MC's career as foreign lord

“So many kinds of food?” Even after being sufficiently surprised, they were still astonished.

Before them was a row of smelters and even more kitchen utensils. Several halfling chefs stood there smiling, waiting for them to order.

Compared to dwarves, gnomes, humans, and elves, halflings were more easily immersed in the beauty of food. They actively applied for these kitchen jobs and successfully passed the assessment.

Now, they could use all kinds of ingredients to make many foods and dishes, which were at least more diverse than those in the kingdoms on the continent.

Of course, the brand-new Panmass Farm was still under construction, so they hadn't had access to the latest ingredients. These halflings would occasionally run to the farm to watch the construction of the new farm and try to touch the newly exchanged seeds with their fingers.

They also knew how to plant the seeds. They estimated that these seeds needed to be planted for seven or eight rounds, which meant that they would have a small amount of ingredients to work with in about one or two weeks. For now, they could only use the previous ingredients as substitutes.

The good news was that after the brand-new kitchen utensils appeared, they had already discovered this. After Zhou Ren's permission, they were able to make many great foods with their existing ingredients.

What the three of them were seeing now was such a real-life scene. Whether it was bean paste mashed potatoes or some special cream soups, they all became items on their menu.

“Why are there two different prices, Standard Version and Wealth Version?” They discovered another problem, which naturally caused some confusion.

“Distinguished guests may not know, the Standard Version is food without magic, while the Wealth Version is grown next to the Tree of Life and irrigated with water containing magic. It also produces crops with magical fruits, so of course, it’s a bit more expensive!”

The waiter next to them explained, also clarifying the situation for everyone else nearby.

“Oh!” The two seemed to nod thoughtfully, then stopped asking. This curious baby-like manner was indeed a bit embarrassing.

They unhesitatingly chose the magical food. As mages, if they couldn't afford this little bit of money, it would indeed be too embarrassing.

“Hmm!” Compared to Heris, who was now eating his food slowly and leisurely, these two did look a little less elegant.

But no one laughed at them. When they first ate this rushing magic element, even food filled with a large amount of magic, they could feel the ultimate happiness in their mouths.

This sense of happiness was very unique and very strong. The special feeling of magic rolling in the body, the special impression brought about by the perception of the world, and the violent elements that made the whole body tremble.

These special perceptions brought them an extraordinary and special sensory experience. The two seemed to have come to the stage of destiny promotion again, wandering and circulating in the ocean filled with endless elements.

When they looked up again, it was as if they had traveled around the elemental world. If they stayed in such an environment for a long time and ate these foods for a long time, they felt that they were not far from the next stage of legend.

“Doesn’t it feel very shocking?” Heris said with a smile, looking at the two who raised their heads in shock.

When he first ate this kind of thing, he had almost the same reaction as the two of them. Now, seeing others being the same as him, he was certainly very happy, indicating that his reaction was not an isolated case.

When he first ate this food, the first thing he thought about was whether he could buy them all and then monopolize them by his own country.

They had been doing this all the time. After all, as the wealthiest country, their Rhine Kingdom had wealth and terrifying experiences that people all over the world could hardly imagine. If they really spent it, they could even hire a legendary legion.

However, no one would do this, because wealth should not be exposed. If they really showed the world that they had such huge wealth, they would be harvested in the next moment.

So, the second thing he thought of was to talk to the lord of this territory, whether he could simply obtain the sales rights of these foods, or rather, food products.

Compared to those who like to wander around the continent, do various businesses, and be able to negotiate many different products, which can then be sold to the entire continent, creating their own exclusive trade chain, and also maintaining good organizational forces with all countries in the world, there are not many.

Most countries have enemies, and only the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, which is neutral most of the time, has almost no enemies.

Even so, they are irreconcilable with the demons and maintain a cautious trading relationship with certain dark countries.

However, compared to these sects that wander around the continent and absorb personnel to build their own forces, basically all the residents of all races and countries live in their own territories.

Of course, they do not have particularly strong or intense purchasing desires, but they have a terrifying foundation that ordinary people can hardly match. These nobles, or rather local tycoons, all over the continent often hide many years of wealth accumulated by their ancestors in their homes. This wealth accompanies their current power accumulation and will continue to accumulate in the future.

This is why most races have not changed, and the progress of the entire continent is not very perfect. Their high-level nobles control money, land, people, and power.

They control everything, allowing them to sit on their laurels and enjoy themselves instead of developing the entire country to shape the future.

This also means that most businessmen, as long as they sell things here, can make a lot of money. As long as they transport things from other regions, these local tycoons will squander their money to satisfy their desires.

And the profits that merchants can earn from this will be very terrifying.

This is why he wants to do this business. As long as he can make good use of this information and truly implement it, he can spread the products of this territory throughout the continent in the next few years.

How much production can a territory have? Even if they turn the entire territory into farms, pastures, or breeding areas, it will only meet the needs of a few countries at most, but their market is the entire continent. They can completely create auctions in other regions and continue to sell these things.

