Chapter 340 - 340 342 The Fruit of Bloodline Evolution News

?Chapter 340: Chapter 342: The Fruit of Bloodline Evolution, News from the One-eyed Giant Tribe (13,000-word Mega Chapter) Chapter 340: Chapter 342: The Fruit of Bloodline Evolution, News from the One-eyed Giant Tribe (13,000-word Mega Chapter) The attributes of the Death Spider Queen might not be exceptional, but Lide was still in a good mood.

Because it was cheap.

Feeding it Bright Silver Grass, which was used for feeding pigs, could meet the needs of the Death Spider Queen, and that was indeed rare.

Feeding it grass and getting eggs in return—was there anything more satisfying than that?

After confirming that the Death Spider Queen was in good condition, Lide readily taught Randy and the breeding farm how to breed the Death Spiders.

After all, at this point, breeding spiders didn’t seem much different from breeding pigs.

Everything could be raised like pigs.

Lide felt quite reflective on this; the breeding farm not only provided a large amount of meat for the residents, but also all the food for the Magic Language Bats, which were an important mode of transportation and labor force for Dawn City and also a part of Dawn Wings Air Force.

It could be said that the development of Dawn City was entirely dependent on the breeding farm, to sum it up—pig farming was the right and proper way to wealth and development.

The only thing that slightly dissatisfied Lide was that the Death Spider Queen’s egg-laying was too slow.

At present, it could produce 200 eggs per day, and that was just 6,000 a month.

Monsters like the Cave Spider, which were mass-produced, were much weaker than normal human professionals and Beastman Warriors; a fully armed Beastman could handle three or four Cave Spiders simultaneously, and that was one of the reasons why despite being under intense attack from the Cave Spiders, Dawn City with only tens of thousands of troops could stand unshaken as Gray Stone Fortress.

Death Spiders, although they were from an ancient and extinct race, Lide did not believe they could escape this pattern—no matter how strong they were, their strength was likely limited.

Therefore, increasing the egg production was undoubtedly necessary.

After looking through the Death Spider Queen’s attributes a few more times, Lide became contemplative.

“I wonder if the Thorns Holy Fruit produced by the Thorns Heart could be of any use to the Death Spider Queen… If it could promote a transformation and enhance the egg production…

It might be worth a try.”

Although the attributes of the Death Spider Queen weren’t impressive, it was easy to rear and the cost of creating Death Spiders was very low, a prominent feature that made Lide decide immediately to continue investing in it.

The Thorns Holy Fruit produced by the Thorns Heart could purify the bloodline, undoubtedly making it the best choice at the moment.

After securing the extremely important resource point of the Magic Crystal Veins for Dawn City, the energy problem that had previously shackled Dawn City was broken.

Now, although it couldn’t be said that Magic Crystal Stones were abundant enough to be used carelessly, at the very least, there was no longer a need to be as frugal as before.

And the Thorns Holy Fruit was grown with the help of Magic Crystal Stones, now that Lide had become a wealthy landlord, he had plenty of leeway.

Thinking it, he would do it; hesitation had never been part of his character.

After issuing a strict order forbidding the Death Spider Queen from harming anyone, allowing the big-bellied spider to feed on rotting Bright Silver Grass, he instantly teleported to the Dawn Church through the Land of Bone-Burying.

It had to be said that what satisfied Lide the most was the Land of Bone-Burying’s ability for long-distance instantiation.

As long as he had been to the place, or the Land of Bone-Burying had left a trace there, he could directly manipulate the power of space to open a Plane Gate for instant teleportation.

This feature was incomparable for travel, not to mention combat.

Within an 800-kilometer radius, it simply soared.

Dawn City could construct passages and the city itself so quickly in the Underworld, and this function that shortened distances absolutely played a critical role.

Such an improvement in efficiency was tantamount to increasing the workforce by several times for the overall construction progress of Dawn City.

Lide directly appeared on the second floor of the Dawn Church.

The moment he stepped out of the Space Gate, a figure wearing a pure white priest robe, tall and slender, came walking directly towards him; the two almost collided, but thankfully Lide swiftly stepped to the side.

“Ah~”

A clear cry rang out in the corridor. Nicole looked at Lide, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, first in surprise and then in delight.

“Kachar City Lord~”

The girl’s face showed an irrepressible joy upon seeing Lide, as she walked forward in a few steps, and her eyes brimmed with emotions like ripples on water.

