MC's career as foreign lord

Zhou Ren took out an iron pickaxe again and glanced at Anna, noticing that she really seemed out of sorts. He couldn't help but step forward and shake her.

“Big brother, don't touch Auntie! She's very grumpy when she wakes up!” Liya ran over and said, making Zhou Ren chuckle.

Speaking of which, Antitoya's current state didn't look particularly good. She just stood there blankly, staring at the newly dug-out stone without saying a word.

Zhou Ren handed Liya a piece of bread. “Wash your hands, and we'll have lunch here!”

As he spoke, he directly set up a wooden board as a table and three stone steps as chairs, starting lunch in the shade of this open space.

His backpack was really quite large, able to carry all the tools and food. The two of them sat there eating, discussing Anna's problem.

Zhou Ren guessed that she might be in a state called enlightenment? After all, in his view, magic, cultivation, and science were all similar – all explorations of the truth of this world.

If he really thought that way, maybe Anna was actually a hidden magical scientist, who might suddenly become invincible after an epiphany?

“Haha!” Zhou Ren laughed at this thought. What a script from a third-rate novel! If that were really the case, it would be too much fun. He asked Liya,

“Liya, have you ever seen Anna like this before?” The little elf girl shook her head.

“No, Teacher often does this, but Auntie Anna… it seems like it's the first time!” She held the bread and took small bites, but her gaze remained fixed on Anna.

Zhou Ren asked curiously, “Then how does your teacher get out of it?”

The little girl raised her hand. “Teacher gets hungry! Liya only needs to put a fruit near her nose, and she'll wake up!”

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hugged Little Bear Dag and walked over. Dag still had a large piece of meat in his hand, not finished eating, and looked at his little master with some bewilderment.

What kind of trouble was she going to cause this time? That was the only part Zhou Ren could understand from the little bear's ignorant eyes.

Liya held Little Bear high, letting the meat patty float in the air, then she jumped up, trying her best to swipe Little Bear across Anna's nose.

After a few tries, she walked back somewhat dejectedly. “It seems it won't work. Auntie Anna can go a long time without eating; she doesn't seem hungry at all…”

The two of them finished dinner peacefully. As Zhou Ren was clearing the table, he saw the little girl running over excitedly. “Big brother, what is this thing?”

She held Little Bear Dag high above her head, the bear holding a handful of seeds in its paws.

Zhou Ren took the seeds and identified them slightly. “Hey! They're pumpkin seeds. Liya, where did you find them?”

Liya shook her head. “Liya didn't find them; Beary did! He was playing in the grass, and when I picked him up, I saw this!”

Zhou Ren patted Dag's head. “Then Beary is really great! We'll have pumpkins to eat!”

He gathered the seeds again and continued the work he hadn't finished in the morning. “Liya, you stay here and watch your Auntie Anna, don't run around!”

Liya nodded. “Okay! I'm going to wake up Auntie Anna, so she doesn't sleep for days like Teacher!”

Zhou Ren smiled and picked up the iron pickaxe. Apart from the spot where Anna was standing, the other places could actually be moved. He dug out a large number of cobblestones and refilled them with soil.

The newly turned-up soil gradually turned green under the influence of the surrounding grass blocks, creating a lush green scene.

Of course, this wasn't the end. Zhou Ren was preparing to build a tree farm here, which wouldn't happen overnight. The walls also needed to be cleaned and leveled, and a large number of torches needed to be placed.

Again, he didn't know if monsters would spawn, whether they would spawn now or in the future. He wasn't really sure, so he needed to prepare for the worst.

The only thing worth being happy about might be that getting pumpkin seeds today meant that pumpkin lanterns would probably be available soon. That was really gratifying; at least the house wouldn't be full of torches anymore.

Just as Zhou Ren was thinking about these things, the little girl had already consciously taken the saplings and was planting them meticulously, filling the places that had previously been stones with saplings.

She had the bear on her head and said to the saplings in front of her in a milky voice, “Little saplings, you have to grow up quickly! You'll drop delicious fruits when you grow up!”

