Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Column Spotted: "This situation is more complicated..."

White Ivy complained: "Column Spotted, everything is complicated with you, and you can’t explain it clearly."

Column Spotted helplessly said: "This is truly complicated, and I don’t know much about it."

Poison Bean questioned: "Aren’t you in charge of the Star Spider passenger and dispatch work?"

Column Spotted: "Yes. I’m not responsible for Star Spider sales."

Column Spotted changed his approach and asked: "So, which level Star Spider are you planning to buy?"

Poison Bean shouted: "Level Three!"

Bang!

White Ivy knocked Poison Bean down with a claw, pondering, said: "For a long time to come, our White Ivy Chamber of Commerce should be shuttling back and forth between a Second Level Origin Point and nearby First Level Origin Points, as roving merchants."

Column Spotted: "Then a First Level Star Spider is barely enough!"

Poison Bean murmured: "Chairman White Ivy, Column Spotted looks down on you..."

White Ivy asked: "How about the Second Level? The kind with 50 to 100 times the speed of light."

"Second Level?!"

Column Spotted: "Does it come with World Space?"

White Ivy: "Without the space."

Column Spotted: "Then how many insects should it carry? Do you want a small cargo hold?"

White Ivy: "My Shanglu Space has already started to metamorphose into ’Huan’. My Star Spider must be as light as possible."

Column Spotted: "Oh! As expected of my most formidable elder, White Ivy!"

"In that case, it’s good! A cheap one can be taken down for 20 to 30 billion, but if it’s expensive, it could be over a hundred billion."

Column Spotted lowered his spiritual power mind and said: "There’s a lot of operational space in buying and selling Star Spiders. Chairman White Ivy, find Seven-Leaf and ask for a discount."

"Also, a Star Spider is made up of tens of thousands of parts, produced separately by numerous Insect Clan Chambers of Commerce and Human Clan Chambers of Commerce. Ordinary chambers like the Luoli Chamber of Commerce would order parts through various channels, assemble them, and it’s their own Star Spider."

"The most professional is the Moluan Chamber of Commerce, an old chamber from Dawn Star System, whose main business is the production and manufacturing of Star Spiders and Starships, mastering the manufacturing technology of core components, stable performance, sturdy and durable, and the price is alright..."

Column Spotted concluded: "Either find Seven-Leaf for low-price purchase or buy from Moluan Chamber."

White Ivy: "Got it!"

Other insects continued to question Column Spotted, asking about various situations in the White Crystal Star System.

More than a thousand insects, one after another, boarded the Star Spider and left for a First Level Origin Point Star System near the Honeysuckle Star System.

After sending off the last batch of insects,

White Ivy activated the Nightfall Ability, raising a black protective shield, enveloping all the insects within.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, the rent for a Second Level Origin Point is too high. Are you sure you want to take root at a Second Level Origin Point? I think it might be better if we be flexible, temporarily finding a relatively prosperous First Level Origin Point. Concentrate our limited wealth to do other more important things. For example, leasing a Zero Level Origin Point..."

Dragon Cypress gently shook his antennae.

Ink Orchid hesitated: "Shall we ask elsewhere?"

Dragon Cypress said: "First, those residing at Second Level Origin Points are major forces that have developed for hundreds of thousands to millions of years, they are numerous and wealthy. If we want to do Bee King Honey and gene reagent trade, and want to grow big, it’s best to take root at a Second Level Origin Point, it’s convenient."

"Second, in a high Origin Force concentration environment, Origin Force Plants grow better and faster. Our team, though small in insect population, doesn’t lack God-Given Origin Force Plants, using Primordial Gemstones, can quickly evolve to Half Star Realm. After reaching Half Star Realm, the demand for Origin Force itself is already high. Considering the overall situation, rooting at a Second Level Origin Point isn’t a loss."

Dragon Cypress: "Third, the issue of Zero Level Origin Points isn’t urgent, let’s not consider it for now. Let’s take it step by step, first focus on improving our existing Origin Force Plants, first expand the Bee King Honey and gene reagent trade."

White Ivy: "Oh—"

White Ivy: "Then shall we go to the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System first to see the situation?"

Dragon Cypress lightly tapped his antennae: that’s the idea

Red Peach raised a claw and said: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I think we could try leasing a Zero Level Origin Point. I mean, let’s first see how much authority Chairman Shuigan has..."

Dragon Cypress’s eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"

Red Peach: "First, perhaps everyone hasn’t noticed, Gan, Giant Taro, Pond Silk, they all left the home planet in the same batch. They have a good relationship, but it’s only a friendship, there’s no kinship."

"Second, from my observation, most Flame Spiders are greedy, placing no emphasis on friendship in the face of great benefits."

"Third, according to the information from the White Tower Alliance, Gan and Giant Taro are unlikely to share with Pond Silk. Pond Silk certainly doesn’t know what your relationship with Gan and Giant Taro is, nor does it know where your Third-Level Materials come from."

"We can use these three points to cleverly scheme and tactfully seize an opportunity."

Spider: "..."

Silvergrass humbly asked: "Red Peach, did you derive the conclusion that Flame Spiders do not value friendship from observing Poison Bean?"

Poison Bean, annoyed, said: "Nonsense! Red Peach has spent the most time with you and White Ivy, it’s obviously from observing the two of you! Or maybe..."

Poison Bean turned around, glaring at Column Spotted, his eight eyeballs flashing crimson.

Column Spotted was furious and raised his claw to strike.

"Quiet!"

White Ivy swung her claw, suppressing Poison Bean and Column Spotted, gravely said: "Red Peach, I think your idea is good, please continue."

Red Peach: "It’s very simple. It can be done through language and behavior to confuse and mislead. Then, appropriately take out some good stuff to make that Chairman Shuigan mistakenly think we have a lot of precious materials from the home planet in our claws. Use tangible benefits to arouse his greed..."

...

Half a month later,

Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid and the group set off again, boarding the Star Spider heading to the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System.

Almost all Life Planets built by the Insect Clan Civilization are divided into hexagonal territories with a side length of 100 kilometers.
