Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1044: Chapter 701: Xianglan Chamber of Commerce (Part 2)

"Good!"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

All insects responded.

Black Peach asked, "Great King, which department am I in? The Plant Department?"

"Where else can you go?"

Dragon Cypress replied irritably, "The Plant Department is organized by groups."

"Plant Department First Group, led by Black Cory, with Rainbow Light and Tie Bush assisting, is responsible for pioneering and large-scale planting work."

"Plant Department Second Group, led by Black Peach, is responsible for the management of all Origin Force Plants in the rear."

"Plant Department Third Group, Blue Catalpa, Black Rice, Mountain Persimmon, Woodberry, and Pueraria, you need to learn various knowledge among the stars, familiarize yourselves with planetary environmental transformation, understand the laws of life evolution, and learn to build and maintain natural ecological environments, etc."

"Okay."

"Understood."

All insects responded.

"As for the Commerce Department..."

Dragon Cypress said, "Black Sophora, you are responsible for the production of Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey. Also, considering the possibility of future large-scale trade, Ghost Fan, White Rice, and Chinese Clematis, you will temporarily serve in the Commerce Department. The general work involves communication with caravans and transactions of goods. Specifically, the situation is unclear, and I can’t say much now."

"..."

Ghost Fan, White Rice, and Chinese Clematis hesitated.

Ghost Fan suggested, "How about I go to the Plant Department and start farming? I’m more skilled at that."

Dragon Cypress shook its tentacles and said, "White Rice is smart, and Ghost Fan and Chinese Clematis are steady; you three can handle dealing with the cunning Flame Spider Roving Merchants."

"Everyone, listen to me clearly..."

Dragon Cypress said, "The purpose of establishing a Chamber of Commerce is mainly to seek a second income besides the output of Life Seeds. We must first think clearly and plan well what our chamber can do now and in the future and how to generate revenue."

"Venus Star System is just a transit point from the home planet to the Primary Material Universe, and it’s also where we grow and learn. The place is too small, resources are scarce, and nothing significant can be achieved here. Before the Star Realm, the resources needed for everyone’s evolution are very sufficient. So, we can conduct some Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey trade to accumulate funds for development."

"We won’t stay long. Once all Life Seeds and Wild God-Given Seeds evolve to Nine Traces Realm, we’ll leave immediately. After detailed discussions with Mountain Maple Ancestor and Chairman White Ivy, we roughly estimate it will take about 13,000 to 15,000 years."

"Where to develop in the future? The first choice is definitely the White Crystal Star System, a newly emerging star system less than three million years old, with vast land and fewer insects, abundant resources, and more opportunities. All young insects are heading there, and we’ll follow the crowd too."

Dragon Cypress paused slightly and said, "Returning to the main issue, what will our chamber do? What skills do we have? How will we make money?"

"I can only think of two paths for now. First, contract those planets established at Zero Level Origin Points, transform the planets, create natural ecologies, and harvest Divine-Given Seeds."

"In a star system, the number of Zero Level Origin Points is in the billions, as numerous as the stars; the number of First Level Origin Points is about one percent of Zero Level, still in the millions; the number of Second Level Origin Points is one percent of First Level. Third Level Origin Points are very few and have long been occupied by the major forces that first discovered and developed the star systems."

"Our Insect Clan Civilization development model typically involves the Insect Clan Warriors living at First, Second, and Third Level Origin Points, with Life Seeds taking root on life planets rich in Origin Force. Then, they manage those Zero Level Origin Points, obtain Divine-Given Seeds through sheer numbers."

"One Zero Level Origin Point, one star system, one to nine life planets. If we can contract three to five good quality Zero Level Origin Points and operate twenty to thirty life planets similar to Twisted Blue Star, given the vast numbers, roughly every few decades to a century, we can harvest one Divine-Given Seed, resulting in very stable and considerable income."

"The harvested Divine-Given Seeds can be planted as Wild God-Given Seeds, becoming new members and fixed assets of our chamber, continuously generating revenue for the chamber."

"The number of fixed assets that generate stable income will continue to increase, and as income grows, we can accumulate capital while everyone grows and evolves. We can contract more Zero Level Origin Points and even purchase our owned Zero Level Origin Points as chamber assets."

"Origin Points have the same properties as Wild God-Given Seeds, serving as fixed assets that can continuously generate revenue."

"Chamber operations, in general, are about accumulating, developing, and expanding step by step."

"Of course, there are very serious development constraints. Each star system and every planet must have insects to manage. The number of chamber members severely limits the scale of the chamber’s development."

Black Cory raised a claw to ask, "Great King, is it just me, Rainbow Light, and Tie Bush doing the pioneering work?"

Rainbow Light echoed, "Great King, do you want to work us to death?"

Dragon Cypress: "In the future, when there are other New Assistant Kings, I will naturally arrange for expansion. Besides, Plant Department Third Group, Blue Catalpa, Black Rice, and Woodberry can also help. When necessary, I will arrange for other Assistant Kings to assist as well."

Blue Catalpa followed up to ask: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, do we need to recruit more Insect Clan Warriors for our chamber?"

Snakebark Maple added, "Venus Star System is a good recruitment point; the Insect Clan Warriors coming from the home planet are either wealthy or intelligent."

Dragon Cypress shook its tentacles and said, "There is another rule for registering a chamber on the Star Network; that is, all Insect Clan Warriors must voluntarily join the chamber and can freely exit the chamber."

"Pioneering and managing Zero Level Origin Points is an industry with no technical barriers. A group of insects can establish their own chamber as soon as they save up a sum of Primordial Crystal and start their own work."
