Chapter 775 Snow Bumblebee
Longbai spent a lot of time studying the seasoning of Force Ant Honey when he was still a mid-level warrior.
Later, it was the juniper, cedar, black birch, black peach, and black locust that made it.
Longbai understands it, but rarely does it himself and is not familiar with it.
…
…
Azure star system.
In the early autumn of the northern hemisphere of the Banlan star, the night temperature in the northern cold zone has dropped below the freezing point.
According to Hongshen and Wumei, the black-fruited cranberries produced in the cold highland plains are particularly sweet and delicious.
Longbai manipulated the beast and transformed into an ice flying centipede, carrying the nebula pomelo and a large group of blue soldiers, green soldiers, worker ants, flying ants, and blue ants, flying low in the sky, and traveled to the plateau.
Under the special climate, the black-fruited cranberries growing here are dwarfed, becoming creeping shrubs with a height of only 20 to 30 centimeters, almost growing close to the ground.
The fruits produced are small in size and small in quantity.
Picking and tasting, the taste is really good.
Longbai found a hilltop, dug a temporary ant nest, and arranged for blue ants to move in.
There was no danger on the planet, and the accompanying combat ant army was just a decoration. These guys seemed to understand this, and they wandered around in groups when they arrived.
Xingyunyou led the ant colony and directed the picking.
Lingonberries are berries with thin skins. When they are ripe, they may be damaged by a slight touch.
Picking them in the wild is feeding them to blue ants. The ants are refined on the spot and stored in the abdomen.
Xingyunyou was busy,
The combat ant colony wandering in the distance suddenly became agitated, quickly moved together, and took a combat alert posture.
The working workers and blue ants received the warning signal and stopped working one after another. They formed groups of three or five, some approached Xingyunyou, and some ran towards Longbai.
While running, they also released pheromones: King, help me~
“…”
Xingyunyou was surprised. With the soul strength of the peak level of the king, the mental power scanned and found no danger within a radius of one kilometer.
Besides, where is the danger on a newly opened planet?
"Come back! Come back!"
"Come back!"
"Work!"
"Work!"
"Collect! Collect!"
"Refine! Refine!"
Xingyunyou waved his antennae and issued an order to forcibly recall the logistics ants that had run away.
A clever specialized blue soldier ran forward and flicked his antennae to indicate: Over there, there is Force life
"Force life?!"
Xingyunyou was confused, and then reacted.
Longbai gave a death order to all the ants in the ant colony: Do not attack any Force life
The ant colony was instinctively alert.
Where did the Force life come from in this place? The only explanation is that there are little warriors born on this ice field.
"Great!"
"The king was still nagging two years ago that there were too few little warriors born in the past six hundred years."
Xingyunyou was delighted and issued an order: You! Lead the way!
The specialized blue soldier flicked his antennae to indicate to follow and ran away into the distance.
A large group of specialized blue and green soldiers followed.
Xingyunyou ran after them, scanning with his mental power along the way, and soon made a discovery.
Two bumblebees, three or four centimeters long, round and bloated, with a black base and a white stripe on their heads, chests and abdomens, were carrying freshly collected bilberries and flying low along the bushes.
Apparently, they also discovered the ant colony and sped up desperately.
"Bee tribe!"
"Snow bumblebees!"
"There is a snow bumblebee queen nearby!"
"A young queen bee at the primary level of evolution."
Xingyunyou was secretly delighted and waved his antennae to give orders.
The fighting ants that followed him stopped and retreated.
Xingyunyou followed the worker bees that were picking bilberries.
The distance was not far.
There was a small hill about seven or eight hundred meters away.
Bumblebees nest underground, and the hive was opened under the hill.
The scale was also very small, only more than one meter deep.
It should be a brand new little queen bee born in the summer. There are only a few hundred logistic, field and combat worker bees.
The desolate cold wind wrapped in the cold water vapor of the snow mountain whimpers endlessly. They sense that the severe winter is coming and are desperately digging deep underground to expand the nest chamber and store food.
The worker bees cultivated by the primary little queen bee are too stupid. The two worker bees leading the way found something unusual, but they didn't know to report to the queen bee. After entering the nest, they ate two mouthfuls of honey and hurried out of the nest again...
——Will it be scared?
Xingyunyou hesitated for a moment, slowly approached, gathered his mental power, and called softly: "Little Queen Bee~Little Queen Bee~"
The little queen bee who was directing the bee colony to dig deep to build the nest chamber shuddered, alert, and terrified.
The busy bee colony was aware of the danger at any time. Some of them protected the queen bee, while others rushed out of the hive aggressively...
Xingyunyou comforted: "Don't be afraid. I am an ant. I have no ill intentions. My name is Xingyunyou, what's your name?"
