Dawn Spider

Chapter 224 Shop Opening (Part Two)
"Mr. Jin, I want to buy it too."

"Go buy it."

"I don't have your spider silk currency."

"From now on, any products from the God-given Seeds can be sold directly to me at the same price."

"No. Don't get me wrong. I mean, could you lend me some? I'll try."

"For loans, contact Yinhe Tianlan; the annualized interest rate is a fixed 3%."

"..."

"Jin, you're charging 100 Primogems for that box? And you're using God-given Force food as the price?"

"That's a deposit, and it's refundable."

"Retreat? That insect, skilled in metal manipulation, can endlessly replicate and force you to retreat to your death."

"It doesn't exist. My mutated spider silk is embedded inside the box, and it has my mental imprint for anti-counterfeiting."

"Oh! You've thought of that quite thoroughly."

"Is this shop going to stay open from now on?"

"Of course, unless it goes bankrupt."

"Bankruptcy and closure?"

"They suffered huge losses, lost all their capital, and couldn't continue operating."

"You're paying the mountain olives a salary? And you're pricing it with divinely bestowed food? Aren't you guaranteed to lose money?"

"Losing a little salary is nothing. I'm happy to be able to provide convenience for my fellow warriors."

"hehe."

"The little spider demon is up to something. It's lending money. This Shanglu Mall is designed to facilitate lending."

"I don't make money from lending money either..."

"..."

Grand opening!

Many of the Flame Spider Warriors and Zerg Warriors who thought they were close to Jin approached him for casual chats.

Taking this opportunity, Jin promoted interest-bearing bonds and loan services to everyone.

...

...

The news spread like wildfire across the two islands of Sal:
[At Haimeng Plaza, the "shop" that Sikui Mountain Gold and Silver had been talking about has finally opened! It's called "Shanglu Mall," and they've prepared 1300 million worth of divinely bestowed primal force food.]

New and unusual things.

First came the Flame Spider Warriors and Zerg Warriors who had cooperative processing and trading relationships with Silk Sunflower Mountain and held the Credit Currency. They arrived with the Credit Currency and tried to use it to purchase the divine resources they needed from the shops.

Excellent experience

Guarding the counter, the transaction was handled by a Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider Warrior and a half-grown High-level Warrior. This was far more comfortable than nervously and humbly exchanging divinely bestowed Force food with the Five Schools Spider King.

More and more insects gathered to watch the spectacle.

However, the number of people using coupons to make purchases is decreasing.

At this moment, the Lord of the Palm Bamboo of Purple Sandalwood Peak arrived carrying large and small bags of divinely bestowed food. He took off the spider silk bags, opened them one by one, and placed them on the counter.

"Red cone, mountain olive, take stock and give an estimate."

"Ok."

"okay."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain and the Mountain Olive Tree agreed.

All of them were products of divinely bestowed seeds from Zitan Peak and Sikui Mountain, which the Lord of Red Cone Mountain knew all too well. However, he still offered a symbolic price and counted them off.

"Lord Bamboo, that's a total of 682,300 Originium Stones, right?"

"correct!"

Shanlan quickly counted out the corresponding amount of credits and presented them, while asking, "Lord Zongzhu, would you like to purchase some divine resources?"

"Of course! Do you have fire-type biomimetic divine-given food?"

"Sorry, that's all..."

"Then I'll exchange it with the Spider King of the Five Schools."

Lord Bamboo counted out ten 10,000-denomination tokens and said, "Give me a divinely bestowed resource worth 100,000 primal stones, which enhances overall physique. The Magic Tree needs to be strengthened to advance to the Lord level."

"Ok!"

"no problem!"

"The variety of divinely inspired foods for those with well-rounded physical constitutions is quite extensive!"

The Lord of the Silky Mountain and the Lord of the Mountain Olives immediately took out samples from under the counter for the Lord of the Palm Bamboo to choose from.

"..."

"Jin, aren't you from Sikui Mountain and Zitan Peak in cahoots?"

"Is there some kind of conspiracy?"

"You want to trick us into selling you the food given to us by the Force?"

"What a low-level scam!"

"Are we spiders so easily fooled?"

"Don't misunderstand, everyone. We've already split up. We're not in the same group anymore. Besides, trading is one thing, and managing and producing in our territory is another; they should be kept separate."

"hehe."

"I believe it."

"I believe it now."

"Gentlemen, what could I possibly be lying to you about? You can buy at the same time as I'm selling."

"Isn't there something you can't buy?" "It's only the beginning of the year, so the quantity and variety of goods aren't enough. It'll be better next year. Next year, we'll have divinely bestowed resources worth over 30 million entering the warehouse."

"Oh!"

"hiss……"

"Little Purple Hair, did you dig up so many resources from the ruins?"

"Why open a shop? With that kind of skill, focus on excavating ruins!"

"..."

During casual conversation,
The Cloud Mushroom Lord of Ziwei Peak personally carried large and small bags of spider silk, leading a little warrior named 'Zhuliao' who had been born on the peak just two years ago, to the counter.

The large and small bags of cobwebs were opened.

The owners of Sanam Luang and Red Cone Mountain began to appraise the value and count the quantity.

Upon seeing this, Jin realized there was a small problem:

On the Twin Islands of Saluo, it's mainly the Flame Spider Warriors who are making purchases, and they're definitely buying fire-elemental divine power food. The prepared goods are far from enough for everyone to exchange.

