Chapter 96 Contract Manufacturing

Chapter 96 Contract Manufacturing (Part 1)

Trading in Force Foods has high barriers to entry and requires a great deal of knowledge.

The first hurdle: Strength
The joint trading fleet of the Flame Spider Kingdom and the Ivory Island Kingdom transports goods worth approximately 4 million raw gems to the Southern Continent annually. With such a large fortune, it's difficult to guarantee that no Zerg warrior will harbor ill intentions.

The ocean is teeming with malevolent spirits, and the food made with the Force naturally attracts them. Cargo ships sailing at sea are always at risk of being attacked by these spirits.

The southern continent is also fraught with danger.

For long-distance trade, one must first have the combat capability to protect the goods; otherwise, it's not just delivering goods, but also risking one's life.

The second hurdle: Communication skills
Many Zerg warriors are only good at farming and not good at communicating with other Zerg.

The third hurdle: Be familiar with and memorize every type of Force food, and master the pricing rules.

The trade with the southern continent involved more than 2700 divine seeds and more than 2100 different kinds of plants.

As for common plants, the number of varieties exceeds ten thousand.

Different plants, different enhancement types, different qualities.

The same plant can produce different levels of Force food depending on the warrior's evolution level.

The same plant, nurtured into life seeds by different warriors, produces food of varying quality even at the same evolutionary level.

This has led to tens of thousands of different pricing options.

Rote memorization is definitely not enough; one must have rich experience, a deep enough understanding, mastery of pricing rules, and the ability to accurately price various kinds of Force foods.

The Flame Spider Kingdom's trading fleet consists of only 30 official trading spiders, as only they possess the right to negotiate prices with other races. In addition, there are newly promoted lord-level Flame Spider warriors who are trained under their guidance, as well as combat-oriented Flame Spider warriors specializing in escort duties, totaling 30 individuals.

A total of 60 Flame Spider Warriors participated in the Southern Continent trade, divided into two groups, with a four-year term in which they took turns serving.

...

With its bluish-purple bristles and carapace, Jin stands out conspicuously among the spiders.

The first and only Flame Spider warrior in the history of the Flame Spider tribe with lightning-type talent.

Jin is quite famous in the Flame Spider Kingdom; every insect knows him and recognizes him.

Blessed by the true God of Nature, the first life seed was a divine gift. But joy turned to sorrow, the life sac was damaged, and it could only nurture one life seed...

The three Spider Kings, Kashiki, Wuyou, and the Five Schools, sympathized with Jin's plight and supported its efforts to become self-reliant through trade. They made an exception and allowed Lord Famu to bring Jin and Yin into the warehouse, rummage through the goods, and provide on-site instruction, introducing Jin and Yin to each type of Force food.

It provides detailed information on the produced seeds, enhancement effects, origin, grade, quality, and pricing.

It took three days and three nights to get a basic understanding of the situation.

Of course, pricing rules are not so easy to grasp.

Having broadened my horizons and gained a basic understanding, handling transactions between the two islands of Salvation should not be a major problem.

...

Pokeweed, 5 years.

It's the season when sea lemon flowers are in full bloom.

Silk Sunflower Mountain,
The silk palm seeds, a gift from the gods, bloom simultaneously, while last year's fruits ripen and are harvested.

A swarm of Flame Spider Warriors, like locusts, swept in, helped eat the fruit peels and pulp, and then swept away.

Jin is now a level 4 intermediate warrior and has started helping the master of Sikui Mountain with his work.

Freshly picked sunflower seeds were spread out to dry on the hardened drying ground at the top of the mountain, and Jin was responsible for guarding them to prevent birds from pecking at them.

Beside the drying ground was a cliff more than 20 meters high. Jin didn't want to waste a single moment, climbing up and down the cliff to train his vertical climbing ability, physical strength and patience.

"Sikui!"

"Gold! Silver..."

The spiritual energy from the shout of the Red Cone Mountain Master came from below the mountain. The powerful spiritual energy swept across from left to right and then from right to left, before turning back and freezing on Jin's body for two seconds before rapidly retreating.

"..."

Jin knew something was wrong, so he quickly climbed to the top of the cliff and looked down.

Three large spiders arrived, their carapaces covered with sacs of silk.

One end is the Lord of Red Cone Mountain, another looks like Lord Famu, and the third is...

The next moment, a deep and powerful spiritual force came directly over, "Jin, go back to the cave, let's try out that divinely bestowed food processing equipment."

Lord of the Western Serpents!

Jin immediately understood what was going on.

