Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 37: People are always very patient when it comes to revenge.
Adelaide died, and her death was very sudden.

Before Wang Ji could react, he embraced death, and there was no stopping him.

"The loser has no right to live." — These were the last words Adelaide uttered.

He was a crazy and somewhat delusional old knight.

He so decisively abandoned everything as a living person, without any regrets.

As Wang Ji dragged his corpse down, the hundreds of cavalrymen who had come with Adelaide were in an uproar. Many of them knelt down on the spot, muttering words they had heard from somewhere.

"A devil, a demon... no, perhaps an angel of judgment..."

No one tried to resist.

As members of Adelaide's cavalry, these men were all too aware of their leader's strength.

A mere hundred people were just a warm-up for Eddred, but standing before them was a terrifying being who had fought Eddred all night and ultimately emerged victorious.

Resistance means certain death, surrender might allow you to live a little longer.

"We're going to be very busy from now on."

Ryder rubbed his eyes and took over the cleanup work here.

The cavalrymen were quickly disarmed and imprisoned in makeshift jails, awaiting interrogation or trial.

With Adelaide's death, the Rift Mine where he was stationed became unclaimed land, and naturally, Wang Ji took over the place.

From this moment on, he was a true lord, ruling over two major mining areas and a population of about 15,000.

"so little?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Wang Ji and Ryder had some differences of opinion on this matter.

Ryder said, "That's a lot. To be honest, I didn't expect there to be so many people here. The largest town I've ever managed only had a little over two thousand people, which is considered prosperous in a border region."

"The thought of managing so many people gives me a headache."

With a change of ownership, the brutal management methods of the past can no longer be used.

However, a new model cannot be devised on a whim.

After some thought, the two decided to call Ian over from home so he could work overtime with them.

He understands some things better than anyone else, and it would be a waste not to use them.

Ryder mounted the fastest horse and set off towards home.

"You remember the location, right?"

Wang Ji was somewhat uneasy.

"Of course I remember, I'm not directionally challenged."

Ryder said confidently, "Besides, the weather has been pretty good lately, so I'll bring him over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I believe you."

After bidding farewell to Ryder for the time being, Wang Ji began to think.

Before Ryder and Ian returned, he did not plan to launch any major initiatives, such as changes to the town's system. Wang Ji intended to wait until the two of them returned together before discussing it properly.

However, there are still many things that can be done.

Much.

There were so many tasks, big and small, that even Wang Ji didn't know where to begin.

Let's take it one step at a time.

First is the horse.

Seeing Ryder ride off on horseback, Wang Ji realized that he hadn't yet tested the animal reproduction mechanism.

At this moment, Wang Ji was not far from the manger, so following the principle of proximity, he went straight in and took out two golden carrots.

In Minecraft, horses can be bred using golden carrots, golden apples, or enchanted golden apples. Simply feed these foods to two horses to put them into courtship mode.

Then a pony appeared out of nowhere.

Wang Ji found two horses and tentatively fed them golden carrots.

As Wang Ji raised his hand, the two horses were quickly attracted by the golden carrot he was holding. They sniffed it and started to gnaw on it.

Although the golden radish is made by combining gold nuggets and radish, it has a crunchy texture that is not hard on the teeth and has a unique, slightly sweet flavor.

Just as Wang Ji had predicted, both horses loved to eat, and their ears perked up.

Then, hearts started appearing on their heads.

Although they are both male.

Wang Ji quietly looked at the two horses.

Their gazes became somewhat ambiguous, and they began to move closer to each other.

However, the moment the two horses made contact, a small pony appeared out of thin air, its intelligent eyes looking at the two large horses.

The two large horses were startled, their ears went blank, and they quickly jumped to one side.

They didn't understand what was happening. They just glanced at each other, then lowered their heads, turned their backs, and began to stand as punishment.

It's alright, no need to understand. Wang Ji looked at the slightly dazed little horse that had just appeared before him and understood everything.

It turned out to be the case.

If you can feed them, you can give birth.

He just needs to do it, and the world will see.

The animal problem was thus solved. After confirming that feeding them golden carrots would result in offspring, the task of breeding fast horses was entrusted to the local people.

This is the advantage of having more manpower.

All the simple but time-consuming repetitive tasks can be delegated to others, freeing up Wang Ji's time to do more things.

After briefly assigning some tasks and confirming that there was no trouble in the territory, Wang Ji began to think about the future.

This includes the continued development of the territory, and everything about this empire.

While he was thinking, he didn't stop working. Instead, he went into hell and started building a road to the south.

That's the direction of the capital.

Wang Ji had wanted to do this for a long time, but he hadn't had the chance until now.

Now that I have some free time, it's perfect.

A week later.

Wang Ji opened the gates of hell and arrived in the mortal world. He then opened a world map and began zooming in and out to view it.

At this moment, he was extremely far from the northern mountains, while the capital city was relatively close.

Including the time spent opening and repairing roads, it would take about two or three more days to walk through hell before reaching the vicinity of the capital.

This job is boring, even tedious.

However, people are often very patient when it comes to seeking revenge.

Wang Ji remained silent, returned to Hell, and continued his journey south.

Two days later, he emerged from hell once again.

The capital city is right before our eyes.

My heart rate quickened slightly.

Wang Ji continued forward, measuring the distance, carefully testing it again and again, constantly opening and closing the Gates of Hell.

From outside the city to inside the city, and then from inside the city to the vicinity of the familiar Baggett family manor.

Many closed gates to hell have appeared beneath the capital city.

And so, finally, a day later, Wang Ji successfully opened the Gate of Hell precisely in an inconspicuous corner of the Baggett family manor.

"You wouldn't believe it, I'm back."

"Nobody's going to have an easy time today."

Upon arriving at the manor, Wang Ji did nothing else but immediately dismantle the Gate of Hell and move it deep underground.

Afterwards, he returned to Hell, built a makeshift base out of a matchbox, and began preparations inside.

First, there are various medicines.

Unlike before, this time, Wang Ji began brewing a potion he had never brewed before.

First, use golden carrots to brew night vision potion, and then use fermented spider eyes to brew the night vision potion a second time.

It then became an invisibility potion.

Spiders are plentiful in the mining area, and Wang Ji has collected quite a few spider eyes, so he has plenty of materials.

Soon, a large box of invisibility potion was brewed.

This potion can make everything about the user, except for their armor, transparent, including the clothes worn inside the King's Armor.

It's amazing, but that's how it was determined. It seems that the clothes were considered Wang Ji's 'skin' and not as protective gear.

Gudong.

After drinking an invisibility potion, Wang Ji arrived in the real world. He carefully and quietly sneaked into the manor and arrived at the third room on the left side of the second floor of the villa.

He killed the manor's old butler here last time, and also extracted a lot of information from him.

But this time he was disappointed.

Two months had passed, and the room had been repaired, but it was empty and had little furniture, seemingly having been abandoned.

Come here for free.

but it does not matter.

Wang Ji appeared very patient in the enemy's stronghold.

"Finally, I can go back and rest."

At the manor gate, a guard breathed a sigh of relief, handed over the shift to the replacement, and then hummed a little tune as he walked back.

She seems to be in a good mood.

But clearly, he was celebrating too soon.
