MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 177: Netherworld Monster Tower

After Zhou Ren carefully considered Silver Dragon's idea, he found that it actually had a certain feasibility, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"You can try this during the next war, but right now we need to farm iron golems, so let's not do this kind of experiment!" He rejected Anna's suggestion.

Xi Ya also said, "We can summon these big guys first, and then slowly kill them directly in the corner. You get iron ingots through this method, right?"

Zhou Ren nodded, "The number of iron golems is endless. As long as we eliminate the previous one before the next one appears, we can obtain a certain amount of iron ingots!"

"This is the same method that elemental mages use to obtain elemental blocks. They summon some special elements, and monsters kill them in the corner to obtain the elemental products they drop!" Xi Ya said, "The simplest way is to suffocate them. Without air and elements, no living thing can survive for too long!"

"That's what I'm going to do in the future. Right now, we have simpler things to do!" Zhou Ren said, preparing to continue reusing the previous water and lava system.

The water can quickly wash the iron golems down to a place with lava, and then a sign is placed below the lava, and a hopper is placed directly below the sign.

According to the item drop rules, the items dropped by the iron golem will form below its body, which happens to avoid the destructive effect of the lava, and the sign next to the lava prevents the lava from spreading.

This allows it to only harm the iron golem, and the items that eventually fall will be directly collected by the hopper below the sign, thereby achieving a perfect resource utilization cycle.

This is almost the same as the mob grinder, the only difference may be the spawning method of the iron golems.

Zhou Ren didn't continue to prepare, but came directly to the top of this area, and then circled a few platforms with stones.

"Help me build all these platforms. I'll go find some villagers and zombies!"

Of course, finding them isn't for sightseeing, it's for work. He quickly assigned tasks to the two girls. Anyway, it's not difficult, it's just using their abilities to build blocks. Besides being a little boring, there's nothing too difficult about it.

After saying this, he jumped directly from the sky. The villagers were transported to the underground below their location via underground rails.

But the zombies haven't been found yet. He has to go to the mob grinder to find a lucky zombie to become the supervisor of the future villagers, urging them to constantly summon iron golems.

The transportation method is of course the most common rail transportation. This isn't a game, he wouldn't risk his life to go boating, that would be too much of a loss.

However, since he's going to transport a zombie, and needs to transport it to such a special location, he must set up the track in advance. At the same time, this kind of track is a little different from the tracks he usually makes.

Due to the characteristics of MC, his character won't get wet from the rain, so he can directly build open-air tracks, but when zombies encounter the sun, they will be burned by flames, which will make his plan fall short, so when making this kind of transportation track, he has to specially seal the top.

The way to get the zombies to urge the villagers to summon iron golems is very simple. He only needs to make a track that the zombie can slide on at any time, and let the zombie slide back and forth on it to activate all the villagers.

"Why is the mob grinder so lively today? Jim, what are you guys looking at?" Zhou Ren was a little surprised to find that the mob grinder, which usually doesn't have many people, was very lively today. Seven or eight skeletons were surrounding the entrance of the mob grinder, seemingly absorbing the experience points inside.

After hearing Zhou Ren's voice, the skeletons quickly dispersed, like children caught red-handed.

He couldn't help but feel curious, and poked his head out from the entrance of the mob grinder, seeing several skeletons with snow-white bones inside.

Connected to Jim's soul, he immediately understood what these skeletons were thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Just like humans like to look at beautiful women, skeletons of course also like to look at skeletons. These skeletons seemed unexpectedly beautiful in their aesthetics, so everyone kept looking.

He left the mob grinder somewhat helplessly. Let them watch if they want to. He probably can't control these little guys anyway.

He returned to the area where the zombie villagers were previously imprisoned. There were only skeletons in the mob grinder, but none had fallen down and died. If there weren't any zombies that had fallen and died, he wouldn't bother to dismantle the mob grinder.

Because he knew there were still zombies, which were the extra zombie villagers he had captured when he captured the zombie villagers earlier.

It was very simple to move these guys. Each zombie villager was locked in a door. He slowly built the track to the door, and then suddenly opened the wooden door.

After sensing the information of a living person, the zombie suddenly came to life, cautiously looking at the door. Even after seeing Zhou Ren, he didn't act rashly. This zombie seemed a little special.

"Then never mind!" Zhou Ren wouldn't indulge him. He wasn't some kind of research fanatic who would keep the zombie because of its specialness. He went up and chopped off the other party's dog head with a knife.

"Next!" he said, and walked to another wooden door, laid the track over, and placed a minecart at the door.

This time, the zombie villager was much more sensible. He ran out directly, got into the minecart, and then he gently shook it, pushing the minecart forward.

After the track was completed, it was very simple to transport the zombie. He only needed to sit in a minecart and follow behind. When the zombie stopped, a gentle push from behind could solve most of the problems.

As for other problems, he, the master, didn't need to solve them. When the zombie ran to the designated track, the detector rail set up there at the beginning would suddenly stop, fixing the zombie there, while the two girls beside him were already prepared to put the stones on it.

Just simply seal the top of the place where the zombie lives, and then flip the switch next to it to restart the rail under him, and the zombie will keep swaying in this area.

At this moment, the villagers underfoot seemed a little restless. They also felt the threat above their heads, and then an iron golem instantly spawned, revealing itself in front of them.

