"You said that they're not birds, but insects?!" Bruce who's on the sideline asks in astonishment.
"Wait, you mean, they are in the line of those gross Soybean Spiders and Tamarind Beatles?" Lacelid shouts and slams the log. "They're beautiful! They can't be insects!"
Bruse knitted gritted his teeth and hold Lacelid's collar, "Hey, Lacelid! Our Soybean Spider is beautiful! Much better than that bloody bird of yours!"
"Oh, you guys should stop, my Anthena's better!"
"Eh, Mr. Draconic, who's this Anthena?" Lacelid stare at him and slapped Bruse hands, "Well, let's just forget it, I need to know more information about this 'Peanut Butterflies', what makes you say that this creature who could fly up in the forest of Dragon Blood is an insect."
Lucas look at him and throw out a bag of peanut contains fifty seeds, "Those are the seeds of Peanut Butterfly, you should take a smooth approach towards it, don't let the brown colored skin covering the pea get damage."
The group started to discuss on what type of soil, weather and how long does it takes to grow them, the result if it is planted in a normal sandy soil, and when you use mana grains to make the progress faster. He also told them that each pod could make 1-5 peas which will make it easier to spread across the world.
Time passes by and their trade with the butterfly is done, Bruse raised his hands and drop two kinds of bags, "Since your transaction is done, it's time for ours.
" Here's the violet colored bag that contains blackcurrant nether panther and this one with peach color contain seeds of Lychee Crocs. Blackcurrant isn't rare, but the Lychee Crocs are. They are famous for its sweet meat and its red leather skin which is the reason they are known as an extinct species of reptile, but my that's not the truth. My family has the last pair of them and we are secretly breeding them."
Lucas pinched his chin and hesitated, if its already extinct in the worlds view, why does he have to use it for a trade? "I have already ten blackcurrant nether panthers sleeping inside my dome, but what do you want to. change to pull something important such as lychee crocs?"
Bruse smiled and took out a piece of pepper, "This pepper of yours are different, as Salva said, this kind of pepper have been lost a long time ago. And it is because of a certain species that are gone extinct. We want seeds and information about them."
Yeah, that must be it, I underestimated them. Looks like I'm not the only person who has discovered this way of drying pepper. "Okay, I was pleased with the Lychee Crocs, but I want you to stay quiet on where you get them, or else, you won't live any longer."
"Haha, you're very confident, we might not able to fight head-on, but we run!" Said Salva pointing behind.
Ruru also laugh like there is no tomorrow, "Man, you're so funny, let's just make a trade!"
Lucas smiled mysteriously on their reply, he pointed towards the location of their mount and laugh, "Look, there is my Athena, do you really think, that you still have a chance to escape from my clutches?"
The group looks towards where he pointing, the scene makes them kneel on the ground! What the hell! Thousand of black dots surrounding their pet mounts, the Soybean Spiders has their feet locked down, while the Blood Orange Eagle is full of black dots, mobilizing him and prevented him to take flight.
"Those are my army of Black Ant Pepper, Aren't they cool?" Lucas laughs sarcastically and leads them inside the dome.
Bruce group is having an indescribable emotion, how could this be? Those are Black Ant Peppers? How could he provide a whole colony enough mana while he was raising different types of planteros!?
That's not all, they don't even know what will welcome them inside the dome when they discovered a group of round things rooted at the ground near the entrance. They surrounded a gigantic ball of cocoon-like husk as if they are guarding their king.
"Don't touch them, " Neil warned Ruru who tried to slip away, "If you want to touch those things prepare to die."
"Heh? W-why? What are they?" Ask the confuse Ruru, (What the hell is with this thing?)
Neil smiles and replied with his utmost respect, "Those are coconut cannons, sir gourmet hunter. They were the first planteros he raised sir."
"....." he remained silent due to his respect towards him, (..The hell, where did find this crazy thing? I must let the higher up know about this.)
Ruru followed Neil and enter the dome just to find out that his companions were not moving, "H-hey what's going on?"
He followed their line of sight but to find himself astonished, walls of peanut butterflies!? What a bizarre scene! But what freaks them out is the bunch of red freaks hovering in the air and their freaking leader with a dragon appearance!
"T-This! The third type of chili! W-wait, look at that mound!"
"What is that?! It's as huge as those in our greenhouse in the lower section!"
"Sh*t behind us!"
"Ten of giant ginger cats, and what the hell, those are the mana freaks! Those are Blackcurrant Nether Panther!"
Lucas look at how they are shocked on his dome, he crossed his arms and knitted his brows, or pretending that he's irritated with them, "Oi, Oi! You guys are noisy, your disturbing my pets!"
