Astral Gods

Chapter 38 Extraterrestrial Creations Better Than Flashlights

Thinking of this, Lord Qingguo spoke again: "Lord Zehui, since you possess such top-tier plants, you must also have soul-type primal force foods. I wonder if I could purchase some from your kingdom?"

As if he had expected this, the Lord of Zehui Mountain replied perfunctorily, "As you know, we Flame Spider Merchants only have one Life Seed. We do not produce Force Food ourselves. Only the original Flame Spider in the entire kingdom can produce Force Food."

Due to limited resources, Soul Force food is scarce, with only a small amount available each year to supply trade with some of the top tribes on the continent.

"But Lord Greenfruit, rest assured, given our relationship, I will suggest to our caravan that we exchange some Soul-type Force food with you."

"Thank you so much." Lord Qingguo asked casually, "Do you have any Soul-type Divine Blessed Force Food?"

"Of course not." Hearing this, Lord Zehui was speechless: "Lord Qingguo, you are not a junior warrior anymore. You should know how small the probability of a divinely bestowed seed being born is."

Although our kingdom has a large insect population, most of them are Flame Spider traders who travel abroad to trade every year. Very few insect warriors are capable of managing their own territories. Under these circumstances, cultivating a divinely bestowed seed is virtually impossible.

"Not to mention the divinely bestowed seed of the soul type, it would probably take ten thousand years for one to grow."

"Oh." Upon hearing Lord Zehui's words, Lord Qingguo was both disappointed and pleased. He was disappointed because he could no longer purchase Soul-type Divine Force Food from the Flame Spider Merchant's Claw.

The good news is that if the yew tree can nurture a soul-type divinely bestowed seed, wouldn't it become a unique treasure in the world?

Thinking of this, even though it had already been promoted to the lord level, it still couldn't help but smile with joy.

Looking at the expression on Lord Qingguo's face, Lord Zehui was a little puzzled, not understanding why it was inexplicably happy.

Meanwhile, two little soldiers nearby listened to their conversation, waving their antennae as if they understood but not quite.

Just then, Zizhu flew over carrying a large bag of fruit: "Lord Zili, Lord Zehui, you've arrived."

"Hmm." Lord Green Fruit calmly moved its tentacles. "You've been guarding this place the whole time? Where's Zi Tong? Where's Zi Li? Where did they go? Aren't you worried about the little warrior's evolution?"

Zizhu said, "Zitong herself is also preparing for her evolutionary age and hasn't been here recently. Lord Zili also has her own things to do."

I'm already a level 9 advanced warrior, so watching the little warriors evolve is no problem for me.

Moreover, there are also Purple Locust and Purple Artemisia here; they are also about to become independent intermediate warriors, and there shouldn't be any problems with them keeping watch here.

Lord Qingguo scolded somewhat displeasedly, "That's what you say, but we still need to be wary of potential risks. Just now, a bunch of young warriors ran over looking for Zihuai and the others, and these two almost went with them."

"We didn't." The two little soldiers looked utterly innocent.

Zizhu glared at them too: "Go check if the yew has evolved yet?"

The two little soldiers, as if granted a pardon, quickly fled the area and ran back into the insulated room.

Looking at the rows of insulated greenhouses standing on the ground, Lord Zehui was quite satisfied: "Zizhu, these insulated greenhouses of yours should have been built according to the method I described, right? How are the results?"

Zizhu said honestly, "The Lord of Zehui Mountain is very knowledgeable. The insulated room built according to your method can allow many life forms to grow well even in winter, which greatly reduces the risk of the little warriors evolving."

Lord Zehui was in a good mood today, so he talked a lot more: "There is not much risk in the growth of the little warriors' life seeds, but if we can make their life seeds grow taller, then the time when they can produce primal force food will be much sooner."

This difference of several thousand to tens of thousands of Originium Stones in a year might not seem like much to large tribes, but for the Zerg warriors of small tribes, it was a lifeline.

"What the Lord of Zehui Mountain says is true."

The Lord of Zehui Mountain pointed out: "You are all in individual insulated greenhouses now, each built independently, and the temperature varies, which will still affect the growth of the life seed."

You can build earthen and stone corridors between the insulated rooms to connect all the insulated rooms together. This year you can go to the caravan to buy a thermometer and adjust the temperature of the insulated rooms to the appropriate level.

If the temperature gets too low, bring in a Zerg warrior with fire-type abilities to raise the temperature. This way, the entire season can mimic the hottest part of summer, allowing the life-seeds to grow faster.

"I've learned it."

"Been taught a lesson."

Zizhu remembered something the three little ones had been fussing about lately: "Lord Zili previously purchased a flashlight created by an extraterrestrial civilization to increase the light exposure time for our Destiny Seeds. I wonder if they still have such things? And how easy is it to buy them?"

Lord Zehui pondered for a moment and said, "I also know about these extraterrestrial creations. They are rare, expensive, and not cheap to buy."

Using it on ordinary life forms would probably be a waste of money. However, I do have an item with a similar function that I'd like to introduce to you, and it's quite practical.

The two double-forked rhinoceros tortoise warriors hurriedly asked, "What is that?"

You see, they already feel that one flashlight is not enough for the six life-seedlings of the yew tree. What's more, once the yew tree advances to the next age, another life-seedling will be added, which will be even more insufficient. In the future, more life-seedlings will be added one after another. They have an urgent need for this kind of extraterrestrial civilization creation.

Lord Zehui: "In our kingdom, there is also an extraterrestrial artifact called a light bulb. It can increase the light exposure time of hundreds of life-giving plants at once without any problem. However, it is also very expensive. I don't know if you are willing to buy it?"

"It can increase the amount of sunlight for hundreds of life-giving plants? How many raw stones would that take?" Zizhu stammered when she heard this.

If a flashlight can sell for 100,000 ore stones, then something that increases the light exposure time of hundreds of life plants must sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of ore stones.

Lord Zehui laughed and said, "Compared to flashlights, light bulbs are not expensive. A light bulb only costs 50 raw stones. However, the expensive part is not the bulb itself, but the items that come with it."

Upon hearing the price of the light bulbs mentioned by Lord Zehui, Lord Qingguo's eyes lit up: "50 raw stones per bulb? Then I'll take a thousand, no, two thousand. What kind of equipment is included?"

Lord Zehui was slightly speechless: "Lord Qingguo, please let me finish what I have to say."

"To make a light bulb generate electricity, you need to equip it with wires, a storage box, a generator, and even build a hydroelectric power station. All these things together will probably cost at least 500 million primal stones. That's assuming you have the talents of earth and metal elements. Otherwise, the price will be even higher."

"So expensive." Upon hearing the words of Lord Zehui, Lord Qingguo immediately hesitated. Their tribe, including its affiliated tribes, only had a total of over 600 Zerg warriors, most of whom were at the advanced stage, so their output was not high.

Five million raw stones is equivalent to half a year's output of their entire tribe, which is no small amount.

Seeing the expression on Lord Qingguo's face, Lord Zehui Mountain understood its dilemma and offered a way out: "This matter is not urgent. Generators and hydroelectric power stations are not without their own dangers."

Even if you want to install it, you have to wait until I teach the little soldiers all sorts of knowledge and let them understand this before you can start making it.

There's still plenty of time. Zishan and Ziai are out now; let's check on Zishan's condition first!

"Yes, yes, let's check on the condition of the yew tree first!"
