Chapter 1302 - 782: My Good-for-Nothing Junior

"Chairman White Ivy, it was you who wanted to come over here."

"Red Peach, didn't you try to dissuade me either."

"I didn't expect Melde to rise so quickly."

"Yeah——"

"Red Peach, tell me, how could Melde, such a clumsy Spider, manage to do so well? It's unreasonable!"

"Maybe it's because the name is good."

"Really? Then should I name all the newly born Flame Spider Little Soldiers 'Melde' and then arrange them to infiltrate the Luoli Chamber of Commerce as spies?"

"..."

"Then it's just good luck, or the Luoli Chamber of Commerce's system is flawed."

"Exactly. The chamber's system has its loopholes, with a bit of luck added."

"..."

White Ivy came in high spirits, intending to showcase her strong capabilities to Melde, mock and trample him a bit, but unexpectedly, this guy had mixed into the core of a Level 7 Great Commerce and became a branch chairman.

It seems like there might never be a chance in this lifetime~

White Ivy felt distressed.

Red Peach reminded, "Chairman White Ivy, that White-Legged Little Spider might just turn around and inform Melde, we better leave quickly."

"Go! Go! Go!"

White Ivy led the way quickly to leave.

Red Peach asked again, "Chairman White Ivy, where are we headed next?"

White Ivy: "Isn't there a whole set of Star Spider processing and assembly bases in the Pilile Star Domain, Caoyai Star System? Let's check it out, get an idea of the prices, and then we should head back to the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System."

"The rent for the Azure Star System should be due, right? That old Pond Silk Spider is ruthless. I wonder if that little Dragon Cypress can manage without me."

Red Peach: "...Should be fine, I guess."

…

…

Caoyai Star System, Horn Flower Star.

North 9999 District, currently during a blizzard winter.

Insects were coming and going in the square, snow was trampled into black mud.

The Star Spider landed,

The moment the hatch opened, swarms of Flame Spiders rushed over.

"You can purchase brand new Star Spiders from me, Sanweikui Chamber of Commerce, self-developed and self-made, bypassing the Level 7 Great Commerce monopoly, lowest price in the universe, stable performance, reliable quality, zero failures for over ten thousand light years..."

"Two-Claw Star Spiders, come to me, we have a full range of models for all chambers."

"Hello, fellow Flame Spider! Need a Star Spider? You can find the Two-Claw Spider from me."

"Make way. Make way. Don't block the way."

"..."

It was noisy and chaotic.

White Ivy and Red Peach struggled to squeeze out of the Star Spider.

Habitually, they scanned with their Soul-Setting Ability...

"Oh!"

"Hmm?"

White Ivy and Red Peach both froze, exchanging a glance.

Familiar soul fluctuations.

Grass Dragon!

Grass Dragon was mingling with a group of Flame Spider Warriors selling Two-Claw Star Spiders, surrounding and competing for a Round Purple Flame Spider Warrior with a clear intent to purchase...

"Not buying. Not buying."

"Get lost, get lost, not buying Star Spiders."

White Ivy waved her claws to drive them away, leading Red Peach to weave through the swarm, standing at a corner of the square to observe.

Most Insect Clan Warriors coming to the Caoyai Star System were here to purchase Star Spiders, with a few having valuable Star Spiders in need of major repairs or refurbishment.

The number of chambers doing Star Spider trade here is countless, fierce competition like warfare.

Even the Level 7 and 8 chambers have to dispatch special warriors to the square to attract customers.

Grass Dragon was no longer employed at the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, it was dealing in Two-Claw Spiders,

without any advantage whatsoever,

the Flame Spider Warrior they were all surrounding went off with another Flame Spider Warrior promoting Star Spiders.

Looking back again,

The few customers brought here by this Passenger Star Spider had already been completely divided up.

Scanning the place, their gaze finally fell on a corner of the square...

Spider and Metal Mantis...

A somewhat familiar figure...

Grass Dragon scanned with its Soul-Setting Ability, immediately leaping and sprinting over.

"Chairman White Ivy! Red Peach!"

Grass Dragon was shocked and scrutinized, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, my poor junior~ you're still such a disappointment~"

White Ivy's tone was low, feeling heartbroken, mockingly jabbing.

"..."

