MC's career as foreign lord

Pumpkins! Yes! Zhou Ren thought of the pumpkins he had thrown to the back of his mind, and also remembered the sugarcane he had just finished planting.

However, it was still too early for the sugarcane. He didn't have any materials on hand, so there was no need to rush. On the other hand, the pumpkins were almost ripe and ready to be made into pumpkin pies and jack-o'-lanterns.

He quickly put the cow down, fed it once around, and then took two buckets of milk away. Milk was incredibly useful and could be used everywhere.

The pumpkins in the pumpkin patch were all ripe. Zhou Ren simply collected them all with an axe. These pumpkins really looked like blocky people's heads!

Zhou Ren thought for a moment and replaced the two torches at the entrance of the territory with jack-o'-lanterns. Suddenly, the entrance felt warmer!

He just didn't know why, but after changing the lights, the mercenaries who were originally walking close to the wall suddenly scattered, looking very scared.

He walked back to the house and redecorated it. After removing the torches and replacing them with pumpkins, it did look much better, and the brightness was just as good.

The new food just now reminded Zhou Ren that this new mod 【MC is too simple】 had more ways to synthesize tools and food, and he could study it carefully.

For example, the simplest thing was the classification of milk and the use of water. Using bowls to drink water and milk had always existed, but it was not recognized by the MC system.

But in this mod, a bowl of water and a bowl of milk are actually recognized as actual mod items in essence, which means that a bowl of milk still inherits the effect of milk, which is detoxification.

Zhou Ren suddenly felt it was worth it. After all, although milk is easy to produce, it is too strange to drink a bucket of milk. Now it looks much more normal.

Sometimes, mods are actually a magical boost to MC itself, filling in some logical inconsistencies, adding some things, and then making things much more convenient.

In addition to this bowl of milk, there are also a variety of foods, such as pumpkin soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken soup, and even ice cream and various fruits.

Fruits come from the dropping of various leaves. Zhou Ren just collected a few oranges and bananas, and the recipe has increased a lot again!

But sometimes he also wondered how these mods were loaded? He didn't feel anything!

Of course, such doubts were only fleeting. Zhou Ren quickly stopped wondering, made a few more strange soups and put them in the box, and then prepared for the next task.

There are also many tools in this mod that can be prepared, such as the pickaxe, and the scythe.

As we all know, the scythe of the Tea Wind mod cannot harvest wheat, but this new scythe can, and the metal required is only half of the big scythe, which is very convenient.

Next time, wheat can be harvested directly with the scythe. In this case, it is not impossible to open two more fields. After all, the scythe can harvest nine fields at a time, highlighting convenience and speed.

But at this time, the problem of minerals must be considered. It is not a good thing to always buy iron, is it? He needs a more reasonable and more effective means of harvesting ore.

Recently, the secretary has not been free to help him collect minerals, so he can only find a way by himself.

What's more, he needs more things, such as diamonds, gold, redstone, lapis lazuli, and now he needs to add the new mod's Adamant alloy and Mithril, which cannot be traded in the town.

That's right, he finally considered going down the mine! After almost all the preparations were completed, Zhou Ren finally stretched his claws to the underground. There was really nothing new on the ground.

Most of the planting work is proceeding slowly, but Zhou Ren's hands can't help it anymore, he needs to find a mine to see!

And here, Zhou Ren's mining passage is actually only one, the mine passage next to the fishing pond.

He briefly made a mine entrance here for a period of time. Although it was not officially excavated for various reasons, Zhou Ren also made some decorations. He put two torches at the door and then slowly started operating.

For the convenience of mining, of course, you can't do the kind of direct macho mining method - that is, digging straight down until you reach the ore layer before starting horizontal excavation.

The advantage of doing this is that the probability of obtaining precious minerals is very high, but the acquisition of general minerals is not enough, which is suitable for random excavation rather than opening up a mine.

The best way to mine for this kind of home is actually the layered herringbone mining method, which is the simplest way to carry out layered excavation in batches. Under such circumstances, the underground veins can be utilized to the greatest extent.

But the disadvantage of doing this is that the time spent is huge. You must know that mining is not farming. Every stone needs to be dug out by Zhou Ren himself, and he also needs to control the space, place torches, and also achieve reasonable allocation.

So he also needs to make a bed underground, a workbench, and enough tools, food, and materials. This is a huge project, so huge that he can't even complete it in a short time.

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Zhou Ren also knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed. Digging stones is the most important thing, so that he can at least slightly improve the sky farm.

First of all, of course, is to make a simple three-grid high entrance. Zhou Ren made this entrance four grids wide, and then dug all the way in, lowering one grid every two grids, and lowering one grid every two grids, making a simple descending staircase.

This is naturally much gentler than the kind of staircase that keeps going down. Zhou Ren also paved cobblestone steps behind it, which makes it look particularly reasonable.

The height of each layer is only half a grid, plus the three-grid layer height, which makes it look particularly comfortable.

Zhou Ren didn't plan to mine all the time, but planned to at least make a staircase to the bottom today. He also wanted to see, I wonder if the underground in this world is the bedrock layer?

If so, what kind of bedrock layer is it? What impact will it have on this world?

If not, then what kind of scenery will there be underground? What do these sceneries represent?

Zhou Ren wanted to know very much. He heard that in this world called the Prime Material Plane, there is not only the existence of the Celestial Realm, but also the relationship between the underground world. Of course, they don't call it the underground world, but call it - the Underdark.

This is a vast and huge area that is no less than the Prime Material Plane. In this area, there are many terrifying creatures and more dark creatures. This is the source of darkness, evil, and chaos!

