MC's career as foreign lord

“I'd rather not have this kind of holiday...” Sitting at the dining table in the evening, Zhou Ren was still complaining to Mossa.

He never imagined that his day would be spent like this. After experiencing the crazy celebration in the morning, all the people seemed to have no heart for work.

They were experiencing this celebration, which seemed to only happen once a year, and also dragged those who were supposed to be preparing for work to join in the madness for a day, so everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration all day long.

Of course, Zhou Ren was not idle either. He accompanied the two young ladies on a tour of the territory, thoroughly understanding the structure and attributes of the entire territory.

He learned the location of the other three different pools, which were the sins of Tiamat. The previous green dragon seemed to have stayed in that venom pool for quite a while.

He could clearly see the traces of the green dragon's life in those venom pools, and he could also see that the silver dragon seemed very comfortable in the territory filled with frost.

If it weren't for the distance of his own territory, Zhou Ren's main territory being the closest, and possessing many things that he couldn't part with, Anna would have even prepared to move her home directly to that icy and snowy pool.

After all, this is a pure frost area. For the silver dragon, this is the best place to live. Even if she didn't move, she subconsciously made a magic wall to surround the ice and snow territory, preparing to use it as a resort or something else.

Zhou Ren didn't stop her. This kind of icy and snowy place was just right for him to collect some snow, so he wouldn't be afraid of not having snow and ice to make snow golems in the future.

What's more, there are still some floating ice cubes here, which are actually used as decorations and, after being broken, become one of the best things to use as water.

He even enthusiastically described the knowledge about ice skating to the two of them, and then, under the required magic, the three of them put on a pair of skates and fell several times on the ice.

He hadn't really learned to ice skate, not even roller skating. How could he really learn it the first time?

But whether it was him or the two girls, they were actually very happy. This kind of joy of exploring the unknown was much more intense and comfortable than the usual kind of joy.

This frost territory can also be regarded as leaving an interesting mark on Zhou Ren, letting him know that even in his own territory, there are actually many places that have not been explored.

So the three of them embarked on the journey again. Amidst the laughter and scolding of the two girls, they returned to the edge of the venom-filled pool that they had guessed about.

This should be the thing spewed out by Tiamat's green dragon head. Because it is attached to the divinity of the gods, it will not be reduced like the other pools.

The magma pool has become a selection of ground magma, and has also become the home environment for the dwarves to forge and live in.

The lightning pool is now the temporary residence of those lightning elements. After enjoying the feeding, these guys are lazy and stay in the pool every day, and even Leiqiu is not willing to take care of them.

The ice and snow pool they had just visited had already become a world of ice and snow. If there wasn't a white dragon full of frost living there, it would probably remain a snow mountain for a long time.

Only in the green dragon pool, the truly silent environment filled with venom, no creatures dare to approach. In those green bubbling venom pools, there seems to be endless danger hidden.

“Let's seal this place up. If ordinary people pass by here and accidentally get touched by the venom, then we'll be in big trouble!” Zhou Ren said, and immediately built a wall, surrounding the pool with stone blocks, leaving only an iron door for entry and exit.

These venoms will definitely be useful in the future. Even if he hasn't found out what the use is, it's just like those mushroom people, who may bring him a little surprise at any time.

Then they came to the last place, a black land filled with corrosiveness and flames.

“I know the attributes of white dragons, green dragons, blue dragons, and red dragons, but what are the attributes of black dragons?” Zhou Ren said, he was really a little curious, after all, the other attributes are very simple, but the black dragon seems to be a more interesting superimposed attribute species.

What it spews out is a highly corrosive and terrifying liquid, but the place where it lives is a swamp and other humid caves, with a very strong stench.

This kind of dragon with very high acidity, corrosiveness, and rottenness is the black dragon, and the things spewed out by Tiamat are naturally full of stench.

This area seems to be a real doomsday area, filled with all kinds of stenches, making people feel difficult to approach and difficult to figure out.

“Let's stay away from here. Maybe we can find some carrion-eating creatures next time to completely clean up this area that is full of nutrients but also smells bad!”

Zhou Ren said, he finally cleaned up the 5 mysterious places. The entire wasteland is no longer a secret to him. The two girls also had a great time. After giving him a simple gift each, they left.

“Xiya gave a piece of jewelry, and Anna gave a scale! Hiss!” Although he didn't quite understand the customs of this world, he also knew that the things given by girls were mostly not good things.

On the contrary, Mossa was very open-minded, “Master, there is no need to be so decadent. It is fine if you accept what they give you. You are the lord of this area, and you will definitely become a greater figure in the future. What if you accept it?”

Because the lich seemed to believe in his future more than Zhou Ren himself, he frantically encouraged him. After the boy swallowed some food, he looked bitter.

But fortunately, his own control ability was relatively strong, and he quickly adapted, and then refocused his gaze on Mossa.

“I remember you said during the day that you would temporarily adjust the gift you were going to give me to the evening. Now that the evening time has arrived, shouldn't you fulfill it?”

The lich nodded easily, and then took out a box with a mysterious light from the table, “What I want to give you is an incredibly precious treasure from the Underdark!”

