MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 15 Why are the elves here?
"Eh? Why do you ask?" Antinoya turned her head. The glass she had lightly touched had suddenly grown larger, completely turning into a glass cube.
"It's like this; once the glass is placed, it will completely set," Zhou Ren explained. "If you want to install it in your new house, I can help you!"
"Ah..." Antinoya said with a face of regret, "Too bad, can't I hold it in my hand and play with it like you do?"
Zhou Ren shook his head. "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This is my exclusive ability, and it seems there's no way to transfer it yet."
"This—glass, right? Can it still be taken down? The shards are also very pretty!" Antinoya said regretfully, seemingly very eager for such shiny things.
Zhou Ren shook his head. "You can't destroy anything here, and if I destroy it... these glasses will disappear!"
He wasn't talking nonsense, of course. In MC, the unique characteristic of glass is that it will shatter and disappear if touched without a tool enchanted with Silk Touch.
Right now, Zhou Ren doesn't even have a Silk Touch enchantment book. He doesn't even have paper, let alone diamonds, obsidian, and an enchanting table. Oh right, enchanting seems to require lapis lazuli!
"Then... can I try to break it?" Antinoya asked, her eyes full of eagerness.
Zhou Ren spread his hands. "If you want to, you can!"
He also wanted to see what abilities this elf lady possessed, daring to live alone in this wilderness.
He also wanted to see what the so-called 'professionals' that ordinary people feared like vipers were actually like!
If their power was especially strong, what kind of power would it be? What exactly was this so-called magic like?
Don't think he was just interested; Antinoya also really wanted to try it out. Her worldview had almost been reshaped here. If she didn't vent, she might get sick.
Then Zhou Ren took a few steps back. He watched as the elf girl seemed to muster her courage and opened her mouth!
"(Dragon Language) Shatter!"
The simple words seemed to possess terrifying power. After the words were spoken, Zhou Ren felt something gathering in the sky, then condensing on the glass.
"Is this the power of magic?" Zhou Ren exclaimed. This was the first time he had seen someone cast magic. It turned out that seemingly ordinary magic had such great power?
Of course, no matter how grand the momentum, it didn't actually bring any substantial damage to the glass, but instead made it even more beautiful.
"It seems like it's not working!" Zhou Ren said with a smile. "Want to try again?"
Antinoya shook her head. She knew exactly how much power she had just used. Since she couldn't break it even with that, then it was really impossible to break!
"Then... help me install some in my new house!" she said. "Since we're neighbors, don't be so distant. Call me Anna!"
Zhou Ren nodded. "Alright, then you can call me by my name directly! Or use your custom and just call me Zhou!"
"Hehe, it seems these glasses will have to stay here for a few more days!" Anna said with a smile. "Thank you for the hospitality, Zhou. I'll definitely invite you over once my house is built!"
Zhou Ren waved his hand and shattered the glass directly. The originally indestructible object was easily broken in his hands.
However, he didn't care about this small matter, but smiled and collected the remaining glass, then prepared to send Anna out.
Although it didn't seem like much had happened, time flew by, and most of the day had already passed. Even the opposite house already had a basic shape.
Anna seemed to have anticipated this situation. She easily summoned a team of mercenaries to guard her things, then boarded a carriage to the town.
Zhou Ren didn't find it surprising. She didn't look like an ordinary elf at all, but obviously a high-ranking noble elf, or else she wouldn't say some strange languages and use some bizarre magic that packed quite a punch.
Although her motives weren't pure, she was still sensible, and their communication was quite pleasant. Zhou Ren didn't take this matter to heart.
Anyway, as long as his territory existed, he was almost invincible, and he wasn't afraid of her playing any tricks. "Friends come with fine wine, enemies come with shotguns!" That's all!
Turning back, he then covered his head in annoyance. Well, none of the plans written on the wall had been touched. He fished for dozens of fish in the morning and built the house for most of the afternoon. It was almost evening again, what should he do!
