Chapter 339

The small claw pressed on the finger bone, pinched it, and hesitated.

Feiti reached out its finger blankly, poked the small claw, pressed it, the claw's flesh sank in, let go, and it popped out again. Soft, so much fun.

Feiti poked a few times, wanted to poke again, but the small claw lifted and slapped its hand away.

The small claw finally hooked the finger bone away, and when it reached out again, it threw out a small bag of elf beans.

"No..." Just after saying one word, the small claw retracted again.

"Don't want this... ask about the God of Immortality... I don't eat..." Looking at the empty statue hand, Feiti was very blank. It didn't need to eat, so why give it elf beans? It just wanted to ask for information about the God of Immortality.

But the small claw had already retracted, and it couldn't hear it anymore. What to do?

"Got scammed..." Feiti raised its hand, which only had four fingers left. Forget it, it picked up an ordinary finger bone from the ground and placed it on the statue's hand.

It thought too much. How could an evil god take a fancy to an ordinary finger bone? Feiti found some stones again, but the statue still didn't react.

Just like this, a lonely figure wandered on the earth. When it found something new, it would place it on the statue's hand, but this was a desolate world, and many things had no value...

Ang planted food in the newly reclaimed farmland. The land here was very fertile, in the middle of nowhere, and rarely visited by people. If reclaimed, it could support many people.

The main plane is actually full of such undeveloped land, but productivity is low, and land reclamation is a matter where input and output are not proportional. Noble landlords have no interest at all. They would rather drive away and annex the land of self-cultivating farmers, because that is mature land.

This place is actually only a few dozen kilometers away from the Black Mountain Duchy, but to develop this place, at least one road is needed. How much does it cost to build a road here?

Even if a road is built and farmers are migrated here, if there are few people, nothing can be done. If there are many people, the investment is large, which can easily bankrupt a noble.

People have migrated here, farmland needs to be reclaimed, houses need to be built to settle down, and there are various initial investments. The cost is very large.

However, what about the benefits? The first year is definitely pure expenditure, the second year there will be a little income, but it definitely won't fill the expenditure. Only after at least five, six, seven, or eight years can it break even. Only then can taxes be collected.

But relying solely on tax collection, the initial investment might take decades to break even. Everyone knows that land reclamation is a century-long undertaking, but after really calculating the costs, who would be willing to really invest the cost to reclaim land?

"You're still the best. Hundreds of acres of wasteland were reclaimed in a few days. Using this as a stronghold, migrating dozens of farmer households here, there can be a harvest next year. After breaking even, relying on this place as a center to gradually expand, a town can be built without much investment," Nai Ge Li Si sighed.

Ang shook his head: "No need, soon." As he said this, he stepped down a footprint.

He meant: No need to wait until next year for a harvest. The farmland he reclaimed was all planned based on how large an area the Death Aura could radiate.

At the beginning, the Death Aura could only radiate an area of three hundred acres, now it can radiate six hundred acres, so his reclamation was planned based on six hundred acres at a time.

However, for six hundred acres, the pollination and grain-filling stage would be difficult to control, so he extended the time of the Death Aura. Now it takes four hours to complete the entire cycle.

With frequent use, Ang's application of the Death Aura has become more and more handy. When he first understood it, he could only turn it to the maximum or shrink it to the minimum, completely unable to control it.

Now he has gradually been able to control the range and acceleration rate of the aura.

"Divine skills can be upgraded? How is that possible? How did you do it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked puzzledly.

He also has divine skills, why can't they be upgraded? How they were when they first awakened, they were the same later. He had almost never heard of divine skills that could be upgraded.

"Comparison," Ang said.

"Pfft, you wouldn't be recording the subtle changes every time you use a divine skill and then comparing them with the previous ones, right?" Nai Ge Li Si wanted to vomit blood.

Ang nodded as a matter of course.

"... That's true. No one's divine power is blown by a big wind. It must be saved. Every time you use a divine skill, you are cautious. Unlike you, you use it to grow vegetables every day." Nai Ge Li Si said in a huff:

"Next time I'll compare too. Uh, no, I can't use divine skills anymore. No, the Wisdom Aura can still be used, the Truth Whisper should also be usable, but my believers never pray to me, so I have no chance to use it. Ku Ba Da, why doesn't that dead child pray?"

