Dawn Spider

Chapter 99 I voted for this project!
……

"100?"

The Lord of the West Serpent immediately flew into a rage.

Do you think I'm a stupid spider? That I'm so easily fooled by raw gems?
Not only Lord Xishe, but also Lord Famu and Lord Hongzhui Mountain, who were traveling with him, looked at Jin with unnatural expressions.

—Aren't you being too greedy, little spider?

The Lord of the West Serpent is wealthy, but he's not stupid either!
—You cheated me out of 5 raw stones last time, and now you're doing it again! You're even going to escalate things further!
Standing to the side, Yin calmly, even somewhat disgruntled, questioned, "Fourth Brother, only 100 million? Isn't that too cheap?"

Jin said matter-of-factly, "Angel round investment, venture capital, should have a return of ten times or a hundred times."

Yin said, "Lord Famu is our elder, so why not let Lord Famu do it? We shouldn't let the spider, who has no blood relation to us, benefit from this."

Lord Famu bristled upon hearing this: What are you two talking about?
The Western Serpent Lord glanced at him coldly.

Lord Red Cone Mountain quickly smoothed things over, saying, "These two little guys have been mischievous since they were little. They're just trying to amuse you two lords, haha."

Yin said seriously, "We are serious. While my fourth brother and I were managing and taking care of it, we have also been carefully observing it for several years. We have analyzed it carefully, and the fruit of the God-given Seed of Pokeweed is definitely worth more than 100 million raw stones."

Yin tentatively asked, "Fourth Brother, why don't you demonstrate your abilities to Lord Famu?"

Jin hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "We can wait for Lord Sikui to return and ask him what he thinks?"

"Hey!"

"what are you guys saying?"

"ability?"

Boom! Boom!
The Lord of Red Cone Mountain swiftly raised his claw and forcefully struck Gold and Silver's heads, scolding, "What ability? How come I don't know? You two bastards, what's wrong with you not telling me?"

Lord Famu was equally puzzled and asked, "Jin, you just mentioned 'ability'?"

The West Serpent Lord then asked, "Purple Hair, have you comprehended an ability?"

Lord Famu pressed further, "What ability? Even I can't know?"

"..."

Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not a regular elemental ability. It should be a kind of alien power that came about as a result of the mutation of my lightning talent."

The Western Serpent Lord's eyes blazed with crimson light as he said, "I know that! It's a power similar to the Divine Seed of the Pokeweed, isn't it?"

Jin answered honestly, "Yes!"

The West Serpent Lord suddenly became impatient and snapped, "Purple Hair! Enough with the nonsense! What exactly is your ability? Show it to me and Famu right now!"

Yin quickly chimed in, saying, "Lord Sikui instructed us not to tell anyone or to boast about it."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Yin was hit hard three times.

Lord Famu roared in fury: "If you say another word, when Sikui comes back, I'll beat it up too!"

"Ch..."

Silver glanced at Gold, his eyes signaling: The atmosphere is right, Fourth Brother.
Jin didn't waste any more words. After a brief moment of preparation, he moved his body about 1 meter to the side in a flash.

"!!!"

Instantly, both the Western Serpent and Lord Famu stared wide-eyed.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain jumped up and shouted, "Displacement ability? This is truly not a conventional elemental power! How did you do that?"

Jin explained in detail: "I named this ability 'Blink'."

"This kind of alien power cannot be directly enhanced by any primal energy food. It can only be strengthened by absorbing natural primal energy and converting it into primal energy. The blinking ability increases with the strengthening."

"This kind of alien power is of an extremely high level. It requires absorbing a large amount of primal force to convert even a tiny bit of it. In total, the enhancement effect is no worse than that of ordinary divinely bestowed primal force food. The only drawback is that the conversion efficiency is extremely low. The rate of improvement through meditation is as slow as the evolution and growth of the divinely bestowed seed of pokeweed."

“We can use Primal Stones to accelerate, but the cost is too high.” Jin said proactively, “My growth plan is that before the Mountain Lord level, I will focus on the system, and after the Mountain Lord level, I will focus on lightning-based power, supplemented by other types of power.”

"..."

The Lords of the Western Serpent, Famu, and Red Cone Mountain remained silent.

Fearing another beating, Yin moved to hide behind Jin and asked, "Isn't the ability that Fourth Brother has mastered amazing?"

