MC's career as foreign lord

“Wow! There's already this much stuff?” Even though he was somewhat prepared, he was still surprised to see so many monster drops.

Another week had passed, and after a short rest, everyone in the territory was still working at a high-speed, spinning rate.

Especially under the influence of the rich magical elements, many people didn't feel tired at all; they could only feel their own realm improving rapidly.

This feeling was often very wonderful and very singular, but when everyone's realm was improving, it meant that this matter had become truly real.

Especially when Zhou Ren liked to reward diligent workers with money or other items, their enthusiasm for work became even greater.

In this special environment, not working hard became an anomaly, while those who worked diligently, under the guidance of a particularly strong spirit, promoted their ranks step by step.

At this time, anyone in the territory with a bit of aptitude had become a beginner-level professional, and other mercenaries, various residents, and people of different races who already possessed professional qualifications had also made considerable progress.

“We still need people!” They stood at the highest point of the territory, Zhou Ren said with some helplessness in his voice.

“You don't have to worry about that, Master. The team we sent to the Underdark has sent back a message. Using an elven manuscript, they told us that they have found another tribe in the Underworld!” Mosa said.

This news was undoubtedly inspiring, and Zhou Ren quickly asked, “Then what kind of team is this?”

“There are still many liches and undead, and of course, many underground-exclusive creatures, and even a high elf tribe that has strayed into the underground for many years!” Mosa said, a statement that clearly caught the attention of several people.

Even Princess Shia couldn't help but look up. All matters related to the elven race were the focus of this princess.

“A high elf tribe? A team that can exist in the form of a tribe must be at least tens of thousands of years old!” she said, with a slightly uncertain tone, “How could such a team appear in the Underdark?”

“Appearing with them are also another tribe of underground dwarves and gnomes,” Mosa continued, “but those special races that you arranged for me to pay attention to have not appeared in the underground, and without exception, all psionic races are evil!”

“It's okay!” Zhou Ren shook his head, “Thank those who took such a big risk to go underground to search for me! Your little apprentice, Sandru, also deserves an enchanted book as a reward!”

The rules that allow the territory to continue operating must be clear in rewarding and punishing.

If even this cannot be achieved, who will risk their lives for you?

Zhou Ren thought about this very clearly, and he would not be stingy with his rewards. Legendary powerhouses would receive the equipment, potions, and various books they needed, and ordinary characters could also obtain enough money and magical creations. Only through everyone's cooperation could everything be accomplished.

Then he turned his attention back to the monster drops that filled a warehouse. Even he himself might not have imagined that after building a monster-spawning tower for a month, he would be fortunate enough to see the current scene.

The underground space dug by the skeletons was indeed very useful. They could build underground, with stricter and more seamless rules than on the ground. The simplest method could cover everything.

Through transmission links and various boxes, including redstone mechanisms, they ensured that all transmissions were regular, so they could take out all the materials from above in the boxes at the very bottom.

And the place where they were now was the very bottom of the entire storage warehouse. The place similar to the final passage did not have too many boxes, but all kinds of items were sorted and placed in a row.

If this place was full, the hoppers above would automatically transmit everything down to ensure true automation.

It was a pity that the villagers' trading method was different from that of the piglins. If it were piglins, you only needed to drop gold, and they would automatically exchange a series of items with you. This exchange could be completed by pure hoppers.

As long as you catch a piglin, keep throwing gold at it, and then keep receiving some of the things it throws out, you can achieve a thorough exchange of materials.

Unfortunately, this method can only be used on piglins. The exchange with ordinary villagers must be done by living beings, and this method is useless.

So he was now thinking about building a trading pipeline leading to the market here, where they could acquire the resources in the pipeline at a certain cost and then trade with the villagers.

Then he felt that his approach seemed a bit redundant. In fact, it might not be so troublesome, because the people who trade with the villagers obtain their resources themselves.

And the managers of their territory only need to bring two more backpacks, and then specially go to the villagers to exchange for a large wave of items, at most, just take the rails a few more times.

He couldn't disrupt the market's trading system for his own convenience. He thought about it and decided not to do it, but instead called Mosa, “Let's refresh the villagers' trading system!”

The villager trading system in this version is a bit complicated, because the new version of villagers has many, many professions: farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, priests, librarians, etc.!

Each villager has their own unique exchange method and the work block they need. For example, armorers need blast furnaces, butchers need smokers, cartographers need cartography tables, priests need brewing stands, and so on.

Only after having these separate work blocks can they successfully become their own profession and then obtain a special exchange system.

Of course, there is a type of villager that cannot be exchanged, and that is the nitwit. Nitwits cannot interact with work blocks, nor can they change jobs. They will only occupy a villager's spot and then be killed by some players who find them unpleasant.

However, for players, the most important villagers to exchange with are generally farmers, priests, and librarians.

Because the things they trade are the easiest to obtain in quantity, such as the rotten flesh needed for priest exchanges, the various plant products needed for farmer exchanges, and the paper needed by cartographers or librarians.

And these villagers have a very special property: if you hold emeralds in your hand and exchange with them, they will take out what they have to show the player.

Of course, regardless of how it's displayed, if you want to trade, you still need to open their panel and initiate the exchange.

