Chapter 107 The Grand Plan Depicted by Zishan, Election Meeting

Zi Ai asked incredulously, "Are all these divinely bestowed food items stored in your warehouse?"

Upon hearing Zi Ai's words, the Round Purple Flame Spider Warrior was immediately displeased: "This Rhinoceros Golden Turtle Warrior, don't talk nonsense. How could our Hundred Flowers Caravan possibly sell something we don't have?"

Of course, if you arrive too late and the God-given Force food is sold out, there's nothing we can do.

However, the probability of this is very small. We will remove any Force food that has sold out from the list.

Unless they sell out today and you happen to come to buy them today, you won't encounter this situation.

Hearing the other party's confident words, the two brothers no longer doubted them. In fact, there was nothing to doubt; judging from the size of the shop, they knew that their caravan was quite powerful.

Caravans of this caliber trade with large tribes on the continent whose insect populations exceed ten thousand. Although there may be some boasting and exaggeration in their words, it's not enough to deceive mere high-ranking warriors.

The two brothers carefully examined the names and prices of the Force foods on the parchment, and then confirmed the effects and approximate quality of these Force foods by searching their inherited memories.

They soon noticed that, judging by their grade and quality, these divinely bestowed foods were somewhat expensive, but still within their acceptable range.

"Hello, do you have samples of these divinely inspired foods?"

Although the Purple Flame Spider Warriors were somewhat arrogant in their attitude towards them, that was only when they were boasting about their caravan. It didn't mean they dared to ignore all the questions raised by their customers: "I'm sorry, due to the large number of customers and the variety of Force foods in our shop, it's not convenient to display samples."

If you find suitable Force food, you can go directly to the shop and buy it from the Round Purple Flame Spider Warriors who are working.

If you buy Force food and are not satisfied, you can return it on the spot.

"Understood." After understanding the rules of the shop, the two brothers no longer hesitated. They spread the parchment on the ground to check the various types of Force food and discussed which Force food to buy.

On this parchment, they also saw divinely bestowed primal force foods produced by divinely bestowed seeds that were not suitable for growth on the Thousand Tree Continent.

The two brothers were greatly intrigued. They remembered that the continent next to the Thousand Tree Continent was called the Thousand Hills Continent, where the ant and bee races mainly established kingdoms.

Some ants also possess the potential for strength-based talents, and they tend to cultivate plants that enhance strength. Naturally, the probability of nurturing such plants as life seeds and cultivating divinely bestowed seeds is greatly increased.

After discussing it for a while, the two brothers decided on the quantity and type of Force food they wanted to buy. They chose a window with fewer insects to queue up, and it was soon their turn.

"I want to purchase 20 pieces of the advanced-grade Divine Giant Plate, 50 pieces of Divine Pine Nuts, and 50 pieces of Divine Weeping Cypress Seeds."

grain----"

Zi Ai came to the windowsill and rattled off more than a dozen kinds of divinely bestowed primal force foods, but the quantity she bought was not large and did not attract the attention of the other insects.

In fact, any Zerg warrior who is even slightly wealthy will buy some to try when they first come to the Hundred Flowers Shop and see so many kinds of God-given Force foods.

Even if it's impossible to continuously consume God-given Force food for enhancement, eating a little occasionally can still have a very good enhancement effect.

The round purple flame spider warrior working in the shop, according to Zi Ai's request, combined various divinely bestowed primal force foods, filled a small spider silk bag, and handed it to her: "Thank you for your patronage, 2000 primal stones."

The yew readily accepted the bag containing the divinely bestowed food, but instead of paying immediately, it opened the spider silk bag and scanned it with its mental power. After confirming that the quantity and quality were correct, Zi Ai took out two Spider King Scrolls with a face value of 1000 and handed them to the other party.

The Hundred Flowers Shop is indeed powerful; they can buy almost half a month's worth of Force food from just this one shop.

After purchasing the goods, the two brothers left Lotus Island Mall and returned to their residence.

When they returned, they found that most of the Rhinoceros Beetle Warriors had already returned, and many of them had already gone back to their nests to eat Force food.

The two brothers did not delay and returned to their nest to begin distributing the divinely bestowed food they had purchased.

As expected of a large trading caravan spanning two continents, the Hundred Flowers Shops had excellent control over the pricing of the God-given Force foods. The price of each type of God-given Force food was at a level that was slightly premium but still acceptable to the Zerg warriors.

"This is a divine gift of tiger thorn seeds; its effect is to strengthen and sharpen the limbs. We don't need to eat too many; let's each get 50."

grain."

Zishan took out the divinely bestowed food and counted it: "The divinely bestowed giant plate is for amplifying power; we will each take 1..."

Zero grains?

"Okay!" The two brothers each took a spider silk bag and distributed the divinely bestowed food they had bought.

"These divinely bestowed pine nuts are great for strengthening fat reserves, but the kernels are too small. Should we divide them evenly or what?"

