MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 96 Acquisition

As the old saying goes, a scholar cannot but be resolute and broad-minded, for his burden is heavy and his road is long. If Zhou Ren wants to complete such a plan, it will probably take a very, very, very long time.

It's like he has only obtained 30 gold coins worth of experience points so far. These experience points are stored in the gold coins, and he only needs to absorb them again to regain them, which is not a bad method.

However, this method is very slow. He is wondering if he should really build a mob farm. This would not only reduce the spawning of monsters outside, but also alleviate the crisis of losing his own experience.

In MC, the spawning of monsters is fixed. In a certain fixed area, only a specific number of monsters will spawn.

And when these monsters are concentrated in one area and not despawned, no monsters will spawn in the remaining areas.

In the mouths of some players, this state is called pseudo-peace, that is, disguised peace, or fake peace mode—in short, it is a mode where there are almost no monsters outside.

Sometimes, Zhou Ren would build several mob farms and then place some mob spawners in them. The mob spawners would continuously spawn monsters. Then, he would wander around, clearing as many monsters as possible, leaving only the monsters in the mob farms he built.

This is also a method of creating a monster-free space.

"Hey? Thinking about it this way, why do I feel like I'm the real villain?" Zhou Ren rubbed his head. Although creating pseudo-peace is not very meaningful, mob farms can still be built.

The monster density in this area is not very terrifying. He tested it last night, and it's about the same as a normal night, as long as there is no blood moon in this world…

"Uh…" Zhou Ren suddenly thought of something. Since these things are being injected into this world little by little, then the blood moon, wouldn't it suddenly appear one day when he doesn't pay attention?

This is not impossible. On the contrary, it is a highly probable event. He wrote this matter into his memo. If a blood moon really appears in the future, then he will probably need new methods to deal with it.

First of all, around his territory, he really needs to build a wall like the Great Wall, at least one that can be attacked from above, and also needs to be made of blocks that are strong enough to withstand the attacks and dismantling of those monsters.

During the blood moon, monsters will attack stones and dismantle doors and windows. Ordinary furniture can't resist it at all. At this time, it is necessary to create more excellent defensive terrain and more powerful defensive tools.

This is also the reason why this mod brings so many powerful equipment. Moreover, because of the existence of the blood moon, a large number of monsters will respawn, giving high experience points, and they will also leave a little bit of drops as a reward.

"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm still losing out?" Zhou Ren complained, but he gradually got used to MC occasionally pulling a big move on him.

All he can do now is passively accept it, but if he becomes strong enough in the future, he can take the initiative to explore.

"Master, you have a message!" Mosa's voice sounded in his ear. Zhou Ren took out his spirit notebook.

He is much more unrestrained this time. After confirming his position, he no longer cares about the little thoughts of the spirits, but very naturally puts the spirit notebook into his backpack.

This way, if those people want to find him, they can only go through Mosa. He will notify him, and the message on the spirit notebook is indeed very short.

It's from Mayor Locke, "Lord, I will arrive at the gate of your territory in a few minutes, please come out and meet me!"

After the secretary suddenly turned into a demon, he didn't have time to continue looking for his deputy, but slowly dealt with the things at hand.

This town will probably remain in the future, but if this area all becomes Zhou Ren's territory, the town will probably find a reason to hand it over to Zhou Ren to manage.

So Locke is very straightforward. After knowing this news, he has already prepared to evacuate from here after the war is over. Anyway, there are not many formal residents here anymore, and the military organizations are probably all going to retreat. In the future, this place will become a pure mercenary camp.

Zhou Ren doesn't know about this yet, but he can also guess this kind of change in status, so he doesn't care, but quickly replies on it.

"Permission has been granted, you can come directly to my house, I'm waiting for you in the pavilion!" Zhou Ren said. He put all the enchanted tools on the second floor into an empty box, and the box was placed next to the enchanting table.

In the future, this box will be a special enchanting box. He can come over and make a sign when he has time, and then he goes upstairs to get some tea leaves.

Now the tea leaves can also mature every two or three days, so at least under the premise of ordinary drying, his green tea will not be insufficient to drink.

But that's all. What Zhou Ren is thinking about is to fill the entire aerial farm with tea gardens, so as to avoid a tea crisis in the future.

Moreover, various teas can also be put on the agenda, including but not limited to special drinks such as milk tea and lemon tea.

Thinking about it this way, is it possible to conquer the stomachs of those people by making milk tea in this magical world?

He smiled, took a bag of tea leaves downstairs, brewed it with boiling water, and waited in the pavilion.

Now this tea has almost become a symbol of himself. Although he only makes green tea and black tea, these two effects alone are enough to make most of the races on the entire continent flock to it.

After all, the cloud body of green tea means that there is a 50% chance of not being hit, and the life improvement of black tea means that the essence of life is improved for a period of time.

Zhou Ren tested it and found that relative to the obscure and monotonous magic elements of this world, MC's improvement method is obviously more complete and harmonious.

This is a special way of improvement. What people in this world are more enthusiastic about should be some products that have a particularly fast effect, such as magic or martial power output.

It's just that in the basic rules of this world, even magic has a failure rate, let alone other things, so Zhou Ren's things that can even improve combat power are naturally very important to them.

Zhou Ren also basically understood this logic. If you have to say which one is better between the products of these two worlds, of course, the MC world is better. This comes from its different world rules.