The little queen bee quickly reacted from the shock and hurriedly issued an order: Come back! Come back!
The combat worker bees that rushed out of the hive were also frightened when they saw the super-large ants in front of them. After receiving the order, they scrambled back to the hive.
Xingyunyou observed that the little queen bee was a little at a loss and continued to introduce:
"I am Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the assistant king under the command of Longbai Ant King."
"This is the blue star system contracted by Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, Banlan Star. According to the Zerg Civilization Convention, the Zerg warriors born here are funded and taken care of by our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce until they reach the Three Trace Realm."
Xianglan Chamber of Commerce?
Longbai Ant King?
Blue star system?
Zerg civilization?
Three Trace Realm?
The little queen bee did not understand the meaning of these words, but she roughly understood the meaning of the other party's words.
The little queen bee hesitated for a while, then directed the combat worker bees to line up, escorting her from front to back, and walked out of the hive.
He lay down at the entrance of the honeycomb hole and looked around.
Looking forward, he was immediately frightened and backed away tremblingly.
What a big black ant!
"Hello~"
Xingyunyou tried his best to make his mental power and thoughts appear amiable.
"..."
The little queen bee subconsciously retreated to the ant nest, hesitated for two seconds, resurfaced, and looked at Nebula You again.
——For such a big man, he must be at least a mountain lord-level assistant king, right?
——If the other party has malicious intentions, a small earthen nest cannot hide it.
The little queen bee's plump body shook and she calmly walked out of the cave.
With a weak soul and insufficient mental strength, it crawled on the ground and slowly approached, stopping about three meters away from Nebula Youzu.
"Hello~"
The little queen bee asked: "Powerful King Zuo of the Ant Tribe, do you have a problem with me?"
Xingyunyou: "..."
Nebula Youyou explained: "According to the rules, we can provide Force food to help you grow and evolve until you reach the Three Marks Realm."
"What is the Three Marks Realm?"
The little queen bee was puzzled.
Inheriting memories, the evolutionary levels of Zerg warriors are elementary, intermediate, advanced, as well as mountain lord, lord, and insect king, a total of six major levels.
Nebula You suddenly reacted and explained: "Beyond the Insect King is the Three Marks Realm."
"Above the Insect King?"
The little queen bee was stunned and startled, "Shouldn't there be a god of nature above the insect king?"
"How can it be!"
Xingyun Youyou explained in detail: "There are three realms above the Insect King: Three Marks, Nine Marks, Star Marks; Half Star, Planet, Star; Yao Realm, Chen Realm, Su Realm, and Domination Realm. It is still infinitely short of the Divine Realm. Far distance."
"ah--"
The little queen bee was stunned again.
Where do so many realms come from?
Why didn't you mention inheriting memories?
Then when and how long will it take for me to evolve into a being like a natural god?
The little queen bee asked: "What state are you in?"
Xingyunyou: "I am just king level."
Then you're not great either~
It's just that it's relatively big.
The little queen bee secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What state is your ant queen in?"
Nebula You: "Longbai Ant King is the pinnacle of the half-star realm."
peak?
The little queen bee did the math.
Still far from a natural god.
Still not great.
The little queen bee is no longer afraid.
"You just said that you can provide Force food?"
"Yes. We provide Force food to all Zerg born in the azure star system to help them evolve and grow until they reach the Three Marks Realm. After the Three Marks Realm, you can choose to join our Pandan Chamber of Commerce, or you can develop on your own."
"oh--"
The little queen bee questioned: "Above the Insect King is the Three Marks Realm? Then don't you only have the King Level? Do you also support other insects?"
Xingyun Youyou explained patiently: "I am also the new Zuo King who was just born. The old Zuo King who first followed the Dragon Cypress Ant King is already at the half-star level."
The little queen bee was doubtful, "The half-star realm isn't that powerful, right? There are many realms above."
Nebula You: "Looking at the universe, the half-star realm is indeed not powerful. But it is definitely not weak."
"The semi-star realm is the level of life in the universe. It has a long enough life and strong strength to carry out various interstellar activities."
"The planet under your feet was originally a desolate Death Star without a trace of life. It took more than four thousand years for our Pandan Chamber of Commerce to organize warriors to cultivate and manage it, and developed it into the prosperous life planet it is now."
"All life on this plateau, including you and the Snow Bumblebee group to which you belong, are the seeds of life that we, the Pandan Chamber of Commerce, have sown, protected and multiplied."
"oh--"
"So...it's pretty awesome..."
The little queen bee thought and asked: "Force food? Can I try it?"
"I carry no Force food."
Xingyunyou asked: "What's your name? You were just born, and you're still in the 1st instar? What did you choose for your first life seed?"
