Chapter 1229

No wonder Diakos's eyes were glowing. It could share the profits of the trade route it pioneered? Doesn't that mean that pioneering a trade route means lying down and collecting money?

"More or less. In the future, for trade conducted by the chamber of commerce through my trade route, I will extract five percent of the profit. Lying down and collecting money? It should be lying down and collecting crystals," Diakos said with a smile.

"How long can you collect? Do you have to take five percent of every transaction? Are others willing to give it all the time? If they leave the chamber of commerce and trade privately, won't you collect a single cent?" Nigris said.

Diakos rubbed his hands and said: "The president said that in the early stage, he will guarantee it for me. At least within ten years, I can collect the trade route tax. After ten years, if I still can't control the trade route, then I am a fool, and he won't care about me."

"Uh, what does that mean? How to control the trade route? Can the trade route be locked so others can't use it?" Nigris asked, puzzled.

"There are too many methods. The president said to build logistics, build post stations, build pack teams, build guard teams, build... build bandit groups... basically, you can firmly control the trade route," Diakos said.

"Good fellow, this dead treacherous merchant, taught you everything. So that's why you want to buy our stick insect, preparing to use it as a pack beast, right?" Nigris complained.

Even the means of forming bandit groups to increase transportation costs and force caravans to use guard services were taught. Silver Coin really didn't hide anything.

"Yes, Lord, your stick insect has a brand. I thought it was brought here for sale. Most of the descendants sold here are those that cannot fly. Those that can fly are too powerful and don't have restriction brands. I can't control them," Diakos said.

Even Gampasa, which was once the lowest-level Earth Rank, is a descendant and much stronger than a secondary descendant like Diakos. However, in the slave market, the descendants brought up might be slaves, but secondary descendants are generally here to buy slaves.

Anthony took up the conversation and asked: "How long have you been here? Introduce the situation here to us? For example, how large is the population? What is produced? What is needed? How many forces are there? Who governs this place, etc."

"Yes, Lord. I have been here for a long time, arriving before the second light disaster. Oh, they don't call it light disaster here; they call it Star God Boiling. I can't calculate the specific population. This place is too big. I have been here for so long, and I haven't even finished turning two leaves."

Two leaves sound insignificant, but each leaf is almost two thousand kilometers long and one thousand kilometers wide, and double-sided. Finishing two leaves is eight million square kilometers...

The side facing down is directly facing the sun, which is the sunny side. When the light disaster breaks out, basically very few people can stay there. The side they are on now is the shady side. Although there is no direct sunlight, the surrounding leaves will reflect light, and the illumination is not low.

"What is produced here is mainly origin crystals. It is this kind, which contains powerful origin power. It is something that every Star God descendant and secondary descendant needs. As for demand..." Speaking of this, Diakos smiled bitterly:

"I really don't know what people here need. They don't need to eat or drink, don't need to study or earn money. If the Star God doesn't perish, they won't die. Even in my tribe, everyone wants light-shielding cloaks, but the descendants here don't like them. They are not as fragile as us secondary descendants. When the light disaster comes, they just endure it and adapt."

"I haven't opened the trade route until now, just like a story the president told me: A shoe merchant came to a new continent, but found that the people here don't wear shoes," Diakos said distressedly.

Anthony comforted: "You continue to speak. After you finish, I will tell you what the descendants here need."

Diakos looked at Anthony with suspicion and continued: "The manager here is the Tree God. It shelters all creatures, but it generally doesn't care about our fighting. If someone fights, the Tree God won't care, as long as this place isn't burned."

Nigris couldn't help but roll its eyes. The temperature on the sunny side here is thousands of degrees, even rocks can melt. Who else can burn this place?

However, everyone understood Diakos's meaning. The Tree God won't care about fighting and brawling. It is estimated that even if some are beaten to death or injured, the Ten Thousand Worlds God Tree won't care, because the plant system is very 'natural', and birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of nature. As long as there is no large-scale extinction, they probably won't care.

However, the Tree God is the Tree God, but this Ten Thousand Worlds God Tree is now parasitized by the Guman snake. No one knows what its personality is.

"The Tree God doesn't care about small things, but usually, some Void Tree People and high-level Star God descendants maintain order. But recently, I don't know what happened. The leader of the Void Tree People disappeared, leaving only some ordinary Void Tree People and Star God descendants. A few days ago, the God Tree threw out another vine, throwing it to an unknown place. I guess something must have happened outside," Diakos suddenly lowered his voice and said in a low voice.

Nigris curled its lips: "This Void Tree Person leader, wouldn't it be called Mote?"

Diakos was stunned for a moment: "It is indeed called Mote. How did you know?"

Nigris curled its lips and didn't speak. Of course it knew; that Mote was killed by the Cang Star God.

After introducing the situation it knew, Diakos asked: "Lord, do you know what needs Star God descendants have?"

Diakos, as a Star God secondary descendant, doesn't know what Star God descendants need. Anthony actually dares to say he knows? It doesn't quite believe it.

Anthony smiled faintly: "Life's needs are divided into five levels. The lowest level is physiological needs, such as eating, drinking, and sleeping. Star God descendants don't have them, and you secondary descendants don't either, right?"

Diakos nodded.

"Next is safety needs. When you wanted to buy a light-shielding cloak, was it because the light disaster made you unsafe?" Anthony asked.

Diakos nodded thoughtfully.

"Next is social needs, respect needs, self-actualization needs. Not to mention anything else, do you know what the stick insect's strongest need is? It wants to upgrade. It can't fly, and it wants to upgrade into a descendant that can fly," Anthony gestured to Gampasa and said.

As expected of a merchant, Diakos blinked and immediately realized something was wrong. It looked at Gampasa and then at Anthony, and asked in shock: "It can't fly? But it is now... Lord, can you let it upgrade?"

Anthony nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Ang, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up.

I saw that in the pit under Ang's feet, among the broken shells and debris, a black, shiny bug shook its wings, and while gnawing on the wood in the pit, it laid an egg with force.

Nigris's heart trembled. Although it knew Ang would succeed, it was still very shocked after it was completed. In just over half an hour, Ang actually cultivated a bug that could withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees and could gnaw on the leaves of the God Tree.
