Chapter 293: Ha Wei Wants to Renegue

The undead creatures were ready to go, but the Great Sage was nowhere to be seen. Ha Wei hurriedly summoned an intelligent subordinate and asked: "Where is the Great Sage?"

"Busy harvesting," the subordinate replied.

"Harvesting? It's already Eternal Night and he's still not done? Did he run off somewhere to play?" Ha Wei asked puzzledly.

When he found the Great Sage, he finally understood why he hadn't finished harvesting—he had planted too much.

"What's going on? Why is there so much food? Did you go and catch people to farm? Planting so much? You've never been in favor of enslaving living things, right? How did you change your nature?" Ha Wei asked puzzledly.

"What kind of mess is this? No, it's still planted the same way as before. But what is this called? Right, organizational optimization, specialized personnel for specialized tasks, accountability for officers, and what else—more pay for more work, production incentives, and so on. Anyway, it's very complicated, but the enthusiasm of those living things is very high, and they accidentally planted too much. You came just in time."

Ha Wei was stunned. What did "you came just in time" mean?

"Come, come, come, help me harvest the crops in this farmland. It's just nightfall and the dew hasn't condensed yet. If it condenses, the rice will be soaked, and our hard work of the past few months will be in vain," the Great Sage pointed to the boundless farmland in front of him and said.

Ha Wei widened his eyes... oh, he didn't have eyes. He almost cracked his eye sockets, pointed to his own nostrils, and said in shock: "Me? Go harvest rice?"

"Right, only you can harvest all the rice before the dew condenses. Hurry up," the Great Sage urged.

"I, the dignified Undead King, Lord of Mourning, Purple Gold Skeleton Ha Wei, you want me to harvest rice? You..." Ha Wei said angrily.

The Great Sage narrowed his eyes, and dangerous light flickered in them: "I haven't slept for five months, busy back and forth, spending all my effort to plant these things. If the dew condenses, all my hard work will be in vain. If you let my hard work go in vain, I can make you have no peace."

Ha Wei shuddered all over and immediately patted his ribs and said: "No problem, leave it to me. Harvesting rice, it's a small matter."

But just after saying it, Ha Wei complained: "But even if I go to harvest, there's no way to harvest so much rice before the dew condenses. I don't know magic."

"No, Bai Yin Coin says you can. Bai Yin Coin, Bai Yin Coin, hurry over, teach Ha Wei how to harvest. If we don't hurry, the dew will rise. If the dew condenses, the rice will easily mold and rot. We don't have the conditions to dry it. If we pile it together for more than a month, I'm afraid it will all sprout. Hurry up and harvest it and move it to the cave, use convection wind to blow it."

A goblin trotted over, took off his hat first, and greeted politely: "Greetings, Lord Ha Wei."

Ha Wei glared at him angrily: "It's you goblin, talking nonsense that I can harvest rice, right?"

Bai Yin Coin hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't say you could harvest rice. I said, only the most powerful skeleton can harvest so much rice in a short time. So you are the most powerful skeleton here?"

*Eh? * This kind of talk sounds comfortable. The most powerful skeleton? Besides me, who else could there be?

Ha Wei patted his ribs: "That's right, I am the most powerful skeleton here. Speak, how can I harvest so much rice in a short time."

"Oh, it's like this. I've seen skeletons running through the gullies with their death scythes upside down, and the rice was cut down. Do you have a death scythe?" Bai Yin Coin asked with an innocent face.

If it were someone who didn't know Old Bai Yin Coin, they would really be easily deceived by his expression. Ha Wei laughed: "I not only have a Death Scythe, mine is also Mourning-level."

Ha Wei reached out and gripped the air, and a giant scythe appeared in his hand.

"How to hold it? How to hold it upside down? Is it okay if I let the golden skeletons under me harvest it? They also have death scythes," Ha Wei asked.

Before Bai Yin Coin could speak, the Great Sage said urgently: "Don't let those stupid bones into my field. If you let them harvest, they'll trample more than they cut. Wait until I train them for the next season. This time, you just help me harvest it first. Hurry up, it's too late."

