Astral Gods

Chapter 20 Large-scale Purchase

"Oh." Zishan was not reassured by Lord Zili's words and was still somewhat worried.

It had heard Zizhu mention before that Lord Zili was going to buy them food blessed with divine power.

It should be noted that of the two hundred to three hundred insectoid warriors in their entire Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle tribe, fewer than thirty Divine Seeds were possessed.

Including the affiliated tribes, the total number of God-given Seeds is only about fifty, meaning that on average, every ten Zerg warriors do not receive even one God-given Seed.

They trade no more than 15 kinds of God-given Force food. If they do that, how much God-given Force food does the Flame Spider Merchant have in his claws? It is very afraid that the Flame Spider Merchant will sell out all the God-given Force food in a few days.

However, Lord Zili was unaware of the little soldier's worries and continued browsing the stalls.

The Flame Spider Merchants rented four stalls in total, three of which were selling Force-based foods, creating a lively atmosphere with insects coming and going.

There was another stall selling various non-Force food items. Although it was also lively, it didn't have as many insects as the stall selling Force food.

Lord Zili led Zishan to this stall to take a look. At this time, there were several high-level warrior-level Flame Spider merchants doing business at this stall.

Upon seeing Lord Purple Plum arrive, Flame Spider Merchants immediately abandoned their original customers to greet him.

"Your Excellency Rhinoceros Beetle Lord, what would you like to purchase? I have it all in stock. Even if I don't have it here, I can obtain it from my elders. I'm sure I can meet your needs."

Lord Zili looked at the goods on the Flame Spider Merchant's stall. The goods there were numerous and varied; you could say they had everything.

Lord Purple Plum asked unhurriedly, "Little merchant, how many Flame Spider merchants have come this year?"

"Lord Rhinoceros Beetle, are you referring to this trading plaza or all the Flame Spider merchants who come to Banana Island?"

"How many Flame Spider merchants come to the entire Banana Island? And how many of them come to the Banana Tail Trading Plaza?"

Although the Flame Spider Merchant was only at the advanced stage, it showed no fear in the face of a Lord-level Zerg warrior: "This year, 422 Flame Spider Merchants have come to Banana Island, including three King-level and 34 Lord-level Flame Spider Merchants."

There are 76 Flame Spider merchants handling transactions at the Banana Tail Trading Plaza, including 5 Lord-level Flame Spider merchants.

"Oh, it seems there are more and more Flame Spiders coming to Banana Island."

Unlike other Zerg warriors, the Flame Spider tribe has only one Life Seed, and this Life Seed does not produce fruit, meaning that they do not produce Force food themselves.

However, the Flame Spider race is naturally intelligent. Even before they awaken, they possess a level of wisdom that other Zerg do not have. The probability of them producing warriors is much higher than that of ordinary Zerg warriors, so it is no exaggeration to say that their population is thriving.

Although they do not produce food made from the Force, they have various means to create wealth.

They engage in insect trade, searching for Zerg warriors from all over the continent and selling them to their own kind.

For example, if they find a rhinoceros beetle warrior, they will ask the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle tribe if they want to buy it. If they do, they will take it home. Depending on its size and level, the price ranges from one thousand to thirty thousand. It is a very profitable business.

They also sell Force food, God-given Force food, and many Flame Spiders make Force pills, Force candies, Force drinks, and even a variety of strange items to sell to Zerg warriors.

Through these means, they have closed the gap between themselves and the Zerg warriors who can produce Force food, and their wealth even surpasses that of ordinary Zerg warriors.

The senior Flame Spider warrior said politely, "The increasing number of Flame Spider merchants coming here is proof that Banana Island is becoming increasingly wealthy, isn't it?"

"As expected of a Flame Spider Warrior who has learned to trade since childhood, he speaks so eloquently." Lord Purple Plum was very pleased with the Flame Spider Warrior's flattery.

However, boasting doesn't pay the bills, and Lord Zili quickly steered the conversation to the main topic: "How much are the spider silk bags? The price hasn't changed, has it?"

"No changes, it's still the same: one small spider silk bag contains one raw stone, and three medium spider silk bags contain three raw stones."

Large spider silk bag, 20 rubies each; Extra large spider silk bag, 60 rubies each.

"Give me 1000 small spider silk bags, 500 medium spider silk bags, 300 large spider silk bags, and 50 extra-large spider silk bags."

The spider silk bag is woven from the spider silk spun by the flame spider itself. It is a very practical item. It is not only lightweight and easy to carry, but it can also hold Force food and ensure that the Force of the stored food is not lost.

In addition, it is also a good vehicle for carrying ordinary harvested food.

It is also needed for moving soil and goods.

The tribe had a great need for spider silk bags, and it ordered a batch every year for everyone to use.

Based on Lord Purple Plum's request, the Flame Spider Merchant quickly produced a large stack of spider silk bags, packed them into an extra-large spider silk bag, and handed it to him: "A total of 11500 primal stones."

More than 1 rough stones is a huge quantity. Each rough stone weighs five grams, so 11500 rough stones would weigh 57 kilograms, which would be too much to fit in an extra-large spider silk bag.

Even when converted into Force Food, it's still a lot. Zizhu's 24 Life Seeds only yielded a little over 18000 Primogems this year. Zishan saw that the Force Food filled an entire super-sized spider silk bag.

However, Lord Zili paid with neither raw stones nor food containing primal energy. Instead, he took out a few thin rolls of spider silk from the spider silk pouch on his foreleg and handed them to the other party, thus completing the transaction.

Zishan had seen those spider silk scrolls before. Previously, Zizhu had weighed the Force food in her territory and handed it over to the tribe, and Lord Zili had given her several such spider silk scrolls.

According to Zizhu, this spider silk scroll is called the Spider King's Scroll, and it is a lightweight and portable form of currency.

The yew tree didn't know what currency was, but it did know that these spider silk scrolls could be exchanged for Primal Stones and Primal Food.

According to Zizhu, these Spider King Scrolls are woven by Flame Spider Merchants. They say that a quota of 1 can be exchanged for 1 Primogems, and a quota of 1000 can be exchanged for 1000 Primogems.

During the trading season, the Zerg warriors harvest a wide variety of Force food. Each type of Force food has a different price, quality, and size. Those with more life forms can harvest several bags of Force food.

Much of the Force food they produce is not for their own consumption, or because they have already had enough of it; they sell this Force food outside.

It's impractical to move so much Force food around, because the Force food they need to buy varies in size, and they have to haggle over the price during the purchase process, which is an extremely inconvenient way to trade.

So they used Force Food to exchange for Spider King Scrolls from the Flame Spider Merchants, and then took the Spider King Scrolls to the Trading Square to buy the Force Food they needed, saving time of carrying Force Food back and forth.

Of course, the premise for them to do this is that the Flame Spider Merchants bring all sorts of Force foods that are not available on their islands every year, or even God-given Force foods.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so foolish as to exchange the Force food they painstakingly produced in their territory for a year's worth of food that they can neither eat nor drink, just a few spider silk rolls.
