MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 76: He Gave Too Much (Bonus Chapter 12)

“I don’t know whether to say you humans are brave or just fearless!” Baro said speechlessly, “I’m a demon who was planning to eat you!”

“But you can’t beat me now!” Zhou Ren said indifferently, “Your projection is in my hands now. If you don’t want to be completely burned by me, you have to obediently answer my questions!”

“Moreover, I can force you to sign a contract and then have the gods behind me drag you out of the abyss and destroy you completely. Do you want to try?”

“Hiss!” Baro gasped. “You are the real demon. Why hasn’t your alignment shifted towards evil and chaos? You are perfect for the abyss. Come into our embrace. I feel the abyss lords would give you a very powerful position!”

“I have no interest in those sulfur-filled places!” Zhou Ren said. “Don’t tell me that some worlds in the abyss are also very beautiful. I don’t want to go. If I’m interested, I’ll go see for myself, but right now…”

He ignited the flames again, “Are you sure you don’t want to hear what I have to say? Maybe it will be a little helpful to you!”

“Listen! As long as you turn off the fire, I’ll listen to anything!” Baro quickly chickened out. For chaotic and evil demons, there’s actually nothing that makes them feel like they need to save face, so bowing down to a human is not a big deal.

The flames extinguished again, and Zhou Ren revealed his plan, “What level of the abyss are you from?”

“Don’t worry about what level of demon I am, tell me what you want to do? Don’t force me to burn to death, I can just explode!” Baro said.

What he was talking about was actually the final method of the Balor Flame Demon, which is self-destruction. They produce a very dazzling flash explosion when they die.

This explosion can cause damage to a large area, which is also their last resort to threaten enemies.

“Oh, so powerful!” Zhou Ren retorted, “What if I put you in a furnace, and when you’re about to explode, I take you in and throw you into the river?”

“Sigh! Forget it…” He seemed to resign himself to his fate and lowered his head, “I am a demon from the 570th layer of the abyss, belonging to the succubus queen, Meccan Shute!”

“Succubus Queen?” Zhou Ren said with great interest, but he didn’t explore this question too much, and quickly moved on to the next aspect of understanding.

“Will the disappearance of you demons attract the attention of the succubus queen?”

“Attention? We are demons. Demons are constantly disappearing and growing. Everyone is constantly killing. Except for the demon lords, even their generals are likely to be replaced at any time!”

Baro said, “If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have devoured that guy alive and turned him into a delicious meal for my continued upgrade!”

“Then would you like to make a deal with me?” Zhou Ren said, the light in his eyes so bright that one couldn’t even tell whether he was the demon or the other was.

“Tell me about it!” Baro didn’t easily fall for it. As a strange and evil demon, he didn’t really trust anyone’s words.

The nature of demons is constant evil and chaos. They are ultimately evil and ultimately chaotic, but they are also ultimately bold and dare to cooperate with anyone, as long as they completely eliminate their enemies.

“I need some demons to enter the furnace and become my fuel, that way your pressure may be reduced a lot!” Zhou Ren said, “If they put their attention on me…”

“Their main bodies in hell will temporarily lose control, so I can directly defeat them and devour their flesh!” Baro said directly, “The 570th floor is not a good choice!”

He even started thinking about countermeasures for his enemies, “No, in fact, it should be said that the 570th floor is not a choice at all! The succubus queen will not allow the people under her to disappear on a large scale… Ah, I have a way!”

As he spoke, the look in his eyes suddenly diminished, and then returned to its original appearance, “You damned human, if I come out, I will eat you!”

“Oh! So you can automatically control it even after losing consciousness!” Zhou Ren exclaimed, but his exclamation didn’t last long before other attention was drawn away.

“Cooperation begins!” he said.

When the bamboo lantern was made earlier, he remembered that in fact, after version 1.14, there is also a lantern in the original version that can be used, which is not only more cost-effective than the bamboo lantern, but also seems to be brighter.

The only advantage of bamboo lanterns is that they have a higher grade. After all, bamboo lanterns look brighter and more simple.

But for lighting in mines or other areas, ordinary lanterns should be enough.

Zhou Ren quickly obtained a lot of pig iron from the mine. Baro’s automatically controlled curses continued, but in his ears, it had become a peculiar joke.

Even demons can automatically control projections. The wonderful places in this world seem to be more special than he imagined!

The elf clan has an elf handbook that can be shaken, the goblin clan has an imprint that can be put on people, or a cursed buff, plus these demons can control clones or projections, and also have the means to automatically control them.

He seems to have thought of many ways to use them, just waiting for the tools to be ready and then start operating.

Some modern tools or mechanical paths that have never been conceived may not be able to be realized in this world, but the way to achieve this may require him to do some design himself.

For now… it’s better to make the lanterns first.

Zhou Ren has always been a person who is very clear about what he is doing. The most important thing he needs to do now is to prepare the lanterns and then continue mining.

Whether it is an enchantment table, hell tools, or some other redstone choices, they all cannot escape the help of ore.

If he needs to use redstone to make various redstone tools, or use redstone to make large redstone farms, he also needs a lot of redstone.

This infinite energy, and red powder that does not require too much operational ability, is a real good thing.

Powerful people can use redstone to automate everything. He once saw someone use redstone to build a computer in the MC world, even if that computer was a bit scary.