She saw the apple that the sapling dropped, so she thought the trees would drop fruit. From that perspective, it didn't seem like there was any problem?

Zhou Ren walked over and took her hand. “I need to go back for a bit. Are you going to stay here and watch your Auntie Anna, or come with me?”

“Ah?” Liya was a little surprised, widening her round green eyes. “When will Big Brother be back? Liya… Liya isn't afraid, Liya wants to guard Auntie Anna!”

Zhou Ren smiled. “Then you stay here! I'll be right back!”

Under the little girl's somewhat worried gaze, Zhou Ren disappeared on the road. He needed to go back and get some torches and tools. Besides the tree farm, there were actually places to plant fields today!

If he didn't plant the pumpkins soon, how could they mature so quickly and then be made into pumpkin lanterns?

He hurried back, thinking that he not only took the hoe, but also took some glass out. Anna had said before that she liked shiny things. He wondered if glass could help her wake up smoothly?

Walking back to the tree farm, Zhou Ren saw Liya jumping up and down beside Anna from a distance, trying to wake her up.

Although it didn't seem to have any effect, the little girl's persistence was really touching!

Zhou Ren walked up, looked at the current scene, and took out the glass.

The crystal-clear glass reflected a very dazzling light under the sunlight. The light shone on Anna's face, and visibly, her eyeballs moved.

“Ah! Moved, moved!” Liya exclaimed, but she was also moved by this scene.

Zhou Ren frowned slightly. “Since there can be a reaction, why can't she wake up?”

His gaze fell on Anna's feet, where a stone suddenly shattered. It was because of this that she was trapped in this situation. The young man suddenly had a bold guess!

He directly canceled Anna's mining permission. In the next second, the pickaxe in her hand fell directly down, landing on Liya's head, and then turned into a white light, which the little girl easily caught in her hand.

Liya looked at the pickaxe excitedly. “Ah! Liya can dig stones!”

As she spoke, she dug up all the stones in front of her. The large pickaxe was almost half the size of her body, but she still easily lifted it up and dropped it!

“Peng!” As the stone block under Anna's feet was broken into cobblestones by Liya, her own unresponsive state finally changed.

Those eyes that should have been indifferent and silent, at this moment, suddenly lit up, becoming bright and lively!

"Aunt Anna!" The elven girl cheered and threw herself into her arms, which finally brought a joyful expression back to her previously blank face. "Liya!"

Zhou Ren watched this scene with a smile, and also caught the grumpy-looking little bear, Dagge, again.

This bear was really interesting. From covering its face and struggling at the beginning, to reluctantly giving up later, its current style is hugging its chest and pouting its mouth. It's a perfect replica!

After the aunt and niece finished their hug, they walked out of the stone pit. Zhou Ren took the opportunity to fill it in, and the little girl thoughtfully placed a sapling on top. With that, the tree planting could be considered finished.

The two, working in perfect harmony, smiled at each other and even gave each other a high-five, which made Dagge, who had suddenly fallen to the ground, feel confused, his bear face looking grumpy.

Anna smiled at this scene as well. She hadn't seen these two, one big and one small, meet before. Where did they get such good chemistry?

However, as she smiled, she fell silent, noticing the two pairs of curious eyes looking over. She walked to the side and sat down on the steps.

She had been aware of what had happened earlier, but she couldn't move, and her body remained in a fixed, very stiff state!

Zhou Ren also sat down, looking at her, knowing that Anna would give them an explanation, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"When the stone broke... I discovered something. The residual power in the broken stone actually locked my whole body!" She looked at Zhou Ren, without saying a word, "Are you really just an ordinary person with slightly better luck, as you say?"

Zhou Ren didn't speak, but she seemed to be pressing him for an answer. "Or are you a Saint who was cast down from the Astral Realm!"

"Saint? What does that mean?" Zhou Ren asked, puzzled. This in turn made Anna somewhat confused. "If you're not a Saint, then why is there Divinity in your territory?"

“The newest and most complete novels are at 69shu.com”

"Divinity?" Zhou Ren was stunned. Even if he was ignorant of common sense, he should know the meaning of the word "God" in this world.

