Chapter 148: Nosh's storage.
The information can contain necessary knowledge beneficial to them such as the important parts of a worker ant and the amount at which their carcasses are sold in the market and so on.
"The worker ants mainly eat stone and dust. Eh… their poop is a rare treasure that the Earth Federation had been buying since the apocalypse began? Because the ants poops out refined sand that is ten to a hundred times denser than iron sand? The experts in Metallurgy have classified it as a heavenly treasure. Their fangs are used to create daggers while their stomach is used to create a medicine that can improve our immunity to viruses. The medical researchers believe that the cure for cancer might be somehow related to the worker ants…"
By using the information he purchased from the virtual network, Fatty Liam explained everything about the worker ants to his group. They found out that the real treasure in the first lair of the draconian snake isn't the magic herbs and weapons, but the worker ants.
"Damn! I've such a treasure living in my home but I didn't know. I could have traded with the humans if I knew about it," Xiao Xie cursed. The worker ants were treasures for the humans but useless to her. However, now that she thinks about it, the worker's ants would have given her a great opportunity had she not been so arrogant and treated every human she met as a meal.
"It will be a waste to kill them," Bai Yue said.
"Yeah, it's better to enslave them!" Leilani said as she looked at Marvin.
"It's impossible to enslave them. If we tell the Earth federation about them, we can earn a lot of merits. We might even be given a city to rule in the world of Camelot or Earth, itself," Fatty Liam's eyes gleamed in a calculative light as he said those words.
Fatty knew that Marvin could enslave beasts, and they will own the entire colony once he enslaves the queen. The entire colony follows the queen's commands so it was pretty easy to calculate that whoever manages to own the queen will become the sole owner of the entire colony ruled by the queen. But to reach the queen that was resting in the deepest area of the underground passageway on the opposite side, they'll have to kill through several hundreds of ants. There's a high possibility that the entire colony will be alerted and attack them before they even reach the queen.
It was a waste to kill even a single one of them, but they have to kill several hundred to subdue the queen.
That will be the greatest waste of natural resources!
"What if I tell you that there's a way to enslave them without killing a lot of them?" Marvin said as his lips thinned into a smile.
A mysterious smile that speaks volumes.
"Don't act mysterious," Leilani said, her pretty amethyst eyes looking at Marvin. He felt her perky chest pressing on his back.
"Tell us about your plan," Bai Yue said as she looked at him with puppy eyes.
Fatty Liam rubbed his chin as he thought that it'll be better to become the sole owner of the worker ants rather than hand them over to the military and the Earth Federation. The latter would be less profitable for them, after all.
"Listen Well!"
Marvin explained his plan to them. Hearing his words, the glow in the eyes of his mesmerizing wives intensified.
"Do you understand?"
"We understand. By using fire and smoke, we'll attract the entire colony here, and then sneak our way to the queen's area. Correct?" Bai Yue and Leilani nodded their heads like squirrels munching on apricots or so he believes.
Loves make one blind. For him, even the simplest actions of his wives seemed cute and pretty.
"Yes, you both are so smart!" He praised them as he patted their head and kissed their foreheads.
"Your plan is almost perfect," Fatty Liam said as he believed that there is always a chance for an error to happen.
"I know there's a fatal flaw but there's no need to worry about it. Haha, I have something called invisibility talisman. I can create a bunch of them right now. By using them, we can easily sneak near the queen without attracting unwanted attention."
"Let's do this," Xiao Xie exclaimed.
They gazed at him with a look that said why are you feeling so happy? You aren't a member of our party, just a slave!
Xiao Xie sulked as Marvin opened Noah's store. He needed to buy some items to create the invisibility talisman, after all.
"Open system's store!" Marvin internally exclaimed as he felt excited at the prospect of finally accessing it for the first time.
‹ Welcome to the store of the previous spirit lord: Night–the one who encompasses all ›
‹ Purchase ›

‹ Trade ›
These notifications popped up in front of his face the moment he gained access to Noah's store for the first time.
He read the explanation. He could purchase different and distinct items by pressing on the purchase option. He could sell his items and treasures for an appropriate amount in the shop by accessing the second option. Lastly, he could use his treasures to trade for an item with equal worth by using the third option. For now, he was bush and didn't have the time to check the second and third options. He directly accessed the first options.
A huge page containing different items and a search button on top of the page opened in front of him. He inputted the name of the items he wanted to purchase before adding them to the cart.
‹ Four vials of Elemental heart blood of a shadow beast – 500 system credit points ›
‹ Miracle wooden box – 800 system credit points ›
After swiping through the list for a few seconds, he finalized the purchase by paying the necessary amount of SC.
‹ Purchase has been made ›
