Chapter 111 I’ll Kill It
When Long Bai was promoted to the high-level ant king, the two god-given seeds Zhanlan and Nanqian followed and completed the sublimation of the life level and promoted to the high-level level.
The seeds given by the azure god are trees, which have no obvious changes, and no changes can be seen in a short period of time.
The changes in Nanqian's God-given seed were huge. Overnight, the mother plant withered, and within just two or three days, five thicker and more lush broad leaves regenerated.
The 18 ramets followed, the leaves turned yellow, withered, and leaf buds sprouted again, growing into new green leaves.
…
Cypress cypress and juniper cypress led the ant colony and continued to build the reservoir dam, one layer a day, and it was quickly completed.
The most important reservoir project is completed.
After a spring rain, the water level rose.
A bright sunny day.
Juniper and worker ants loosen the soil, weed and take care of the nursery in the orchard.
Long Bai suddenly had nothing to do. Bored, he also brought the worker ants with him to go around the reservoir where Nanqian was rooted, digging here, patching there, repairing the entire side, and strengthening it.
I was too busy in the past few years, but when I finally finished my work, I felt a little lazy.
Start work in the middle of the morning.
Finish work at dusk.
The Dominion Throne hovers over the water, communicates with Nanqian, teaches it some basic knowledge, and teaches it to recognize and understand the world.
Nan Qian has an extremely strong sense of territoriality. As soon as Mo Lan got close, he immediately burst into intense anger, threatening, intimidating, and driving him away.
This is the commonality of all God-given seeds in the natural system, and excludes all Force life except the Zerg with bonded connections.
Moreover, Nan Qian seems to be particularly arrogant.
Long Bai told it: In the north of the mountain, there is a God-given seed of Gorgon fruit that grows alongside you, named Bei Gorgon.
Nanqian: Really? You quickly arrange for the worker ants to dig a water channel, and I will go over and kill it.
Long Bai didn't dare to tell it that there was a blue god-given tree nearby.
Silently, he led the worker ants to reinforce the reservoir dam.
Apart from instinctively rejecting life in the Force, there are no other big problems.
Nanqian is like a newborn Zerg warrior.
Gluttonous, knowing that rough stones are good things, he always clamored for them from Long Bai.
After gaining a certain understanding of the world, just like Mo Lan when he was a child, he liked to listen to all kinds of novel experiences and interesting stories about the distant continent of all races.
It even listened to the traveling trade between Long Bai and Mo Lan in Yunji Continent with great interest. Like Mo Lan, it always wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask how many rough stones had been earned.
Subtly, Nan Qian is also a little obsessed with money.
The quiet flowing spring time.
"Longbai~Longbai~Longbai..."
Suddenly one night, Long Bai, who was sleeping, was awakened by the call of Nanqian's god-given seed.
"Nanqian?"
"I should be branching out. Take a look."
"!!!"
Long Bai used his mental energy and scanned the bottom of the pond. Among the 15 ramets on the periphery, there were 5 spores growing on the rhizomes.
"That's right, it's a branch."
"Cypress, once the branches grow out, can I bloom?"
"Yes."
"When will it grow up?"
"It depends on the weather. It lasts for ten days and a half."
"So what's the weather like today?"
"The moon is hazy. Cloudy."
…
Long Bai saw the third branch of Begonia last year. Everything was as expected, and there were no big surprises.
Nan Qian is also a bit verbose.
I took a rough stone, scraped it into powder, fed it to it, said a few words of comfort, and went back to sleep.
The next day,
A group of soldier ants were called over and stationed nearby. Long Bai also guarded them around the clock.
The ramets grow rapidly and spread along the stems.
Two days later, 75 stems arrived at the appropriate location, took root, and sprouted.
Three days later, the young shoots emerged from the water and their leaves began to unfold.
After a spring rain comes late spring with bright sunshine.
With sufficient natural light energy, the growth rate of new ramets is accelerated.
Two days later, the second broad leaf grew, and two days later, the third broad leaf grew...
…
"Your Majesty!"
"good news!"
In the mist-covered morning, the giant cypress who got up early to patrol the mountains ran to the reservoir, waving his tentacles to convey messages from a distance, shouting excitedly:
"Your Majesty, the azure god-given seeds are blooming again!"
"Um?"
"It's blooming!"