"So, I find it hard to believe that you're not pretending to be stupid, Your Excellency Zhou Ren." As soon as she said this, Liya didn't feel anything, but the little bear Dagge frowned.

Zhou Ren shook his head. "I don't quite understand what you're saying. Are you saying you've seen a God who's about to go farming?"

As he spoke, he picked up his hoe and walked towards the farmland, waving his hand casually. "You have half a day left of your permission time. If you leave the territory, the permission will be automatically revoked!"

"Auntie, Big Brother seems a little unhappy!" Liya said. "Did you make him angry?"

Anna shook her head. "It's not a matter of anger, but... if his identity is confirmed, the Prime Material Plane will be shaken!"

"Big Brother is such a good person, why would this happen?" Liya still didn't understand.

Anna suddenly realized, "That's right, even if a God of the Good Alignment came down, so what? The ones to worry about should be those Evil Gods!"

She suddenly thought of the Abyssal Demonic Fish. Looking at it this way, no matter what the outcome is, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Zhou Ren.

Anna smiled self-deprecatingly. Based on her performance just now, if Zhou Ren were really a Saint, he probably would have killed her directly, and even the elves wouldn't be able to find a reason for revenge.

Moreover, looking at Zhou Ren's ignorant appearance, he didn't seem to know much about Gods, Saints, or anything like that, or rather, he didn't know anything at all, and was just passively receiving information.

This action couldn't help but make her think of the creator of the elves, who was an Outer God to this world—the Elven God System's God-King, the creator above all elves (except for the Drow), the Elven Chief God Corellon!

He also came to this world in a certain era, then quickly understood everything, and at the same time, supported the God Kingdom, shaped the race, and achieved Great Divine Power!

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, so she directly grabbed Liya's hand, "Liya, let's go see your Big Brother!"

"Huh? Auntie's not angry anymore?" Liya said curiously.

Anna nodded, "I've figured it out. If he's benevolent, what does it matter if he's a God?"

The two walked hand in hand in front, Liya said with some doubt, "Huh? Where did Bear Bear run off to again?"

Behind them, Dagge looked desperate, moved his short legs, and got up somewhat resignedly. With such a master, it seemed that his life had no hope.

Zhou Ren was currently clearing new ground to plant pumpkins. Pumpkins are different from other plants. They not only need water, but also a separate piece of land to bear fruit.

Perhaps the only advantage is that after the pumpkin seedlings mature, they don't need to be replanted, but instead, new pumpkins will grow on the vines, and so on.

So Zhou Ren took two buckets and expanded the originally four-square well to nine squares.

Then he reopened two canals, with a gap of four squares between the canals, planted pumpkins on the edge of the canals, and then the fruits of the seedlings would just grow in the middle of the two.

It's just that there weren't enough pumpkin seeds. He only planted six before he ran out, so he had to wait for the previously planted pumpkins to grow.

The experimental seeds on the other side had also matured. As expected, they were beets. The red radish roots were very similar to radishes, but they were indeed not radishes, and the potatoes were the same, already turning into three big potatoes.

Now he could start full-scale planting. Zhou Ren took out the seeds from the box by the field and covered a 9*9 field with seeds. As long as he waited three days, these seeds would turn into a large number of beets and potatoes!

The last problem to be solved was the seed that looked exactly like wheat seeds. Zhou Ren thought it was just a color change, so he planted one to take a look, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

In the distance, Anna and Liya, who had walked over, had already arrived near. Her golden hair was dazzling, and the expression on her face had returned to normal. "Zhou, we can sit down and talk properly..."

Then Liya ran away, she walked to the strange wheat, picked the fruit on it, "Guoguo! It's Guoguo! Bear Bear! We have Guoguo to eat again!"

She glanced around and found that there was no sign of the bear, so she had to hand the fruit to Anna, "Auntie, Big Brother grew Guoguo!"

"Elven Fruit? How is that possible?" Anna looked surprised.

At this time, Dagge was still on his way to the exit of the tree farm.
