Chapter 121 "Green Fruit, hold down Purple Plum!"

Chapter 121 "Green Fruit, hold down Purple Plum!"

"Initially, the male mulberry tree produced more than 20,000 flowers. After advancing to the advanced stage, the quality of the flowers will definitely increase, but the quantity should not increase, and even if it does, it won't increase much."

Taking the first male mulberry tree as a reference, the number of flowers blooming on the two male mulberry trees should be about the same, which is a total of 4 flowers.

If arranged properly, it can pollinate 80 female flowers.

A normal mulberry tree can produce more than 5 flowers at a time. In other words, under normal circumstances, my two male mulberry trees can pollinate a total of 16 female mulberry trees.

I have one female mulberry tree seedling, and three mulberry tree seedlings each for the purple locust and purple artemisia. In total, I need 35 pollen samples, and I have 45 pollen samples remaining.

According to my plan, the total number of life seeds of all the Twin Rhinoceros Golden Turtle warriors currently at the advanced stage within the tribe will be tallied, and the 45 pollen samples will be distributed equally according to the total number of life seeds tallied. What do you think, Green Bamboo Armor King?

To Zishan's surprise, the Green Bamboo King rejected its arrangement without hesitation: "I don't think so!"

The yew's antennae paused slightly. It felt that its line of thinking was quite correct and didn't think there would be any problems.

Somewhat puzzled, it tentatively asked, "King Green Bamboo Armor, is there something wrong with my arrangement?"

"Of course it's inappropriate, and very inappropriate," King Qingzhu said in a deep voice. "You only considered the high-ranking warriors of the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe, but I see that you haven't considered the Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors of other affiliated tribes at all."

Zishan was even more puzzled. Not only it, but also the Green Fruit Lord and Purple Plum Lord beside it showed doubt in their eyes.

Other rhinoceros beetle tribes were merely subordinate tribes, and the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle tribe had only a cooperative relationship with them. The two-pronged rhinoceros beetle tribe allocated territory to them and protected them as they grew.

Once they grow up, they can also do some work for the Diplodocus beetle tribe, which is why the two sides can live in harmony and friendship.

If they encounter a situation similar to that of Tiannanxing, the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe will lend them some raw stones, but if they want more help, it will be difficult.

The reason for this is that their tribe, the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle tribe, was not wealthy.

Such a good thing as doubling the value of the warriors' life essence production is naturally prioritized for one's own tribe, allowing one's fellow tribe members to benefit first.

It was clear from the Green Bamboo King's meaning that he intended for the Yew to distribute all the excess pollen equally. Although the share of 450,000 portions of pollen was large, the number of insect warriors in the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe was even greater.

The entire tribe has 600 Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors, of which only about 100 are of the Mountain Lord level or above.

Even including the many junior warriors brought back by the Flame Spider Merchant in recent years, there are still less than a hundred Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors in the junior high school stage. The remaining 300-plus are all advanced Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors.

If you were to divide the 450,000 pollen samples evenly, each insect would probably only receive a little over 1000 samples.

Based on this calculation, it would be quite remarkable if each insect could generate an additional 200 primal stones in revenue.

As an old king that has lived for hundreds of years, it should understand that if all insects benefit, it is equivalent to no insects benefiting at all.

200 Primogems won't help any insects. On the contrary, if these resources were concentrated on a few insects, that many Primogems would be enough to help several insects advance to the rank of Mountain Lord.

The Green Bamboo King ignored the two lords' extremely puzzled looks and looked at Zishan slowly, saying, "Zishan, if you only have a few divinely bestowed life seeds, and only have a little hope for advancing to Insect King in the future, or if the primal force food is just enough for your own consumption, then your idea and allocation plan are correct."

But you are different. From a young age, you were able to nurture your life into a divinely bestowed seed. This is a gift from the true God of nature.

With this ability, you are destined to lead the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe to greatness and make it the most powerful tribe on the Thousand Trees Continent.

Therefore, you need to broaden your horizons and not be too narrow-minded. Thus, your vision cannot be limited to yourself, or even to our own tribe.

Aside from our Two-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle tribe, the other rhinoceros beetle tribes possess no less potential than us. If you want them to become your allies in the future, you must show them favor in advance, and this is a very good start.

