Technoblade Never Dies: A New Adventure

Chapter 18 - Prime Property

Technoblade was a wealthy farmer. He had a wheat field, potato field, carrot field, beetroot garden because beets were useless vegetables and a small melon and pumpkin patch. The only crop he did not manage to grow was the cocoa beans, as he had no idea where to get jungle logs to farm those pods.

However, his food situation was now under control. All three pigs made it to his slaughterhouse, and he fattened them enough to collect the quest reward.

Now that he had a saddle, Technoblade wanted a horse. But first, something was bothering him.

Although his animals lived in a slaughterhouse, that barn had undergone tremendous upgrades over the last few days. His farm animals were living more fancifully than he was. All Technoblade had was a miserable hole in the mountain that wasn't completely free from unwanted visitors.

"This won't do," he huffed. "I worked and toiled for this beautiful farm. Technically, I should be rich enough to afford a prime property with all these resources. Why am I still living in a hole?"

That's right. He was going to build a freaking house today, the best house of his young adult dream. He might not be a carpenter or architect, but he knew a thing or two about construction. More importantly, he was a master strategist.

"I'm going to build a fortress. Sort of."

The first thing Technoblade decided to collect was stone, lots of it. He'd also need plenty of charcoal to smelt all the cobblestone into stone and craft stone bricks out of those.

Technoblade hollowed out more of the mountain for the next few hours and started expanding his strip mines to gather more resources, including copper and iron. He ate when he was hungry, slept when he was tired and completely disregarded the day-night cycle until he had all the stone bricks he wanted.

By the time he had an entire double chest full of stone bricks and left his expanded mining base, Technoblade looked at the dark sky and groaned. Mobs started to spawn, and he retreated to the safety of the underground base, sleeping the night off.

With the morning sun protecting him from hostile enemies, Technoblade realised what was next on his list of things to do. He needed to build the first line of defence from those monsters and probably a second. Also, lighting up the territory was probably a good idea.

"Torches," he sighed. "We need torches for days, and that means charcoal."

Readying the axe in his hand, Technoblade walked towards his tree farm. After strip mining for so long, he had all the coal and iron he needed to make this building project less of a pain. Although building wasn't very much his thing whenever he played Minecraft because he enjoyed the stimulation of beating things up and causing chaos more, Technoblade knew his basics.

"One hundred trees!"

Two days passed.

"Five hundred charcoal!"

Three days passed.

"One thousand fences!"

Five days passed.

Slowly but surely, the place came together as Technoblade ate, worked and slept. His animals multiplied, his fields continued to yield great harvests, and Technoblade worked on outlining his territory. There was no such thing as too much space. However, the terrain he was in was slightly trickier to work with. Technoblade spent many good hours terraforming the place while the crafting workshop worked overtime for his orders. Chests overflowed so much that he had to put a new chest fortress outside his expanded mining base to fit everything.

However, the work paid off when he saw a good few acres of land fully lit and fenced. It took him nearly two weeks to clear out enough space, level the terrain into a gentler slope and allocate space for his sniping towers. As for the house...
