MC's career as foreign lord

"You're right!" As political creatures, Locke quickly understood and couldn't help but admire the seemingly kind-hearted but secretly ruthless young man in front of him.

He felt that Zhou Ren shouldn't be here as his so-called lord; he should go to Silvermoon City to exert his political influence.

After all, although the Silvermoon Empire is dominated by elves, humans have also occupied a significant political position in recent years, which is due to the empire's main system.

Elves with long lives always want to slack off, so they are somewhat procrastinating or slow in everything they do, but humans with short lives are very eager to live every day to the fullest.

However, Locke himself shook his head and rejected this decision, this kind of thing is just a thought.

As a newly promoted God-given noble, Zhou Ren has no need to step into the political quagmire full of conspiracies and schemes. Even if he stays here and does nothing, he is at least an imperial grand duke or even an imperial prince.

Locke nodded slightly, indicating that he would carry out this order. "Then I won't disturb you any further!"

Zhou Ren stopped him, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. If you don't understand clearly, you will suffer a great loss in the subsequent cleanup mission!"

He took out a few special props and showed them to the other party, namely rotten meat, bones and gunpowder, and spider silk. "These are the things that monsters will drop. I will buy them at a high price. As for how much the price is, you can help me estimate it first!"

He directly raised tens of thousands of standard gold coins. At least before his own currency system is established, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth is still a top choice.

Anyway, he has a lot of money now, but there are not many monsters around the territory, so this little gold coin should be enough.

And if he wants to establish a currency system that runs through the entire continent, so as to achieve some of his own goals, the time required should also be very long.

Zhou Ren had even made long-term preparations. He would start from the Elven Empire and its surroundings, and gradually build this currency system into one that is recognized by all races in the world and on the entire continent.

As for now, it's better to obediently use the things from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. I wonder how O'Harrigan's negotiations are going. Why has everything developed to this point, and there is still no sign of him?

Zhou Ren shook his head, showed Locke the few things in front of him one by one, and then explained the elements of several monsters to him.

"Zombies move slowly, but their attacks are huge. If you don't want to be killed in a few hits, it's best to choose to sneak attack and leave immediately!"

"Little Whites are slow to move, but their arrows are particularly accurate. You either prepare a shield, carry the shield and approach to chop them to death, or find an angle that they can't notice and rush over to fight them in close combat!"

"As for Creepers, use ranged attacks if you can. It's best not to let them get close, otherwise the violent explosion may prevent people below advanced professionals from surviving!"

"Spiders have a single attack method, but you have to overcome your fear of big monsters and don't let them get close to you, so that you can't even use your attacks!"

After briefly introducing the characteristics of these monsters, Zhou Ren indicated that Mosa could see the guests off. For the sake of monster refresh and his future experience, he felt that it was still necessary to build a monster spawning tower.

Moreover, he also thought of using the monster spawning tower to restrict monster spawning in other areas.

Except for the direction of the grassland, he didn't plan to restrict it. He planned to use these monster groups to build a simple protective wall.

Monsters in other areas should not exist, so he could use the monster spawning mechanism of the MC world to complete it, that is, to reasonably control the monsters in a certain dark area.

"I need to build a monster spawning tower in a place with particularly high light, to ensure that even if I kill the monsters falling below, there are still enough monsters above to make the surrounding monsters spawn as little as possible!"

Zhou Ren thought, he needed a block of space, and the mine below didn't actually need to be managed.

When they go down to the mine, they will gradually light up each area, and those areas that have not been lit up will also be cleared little by little.

This is originally a long-term process and does not need to be bothered now. Now it is just to ensure that there are not many monsters on the ground, mainly to save trouble and protect the ordinary people.

Zhou Ren thought of Henry. If he asked someone to run errands and the other party was directly killed by a monster, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?

Fortunately, there is not much of anything in his territory, but in fact there is not little space. A large number of torches were directly inserted into the ground to ensure that the brightness of this area is sufficient.

This is the junction of the house and the farm, the center of the road, or the center of the sky. There is a huge open space here.

He began to prepare to build a monster spawning tower in this area. Taking the origin of the monster spawning tower where he was standing as the center, extending outward by 48 squares, this should be the best monster spawning area.

So he lit up all the 48 squares of space, then the monsters can only spawn in the dark places within 48 squares above and below this area.

Moreover, if he specifically creates a dark place, the monsters will of course spawn very freely here, and this monster spawning tower is not too far from his house, just forming a 45-degree angle with places like the farm, which can be covered by his usual activities.

In this way, even when he is on the farm or in his house, the monster spawning tower is also shrouded in his activity range.

This also means that even if he is not around the monster spawning tower, because a large area of space is lit up, all the monsters can only be squeezed into the dark environment of the monster spawning tower.

This can also be regarded as a simple method of controlling spawning, and it is also a link in Zhou Ren's plan!

Lighting up the surrounding space did not take too much effort. He quickly filled the entire map with torches, and the next step was naturally to make the monster spawning tower.

The monster spawning tower itself has various forms, from the simplest semi-automatic water flow monster spawning tower to the top-level high-efficiency redstone monster spawning tower. There is nothing particularly good or bad, the main difference is the difficulty of production and the efficiency of monster spawning.

Especially in the current version. The water flow style monster spawning towers have been abandoned and have become the more efficient two-grid squeezed monster spawning towers.

