MC's career as foreign lord

The whereabouts of the two liches weren't particularly difficult to find. They had very arrogantly constructed a rather peculiar house in the flat, sandy Soul Sand Valley.

It was peculiar because, apart from the area where the two liches conducted experiments, most of the house was divided into small compartments, containing zombie pigmen and piglins.

They seemed to be studying the relationship between these zombie creatures and Soul Fire. The blue flames enveloped all these creatures, making them look utterly innocent.

"You guys are having quite the party!" Zhou Ren said. How could every race here possess such a high desire for exploration? It was completely different from what he had imagined.

He had originally thought that these people would have a low desire for exploration. After all, in a sense, all magical races should be good at entertainment. Their long lives couldn't possibly be just for research, right?

Then reality slapped him hard in the face. Whether it was the Elven researchers, the Dwarven artisans, or these two different types of liches, they were all doing research that he couldn't understand.

After the Soul Fire was completely extinguished, the two liches also joined Zhou Ren's team, returning to their original location, which was in front of the Nether portal.

Even though it had only been less than a week of exploration, he felt like a lifetime had passed. This world, filled with red and strangeness, was indeed completely different from the main world. Although there weren't any creatures from the main world, the Nether creatures alone made them feel ominous.

But thankfully, no matter what, he had completed the goals he had initially set, going through all the structures and obtaining a large amount of materials and resources.

He even obtained a lot of the most scarce Netherite. As for basic items like Netherrack and Soul Sand, every skeleton had dug up a backpack full.

He should make a Tinkers' Construct backpack later, Zhou Ren thought. They made a simple defensive structure in front of the Nether portal, placing a wooden door (to prevent Nether creatures from wandering over), and then they all walked into it.

…

"Lord Noxil, although I don't really want to say it, it is true that traces of different races' activities have appeared in that area!" A succubus appeared beside the dozing Plutonium Dragon, causing his mountain-like body to tremble slightly. Then, eyes larger than human houses suddenly opened.

"Have these hateful little bugs finally revealed their true colors? Have you found out where they came from?" Noxil roared loudly, but was greeted with a silent shake of the head.

The succubus made a helpless gesture, "We can only locate them as coming from an area in the southern part of the continent, but we are not sure who it is!"

"Send your succubi to the main world to see if anything major has happened in the south. I think it's probably the work of these guys who like to make big things happen!" the Plutonium Dragon said.

His eyes were deep and calm, showing no sign of the previous rage. "I want to see who dares to cause such a scene in my territory?"

"Your will is the direction we will proceed!" The succubus hurriedly bowed and then left this place, which was poisonous even for demons.

Although the Plutonium Dragon himself didn't attack anyone unexpectedly, the radioactive elements emanating from his body would affect different creatures, even causing drastic mutations.

He still didn't leave the place where he was lying, his eyes probing the periphery of the world, staring intently at the top of that area. Some endless black blocks still stood there, and he couldn't destroy even a tiny bit of these black blocks, except for the mushrooms.

This aroused his great interest and was filled with endless reverence. He was a dragon standing at the peak of this world, and even ordinary gods wouldn't dare to say they could defeat him.

Since he himself couldn't break it, then the gods definitely couldn't break it either, and the demons definitely had no chance. Perhaps this kind of thing could only wait for the strongest main god, Lathander, or the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, to try!

No one knew what this dragon was thinking in his heart. His seemingly furious eyes were clear, as if waiting for the person behind the scenes to appear.

It was just that the demons in this layer of the Abyss were suffering for no reason. They were driven by some legendary demons to find a way to the main world, and they used all kinds of methods to go to the south of the continent. There, they would pass through the Elven High Forest and then find the most significant point of change in the south.

Of course, Zhou Ren wouldn't know what kind of experience his actions had left on the demons, but his current days weren't very pleasant either.

He finally returned to the main world, but there were no beauties to embrace him, nor other gifts to give. There were only attacks from a group of winged little monsters.

There were no villages in this world yet, so he naturally didn't encounter any Pillagers in the wild. After searching the entire territory, there was no Woodland Mansion either.

So the winged little cuties couldn't possibly be the monsters from the Woodland Mansion. It was only possible that they were a kind of monster that would attack people at night.

"Phantoms?" Zhou Ren said.

You can't place a bed in the Nether. The reason for this is different from the main world. There is no distinction between day and night in the Nether, so you can't sleep there either.

His group hadn't slept for a full 7 days there, so they would naturally experience mental breakdown, which would lead to Phantom attacks.

But this was just a small problem in action. These strange nocturnal creatures wouldn't really think that their attacks could bring danger to Zhou Ren, right?

After quickly resolving this group of creatures, all the races returned to their homes, while he ran to the house and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he saw a smiling Shia preparing breakfast for him.

On the other side, the little dragon girl Anna was teasing her little niece. Leah was holding a bear, with lightning elements on her head, having a great time.

"What are you looking at? I'm not here to help you prepare breakfast. I'm just here to freeload!" Seeing Zhou Ren's gaze, Anna seemed a little uncomfortable and quickly said.

"How do I remember someone running to the portal every day to take a look, and shouting and waking me up last night?" Shia unceremoniously exposed her, leading to Anna's embarrassed and angry chase.

The two girls ran around Zhou Ren, making him feel a burst of happiness. Drinking the freshly prepared milk and eating bread, Zhou Ren quickly entered his initial lifestyle.

"Don't you guys have anything to do today?" Zhou Ren asked. Although they had a good relationship, both girls were leaders of a race, so it was impossible for them to play with him every day.

