MC's career as foreign lord

"Great!" Anna said, pulling Shea along and quickly agreeing. "Lia said the food here is delicious!"

Zhou Ren said with a smile, "You can go find Lia and fish for a while. I'm going to harvest the rice."

After planting for some time, the rice had finally matured. Zhou Ren decided to make a fragrant bowl of rice today!

Thinking about it, it's only been a little over a week since I came to this world, and I'm already eating rice. Does that count as the glory of a transmigrator?

But rice isn't that simple. First, it's still in the field, and Zhou Ren needs to harvest it.

However, harvesting rice requires a simple tool, which Zhou Ren needs to make in the workshop. And it's not just that.

The three of them followed the path to the outside of the house, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen by the pond. Zhou Ren couldn't help but be puzzled.

Huh? Lia isn't a child who runs around randomly, is she? Where is she?

Just then, Shea's voice rang out, "Lia! What are you doing up there!"

The remaining two turned their heads at the same time and saw the little girl hanging on the steps dozens of meters high, waving happily!

Zhou Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was up there, nothing was likely to happen. He had sealed off all the areas himself. He turned and went into the house.

"You can go find her. There's still some time before lunch!"

The two female elves had already set off. They quickly walked up the steps. It was far from the door, but actually only a few steps from the farmland.

Zhou Ren could see the two female elves' actions from the window and wasn't worried about them having any problems. Instead, he took out some iron and wood from the box.

He was now preparing for the rice. First, he needed to make a sickle. It was impossible to pick so many rice grains one by one. Instead, he would use the sickle to cut down entire patches.

Making a sickle wasn't difficult either. Three iron ingots and two wooden sticks would do, arranged in the shape of a sickle on the workbench.

Then there was the wooden mortar. This tool required a wooden bowl, a wooden stick, and a wooden board, which would create a large mortar that could be used to grind rice.

Grinding rice means turning the rice grains that fall from the rice plant into uncooked rice, which is simply removing the husk so that the next step can be performed.

After Zhou Ren made these two tools, he ran to the rice field by the river to harvest.

There was really nothing to say about it. One square of rice can produce four to six rice grains, and a sickle can harvest rice from nine squares of land at a time. Soon, all 81 squares of rice had been turned into dry fields without water.

And Zhou Ren only needed to stand by and absorb.

He harvested nearly seven stacks of rice grains and then planted them in the ordinary fields in the distance. This was the prerequisite for planting rice seedlings: raising seedlings.

After thinking about it, it would be more convenient to open up a piece of land dedicated to planting rice seedlings by the river. The effect would be that the rice could be self-produced and self-sold, without having to run back and forth between the farm and the river.

Now Zhou Ren had about five and a half stacks of rice in his hand, as well as a stack of straw. This was a derivative of rice, which could be used to make fire or to weave some simple tools.

Straw can only be made into straw rope now, and straw rope can be used to weave straw mats and straw mats, which are basically equivalent to chairs and beds, but can be used anywhere, making them suitable for travel, tourism, or camping.

Zhou Ren returned to the house with a full harvest and looked up again. Anna and Shea seemed to have discovered some good scenery up there and hadn't come down yet.

He wasn't in a hurry. Occasionally, he could hear Lia's laughter, which meant that the three girls, two big and one small, were having a great time up there, and he couldn't spare the time to take care of them, so it was good to just watch.

The next process would use the wooden mortar. The process of turning rice grains into uncooked rice was to constantly grind the rice with the wooden mortar, then shake off the husks and directly harvest the uncooked rice.

But there wasn't a simple method either. Zhou Ren directly put the wooden mortar and rice grains into the workbench, and what came out was naturally rice.

This would be labor-saving and efficient, but the result was that the wooden mortar was consumed very quickly. He could only take more wood and make two more before turning all the rice grains into uncooked rice.

Now he had more than five stacks of uncooked rice in his hand. Of course, the process of cooking rice hadn't started yet. You can't cook rice without washing it first, can you?

Zhou Ren threw all the rice into the water (that is, the flowing water in the kitchen), and then the pot!

That's right, it's the pot he used to make the mixed stew before. Now it can be used to do something serious!

After finding the pot, the lid that Lia had once worn on her head was naturally easy to find. Zhou Ren re-scooped the rice back. Now this rice had become washed rice.

