##DONE## Yes, it is indeed the Mount & Blade Map Editor.

It's a map editor that allows for free editing of various environmental and architectural models within Mount & Blade maps to achieve the designer's desired outcome.

"This one mu of Wheat Field that's appearing before me now, does that mean it can be built within these apartment rooms!?"

Shen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Looking at this so-called one mu of Wheat Field, he could stretch it arbitrarily according to his own ideas, changing it into any pattern he wished.

Lost in thought, Shen Mu ultimately extended this one mu of Wheat Field to connect nearly 20 apartment rooms on the Seventh Floor Apartment.

Furthermore, within these rooms, he could remove all non-load-bearing walls according to his ideas.

Leaving only the Load-bearing Walls and Load-bearing Columns.

Everything else, whether it was decorative walls, partition walls, or even toilets, could be erased.

Completely transforming them into fields where wheat could grow!

"Not only that, but it can even fill the areas of the Security Doors with all the erased walls, cement, and reinforced concrete. This way, even if someone can open the door, they won't be greeted by the previous apartment room, but by a real wall!"

Thoughts churned in Shen Mu's mind.

After casually designing and integrating content from many Official DLCs and Fan-made MODs of Mount & Blade.

Shen Mu found that even he couldn't fully understand the entirety of the Mount & Blade System!

"This really brought me a surprise." Shen Mu made a decision in his heart: "Then let's proceed like this."

Buzz! A mysterious power descended.

From Shen Mu's brow, streams of data began to surge outwards, directly transforming into countless data chains in mid-air.

Then they seeped into the surrounding reinforced concrete.

Stirring half of the apartment floor as if the world was turning upside down!

At this moment, Shen Mu felt as if he had a third-person perspective.

He watched as the data streams, according to the ideas in his mind, began to dismantle the reinforced concrete, then transferred these dismantled materials to the direction of the Security Doors, solidifying into sturdy walls again.

Apartment rooms were quickly being connected, and aside from the neatly arranged main Load-bearing Walls and Load-bearing Columns, the space had been connected into a whole.

It was just like how the apartment building looked when it was first built, before the partition walls were installed!

"Very good, these apartment rooms have all been connected. Now, it's time to lay the soil."

Shen Mu's thoughts stirred slightly.

Then, on the ground of the entire 20 apartment rooms that had been completely connected, streams of data began to emerge.

When the white light dissipated and the data streams disappeared.

The ground, which was originally covered with either tiles or wooden flooring, was now completely covered by a layer of soil about thirty to forty centimeters thick.

And as more data streams began to spread across the soil, sturdy, dense, and already eared wheat full of grains began to appear on the soil.

Row by row, clump by clump, patch by patch.

The entire one mu of wheat, connecting 20 apartments, appeared in these rooms as the Wheat Field finished unfolding.

Ding! Your 1 mu of Wheat Field has finished unfolding. Please check the relevant information yourself.

A dialogue box appeared before Shen Mu's eyes.

He had exited the third-person perspective.

"Is this the Wheat Field granted by the Mount & Blade System!?" Shen Mu was still standing in his own room, completely stunned.

Beside him, the Swadian Militia who had finished moving things and were resting on the ground, had also gathered around at this moment.

Looking at the continuous stretch of Wheat Field in the room, and the dense wheat.

Surprise appeared on each of their faces.

"This wheat is growing really well! And it can be harvested now!"

"Look at this soil! It's truly fertile!"

"This reminds me of the farms on the Suno Plain, only there is the land so fertile and the wheat so healthy!"

"This is a harvest!"

These Swadian Militia were all farmers who had transitioned into soldiers, so of course they could tell the quality of the wheat.

Or rather, these militia had not completely left production.

In normal times, when there was no war and no need for patrol duty, these Swadian Militia were farmers.

But as soon as the trumpet of war sounded and enemies were discovered.

These Swadian Militia would immediately pick up their weapons and throw themselves into battle.

The Kingdom of Swadia, as the number one power in the world of Mount & Blade: Warband.

and having the strongest heavy cavalry, the Swadian Knights, who are practically invincible in field battles.

But it's also related to the fact that other troop types still have good functionality.

And the Swadian Militia.

As the most basic Tier 2 troop, they have two upgrade paths.

One is the melee-focused Swadian Footman.

The other is the ranged Swadian Skirmisher.

This is enough to show that the Swadian Militia, the most basic troop type in the Kingdom of Swadia, has good potential for development.

"Alright, your task now is to harvest the wheat." Shen Mu looked at the lush wheat field, a smile appearing on his face.

He turned to the 15 Swadian Militia beside him and instructed, "We'll eat lunch first. In the afternoon, we'll try to harvest all this wheat before sunset. Then tonight, we'll have the freshest wheat porridge!"

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Shen Mu!" The Swadian Militia also smiled.

Although they would definitely be tired in the afternoon, they were quite happy to see so much wheat about to be harvested by them, being from a farming background.

Especially after learning that they didn't need to pay taxes to those high and mighty nobles in this world.

Doesn't that mean all the wheat they harvest can go into their own bellies?

This was something that made them happy just thinking about it!

"It's not bad coming to a world like this." Some Swadian Militia were quietly chatting while eating.

"That's right, Lord Shen Mu is also a benevolent lord. He's like a very noble gentleman from the city." Another Swadian Militia sighed with emotion.

They had all come to this world to make a living.

They originally thought it would be no different from Calradia.

But after coming here and seeing this absurd, never-before-seen world that shocked them.

They realized that following Lord Shen Mu seemed to be an extremely correct choice.

After all.

They were all living, breathing people who wanted to pursue a better life!

Apartment, Fifth Floor.

Liu Na was sitting among a pile of green plants, meditating with her eyes closed.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, adding a touch of pity to her pale face, which lacked sunlight.

Several Halflings, about 1.5 meters tall, covered in fur but with human facial features, looking relatively kind and friendly, were rolling up their sleeves and carefully planting potted plants.

They were all common flowers like roses and monthly roses, blooming together among small-leaved trees, looking quite well-cultivated.

Halflings were originally skilled Spiritual Realm races, adept at making delicious food and small handicrafts.

These Halflings were willing to put in the effort to arrange these potted plants so that Liu Na's Druid profession could break through.

"Sigh, failed again." But Liu Na opened her eyes at this moment, a hint of frustration on her small face.

"Miss Liu Na, don't worry, becoming a professional isn't that easy." An older Halfling noticed Liu Na waking up, so he brought over a cup of green tea and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Mr. Polo." Liu Na took the cup of green tea, her frustration slightly receding.

"The rules of this world themselves don't meet the requirements for professionals, and they've already been polluted by Necromantic Rules. It's really hard to achieve a breakthrough."

This Halfling named Mr. Polo sat on a low stool, also holding a cup of green tea and drinking it.

He gently savored the taste of the green tea, his tone a little regretful: "This is high-quality green tea, but unfortunately, as I said, it's just an ordinary product of this world and doesn't have the magical effects of our Spiritual Realm. Otherwise, Miss Liu Na, you should have already reached Level 2 Druid."

"Yes," Liu Na nodded silently.

"If we can find a piece of land that hasn't been polluted by Necromantic Rules, perhaps you can upgrade."

Mr. Polo subconsciously comforted her.

But his tone paused.

He looked out the window at the somewhat gloomy sky, even during the day.

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

In this world.

Where could there be land that hasn't been polluted by Necromantic Rules?
