.

If a batch of metal tubes used to encapsulate gene-enhancing agents were replicated, with double sealing, the shelf life would definitely be extended even more effectively.

With a flick of his wrist, Jin gently pulled the hidden handle on the lid of the box. Four crisp clicks rang out as the latches popped open, and he easily opened the lid and lifted the box up.

Then put it back on, press down a little, and with the same four click-clack sounds, the lid closes.

It's a clever design that's simple and convenient to use, and suitable for warriors of almost all races.

The seemingly hapless Poison Armor tribe actually harbors such a powerful insect.

"Excellent! A near-perfect imitation!"

Jin didn't hold back his praise, and then asked, "The Cyathea Mountain ruins were completely destroyed by the Great Poison Armor Tribe, right? There must be a lot of this metal, right?"

Lord Jin Nan waved his tentacles and said casually, "There's plenty. Partridge Mountain is full of them, both on and off the mountain. Take whatever you need."

"???"

Lord Chicai was stunned. His carefully prepared bargaining plan was instantly thwarted by Jin Nan. His mind raced, and after a moment's thought, he tentatively asked:

"Mr. Jin, approximately how many of these metal boxes do you need?"

Jin replied, "Let's start with ten thousand."

Lord Chicai said, "There are quite a lot of them!"

Jin said bluntly, "Lord Chicai, I understand what you mean, it's about the price. We can do it this way: I plan to sell these imitation metal boxes for 100 Primogems of God-given Force Food. Then, we'll split the profits 20/80, I'll give you 80 Primogems and I'll only earn 20 Primogems. We'll settle accounts annually, and you'll get as much God-given Force Food as the number of boxes sold."

—To trade this thing for God-given food with the Force?
Are you sure it can work?

Lord Chicai flicked his tentacle and agreed, "No problem!"

"I can make these metal boxes too!"

"I can do it too!"

"I will! I will!"

Several members of the Great Poison Armor tribe, upon hearing that they could exchange their food for divinely bestowed primal energy, were so excited that their eyes turned red, and they jumped up and down, raising their claws in a gesture of goodwill.

Jin said, "Lord Chicai, you designed this treasure chest, and you own the corresponding intellectual property rights. So you should organize its production, and I'll come to you to purchase it later. As for the more specific production process, that's a matter of profit distribution within your Great Poison Armor, and I won't get involved."

Intellectual property? Lord Chicai agreed, "No problem!"