This actually also means that Redstone circuits have unparalleled feasibility in the real world, which is far more important than anything else. The reason Zhou Ren didn't plan to use Redstone before was because this substance with infinite possibilities was too rare in this world.

But now that he thinks about it, his previous worries were indeed a bit like refusing to eat for fear of choking, just like his eternally burning flames and the infinite water he's been using.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to strengthen himself so that his own strength can support the occurrence of this event. Moreover, it's not like he's completely unprepared.

Zhou Ren first went to the workbench and broke down an iron ingot into iron nuggets. He originally thought he only needed to break down gold, silver, and copper, but he didn't expect that he also needed to break down iron.

However, 8 iron nuggets and a torch are needed to make a lantern, which is unavoidable.

Now, he basically avoids using torches wherever possible, because the aesthetics of torches are indeed different from other things.

Pumpkin lanterns, bamboo lanterns, plus the lanterns here now, which one isn't prettier than a torch?

This was just a simple interlude. Zhou Ren floated up along the water flow to the location where he had just made the Nether portal.

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

The terrain here is relatively high, so he can barely see Jim, who has already finished digging the soil in the distance and is curiously circling around a Tree of Life.

"Jim?" Zhou Ren walked over to take a closer look and found that the little skeleton seemed to be doing something very special.

He put his hand on the Tree of Life, and the other hand on the ground. There seemed to be a radiance flowing slowly on both hands, and between the flowing radiance, some special substances could be seen gradually synthesizing.

"Hmm…" Zhou Ren didn't understand, but he guessed that this might be a substance synthesized from the skeleton's own body, like bone meal.

Because he could clearly see that this Tree of Life seemed to be gradually growing and blooming between the flowing radiance.

This is the power to guide the Tree of Life to bloom, which can even be said to be the power of God!

Zhou Ren couldn't figure out whether this was a special ability given to the little skeleton by himself, or whether he himself had this power?

If this kind of power could really be brought out casually, then the elves' eyes might be very interesting!

Zhou Ren didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly laughed, not continuing to pay attention to the little skeleton's behavior.

Anyway, he can run around on his own besides doing some work, and Zhou Ren doesn't control him very strictly.

This skeleton still has a very strong childlike innocence, even during activities, he still runs around, but he doesn't slack off when doing things.

Zhou Ren scratched his head. Skeletons don't slack off, which seems to be a very normal thing?

He stopped paying attention to this. With the help of the Tree of Life, the surrounding plants were indeed growing very vigorously. All kinds of flowers and plants had grown up, which would allow Mosa to come over and collect a wave. His mysterious stew still needs these materials.

Zhou Ren walked back to his sky farm. In the boxes here, Jim had neatly sorted the dug-out soil and stones into categories.

This little skeleton has a very strong obsessive-compulsive disorder, but this is also a good thing. He will always involuntarily sort out the things in the box.

Zhou Ren thought about these things, took out a few stacks of soil, and re-boarded the sky farm. He wanted to completely finish the next few layers that hadn't been filled, and then go mine his minerals.

In this way, the sky farm would be completely completed. There are still a few layers left that need to be completely filled before they can be processed. This project is not complicated, after all, Mosa's speed is very fast.

When he put all the soil on the last two layers, and surrounded them with a circle of stones, and enclosed all the wooden railings—to prevent people from falling—the sky farm was successfully completed.

Zhou Ren took a look at the crops. Some crops had already matured, while some crops had not yet matured. At this time, he was no longer short of food and various crops, so he decided to re-harvest all the plants after they had all matured.

"Now then…" Zhou Ren took out his iron pickaxe, "We need a lot of iron and some Redstone to make future tools!"

He didn't plan to touch the underground mine warehouse. In addition to the excavated stones and minerals being placed inside, if Balo really could find some companions from the abyss, he wouldn't mind turning that area into a so-called abyss furnace smelting plant.

"Hmm… I don't know how that demon is doing now?" Zhou Ren thought, the situation in the abyss should be different from what he thought.

"That damned human is really particularly evil. Why would he think of using us demons for smelting? Isn't he afraid of stepping into evil?" Balo roared impotently, but eventually lowered his head somewhat颓废.

"Damn it! His idea makes my heart flutter!" Balo sat in his seat and muttered to himself. Of course, he wouldn't be so proactive in finding people. Everything he had just done was just for that human to see.

But this human's proposal is indeed very attractive. Whether it is the weird space confinement power, or the disappearance of another demon that he feels in the dark, all let him know that he is not the opponent of this hateful human.

But it's so unwilling, why would he work for a human, when this human doesn't even know his real name? What exactly is this devil-like temptation all about?

Zhou Ren didn't know, otherwise he might popularize the so-called Das Kapital to the other party. For chaotic and evil creatures, capital is the nightmare they can never escape.

Moreover, if he designs to frame and capture evil creatures, it will not actually violate his righteous policy. As long as the camp does not shift, isn't it up to him to decide what he does?

"Never mind, I'm going to try it!" Balo thought about it. This matter is not harmful to him. At worst, he will lose an incarnation.

For demons, their projections in various worlds are actually quite a few. An incarnation is all they can afford to lose.

If what that human said is true, then he would make a big profit. Being able to kill other demons and devour their origins and will, let alone cooperate with humans, even cooperate with angels, why not?

"My brothers, it's not that I'm unwilling to leave you a way out…" Balo muttered to himself, "It's just that he gave too much!"

PS: There is one more update on the way!