Grass Dragon looked at Red Peach and asked, "Red Peach, did you come over from Melde?"

Red Peach slowly turned and looked toward White Ivy.

White Ivy was taken aback and suddenly felt guilty, curiously asking, "How did you know?"

Grass Dragon: "Otherwise? How did you find my location? It must have been Melde who told you."

"Actually not!"

"Looking for you? Who do you think you are? Coming around to find you?"

White Ivy quickly organized her thoughts and said, "The chamber of commerce Red Peach and I are running is developing rapidly and needs to procure a large number of Star Spiders. I heard it's cheaper over in Caoyai Star System, so we came to investigate and inquire about prices."

"Oh—"

"Large-scale procurement?"

Grass Dragon's eight eyes shone brightly, asking, "What level of Star Spider? First level? Level Two? Do you want the Two-Claw ones?"

"My most most most esteemed elder White Ivy~ Lupine and I have left Melde Chamber of Commerce and started our own business. It's not easy dealing in Two-Claw Spiders; you must support us~"

White Ivy looked down disdainfully.

Red Peach couldn't hold back anymore, saying indifferently, "We are engaged in interstellar trade, with trade routes spanning hundreds to thousands of light years; do you think first and second-level Star Spiders will suffice?"

"???"

Grass Dragon was stunned again, suddenly realizing a problem:

White Ivy was originally big and burly, having used the Law Divine Product Ghost King Sophora, her body expanded to more than twice the size of an ordinary spider.

How did she return to normal size?

Also, that forehead position, a black-and-white single eye...

Star Core?

Although the evolution level was only Half Star Realm, the primordial energy fluctuation emitted from the Star Core faintly made the insect's heart tremble.

And those scattered around the body, faintly visible discrete primordial energy fluctuations, those should all be the 'traces' gained through Divine-Grade Fruits.

Looking at Red Peach, it's about the same.

They should be traveling afar to procure divine-grade items, planning a breakthrough, aiming to ascend to the Planet Realm.

White Ivy following Dragon Cypress has struck it rich again!

Come to think of it,

With White Ivy's personality, she surely got rich, specifically coming over to mock Melde.

Grass Dragon asked, "My most most most esteemed elder White Ivy, your size..."

White Ivy: "What's wrong with my size?"

Grass Dragon said sadly, "You seem to have become thinner."

White Ivy: "..."

White Ivy said irritably, "Riding a Star Spider for short distances with double the size means double the fare, so I shrink a bit to save money."

"Change?"

Grass Dragon asked, "This must be an adaptive evolution ability, right? You've teamed up with Dragon Cypress again? Interstellar trade? Are you still dealing in Bee King Honey?"

White Ivy said indifferently, "Commercial secrets, stop prying."

White Ivy teasingly asked, "Didn't you and Lupine go to Melde Chamber of Commerce to develop and get rich? What happened? Fallen to selling Two-Claw Spiders? Still a nobody kind of peddler."

"Sigh—"

"It's a long story~"

"Back then I said, Leader White Ivy is unparalleled in wisdom, follow elder White Ivy, regroup with Dragon Cypress, develop together, but Melde wouldn't listen, dragged us down terribly."

"No more talk. Let's drop it."

Grass Dragon was shaking his claws, asking, "Where is Dragon Cypress now? That whatever tree of his, at least it's Half Star Realm by now, right? In the star space, its fruit production should have surplus, right? Is it for sale? How's the price?"

White Ivy: "Cheap. 1 billion."

"Oh—"

"That's indeed not expensive."

Grass Dragon pursued, "Where have you all settled? It's been a while, quite miss it, I should visit when I have time."

1 billion isn't expensive?

You're posing as a big shot?

How many primordial crystals can you earn from this lowlife job dealing Two-Claw Star Spiders?

White Ivy: "Sheep Hoof Armor Star System. Column Spotted, Poison Bean, Heliotrope, Cicada Seed are all here."

"Poison Bean? That Little Spider is still around? It managed to survive leaving the home planet?"

Grass Dragon was again stunned, in disbelief.

"Column Spotted? Heard he quit, turned out he followed White Ivy~"

"Heliotrope? Cicada Seed?"

"What's going on?"

"Everyone's following my most most most esteemed elder White Ivy? I can't be left behind~"
