Dawn Spider

Return to Borneo

Jin headed straight to the commercial shops in Haimengfeng Plaza.

The Blood Fruit Lord and the Purple Wind Mountain Lord obtained the King-level divine-given primal force food that the Sumeru Insect King and the Stone Insect King had helped them exchange. It included fire, wind, lightning, and metal types.

The Jin organization facilitated the exchange. Divinely bestowed resources at the King level are equally scarce; they were likely processed into gene serums and kept for their own use.

...

Shanglu Mall is temporarily closed.

Jin convened all employees of Shanglu Group to review last year's transaction accounts.

Confirmed.

Together, they moved the God-given food, sorted it, and put it on the shelves.

The shop reopened the following morning.

Hongya and Xiangling stood behind the counter, in charge of the transactions.

Jin, accompanied by the owner of Red Cone Mountain, Yin, and Shanlan, stood at the entrance to greet the guests.

A large swarm of Flame Spider Warriors, chattering and squealing, rushed forward in a chaotic rush...

A group of Flame Spider warriors at the Mountain Lord and Lord levels also gathered around, chatting with the Gold, Silver, and Silk Sunflower Mountain Lords at the entrance.

There were significantly more Flame Spider Warriors and Zerg Warriors coming to buy and sell this year compared to last year.

The busy period lasted for several days, and it wasn't until January 22nd that things gradually quieted down.

Finally, the excavation team came to make the purchase.

Gold still has a limit on the amount available to everyone.

Each of the five lords—Golden Nan, Blood Fruit, Cluster Flower, Yellow Cherry, and White Cang—is limited to purchasing 100 million units.

The Secret Order Ant King is limited to 200 million units.

Both Dafeng and Zifeng are mountain lords, so it's best not to buy them this year.

Selling Force Convergence Shields, a total of $1300 million worth of God-given Force Foods have been received this year.

The excavation team bought it for 700 million.

The inventory of divinely bestowed resources in Shanglu Mall has increased by 600 million.

Commercial credibility is being built up little by little, and this year many soldiers have chosen to hold credit bonds.

After the frenzied trading session ended, a rough estimate suggests that Shanglu Mall's total inventory of divinely bestowed resources has reached 2000 million.

Yin and Tianlan started running around, processing loan business.

The loans from the Twin Islands of Saluo can amount to approximately 400 to 500 million in divinely bestowed resources, with a final inventory of 1500 to 1600 million.

...

...

Silky Mountain.

Last February, Huang Qishan carried out a major renovation of his territory at the foot of the mountain, mainly altering the western side of the mountain, followed by expansions on the northern and southern sides.

West side of the mountain peak

The little soldier, Xiang Jiao, stood alone at the foot of a mound surrounded by thorns, while Taro took root beside a ditch not far away.

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

The taro suddenly shook its leaves, making a joyful sound, and quickly pulled its roots out of the soil, wriggling vigorously toward the southern territory of the mountain.

"?"

The banana conveyed a questioning spiritual message.

Hesitantly glancing at his own lifeline, he took off chasing after the taro, simultaneously rubbing his claws together and making a sound:

"Taro, what's up?"

"Wait for me~ Wait for me~"

...

"Golden Leaf Vine!"

A golden light appeared beneath the Golden Leaf Vine, a divinely bestowed seed tree, and scanned it with its spiritual power, stretching out its forelegs to look up.

At the beginning of the year, the golden vine underwent its fourth fruit expansion.

Precise measurements showed that the fruit was 6.3 centimeters long.

The fruit is transparent, with dense, frost-like energy patterns inside. It appears as a crystal-clear white and refracts iridescent light under sunlight.

As the fruit absorbed the primal force, it continuously released a chilling aura, causing the temperature within a hundred-meter radius to drop significantly.

The fruit expansion pattern of the golden vine is very obvious; each time the fruit expands, its volume doubles.

The next time, which is the fifth time the fruit will expand, the fruit length should reach 8 centimeters.

The fruit expanded for the sixth time, reaching a length of 10 centimeters.

The fruit expands for the seventh time, matures, and is harvested, eventually becoming a large fruit that is 12 to 13 centimeters long.

"Golden Leaf Vine?"

"Mmm~ Ah~"

Golden Vine, looking half-asleep, asked perfunctorily, "Spider, you're back."

"Where's the taro?"

"My roots can't move, how would I know?"

"Isn't Lord Sikui of the mountain in his territory this early in the morning?"

"The silk spider has long legs, how can I possibly control it?"

"..."

Jin turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Jin Ye Teng suddenly called a halt and asked:

"Jin, you've dug up another treasure? You've struck it rich?"

No. There wasn't much to be gained last year.

"Nonsense! I saw it. You dug up another black meditation cushion, brought back by the big dragonfly. They were testing it under the pokeweed tree. Taro told me that those meditation cushions are very valuable, they can be exchanged for a lot of Primal Crystals!"

"Yes, I did dig one up. It comes with spatial effects. I plan to keep it for myself and the Divine Seed of Shanglu."

"Then you've struck it rich. Hurry up and go get my meditation cushion so I can use it."

“Alright. The item is being kept by Lord Sikui Mountain. I’ll give it to you when it returns.”

"Just go up the mountain and get it."

"The metal box is locked."

"..." Jin Ye Teng said angrily, "You'd better deliver the things on time."

Jin ignored him and went to check on the growth of the Blood Camphor Tree's divinely bestowed seed.

The tree is over 60 meters tall. Two years ago, we left a total of 1500 fruits, which will ripen in another two or three months. At the same time, it blossomed last December, and another batch of green new fruits was produced, also leaving a total of 1500 fruits.

He seems to be in good shape.