Zhou Ren turned around dejectedly, then did the most important thing.
First, he harvested all the wheat in the field, so he had mature wheat and more wheat seeds, a full stack and more (in MC, a stack = 64, except for snowballs, eggs, etc.).
Then he planted all of these stacks of wheat seeds next to the experimental field. It seemed like a lot, but in reality, three wheat could only make one bread. Counting like this, a stack of wheat could only make 21 breads.
Therefore, the expansion of the wheat field was almost inevitable. Zhou Ren planted all the seeds. Now the maturity time of the wheat could be estimated, about two days later, which was not too slow.
Then there were those special crops. Anyway, Zhou Ren couldn't recognize them, he only knew that they weren't ripe yet. They should be ripe tomorrow, keep waiting!
Finally, taking advantage of the last glimmer of light on the horizon, Zhou Ren walked back to the opposite side of the road, and in the somewhat astonished eyes of a group of mercenaries, raised the small axe in his hand.
They were indeed very surprised, especially when Zhou Ren chopped down all the tree trunks, letting the leaves fall from the air. This surprise even reached a limit.
This was too illogical. If those arcane masters who studied the truth of the world were present, they would probably run over and grab Zhou Ren for research, right?
There were really a lot of trees by the road. By the time Zhou Ren held the torch and chopped down all the trees and planted saplings, the moon had already climbed up into the sky.
"Hey? Why is this moon always full?" Zhou Ren muttered, then he saw the originally full moon suddenly lose a quarter, turning into a mooncake with a bite taken out of it.
"No..." Zhou Ren was stunned. "There's even this kind of change? Then can you fill it back up?"
Suddenly, the moon lost another quarter, logically speaking, it should be fine now, right? No, it lost the quarter that was diagonally opposite before! Now two quarter moons were hanging in the sky.
"Good heavens!" Zhou Ren complained, "You're playing quite a trick, aren't you!"
He stopped paying attention to the moon. After the moon in the sky became a quarter of a semicircle, it also lost its momentum. Zhou Ren suddenly thought of the color-changing sun. It seemed that this magical world really didn't have much to do with the starry sky!
So, where does their world operate? Zhou Ren felt that he could ask his new neighbor about this question tomorrow. As for now... he should obediently go eat. His satiety level had dropped to the danger zone!
The so-called satiety danger zone is actually when his hunger value reaches one bar. Once the hunger value is completely depleted, he will uncontrollably start losing health.
This kind of health loss has no limit. Zhou Ren would probably reach the end of his life within half an hour—provided he doesn't eat.
Of course, that's impossible. When his satiety was about to reach the bottom, he was already sitting comfortably at the dining table, picking up a pufferfish.
Of course, he wasn't there to eat pufferfish, but to eat the grilled fish in another bowl.
"I will make rice sooner or later!" Zhou Ren said resentfully. He would go cut grass tomorrow, get more rice, and plant it first. As for the best planting area... he'd wait until he mined!
He couldn't stand eating bread, grilled meat, and grilled fish every day. He needed to add some variety to his diet, right?
He also thought of the little elf girl. He should go again in a couple of days. Anyway, he had money. Buying more seeds might unlock new modules, right?
Zhou Ren grabbed the pufferfish again. Ah, the abyssal demon fish! Tomorrow, he would feed it something. He wondered if this poisonous creature from the underground could eat pufferfish? He would test it first!
He ate dinner hastily and wrote down new tasks on his plan: plant rice, plant new plants, raise fish (feed pufferfish), and mine.
The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
He hoped tomorrow would be another wonderful day! —
As usual, Zhou Ren got out of bed on time. While brushing his teeth, he looked towards the entrance of his territory. He didn't know when the workers from the female elf's territory had started working. They had already put up the fence posts and were continuing to erect the wood.
"It really has a foreign style!" Zhou Ren gave it a thumbs up. The style of these things was very different from his house, but with the interweaving of green and cyan, it really had a different kind of beauty.