They gulped their saliva and followed behind him, they went straight to the opposite end where the Chili Dragons were playing,
"Chivous, come here," Lucas commands softly and the dragon-like creature circled around his body.
*Xiiii! Xiiiii!
"You must know these guys since they just get extinct years ago. This is Chivous, he just entered the second pace yesterday." Lucas said, he approached the chili plant and checked if there's any chili that is about to evolve. Luckily there are three of them that just gained consciousness, he took out a towel and picked them up of the ground, he makes sure that they're healthy and hand them over to Bruse, "Here, they just evolve, take care of them. There is a bizarre scene yesterday when my Chivous advanced in the second pace, but I don't know if they will also happen to this younglings when they pick their leader."
Bruse received them with his both hands, holding them as if they are his babies. They are like a newborn puppy with a bat like wings on their back.
"Hey, they're cute too, let's have a trade when you manage to breed them, okay?" Said Lacelid who's eyes is glued on their cute wings.
Lucas also nodded with him and give a warning to them, "You have to make sure that they'll be out of sight of an outsider, I have my own plans, don't spoil it." (Sh*t it's good that I can still fool them!)
They nodded in agreement, who will disobey him when their pet mounts are pinned down and they are surrounded by bizarre creatures?
The transaction is complete with a blink of an eye, Lucas let go their pet mounts and show them off. Neil and the rest heaved a sighed of relief while Buckler and his group did not notice any kind of event.
Luckily, there are no 'visitors' that afternoon and they managed to end their everyday routine. Lucas has his planteros and pots well feed well watered.
He's browsing through the book Neil gave him when a notification rang on his head.
[Ding! Main Mission Second Pace Complete!]
"Heh? That means that the wall is finally done!" he checks out the wall around his dome and marvel at the beauty of the wall. He approached the celebrating group of workers and join in. "Haha, congrats! You finally managed to build the greatest wall in this city!"
"Wahaha! Of course, but you know what? We still want to extend because the lunch in this place is comparable to that high-class Inn!"
"Haha, Grandpa Buckler, if that is what you want then I will grant them!"
Suddenly the celebrating works become quiet and look at the both of them.
Buckler suddenly have a headache and started to scold Lucas, his temper is not good which make him a hot-headed person. "Brat, what are you saying!? Do you even know that we only sleep 3 hours a day this past five days!?"
"Well, I was even planning to hire you to build eight mini domes that surround the wall of aegis."
"What wall of aegis!?" Buckler's ears suddenly poked with an irritating name and want to knock the person on his front, "They're going to be called as The Wall of Despair! Not aegis, it sounds so old!"
"Haha, well, will accept my offer and help me build eight branches of domes with the same thickness of this Gigadome?"
"Haist!" Buckler tried to hold his anger and hesitated for a minute, he looks at the young man in front of him and nodded, "I will accept your condition but we also have our own rule."
Lucas satisfied with his answer, no matter what rule it is, a personal worker has a great advantage to him, "Well tell me, Grandpa, as long as acceptable I'll accept it."
"We want a day off every after our projects. We also have our family." He replied seriously, looking at his eyes without blinking.
"That's it!" He exclaimed and clapped his hands, "Since we already have an agreement, I will meet you three to five days from now!"
"Well, it's a deal!" Then both of them reach their hands to seal their agreement like real business partners.
The group ride on their truck and celebrated like there is no tomorrow, who would disagree with a contracted work? They are not going to be a slave, it was a give and take scenario.
Lucas proceeds on his routine of taking care of his plants until 6 PM. He sat near Coco and check his mission status.

"Hmm, well then, let's bye the shovel and look for a seed in the store!"

Inside a dark room, a young man and two beautiful ladies intertwined on top of their bed, their love scent spread across the room when someone knocks on the door.
"Young master Rezmon!" ???
Rezmon throws the vase on his table, feeling irritated, "What is it? If It's not important, I will make sure you'll be punished!"
"Young master, it is indeed important! The dome where Lucas live surrounded with a thick glass wall, the wall is much thicker and higher than the city wall! The troops you ask us to prepare was not enough to step inside the wall!" ???
"What? That's impossible!"
"But young master, we need more than what we prepare!" ???
"Tsk! Contact Elmico! Tell him that there's a great competitor appear outside the city territory! Don't tell him who is it, go and make sure you won't fail to convince him, also tell him that his dome is surrounded with thick walls!"
"Yes, Young master!" ???
(Hmp! Who do you think you are? It's just a wall! I'll make sure you'll pay for everything you take from me!)
