MC's career as foreign lord

Now that Jim is still evolving, Zhou Ren and Mossa naturally have to work together here.

Following the old rules, we'll continue to expand next to the ranch. There's really nothing to say about rabbits and pigs; both eat carrots. Zhou Ren spawned so many carrots last night mainly for these two gluttons.

Still a very simple style. Zhou Ren continued to extend outwards along the wooden fence of the cattle and sheep pen, the same size is enough. The ranch built before hasn't even filled half of the open space!

However, the first batch of spawned calves and lambs have already grown up, completely indistinguishable from the surrounding cattle and sheep, bleating and mooing as they graze on the lawn.

The wooden fences are very strange, as if there's an invisible barrier that prevents jumping over them; you have to open the gate to enter. Zhou Ren continued to build the fences, while Mossa went to the temporary ranch to guide the pigs over.

"Mossa, just hold this carrot!" Zhou Ren threw the carrot out, Mossa steadily caught it, and quickly walked towards the temporary camp near the entrance.

Zhou Ren then continued to arrange things here. The two ranches were quickly completely separated, and two fences with torches were also set up.

Actually, this is a little life hack. Fences with torches are easy to identify, so you won't run around looking for the gate, and the flames will drive away animals, preventing them from getting close (just pretend what I'm saying is true).

While Zhou Ren was continuing to repair the fence, Mossa finally brought a group of piglets here. They looked delicious, cough, no, very lively, jumping around him.

"Mossa, put the carrot away!" Zhou Ren said. The next moment, he took out a carrot himself. The pigs, originally surrounding Mossa, immediately turned red-eyed and began to gather around him.

These pigs were much smarter, not like the cattle and sheep who needed help. They lined up one by one to enter the pigsty, then came to Zhou Ren and surrounded him, grunting.

"Eat, eat!" Zhou Ren didn't consider himself a demon. He fed each pig once, and then watched them give birth to piglets. A green light flashed, and the piglets gradually grew up.

When Zhou Ren walked out of the pigsty, he saw Mossa with a puzzled look. "Master, is it my imagination? Why do I feel like a part of my memory has been deleted, but what was deleted?"

Zhou Ren shook his head with a smile and explained, "The process of the pigs giving birth to piglets was deleted!"

Since he wasn't the only one experiencing this, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Go bring the rabbits over too!"

"Okay!" Mossa nodded and left, wearing a very high-end suit, but walking at a brisk pace, looking powerful.

Zhou Ren continued to build the rabbit ranch. Rabbit breeding is unremarkable; after all, they are a group of little things that hop around every day. Their only advantage might be the production of rabbit feet, a kind of alchemy material.

But it's too early to talk about that now. No matter what, rabbits are a powerful source of meat. After all, bunnies are so cute, whether they're pan-fried, grilled, or spicy, they're delicious, aren't they?

From afar, he saw a large group of rabbits following behind Mossa. Unlike the way ordinary animals move, rabbits don't walk, they simply hop. They can jump a long distance to keep up with the food in front of them.

But they can't jump very high, so there's no need to worry about the rabbits jumping out of the fence. However, rabbits are too small; if they are baby rabbits, they might crawl out from the gaps in the fence.

Zhou Ren thought of a solution. He surrounded the fence with trapdoors, so the gaps were completely blocked, and there was no need to worry about small animals sneaking out.

Zhou Ren entrusted the task of feeding to Mossa. As his butler, he naturally had to become familiar with this kind of work. He and Jim would be a great help to him for a long time, and Zhou Ren himself knew this, so he consciously cultivated their abilities.

It seemed that both Jim and Mossa were doing well. While Mossa was feeding the rabbits, Zhou Ren began to stare blankly at an open space…

After all, the pigs and rabbits had been raised, and what was left was chickens… But chickens couldn't be free-ranged in the ranch, because chickens were the only creatures that produced something: eggs.

If they were free-ranged, the eggs would be everywhere, and it would be troublesome and annoying to collect them every time. So, the easiest method was, of course, to build an automatic chicken farm!

Automatic chicken farm, or rather, semi-automatic. There weren't many chickens now, and there wasn't any redstone, so Zhou Ren made the simplest semi-automatic chicken farm, which only required a few buckets of water and a slightly larger area.

First, dig out an area of about 7 * 7, then surround the area with soil, then dig open the soil in the center, lower it by one block, put a hopper on it, and then put a box under the hopper. The simple collection device is ready.

Besides the collection device, his work wasn't over yet. To prevent the chickens from flying out—although they don't fly high, they do fly—he made a row of wooden fences on top of the one-block-high soil wall, and then opened a door.

Finally, put four buckets of water in the corners of the four squares, so the water won't form an infinite source, but will converge towards the middle, just enough to push the eggs laid by the chickens in.

This is the wonderful use of water flow. The hopper below can just handle this task. If you want chicken, it's also very simple. After killing two, the chicken will flow into the box below in the same way.

After Zhou Ren made this simple device, Mossa had already walked over with a large bag of chickens. His body seemed unexpectedly strong. He brought all the chickens over without much effort and, at Zhou Ren's signal, threw them into the water.

Zhou Ren dug a simple path leading to the underground. Next time, collecting eggs would be easy, just go down below. As for feeding the chickens, wheat seeds would do. These cyan seeds were the chickens' favorite food.

"Phew! All done!" Zhou Ren said, "Isn't Jim done yet?"

Mossa shook his head. "Master, Jim's advancement requires a lot of time. Even with such abundant magic power, it should still take two days."

Zhou Ren nodded. "I see, it takes so long? Then let's not disturb him for now and do something meaningful!"

The two followed his footsteps to the open space in front of the woods. Zhou Ren saw that Jim had chopped down some of the trees and a box that was already mostly full, and nodded.

