Chapter 167 More work, more reward
“Hurry up!”
“Hurry up!”
“Hurry up!”
“Come on!”
"Come on!"
......
Heiti stood on a high slope, condescending, shaking his tentacles vigorously, and the pheromones of intense urging and encouragement filled the bottom of the mountain.
The worker ants are busy in an orderly manner: clearing shrubs, digging tree roots, cutting weeds, and plowing the soil.
The soldier ants were all pulled in to help, picking up the gravel and transporting it to the designated location for disposal.
More than a dozen blue ants, large and small, were standing by, their bellies filled with fresh water and ant honey.
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"
"Eat! Rest!"
"You guys!"
"You!"
"And you."
"Work!"
Heiti was also a The worker ants who do the hard work know everyone's temperament and psychology very well.
As a worker ant, all it wants to do is lie still after eating. It is acceptable to move occasionally, but if it is always asked to work, it will feel very unhappy, resist, and find ways to be lazy. Forced labor? They all seem to be moving, but in fact they are all perfunctory and their work efficiency is low.
Heiti formed a team of worker ants and soldier ants, commanded them accurately, and took turns. Everyone would work for a while and lie down to rest for a while.
Remarkable results were achieved, and the reclamation of the southern wild jujube nursery was completed ahead of schedule.
Longbai also left a batch of silver cypress and black grape seeds.
Now the spring is just right.
Heiti plans to open up two more squares of nursery land and sow all the seeds in time.
Lead the ant colony to go out early and come back late, working overtime.
……
The seeds of the ghost fan bloom this spring, and the nectar is not to be missed.
Ghost Fan and Raspberry are both a little confused, and they can't tell the specific time.
Long Bai was afraid that he would be late, so he packed lightly from Xianglan Mountain and stayed up late on the road.
One day and most of the night, I passed by Black Lotus Lake. I was thinking about going over to check if Heiti was lazy. I took a short rest here for half a day and took Heiti to Guishan Mountain to help pick the food. Honey...
The Throne of Control climbed over the ridge, Long Bai buried his head in looking, wondering if he was overworked and dazzled.
Looking up and looking to the east, wisps of light emitted from the sky.
Looking down further, I saw a large number of worker ants and soldier ants already busy working on the flat ground below the mountain.
It's like marching and fighting,
There are blue ants following and standing by, providing supplies at any time.
Bai Liu is also working along, specifically helping to carry those extra-large stones.
Heiti stood on the slope, waving his tentacles desperately and giving various instructions non-stop.
“……”
Long Bai controlled the throne to slowly descend.
White Willow fluttered its wings and soared into the sky, "Longbai Ant King! The seeds of the southern jujube have been sown in time!"
"Very good——"
Longbai didn't know. What to say.
I just separated you from the family, and you turned around and changed your gender?
Did King Ben treat you badly in Xianglan Mountain?
"Heiti!"
Long Bai was displeased, called out, and asked directly: "What? In another place, you would risk your life like this?"
"Your Majesty—— "
Heti said nonchalantly: "The more work you do, the more you will get..."
Bai Liu supported and praised: "King Longbai Ant, Heiti is so hardworking! Not only did he finish sowing the seeds of Ziziphus jujube in advance, but he also helped me take care of the territory."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai had a vague feeling that Heiti had a high sense of independence, so he had the idea to separate it.
However, I never expected that after becoming independent, Heiti's entire mental outlook would be reversed 360 degrees.
An idea flashed in Long Bai's mind, and he had a new idea for developing the ant country and developing the land of unclaimed force.
——If there were a few more ants like Heiti, and they could be assigned to various places of the Force to support themselves, wouldn't I be able to save a lot of trouble?
"Heiti, your idea is correct. The more you work, the more you will get! Keep up the good work!"
Long Bai praised.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Heiti replied sonorously, full of enthusiasm.
"Hmm -"
Long Bai came here, originally planning to take Heiti to Ghost Fan Mountain to help collect nectar and brew ant royal jelly.
In that case, let’s give up. Long Bai: "I traveled all night and went to the mountain to rest for a while. You continue to work, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't tire the worker ants to death."
Heiti: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We work and rest at the same time, we are not tired.”
Long Bai turned around, looked around, clicked his tentacles, and controlled the throne to take off and go up the mountain.
……
Ghost Fan Mountain.
Fruit vine is planted on the left bank of the river. The main vines have grown to a size ranging from 20 to 40 meters, climbing all over the hillside, with flower spikes swaying in the wind.
On the right bank of the river, white willows and maple poplars are planted crosswise and neatly arranged. They all grow to a height of three to five meters, forming a forest next to the river.