Nai Ge Li Si's only believer, the pharmacist Alchemist Sawa, was carefully dripping medicine into a test tube in the laboratory when she suddenly sneezed inexplicably.

Her hand shook, the medicine dripped too much, the test tube rose with a puff of green smoke, which rushed onto Alchemist Sawa's face, and she took a big breath of it.

Alchemist Sawa, who reacted, had a face that turned green, and she cursed angrily: "Ku Ba Da, who is cursing me!? This is Sleeping Beauty..." Before she could finish speaking, she fell to the ground and fell asleep with a snore.

Vanya, who heard the movement, poked her head in, glanced at it, walked in as if it were nothing, and reached out to check her breathing.

"Hmm, still breathing, throw her on the bed. No breathing, find Lisa." Vanya muttered, stripped Alchemist Sawa naked, and threw her on the bed.

When she brought in the food in the evening, she saw Alchemist Sawa on the bed already sitting up in a daze. The light of the magic crystal night light shone on her face, tender enough to reflect light.

"Eh, you're awake? What's wrong with your face? Why is it so tender?" Vanya asked.

Alchemist Sawa heard the word "tender," jumped off the bed, rushed to the mirror and looked: "Wow, it's so tender. My Sleeping Beauty medicine succeeded? Great, I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Vanya glanced at her flat skin and said in a huff: "Can you put on your clothes first? Do you believe in the God of Knowledge or the God of Gold coins? Thinking about getting rich all day."

Alchemist Sawa smiled: "I believe in the God of Knowledge just to get rich, hahahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich, Lord Lisa will give me a dividend, la la la la."

Alchemist Sawa, who was overly excited, didn't notice at all that the weak connection she had with Nai Ge Li Si broke with a snap.

Nai Ge Li Si felt it, retracted into his main body, and looked. The Huang Tong Book was gradually dimming.

"What's going on? What happened? Where is my believer? Alchemist Sawa? Alchemist Sawa? Are you dead?" Nai Ge Li Si was anxious.

Under his constant urging, Ang had to use the fastest speed to teleport back to the Heavenly Kingdom, then project to Demon Valley, and then take the teleportation array back to Beauty God City.

After a chaotic journey to the laboratory, he pushed the door open and looked. Alchemist Sawa was alive and well, humming a song with a smile. She was stunned when she saw everyone rush in.

Under Nai Ge Li Si's interrogation, it was finally clear what happened. Nai Ge Li Si was so angry that his scales stood up: "You mean, you said 'I believe in the God of Knowledge just to get rich'?"

Alchemist Sawa shrank her head in embarrassment and smiled: "Just said it casually, just said it casually."

"You apostate, you apostate, you apostate." Nai Ge Li Si was so angry that he slapped her head with his small short claws. He didn't know if there was water inside, but it made a clanging sound.

From Nai Ge Li Si's momentum, Alchemist Sawa felt that she seemed to have done something terrible. She didn't dare to talk back like before, hugged her head and curled into a ball. Anyway, Nai Ge Li Si didn't have the heart to use force, so it didn't hurt.

Du Luo Ken watched for a long time and seemed to understand a little: "This is your believer. You wouldn't have not taught your believer the rules of faith, right? Where is your priest?"

It was Nai Ge Li Si's turn to be embarrassed: "She's my only believer."

Du Luo Ken paid tribute: "One believer? Her? And you don't teach her anything?"

Nai Ge Li Si smiled: "How did I know her faith was so unsteady, daring to say anything."

Anthony also came back, shook his head when he heard this: "This is not something you can just say. She must think so in her heart too. This is blasphemy against faith, an apostate more hateful than a heretic. Burn her. In the Church of Light, apostates must be tied to the stake and burned for seven days and seven nights."

Alchemist Sawa was so scared that her mouth opened wide: "Is... is it that serious? I... I just said it casually, Lord Nai Ge, I believe in you, I devoutly believe in you."

Nai Ge Li Si shrank back and looked at the still dim Huang Tong Book, then came out and curled his lips: "Fake, not devout at all, she definitely doesn't think so in her heart, burn her."

Alchemist Sawa rolled her eyes and fainted.

Anthony was amused. This fainting was too fake; the eyelids were still moving underneath.

He turned to Nai Ge Li Si and said: "Lord Nai Ge, this won't do. What's the use of having only one believer, and you don't teach her any rules, isn't that just free-range?"