It should be explained that most of the trees planted here are actually oak trees, but due to the growth rate, a tree can provide much more wood than in the game. After all, it's unreasonable for such a tall tree to only drop five pieces of wood.

Therefore, the amount of wood obtained from a hundred trees is quite considerable, close to the amount in a box.

However, according to Henry, Jim stopped after his meditation, so only about a quarter of the trees were cut down, but there were still more than ten bundles of wood, which is a significant amount.

He took out his lightning mark. The area was open and shielded by mountains, preventing outside views from getting in, making it perfect for some experiments.

"Mossa, take a look at this!" Zhou Ren said, the lightning mark in his hand seeming to be activated, slowly absorbing and releasing the surrounding magic, flickering as if it were alive.

"This is..." Mossa said in surprise, "An elemental mark? You've gained the recognition of an element?"

"Seems like it?" Zhou Ren said somewhat uncertainly, "Anyway, that lightning element just gave it to me!"

"It means your elemental affinity is very high, and what you did pleased the lightning element!" Mossa explained, "Think about what you did?"

"Uh... does giving it an apple count?" Zhou Ren said.

Mossa nodded, "Of course it counts. The magical elements in your territory are extremely dense, comparable to the center of the elemental plane, and the magic in the fruit is similar to the Fountain of Life and the World Tree, so it's no wonder..."

He said, "Elements are sincere and straightforward. It sees you as a feeder!"

"It really is like raising a pet!" Zhou Ren laughed, "I wonder if I can summon it? Or will there be any risks?"

Mossa shook his head, "Summoning elemental lifeforms usually requires paying a price, but the elemental mark has the inner world pay the price for you!"

Zhou Ren smiled, "Isn't that great?" As he said that, he pressed the mark in his hand, and between the flashing lightning and flowing runes, there seemed to be countless magnificent colors!

This was not an illusion, but a real summoning. The void seemed to be torn open, and Zhou Ren and Mossa watched as a uniquely shaped lightning element jumped in.

It really is a sieve-like world crystal wall! Zhou Ren had something to complain about, but Mossa seemed to have predicted his prediction.

"This is the superiority of the inner plane over the main world. In fact, apart from the Astral Plane, the outer planes don't have any particularly good ways to enter the main world!"

Zhou Ren thought of a bug, "Then can't we enter the inner world from the outer world, and then come over from the inner world?"

"The inner world is completely wrapped by the main world, and there is no way to bypass it," Mossa continued to explain, "Anyone other than gods who enters the main world needs to pay a huge price."

"Don't gods need to?" Zhou Ren asked curiously, but the answer was affirmative, "Of course gods need to, but the price they pay to descend is too great! So great that no one will come."

"Are you talking about the Saint's Calamity?" Zhou Ren understood, "Abandoning the godhood and being reduced to a Saint also means the possibility of death."

While they were chatting, the lightning element that had descended was staring at the two of them without moving, its cute face full of confusion and grievance.

It was clearly like this the last time it came, so why is it still like this this time? What did it do wrong?

"Ah! Forgot about you!" Zhou Ren said quickly, releasing its restraints, and then saw the lightning element staring at him with a pair of cute, big eyes, as if trying to figure something out!

"Yours!" Zhou Ren quickly took out an apple from his backpack and threw it to the lightning element, which happily caught it and then leaned in, rubbing against Zhou Ren's face.

This feeling was very strange, like a slightly electric wet towel, a moist and numb feeling that made one a little dizzy.

However, the lightning element didn't rub against him for long before running aside to play by itself, throwing the apple into its body, making it seem even brighter!

Zhou Ren was a little lost, if it had rubbed a little longer, maybe it would have sparked (not really), the elemental mark in his hand was still there, still flickering.

"This means that your summoning didn't consume its friendship, and you can still summon it next time," Mossa explained.

Zhou Ren looked at the lightning element floating around in the sky, a little worried. It was too active, and if it jumped into the pasture, it would be a disaster!

"How do I send it away?" Zhou Ren asked. The lightning element came to him again, mischievously touching Zhou Ren's clothes. Such a big guy was like an uneducated child.

Mossa said, "Lightning elements are immortal, they will perceive your kindness and malice, and then consciously take action!"

"So I can ask them to leave, and then I can summon them to come, is that what you mean?" Zhou Ren gradually understood, and threw him a mango, "Do you like the aura of these magical elements? Then why not stay here for a while longer!"

As he said that, the lightning element suddenly became well-behaved, shrinking into a very small miniature element, just floating obediently on Zhou Ren's shoulder.

"You don't want to go back, you want to stay by my side?" Zhou Ren was stunned, understanding the other party's meaning, and then smiled and said, "Okay!"

Who wouldn't want such a small pet?

"Master, one thing you need to pay attention to is," Mossa said, "Lightning elements need to maintain a full supply of magic or elemental power, and will draw it from their summoner. Once they don't have it... they will backfire!"

Zhou Ren nodded, "Don't need to provide it here, right?"

"The magic here is abundant, in theory, magical creatures can survive here!" Mossa said, "With the elemental mark, you can feel some of the thoughts of elemental creatures."

Zhou Ren naturally knew, he teased the little thing on his shoulder, "Since you want to live here for a long time, then let's give you a name?"

"Huh? Sure!" Zhou Ren felt the meaning of the lightning element, "Then what kind of name should I give you?"

"Lightning element, mark of lightning, let's call you Leiqiu!" Zhou Ren said, "I hope you can be as cute as Leiqiu, and be able to stand on your tail and fly!"

Lightning element—now Leiqiu, seemed very excited that he had a name in the main world, happily jumping around on Zhou Ren's head, the electric current fluttering around, making his hair stand on end!