Little Queen Bee: "..."
Little Queen Bee: "Hilberry."
Xingyunyou: "Then your name..."
Little Queen Bee: "Black bilberry?"
Xingyunyou: "Uh..."
Xingyunyou waved his tentacles and said, "I'll take you to see the Longbai Ant King!"
…
…
This trip is boring, so I came out to get some delicious food.
Just a short break for two days.
Long Bai commanded the ant colony and simply dug a few nest chambers at the foot of the majestic snow-capped mountains. He then commanded the specialized blue ants to settle in and it was considered complete.
After finishing his work, he came out of the nest and was about to carefully examine the distribution of living creatures around him. When he suddenly realized something, he turned around in confusion and looked into the distance.
Xingyun Youyou acted alone and walked towards this side unhurriedly.
As soon as his soul-fixing ability was swept away, he immediately understood the situation.
Found the little Zerg warrior!
Queen bee!
Snow bumblebee!
A group of graceful snow bumble bee warriors with black background and white stripes were guarding a queen bee that was about four centimeters in length, flying low behind Nebula Youyou.
"Your Majesty!"
Xingyun Youyou called with vibrating mental power from a long distance, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, I found a little queen bee!"
"Saw."
Long Bai responded and stepped forward.
"Hurry up and say hello. Chief Longbai."
Nebula Pomelo prompts.
"..."
The little queen bee was confused.
Shouldn't it be Long Bai Ant King?
Big boss? What kind of strange name is this?
Are you still not a Zerg?
The little queen bee hovered and landed on a black bilberry, waved her tentacles, and greeted: "Hello~"
"Hello~"
Long Bai looked at it closely and asked: "Primary stage 1? What did you choose for the first seed?"
The little queen bee pointed her tentacles downward and said: "Black bilberry."
Long Bai asked: "Do you have a name?"
The little queen bee shook her tentacles in confusion.
Long Bai looked at Nebula Pomelo and said, "Then you can call it 'Nebula Cranberry'."
Little Queen Bee: "..."
Little Queen Bee: "I heard that you provide Force food to help me evolve?"
Long Bai: "Yes."
Little Queen Bee: "Well, please tell me, who can I get the Force food from?"
Xingyunyou was speechless and said helplessly: "This little guy came here with me because he heard about free force food."
"Those who grew fat when they were young are usually smarter than insects."
Long Bai made an objective comment and ordered: "Nebula Cranberry, you follow Nebula Pomelo first and wait for a while. I will go back to the ant nest to get the force food and will be back soon."
Nebula Huckleberry: "Okay-"
Long Bai kicked his legs into the air, wind and thunder energy surged, flickering, his wingless ability activated, and disappeared into the sky.
Heading south at top speed.
Soon, more than two thousand kilometers away, through soul connection, I sensed the 'artist' sitting deep in the ant nest in North District 1001, meditating on the throne of control.
The artist traveled through space, teleported here, and then transformed into a half-ant artist, carrying Long Bai across space and back to the frigid plateau.
"!!!"
Nebula Cranberry was startled by the sudden appearance of the half-ant-shaped artist in front of her eyes, and was stunned when she saw the artist shrink rapidly and turn into a blue-purple-red water droplet and sink into Long Bai's forehead.
A light flashed on Long Bai's forehead, and a metal can appeared out of thin air, floating in front of him, and the lid of the can automatically unscrewed.
Bend the tentacles and tap lightly, and the soil in front of you will squirm, turn into a disk, and condense and solidify.
From the metal can, a drop of golden ant king honey flew out and fell into the plate.
Nebula Huckleberry stared blankly, and stared blankly again.
"Is this the Half-Star Realm?"
"So many abilities?"
"It's too strong!"
"What ability was that just now?"
"Why did you show up all of a sudden?"
"Is this Force food?"
"Where did you get it?"
When I came back to my senses, there was a long list of questions that became more and more incredible the more I thought about them.
Amazing!
God-like power.
Is this just a half-star realm?
How powerful would the God of Nature be?
"Nebula Cranberry, this is the King Ant Honey I prepared, please try it quickly."
Xing Yunyou greeted.
"oh--"
Nebula Cranberry's worries were completely dispelled.
To deal with such a terrifying existence, isn't it just a matter of moving its tentacles?
Nebula Cranberry pays attention to maintaining the elegance that a queen bee should have, hovering, landing on the stone plate, burying her head, rolling her tongue, taking away a little ant honey, and tasting it with her head raised.
"tasty!"
Nebula Cranberry then asked: "Is this Force food? It seems, very powerful~"
Xingyunyou patiently explained: "This is of course not ordinary force food. This is super high-quality god-given force food produced from the god-given seeds of the Mark Realm and Star Realm."
