MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 42 Hot
After giving some instructions, Zhou Ren felt his mind clear up a lot. Mosa was a lich and didn't need to sleep all day, so he could help him handle many things.
"Is this what it feels like to have a great butler?" Zhou Ren mused, then called out to Mosa again, "Take these two books! I don't need them right now. It's always good if they can increase your combat power."
Mosa stopped and respectfully turned back to accept the enchanted books. "Your will!"
"Remember to check on that little skeleton when you get back!" Zhou Ren added. He knew from the soul connection that the little skeleton seemed very happy, but he didn't know what was making it so happy.
"Although it was a lively day, it was still a pretty good one!" Zhou Ren sighed.
He walked out of the second-floor balcony and jumped down to the fishing pond behind the house. He opened a door in a box in the back. "I remember there's something here!"
This was a simple hidden door. Zhou Ren would put things he didn't know how to use or things that were important inside. Right now, there was his magic wand, Ravenclaw's clothes (currently considered his family crest), a Dagon, a windproof lighter, a cell phone, and a small lightning bolt.
He took out the lightning mark. He had originally planned to study it himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He'd wait for Mosa to come back. It was good to have someone knowledgeable around. Zhou Ren still valued his life quite a bit.
The ranch seemed particularly quiet today. The calves were quietly munching on the grass, while the bulls were restless, waiting to mate.
"Wait a minute! I'll come when I've harvested the wheat!" Zhou Ren said. Without harvesting the wheat, he couldn't even feed the cattle and sheep. Thinking about it, it was really a bit miserable!
Cattle and sheep: Aren't we the miserable ones?
With the new scythe in hand, he had to show off a little! Zhou Ren walked into the wheat field with the scythe. Above him was a sixty-block-high building. To prevent insufficient brightness, he had placed several torch pillars around the water in the field.
"I'll replace them all with glowstone lamps sooner or later!" Zhou Ren thought fiercely, but he didn't even have obsidian now, so going to the Nether to find glowstone was just a thought.
Besides the spirit fruit, none of the vegetables in the field were ripe. Zhou Ren collected some along the way, and then began to harvest the wheat on a large scale. I have to say, the feeling of wielding a scythe was really great!
Wheat is really the best. As Zhou Ren's main food source in the early stages, it helped him get through some difficult times.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that he can now make some flour-based foods! Eggs shouldn't be hard to get, right?
After spending some time replanting the wheat, Zhou Ren walked to the side of the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were growing really fast. This time, there were another dozen or so cute pumpkins in the field.
But Zhou Ren wasn't planning on picking them today to make cute pumpkin lanterns to hang on his head. He needed to make a little bit of insurance, so the mayor wouldn't come looking for him every time something happened.
He and the great lich Mosa were not powers that could be used casually, and Zhou Ren didn't really like showing his face to fight. As Steve, who fights themselves? Those brutes don't even have any decent friends.
So he left two pumpkin heads as backups, and the other pumpkins were simply broken down into seeds. A full half stack of seeds was planted in a row in the pumpkin patch.
In a certain version, pumpkins were changed to pure pumpkin blocks, and if you wanted to make a pumpkin head, you had to find a way to cut the head out, which is just a side note. Cutting pumpkin heads is not troublesome.
Anyway, it wasn't very busy. Opening up waterways, plowing, and planting didn't take much time. Zhou Ren even had time to look at the river not far away.
However, he secretly decided that next time he would train Jim well. This energetic little skeleton shouldn't be allowed to do nothing. Zhou Ren would feel sorry for himself.
After planting the pumpkins, it was time for another harvest. In the field full of sugar cane, rows of densely packed sugar cane, like small forests, were concentrated together, except that these trees were extra fragile.
Zhou Ren struck the sugar cane, and soon put it all into his backpack. Six rows added up to a full six stacks of sugar cane, so it seemed he should be able to use it for a while!
Three stacks for making paper, three stacks in the kitchen for making sugar. Zhou Ren calculated, "Okay, after taking out 49 books, I still have 13 books to use, that's good!"
