Chapter 14 Double Output

Upon hearing the analysis of the Green Bamboo King, the insects were initially disappointed, but then overjoyed.

Don't say that the divine seeds nurtured by yew are less valuable than the output value of similar divine seeds, let alone 30 times or 20 times the output. Even if it is only twice the output, it is still a happy thing for everyone.

Moreover, this is a divinely bestowed seed, not one that is randomly generated. What does that mean? It means that yew trees can freely choose tree species to cultivate into divinely bestowed seeds.

What does it matter if the yield is low? Just choose high-quality tree species, choose tree species that enhance strength. Yew trees are divinely bestowed species that enhance strength.

Choosing tree species that enhance life attributes will result in divinely bestowed seeds that enhance life attributes, which are far superior to ordinary life pods.

This is equivalent to naturally increasing the tribe's selection of 54 divinely bestowed seeds.

It's important to know that the entire Two-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle tribe doesn't even have 54 Divine Seeds combined. If we calculate it this way, it's equivalent to more than doubling the overall wealth of their entire Two-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle tribe.

At this moment, Zihuai remembered a question and raised its paw to ask: "King Qingzhujia, the seed nurtured by Zishan is a male mulberry tree. I remember Zizhu once said that some warriors in our tribe would nurture one or two male trees as seeds so that they could pollinate the female seeds and improve their quality."

If this particular plant blooms, and its male flowers are used to pollinate ordinary plants, will it improve the fruit quality of the ordinary plants?

Lord Zili replied, "I know that, and I've looked into it."

"There is a fruit fly tribe in the northern part of Xiangjiao Island. They have a male bayberry tree that blooms every April and can pollinate more than 20 bayberry species."

"Ordinary bayberry species can produce divinely bestowed bayberries after being pollinated by the divinely bestowed male flowers, but the quality is lower, belonging to the lowest grade of divinely bestowed primal force food."

"Moreover, the fruit ripening period has been extended considerably, from once a year to once every three years."

"They have nurtured many varieties of bayberry, and they have planned to use male flowers to pollinate 20 bayberry varieties in rotation every year."

The bayberry has a lot of flesh, and its effect is to strengthen the shell's toughness. Many Zerg warriors can use this. Every August, they hold a Bayberry Festival, where mountain lord-level warriors can pay 3,000 Primogems to eat as much bayberry flesh as they want.

"Huh?" Zizhu was a little confused. "Lord Zili, how come I didn't know about this? When will you take me to see what the Yangmei Festival is like?"

Lord Zili flicked his tentacles and tapped Zizhu twice lightly: "You're only a high-level warrior, it's too much of a loss for you to go. Once you advance to the Mountain Lord level, I'll sign you up for the competition."

Then the insects brought the topic back to the main point: "Ordinary species will have a lower yield after being pollinated by the divinely bestowed male flower, but the quality can reach the level of the divinely bestowed."

Overall, the total output of each tree increased by about 15 times, but they changed from producing once a year to producing once every 3 years. In other words, the output of each individual tree only increased by 5 times.

However, they pollinate a large number of plants. If each of the 60 plants produces 5 times more yield per year, that's a total increase of 300 times, which is almost 6 times more than the yield from a single female plant of the "divine gift."

"Thanks to this divinely bestowed male seed, the fruit fly tribe has accumulated a great deal of wealth."

"So that means the male mulberry seed of the yew tree can pollinate ordinary mulberry seed, allowing their fruits to also become divinely bestowed primal energy food?"

"Not only that, if the male flowers of the mulberry tree can pollinate more than 20 seedlings, then we will have added 20 more divinely bestowed seeds with low yields. Moreover, the strengthening effect of mulberry is no less than that of bayberry, and its effect is even more extensive. Maybe in the future we can also hold a mulberry tournament like the fruit fly tribe."

"Mulberry Festival, Mulberry Festival!" The insects jumped and cheered.

"Something's not right!" Zitong realized the blind spot.

"The fruit fly tribe does not have the divinely bestowed female bayberry seed, so they combine the divinely bestowed male flower with ordinary seed to cultivate. However, our Double-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle tribe has the divinely bestowed mulberry seed, and more than one."

"If we pollinate the divinely bestowed male flower with the divinely bestowed female flower, will the quality of the fruit be elevated to another level?"

King Qingzhu looked at Zitong approvingly; this little fellow was very clever.

"Force foods of the same quality are classified as low-quality, medium-quality, and high-quality based on the different plants and enhancement effects."

"Divinely-given foods don't have such fine classifications; almost every type of divinely-given food is top-tier within its category."

"But that doesn't mean there aren't special cases. For example, as I just mentioned, if you use a divinely bestowed male flower to pollinate a female flower, the resulting divinely bestowed food will be of lower quality than the fruit produced by pollinating a divinely bestowed female flower, but it will still be of higher quality than the fruit produced by ordinary life seeds."

"However, we must remember that most plants in nature are monoecious, and only a small number of plants are dioecious."

Theoretically speaking, the fruits produced by our tribe's divinely bestowed mulberry tree are not as potent as other divinely bestowed seeds of the same type. However, if pollinated by divinely bestowed male flowers, their quality can reach the highest level.

"The higher the quality of the fruit, the higher the premium!"

"Oh." The insects clicked their tongues in disappointment. The divinely bestowed male flower pollinating the divinely bestowed female flower didn't seem to have improved the quality much.

King Qingzhu said irritably, "You guys should be content. Some Zerg warriors have calculated that the entire Xiangjiao Island has a land area of ​​over 13 square kilometers, plus its many affiliated islands, totaling over 18 square kilometers."

"More than 2 Zerg warriors manage their territory on the island and cultivate the God-given Seeds. On average, only more than 800 God-given Seeds are born every hundred years. If you calculate it carefully, less than 9 are born every year."

"One male plant is worth five female plants, a gift from God."

"If the yew can continue to nurture its seed into a divinely bestowed seed, and if our tribe cultivates and finds another 25 divinely bestowed seeds within a hundred years, it will be equivalent to accounting for 1/10 of the entire island's divinely bestowed seed production. What more do you want?"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the insects were immediately overjoyed. Just the thought that the yew might be able to cultivate more divinely bestowed seeds made them feel somewhat at ease.

After his initial joy, Lord Zili remembered something.

"Speaking of which, there's something rather troublesome. The yew trees are currently too young; cultivating these divinely bestowed seeds from ordinary seeds would take far too long."

"If it continues to evolve at this rate, I'm even afraid it won't survive the initial stage."

King Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "This matter is not without a solution. We can give it more raw stones each time it ages to help it nurture its life seed into a divinely bestowed seed."

In addition, feed it more foods that enhance its vitality to strengthen its life force.

Also, aren't purple locust and purple artemisia able to share the Force with it?

You can do this by feeding the purple locust and purple artemisia more foods that comprehensively strengthen their physique with divinely bestowed primal energy, allowing them to grow faster.

As they age, the supply of primal force becomes easier, thus indirectly shortening the time it takes for yew trees to nurture the divinely ordained seed.

Once you get past the initial and intermediate stages and reach the advanced stage, the lifespan of Zerg warriors extends to a hundred years, making evolution much easier.

"That's all we can do now."