Nai Ge Li Si spread his hands: "It's useless to have so many believers. I can't teach them to grow vegetables. I only have the latest knowledge on growing vegetables now."

"What's wrong with growing vegetables? Growing vegetables is also knowledge. Just teach this. Do you still remember the Spring Breeze Cup Grain Seed Competition? Because of the drought, this year's grain seed competition is no longer limited to yield, but has added adaptability projects. You can participate in the grain seed competition with the lord and teach them vegetable growing knowledge."

Ang, who had been reaching into the space, finally raised his head when he heard this.

Flash Feiti, the gods of light, the soul storm, the faith storm, Ang actually wasn't very interested in any of them. Growing things was more fun.

Alright, Ang was interested, so what was the point of Nai Ge Li Si's opposition? Anyway, the venue wasn't far, just in the Star Republic. The time was the harvest season a month later, but registration had to start now.

Ang's registration was too convenient. Just find a little loli in Beauty God City.

"What? You want to register for the grain seed competition? You? The God of Immortality and the God of Knowledge? Participate in the grain seed competition?" Au Benli looked at Ang and Nai Ge Li Si suspiciously and advised:

"That's a very professional competition. The highest yield per acre of grain seeds has already exceeded a thousand jin. Although Lord Ang can grow things, it's better not to participate."

That meant: Amateur players don't enter professional competitions, it will be embarrassing.

Au Benli wasn't one of their own, and didn't know many things. Nai Ge Li Si naturally wouldn't explain, just said: "What conditions are needed to register? Just say it directly, we'll solve the rest ourselves."

"Really want to participate?" Au Benli asked seriously. After confirmation, she waved her hand: "What conditions could be needed? With me here, what conditions are needed? Do you think I'm dead?"

After a pause, she said: "However, after registration, you need to take a growth monitoring stone pillar, insert it into the land you are competing on, and collect data for half a month. At that time, input it into the simulation array for simulation. You must insert it for enough half a month, no more, no less, and you cannot cheat."

"I heard that Lord Ang seems to be able to make crops grow faster. Absolutely not, it will make the data abnormal."

Nai Ge Li Si nodded, indicating he understood: "Okay, I understand. Where do I go to register?"

"Just register here with me. I'll record it for you. What name should I use to compete? Come, this is the monitoring stone pillar. Once inserted into the soil, it cannot be pulled out, otherwise it will be recalculated. Measure for half a month until the harvest is finished."

"Okay, need a name? Let's call it Spring Breeze." Nai Ge Li Si said casually.

"No, Spring Breeze Cup Competition, you name it Spring Breeze? Want to title it?"

Nai Ge Li Si turned back to discuss with Ang. Two naming-disabled people studied for a while and simply called it: "Saltwater Magic Rice Team."

"You want to use Saltwater Magic Rice to compete? Then it's best not to use this name. Others will target you in advance. Don't even call it Saltwater, call it Salted Fish."

"Salted Fish Team? Sounds weird. Forget it, let's just call it this." Ang and Nai Ge Li Si looked at each other and didn't have a better idea, so they agreed on this name.

Lei Dian was wandering around idly when the "fur hat" on his head suddenly moved. He shook his head hard, but the "fur hat" didn't move at all.

"What are you doing? Don't move around, okay."

A small furry claw poked out from the fur hat, holding an elf bean, and dangled it to Lei Dian's mouth.

Lei Dian stuck out his tongue to lick the bean, and said after eating: "Alright, you can move."

The fur hat moved, two small claws poked out and retracted from time to time, and the things in his hands were switched from left to right, and right to left.

"Are you organizing things? Why are they all elf beans? How many elf beans did you steal from the lord? Quickly bribe me, or I'll tell the lord."

The big cat hurriedly bowed to the evil forces and gave another elf bean.

Lei Dian licked it away again, then burped. Two elf beans were enough for his daily nutrition. No need to eat anything today. Go back and eat two beets as dessert, and drink some sparkling wine.

The big cat suddenly jumped off Lei Dian's head.

His head suddenly felt cold. Lei Dian hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going? Come back, my head is cold." It turned out he really treated the big cat as a hat.

The big cat ignored him, ran away sneakily, and soon came to Ang, took out a small claw, and pressed it in front of Ang: "Awoo~"

Ang tilted his head: "Trade things? Trade what?"

"Awoo~" While saying this, it opened its claw. Under the claw was a section of purple-gold finger bone.
