MC's career as foreign lord

"So, you are the town chief?" Standing in front of the gate, Zhou Ren had no intention of entering.

However, his current position was actually inside the air wall. Without his permission, no one else could enter.

But since they were here to visit him, Zhou Ren couldn't be too neglectful. He extended the eaves above his head, turning them into a simple gazebo, and then used the remaining wooden planks to create some stone steps, along with a table (method mentioned earlier), before inviting them to sit down.

Then, he saw the town chief named Locke take out a parchment scroll from his bosom, unfold it, and hand it to him, which made Zhou Ren somewhat puzzled.

"This…" He raised his head, the bewilderment in his eyes not seeming feigned. "Town Chief, what does this mean?"

Locke smiled. "I heard that a young spellcaster had come to my town, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be a high-level professional!"

He added, "To express my apology, this is a land ownership commitment. I promise to give the mine east of the town to Your Excellency!"

Zhou Ren suddenly felt a chill. Offering courtesy for no reason is either a cover for evil intentions. Moreover, mines are not particularly ordinary resources, even a small mine.

This actually illustrated a problem: the other party knew that he had a need for the products of the mine, which was why they made such a move.

Zhou Ren's mind raced, and he said, "Then I will thank the town chief here. I wonder, what brings the town chief here today?"

A sugar-coated bullet, huh? Accept the sugar, return the bullet, standard operation.

Seeing Zhou Ren accept the item, the duo also breathed a sigh of relief. If they had only come to befriend a spellcaster who might become an assistant, then after seeing the invisible wall, the person they wanted to befriend became a great mage who might be a high-level professional.

In this Silvermoon Empire dominated by elves, even legends are only possible for spellcasters. Others would not have such an opportunity, and Zhou Ren, in their eyes, was someone with such potential.

"Such a young high-level spellcaster like Your Excellency only appeared in the Nesseril Empire!" The secretary exclaimed, which made Zhou Ren silently remember the name. Nesseril?

Locke also nodded. "Presumably, Lord Zhou Ren also knows about the recent invasion of surrounding towns by gnolls, but recently we have also discovered traces of kobolds!"

"Kobolds?" Zhou Ren looked surprised. These terms were really familiar. If he hadn't never heard of these countries, he would have thought he had come to a country called Quel'Thalas.

"Yes, kobolds. They are hyenas of the wilderness, living by chasing prey, but a large-scale appearance of kobolds only means one thing!" The town chief said, "Your Excellency should have guessed it. Draconic creatures or dragons are driving them. If we are unlucky, we may encounter a real dragon in a few years!"

"Hiss!" Zhou Ren gasped. This was really not good news. Even if his territory system was not actually afraid of dragons, if the town was destroyed, he would have nothing to buy. Wouldn't that be a pain?

The town chief added, "Unfortunately, the Empire is currently confronting the human countries and the orcish kingdoms, and cannot spare manpower to clean up the wilderness here!"

Zhou Ren silently complained. Even if they could spare manpower, who would want to come here to face a roaring dragon?

The answer was obvious, so he couldn't say anything else, and could only say, "Town Chief Locke, if a large number of monsters really invade Pine Leaf Town, you can bring them to my territory, so I can guarantee their safety!"

As soon as he said this, not only did Zhou Ren breathe a sigh of relief, but Locke and the secretary also visibly relaxed, seeming very happy.

"Then thank you again!" He said, "This contract has my name signed on it. From today onwards, Lord Zhou Ren, you are the sole owner of the Pine Leaf Town mine!"

Zhou Ren was also very happy. This way, when he went mining again, he wouldn't have to worry about ownership issues. The only thing he might need to worry about was those so-called skeletons and undead creatures.

The two were obviously very busy. After reaching an agreement with Zhou Ren, they quickly excused themselves. They came in a hurry and left in a hurry, really looking like they were worried about the country and the people.

After seeing the two off, Zhou Ren didn't stay any longer. He didn't dismantle the chairs at the door, but moved them to the side of the door as ordinary casual chairs, thinking that they might come in handy sometime.

Then he walked back. The saplings on the road were also growing very well, looking like trees that had grown for a year or two, already as tall as Zhou Ren.

The wheat in the farmland was also growing well. In less than a day, it had already entered the second stage. It seemed that it would only take two and a half days to enter the harvest stage.

Zhou Ren stopped here and planted each of the seeds he had obtained today, placing them on the other side of the wheat field. This way, it would be easier to do experimental control groups, to see what these plants were and what he could grow every day.

What the little girl said must have been wrong, because the seedlings of this wheat were different in color from the seedlings that Zhou Ren had cut. However, the ignorant little girl was not annoying, so he would just plant them and see!

As for the radish, it was actually the same. Zhou Ren knew that there were only carrots in the original version. This radish might be more like a beet? If that's the case, wouldn't he have beet soup to drink? Happy days, happy days!

Then there were the potatoes. The potatoes seemed exactly the same as the original version. He didn't know if they were as difficult to mature as the original version. If the growth rate of wheat and beets was 1, then the potatoes would only be 0.5 or less. He often harvested two crops of wheat before he could harvest one crop of carrots. If potatoes weren't so filling, who would grow that thing?

Of course, being filling was the biggest use of potatoes. After all, besides eating, potatoes had no other use.

Zhou Ren continued to walk forward, putting all the remaining seeds into the seed box, and then took out some stones and made a furnace, putting some of the ore he had obtained today into it for calcination.

The blacksmith shop's harvest was really good. Looking at the full half-box of iron ore, Zhou Ren was also very satisfied. An iron ore only cost five silver coins, don't be too cheap. If he smelted it into iron ingots and made tools to sell, it would be a hundred times the profit, quick money, quick money.