However, Zhou Ren had never heard stories about the Underdark. He didn't know if it was because the time was too long ago, or if it was too far away from this city. That kind of thing was more like a legend passed down from ancient times, without any special practical value.

So, his attention was now more focused on the passage in front of him. It must be said that there were really a lot of minerals underground. Not just a lot, but a great deal.

How to tell the difference? In the original game, even with huge amounts of coal and iron, some unlucky players would dig through a string of stones before finding a little bit of coal.

But today was completely different. These minerals seemed to have been named, popping out in front of him one by one, disturbing his progress in digging stairs.

This is truly a perfect start! Zhou Ren exclaimed. He had only dug twenty blocks of stairs, and there were already about six groups of concentrated ore and seven or eight groups of scattered ore. Although it was still in the shallow surface, there were coal mines, iron mines, and some silver mines.

White silver metal ore was exposed in front of him, and Zhou Ren directly dug it down with a pickaxe. At this time, he noticed that the silver had also turned into raw silver under the action of mysterious power.

"Huh? Silver mine?" Zhou Ren was stunned. He suddenly remembered that compared to gold mines, silver mines were more widespread and common, which meant that the production of silver would be greatly increased.

After all, in the setting, the rarity of silver is less than iron and greater than copper, which means...

"The output of silver mines may be terrifying, and luck will increase the output of silver mines!" Zhou Ren directly concluded. This was not a casual joke, but a huge chain reaction!

Unlike other metals, gold, silver, and copper coins directly control commodity prices. Zhou Ren had heard of the church collecting metals and then making gold and silver coins.

This matter is actually very complicated. The gold and silver coins he uses now mostly come from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, which has the divine power of the church and the seal of the church.

The Goddess of Wealth is also a recognized deity of transaction certification. She is a deity of absolute neutrality, possessing the power of justice believed by many camps, and also mastering the right to make transactions and money circulate in this world.

And each church probably would not be willing to use the money of other gods, so Zhou Ren knew about the pine coins of the elves, which is a currency from the Supreme Forest, and now it is almost lost, so the elves will use it as a general equivalent.

Zhou Ren felt that he might also use currency in the future. It is better to keep the economic lifeline in his hands. As for how to make it a credible currency? Piles of metal and a large number of coins from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth are the best choices!

This is actually the monetary policy of many modern countries, using gold as a general equivalent, and then storing a large amount of US dollars as foreign exchange for trade between countries, so that they can issue their own currency.

The reason why Zhou Ren has this idea is actually because he spends most of his time thinking about his future. It is impossible for him to stay here alone all the time. His territory should also be expanded!

He needs to have a base in this world (basically determined to be here), and then continue to develop through this base. Not to mention being invincible in the world, at least he must gain a firm foothold in this main material plane.

"Haha! Aren't these too far away?" Zhou Ren smiled and stopped thinking about these things, but the work at hand did not stop.

He didn't continue to dig stone steps, but simply decorated the mine, hanging up a few pumpkin lanterns for lighting and decoration.

He could feel that his building soul was slowly burning. If it weren't for the lack of resources in many cases, and the situation did not allow it, Zhou Ren would have already started building wonders in his territory!

Why not build a redstone powered roller coaster? Or a redstone carousel? Ah, mechanical power YYDS!

Zhou Ren put aside his ideas, and then worked hard to build some agricultural buildings and planned some development directions, but this does not mean that he really forgot about this matter, but just suppressed it in his heart.

But no matter how much ore is mined, it is impossible to have more than ordinary stones, and he also mined some andesite, granite, diorite, and other stones, which are all excellent building materials!

However, Zhou Ren finally restrained his spirit. The minerals in front of him were his current direction. He didn't continue digging now, just to dig out all the monsters exposed in the mine.

The most superficial, of course, is everyone's friend, and the most, of course, is the ore most needed in the early stage: coal.

As the raw material for torches, and also the burning material for most substances, the popularity and applicability of coal are full, but this thing gives people a strange feeling.

It is obviously everywhere, obviously a lot is mined every time, even so much that you don't want to mine it, but... why is it gone every time you need to use coal?

It is recommended to list the disappearance of coal and iron, and where diamonds are as one of the three unsolved mysteries of MC...

Ahem, let's get down to business. Coal is the most and the most troublesome. After digging the pit after mining coal, Zhou Ren spent a lot of effort to pad himself up, and it was not easy to replenish the wall smoothly, but seeing the wall of minerals, Zhou Ren was a little desperate.

But what can you do if you are desperate? He put down the workbench at the entrance of the mine, made a large box with the remaining materials on his body, and stuffed all the stones he had just dug into it.

Suddenly, his backpack was much emptier, and he could dig out all the remaining minerals.

Zhou Ren counted a little bit. Starting from the coal mine, copper mines, silver mines, iron mines, and some gold mines were all revealed here. The quantity was not very large, but compared with other mining maps, it was not small. Roughly, they were all in a group. In a sense, this was already a terrifying amount.

And I don't know if it was because of the lucky attribute or something, Zhou Ren even sometimes mined two raw copper from one copper mine, which is double the ore production!

Thinking about it, Zhou Ren directly set up an upgraded blast furnace in the original place, using twice the speed to accelerate the firing of metal.

Just when he was completely relaxed, and even studying the characteristics of the blast furnace, an accident came!

"Dong dong dong!" A very loud knock sounded, which made Zhou Ren, who was originally relaxed, suddenly tense up. Why is there a knock in this underground?