Lord Purple Plum did not agree with King Green Bamboo Armor's words. It was not afraid of the other party and retorted rather impolitely: "King Green Bamboo Armor, even if you want to bestow favors, it is not about giving your own wealth to other insects, is it?"

If we really want to show them kindness, we can allocate more land to them on Zan Island, allowing them to manage their own territory and cultivate the divinely bestowed seeds.

Anyway, there's plenty of land over there; even our Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe can't cultivate it all.

As is the case with the yew, even if the divinely bestowed seeds of the male mulberry trees could produce more flowers, it would be impossible to supply all the rhinoceros tortoise warriors.

I still maintain that the pollen from the divinely bestowed seeds of the male mulberry tree should be prioritized for supplying the warriors within the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe.

The Green Bamboo King was not angered by Lord Purple Plum's rebuttal. Instead, he looked at it calmly and asked a rather philosophical question: "Wealth? Purple Plum, what do you consider wealth?"

Just as Lord Purple Plum was about to answer that the primal force food produced by the Life Seed was wealth, it immediately realized that King Green Bamboo Armor would not ask such a simple question. It lowered its head and carefully considered King Green Bamboo Armor's question.

Seeing that it didn't respond, the Green Bamboo King turned to Lord Green Fruit: "Green Fruit, what do you consider wealth?"

Lord Green Fruit hadn't expected King Green Bamboo to suddenly ask it, and it lowered its head to think carefully.

Then, Qingzhu Jiawang turned to Zishan and asked, "Zishan, what is wealth in your opinion?"

After a moment's thought, Zishan replied, "In my opinion, the wealth of the Zerg warriors should first and foremost be the life seed they cultivate. The life seed lives and dies with the Zerg warriors and can continuously produce Force food to support their growth. This is a kind of wealth."

"Do you think there are any other forms of wealth?"

Zishan carefully recalled the teachings of the Lord of Zehui Mountain: "Of course there are. Wild divinely bestowed seeds are the second kind of wealth belonging to the Zerg warriors."

Although wild Divine Seeds do not share life and death with Zerg warriors, once planted, they can continuously produce Force food, essentially serving the same purpose as Life Seeds.

"That counts as one type too."

"Land is also a kind of wealth. As long as they own land, Zerg warriors can select high-quality seeds to plant. Once a sea of ​​trees is formed, there is a greater chance of the birth of divine seeds. This is also the reason why our Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe migrated to Sang Island."

"You're right, is there anything else?"

Zishan buried his head in thought, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him: "Knowledge is also a kind of wealth. As long as you have enough knowledge, your knowledge and experience will be broader than other insects, and you will be able to obtain more opportunities."

Just like the Flame Spider Merchants, their kingdom possesses a vast reserve of knowledge, allowing them to travel freely across the Thousand Trees Continent.

"You're right, but I'd like to add something. Besides their own knowledge, the insect networks they establish are also a form of wealth for the Flame Spider Merchants."

"Insect vein relationships are also wealth?" Zishan looked bewildered. In its view, when the Flame Spider merchants came to their tribe to trade, they would haggle and argue for a long time over a few raw stones. This was just mutual exploitation. What kind of wealth was that?

Even if the relationship between the Hundred Tribes Caravan and their Rhinoceros Tortoise Tribe is very good, it is impossible for them to charge into battle for the Hundred Tribes Caravan, right?

Or could the caravan of a hundred tribes really be giving away Force food to the warriors of their Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe for free? That's impossible. In its view, it's just a simple transaction between the two sides.

The Azure Bamboo King's antennae gently tapped Zishan's head: "Zishan, where did you get your many top-tier life seeds?"

Upon hearing what the Green Bamboo Armor King said, Zishan suddenly realized that if that were the case, then the insect network of the Flame Spider Merchant was indeed a kind of wealth.

If the Zerg warriors who are on good terms with the Flame Spider Merchants can continuously obtain the top-tier tree species they possess to cultivate into Life Seeds, then doubling the Life Seed profits is not a problem.

"King Qingzhu, I understand."

The Green Bamboo King chuckled and swayed its tentacles: "No, you don't understand enough."

As it spoke, it looked at the two lords, Purple Plum and Green Fruit, who were deep in thought to themselves, and suddenly said, "Green Fruit, hold Purple Plum down."