Even their usual communication is squeezed out of their time. Just like today, he just returned to the territory and can't rest.

Like the two girls, he is also the owner of a territory and needs to spend a lot of time on the management and construction of the territory.

So, usually, they have a little fun during meals, and after eating, discussing work is their real daily life.

“I have already handed over most of the Dragon Clan's work. Now I just need to wait for your side's affairs!” Anna was very happy. She finally finished her work and was waiting for this moment when she could play around freely.

“I still have to help each elf find their foothold. Many people want to run to the lower realm to take a look. I have to review their qualifications…” Shia looked dejected.

They have a large number of elves, and there are many things to do. At least for a week, she won't have much time.

“Then let’s continue to work hard. When we finish all the things, it won’t be too late to take our time!” Zhou Ren patted her hand and said.

“Yeah!” The two parted ways at the door, and Anna followed behind Zhou Ren step by step.

“Are you sure you want to go with me to see the underground scene?” Zhou Ren asked. The appearance of this underground area is a secret. The Silver Dragon wouldn't be unaware, so the meaning it represents is actually very clear.

Once Anna goes underground with him, it means that at least for a long period of time, this Silver Dragon will not be able to disassociate herself from the territory.

“Oh, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? You're being fussy, let's go!” She stepped into the minecart and pulled Zhou Ren down the road leading to the mine.

“Wow! It's so big here, it can even allow my true form to lie down directly!” The Silver Dragon, who was using the Dragon Transformation Technique, was still exclaiming.

After a longer period of excavation, this area has become more magnificent and vast. All kinds of items are placed in boxes, categorized, more like a wall.

As for the smelting furnace that extends to the top of this area, and the demons burning inside, the eerie flames seem to reflect everyone's hearts.

This is one of the most core secrets of the territory, the Tinker's Construct Smeltery.

Some foods that need to be baked have also flowed down from the top, arriving in the scorched furnace, being roasted by the scorching flames, and then being transferred to another funnel passage in the next moment.

After all the food is roasted here, it will be sent to the top through another road, and then appear in the areas of various races and be taken away by them.

Of course, this is not a completely selfless idea, and it is also filled with various prices. Only by spending a certain number of coins on the top can you unlock ordinary food.

However, this self-service food method has won the approval of most races. They don't need to spend a lot of time making food, they only need to invest a small number of coins to obtain it.

Moreover, the number of coins they usually earn from work is not small. After weighing the pros and cons and the time, except for some more stingy humans, most races choose to buy food here.

As for the other Tinker's Construct Tank, it is filled with liquids of various colors, making the Silver Dragon's eyes light up. These liquids seem to be shining, and may turn into different metal ingots, and then make all the dragons fall.

“I have seen this big tank in some mountain dwarf territories, but their big tanks are much bigger than yours!” Anna said, “I saw them build a piece of armor for my grandfather, made of pure mithril!”

“Oh? Do you dragons also need armor?” Zhou Ren was very curious.

What is the Silver Dragon King? A legendary high-level or even near-demigod guy. The strength of his body allows him to directly fight against the Godspawn in most cases.

Even such a dragon, every scale on his body should be equivalent to mithril, or even a special alloy. Why would he need a mithril armor?

“Of course not for fighting. He just thought it would be cooler to wear a piece of armor usually. Later, that piece of armor was thrown into the treasure house. Wearing it is not only heavy but also affects movement. No dragon would wear it at all!”

“Um…” Zhou Ren felt that this dragon was very much like himself when buying things. When he first saw it, he thought this thing was really useful to him, so he didn’t think about anything and bought it quickly.

After buying it, he found that this thing was of no use to him at all, and it even took up space to leave it aside to collect dust, but he couldn't throw it away because he had lost money.

After ruthlessly complaining about her grandfather, Anna refocused her gaze on the giant smelting furnace in front of her, “What are we going to do today?”

Zhou Ren smiled, “You usually use spoken language when casting spells, and you use your body to fight when not casting spells. You don’t need to do anything, do you?”

“Who said that!” Anna refused to accept, “I use those tools very smoothly, isn’t it because you guys never let me use them!”

She took out a big hammer. The iron hammer shone with a metallic luster, seemingly bringing her back to that battlefield.

“When fighting with my body, I can use this big hammer to beat my brother until he screams!”

“Isn’t your brother a legendary dragon?” Zhou Ren thought of that silent young Silver Dragon, who was also Leah’s father.

This Silver Dragon doesn't talk much usually, but secretly bears the curse, which can be considered a tough guy.

“When a legendary dragon becomes an elf, he also has a body strength of over 60, but he still can’t withstand the attack of this hammer. Tell me how it’s useless?” Anna said, “I feel that all the tools here can be used by us dragons!”

Zhou Ren’s eyes lit up, “Doesn’t that mean that if I make more weapons, I can directly put them on the auction house?”

Anna was stunned by his words. The Silver Dragon realized that she had been careless. The guy in front of her was not only a naive human, but also a big capitalist and the lord of the territory. How could she let the other party discover the secret of the Dragon Clan?

“If you add more materials when encountering the Dragon Clan in the future, then selling it for two to three times the price shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Zhou Ren said, his eyes flickering as if he already had a pricing in mind.

“It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t raise the price for me!” Anna recovered quickly. She suddenly thought that she also had a share in this auction, so she could raise it as much as she wanted. It would be best to knock out all those dragons who like to hide treasures one by one!