"Our Pandan Chamber of Commerce is rich, and the leader of Longbai is grand, so we use the best force food to support the young warriors. Other chambers of commerce do not have such good treatment."
"oh--"
"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"
Nebula Cranberry flicked its tentacles to show its understanding. With its two to three centimeter long tongue, it spit out a roll, and most of the ant honey in the plate was rolled into its belly. Then it spit out another roll, and a drop of ant honey was swept away.
"Delicious!"
Nebula Cranberry looked up at the low-hanging metal can and said regretfully: "But the strengthening effect of this god-given force food is too powerful. I feel that I can't eat too much every day..."
After saying that, he lay down quietly, silently absorbing and digesting the original energy into his body.
"This is the smart bug!"
Long Bai praised again.
There is a shadow of my own childhood.
Nebula Pomelo asked: "Your Majesty, the seeds of Nebula Cranberry have not been sown yet. Can they take root in a place with better climate conditions?"
"Of course~!"
Long Bai: "We can arrange to go to Gray Pine Mountain to take root. Is Scale Oak in charge there?"
"The bees and ants in the weak stage have a strong sense of territoriality and low judgment ability out of instinct, and conflicts with other insect groups are bound to break out."
"You can arrange for Nebula Cranberry to open another hive a little further away from Gray Pine Mountain. Nebula Pomelo, you can protect it secretly."
"In two or three years, they will evolve to the intermediate level and have the ability to protect themselves, so they won't need to take special care of them. In the future, they will evolve to the mountain master level and their worker bees will have better identification abilities, so it will be less likely to conflict with other insects."
Xingyunyou happily agreed: "I understand. Your Majesty."
Nebula Cranberry: "..."
Nebula Cranberry raised her head, wanting to say something, but after looking at the suspended metal can, she lowered her head and fell silent.
…
…
There are six living planets in the azure star system. Long Bai ordered that a territory dedicated to the survival of little warriors be established in the tropical and temperate regions of the northern hemisphere of each living planet.
The little warrior will take root on the planet where he was born.
All young warriors can choose two or three plants they like as life seeds, but for the remaining quotas, they must give priority to top-level plants such as soul-building trees, black lotus, cypress, and silver cypress as life seeds.
…
Gray Pine Mountain is a territory located in the temperate zone of the Banlan Star.
Longbai took the Nebula Bilberry and personally helped it choose a mountain to take root.
It stayed nearby and successfully passed the winter. It assisted the Throne of Domination and completed two molting evolutions before it was left to the care of Nebula Pomelo.
…
…
Managing the zero-level source point is divided into two modes: rough management and fine management.
Intensive farming is divided into Zerg warrior management and ant and bee management.
A single Zerg warrior can only manage a garden of several hundred square kilometers at most.
The advantage is that Zerg warriors can learn and master some abilities to assist plant growth, and can manage plants more accurately and better. They can also select and breed high-quality new varieties of plants by learning corresponding technologies.
The ants and bees use their assistant kings to command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ants to achieve large-scale management. One assistant king can manage tens of thousands of square kilometers of gardens.
The disadvantage is that worker ants and bees have little independent thinking ability. They can only work instinctively or follow the instructions of the ant king and assistant king. They lack the ability to identify, recognize and solve problems.
The gardens managed by the ants and bees must have hundreds or thousands of high-quality plants planted in a mixed manner, otherwise it is easy to cause ecological imbalance.
In the intensive farming mode, the Zerg warriors and the ants and bees have their own advantages and disadvantages.
However, most chambers of commerce prefer to invite ants and bees to cooperate when operating zero-level source points.
The cooperation model is roughly divided into two types: either paying a fixed salary; or sharing the profits.
...
The situation on the Azure Star System is different.
The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has the soul-building tree, a crucial species, and the black lotus, a unique species.
It is necessary to guard against seed leakage.
There is also the secret of the technological star core that needs to be kept.
Therefore,
Longbai does not intend to allow foreign insects to participate in the management of the Azure Star System.
Longbai himself is the ant king, and can cultivate more assistant kings. In time, when the number of assistant kings increases, the refined management of the entire star system can be achieved.
As for the queen bee like Nebula Bilberry, one more is not too much, and one less is not too little. She is good at collecting honey, which is a unique skill that Longbai's ant colony is not good at.
Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has work to provide to Nebula Bilberry, and it can also support itself through work.
Considering the long-term,
Xianglan Chamber of Commerce can recruit a few more ant kings and queen bees. Six life planets, 3 billion square kilometers, can accommodate them.
In the future, the leasing and operation of the second and third zero-level source points may also need to find ant kings and queen bees from the Boshuwan Lianzhong Kingdom to cooperate.
