Chapter 7 The Outside World
With Shilan as the life seed, the force food produced has the effect of strengthening the digestive function.
The mantis family’s innate ability lies in their carapace, and the force food produced by the life-breeding species also has the effect of improving the color of the carapace.
Taken together, the strengthening effect of the Shilan seeds produced by the Shilan seeds bred by Molania is to strengthen the digestive system and improve the color of the carapace.
Mo Lan’s body is bloated, which is obviously due to eating too many Shilan seeds. It should also realize that obesity will affect flight and combat, so it dare not eat more. Only the Shilan seeds produced this year are balance.
This stuff is a bit tasteless to the mantis warriors, and eating too much will be counterproductive.
However, for the ant king, especially the dragon cypress, stone orchid seeds are undoubtedly the best force food.
Growing ant eggs with the help of the Dominion Throne consumes a lot of stored nutrients and physical energy in the body. The fatter the ant king, the better.
Send Mo Lan away.
Long Bai charged the throne of dominance once, and the second ant egg entered the third stage of original energy gestation.
Eating restores consumption.
I couldn’t wait to take out the Shilan seeds and ate three of them in succession.
……
In the afternoon, Mo Lan did not arrive as promised.
Long Bai guessed that it must have taken a detour to go home, so he didn’t think much about it.
Get some rest and continue working at night digging the ant nest.
Early the next morning.
The Throne of Ruler has given feedback.
[Messenger, Producer, and Agriculture are generated]
Same as last time, a hexagonal hole like a honeycomb was opened behind the ruling throne, and an ant egg was produced inside.
Comparing the two ant eggs of the guardian and the producer, the size, shape, and color are the same, but the aura of the force revealed is slightly different.
Do the guardians correspond to the soldier ants of the giant ant kingdom?
Do producers correspond to worker ants?
It is difficult to judge at the moment, but it is not difficult to solve this question. It will be clear at a glance whether it will develop into an adult insect in the future.
Don’t think too much about it,
Long Bai then tried to activate the messenger function. As expected, the blue light scan showed that his physical condition was not good.
Eat three more Shilan seeds, lie down on the throne of control, rest and recover.
……
The evening is getting dark.
"Longbai?"
"Long Bai!"
Mo Lan's spiritual call came from the entrance of the ant nest.
Long Bai jumped off the throne and trotted out of the nest.
Stab it.
Mo Lan opened the spider silk bag skillfully, rummaged through it, and took out 5 cypress fruit balls.
"This is dried cedar! Do you have any cedar?"
"No..."
"Give it to you!"
"Thank you..."
“You’re welcome.” Mo Lan raised her front foot, pointed to the north, and said:
"I stayed close to the divine barrier and flew over there to search, and found a big mountain. I saw dried cedar on the mountain, so I picked some seeds for you and brought them back."
"Unfortunately, that mountain Although the mountain is large, the force is very poor.”
He is really looking for a god-given seed~ Long Bai swept his spiritual power into the spider silk bag and asked:
"Mo Lan, you have collected a lot of orchid seeds? What varieties are there?"
Mo Lan: "They are all snow orchids. I already have this orchid species. However, the seeds collected from other places, Used for mixed planting, you can cultivate more robust seedlings. If you have time, you should also walk around and collect various plant seeds.”
Long Bai: "Seed trade is also one of the important trade items of the caravan. The flame spider caravan has various plant seeds from the Continent of Ten Thousand Nations and the Continent of Ten Thousand Nations. They are all cultivated by the major Zerg races over a long period of time and with painstaking efforts for generations. High-quality variety."
"Mo Lan, what is the height of the mountain where you live? If the mountain is high enough, I have two large-fruited hemlock seeds. I can give you one and give it a try. "
"Thank you... The mountain is not high... No need..."
Mo Lan looked around guiltily, declined Long Bai's kindness, was stunned for a few seconds, jumped with joy, and asked : "Does the caravan also sell orchids?"
Long Bai said truthfully: "The caravan I followed does not have it, and I have never heard of other caravans having it. I have never heard that the Zerg specializes in cultivating orchids. ”
Mo Lan was dejected when he heard this, and asked: "Can we entrust the caravan to help collect it?"
Long Bai: "Yes. But the orchids we find are all orchids growing in the wild. The caravan is also suitable for The place where the orchid grows is entrusted to the local Zerg to collect it, so the price will be very expensive and very uneconomical."
Mo Lan: "Long Bai, are you familiar with the caravan's Luojin?"
Long Bai: "It's cooked. But after it's cooked, you still have to pay for the corresponding rough stones when buying things." Mo Lan didn't have any rough stones, and he had finished all the force food produced this year. He changed the topic and asked:< br>
“Longbai, where did you get your big-fruited hemlock seeds?”
Long Bai: "When the caravan was trading in the territory of King Hemlock, I was paid for helping with the work."
"Oh." Mo Lan: "King Hemlock? Insect. King level?”
Long Bai: “Yes. Its territory is super large, and there are thousands of warriors of all sizes. After the powerful and rich caravan arrived, many warriors came to it. They come with large and small bags of force food, scrambling to seek deals, sell the output of their territories, or exchange for raw stones, or purchase other types of force food they need."