Looking at the girl who was now 1.75 blade-tall, fully grown from the tiny bean she had been, Lide felt somewhat sentimental.

When he had met Nicole, the girl had just turned 15 years old, very thin and small, and her quirky eyes had left a deep impression on him.

Now, the girl who looked somewhat similar to Sister Nilo and whose beauty was second to none had grown up.

Perhaps the only thing that hadn’t changed were those same lively eyes, still carrying a bit of quirkiness.

“Nicole, where are you off to, and where is Nilo?”

“Kachar City Lord, we have built a new church in the new district, and I’m going to check on the progress…”

The girl was very cheerful after seeing Lide, her large eyes curved into crescents, and she looked smilingly at the handsome figure that made one’s heart race; it had been a very long time since she last saw Lide.

“Sister’s leading 20 Dawn Priests into the Underworld. Someone got hurt and needs our healing…”

The construction of the new district wasn’t just about building residential areas; all supporting facilities were included. Churches, hospitals, and even city halls have branches in the new district – it’s a complete new city.

Lide nodded. Nilo was always busy and often ran off on missions, whereas Nicole liked to stay at the center, commanding the general affairs; the two sisters had completely different personalities.

He skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

“How many Thorns Holy Fruits are there on the Thorns Heart now?”

After Thorns Heart was nurtured with the Power of Faith and Demon Crystals by Vina, Lide appointed it as the holy object of the Dawn Sect.

Also, because of the perfecting of the Dawn Sect, his Divine Position was improved by 1%.

The Thorns Heart is an ancient vine that can bear fruit that purifies the Bloodline – the Thorns Holy Fruit – after absorbing a large amount of energy.

However, the cost is quite expensive; approximately one Thorns Holy Fruit requires Magic Crystals worth 200,000 Gold Puck to cultivate, so previously, Dawn City didn’t invest much in it as it was somewhat unaffordable.

Now, with the Magic Crystal Vein, the expensive cost could no longer hinder him at all.

The Thorns Heart is the top priority on the supply list after Dawn City took over the Magic Crystal Vein.

“Lord City Lord, in the past few days, the City Hall has brought in about 100,000 high-grade Magic Crystals, producing 20 Thorns Holy Fruits. Including the previous stock, there are a total of 30 Thorns Holy Fruits on the Thorns Heart now…”

Magic crystal stones are categorized into inferior, common, intermediate, high-grade, and the best star magic crystal stones, as well as the extremely rare high-grade star magic crystal stones.

Inferior magic crystal stones are very cheap, and most of them contain low energy, suitable only for powering magic lamps.

The common and intermediate magic crystal stones cost about 1 to 5 Gold Pucks each and are frequently used in standard magic arrays and intermediate-level magic arrays.

High-grade magic crystal stones go for about 20 Gold Pucks each on the market and are essential for advanced-level magic arrays.

Star magic crystal stones are even more valuable, costing 200 to 300 Gold Pucks each.

As for the best high-grade star magic crystal stones, they are priceless, commanding prices equivalent to those of mithril.

Magic crystal stones, in all their glory, have a higher status as a pure source of energy than Earth’s oil, with wide applications across various fields: military, civilian, alchemy, magic…anywhere energy is needed, magic crystal stones can be used.

This is the most common and yet most precious resource in Glory.

This is also why Lide felt so confident upon acquiring that exceedingly rich vein of magic crystal ore in the Spider Cave.

Having several large oil fields at home is even more thrilling than owning a mountain of gold.

“30 pieces…”

Lide nodded slightly. To purchase materials and cultivate these thirty Thorns Holy Fruits according to previous methods would require 6 million Gold Pucks.

Even someone wealthy wouldn’t burn money like that.

Now with the magic crystal ore, the only cost of the Thorns Holy Fruit was the labor time of the mining workers.

Of course, if one were to calculate the cost based on external prices, it wouldn’t change, but for Dawn City, such materials couldn’t be bought with Gold Pucks, so comparability was limited.

“Go and fetch 5 pieces.”

Lide found himself somewhat nostalgic for the taste of the Thorns Holy Fruit.

Since he last ate two pieces, he hadn’t had any more.

Mainly because he had been too busy, warring in the Underworld and forgetting about them, also because the Thorns Holy Fruits were prohibitively expensive to produce and were in pitifully short supply.