He said, “Many things in the Underdark are related to this treasure. You must keep it safe!”

He opened the box. The box was glowing. It was actually an item filled with life. It looked like a sapling, but when he came back to his senses again, where was this a sapling? This was clearly a book!

"From the roots of the World Tree, this is the World Book, depicting all the resources of the underground!" Mosa said, "Master, this is the gift I want to give you. Obtaining this book will make you the true master of all underground areas in a certain region!"

"You mean you're giving me a territory?" Zhou Ren said, sizing up the lich before him. He truly was an old antique who had lived long enough.

According to Mosa's explanation, the World Book's function is to define the species production and composition of a certain area.

The great Mother of the Tree of Life, the roots of the World Tree, are rooted in all the underground areas of the entire Toril world. All the Underdark regions actually exist thanks to the support of this Tree of Life, and the liquids and various substances left on its branches have become the lifeblood of the underground races.

Because of this, the World Book, crafted from the roots of the Tree of Life, will completely control that area. Whoever obtains this book will have unparalleled advantages in building territories or creating teleportation portals.

"You really have a deep mind. You're already thinking about setting up new territories for me when I haven't even finished building this one?" Zhou Ren said, as the lich slowly retreated.

This was originally a problem that he, as the lord, should be considering, and he shouldn't rely on others. Zhou Ren nodded silently and solemnly put the book away into a box beside him.

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

In the future, he will definitely use this book to continue exploring the Underdark. As for now, there's no need. Today's busyness has passed, and his relationship with the two girls has made deeper progress. Now, he should go and try the 'mind-meld' that the mushroom people mentioned.

The Myconids are very magical creatures, and this magic is reflected in every aspect of their world. They are one of the few who can live in the Underdark and still maintain lawful good alignment.

These creatures move slowly and are the only race among all that opposes violence and prefers to live in peace with others.

They don't like to be active in the sunlight because it burns their skin and damages their life systems, so they often stay within their own territory.

They have a complete tribal structure and way of life. Most of their food comes from the mushrooms they grow themselves, and their mushrooms have developed into various species under this method, including but not limited to the huge mushrooms that can be used as houses and the tiny mushrooms that can be used as toys.

After coming to this world, their bodies have undergone very drastic changes under the influence and alteration of the MC rules.

Their shapes began to change from round to square, and their mushroom forms also changed from their previous dull and clumsy appearance to the current state of large, individual canopies, completely connecting their territories, blocking out the sunlight, and illuminating the area with glowing mushrooms, making it brightly lit.

These little guys have no desires and no thoughts of fighting. As one of the few races that only hopes to live in peace, they repeat their monotonous work day after day. They work 8 hours a day, tending to the fungal fields, collecting resources, and maintaining defensive fortifications.

And here, they have a new way of life. They began to run around the huge mushroom trees, twining around the newly grown mushrooms to play. Their steps are gentle and peaceful, and even stepping on the mushrooms will not cause any damage.

In this world, they have obviously evolved new ways to play. Zhou Ren didn't know that in the original description, these mushroom people had any ability to manipulate the spiritual world through different sizes of mushrooms.

They are simply friendly to foreign creatures. As long as the other party behaves kindly, they will not show any malice and will even allow visitors to freely enter and leave their colonies and even provide them with shelter.

This kindness has caused them a lot of trouble. In the underground world, they often shelter some prisoners or captives, causing the Mind Flayers and Dark Elves to constantly cause them trouble.

Mosa also said that their temporary settlements have had some problems because of the kindness of these mushroom people, but it cannot be denied that they are kind enough to bring hope to other races.

Until they came to this world on the surface, the magnanimous lords gave them more living space and a more beautiful living environment. They began to sow spores and cultivate new Myconids.

They spread their seeds everywhere, allowing the mushrooms to grow bigger and stronger. They also created new mushrooms, which are the small mushrooms that can be used as ordinary servers, allowing even people without spores to connect to their spiritual world.

After Zhou Ren finished eating, he opened the gift from the Myconids. The other gifts had already been sorted and placed, and some decorations and objects had also been placed on the wall, becoming their toys.

As for that mushroom, he solemnly placed it on a stand beside the bed. He leaned on it slightly, taking advantage of the time before night to prepare for a tour of those spiritual worlds.

"Well, our lord seems to have finally arrived here!" Myconid Ten opened his eyes and issued instructions to all the mushroom people in the territory. His spores spread throughout the forest.

All the mushroom people opened their eyes, then closed them again. They were also very curious about what kind of result a creature that did not belong to their race would cause after coming to their dream.

"Is this the world of mind-meld?" Zhou Ren said. No wonder all the mushroom people are immersed in it. This patch of mushroom forest, these mushroom trees, are simply their ideal paradise.

In this world, the mushroom people are no longer slow-moving creatures. They have rapid strides, bodies that can float, and completely different mindsets.

All the mushroom people are very happy, their faces filled with smiles, exploring and searching in this world. Even though this world is not very big, it looks exceptionally interesting.

No wonder their race has no desire to move forward. Their monotonous life does not exist at all in this world. Everything can be created through imagination, just like a real dream world.
