MC's career as foreign lord

In reality, podzol is a type of soil found in cold coniferous forests. Due to the poor fertility of its highly acidic soil, it appears grayish-white. In Minecraft, this type of soil can only be found in mountainous terrains or spruce forests.

Zhou Ren had initially given up hope of finding these trees, and naturally, any hope for podzol as well. Didn't you see him resorting to bug-exploiting to grow mushrooms? But then! Unexpectedly!

He specifically dug up a block of dirt to test it, and then discovered that not just nine blocks, but a full twenty-seven blocks of dirt had all turned into podzol!

The three layers of soil below were also the same, basically all turned into podzol. This meant a large-scale loss of soil fertility, so Zhou Ren had a bold guess!

He dug out all the soil except for the middle block, a full twenty-six blocks of podzol. It seemed he could directly build another mushroom farm outside the tree farm!

Then he filled it with new soil, and sprinkled about ten portions of bone meal. If he guessed correctly, this was due to nutrient loss!

After a long time, the podzol was still very obvious, but the three of them couldn't see any improvement in the Tree of Life.

"Looks like it's not working," Anna said disappointedly.

Hesia gave a forced smile. She had only come with a try-it-and-see attitude. The difficulty of planting the Tree of Life was on a completely different level than planting Spirit Fruit. "As expected, it still doesn't work!"

Zhou Ren wasn't disappointed. He could feel—actually, it wasn't feeling, but seeing the information prompt in the lower left corner: [Tree of Life] planted successfully. This meant it had been planted, just not sure when it would grow up!

"It's okay, let's wait and see! Maybe a miracle will happen?" Zhou Ren comforted the two. Since the tree wasn't showing any signs of life, he didn't want to be too definitive, so he decided to wait and see!

"Thank you for your kind words!" Although she didn't have much hope, Hesia didn't forget to thank Zhou Ren.

The three returned to the side of the house, and saw that Leah was actually fishing by the pond, waving excitedly when she saw them return.

Mossa stood calmly by the pond, without saying a word.

"Mossa, come here for a moment!" Zhou Ren said, and when Mossa walked over, he said, "This is the current First Princess of the Elven race, she has something to say to you!"

Then Zhou Ren and Anna consciously walked away. They were originally unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the Elven race, especially since it was related to Mossa.

So they all ran to fish with Leah. Saying it was fishing was actually just a bunch of little guys playing together. They held a freshly caught fish in the air, and Dag and Raichu took turns relaying it in the air.

By the time Leah finally caught the fish, it had already turned into a roasted form, and a certain gluttonous bear had taken a bite, revealing an incomplete opening.

"Ew!" The little girl exclaimed with some disgust, "Dag, you're stealing food again!"

"Goo goo?" The little bear made pigeon noises, causing a burst of laughter around them. He didn't mind, and lunged at the fish, continuing to eat.

Raichu was unhappy. It was clearly the thing it had roasted, so why was this guy eating it so vigorously?

Although it couldn't eat anything, it wasn't happy watching him eat it. Its small body immediately lit up, and it flew to Dag's head and slapped him!

Dag wasn't angry, and continued to eat his food, grunting and groaning as he finished, then stared at Raichu with a pair of eyes!

"Hmph!" It snorted, and the lightning element in the air suddenly shuddered, then fell down!

Zhou Ren was curious, "Hey? Dag has this kind of ability?"

Anna explained with a smile, "After all, he is Leah's pet, a Fey creature. Fey are the darlings of nature, and their anger means the anger of nature."

"Oh! I understand!" Zhou Ren nodded. This was a naturally lucky race. Its misfortune would make others even more unfortunate. This was a magical characteristic.

He picked up Raichu and put it on his head, letting it continue to doubt life.

On the other side, Hesia walked over with a disappointed look, as if she had been hit hard, causing Anna to sigh, "What's wrong? Were you hit hard?"

"No," Hesia forced a smile, "I just learned some inside information about the Elven race, and suddenly I can't be happy."

"Let's go!" She continued, "Leah, today's practice hasn't started yet!"