He also made a "Synthesis Guide." Mosa's book was to be given to him, anyway, it only needed wood to make, and it wasn't very complicated.
He was no longer used to the rough and thin feel of parchment, so it was easy to make a simple notebook for himself. Paper and pen were existing things, and not difficult to obtain.
With books, bookshelves were also very simple things. Zhou Ren had always wondered, were the bookshelves in MC just decorations, or did they really contain some knowledge and principles?
He hurriedly left the field and ran back to his workshop.
His bedroom was on the first floor, and there were still rooms on the first floor that could be emptied as Mosa's room. As for the second floor, except for the storage warehouse and workshop, they were still empty, just right as an enchanting room.
In the workshop, Zhou Ren synthesized sixteen bookshelves, and then placed four in the four corners, first placing three with a missing corner, and then placing one on top of the corner. This was the easiest way to enchant a table that needed bookshelves.
This was also the most economical way to use bookshelves, but with these bookshelves in place, he didn't have the resources to make an enchanting table. He had only dug up one emerald before. If he had two emeralds, it wouldn't be impossible to make an emerald enchanting table and barely make do.
Zhou Ren didn't think about these things, but looked up at the bookshelves. Now he could know his doubts from the beginning. What was the meaning of the books in these bookshelves?
The bookshelves made of three books actually contained a lot of content, most of which was related to synthesis, a small part was related to enchantment, and a very small part was related to some characteristics.
But this book was very peculiar and could not be taken away. It could only be viewed near the bookshelf. If it was taken away, it would disappear directly. Zhou Ren roughly understood and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. I have learned enchantment, but what about the enchanting table?
There was no use thinking about these things now, Zhou Ren had to walk back to his room, "Go feed the cows! I just harvested some of the wheat!"
He thought, this group of cows had good energy. They gave birth to one yesterday, and another one today, but it seemed to be another batch that hadn't given birth before. Good fellow, was it so equal? Female fists are ecstatic.
After feeding the cattle and sheep, watching a group of little guys spinning around at his feet, it was really cute. When they grow up, they should be delicious, right?
While touching them, Zhou Ren came to the roof where the tea was planted. He finally remembered what he should do today.
Water elevator! This ladder was what he always wanted to do! The fatigue of just climbing up finally awakened his sealed memories.
This was also related to his habit of playing Minecraft. Generally, if he was motivated, he wouldn't be afraid of grinding for two days straight. But once he lost interest, he would become like a walking corpse, preferring to slack off rather than think about it for a while longer.
Now that he remembered, it was time to get to work!
Zhou Ren was actually very happy to do this kind of thing. After all, there wasn't any redstone production yet, so various kinds of automation couldn't be developed. Moreover, even automated things might not be as convenient and fast as a water elevator.
But now, he still had a bit of a headache. Zhou Ren didn't want to walk down the stairs, so he thought of a solution that wasn't really a solution. He walked straight into the tea garden and slid down along the elevated stream.
The assistance from his skin allowed him to easily avoid the water flow, landing straight down without getting wet, directly to the ground, which was near the wheat field.
Zhou Ren walked very freely in the wheat field, like a watchman, looking up at the tall tea garden. He decided to build a proper water elevator next to the stairs.
The materials needed for a water elevator were very simple: some blocks as the main structure, signs as simple barriers, and water as the passage for going up and down.
It utilized the characteristics of Minecraft, that is, creatures automatically float when they encounter water. This allowed him to use the property of one block of water and one block of air, so that he could use this method to move quickly.
And the descending speed was actually not slow, just like the speed of water flowing down, but... because of the existence of air blocks, it was much faster than descending in pure water.
Of course, there was actually an even faster way to descend, but no one implemented it, and that was... high-altitude freefall!
Apart from space teleportation, the fastest method was to jump straight down. Moreover, due to the special interruptible nature of water flow, people falling from the air would not suffer any damage.
But no matter who it was, falling from a high altitude in this reality was really too exciting. Zhou Ren wasn't used to this method, mainly because he didn't want to experience high-altitude bungee jumping, and it had nothing to do with being timid.
