Dawn Spider

Mid-March

News came from the twin islands of Borneo that Xiangling had also successfully broken through and been promoted to the position of mountain lord.

Almost simultaneously, on Ivory Island, Rong returned to Banyan Tree Mountain and completed a molting evolution, becoming a 2-year-old advanced warrior.

Following closely behind, the flower vine completed a molting evolution, becoming a 9-year-old advanced warrior.

Its micro-flowered vine is a divinely bestowed seed of the wood element. Last year, Jin gave it two bags of grade three granular fertilizer. After using it, the plant became much stronger and fully met the conditions to break through to the mountain master level.

The tiny flowering vine, a gift from God, has begun to cease flowering and fruiting.

Jin simply lent Hua Teng 180,000 units of divinely bestowed primal force food in one go, and depending on the situation, he would choose a suitable time between September and December next year to help her break through to the Mountain Lord level.

...

Chi Cang and Shan Lan guarded the Qing Sha Port Commercial Mall.

Jin, along with Green Tree and Banyan, busied themselves handling cooperative processing and transactions, while also introducing them to the Zerg warriors of various tribes, showing them the different divinely bestowed seeds, and familiarizing them with the pricing rules for divinely bestowed Force foods.

...

The excavation team at the ruins has never stopped.

Jin frequently encounters forks in the road and needs to go and handle them.

August arrived before we knew it.
A level 0 ruin was unearthed, yielding only a small amount of raw crystals.

Time flies, and it's December again.
The team dug along the southern coast of the island, discovering many towns and cities, including one city-level city, but no other large ruins similar to the 'Wooden Palace' were found, nor were any other valuable relics discovered.

After discussion, the excavation team returned to the mountains for a vacation and will try to continue excavating along the west coast from south to north next year.

...

22 years of Shanglu
The merchant ships returned as scheduled.

The 500 large bags and 5000 small bags of granular fertilizer sent to the southern mainland last year have all sold out.

Some granular fertilizer was also sold sporadically on Ivory Island and the two islands of Saluo.

In total, it sold for 2200 million.

According to the agreed-upon split, Jin received 550 million.

The inventory of Divinely Gifted Resources at Qingsha Port Trading Plaza's Shanglu Mall has been increased to 1200 million.

This inventory is sufficient to sustain the buying and selling of divinely inspired food in the shops.

Qingsha Port Commercial Mall officially opened for business.

This year, Jin also gave 500 large bags and 5000 small bags of granular fertilizer to Kashi and the Worry-Free Spider King to be sold in the southern continent.

...

March,

Dafeng completed a molting evolution, breaking through the minor realm from the 3rd to the 4th age, and successfully comprehended its second wind-type ability, an attack power called 'Wing Blade Flash Kill', which is quite formidable.

In the future, when encountering danger, Da Feng will have one more option: to stay and fight.

Not long after,

News came from the Twin Islands of Saluo that Red Fang had successfully completed his breakthrough and been promoted to Mountain Lord.

Following closely behind, Xiang Jiao successfully broke through and was promoted to advanced warrior.

In September of the same year,

Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord successfully evolved to the 8th age.

October and November,
Hua Teng and Tian Lan both broke through and were promoted to Mountain Lords.

Huateng Mountain is ideally situated, located between Longjiao Mountain and Ebony Mountain, sandwiched between the territories ruled by the Six-Section Stag Beetle Tribe and the Two-Colored Cockroach Tribe.

Jin enlisted the help of Eshu and Shizichongwang to build the third super-reinforced Pokeweed Mall on Huateng Mountain.

Pai Shanlan and Rong set up shop, first displaying 100 bags of granular fertilizer, and hastily opened for business.

Flower Vine is considered a temporary worker, mainly responsible for territory security, hunting for mountain olives and banyan trees, and occasionally helping to watch the shop. Her annual salary is 4, which is used to repay the divine resources borrowed from Jin during her advanced warrior stage of growth and evolution.

...

In early 23rd year of Shanglu,

Breaking news has arrived from the Twin Islands of Saluo: Lord Su Mufeng has successfully broken through and been promoted to Spider King.

The seventh Spider King of the Flame Spider Kingdom.

...

1 month 14 day,
Merchant ships that had gone to trade in the southern continent returned as scheduled.
Both the 500 large bags and 5000 small bags of granular fertilizer sold out smoothly.

But last year, there were almost no sales of granular fertilizer on the islands of Salak and Ivory Coast.

All things considered, the income is 1800 million divine resources.

The excavation teams were allocated proportionally.
Jin received 450 million, and after scraping together another 500 million, he sent it to Huatengshan Shanglu Mall.