"It really can appear like this!" Anna was stunned. She naturally still held a reserved attitude towards the appearance of monsters. She always felt that Zhou Ren made them through the MC system, and then made up a reason to fool them. She didn't expect that spawning was actually real.

However, before they could finalize their solution, these newly spawned iron golems were proving to be a nuisance. If not properly addressed, they could negatively impact their future endeavors.

But since these lumbering giants had already appeared during the last war, they now had their own methods for dealing with them.

Anna immediately rushed to handle the golems, while Zhou Ren didn't idle. He and Xi Ya simultaneously laid down railway tracks, intending to encircle the entire village and transport all the villagers to their respective positions. Since the villagers wouldn't die unexpectedly or be struck by stray lightning, this setup should last for quite some time.

With the zombies already in place, relocating the villagers became much simpler. Zhou Ren barely needed to lift a finger. Once the tracks were laid, the villagers, filled with curiosity, eagerly boarded the minecarts one by one and were transported to different locations.

This was an interesting arrangement. Villagers were positioned at equal distances around the zombies, right at the maximum range of the zombies' influence. This expanded area would trigger the spawning of even more iron golems.

He implemented a clever setting. After the villagers' minecarts reached their destinations, they would be automatically ejected, and the villagers would be locked into that area, unable to escape.

This solved the problem of having to manually hit each minecart and eliminated the risk of accidentally hitting the villagers.

With the zombies and villagers in place, and the villagers even setting up beds in peace, these big-nosed fellows stood there comfortably. Next, it was time to prepare the iron golems' living quarters.

Each villager's dwelling housed four villagers, and he prepared a total of eight such locations. This was just enough to create an iron golem spawning tower. This method of creating a spawning tower was much simpler compared to ordinary ones.

They only needed to create a platform directly above the villagers' heads and allow water to flow across it, using signs as barriers at the edges of the platform.

The advantage of this design was that once an iron golem spawned above them, it would immediately run to the top and be pushed by the water flow towards the signs. The last block of water would be blocked by the signs, preventing it from flowing down, while the pushing force of the water would be increased.

As for the iron golem processing platform they had just built, it was now put to use. The burning lava resembled a series of execution platforms, concentrating all the iron golems into the area below, slowly burning them to death.

These massive iron blocks were transformed into iron ingots by the lava. By the time they had completed the entire iron farm area, the chest below already contained nearly a stack of iron ingots, which was quite efficient.

"The efficiency is not bad!" Even though he knew his speed wasn't particularly fast, Zhou Ren nodded with satisfaction.

Whether it was spending time crafting firearms or building the iron farm, it was all preparation for future resource scarcity. Until the underground minerals were completely depleted, they didn't really need to worry about the current lack of minerals.

Meanwhile, the potion-making equipment they had collected from the Nether had been fully operational, producing all kinds of potions that were now displayed on the shelves.

Compared to ordinary-priced food, low-priced equipment, and expensive magical items, these potions, like enchantments, were beyond the reach of ordinary people, priced as high as tea.

However, these potions weren't for them, but for the future races, just like the villager trading platform he was about to build.

"What's this again?" Anna asked. She had been teasing the big guys but noticed Zhou Ren had quietly slipped away, so she quickly followed him.

Zhou Ren returned to the underground, starting from the same point. Their transport distance was much shorter than the previous location. This time, they would transport directly to the top floor of the trading platform, which had been divided into small compartments. Once each villager resided inside, they would fit snugly, except for the bed behind them.

Since the villagers didn't need to sleep, the bed behind them was only to fix their position. They would sleep on the bed at night and suddenly wake up during the day, perfectly positioned in front of the bed, while the blocks in front of them would be directly replaced with various profession blocks.

"The villagers will continue to breed baby villagers, and the baby villagers will follow the water flow all the way down to this area!" Zhou Ren explained the purpose of this special separation device.

The quality of the effect was actually formed through redstone. All the baby villagers would be transported away by minecarts the moment they came down, and then, with the help of the redstone tracks, they would enter the trading platforms one by one in order.

Once a villager entered a trading platform, its track would be locked, and the space inside would be completely closed, so there was no need to worry about the previous problems with the villagers.

After all, the departure of villagers was always a big problem. If this wasn't properly resolved, they probably wouldn't be able to proceed with the next step.

Soon, all the villagers were in place. That's why they spent a lot of villagers to build the iron farm before, and now there were only a few villagers here. However, this device wasn't difficult to build.

The three of them completed it in just half a day. During that time, two baby villagers had already been transported into the trading platform, revealing their tiny heads.

"In a few days, all the villagers should be in place, and we can start trading with them!" Zhou Ren said. Although the villagers wouldn't offer mod items or provide Edelman alloy equipment, with the upgrade of a large number of different materials, they would eventually provide huge amounts of enchanted iron armor and enchanted diamond equipment.

Compared to the ordinary equipment they usually made, these equipment were not only huge in quantity but also never exhausted, and some enchantments were much better than the things they enchanted themselves, so why not?

Everyone was very fast. Before dark, the trading platform had been completely successful, and a track behind would continue to the entire trading platform until it was full.

"Let's go!" Zhou Ren said, taking both of their hands, "We should be able to have a good rest for two days!"