Ha Wei sighed helplessly, held the scythe upside down, and ran into the field, running forward in small steps. Behind him, the rice fell to the ground.

Some intelligent undead creatures stood blankly by the field, watching their king run into the distance, one foot deep, one foot shallow, one foot in water, one foot in mud.

There was no way. Don't look at Ha Wei's level being higher than the Great Sage's, but the Great Sage was a wise man, managing the entire Land of Sinking, while he only knew how to chop, kill, and sleep. If the Great Sage stopped caring, the entire Land of Sinking would be in chaos.

And the Great Sage was very annoying. If his hard work really went in vain, for the next Eternal Night, he really wouldn't be able to sleep. He would mutter and mutter, and you wouldn't be able to find where he was.

Compared to that, what was the image of a mere king? Let alone harvesting, he wouldn't even mind transplanting rice seedlings.

Bai Yin Coin was right. The Death Scythe was a harvesting tool in Ha Wei's hands. He ran like the wind, never trampling any rice, yet could cut down the crops neatly.

The Great Sage directed those golden skeletons standing by the field and watching blankly to go down and gather the crops. They couldn't do the harvesting work, but they were competent at carrying big bags.

A group of undead creatures who were originally prepared to launch a war were driven into the farmland, one foot in water, one foot in mud.

The harvesting progress became very fast. In less than half an hour, Ha Wei had finished harvesting.

There were even more people carrying big bags. As soon as Ha Wei finished harvesting, everyone grabbed a bundle and carried it away.

One could see tens of thousands of skeletons and zombies each holding a few bundles of rice, arriving at the Central Mountains, handing them up to the mountain, and stuffing them into those airy caves.

Even if it was Eternal Night, there was an endless wind here, which would gradually blow all the rice dry.

"What's going on? You haven't said how you planted so much food. This food is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people. Are there so many living people here now?" Ha Wei shook the mud off his feet and asked.

"*Hehe*, let Bai Yin Coin tell you." The Great Sage looked at the food filling the mountain cave, his expression full of the joy of harvest, not even wanting to talk, just giggling there.

Ha Wei turned his gaze to Bai Yin Coin. Bai Yin Coin hurriedly stepped forward to salute and explained: "The production method here is relatively primitive, and the organizational ability is too weak to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the workers and exert advantages to improve production efficiency. I sorted it out, and the productivity exploded."

Ha Wei stood there for a long time before replying: "I understood every word you said, but when put together, I don't know what you're talking about. Give a few examples."

Bai Yin Coin rubbed his hands and explained: "For example, mobilizing the enthusiasm of workers. Before, people here planted fields, only planting enough for themselves to eat, and didn't go to reclaim more good fields at all. This was mainly because of war, grain seeds, Eternal Night, and food processing."

"So I suggested giving the newly reclaimed fields to the people who reclaimed them—more pay for more work, more planting, more harvesting. We provide grain seeds, are responsible for repurchasing, help with processing, and only charge a little handling fee and loss."

"In this way, everyone's enthusiasm is very high, working day and night. Because of the season, many of the newly reclaimed farmlands in this planting season weren't used. In the next planting season, grain production will increase even more."

Ha Wei realized, and then asked: "Do grain seeds refer to new grain seeds? And what does food processing mean?"

"Oh, right, that's the new grain seed cultivated by my Lord, which can mature within four months, with a yield per mu as high as... *uh*, it hasn't been counted yet, but it's probably about four or five hundred jin. Although it's a little less..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Great Sage: "Nonsense, a yield of four or five hundred jin per mu, how can you call it a little less? Our previous grain seeds only had a yield of a little over one hundred jin per mu. Five times, it increased five times! Is this still little?"

Bai Yin Coin shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice: "If it were my Lord Ang, anything less than one thousand jin would be considered little."