Jin calmly called out, "Yin, Xiangling, Hongya, come with me. We're going to find the Spider King of the Five Schools and get some fire-type divine resources."

The three old spider kings, Thousand Claw, Five Schools, and Flame Camphor, stood next door watching this side.

When the Spider King of the Five Schools saw Jin and his party coming toward him, he said directly, "The total value of the God-given Seeds you sent last year is estimated at 374 million. Go to the warehouse and get them yourselves."

"it is good!"

Jin gave a brief reply, then turned to ask, "Yin, you know how to choose, right?"

"know."

Yin agreed.

Jin waved his claws, signaling Yin to take Xiangling and Hongya to the warehouse to make selections, while he stayed behind to discuss matters with the Spider King of the Five Schools.

"Now that the shops of the Five Schools Spider King have opened, the way to exchange for God-given Force food will also need to be changed accordingly."

"of course."

The Spider King of the Five Schools asked, "What do you think would be a more suitable transformation?"

Jin said, "The divinely bestowed food we receive is handed over to the kingdom's warehouse once a month, 12 times a year. The total amount is tallied at the end of the year, and when the trading caravans return the following year, we retrieve the goods from the warehouse as soon as possible."

The Spider King of the Five Schools asked, "You've all taken care of the most important task of exchanging the divinely bestowed Force food, so what am I supposed to do?"

Jin said, "Five Schools Spider King, just watch and see how I lead the tribe to prosperity and strength."

snort~
Little Purple Fur has such a big mouth!

They even dared to say things like "leading the tribe to prosperity and strength".

The Spider King of the Five Schools remained silent.

Jin's intentions are very clear: to promote the credit currency and gather resources on the Twin Islands of Salas, and the next step is to lend money to Ivory Island.

All things considered, this tactic could actually work, bringing the tribe substantial benefits beyond its territory.

The Spider King from the Five Schools warned, "Be careful, don't mess things up."

"will not!"

Jin, full of confidence, suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Five Spider Kings, last time we all agreed that the Spider Kings should donate a portion of the profits from the God-given Seeds in their territories as a tribal development fund. Has everyone donated?"

The Spider King of the Five Schools immediately understood this guy's intention and said indifferently, "This is none of Mr. Jin's concern, and don't even think about taking advantage of these resources."

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King asked, puzzled, "What kind of wicked idea is Jin up to?"

The Spider King of the Five Schools explained, "It wants us to put the divinely bestowed resources from the 'Tribal Development Fund' into its shops. We will issue its 'credit currency' to the Flame Spider Warriors who are applying for low-interest loans to become Spider Kings. Then, the Flame Spider Warriors will use the credit currency to purchase the divinely bestowed Force food they need from its shops."

"Oh……"

After a moment's thought, the Thousand-Clawed Spider King understood Jin's intentions.

First, take this opportunity to promote and accelerate the popularization of credit-based currency.

Second, increase the amount of divinely bestowed resources for shops and warehouses, and enrich the product categories.

Third, the Spider King donated mostly King-level divine-given Force food, while the Lord-level warriors didn't necessarily buy all King-level food. Gold could manipulate the system to intercept a portion of the King-level divine-given Force food.

The divinely bestowed primal force food at the King-level is a rare and scarce resource. The portion that is retained can be consumed internally, sold at a higher price, or sold at cost to other spiders or insects to cultivate relationships; there are many ways to manage this.

"Jin, this won't do..."

The Thousand-Clawed Spider King, with his good temper, patiently explained, "Breaking through to the King level is not the end, but a new beginning. After evolving into Spider King, if you have the ability, you should continue to evolve upwards."

"In order to ensure that everyone can continue to evolve after advancing to Spider King, our tribe should try our best to exchange for the best God-given Force food for these Flame Spider Warriors, and exchange for as much King-level Force food as possible. You can't do that yet."

"Okay. I understand. I was just asking casually, nothing more."

Jin agreed, then asked, "The resources donated by the six Spider Kings aren't much, are they? Not enough, are they? The West Serpent Lord has three Life Seeds of Divine Gift, and the resources are overflowing; he's been hoarding them. Why not have him donate them ahead of time..."

"Bad idea!"

The Flame Camphor Spider King said irritably, "Aren't you afraid that if the Western Serpent hears this, it will swat you to death with one claw?"

The Spider King of the Five Schools asked, "Jin, do you have some kind of grudge against the Western Serpent? You're always eyeing its resources."

"No."

"I see many tribal lords who have met the requirements to break through and advance to Insect King, but they're stuck evolving due to insufficient resources. I'm so worried for them..."

Jin chatted with the three Spider Kings, offering advice on the development of the tribe.

Soon,
Silver, Fragrant, and Red Fang, their backs laden with Force-infused food, emerged from the warehouse and headed straight for the shops.

"Three Spider Kings, I must go now."

Jin bid farewell, his figure flashed, and he entered the shop. He took the divinely bestowed food, sorted it, labeled it, and placed it on the shelves.

The shops were immediately replenished with a large amount of goods, and the buying and selling transactions ran smoothly.

As dusk fell, the swarm of insects that had been watching gradually dispersed.

Jin then organized everyone to send the acquired Force Food to the Kingdom's warehouse, where they could exchange it for an equivalent amount of God-given Force Food from the Southern Continent, ensuring that tomorrow's transactions could proceed smoothly.

The acquisition and sale of shops is essentially just a matter of moving the divinely bestowed food between the shop shelves and the kingdom's warehouses; the capital prepared by Jin for the transactions will not increase or decrease.