"Every time. Entering such a prosperous Insect King territory, the caravan will be particularly busy, so I will help with the calculations, and Luo Li will give me corresponding rewards.”
"Wow!"
"Long Bai, you are so powerful!"
Mo Lan's eyes shone and she asked with great interest: "Long Bai, are there many praying mantis kingdoms too?"
"Of course! Over there in the Wanzu Continent, the Mantis clan is a big and powerful clan. I followed the caravan to visit 5 Mantis kingdoms."
Long Bai paused and said: "I also visited After passing the White Alder Mandarin King, it has three alder trees gifted by the gods. The largest one is called 'White Alder'. It has been growing for five hundred years, with lush branches and leaves, and stands like a mountain peak. Flower and Fruit Cycle 5. Years, each cycle can produce more than 30,000 alder seeds. The caravan buys them at a price of 30 raw stones, and then sells them to other insect kings for prices ranging from 35 to 40…"
< br>
"How many rough stones is this?!"
"King Bai Alder Mandarin is so awesome!"
Mo Lan cheered for her distant relative.
Aren’t caravans powerful? Long Bai talked eloquently until it got dark, and Mo Lan reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Mo Lan ran over again carrying an empty bag of spider silk.
"Long Bai, haven't you dug your ant nest yet?"
"No."
Long Bai took the initiative to ask: "Mo Lan, are you still planning to go north to search for Lan?" "Is it a seed given by God?"
"I have this idea, but it's too far..."
Mo Lan hesitated, spoke faster, and asked: "Long Bai, yesterday You said that Lord Sanjian of the Jianyuan Tribe used a distance-measuring instrument from an extraterrestrial civilization to measure Luo Qi’s body length? What kind of instrument was that? ”
Mo Lan is full of curiosity and yearning for everything in the outside world, especially the creations of extraterrestrial civilizations.
Obviously, it came here specifically to tell me a story today.
"Oh~" Long Bai thought for a moment, organized his words, and said: "That thing is called a 'range finder', a cuboid..."
Long Bai said, walking, He drew a rectangle on the ground with his forefoot and said: "It's about this big. A green beam can be emitted from the front end, and there is a screen here. When the beam hits an object, the screen will show the distance. There are strange characters on it. , only Lord Three Tips knows it. It is said that it took hundreds of years to research and crack it. No one wants to tell it."
Mo Lan was confused and asked: "How was it measured? What’s the use?”
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, how tall are you now?"
Mo Lan: "About 20 centimeters."
Long Bai: "Approximately? You estimated it based on your inherited memory and spiritual power by scanning yourself, right?"
Mo Lan: "Yes."
Long Bai: “The purpose of a rangefinder is to accurately measure your body length. If you record your body length at each age, you can intuitively understand how much you have grown during each molt. In the same way, you can also accurately measure the height of your plant and record it to clearly understand how tall your plant grows each year. It has many similar uses and is also very useful."
"As for how to measure... "
Long Bai used his claws to draw a horizontal line on the ground again, and said: "Mo Lan, take you as an example, if you want to measure your body length, stand here and align your head with this line... …”
Mo Lan immediately stepped forward in cooperation, lay down, and moved his steps to be level with the horizontal line.
Long Bai: "Then use a piece of wood behind you, flush with the tail, and hit it with the rangefinder. The measurement result will be displayed on the screen of the instrument. The result may be 21.222, or 20.222, or something else. The values are, in a word, very precise.”
"Understood!"
Mo Lan then asked: "Then how to accurately measure the height of the plant?"
Long Bai: "Then we need to switch to another one." Height measurement mode. Let's take the dead nan tree as an example. Just stand here and hit the top of the tree with the rangefinder, and the measurement results will come out."
"Unfortunately, the specific operation is very difficult. Only Lord Three-Point knows the method, and he refuses to tell anyone."
"How awesome!" Mo Lan marveled, and then complained: "Is Lord Three-Point too stingy?"
Long Bai: "This is not stingy, this is a money-making business. In the Continent of Ten Thousand Races, when certain Zerg warriors need to accurately measure something, they can only spend a lot of money and ask the Tri-tip Lord for help. The range measurement passed down from generation to generation There is not just one instrument, but many. If the secret is spread, the Tri-tip Lord will not be able to earn the rough stone, or in other words, there will be competition, and the income will be less."
"In this way. Ah!"
"Three-pointed Lord is so smart!"
"Long Bai, you are so smart!"
Mo Lan clearly understood the logic, and there was a series of He exclaimed and sighed, and even admired Long Bai.
Ordinary Zerg make money by operating their territory, while Flame Spider Travelers make money through trade. If not, they can also make money by mastering knowledge that other Zerg do not understand.
The outside world is simply wonderful.
Mo Lan then asked: "Long Bai, are there any more? Creatures of extraterrestrial civilizations similar to rangefinders."
Long Bai: "Of course, and there are many."
< br>Long Bai thought for a while and said: "In the Bronze Kaojia tribe, there is a Kojia mountain lord named 'Flame'. He inherited a set of extraterrestrial civilization creations named 'Firefly Eyes' from the previous generation of lords. …”