Lord West Serpent replied frankly, "Very impressive! In the future, if the distance of the blink displacement can be increased to one hundred meters or one thousand meters, then this will be an extremely powerful and widely applicable ability!"

Yin said seriously, "That's why I said the fruit produced by the God-given Seed of Pokeweed is definitely worth more than 100 million raw stones!"

Yin said, "My fourth brother and I discussed and deduced that special divinely bestowed seeds like the Golden Rain Tree, Golden Leaf Vine, and Pokeweed Divine Seed might produce fruits that directly grant an ability."

"The principle behind this is not difficult to understand..."

"Ordinary elemental foods, such as fire-type elemental foods, especially those produced by fire-type divine seeds, are consumed in large quantities by our Flame Spider Warriors. With proper strengthening and some understanding of elemental power, they are able to comprehend corresponding fire abilities."

"Golden Leaf Vine, Golden Rain Tree, and Pokeweed Seed are divinely bestowed seeds with a higher innate life level than ordinary divinely bestowed seeds. Therefore, their fruits may allow Zerg warriors to skip the tedious process of accumulation, hard training, comprehension, and enlightenment, and directly be granted an ability!"

This is a sudden inspiration Jin had after gaining the 'blinking' ability through the Time-Space Cube, and some speculations about the effects of the fruit produced by the Golden Leaf Vine and the God-given Seed of Pokeweed.

I shared this with Yin during a casual chat.

Yin has a good memory; he copied it word for word.

The three giant spiders—the West Serpent Lord, the Famu Lord, and the Red Cone Mountain Lord—stopped, becoming unusually quiet, lost in thought.

"its not right!"

The Western Serpent Lord suddenly realized something, slammed his forelegs on the ground, and said angrily:
“I don’t have that kind of alien talent. Besides, Purple Hair, there shouldn’t be another Zerg warrior with this kind of alien power besides you, right? I can’t use the pokeweed fruit, and I can’t sell it.”

“This is indeed…”

Jin said, "I have two more speculations: First, comprehension ability requires talent, but if it's an ability that's directly bestowed, could it work even without the corresponding talent?"

"My second hypothesis is that the fruits produced by the Golden Leaf Vine and the Divine Seed of Pokeweed, while granting abilities, can also stimulate the awakening of talents. This is not just a wild guess; I have communicated and consulted with the Golden Leaf Vine, and it feels that this is possible."

"Lord of the West Serpent, if that's the case, then you've hit the jackpot. You can also master a second element besides fire, an extraordinary and unique power."

"Including the Golden Leaf Vine, a divinely bestowed seed, which is water-based, will its fruit, while granting abilities, also stimulate the Zerg warriors to awaken water-based talents?"

Lord West Serpent repeatedly denied it, saying, "How could that be! Impossible!"

The Western Serpent Lord was intrigued and asked suspiciously, "Purple Hair, does the Golden Leaf Vine somehow sense the effects of the fruit it produces?"

Jin replied vaguely, "A little. It should become clearer after it evolves and grows a bit more."

Yin said, "The essence of primal energy talent is that primal life forms have derived corresponding primal energy genes. Theoretically speaking, this possibility exists."

Jin continued, "Venture capital is high risk, high return. Lord West Serpent, think about it, what if you awakened your water-based talent and mastered water-based abilities? What if you awakened an alien talent and mastered alien abilities..."

"Having awakened your talent, you can even comprehend abilities on your own. Perhaps, Lord West Serpent, you too can comprehend my kind of blinking ability!"

As Jin spoke, he dodged three times in succession, his body shifting three meters to the side.

The Western Serpent Lord's eyes lit up.

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Lord Famu raised his paw to interrupt, scolding, "Gold, Silver, you two, stop fooling around. Don't you still have six Primal Crystals from last time? 60,000 Primal Stones is enough to supply the Golden Leaf Vine and the God-given Seed of Pokeweed for a year's growth. I'll report this to the Wood Spider King and see what it thinks. If we run out of Primal Stones later, I can help borrow some from the Wood Spider King..."

"and many more!"

The Western Serpent Lord interrupted, raising his claw, and said, "Famu, there's no need to disturb the Wood Spider King with such a trivial matter. I'll invest in this venture! The God-given Seed of Pokeweed, right? I'll invest 100 million Primal Stones!"