The ghost fan with gray and black carapace was carrying raspberries with iridescent carapace, one big and one small, one behind the other, holding the bamboo tube and walking towards the river bank to fertilize the two maple and poplar trees planted on the river bank.
From such a distance, Ghost Fan keenly caught the fluctuations in the force, stopped, raised his head, and looked around.
Raspberry stopped and looked.
The throne of control crossed the mountain peak and descended at a constant speed. Long Bai looked around, then spotted them and accelerated towards them.
“Ghost Fan! Raspberry!”
"Longbai Ant King!"
"Longbai Ant King, where is Molan? I haven't seen him for a long time."
After meeting and greeting, Wanliang asked.
Long Bai said helplessly: "Molan is playing with its orchids. It is busier than me every spring..."
Wraspberry: "Uh--"
Ghost Fan: "Oh——"
Ghost Fan didn't think the orchid was that bad. He put down the bamboo tube he was holding and chatted: "Longbai Ant King, I remember Mo Lan said, you teach it A kind of 'cross-breeding' technology can easily produce excellent new orchid grass varieties... Is there any harvest?"
Long Bai: "It has not been successful yet, but we are working hard."
Long Bai also knew little about cross-breeding and had no intention of thinking about it at all. Mo Lan asked for help every year, and basically just dealt with it casually.
Longbai has never been optimistic about orchids. This view has not changed and will never change.
Long Bai turned around and looked around, changed the subject, and asked: "Am I not late? Have the seeds of the ghost fan bloomed?"
Wuberry answered quickly: "Long Bai Ant King, here you are. It's early. It hasn't bloomed yet."
Ghost Fan: "The flower spikes have grown and they will bloom in about two or three days."
Long Bai: "That's good, I'll bring them. I have found a lot of worker ants and can help you with the work for two days.”
“Biogas digester! Gui Fan said we need to dig a biogas digester!” Raspberry was never polite to Long Bai and Mo Lan.
Ghost Fan: "..."
Long Bai said cheerfully: "No problem! Are you busy first?"
Ghost Fan took the raspberries and poured down the biogas residue in the bamboo tube. We led the way to the Ghost Fan God-given Plant, looked around and chatted for a while.
Finally we arrived at the hillside near the living cave.
A biogas digester that has just been dug into half.
Long Bai parked the throne nearby, unloaded the tree stump ant nest, and directed the accompanying 30 large worker ants and 20 medium worker ants to dig forward.
Three days later, the flower planted by the ghost fan bloomed.
Long Bai controls the throne again, moving up and down around the tree, directing 7 micro-blue ants to collect nectar and pollen.
This does not pay.
Including the seed given by the God of White Rice and the seed given by the Scarlet Light God, all have been negotiated without any payment.
There is a quid pro quo.
When the God-given seeds are ripe and harvested, everyone will sell the God-given Force food. They must purchase Force Ant Honey in large quantities, and they will not be able to finish it all in a short time. Long cypress is sealed with brewed royal jelly so that it can be stored for a long time.
This is a good thing to facilitate both parties.
The yield of the God-given Ghost Fan is low, only 1373 flowers, and it takes just over a day to finish. The exquisite small bottles presented by Bai Wei were enough to fill a bottle.
Long Bai stayed to help for another day, dug the biogas pool, took control of the throne, sailed to the northeast, detoured to Kiwi Mountain, and checked the status of the green maple and red maple.
The two little guys are smart. They followed the Longbai merchants and saw and learned various skills in managing the territory. Not only did they take good care of their own seeds, but they also took good care of the ordinary green and red kiwi fruit seedlings in the nursery.
Smart and energetic.
There is a three-point relationship between myself and Mo Lan when they were young.
Long Bai confirmed that they could survive independently well, felt relieved, and returned to Xianglan Mountain.
“Nan Gorgon!”
Passing by the Nanqian Reservoir, I said hello on the way, lowered the control throne, and scanned and checked my mental power.
The fruit is in good growth condition.
"Long Bai——"
Nan Qian responded and asked: "Where did you go again?"
Long Bai: "The ghost fan is a seed given by the gods. When it blooms, I will collect honey to brew ant royal jelly.”
Nan Qian: "It's okay, don't run around! Did something happen on the mountain? Where are the soldier ants protecting me? Where are they? Hurry up and take a look!"
Long Bai: "???"
Long Bai looked around, and sure enough, all the soldier ants responsible for patrolling near the reservoir were gone.
What can happen in spring?
Long Bai didn't say much nonsense, and the throne of control quickly rose into the sky and flew towards the mountains.