However, due to the natural conditions of this plane, a yield of four or five hundred jin per mu was considered qualified, so Bai Yin Coin didn't dwell on this issue and continued: "As for food processing, it refers to shelling, grinding into powder, baking, and adding ingredients."

"Farmers shelling and grinding into powder themselves has a very large loss and is especially time-consuming. Sometimes they work for half a day and it's not enough for the whole family to cook a meal. So I suggested using natural wind power, water power, and bone power to shell and grind together, so they don't have to be troubled," Bai Yin Coin said.

"Bone power?" Ha Wei was stunned by this new term, thinking for a while before reacting. Could it be referring to skeletons? Bone power?

"Does this make sense? Let skeletons wear out and work for those people for nothing?" Ha Wei asked unhappily.

"How is that possible!" Bai Yin Coin shouted subconsciously, as if he had been insulted: "I, Bai Yin Coin, do things, how could I work for nothing?! You..."

The Great Sage hurriedly floated over and pulled Bai Yin Coin to comfort him: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Ha Wei doesn't understand the tricks here, don't argue with him."

*??? * Ha Wei had a head full of question marks. Did he say something wrong? Even if he said something wrong, a tiny goblin actually dared to be angry? And the Great Sage was coaxing him? Damn it, isn't he afraid that I'll extract his soul for refining?

Ha Wei remembered. This goblin really wasn't afraid of him. He saluted very naturally when they met, and there was no panic like normal living things when they met skeletons.

Realizing this, Ha Wei couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Bai Yin Coin was slightly stunned, and then said: "My Lord protects me, I am not afraid of anyone."

Ha Wei's eyes widened: "Are you from the Church of Light? That's not right. You don't have that annoying aura on you."

The magic practitioners of the Church of Light are immersed in the power of holy light all year round, naturally carrying a kind of aura that undead creatures hate, which can be smelled from several meters away.

"Ah? No, no, I am a lich," Bai Yin Coin hurriedly said.

"What? You are a lich?" Ha Wei was shocked, his consciousness hurriedly scanned.

Under the consciousness scan of the Mourning Skeleton, Bai Yin Coin's state was clear at a glance.

Why didn't Ha Wei scan Bai Yin Coin's state at the beginning? Because Bai Yin Coin was the Great Sage's person. The basic etiquette of the Undead Empire is not to use consciousness to scan others. That is the same concept as lifting someone else's skirt.

However, faced with this situation, Ha Wei couldn't care about lifting skirts or not. A lich, why does he look so fresh?

Consciousness scanned over, and he really was a lich. It was truly magical.

"Why are you so fresh?" Ha Wei poked Bai Yin Coin's skin and asked in disbelief.

"This is the power of my Lord," Bai Yin Coin said proudly.

"Your god can even make a lich fresh? Who is your god?" Ha Wei asked.

"My Lord, the God of Undead," Bai Yin Coin said.

"*Pfft*..." Ha Wei laughed, and even the Great Sage on the side couldn't help but laugh.

The God of Undead is the godhead of the king, but the king originally has a soul network, which is a higher level of power than faith, so he doesn't use the God of Undead godhead much, and it has always been developed according to fate.

The Temple of Undead sends a few priests at will, mostly white silver skeletons. Think about it, stupid white silver skeletons, how can they develop believers? So the God of Undead godhead has always been inconspicuous.

But no matter how inconspicuous it is, it is still the king's thing. You, a fellow who popped out from nowhere, also dare to claim to be the God of Undead?

If it were those extremists from the Church of Light, hearing you talk about any gods of light, they would tear you apart on the spot. But Ha Wei and the Great Sage weren't that extreme, just laughing out loud:

"Actually the God of Undead, that's too good. Look at my hand, this is the Fire of All Beliefs. If your master is the God of Undead, then he must know me. Let him help me drive away these flames. If he can do it, then I will believe he is the God of Undead."

The Great Sage couldn't help but laugh: "Bai Yin Coin, you might not know, the God of Undead godhead belongs to the Undead King, that is, our former king. Pretending to be the God of Undead, that is really a false god breaking into the true god's temple. I hope you are not deceived by him."