The latest novels are first published on [Liǔ 9 Shū bā].
For the main materials of the water elevator, Zhou Ren thought about it and decided to use glass, after all, glass was transparent and convenient to watch, and it was also beautiful and generous. Otherwise, having a dark cement pillar standing there, what would it look like?
The material for the signs was ordinary wooden planks, which he didn't lack. As for water, it was even simpler. Placing an infinite water source at his feet allowed him to easily add water continuously.
So Zhou Ren thought about it and realized that the most important thing he needed to do now was to run to the river to dig sand.
"Sand!" Zhou Ren exclaimed, feeling that glass seemed to be a very commonly used building material. He hurriedly ran back to his house.
There wasn't much iron at home now, but it was still enough. However, there was a lot of copper. This kind of mineral that occasionally appeared on the surface, like coal, had become Zhou Ren's special reward for digging every day.
So what Zhou Ren was doing now was to turn all the copper that wasn't very useful into buckets, so that he could hold ten buckets of water at a time, and the efficiency immediately increased!
Then he didn't rush to leave, but took out all the iron he had saved, counted it, and there were more than two stacks, enough to make more iron blocks.
This might be an even bigger consumption than an iron anvil, and it was also the real purpose of Zhou Ren keeping two pumpkins. He needed to make some combat tools to help him do other things, and also to clear up some trouble.
"Iron golem... iron golem..." Zhou Ren muttered. The tool man he wanted to make was the iron golem!
As the cheapest and most powerful neutral creature in the Minecraft system, the iron golem had extremely thick health and life intensity, and also had a very long attack range.
Moreover, the iron golem could directly knock enemies into the sky, which was a very good natural combat force.
The crafting method of the iron golem was very simple, just arrange the iron blocks into the corresponding shape on the ground.
Nine iron ingots could make one iron block, and four iron blocks were arranged in a "T" shape. Just as Zhou Ren was about to put the pumpkin head on, he suddenly stopped.
"No, the iron golem can't get out in the house!" Zhou Ren thought, and quickly took out his pickaxe to dig away the iron blocks and walked outside the room.
Restarting the previous steps, Zhou Ren quickly began to proceed to the next step. He stood on tiptoes and gently placed the pumpkin head on top of the "T".
In the next instant, the originally fixed iron golem suddenly jumped up, looked at Zhou Ren and nodded呆呆地, and then slowly began to patrol.
"It's really interesting!" Zhou Ren made a second iron golem, watching them make "clanging" sounds, which was very interesting!
"That's right! Glass!" Zhou Ren suddenly thought, he couldn't waste time, he had to dig enough sand before sunset!
Zhou Ren, carrying ten buckets of water, several doors, and several shovels, went down to the river. He felt like he had been to the river quite often. He hadn't been there many times, but important resources seemed to be in the river!
The sand near this section of the riverbank had been almost completely eliminated by Zhou Ren's several continuous excavations. He had to continue forward, and then he found something that surprised him a little.
Continuing upstream, after passing through a relatively narrow pass, what opened up was a completely different piece of land!
Red sandy land and yellow beaches ran side by side. The scorching sun baked the place as if it were a furnace, which was completely different from the warm scene not far away.
Zhou Ren was very curious. He knew that the temperature here was different from the outside world. In the scorching weather outside, the temperature here was just right.
And when the strong winds blew outside at night, like frigid weather, it was still warm as spring here. At that time, he knew that the outside weather actually had little to do with here.
He just didn't know if there was any weather switch or something here that could regulate the weather of the territory as a whole. Zhou Ren had always wanted such a thing.
But now his focus wasn't actually on this. Although he came to dig sand, the sudden increase in temperature interested him more than the sand all over the ground.
What exactly happened here, not only was there rare red sand, but also such a high temperature? Was this related to the northerly wind that was blowing?
He continued walking along the red sand and soon came to the source of the heat!
Zhou Ren's face lit up with joy, "So that's how it is!"