Due to the scarcity of emeralds, people generally use various plant products to trade with the villagers, but they don't use emeralds to buy the farmers' produce.

After all, these villagers, every single one of them, are shrewd merchants. If it weren't for the abundance of resources in their hands, probably not many people would be willing to trade with them. However, their trades might yield some exceptionally good items, which are worth anticipating, such as the armor merchant's various armors.

It takes dozens of food items to exchange for a single emerald, and exchanging for a set of diamond armor from the armor merchant would cost about two stacks of emeralds, which seems like a significant price at first glance.

But to put it another way, their plants mature in just one day. The entire tower produces hundreds, even thousands, of plants every day. If they build a few more towers, they could produce several boxes, or even several storage drawers, of food every day.

Even if the people in the territory ate to their heart's content, they couldn't finish all this food. The wheat produced in a single day is enough for thousands of people to have a meal.

And all the food from an entire planting tower will have a lot of surplus every day. Taking them to exchange for emeralds can be considered a form of waste utilization, isn't it?

Moreover, the priest can also exchange rotten flesh. Those excess rotten flesh are completely useless. The rotten flesh that drops every day can be used to exchange for emeralds, and then exchanged for other good things, such as various enchanted books, different types of plant seeds, and even various armors and equipment.

The simplest, of course, are various enchanted tools. Now, most of the iron tools no longer need to be made by them. With emeralds, they can directly trade with the villagers.

Most of these exchanged tools are enchanted tools, possessing excellent working attributes and high value. At the same time, as long as there are enough emeralds, this kind of exchange is free.

This trading ability, as if bestowed by God, is the capital for the villagers to survive in this world. As long as they still have the ability to trade, players must protect their safety, no matter what.

"So much rotten flesh, can it be exchanged for almost a whole box of emeralds at once?" This exchange ratio is indeed a bit exaggerated. 32 rotten flesh can only be exchanged for one emerald, but their terrifying quantity can't be stopped.

Besides that, the librarian is also a good choice. You can use paper to exchange for emeralds with them. As for the quantity of paper, as much sugarcane as there is, there will be as much paper. He has already decided to find a tower in the entire territory to specialize in producing sugarcane, just like the cactus factory back then. This area will endlessly produce sugarcane and endlessly output sugarcane.

And after the sugarcane arrives in the box, it will all be turned into paper by the skeletons and exchanged for emeralds at the librarian. At the same time, the librarian will also specifically refresh some special books. If there are extra enchantments, that would be a great profit.

"Exchange these emeralds for diamond tools and armor in large quantities!" Zhou Ren said, "Except for specific enchantments, exchange all the others for vanilla diamond armor. We'll go directly to the Nether to find ancient debris and netherite ore!"

Compared to this world, where edman alloy is produced even less than diamonds, and mithril is more important for magical metal than for ordinary production metal, diamond is their highest-level armor.

The temporary upgrade equipment is also the strongest equipment in the original version, and netherite is also the best weapon, without distinction. They only need a certain amount of netherite ore, that is, ancient debris, to synthesize and directly smelt netherite.

One netherite can transform a diamond equipment into a netherite equipment. This cost performance is still quite high.

As long as they keep producing plants, planting sugarcane, and the mob tower keeps refreshing, their emerald quantity will often be maintained at a very terrifying level.

Two months is certainly not enough, especially since there is only half a month left before Dafeng disappears. But if he is given a year, he is confident that he can equip all his legions with diamond series equipment.

As for ancient metal and netherite, naturally, it is not so easy to obtain. The harsh environment from the Nether prevents more of their ideas. Moreover, the production of netherite requires the strong assistance of gold.

And the gold in their territory is not much to begin with. In order to make golden apples and other series of creations, the gold has already been spent almost. Didn't they just say before that they wanted to trade with the villagers of the Nether, that is, the piglins? Might as well do it now.

This time they are going to the Nether again, but this time the purpose is not to explore, nor is it to fight with the races inside. They found a strange forest where they can live for a long time, where there are not many monsters.

And this time, in order to speed up his construction pace, he even sent many skeletons to pick up leaves and many skeletons to dig sand, preparing to burn glass, while he himself took two skeletons and re-entered the portal.

He didn't bring anyone, because on the opposite side of this area, several elven druid elders were already ready.

They led a group of their subordinates, holding crossbows and various staves in their hands, waving rays of light to kill all the attacking piglins.

At this time, the city wall in this area has already been built. As long as there are no Nether bombers coming, they will be invincible and don't need to worry about anyone breaking through this area to come to them, so they guard it very comfortably.

Seeing Zhou Ren's arrival, several people surrounded him one after another, "Lord, why did you come alone?"

Zhou Ren smiled, "I'm here to find a new place to build a mob tower. You continue to be busy with yours!"

Since they want to make Nether devices, naturally all the devices in this world can be made all over again, such as the simplest piglin mob tower, and the slightly more difficult piglin trading platform.

Of course, there are also hoglin refreshing devices, as well as devices that can directly produce hoglin chops.

The appearance of this device means that the way to obtain meat and leather from the ranch is outdated. The constantly refreshing hoglins will be their main source of meat in the future.