"This little bit of divinely bestowed food will only last us half a month, so let's divide it all equally!"

"That works too. The divine gift of the weeping cypress has the effect of strengthening the limbs, which is a relatively singular function, but our running training also has a great need for strengthening the limbs—"

This time, they purchased more than a dozen kinds of divinely bestowed food. In addition to the ones mentioned above, there was also a divinely bestowed defensive food that enhances metal-type defense. This was given to the yew tree to increase the defensive power of its steel armor.

God-given hooves enhance strength and endurance; God-given orchid fragrance enhances overall endurance.

After distributing all the God-given Force food, the two brothers immediately started eating and chatting.

Zi Ai asked Zi Shan, "Are you really going to compete for the position of battalion commander at the Jia-hao Coastal Defense Training Camp tomorrow?"

As Zishan ate the divinely bestowed food, she calmly said, "If I were to compete, would there be any opponent who could defeat me?"

Over the past two weeks, it has proven its strength by fighting against numerous Zerg warriors.

At least within the Type A coastal defense training camp, which primarily focuses on strength-based talent and potential, it has few rivals. Within the sixth team of the training camp, there are even fewer insects that can withstand a single blow from it.

"Since you've decided to compete, I won't. I originally planned to be the captain, but since you want to stay here, I'll definitely have to go back and help Zihuai manage the territory, otherwise one insect can't handle it all."

That way I don't even have to compete for the squad leader position.

The yew tree already had a plan in mind: "This is what I think. I'll nurture my tree this year, and it will blossom and bear fruit next year."

I wonder how many years it takes for a seed of destiny at an advanced stage to ripen?

Once we've all produced our life seeds, let's discuss with Purple Locust whether we can supply all of our output to one of you insects for consumption and evolution.

You all grew up eating food blessed with divine power. If you eat it with some super-grade divine cherries, you might have a chance to awaken your talents at an advanced stage.

"Whoever awakens their talent will come to Lotus Island and swap places with me. If the three of us awaken our talents at the advanced stage, we might be able to compete for the positions of three battalion commanders in the Type A Coastal Defense Training Camp."

"Compete for three battalion commander positions?" Zi Ai was very tempted when she heard Zi Shan's words. There were only 6 battalions in the Class A training camp. If they could really compete for three battalion commander positions, it would be equivalent to occupying half of the Class A training camp.

Even if we consider the entire training camp on Lotus Island, there are only about sixty battalions in total, with more than 6000 Zerg warriors training here. And there are very few Zerg warriors from different tribes who can occupy more than three positions as battalion commanders.

If they could really achieve that, even the large tribes on the island with populations exceeding 5000 would no longer dare to underestimate them.

After all, for Zerg warriors, their primary concern is the tribe's wealth, which is closely related to the quantity of the God-given Seeds.

Although their tribes do not have many divinely bestowed seeds, the yew life sacs can continuously nurture these seeds, indicating considerable future potential.

The Zerg warriors also value the size of the Zerg population; only with a large enough population can the tribe hope to survive.

This is a major weakness for the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe. Their main Rhinoceros Beetle force only has a little over 300 Rhinoceros Beetle warriors, and even if you add up the Zerg warriors from their subordinate tribes, the total is only a little over 600.

Fortunately, they are still on Banana Island, where they have a stable living environment. They also ask the Flame Spider Merchants to help them find baby warriors and send them back to their tribe every year, so they still have enough time to develop.

In addition, the number of insects in a tribe is closely related to the area of ​​territory it can occupy. Their tribe's current territory is not large enough, but Sang Island is large enough. As long as Sang Island can be developed, there will be no worries about managing territory for at least a thousand years.

In addition, another war potential needs to be added to the Thousand Star Islands. In order to prevent attacks from the Sea Beast Kingdom, the combat strength of the Zerg warriors has been listed as a key selection criterion, second only to the tribal wealth.

The reason their tribes are now looked down upon and ostracized is simply because they are small and have little wealth.

But once they are allowed to demonstrate their extraordinary war potential, naturally no insect will dare to underestimate them anymore.

Zi Ai said with interest, "My destiny seed will start to bloom and bear fruit this year. Together with Zi Huai's destiny seed, the annual output will be nearly 4 raw stones."

"This year, let's see if we can purchase some divinely bestowed Force food with enhanced metal affinity from the Hundred Caravans."

"If the Hundred Caravan doesn't have it, then buy some from the Lotus Island Mall."

Zi Ai shook her antennae: "The prices of the divinely bestowed food at Lotus Island Mall are too expensive. Buying a little is fine, but buying too much is really a bit of a waste."

The price of divinely bestowed food is already high. In previous years, when their tribe traded with the caravans of the Hundred Tribes, they bought divinely bestowed food from them at a 3% premium.

The premium on the Divine Power Foods at Lotus Island Mall has reached 5%. This amount may not sound like much, but a closer look reveals that the price is quite alarming.