Both Lords Qingguo and Zili were somewhat confused, but out of respect for the majesty of the Azure Bamboo King, Lord Qingguo obeyed its command and pressed Lord Zili down.

Although Lord Zili was full of doubts, he still obediently lay down and let Lord Qingguo hold him down.

At this moment, the Green Bamboo King asked, "Purple Fir, did you understand?"

The yew tree, equally bewildered, shook its antennae: "I don't understand."

The Green Bamboo Armor King said leisurely, "This is the power of the insect vein relationship. Look at me, if one day I want to deal with Purple Plum, I only need to give an order, and Green Fruit will capture Purple Plum just like today. Even Purple Plum itself will obediently be captured by me."

Even if it refuses to be captured, with just one command, the entire Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe, from novice warriors to lord-level warriors, will besiege Zi Li.

Lords Qingguo and Zili immediately understood what King Qingzhujia meant, but Zishan was still somewhat confused. It muttered to itself, "Isn't this because of King Qingzhujia's prestige? How did it become a matter of insect lineage?"

Green Bamboo King: "You think they obey because of my authority, but have you ever thought about where my authority comes from?"

Or, if they are able to submit to my authority, wouldn't that also be considered a kind of insect-line relationship?

"If I were to go to another tribe now, even if I were a king, would they seize their own tribal leader with a single command?"

"The relationship between insects originates from the relationship between insects. From the beginning, they may be equal or they may be superior or inferior to each other."

"When it asks nothing of you, your relationship is equal; when it asks something of you, the relationship immediately becomes hierarchical."

"I possess majesty because I am the only king-level warrior of the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe. I can protect the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe and establish itself on Elephant Banana Island. I can also lead the warriors of the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe to the Thousand Star Islands to expand their territory and give everyone a bright future."

Therefore, all obey me, follow my orders, and obey my commands. Wherever my tentacles point, all Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors will execute my orders without fail.

"On the contrary, if I only focus on my own growth and evolution, and plunder the wealth of all the Zerg warriors in the tribe, even if I am a king, would the other Zerg warriors in the tribe obey me? They would probably have driven me away or fled the territory long ago."

"The same principle applies to you. If you guard your wealth, even if your territory is filled with ore, the other Zerg warriors in the tribe will not benefit. Why should they obey you and follow you?"

If other Zerg or Orc warriors attack, will they help you?

"But if you are willing to share some of your wealth so that all the insects can benefit and know that following you will bring them food and energy, then in the future they will be your six legs extending outward, and they will be your helpers who can do whatever you want."

"The number of insectoid tribes on Xiangjiao Island is as numerous as the stars. If your secret is exposed in the future, the three of you brothers will not be able to protect your wealth."

"Do you know about the ant kingdoms on the Thousand Autumns Continent? Each of those ant kingdoms has only one king and one queen, but they can breed hundreds of thousands of soldier ants. These soldier ants completely obey their commands and can truly fight wherever they are told."

"What you need to do now is to start training your own ant soldiers from the advanced stage, selecting insects from the tribe that obey you, respect you, and will be able to take orders from you in the future."

Only by forming a powerful force with shared interests can they protect their wealth. This is why Zerg warriors band together to form tribes, and you alone are worth a tribe!

"I understand, Green Bamboo Armor King." Green Bamboo Armor King meant that when wealth overflowed, it should cultivate more allies with it, preferably starting from the advanced stage, to train the Rhinoceros Golden Turtle Warriors who could obey it in the future and establish its own power.

Although the idea of ​​establishing one's own power within a tribe sounds strange, that's exactly what it means.

As a saying often uttered by meat-eating tribes goes: "Follow them and you'll have meat to eat."

Now, Zishan needs to cultivate a group of Zerg warriors who want to eat "meat." Whether the other party is a Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle Warrior or even a Rhinoceros Beetle Warrior is not important. What is important is that they can protect Zishan's present and future wealth.

The pollen from the male mulberry tree of the yew, which is about to be produced, will not have a significant impact on its own benefits if it is taken out now. In fact, it is a good thing that will benefit all the Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors.

First, offer the tribe's warriors a little treat by sharing the pollen from the divinely bestowed seeds of the male mulberry tree, and then gradually cultivate their sense of belonging.

Zishan already had a plan in mind, but she still needed to discuss the specifics with Qingzhujia King and Zili Lord before implementing it.