"Okay, Teacher!" Although the little girl looked reluctant, she still obediently put down her fishing rod and put the fish she had caught into the box next to her.

Zhou Ren was a little amused. This box was full of fish caught by Leah, and he had hardly caught any himself. Thinking about it, it was quite interesting.

The little girl Leah obediently put the puffer fish and other materials together, and then put the remaining fish in another box, so that it would be much easier for Zhou Ren to sort them out.

"Then we'll leave first!" As Raichu returned from her head to her shoulder, Anna led Leah away, and the little girl waved goodbye to her newly acquainted companions, and Raichu also began to jump up and down, wagging its tail.

"Mossa, see them off!" Zhou Ren said, opening the box on the side. It wasn't late yet, so he could try to study other things.

As the few people were sent away, the side of the cottage returned to tranquility. Zhou Ren saw a good thing, an enchanted book and an enchanted fishing rod that had been caught.

Fortunately, this time Leah's good luck didn't seem to be so exaggerated, at least there wasn't the previous situation of catching diamond armor or something, but an enchanted book of [Luck of the Sea III] was terrifying enough.

He suddenly thought of Dag. Could it be the luck of this bear? The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true. This bear had found so many rice seeds before, and he had only found a few?

I should borrow Dag next time I go mining! Zhou Ren complained, glanced at the fishing rod and put it back. The [Luck of the Sea] fishing rod, there's nothing to see.

As the name suggests, with this fishing rod you can get the blessing of the sea, and you can catch more good things, while reducing your chances of catching junk.

Zhou Ren didn't value the fishing rod very much, anyway, he didn't fish much, so he put it aside.

As for Fortune, this is a good thing, and together with [Silk Touch], it is known as the two magic weapons of the pickaxe. Zhou Ren was not idle, and took Silk Touch and walked into the house, ready to enchant it.

If Silk Touch is to mine everything item as it is, then Fortune is to make the impossible possible. Ores that could only produce one mineral can now produce up to four!

In fact, other ores do not need to be processed. The most important are emeralds and diamonds. The yield of these two rare ores is too low, so Fortune is used.

Theoretically speaking, these two enchantments are the best enchantments for iron pickaxes, but there is no way to give them to one iron pickaxe. The two enchantments are actually conflicting.

After all, you can't make an iron pickaxe both precisely collect and mine a little more.

So, Zhou Ren quickly made a new iron pickaxe and added Fortune III enchantment to it on the anvil. The next time he encountered diamonds, it would be the time he plucked Dag's fur clean!

Dag, standing on the glass in the camp, suddenly felt a chill. What was happening? Why was someone thinking about him?

His small face was filled with great confusion, and then his attention was drawn to the butterfly that had just flown by…

"Master, the guests have been returned to their territory," Mossa said after returning.

Zhou Ren nodded and asked, "What did you say to Shia? She doesn't look very happy."

Mossa shook his head. "I didn't say anything. The young women of the Amastacia royal family always have strange fantasies, but the task of us elders is to tear away this gentle curtain and let them see the bloody reality beneath it."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"So, she won't come looking for trouble in the future, right?" Zhou Ren said. "Two young girls, although pretending to be very mature, are indeed just young girls."

"Master, when the elders of the Elven race come, it won't be so easy to fool them!" Mossa reminded him.

"I know that, but it's not like there's no solution. Isn't it just about cost and value?" Zhou Ren smiled. "As long as the value is great enough and the cost is high enough, even if the gods want to move me, they'll have to think about whether they have teeth good enough for it!"

"Your will, Master!" Mossa stopped talking and silently walked to the side, only to have Zhou Ren hand him a pile of podzol.

"Go and collect all those mushrooms! By the way, use the podzol to build another mushroom farm in the tree farm. This doesn't need water; just plant the mushrooms directly in the podzol!" Zhou Ren said. "Remember to take care of the Tree of Life there."

"Alright!" Mossa turned and left, leaving Zhou Ren standing in place, flipping through his crafting guide, seemingly thinking about what to do next.