The advantage of this monster spawning tower is that there will be no monsters, especially creatures like spiders, remaining. They will fall from a high altitude the moment they are generated, so as to ensure the best falling efficiency.

But Zhou Ren didn't need to worry about this problem. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of server crashes. The main reason why many people build this kind of drop-style mob farm is naturally that too many monsters accumulating can cause the server to lag.

This wouldn't be a problem for him. So what if it lagged? Would the world suddenly experience lag because of a tiny bit of monsters? That's too outrageous.

Even if he were to cause world lag in the future, it would be when his advanced mob farm or top-tier item refresh mechanism were all completed.

As for now, he just needed to create a relatively useful mob grinder based on this principle. It's just that he didn't have snow on hand, so he couldn't make the kind of mob farm that squeezes monsters into one block. He could only make a simple two-block one.

This kind of thing could only be improved after it snowed in the future. For now, he should just make this ordinary mob farm first.

Compared to the most common mob farm he learned when he was still a newbie, which was placing a cross-shaped water flow in the middle and then building platforms on the sides, it had already evolved quite a bit.

He just needed to build this automatic drop structure in the air, and then make a large platform below. Put water flow on the platform, and then concentrate it to dig a hole in the center.

Roughly speaking, it was to concentrate the falling monsters to a high point through the water flow. Design trapdoors at the high point, and if the monsters fell directly from the high point, they would probably fall to half a heart of health.

This way, no matter what kind of weapon you held in your hand, you could directly kill all these monsters. Not only could you get more drops, but it wouldn't affect the experience points gained.

If more products are needed in the future, rather than experience points, the falling distance can be changed to be higher, directly killing them by falling, and then collecting them with the hoppers below.

Anyway, the monsters here will respawn after being killed. As long as the distance is controlled, there is no need to worry about spawning in other places.

Zhou Ren had tried it. This world can refresh animals and monsters, but it doesn't say that they will be refreshed away.

After all, the world is always in motion, without any chunks that won't load. Theoretically speaking, there won't be any matter or life that will be refreshed away.

So the monsters that are refreshed will exist permanently. This is also the purpose of him making this mob farm. Except for occasionally needing experience points, most of the monsters should stay obediently in the tower.

If these monsters need to contribute their hard work in the future, it's not impossible to release them. Just make a simple guiding device and water flow impact device, and then use redstone to make a simple door opening and closing device.

Next time, if someone doesn't have eyes and wants to attack here, directly open the door and release the skeletons. A large number of zombie skeletons and creepers charging into battle will definitely be very shocking.

Of course, it's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do. Zhou Ren planned to use leaves and cobblestone to make the monster spawning device. The entire area was sealed off with a huge cobblestone wall to ensure the brightness was 0.

The middle is separated by two blocks to create an overlap of cobblestone and leaves, so that all the monsters will be squeezed to the side by the leaves at the moment they are spawned, and then fall down.

Following the previously designed passage to fall below, forming a perfect route.

He could use redstone to make a simple isolation device. Usually, when he wanted to hoard monsters, he would turn off the water flow button above, so that all the monsters could only move on the platform above.

And once he wanted to get experience, he would turn on the water flow switch, allowing those monsters hoarded on the platform to be washed down directly and become new experience points.

This idea is feasible! Zhou Ren thought, he directly called both helpers over. There were indeed no monsters here. The space during the day was relatively quiet, except for a green creeper in the distance.

Wait, why is it climbing onto the platform? It's going to ruin my tea!

Zhou Ren suddenly reacted, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and aimed to shoot.

"Whoosh!" The faint sound of the bowstring shot the creeper directly from the top of the steps, dropping it to the ground and turning it into gunpowder on the ground.

Zhou Ren breathed a sigh of relief at this time. After all, creepers never change due to weather changes. Instead, they will be struck by lightning and become even more terrifying Charged Creepers.

Or it can be called a High Voltage Creeper. This kind of creeper with lightning wrapped around it is naturally more terrifying and weirder.

Compared to their companions, they are more like elite monsters. This is also one of the special settings of the MC world.

Many creatures will undergo certain changes in this setting and become other creatures, such as villagers turning into witches, pigs turning into zombies, piglin brutes turning into skeleton horses, etc...

These are almost all transformations from creatures to monsters, and before he usually had the authority to destroy this ability, what he was most afraid of was the creeper.

After all, the fields or houses that were painstakingly planted or built would be gone after a simple boom from the other party. It really made people's blood pressure soar.

But now he doesn't need to worry too much. After all, if everything in the territory is not unlocked, even he himself has no way to destroy it.

The previous explosions of this group of monsters actually proved this point. It can only cause damage outside the territory. Every plant and tree inside the territory is very intact.

Zhou Ren continued to scan around. When he didn't see any other monsters appearing again, he was relieved and began to arrange for Jim to make the base of the mob farm.

Since monsters will not be repeatedly refreshed away, this time he does not need to put the mob farm directly on the ground. This is not only unsightly but also affects movement.

It can be done directly in the sky. In this way, it can minimize the obstruction to daily life, but there are many things to pay attention to when building a mob farm in the sky.

Zhou Ren himself does not have any flying ability. If he builds something in the sky and then falls directly, he probably won't be able to survive.

After all, Steve does not have any flying ability, and he does not want to bet his life on whether this world has resurrection rules.
