The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 47 Let the Villagers Fly!

"You all stay on the perimeter, find a spot where the villagers won't notice, and surround the entire village. If you follow me in, it's easy to cause unnecessary conflict."

Su He gave instructions to Number One and the Drowned Corpse King.

Zombie Number One and Drowned King nodded upon receiving the order, and then led their monster minions to carry out the arrangements.

"These villagers all seem normal. They all naturally spawned in my territory and shouldn't have any connection with that so-called Villager Kingdom."

Su He stroked his chin, not in a hurry to enter the village immediately.

He waited quietly for his monster subordinates to complete the encirclement before stepping towards the village.

The village in front of me is not much different from the village in my Minecraft memories, except that it is slightly larger than a normal village.

Upon entering the village, Su He did not immediately ransack the villagers' houses as he did in the game.

There are two reasons not to do this:

Firstly, Suhe no longer needs the resources in the village chests;

Secondly, as the beacon level increases, the intelligence of the MC creatures also increases. If he offends the villagers over trivial matters, his plan to win them over will become much more complicated.

After all, the only resource he truly needed was these villagers in front of him.

No matter what Su He does after winning over the villagers, he first needs to make them emotionally willing to follow him.

Once all these villagers are brought back to the base, it will be much easier to do anything shady afterward.

The first villager Suhe approached was a farmer.

Farmers can only exchange for ordinary food; there are no special items.

Villagers in this profession mainly purchase crops such as wheat and carrots.

After Su He traded emeralds with this farmer about four times, he could no longer trade emeralds and had to wait for the villager to restock and refresh the inventory.

"Hmm~"

The farmer was very satisfied with the transaction. In addition to making the characteristic nasal sound of a villager, he also handed Su He an apple.

"Is this... for me?"

Su He was quite surprised by the farmer's actions. After taking the apple, he carefully examined the information on the farmer's panel.

[Biology: Villagers]

[Level: 4]

Occupation: Farmer

[Qualification: Low]

[Health Volume: 200/200]

"Although he's just an ordinary low-ranking villager, his personality is surprisingly good. He even gave me an apple as a gift after the transaction."

After putting the apple into his backpack, Su He silently made a note of the farmer.

The plan is to give it a good treatment once the villagers are brought back to the base.

The farmer, who had already returned to his farm work, was unaware that by simply giving away an apple, he had changed the future of himself and many other villagers with lower qualifications.

Normally, Su He wouldn't even give these ordinary, low-ranking villagers a second glance.

In his plan, these lower-class villagers would be involved in village breeding machines, iron brushing machines, and village trading stations.

In order not to affect the mentality of other highly qualified villagers, these facilities are sometimes placed in hidden, dark, and sunless places, such as deep underground.

And this farmer villager, relying on just one apple, luckily changed his fate.

It was this apple that made Su He realize something.

These villagers should not be classified into different levels based solely on their qualifications.

Villagers are different from ordinary monsters. Su He's purpose in gathering these villagers is not to have them fight for him.

The greatest use these villagers are for him is that they constantly generate large amounts of emeralds, which he can then exchange for rare items with the wandering merchants who appear from time to time.

This has nothing to do with the villagers' qualifications.

The villagers' qualifications only affect their strength, wisdom, and talent; they do not change the goods they sell.

Even if a villager has low qualifications, the goods they sell will still be of good quality.

No matter how qualified a heartless villager is, he will still be hanged on a street lamp as a black-hearted merchant.

For villagers with average qualifications but reasonable trading prices, he could easily arrange comfortable accommodations for them and farm a large number of emeralds through trading with them.

Some villagers are highly skilled, but they are particularly unscrupulous in their dealings. No matter how talented such villagers are, they lose their greatest value to one's own interests.

Leaving the conscientious villagers for long-term transactions and throwing the unscrupulous villagers into the production machine is the approach that best serves Su He's own interests.

It can also be used as a warning to new villagers, setting rules for them from a young age so that they will grow up to be honest and conscientious villagers and not dare to become unscrupulous businessmen.

While the idea may sound a bit cruel, in the eyes of the players, this approach is already quite merciful.

Su He wandered around the village, and when he encountered villagers with jobs, he would approach them one by one to make a transaction.

His method of distinguishing between conscientious villagers and heartless villagers was also quite direct.

Villagers with a conscience can move freely in the village, while those with a bad heart will be loaded onto boats for later disposal at the base.

When he couldn't find any villagers to trade with, Su He would deliberately go into their homes, rummage through their boxes in front of them, and secretly observe their emotional changes.

The result was exactly as he had expected: the villagers with high aptitude showed obvious dissatisfaction, while those with low aptitude were quite dull.

Even when he took the contents of the box in front of the villagers, they didn't react at all.

In comparison, the high-caliber villagers' standing in Su He's mind began to waver slightly.

Villagers with lower qualifications are clearly easier to control and manipulate than those with higher qualifications.

The things that highly qualified villagers can do are not much different from those that are less qualified, but their cleverness creates a lot of instability and hidden dangers.

Just like the villager with exceptional talent standing in front of Su He right now.

Just because Su He barged into the house without permission, she angrily tried to kick him out and refused to do any business with him.

After a while, when this villager was willing to trade with Su He, the goods sold by the highly qualified villagers would be priced up on the spot, even to an absurd degree.

Looking at the villager's trading interface, which listed an exorbitant price of forty fish for one emerald, Su He naturally wouldn't tolerate it.

He immediately used four rails, along with a few redstone rails and some blocks, to build a simple Minecraft launcher, which sent the villager flying into the sky.

However, this incident did not cause Su He to give up on the highly qualified villagers.

After all, high-quality beings have other special characteristics besides differences in intelligence.

For example, a unique talent like the Drowned King...

After releasing the villager who had breathed on him, Su He dismantled the makeshift catapult he had just set up and put it into his backpack.

Just as Su He finished packing up and was about to go find the other villagers, a slightly dazed voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hehe, what is this...? It's so fun!"