Raichu on his shoulder couldn't stand still. It quietly glanced at Zhou Ren, then stealthily reached for the back of his neck, found a comfortable spot, and directly lay down to rest.

For Raichu, the dense elements here were simply the best place to cultivate, and following Zhou Ren allowed it to enjoy the most outstanding elemental experience. How wonderful!

Zhou Ren smiled and stuffed it further inside until the collar of his robe covered it completely. Only then did he stop and resume flipping through the book in his hand.

The crafting guide recorded some strange crafting matters and key points, as well as some functions he couldn't remember. Since he couldn't open the crafting table in reality to see the crafting recipes, it was better to remember these things.

Of course, he wasn't just flipping through it for fun. In fact, if it hadn't been for the disturbance of the two female elves, he should already be on the top floor of the aerial farm, watching the tea garden begin to harvest.

Of course, it wasn't very late yet, at least he could take out some of the tools he would need next, such as… a tea-frying wok!

The tea-frying wok was just a cooking pot. He only needed to make another one, and since frying tea didn't require covering it, he didn't even need to make an extra lid, just a pot would do.

But before making the pot, he still needed to build three more rooms. He wasn't planning to continue building upwards here. What was the point of continuing to go upstairs when there was such a large space here?

He had planned a long time ago to build a tea-brewing pavilion, and these three rooms would be a tool and storage shed, a tea-making, tea-drying, and tea-frying shed, and a tea-drinking pavilion!

The location of the pavilion had already been chosen, next to the pond. The bamboo there had already grown quite a bit. When it grew taller, combined with the wooden pavilion, it would definitely have a classical charm.

Especially since there were some water lily pads that Leah had fished up in the chest. Placing them on the water surface and pairing them with bamboo would make the Chinese pastoral flavor even stronger!

Zhou Ren quickly took out some wood and stone. This time, he didn't use cobblestone but luxuriously burned the stone with coal and made it into stone bricks. This was an excellent material for making attic pavilions.

And the wood was naturally still oak. This kind of wood was versatile and suitable for everything. Zhou Ren directly built a frame to support it and then began to build the pavilion on that frame.

This was another very 'Minecraft' way of doing things: building the world with a fulcrum and then knocking out that fulcrum. What is rule-limited void bearing? (hands on hips)

So, this pavilion was actually suspended in the void directly above the water. Zhou Ren only used a small wooden bridge for connection, not even connected, requiring a jump to get up.

This was indeed a kind of mood, the feeling of a small bridge over a stream and a humble dwelling. When he had time later, he would make a babbling brook, build a wooden bridge, and have fish swimming among the lotus leaves and water lilies, while he sipped tea and enjoyed the breeze in the protruding part of the pavilion, occasionally playing a game of go. This scene was intoxicating just thinking about it!

But these things were all possible to realize. Zhou Ren was working hard towards this direction, and this pavilion was naturally the first step!

He had learned a little about the construction of Chinese-style buildings with flying eaves and brackets in the game. This was actually achieved by relying on the staggered coverage of the building blocks themselves, that is, the error caused by the visual system. It was not particularly difficult; his brain had learned it when watching videos.

But in the process of actual operation, his hand gave himself a head-on blow: When did you learn it? How come I don't know?

So, Zhou Ren painfully reflected and practiced hard in creative mode for a long time before finally graduating and, after falling to his death eleven times on the sky island, made the first corner of his life's first flying eaves!

But such black history did not erase his determination; instead, it became more firm and surging. Zhou Ren was determined to make this tea-drinking pavilion. As for the other two warehouses and the tea-making house, wouldn't it be nice to make two castle-style courtyards with stone bricks? A combination of East and West!

His mind was all on the pavilion. In fact, the basic construction was very simple: a stone brick floor, a wooden railing, plus a circle of stone brick seats, leaving only one direction as an exit. The base of a hexagonal pavilion was completed!

Then, six pillars were erected, just on the six corners. Anyway, they were square pillars, so there was no need to worry about them shifting. Finally, the roof was added!

And the biggest problem was on the roof!