However, he was a little puzzled. Henry had already come at this time yesterday, so why hadn't he seen his shadow yet?
Judging from his eyesight, the other party didn't seem like someone who would be untrustworthy and run away with his money!
Zhou Ren felt that something was wrong. After brushing his teeth and washing his face hastily, he took a steel sword and walked to the door, causing the mercenaries who had been replaced to stand guard to suddenly become alert, stand up straight, and even raise their weapons.
He then felt that his actions were wrong, and in the next moment, he changed the sword into a wooden stick. Unexpectedly, they became even more vigilant. One mercenary even started running towards the town.
"Ah, this..." Zhou Ren had no choice but to change to empty hands, which finally made the other party breathe a sigh of relief. He also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the direction of the town, where a somewhat hunched figure seemed to be already on the road.
The hunch seemed to be because he was carrying a huge package on his back, which made his thin body sway slightly, and it seemed—because there was indeed another figure beside him, whose tall figure in the sunlight told of her elven identity.
Zhou Ren wasn't in a hurry now and sat on the chair by the door, waiting slowly.
At this time, he increasingly wanted to plant tea leaves. If he had a pot of tea in his hand, drinking it while watching the scenery, wouldn't it be—wonderful?
Of course, these were just thoughts now. Although Zhou Ren wasn't without a stupid method: synthesizing leaves into crushed tea leaves, and then synthesizing crushed tea leaves into tea leaves, so that he could brew and stir-fry tea.
However, the resources required for this were too exaggerated. Even if he had a stable source of iron ingots, he couldn't consume it like this.
Nine leaves synthesize one crushed tea leaf, nine crushed tea leaves synthesize one tea leaf, seven tea leaves synthesize one tea bag, brewing a pot of tea requires four tea bags...
"Hiss..." Just thinking about it made Zhou Ren gasp. 9 * 9 * 7 * 4... a full 2268 leaves were needed to brew a pot of tea. If he really did this, he wouldn't be able to do anything else these two days, just brewing tea!
Just as he was thinking divergently, the two people in the distance had already approached. It was indeed Henry. He was carrying a bag that looked very large, and he could hear the sound of stones colliding inside.
After seeing Zhou Ren, he quickly put the bag down. "Sir, I have tried my best to exchange the money you gave me for flint and feathers, but the money you gave me was too much, and I didn't exchange it all..."
For a moment, he was even a little uneasy and handed the bag of gold coins to Zhou Ren. "This is the remaining money. Would you like to count it?"
Zhou Ren naturally didn't need to count it. He knew how much money there was. Looking at Henry's panting appearance, he took a gold coin from it and handed it to him. "Thank you for your hard work!"
Henry's eyes lit up when he saw a gold coin. He only felt that the soreness in his body suddenly disappeared and wanted to do something more!
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do what you want!" He expressed his loyalty loudly, attracting the sidelong glances of several mercenaries.
Zhou Ren waved his hand, turned all the large bag of things into streamers, and put them into his backpack. Then he pointed to the little elf girl with a watery face, "Then what's going on with her?"
Henry looked helpless. "Sir, she was determined to follow me out of town, and I couldn't help it!"
The little girl said dissatisfied, "There isn't... Riya... Riya is just hungry! Xiongxiong is too good at eating, and ate everything in two days!"
As she said that, she touched her head, and a fluffy little bear emerged from her somewhat fluffy hair.
Zhou Ren smiled, squatted down, and touched the little girl's head. "Riya, right? Aren't you afraid that your teacher will come looking for you if you come out like this? And what about your stall?"
The little girl held the little bear in her hands and said with a smile, "No, the teacher will definitely know where I am... As for those seeds, anyway, those bad people can't get in, they can't get them!"
"Then why do you think I'm not a bad person?" Zhou Ren said again.
Then he saw the little girl take out a green crystal ball, and a very warm and heartwarming green light appeared on it.
Riya said: "Big brother, your camp is neutral and kind! Don't pretend to be a bad person in front of Riya, Riya can see it!"