However, the Rhine Kingdom is not a particularly powerful nation. If they really want to sell with all their might, they will likely face strong opposition and resistance from other forces.

So he was also thinking about whether to find some helpers. These two bumpkins from the Magic Kingdom in front of him seemed like good choices.

But he wasn't in a hurry now. These two hadn't even been to the market yet. Even if he expressed his intention to cooperate, the answer he would get would probably be ambiguous.

But the food here was indeed delicious. Even though his mind wasn't on it, he still managed to eat three large bowls, finishing all the freshly made mashed potatoes and various thick soups. He even took an apple from the shelf.

This was not a restaurant for a specific race's territory, nor was it an employee restaurant, but a restaurant dedicated to the market.

Zhou Ren, who came from another world, clearly knew that although most of the things here were for sale, the products with the highest frequency and the most terrifying value were still food.

Because everyone has to eat. After eating the food here once, they wouldn't want to eat anything else. His own farm would also have another large batch of food appearing, which would naturally be even better.

At least one-third of everyone's wealth would be spent in this cafeteria, so he was even considering adding more floors to this cafeteria. However, according to the construction rules, 254 levels was a threshold.

But Anna had said that the sky here was as high as 5,000, so maybe he could extend it upwards by 1,000 floors and create a top-notch sky building.

But these were things for the future. The most important thing now was to sell the food and various products produced in their territory to this group of people.

After a few people had their fill, they came down from this building. This time, they didn't take the super-fast hydro-elevator from before, nor the special elevator that went straight down, but a regular elevator that clearly had water but was separated by various special means, and could go up and down.

This regular elevator took them down. Below the 20th floor were ordinary products or sales venues for various bulk goods, which were not the focus of their attention. The area above the 20th floor was the area for various special products.

Zhou Ren divided it very clearly. The products below the 20th floor might only be tainted with a little magic or a little special effect. In fact, they were still products of this world, mostly sold by various mercenaries, people of different races, and representatives of some major forces to sell their own products.

Their entire territory would not establish its own shops below the 20th floor, but the area above the 20th floor was completely different.

From the 20th floor to the 30th floor, each of these 10 floors sold a different item.

"Starting from the 21st floor and going up, there are 10 different items for sale!" Horace explained to the two mages beside him.

"Oh, are they so confident that the goods on each floor can impress people?" Angie said.

As a legendary mage who became a legend at the age of 20, his ambitions were naturally very high. Even if the things just now were indeed wonderful, they still couldn't support the operation of the entire territory.

"Of course they can. The product on the 21st floor is the books and paper they sell. These things are almost always sold out as soon as they arrive. Some of the newly arrived people from the great empires, even including the people from the Elf Empire, are guarding here, just waiting for them to release the goods!" Horace said.

He had a strange expression on his face. "I don't understand what they are selling that would make those long-eared people frantically搶购. They are clearly just some parchment-like books!"

"Let's go take a look!" The old mage was more clear-headed. Kadrin quickly stepped forward and saw the samples displayed on the shelves. There weren't many samples. Besides an enchanted book, an ordinary book, a book with a pen, and a piece of paper, there was nothing else.

Oh right, above these things, there was also a very unique map hanging.

"Purchase paper to redeem a map on the 31st floor of the territory!" They read the words above and curiously stretched their faces forward, then shockingly discovered that it was a map that marked the entire territory in detail, with all the mountains, rivers, lakes, grasslands, pastures, farms, and buildings clearly marked.

"All the items in your area can be marked and drawn. With a map, you will never get lost again!" They read the words above. The three of them were all high-level members of the kingdom, so they naturally understood the meaning behind it. This was not a map that would be used when getting lost, but a war map!

The few people immediately understood the meaning of these people buying paper. If they had such a map, they could travel across the continent and obtain a very detailed map of the entire continent, and then piece it together.

"If the map is so interesting, I'm afraid the other things should also have these meanings, right?" They said, so they continued to move forward and saw the compass and the magic scrolls that could be made with paper.

"This price for making magic scrolls?" Looking at the low and even ridiculous price above, everyone was stunned. Even in the cheapest magic kingdom, the price of a magic scroll was as high as several gold coins.

And here, 1 experience gold coin could buy a full 2,000 sheets of paper. No, it shouldn't be said 2,000 sheets of paper. In fact, it was a thick book.

This book had a full 2,000 pages, and each page could be engraved with a magic spell. If you really engraved a whole book, it would mean that you would have a terrifying magic book that could be used 2,000 times, which was almost equivalent to a pirated Book of Myriad Laws!

The price of these books was ridiculously low. Even if the production rate was not high, they were still swept away here.

Unlike an ordinary scroll, the magic on these books can be directly engraved using special methods, without them having to meditate and ponder themselves.

"Hiss! Teacher, we must notify the Magic Kingdom as soon as possible. If we are slow, it will be terrible if other countries take the lead!" Angie said quickly, but saw that her teacher had already taken out a scroll and torn it apart, revealing the figure inside.

He couldn't help but admire him. This was Grand Mage Lancelot of the Kaelan Magic Kingdom, the Speaker of the Mages' Council!