It’s only the end of spring——
Could it be that……
"Has the blue god-given seed bloomed ahead of schedule?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I have seen it bloom. I recognize it. It is absolutely correct."
"Let's go and take a look!"
…
God-given seeds evolve, the flowering period moves forward, and the fruiting period is delayed. These are common phenomena and are not surprising.
The ruling throne slowly approached the pond.
"Azure blue?" Long Bai called.
"...Long Bai." Zhan Lan responded.
"Long Bai, I think you can build a reservoir for me. We have more and more fish, and the pond is not enough."
"Oh! Okay..." Long Bai agreed reluctantly.
The blue tree is currently 15 meters tall and has grown into 21 broad leaves.
The largest broad leaf at the bottom is about 3.5 meters in diameter, but it is only less than one meter from the water.
The location where Azure takes root is the lowest part of the valley here. How to build this reservoir? Build it and store a little water half a meter deep? Isn’t that a swamp?
The throne of domination hovers next to the blue god-given tree.
Long Bai looked up and down, thinking.
Plants from alien civilizations are completely different from any natural plants.
Evolving to an advanced level of life, the blue is just from bottom to top, with the first to sixth broad leaves pulling out flower buds.
When the dragon cypress is an intermediate ant king, its first to four broad leaves bloom and bear fruit.
Now I basically understand the rules.
——Every time you complete a major life leap, the number of broad leaves that the azure god-given seed will bear fruit will increase by 2.
——Mountain Lord level 8 pieces? 10 pieces of lord level? King-level 12 films?
——But now the number of blue leaves is 21...
——Could it be said that above the king level...
Long Bai shook his head, not thinking about those things that were out of reach, and mentally scanned and took stock.
The leaves grow wider, corresponding to increased yield.
With 6 broad leaves, a total of 570 flower buds were extracted, and as expected, 570 blue fruits were produced.
This yield is not low.
"Ju Bai, you bring 100 specialized soldier ants and guard here." Long Bai ordered.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ju Bai agreed sonorously.
Long Bai turned around and asked Zhanlan, "Zhanlan, do you need top dressing?"
Zhanlan: "...I need a reservoir."
Long Bai: "I'll bring you some swamp water."
Zhanlan: "Where's the reservoir?"
Long Bai: "Build..."
…
Mo Lan, who got up early, flew over and saw the busy Longbai beside the biogas pool under the hill. He accelerated, dived, slowed down, and landed on the throne smoothly.
"Long Bai, what are you doing with the swamp water?"
“The azure flowering period is ahead of schedule.”
"Oh! That's great!"
Mo Lan kicked off her legs and flew quickly towards the azure god-given seed.
Long Bai used 20 bamboo tubes to fill the swamp with water, and carried them to the throne under the blue tree.
"Cypress, 570 flowers!"
"I've counted them."
"But Azure doesn't seem too happy about it."
"...It also wants a reservoir."
"Then let's repair it. It will be built sooner or later anyway."
"Currently, the plant height of the Azure God-given Seed is not high enough."
"Then just save some water."
Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, what do we need to do next? Open up wasteland and orchards?"
Long Bai: "It's not urgent."
Mo Lan: "Then build the reservoir!"
Long Bai: "I have a plan."
Long Bai explained: "Advanced specialized worker ants are being cultivated, and I am waiting for them to be born. My plan is to build two mountaintop reservoirs at the east and west ends of the mountain territory, close to the peaks, to store water for the reservoirs below the mountains. Just in case. At the same time, you can also raise fish to enrich the food source of the territory."
"Great!"
Mo Lan thought for a while and said, "Then we can repair the foundation of Zhanlan Reservoir first."
Long Bai: "..."
I can't make sense to you.
Long Bai was angry and helpless, and agreed: "That's okay! I'll listen to you."
Mo Lan was happy and suggested: "Long Bai, there are too many reservoirs that have been built or are to be built. Let's give them a name to make it easier to distinguish them."
"I have already thought about it. The reservoir where the God-given seeds of Bei Qian take root is called 'Bei Qian Reservoir'; the reservoir where Nan Qian takes root is called 'Nan Qian Reservoir'; the reservoir where Zhan Lan takes root is called 'Zhan Lan Reservoir'. The two newly dug Reservoir..."
Long Bai: "The one under the west peak is named 'Shanxi Reservoir', and the one under the east peak is named 'Shandong Reservoir'."
Mo Lan was stunned and said: "The answer is correct!"
