Dawn Spider

Chapter 58 Correct Use of Equipment

I confirmed that the purpose of this heavy machine in front of me was to process Force food, and figured out the general usage method.

Yin suddenly became alert, raised his paw, and asked, "Can't we just eat the Force food produced by the Force plants directly? Why bother processing it?"

The Sikui Mountain Master said, "Extend the storage time."

Lord Famu said, "There's another very important point. The vast majority of the energy in the fruits of all Force-based foods is concentrated in the seeds, with a small amount distributed in the shell, flesh, and peel."

"Take the divinely gifted Lei Linan seeds as an example. Over 90% of their energy is concentrated in the seeds and shell, with nearly another 10% located in the flesh and skin. As the fruit matures, the energy in the flesh and skin rapidly and uncontrollably dissipates, making it impossible to preserve for long. Traditional Flame Spider warriors awaken their fire-based talents and have no use for lightning. Therefore, every year, the flesh of the Lei Linan fruit is peeled and thrown away, leaving only the seeds, which can be preserved for a long time. This effectively wastes nearly 10% of the benefits of the divinely gifted seeds."

That was exactly what Yin had meant. He raised his paws high, jumped up and down, and shouted, "Now that we have this equipment, we can process and utilize both the flesh and the peel!"

"That's right!"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain's eight eyes flashed as he spoke, "God-given seeds are randomly bestowed by the True God of Nature and may not necessarily be compatible with the Zerg warriors that spawned them. Furthermore, similar problems exist universally. My Lei Linan God-given seeds are relatively good, with very little pulp. Fruits and berries like mangoes, durians, peaches, apricots, and pears have a lot of pulp, accounting for over 10% of their energy, and in severe cases, up to 20%. If they can't be digested in time, they'll just be wasted and thrown away."

Lord Famu's heart moved, and he said, "Jin's life capsule has mutated, and it is very likely that it can only give birth to one life seed. Without a life seed, there will be no resources for evolution..."

"Now that we have this alien civilization's equipment, Jin can consider purchasing the freshly harvested divine fruits from other insects, bringing them back for processing, and earning a profit from the difference."

"!!!"

"Yes!"

Both Sikui Mountain Master and Yin stretched their legs in excitement.

Everyone kept their worries to themselves, though they didn't say it out loud. Without a life seed, how would Jin evolve and grow? Even though Si Kui was wealthy, she couldn't afford to support a youngster with only one life seed.

Now with this equipment, Jin only needs to be more diligent and clever to achieve self-sufficiency! He can even obtain more evolutionary resources than the output of life seeds.

Lord Silk Mountain said enthusiastically, "Here in the Flame Spider Kingdom, we're all of the same Flame Spider clan, and with Lord Famu helping smooth things over, there's definitely no problem. Those warriors who possess the God-Given Seed but whose elemental attributes don't match it will definitely agree."

Lord Famu calculated the account and said, "Jin, for each God-given seed, you earn 5% of the profit. If you can connect 20 trees, you will earn the same as one Life Seed God-given seed."

Lord Famu paused and said, "Currently, our Flame Spider Kingdom has registered approximately 180 God-given seeds. However, they are mainly fire-type, system-type, and perception-type..."

Lord Famu pondered silently, mentally counting, and said, "There are probably about 30 trees that would need this equipment! But there are only 7 of the berry and pear varieties with lots of flesh? The others are pods and drupes, and the peeled flesh doesn't have much energy content."

Yin raised his claws and said, "That's at least equivalent to one God-Given Seed! Besides, aren't there many God-Given Seeds at the lord level? Is that equivalent to the profit of one lord-level God-Given Seed?"

"..."

Jin glanced at Yin and said thoughtfully:

"The Flame Spider Kingdom is still a little small. It's small in area, and the insect population isn't that large..."

"Ivory Island is five times the size of the Sala Islands, with a population of over five thousand. The number of God-Given Seeds should be... three times that of the Flame Spider Kingdom. In the future, when I have evolved to a higher level and become more powerful, I can visit the Ivory Island Kingdom, purchase them, and promptly ship them back to Silk Sky Mountain for processing."

"That's right!"

Lord Famu said, "That's what I meant. Jin, you're smart and will definitely be able to make this deal work. If you do, there's still hope for you to evolve into a Spider King in the future."