Then it was time to cook the rice. Zhou Ren went outside to fetch a bucket of infinite water. "Next time, I'll build an infinite water source in the kitchen!" Zhou Ren said. It wasn't very convenient to go outside to get it, even though it wasn't actually a few steps away.

Just as he was scooping the rice, the door was opened by a reckless bear. Dag stood in front of the door with a very proud look.

Then there was Lia. She carefully opened the door and quietly glanced behind her before breathing a sigh of relief. "Phew! Teacher didn't follow!"

"You seem to not want me to come!" As soon as she finished speaking, a beautiful figure with brown hair walked over from the outside, along with the boisterous Anna.

"Zhou Ren, Zhou Ren, the magic concentration is higher on your building!"

Zhou Ren said with a smile, "I can't feel it. Is this a good thing for you?"

Anna nodded sharply, "The concentration is much higher than on Dragon Island. I can put a dragon nest here!"

Dragon nest? Zhou Ren looked puzzled, and then Anna instantly changed the subject. "Of course, not now. I'll wait until I'm tired of living in my own house before I say anything. I'll rent a house from you!"

Zhou Ren nodded, "Okay, but you have to pay!"

With money, everything is easy to say. Without money... then wait until you earn money!

"Build a house? I want one too!" Lia clapped her hands and pulled Anna. "Auntie, I want to build a house too!"

Anna smiled, "Of course, we'll build a house together!"

The three of them curiously observed the house, which was purely composed of blocks and had some support forms that they couldn't understand at all.

Such a large house had no wooden beams or central support, only simple side walls, but there was no sign of collapse.

But thinking about the aerial pavilion without any support, such a house seemed quite normal?

The elf princess Shea's perspective was different from the other two. What Zhou Ren had just shown was a special combat ability that was almost completely different from usual.

Such a monster, even if handed over to the Silver Moon Empire, would probably only be dealt with by large-scale bombing or attrition. If that didn't work, they would have to seal it on the spot, or simply drive it into the Underdark.

But what did Zhou Ren do? He, a person with almost no special combat ability, relied on some special abilities of his own to forcefully eliminate the monster.

In a sense, Zhou Ren's combat power is equivalent to a special character with legendary combat power. He may not be very useful usually, but he is exceptionally useful at critical moments.

Moreover, Zhou Ren has the Elf Fruit, a fruit that can change fate, coupled with the terrifying magic power whose magic element concentration even exceeds the World Tree. How can he be considered useless at ordinary times?

Furthermore, judging from Zhou Ren's various attitudes, he obviously has many special things that he hasn't shown yet. This man is truly a mystery!

Shia still observes Zhou Ren with a cold and scrutinizing attitude, while Anna is much more active. She is helping Zhou Ren with Leah!

Zhou Ren thought for a while, flipped through the crafting book, and made a small iron knife for Anna, asking her to cut the fruit and bread a little, so that it would look better on the table.

The iron knife is also a tool in the newly added module. It can be obtained with a wooden stick and an iron ingot, and can only be crafted on the built-in crafting grid. Crafting it on a wooden workbench will turn it into an iron short sword, which is quite unique.

Now he doesn't need to use a sword or axe to cut things. The iron knife is a good tool.

Next, let Anna take Leah aside to cut things, including grilled meat and grilled fish, while Zhou Ren focuses on making rice.

First, put the washed rice into the pot. One pot can cook sixteen portions of washed rice. The pot doesn't look big, but it can surprisingly hold a lot!

After the rice is in, add water. Zhou Ren poured the bucket of water in, directly covered the pot, took out the flint and steel to make a fire, and with a "boom", a raging flame ignited directly, illuminating everything around in red.

Such a scene made the three people around look sideways. Anna said, "Oh! Zhou Ren, are you... cooking?"

The latest and fastest novel is at 69shuba.com!

The other two nodded separately. In their opinion, Zhou Ren was not cooking at all, he was clearly blowing up the house!

However, the aroma of rice wafting from the pot made people remember the taste at once, forget their troubles, and just want to experience such a fragrance!

"Ah!" Zhou Ren exclaimed, "This is the taste of home!"

He really missed it, and the fragrance of the MC system is pure and rich, sweet and fragrant, and seems to have an indescribable feeling, which is a — tea fragrance!

This is Tea Style · Chronicle, this is the taste of tea!

Anna was even more shocked when she looked at Shia. She was touched by this strange taste, and even her body had changed, gradually transforming towards a more magical direction!