But he didn't make all of them into iron ingots. Smelting 64 should last a long time, but looking at the wooden planks being used as fuel, Zhou Ren realized the fact that he didn't have much wood left.

"While there's still time, I'll go to the river to dig some sand and then head out to chop some trees!" Zhou Ren thought, and he immediately used the remaining iron ingots to make an iron axe and an iron pickaxe, and excitedly headed towards the river.

Digging sand was a goal set long ago, and only now did he have time to realize it. Actually, it's simple. He built such a large wooden house, it's impossible to rely on torches for lighting during the day—although the torches haven't been removed yet.

So, he left one or two window openings in each room, but because there was no glass, many of the openings were just holes, leaking air and making him uncomfortable.

And to save wood, except for the bedroom, the other window openings didn't even have shutters. The wind really "whooshed" inside!

So, Zhou Ren had long planned to dig some sand. The sand can be directly burned into glass through a furnace, and the glass can be synthesized into glass panes to make windows.

It's a pity there's no dye, otherwise making some stained glass would definitely be better!" Zhou Ren thought, but his hands didn't slow down. After taking two pieces of bread to eat on the road, he rushed directly to the river.

This section of the river is actually within his territory, so he doesn't have to worry too much about any danger. Zhou Ren only realized today that this magical world is probably not safe anywhere!

But the things in the river didn't look much different to him. A large amount of mud and sand settled at the bottom of the river, leaving a little sand and clay, which are actually materials that Zhou Ren might use later.

However, digging things underwater cannot be reckless. Underwater digging has a digging penalty. Whether it's digging time or efficiency, it's actually much slower than on the ground.

Moreover, there is an inevitable risk of suffocation underwater. Compared to these things, getting wet is actually a small matter.

Of course, Zhou Ren had made full preparations. He brought a wooden door, jumped into the river, held his breath, and opened his eyes wide to find the location of the sand.

Soon his oxygen bubbles were running out. Zhou Ren quickly placed the wooden door underwater, and a special air-isolated wall was created. He immediately entered it, gasping for breath.

This air isolation device itself is very interesting. This is the characteristic of the door, turning the two blocks where it is located into air blocks. This block can also stand people, so there is this underwater digging device.

Zhou Ren started working on the sand next to him in the door. In the air block, the digging speed is the same as on land. Only after entering the water will the digging speed be reduced to a certain extent.

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba.!

He dug up all the sand around him before digging away the sand under his feet, letting the door fall off from above and float to the surface.

Zhou Ren dug up about twenty pieces of sand. Now that much sand is enough. One piece of sand can be burned into one glass block, and three glass blocks can make eight glass panes. These things can be used to decorate the house nicely.

After digging the sand, Zhou Ren stood on the river beach for a while, ate a piece of bread, and recovered some strength before continuing forward.

As mentioned before, this territory is very large. In addition to these wilderness areas, riverbanks, and saplings close to the road, there are actually a large number of hills, grasslands, and forests in the other direction. Zhou Ren is going there to chop more trees to use.

Before trees are thoroughly planted on a large scale, chopping one will always mean one less, so Zhou Ren didn't touch those scattered small trees, but went directly to the forest.

These trees are very large, each about ten meters high. They don't completely block out the sun, but they cover the light above his head tightly.

Zhou Ren swung his axe. Compared to the stone axe, the iron axe can chop a longer distance and is easier and more labor-saving, so it didn't take much time for him to accumulate almost two stacks of wood, as well as a large number of saplings and a small number of apples.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is... in the falling leaves, he picked up tea seeds!

Zhou Ren suddenly became excited, stopped chopping trees, and ran back with the tea seeds and lemons, leaving only a pile of broken leaves and tree stumps.

It wasn't until Zhou Ren brought the tea seeds back to the house that he calmed down a little.

It's no wonder he was a little excited. If the lemons that fell from the tree before only made him feel a little puzzled, then the tea seeds that suddenly fell from the tree almost put the matter on the surface.

Many mods have tea, and so do tea seeds, but there is only one mod that can drop tea seeds and lemons together from the leaves, which is the highly praised Chinese style mod [Tea Wind · Chronicles]!

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that Zhou Ren can now be sure that his MC can be modded!

This is very important. Although he still doesn't know what the conditions for loading the mod are, at least it's a thought, isn't it? This is much more exciting than just having an MC system!

This is also the reason why Zhou Ren is so excited. Besides, even if there is only the Tea Wind mod, it is actually possible to be excited, because Tea Wind itself is a particularly useful auxiliary mod.

Whether it is the various rice dishes with extremely high satiety, or the convenient straw mats for going out, or even various auxiliary tools and small objects, they are all very good life improvement utensils, and of course, there is also the most famous tea drinking system.

In the Tea Wind mod, the most excellent thing is a series of processes for planting tea, picking tea, drying tea, frying tea, fermenting, making tea, and brewing tea.

Especially the tea made has various effects, which is even more of a divine artifact!

Although Zhou Ren doesn't remember it very clearly, he is actually very clear about the effect of green tea, Cloud Body.

[Cloud Body]: Gives the player a 50% chance to nullify attacks.

With just such a short sentence, Zhou Ren has already thought of many different uses, especially in this dangerous other world, which greatly enhances his survival ability.

He put the tea seeds in the box. There is no way to plant tea now. At least he has to wait until the soil detector is made, otherwise he doesn't even know where the tea should be planted.

Putting the sand he just dug out into the furnace to burn, Zhou Ren took out the most things he bought today, clothes and thread.

Now it's time to study the bow and arrow and the fishing rod!