A single Mountain Lord-level Divine Blessed Seed produces an average of 5 Primogems per year. If all of them are bought up by the Flame Spider Merchant and sold at a 5% premium, then 2500 Primogems can be earned, which is equivalent to the output of two or three ordinary Life Seeds of a Mountain Lord-level Zerg Warrior.

How many Life Spawn does a Mountain Lord-level Zerg warrior possess? In their very primitive social state, this is already a very high profit.

Not to mention that the Flame Spider Merchants also like to trade goods, and after just a few transactions, their profits can reach 20% to 30%.

"We'll talk about that next year. For now, this is the plan. We'll discuss it with King Qingzhu and Lord Zili then to see if there's a better arrangement."

"That works too." Zi Ai knew that this wasn't something that could be decided in a short time.

"Besides the position of battalion commander, competing for the position of squad leader can also demonstrate our strength, so everyone should strive for this position."

"Shall we discuss this with everyone?"

"That's what I said too."

The two brothers ate some of the divinely bestowed food and saved the rest for later.

Then he left the nest and came to the hall, using his spiritual power to summon the Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors for a meeting.

One by one, the rhinoceros beetle warriors crawled out of the nest, looking at the two yew brothers with some confusion, wondering why they had suddenly gathered everyone out together.

Zishan didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Ziai and I discussed it, and tomorrow is the day to elect the captains of the sixth team."

My goal is to become the captain, but the squad leader position is also very important. There are 33 Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors on this trip, so I should at least get two squad leader positions to meet the standard, but my goal is not limited to that.

My idea is that, in addition to competing for the position of battalion commander, it would be best if all five squad leader positions were obtained by our Rhino Turtle Warriors, with a minimum requirement of obtaining at least three squad leader positions.

So I'd like to discuss with everyone how to arrange things for tomorrow.

"————" Upon hearing Zishan's words, the insects were speechless for a moment. This guy was far too ambitious, actually wanting to take over all the positions of captain and squad leader.

However, upon closer examination, they realized that this matter might actually have some merit.

Needless to say, the yew awakened dual-elemental talents and is basically unrivaled in the sixth team.

The strength of Qingyulan and Ziai is also not bad. In battles against insectoid warriors who have not awakened their elemental talents, their Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors still have a great advantage.

Moreover, both of them evolved by consuming divinely bestowed primal energy food during their initial and intermediate stages, and their physical attributes have reached the peak of their respective levels. The only thing they lack is the awakening of elemental talents. They should be confident of securing the positions of the two squad leaders.

As for the positions of the remaining three squad leaders, that's up to fate.

Thinking of this, Qingyulan took the initiative to say, "I will run for the position of squad leader of the first squad, and Ziai will run for the position of squad leader of the second squad. That way, there will be two squad leader positions, and the remaining squad leader positions will depend on luck."

""

Zi Ai said, "If Zi Shan stays here, I will have to go back to the tribe to manage the life seed, so I will not participate in the election for the squad leader position."

"Then this—" At this point, Qingyulan didn't know what to say. The insect warriors of the Thousand Star Islands were not to be trifled with. It was not confident of defeating other insects, let alone the other Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors who were inferior to it.

In this situation, let alone taking all the squad leader positions, it would be quite good if we could keep even one position.

Ziyu and Zizhang exchanged a glance, then shook their antennae and said, "Zizhang and I can try to compete for the squad leader position, but we can't guarantee that we'll win." They were insects with elders, and they had eaten a lot of divinely bestowed primal energy food when they were young.

Since the intermediate stage, the male mulberry trees of the yew have been pollinated by the divinely bestowed seeds that bloom, and they have also obtained some Primal Stones as a result. The Primal Food they eat every year is quite good, which is why they dare to say that they want to try to run for the position of squad leader.

Zishan pondered for a moment, then looked at Tiannanxing, the warrior with the forked rhinoceros horn: "Tiannanxing, what about you?"

Tian Nanxing said with a forced smile, "I'll give it a try, but I'm not absolutely certain I'll win."

Although it possesses a divinely bestowed seed as its life seed, it obtained the divinely bestowed seed somewhat late, and in its early years it lived in the wild, and the various primal force foods it ate were not very good, so its physical enhancement did not reach the limit of the same level.

Only after obtaining the God-given Seed could they purchase some Force Foods that strengthened their physique and improved their physical qualities to restore balance.

Having received its response, Zishan then looked at the sea creature giant herring warrior, Kelp: "Kelp, you possess water-based talents, which gives you an advantage in battles on Lotus Island. You should also try to compete for it."

Seeing the yew tree looking at it, the seaweed reluctantly said, "Then I'll give it a try too."

The yew tree twitched its antennae, thinking that regardless of whether it would work out in the end, it would still try to make a profit.

"Alright then, Qingyulan, Ziyu, Zizhang, Tiannanxing, and Haidai, you five insects will run for squad leader. Our goal is to secure second place and strive for fifth!"