"Legendary rhythm! This is the aura of a legend!" Anna immediately left Shia, and took Zhou Ren away with her. "Your taste is so fragrant, and it is attached with some special rhythm. Shia is on the road to becoming a legend! Don't disturb her!"

Zhou Ren took the cooked rice out of the pot, and took another portion of rice to cook, and asked, "What is a legendary aura?"

Anna explained, "Legend is the highest level that mortals in this world can reach, which is equivalent to the demigods and saints of the gods. Except for divinity, they are actually not much worse than gods."

"But it is very difficult for ordinary mortals to become legends, unless you are particularly powerful and achieve legend, or you complete the destiny of legend!"

Zhou Ren was curious, "Then what will her destiny be?"

"Various, roughly speaking, it is something that is beneficial to the entire world, such as judging the sinners of the world, rescuing the gods who plan the laws of the world, etc. The task given to you by the world, anything is possible!" Anna said.

The two stared at Shia together, what kind of task would she get? Destiny is a test, and it may be a reward. It seems that everything is planned by the world!

Shia opened her eyes in an environment that seemed like a storm. After she opened her eyes, she blinked slightly, and then said playfully, "My destiny is... planting trees — one hundred trees, and limited to adulthood!"

"Hiss! One hundred trees to become adults, so simple!" Anna looked envious, "I wish I had a destiny like yours!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are a dragon, your destiny is to live to old age and automatically become a legend!" Shia said, but her face seemed to gradually darken.

"I am still thousands of years away from becoming a legend! Thousands of years!" Anna said dissatisfied, "How long will I have to sleep!"

Shia's face changed drastically, and her original good mood disappeared all of a sudden, "Those one hundred trees must be Ancient Trees of Life!"

"Ah? Do all the Ancient Trees of Life in your Elven race add up to a thousand trees?" Anna said.

Shia smiled reluctantly, "Probably not? Let me think about it, I'll talk about it when I think of it! How about eating first now?"

Zhou Ren nodded, "Let's eat first! Heaven and earth and the world will never give some impossible tasks, right?"

Anna shook her head, "No one can say for sure. Some people's task is to assassinate a Duke of Hell in the Ninefold Hell. That person didn't even find the gate to the Ninefold Hell until he died!"

"This..." Zhou Ren suddenly felt that he couldn't comfort people, so he quickly brought out the rice, changed the subject, and asked, "Does anyone not eat meat?"

"Leah eats!" The little elf girl, who had been eating vegetarian food for many days, raised her hand sharply, "Leah wants to eat meat today!"

"Shia doesn't eat, we all can!" Anna said. Now that the Elf Princess obviously looked unenthusiastic, Zhou Ren didn't ask carefully.

Put the rice ball, bowl and meat into the workbench, and what comes out is meat cutlet rice. If you replace the meat cutlet with potatoes, it will be potato rice.

And Dag the little bear has already eaten a fish, and is struggling hard with the second fish.

Zhou Ren brought up the beetroot soup and mushroom stew, and finally the rich and mellow rice!

"Wow!" This was Leah's voice. She smelled the fragrance in the rice with some surprise, and seemed to feel a little excitement!

"It smells so good!" This was Anna. She pushed the potato rice to Shia, and took a bite first. Sure enough, her mouth was full of fragrance, and there was nothing but fragrance and the blooming of magic between her lips and teeth!

"I know why this is happening!" Anna said, "Shia herself has enough foundation, and is only short of the accumulation of magic power to become a legend, and you here..."

"I found out!" Anna said, she looked at Zhou Ren, "It's not the problem of the Elf Fruit, it's the problem of the food here! The food here has a high level of magic power, and it can be absorbed by the elves, but the effect of the Elf Fruit is greater!"

Zhou Ren was stunned. How did you only know now? Only say it now?

Then he realized that Anna didn't seem to have eaten here before. Last time she came here, she paused for most of the day, and ate everything that Leah and the bear ate, so she only reacted now.

Then it's okay!

"It's good as long as it's delicious!" Zhou Ren said happily, "Your Highness Shia, don't be discouraged, let's eat first! After we finish eating, maybe we will think of a solution, won't we?"

Shia shook her head, "It's not this, I am the Elven Royal Daughter, the future Elven Queen, I have many ways to reach legend, I'm just thinking..."

She looked at Zhou Ren, "Do you really have a way to plant Ancient Trees of Life?"