Bai Yin Coin blinked and also laughed, the light of gold coins flashing in his eyes: "You wait a moment, I'll ask first. By the way, Lord Ha Wei, if I can help you drive away the Fire of All Beliefs, what reward are you willing to pay?"

"Hehe, of course, it's to serve him as master, the God of Undead," Ha Wei laughed.

Bai Yin Coin chuckled: "Lord Ha Wei, don't joke. I'll contact my Lord first. You can think about what kind of reward you can pay."

Bai Yin Coin finished speaking and walked to the side, closing his eyes and calling Ang.

Ha Wei was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He actually dared to talk to him like this, and even let him "think first" about what kind of reward he could pay?

Provoked by this train of thought, Ha Wei couldn't help but think along this line of thought. He didn't think about it, but he was startled. Am I actually this poor?

"Great Sage, besides this skeleton, I really don't seem to have anything to use as a reward," Ha Wei said in a low voice.

The Great Sage sneered: "You only know now? You don't even have a lounge chair that isn't chiseled from stone."

Ha Wei scratched his head, feeling a bit lacking in confidence: "Then what to do? What should I use as a reward?"

"Why think so much? You don't really think that this God of Undead who popped out from nowhere can really drive away the Fire of All Beliefs, right? Just hit him a few times and that's it. But don't hit Bai Yin Coin. This goblin is a first-class talent, I still have to keep him for great use," the Great Sage said.

Ha Wei realized: "Also, that's fine. Then use the Soul Thunder Eye given to me by Lord Luoke as a reward. Anyway, he can't take it away."

"You mean the Soul Thunder Eye eyepiece? The soul tool that can be stuck in the eye socket and release soul thunder? It's with you?" the Great Sage said in surprise.

"Right," Ha Wei said proudly, taking out an eyepiece from his bone seams as he spoke, and sticking it onto his eye socket:

"An eyepiece for our skeletons, but I can't drive this thing. Lord Luoke gave it to me to make it convenient for me to communicate with him. Unfortunately, it's useless now. No matter how I call, I can't get a response from Lord Luoke."

The Great Sage sighed: "This thing is too precious, put it away."

"Not afraid, it can't be snatched away. Let him drive away my Fire of All Beliefs first," Ha Wei said disdainfully. A fellow who popped out from nowhere also dares to claim to be the God of Undead? Truly looking for a beating.

If the other party couldn't drive away the Fire of All Beliefs, Ha Wei would never be polite and would tear him apart on the spot to see if Bai Yin Coin would abandon his faith.

Bai Yin Coin finished contacting and walked over to ask: "Lord Ha Wei, my Lord said it can be driven away. Have you thought about what reward you want to pay?"

Ha Wei pointed to his eye socket: "This." As he spoke, he explained the function of the eyepiece.

"Oh, then you expose the Fire of All Beliefs on your hand, and take the eyepiece down," Bai Yin Coin said.

Ha Wei had a playful attitude. Whatever Bai Yin Coin said, he did, so as not to blame him for not cooperating if he failed later.

An aura was projected onto Bai Yin Coin's body. The holy light-state soul Bai Yin Coin dragged a bag and emerged from Bai Yin Coin's body.

"Holy Light!?" Ha Wei and the Great Sage were stunned.

The soul Bai Yin Coin reached out and grabbed, and with one grab, took away the Fire of All Beliefs. This flame that had burned Ha Wei for more than four months was actually taken away by the soul like this?

The soul maintained a smile, reached out again, and went to weigh the eyepiece in Ha Wei's other hand.

"Okay, the Fire of Belief is driven away, I'm going to collect the reward," Bai Yin Coin said excitedly.

But just as the soul's fingers touched the eyepiece, Ha Wei's palm tightened, tightly gripping the eyepiece.

Bai Yin Coin's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Ha Wei, you wouldn't be thinking of reneging, right?" ===== CHAPTER 294 =====
