Chapter 1309 - 785: Welcome to the Great Universe!

Dragon Cypress focuses on cultivating Specialized Blue Ants.

With a large base, probabilistic events become stable, and another Assistant King is successfully born: Twin Fragrant Birch.

Thus, with Black Sophora as the leader, the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce now has six Assistant Kings proficient in Water System Refinement Ability: Nebula Pomelo, Nebula Orange, Nebula Lemon, Twin Linden Birch, and Twin Fragrant Birch.

All are incorporated into the Second Division of the Plant Department.

Black Sophora returns to oversee Xianglan Mountain, in charge of unified command and logistics.

With so many Assistant Kings, they can easily manage four or five interstellar trade routes.

…

At the same time,

Areca cultivates another Flame Spider Little Soldier: Stone Pepper.

The Flame Spider Warriors are still somewhat insufficient in number.

…

Six hundred years quickly passed,

Nebula Citrus harvests a succulent plant Divine-Given Seed from the wilderness of Cold Orchid Star: Sentinel Column.

A top-level Divine-Given Seed!

Originally, Dragon Cypress planned to gradually transform the Cold Orchid Star environment into a conventional natural ecological planet.

But later found that although succulents do not grow quickly enough to form a diverse and thriving ecological system, the probability of producing Divine-Given Seeds is not low at all, and the ecosystem is quite stable.

At the strong suggestion of Ink Orchid and Nebula Citrus, it was temporarily preserved.

It can continue to be preserved.

Cold Orchid Star will be managed as a highly distinctive succulent plant planet.

…

The affairs of the Azure Star System are entrusted to Giant Cypress for full authority handling.

Dragon Cypress returns to the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System.

There is quite a lot to do,

First, cultivate a batch of medium, small, and micro-sized Blue Ants for Xianglan Mountain Ant Nest.

Then travel between Xianglan and the Fire Pear Star System to supplement medium, small, and micro-sized Blue Ants for the branch nests in both places.

Next, along with Ink Orchid, White Ivy, Red Peach, leading Black Sophora, Nebula Lemon, Pennycress, Wen Jing, Chinese Clematis, and Raspberry, head to the endpoint of the planned third trade route: Hongtong Star System.

Conduct field surveys, lease shops, lease territories, open branch nests, and first cultivate a batch of ant colonies.

Black Sophora, Nebula Lemon, Pennycress, Wen Jing, Chinese Clematis, and Raspberry stay behind to prepare the shops in advance.

…

After finishing a round of busy work, return to Xianglan Mountain, rest quietly for twenty or thirty years, and Ghost Fan, Starry Cloud Cypress, Triarrhena, Scaly Oak, Poison Bean, and Darnel return from studying in Cao Yai Star System.

Two Star Spiders, following the ant path, lead directly to the base of the Short-horned Divine Seed tree.

The cabin door opens,

Flying quickly jumps down.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, take a look, this is the Luoli Chamber of Commerce's production 1-1 type, Wooden 27 Transport Star Spider. Brand new price is 2.5 billion, with an additional 1 billion for the installed Primordial Energy conversion device, totaling 3.5 billion for a new one."

"This one is one we repaired, refurbished, and carefully maintained, overall seventy percent new, priced at only 1.8 billion, half price, isn't it a bargain?"

Grass Dragon follows and jumps down, saying: "Flying has always had a dream, which is to personally sell a Star Spider it refurbished. Dragon Cypress, you count as its half elder, fulfill its wish."

Poison Bean also persuades: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, the price is right, you can buy one. It's a pity to dispose of it cheaply to other spiders. Look, I bought one!"

Dragon Cypress: "???"

Dragon Cypress: "Why did you buy it?"

Poison Bean: "Didn't Chairman White Ivy say, with more spiders in the Chamber of Commerce, everyone can take turns going back to Yellow Peach Mountain for vacation? On vacation, with nothing else to do, I can drive a First-Level Star Spider to transport passengers in the plaza and earn some extra money."

"..."

Dragon Cypress felt a headache, irritably waved its claw, and said: "Alright. Lupine, Grass Dragon, I'll take this Star Spider, you two use Wangbai Seed's 2 billion Primordial Crystals to offset it, no need for change, consider it as Ghost Fan's and their tuition."

"Wow!"

"Thank you, Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"I knew it, Dragon Cypress is the most righteous!"

Grass Dragon, Lupine, Flying, Poison Bean, and Darnel danced and cheered.

Flying turned around, pointing to the slender beetle with its carapace of golden red with metallic luster, introducing:

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, this is the Golden Red Tree Soldier Beetle Warrior, Fleabane!"

"Greetings, Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Fleabane greeted.

"Good. Good."

Dragon Cypress looked at Ghost Fan and inquired: "Was your study process smooth?"

Ghost Fan: "It was quite smooth. Everyone mastered the Metal Ability, and with the Wisdom Brain assisting in tackling complex issues, it was relatively easy to learn."

Starry Cloud Cypress added: "There wasn't much difficulty, we learned it easily and effortlessly."

"Not hard!"

"Simple!"

Triarrhena and Scaly Oak stated.

"Good! Very good!"

Dragon Cypress thought for a moment, lifted its claw, pointing at the newly purchased Star Spider, and said: "Triarrhena, can you take it apart? Disassemble it into components."

"Yes—"

Triarrhena agreed, climbed aboard the Star Spider, activated the Metal Ability, tinkered with a series of clangs and dings, carefully extracted a large number of precision components from the interior, and placed them into the tree trunk hall.

Then violently dismantled it, leaving just an empty frame of the entire Star Spider.

Dragon Cypress flipped a tentacle and ordered: "Scaly Oak, assemble it back."

Scaly Oak obliged, activated the Metal System Ability, and the scattered metal components floated up, moving and rotating rapidly.

Before long, the complete Star Spider was reassembled.

Scaly Oak drove it, running two laps.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, all functions have been tested, there's no issue."

"Very good! It seems I haven't wasted my tuition fee."

Dragon Cypress was very satisfied and instructed:

"Send this Star Spider to the Azure Star System, it can usually transport insects, carry cargo, etc."

"Later on, Ghost Fan and Triarrhena form one group; Starry Cloud Cypress and Scaly Oak form another group, with each term lasting six hundred years, taking turns to the Azure Star System. If the Star Spider ever has a breakdown, we can repair it ourselves. If tools and parts are needed, they can contact Round Cypress for procurement arrangements."