His temper remained volatile, and he sensed Jin's presence from a great distance, unleashing wave after wave of fierce and intimidating mental energy.

The golden figure flickered, and then proceeded to examine the Black Oak God-given Seed.

The Black Oak God-given Seed was much better-tempered; it swept its spiritual energy over the golden body without any reaction.

Thanks to the accelerated growth of the taro, the Black Oak Divine Seed has now reached the peak of the advanced level, meeting the conditions for breaking through to the Mountain Lord level. If Silver breaks through, it can follow suit.

The Blood Camphor Tree's divinely bestowed seed isn't much worse; with another two or three years of growth and maturation, it will definitely be fine.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The sound of taro leaves swaying could be heard.

"Taro!"

Jin called out, scanning the area with his mental energy, while Xiang Jiao ran frantically to keep up behind.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Taro responded with a cheer and slowed down.

The golden figure flashed forward.

"Banana!"

"Mr. Jin! You're back!"

As the banana ran, it rubbed its claws together and made a sound, full of enthusiasm.

The little warrior is growing rapidly, having already completed three molts and evolved into a 4-year-old beginner warrior with a leg span exceeding 30 centimeters. Based on the timeline, it should be able to break through to the 5th-year evolution stage next month.

In the year that Xiang Jiao officially became a Force Warrior, he figured out many things.

I thought that once I evolved into a Force Warrior, everything would be fine, and I could be as cool as the purple-haired gold and yellow-haired silver, and I could hunt for myself and no longer need to eat fish.

Gradually, it was discovered that this was not the case.

Awakening to the Force and becoming a Force Warrior is just the beginning. Force Warriors don't care much about what they eat; they are more concerned about their strength and lifespan.

To gain greater strength and a longer lifespan, one must continuously evolve and grow.

Evolution and growth, on the other hand, require a massive amount of high-quality resources to support them.

The cruel reality is that most of the Flame Spider Warriors in this world are dirt poor.

Jin is different. It spends most of the year away from its territory, having gone to excavate ancient alien civilization relics to make a fortune. It has more divine resources than it can use, and it also has various trading and loan businesses. It is a spider that is richer than a country. Not to mention the minor Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain, Lord of Famu, even the Spider King of Sea Lemon Peak has to be careful around it.

"Boss Jin, did you get back from Haimeng Peak? Have you eaten? There's still food on the mountain," Xiangjiao asked with concern.

"Uh... no need."

Jin asked, "Where is Lord Sikui Mountain?"

"Wow!"

The taro raised a root and pointed eastward.

"It went to the East Coast to practice its abilities, right? I heard it's preparing for its 8th instar evolution," Xiang Jiao replied.

It's definitely not advisable to practice fire-based abilities within the Silk Sunflower Mountain territory; the entire tropical jungle is unsuitable.

Flame Spider Warriors usually go to the coast.

Lord Silk Sunflower went to the East Coast to practice her skills, and also took the opportunity to complete her daily fishing and hunting work.

"understood."

Jin called out, "Xiang Jiao, come on, let's go take a look at your territory."

Xiang Jiao immediately pointed with his paw and said, "Mr. Jin, this way please!"

……

This guy is obsessed with large herbaceous plants like bananas and elephant leg bananas.

It is a common and naturally high-quality plant species in tropical rainforests. Many insect warriors cultivate it on the islands of Sal and Ivory Coast, and have optimized and bred many high-quality varieties through various methods.

Lava Elephant Leg Banana is a high-quality new variety that was cultivated by the Red Banana Arrow Mantis tribe of Suoyu Mountain on Ivory Island more than a decade ago.

A merchant named Jin Xing passed by and, seeing that the plant looked good, decided to get some seeds to enrich the variety of high-quality plants in Silk Sunflower Mountain.

The first seedling chosen for the elephant banana plant was the Lava Elephant Leg banana, which has already grown into a large, lush clump.

The second seedling chosen was a blood-red banana plant. The mother plant was already over two meters tall, and the offshoots had begun to develop.

The third seedling chosen was the Thousand-Finger Red Banana, which grows very fast, and the mother plant is already two meters tall.

Looking around, one can see that the adjacent plot of land is planted with a large number of common elephant leg bananas and plantains.

"Banana, you'll soon be able to molt and evolve into your 5th instar, right?"

"Yes, we have already started using Force Foods and are making preparations."

"So, the fourth life seed you chose was..."

"Purple Sun Elephant Leg Banana. The seeds that Lord Famu helped me find."

The banana nimbly climbed up the carapace along the side of the golden carapace, then ran up to the top of the golden carapace, stood on the golden carapace, and pointed with its claws.

Not far away, a large grove of elephant leg bananas is in full bloom, with golden-red flowers standing out brightly among the green leaves.

"Did you plant those?"

"The owners of Silk Sunflower Mountain and Red Cone Mountain helped me plant them."

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

The taro shook its leaves, making a sound of dissatisfaction.

Xiang Jiao added, "Taro helped too. I can do the work myself."

"Oh……"

"Not bad. Not bad."

Jin praised, carrying bananas, and approached for inspection.

Good heavens! They've already cultivated and planted four plots of land, each 500 meters long, with seeds from who-knows-where—a total of 20 high-quality banana and elephant leg banana varieties.

Unlike gold and silver, this guy is a true nature god warrior. Upon awakening his Force, he showed a strong liking for a certain plant and became enthusiastic about cultivating it.

Without a doubt, in a few years, the western part of the Silky Mountain territory will be filled with all kinds of bananas and elephant leg bananas.

That's perfect.

In the future, Lord Sikui Mountain and Elephant Banana will remain to guard the Sikui Mountain territory, with Taro assisting them in managing logistics and other affairs. Gold and Silver can confidently venture out into the world. (End of Chapter)