Huatengshan Shanglu Mall is in its first year of trial operation.

This year, Jin didn't go back to Sikui Mountain for vacation. Instead, he dragged Lord Bai Cang along to stand at the shop entrance to greet customers.

The warning carries a stronger connotation.

The insects in the southern part of Ivory Island may not care about Boss Jin, but Lord Bai Cang, the direct descendant of the Black Ebony Mountain Leaf King, is someone you absolutely cannot provoke. Flower Vine Mountain is remote, and Flower Vine and Mountain Olive only possess the strength of a beginner-level Mountain Lord, serving as a silent warning to those insects with impure hearts.

...

The excavation team at the ruins has never stopped.
Along the west coast of Ivory Island, which runs from south to north for 200 kilometers, only one Class 0 ruin was discovered, and there has been no significant discovery.

They returned to Ruins 1002, starting from the villa area where Force Warriors lived and took vacations, which they had dug before. They dug along the east coast from south to north for nearly a hundred kilometers, but still found nothing.

After nearly three years without a harvest, the insects' confidence plummeted.

Jin couldn't help but wonder if there was another ruin similar to the 'Wooden Palace'?
Working in the dark, cramped, and damp underground for many years has taken a toll on everyone's mental health.

After discussion, the excavation work was suspended, the team was disbanded, and everyone went back to the mountains to rest for a year or two. Everyone should focus on improving their skills, enhancing their strength, and adjusting their physical and mental state. We'll see how things go later.

...

...

Time flies,

January 14th, 24th year of Shanglu
Merchant ships that had gone to the southern continent for trade returned as scheduled.

A large group of insects, led by Jin, Jinnan Lord, Blood Fruit Lord, and Tuanhua Lord, had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

Once the giant ship had entered the port and was docked securely, the insects boarded the ship via the gangway.

"The King of the Oak Spider! The Worry-Free Spider!"

"Lord Famu! Lord Yunxun..."

Jin greeted them one by one.

The boat was full of elders, and it took some effort to get to them all.

Lord Famu spoke up, "Jin, just as you said, our merchant ships sail close to the coastline of the southern continent, so we only come into contact with a limited number of insects, and the amount of granular fertilizer we can sell is also limited..."

"Last year, sales plummeted, and the total revenue was less than 1000 million."

The Wood Spider King said, "The effect of this thing diminishes over time, and there's a limit to how much each wood-type Force plant can use. It will only be harder to sell next year."

"OK……"

"We all expected this."

"It's not bad."

"King Kassaroo has worked hard."

"Lord Famu, you've worked hard."

"..."

As expected, the insects, led by Jin, tactfully expressed their gratitude.

Jin said, "After we go back, we'll replenish the goods. Next year, we'll still send 500 large bags and 5000 small bags. We'll sell as many as we can."

"That's what we mean too."

The King of the Oak Spiders agreed.

The Worry-Free Spider King asked, "Jin, what about Ivory Island? I'm afraid there are no sales at all, right?"

"Only twenty or thirty small bags were sold sporadically."

Jin Rushi replied, then asked, "Lord Famu, could you please help me guard the Qingsha Port Commercial Market for a month? Lord Chicang Mountain is on duty back at the Twin Islands of Saluo, so Xiangling will take over."

"No problem at all!"

Lord Famu replied.

Lord Cloud Mushroom immediately asked, "Purple-haired Gold, do you not have enough spiders? Should we send Spider-Worms to help you?"

Jin replied, "That's exactly what I was planning to do..."

After talking for a while,

Jin led the excavation team and the insects into the ship's hold to inspect the cargo.

With over 1000 million units sold, each person would receive a substantial share proportionally.

The insects were not disappointed. They chatted idly for a while, and only after the warriors from the seven tribes in charge of the trade finished unloading did they begin to move the goods and divide them up on the spot according to the profit-sharing ratio.

After dividing,

The strong winds urgently transported supplies to the pharmacognosy market in Huateng Mountain to replenish inventory.

Jin and the chief commander of the Crimson Mountain, the earth-yellow-colored little flame spiders, boarded the ship and set off.

...

All business operations are now on track.

Haimeng Peak Plaza
Xiangling and Hongya guarded the Shanglu Mall, in charge of the trading of Force Food.

At the securities exchange next door, Yinhe Tianlan had already sold out all the bonds issued this year and completed all the loan business. They were chatting with a group of insects.

Jin convened a meeting of all the insects to check the inventory, verify the accounts, and distribute salaries.

After finishing my work, I went straight back to Sikui Mountain to rest.

Yin also returned to the mountain, made simple preparations, and allowed the mountain lord to undergo a slumber and evolve into its second-in-life form. (End of Chapter)