Last year, I made an agreement with the Lord of the Western Serpent. The divine-given Western Serpent Seeds produced in its territory would be exchanged for divine-given primal force food needed for the Spider King's evolution. The food would be sent to Silk Sunflower Mountain for processing, so as to accumulate resources for future evolution and growth after breaking through to become the Spider King.

There's a 1% commission; it's practically free money.

Jin rushed down the cliff, looked at the sunflower seeds that were drying on the ground, thought for a moment, and then quickly retrieved the spider silk bag, tied it up, and carried it down the mountain.

...

Shanbei,

The courtyard in front of the cave was leveled and reinforced with soil and rocks. Lord West Serpent took the lead, followed closely by Lord Famu and Lord Red Cone Mountain.

"Purple Hair, what are you doing climbing up and down the rock face on the mountaintop?" Lord West Serpent asked.

"To improve vertical climbing ability."

Jin replied, explaining, "When you're trading, you travel around and inevitably encounter rough roads. I'm just practicing my legwork."

"Uh……"

Lord West Serpent praised, "Diligent and self-disciplined little spider, you have a bright future!"

Lord Famu asked, "Where is the Silk Spider in the middle of the morning?"

Jin replied, "The Silk Sunflower God-given seed has yielded a bountiful harvest. It went hunting in the jungle, saying it's going to give the little spiders an extra meal tonight."

"..."

"Silk Sunflower is only one spider, yet it has to take care of so many little Flame Spiders. It must be really difficult for it."

Lord Famu sighed and waved his paw in acknowledgment.

They entered the cave's living room together and unloaded their cargo.

The Western Serpent Lord exchanged divinely bestowed food of king-level quality, a wide variety of items, packaged in three large spider silk bags. There were also five storage boxes for sealing.

"Jin, are five boxes enough?"

"Enough, more than enough."

"How exactly does this device work?"

"Lord West Serpent, don't press the buttons randomly, let me do it, let me do it..."

Jin opened the spider silk bag of the West Serpent Lord to take a look. Inside were several smaller spider silk bags. He opened them again and found 17 kinds of divinely bestowed primal force foods, mainly fire-based with a few other types.

Jin asked, "Lord West Serpent, are you going to eat all of this yourself? Can we mix them together?"

"Of course!"

Lord West Serpent asked, "The quantity is too small to make a whole case, is that right?"

"Yes."

Jin asked, "Then let's simply summarize it into two systems: elemental fire and a hybrid system?"

"sure, no problem!"

The West Serpent Lord agreed, took a small spider silk pouch from his carapace, handed it to Jin, and said:

"This is the reward. I heard from Lord Famu that you are practicing spider silk combat? And you plan to strengthen your internal organs to indirectly strengthen your silk glands and spider silk? I think your idea is very good, so I specially picked out a batch for you."

“We agreed on a 1% service fee? I'll round it up for you and give you 1.”

"Thank you, Lord West Serpent!"

"Lord of the West Serpent, please open the treasure chest..."

Jin expressed his gratitude, skillfully opened the back cover, and refilled the equipment with raw stones.

Next, open the side cover and fill 20 gene agent containers.

Next, open the top cover, manipulate the spider silk bag to float and tilt, and fill it with Force food.

Finally, a specially made metal bucket is placed at the rear of the equipment.

The equipment starts up, the tail hatch pops open automatically, and after a short while, the by-product of the refining and processing, 'granular fertilizer', falls into the metal barrel with a clinking sound.

"Lord West Serpent, these are a mixture of crushed woody fruit pits and excess kernels, all containing primordial energy. You can take them back to use as 'primordial energy fertilizer' for ordinary life plants; the effect should be quite good."

"One thing to note is that the 'fertilizer' produced from processing fire-type divinely bestowed food can only be used on fire-type life seeds. Similarly, the fertilizer produced from processing system-type divinely bestowed food is best used on system-type life plants."

"Understand!"

Lord West Serpent exclaimed, "The creations of this alien civilization are truly remarkable. They have made 100% use of the divinely bestowed food with primal force, without wasting a single drop."

Lord Famu remarked casually, "How could such a powerful civilization have been buried underground?"

"It's probably because they angered the true god of nature, right?"

"It's very likely that it's too powerful and threatens our natural civilization."

"Other reasons, perhaps?"

"What else could be the reason?"

"Have we encountered a more powerful civilization?"

Four Spiders Chatting.

quickly,

The characters on the device screen are flashing and jumping, indicating a message.

Jin opened the side cover, took out a gene agent container to check it, confirmed it was correct, and put it back in.

Open the top feed hopper cover, fill with Yuanli Food, and start the equipment.

Everyone continued chatting.