Lord Famu raised his claws and gently tapped the equipment beside him, making a dull thud. He sighed, "Jin, you are the biggest beneficiary of this ruin."

Jin accepted it calmly and said nothing.

The Sikui Mountain Master was agitated for a moment, then calmed down and said sternly, "We have to wait until we have the senior warriors before we consider this matter. Before we have the senior warriors, Jin and Yin are not allowed to leave Sikui Mountain."

The Sikui Mountain Master looked at Yin and asked, "Yin, what good things did you bring back?"

Yin was immediately discouraged and sighed, "It's just a worthless little thing."

As he spoke, he untied the spider silk rope, took out the lotus bud-shaped object, injected it with the Force, and the petals unfolded layer by layer...

Yin said, "There are a million of these things in the underground treasure house."

Lord Famu commented, "They are valuable and can be used to preserve life seeds that are temporarily unsuitable for planting. However, the number discovered this time is simply too great. Anything, once found in excessive quantities, is worth little in terms of raw stones."

"Not bad, keep it well."

The Sikui Mountain Master looked at Jin again and asked, "Jin, what are you carrying on your back... calla lily tubers? Why do they smell so strongly of divine seeds?"

“It’s the seed given by God!”

Yin rushed to explain: "A wild calla lily seed given by God was parasitized by a wood spirit and turned into a God-given evil spirit. It was first caught by the Western Snake Lord and tied to his back to be exposed to the sun for a day..." Yin recounted what happened in detail.

An incredible and strange thing.

Lord Famu called out, "Let's go down the mountain and try!"

...

...

It's morning,
The spiders came to the south side of the mountain and cleared out a piece of land next to the irrigation canal one kilometer away from the foot of the mountain.

Jin stepped forward, took out the taro, dug a hole and buried it.

The master of Sikui Mountain helped to fetch water for irrigation.

Let’s go back to the mountain together and hide on the top to watch.

No response for a long time,

As soon as Jin saw the situation, he knew in his heart that there was no hope. But Lord Famu, Lord Sikui, and Yin were in high spirits, so he didn't want to spoil their fun, so he followed along and waited patiently.

There was still no response until noon.

Late in the afternoon, as the sun in the sky became increasingly crooked, the Lord of Sikui Mountain reluctantly left and went into the jungle to hunt.

At night, after returning from hunting, there was still no movement.

I cut the food and distributed the common flame spiders. After finishing the work at midnight, I went up the mountain to ask, but it still didn't work.

At dawn, Lord Famu lost his patience as there were still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Rosewood Mountain, so he said goodbye and left.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain was still somewhat unwilling to give up, so he continued to guard with the gold and silver until noon.

"Jin, Yin, let's go over and take a look."

"have a look."

"have a look."

Let’s go down the mountain together and dig out the taro to check.

Same old thing, no change at all.

"Jin, do you have any other ideas?"

The Sikui Mountain Master asked. He had never seen a plant spirit that could escape, and he was eager to see it.

"No." Jin answered truthfully.

The 'intelligence' Jin displayed came primarily from his human soul and his understanding of human society. He encountered various strange creatures, including fog spirits, evil spirits, wood spirits, and divinely bestowed evil spirits, for the first time since becoming a Flame Spider.

There is absolutely no solution.

But after all, these were God-given seeds, so I couldn't bear to throw them away. I rinsed them in the canal and wrapped them up again...

"Jin, what are you putting it away for?"

The Sikui Mountain Master raised his paw to stop him and suggested, "Try burying it in a different place for a few more days. Maybe it'll be like a normal calla lily tuber, which needs to be buried underground for a while before it can take root and sprout."

gold:"……"

The Sikui Mountain Master said, "Gold, Silver, it's time for you to use your Force Food to prepare for your next stage of evolution."

"Jin, your divinely gifted golden leaf vine seed needs to be transformed into a seed and retracted into the life capsule for strengthening. Perfect, bury this piece of taro on the mound where the golden leaf vine took root. If you have nothing else to do, you can guard it."

Jin agreed, "Master Sikui's arrangement is very reasonable!"

Sikui Mountain Master added, "There's one more thing. I negotiated with Lord Famu a month ago about those 14 raw crystals. I'll exchange them for 14 raw stones, and you'll get 4 per year. You two stay at your own risk and don't run around. I'll go to Rosewood Peak and bring the raw stones back."