After all, in the block world, there has never been a distinction between strong and weak, only good or bad use. If used well, a simple device or enchantment can slaughter the Ender Dragon.

Polite Ender Dragon: Are… you… kidding… me?

However, he didn't underestimate this world either. After all, it was a world where gods and demons had appeared, and these beings possessed incredibly powerful strength and inexplicable resistance to power.

Even Mosa had said that his ability to defeat the green dragon relied more on the combination of his own attributes and the power of MC items, rather than sheer strength.

In other words, if you want to thrive in this world using the power of MC, you either need to possess purely powerful items or sufficient controllable power.

So, during this time, Zhou Ren had also considered the relationship between these two. It wasn't simply a case of 1+1 > 2; rather, it was like a collision between two special rules, resulting in a unique effect.

Therefore, he also realized that MC creations were not invincible. If anyone claimed otherwise, they were either stupid or malicious.

Besides this god-like field, the high and mighty gods might also have ways to break it.

So, when Zhou Ren descended, he never considered this field as the ultimate safety net, until he touched the rules of that demon a few times and discovered a blocky hand reaching out from behind, which made him stop.

Now, his confidence stemmed from two god-like, demon-like figures. If there really was a Steve who was like the creator god, he probably wouldn't be afraid of anyone.

With Creative Mode enabled and commands available, Steve could even modify the rules of any world, which was a power belonging to the creator god himself.

It was based on this consideration that he prepared to discuss the matter of these monsters with the town chief. Zhou Ren didn't intend to devour these monsters; frankly, the practicality wasn't very high.

However, these monsters were a point he urgently needed to resolve. If he delayed for too long, his daily production would likely be affected, which he couldn't tolerate.

On one hand, he planned to build a monster spawner to hoard monsters, and on the other hand, he needed these mercenaries to clear out those special monsters for him.

The town chief Locke hurried over. In this territory, almost all special abilities were sealed, and only a few authorized people like them could move freely.

This "move freely" applied only to Mosa, because Zhou Ren didn't have any special abilities, and Little Skeleton was even faster than the wind.

Mosa, on the other hand, was using teleportation or flash techniques everywhere due to various matters, jumping around as if he could be in two places at once.

When he saw town chief Locke arrive, he didn't say much. His figure flashed suddenly, and he jumped back to the top of the aerial farm.

Zhou Ren said he wanted to expand the farm area, so they hadn't continued picking tea leaves for several days. If they waited a few more days, the tea leaves would go from ripe to flowering.

Anyway, there were still enough tea leaves for now, so they could collect some seeds first.

After the tea leaves flowered, they would soon produce seeds, which were the tea tree seeds that could be planted again. Besides the four watchtowers on this layer, there was still a lot of vast space that could be used to create four symmetrical planting platforms, capable of planting 320 tea trees.

Moreover, due to the altitude, the five layers from this layer to the top were very suitable for planting tea leaves. If such a farm were completely built, each harvest could yield at least 1600 tea leaves.

At most, it could even exceed 6400 leaves. Of course, such a thing was almost impossible to happen. Even for the luckiest player, the chance of harvesting 4 leaves from each of the 1600 tea trees was too low.

When Locke arrived, Zhou Ren had already personally poured tea into the two wooden teacups in front of him, "Please!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Locke nodded. He had been summoned in a hurry and was probably a little puzzled, but Zhou Ren's status was different from before. His current noble identity was much more impressive than his as the town chief.

After they raised their cups and drank together, they calmed down. Zhou Ren said, "Town Chief Locke, I called you here because I have something important to discuss. Have you noticed any strange creatures suddenly appearing?"

"The Earl means…" Locke said, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Then, he suddenly raised his head, as if a light bulb had been lit above his head.

"If you put it that way, I have indeed received a report. I heard that there are some special humanoid creatures with stiff movements wandering around the town!"

Zhou Ren nodded, "If there are no accidents, those should be the creatures I know. This matter is related to me, but they still managed to spread to your place!"

"These creatures… does the Earl know the specific situation?" Locke asked. After hearing this news, he felt that the tea in his hand had lost its flavor.

After all, the matter of the orc invasion hadn't been resolved yet, and now such a thing had happened again, which really made him feel worried.

He rubbed his hair in distress. Could he quit being the town chief? Why were so many strange things happening?

Zhou Ren smiled, "I'm looking for you mainly to issue an order. I will purchase the drops from those monsters, whether it's the rotten flesh dropped by zombies, the bones dropped by skeletons, or even the gunpowder dropped by those green creepers, I will collect them all!"

"Those giant spiders, bigger than a human head, will drop a special kind of silk thread, which I will also collect. How about you help me issue a purchase order?"

This was the result or answer he had come up with after thinking about it all night. Relying solely on the three of them to harvest these monsters was naturally not very realistic.

So, he wanted to use this group of energetic mercenaries, but he didn't want to come forward directly to explain it to Brown, so town chief Locke was a very suitable choice.

"Then you have to tell me all about the combat power and categories of these monsters so we can make a choice!" Locke said, "By the way… do the monsters near the wasteland need to be cleared out?"

Zhou Ren shook his head, revealing a shallow smile, "What are you talking about? Aren't there only orcs and kobolds in the wasteland?"

The smile on his face looked slightly dazzling to the other party, "I don't know that these guys have suddenly run to the wasteland. If there is a problem, that's their own problem, isn't it?"
