Chapter 137: Whose Fault?**
Shen Ye doubted in his heart, but he heard a wild laugh coming from the dining table.
"You undead!"
"Make a decision early, otherwise our army, after destroying the Human Race's territory, will attack Evernight City directly!"
Shen Ye raised his eyebrows.
These orcs, do they dare to be so insolent in the territory of the undead?
They are looking for death!
He waited for several breaths.
But the undead did not speak.
They stared at that war axe and could not utter a single word.
...What a shame.
Shen Ye felt that the atmosphere was very awkward.
It can't be, it can't be.
Does a soldier's war axe scare the undead to the point that they dare not speak?
Perhaps his confused expression appeared.
Or perhaps the invitation of the singing and dancing troupe this time was for them to play a role.
Anyway—
That female demon turned her gaze and said in a low voice:
"Members of the ‘Night Rose’ troupe, let me explain."
"—The orcs have indeed been able to mass-produce this type of war axe. In addition, all other types of weapons and armor have received a qualitative leap in quality, and have basically reached an excellent level."
"Yes, with their mass-produced equipment, they should indeed be able to sweep away any race in the entire world."
Shen Ye held his breath for a while, then relaxed.
Mass production.
This word seems simple, but it is actually very terrifying.
On the battlefield.
Every member of the orc clan carries a war axe of blue quality.
All other equipment and armor have received a qualitative leap in quality, all are blue or higher.
How can one fight like this?
Who can stop the orc army?
No wonder the undead dared not speak!
—But there is a clear problem here.
The orcs—
How did they suddenly become so strong?
In the past, they were often described by other races as "stupid," "good barbarians," and "clear eyes."
And now they want to sweep the entire world!
Why were they able to achieve this step?
Shen Ye fully realized the seriousness of the matter and fully understood why everyone was depressed.
But his heart was as curious as a scratching cat, and he really wanted to know the answer.
Fortunately, Lady Daisy began to ask:
"Have they mastered a new manufacturing technology?"
The female demon replied: "No."
"Has a person of the master level appeared in the field of manufacturing?"
"Not so."
"Did they get something from excavating ruins?"
"You are getting off topic."
Lady Daisy asked: "Sorry, I really don't know what the situation is, can you say directly?"
There was silence for a moment.
The undead lowered their heads, as if there was a demon in the void that they did not dare to look at directly.
The female demon also showed a very difficult and painful expression.
"Daisy, you have been to the steppes of the orc clan. You should know their living habits."
Lady Daisy replied: "Yes, I know them—they are hardworking and easily satisfied, and they enjoy everything that nature gives, including death, so I never thought they were a threat."
The female demon held her breath and said in a low voice: "But the orcs now..."
Daisy said, feeling impatient: "What about them?"
The female demon said, with a hint of fear flashing in her eyes: "They have started 996."
996.
Shen Ye froze.
What!
This world has really given birth to 996!
It can't be because I said it randomly, which led to this matter!
Lady Daisy's expression also changed, and she said quickly:
"Isn't 996 just a false news deliberately released by the Human Race to scare everyone? I heard that all kinds of scouts went to the territory of the Human Race to scout the news, and they did not implement the real 996!"
The female demon replied quickly and in a low voice: "That's right, but the orcs are stupid, they think that doing so will make the other clans afraid—they are really doing it!"
Lady Daisy froze and said in an unbelievable tone:
"Work from 9 am to 9 pm, and a one-hour break at noon and in the evening—even less than an hour, and work 6 days a week?"
The female demon said: "Yes, that's what the orcs are doing now."
Shen Ye asked, unable to help himself: "Then what does this have to do with this war axe?"
"The relationship is very big."
A sorcerer next to him said, trembling:
"Usually, orcs inherit the weapons of their ancestors, and they are rarely willing to put in the effort to remake new weapons."
"But now it's different."
"They have implemented a 996 work system, and their production has increased significantly in the field of weapon manufacturing alone."
"As you know, if the manufacturing process is normal, the probability of weapons of blue quality appearing during the weapon manufacturing process is only 0.5%."
"But now the production has increased."
"In the past, orcs could only make two war axes a day."
"Now the number of workers has increased, the working hours have been extended, and the management has become stricter, and they have to work overtime every day—"
"They can now make two thousand war axes—every day!"
"Please calculate the number of blue quality weapons every day."
"And this is only the war axe, and there are qualitative leaps in all other aspects."
"Now no one dares to underestimate the orcs!"
Lady Daisy said as she raised her hands: "So, should we start 996 too?"
An awkward silence fell.
Shen Ye saw a kind of fear in these big undead.
Even he himself, when he remembered these three words 996, felt some subconscious fear.
This is really—
He couldn't help but sigh.
If you say these orcs are stupid, they have implemented 996 first and raised their combat power.
If you say they are smart, they have provoked the undead with 996!
Undead are beings who do not know fatigue!
Once the undead also start 996—
This continent will be completely plunged into a crazy internal competition!
How will everyone live!
The sorcerer said in a low voice: "The Count was preparing to go on vacation recently, but the orcs came and showed the power of 996, and asked the Count to surrender on behalf of the Undead Empire, which is not a small matter."
Lady Daisy, who was always known for her elegance, moved her body, and her anxiety was almost overflowing.
Daisy said worriedly: "I don't want 996. I have a lot of things to do after work. I have an Undead cat, I have to spend time with it every day, and the Veterans Guild needs my guidance and help, and there are also some matters in the brittle bone society."
The sorcerer said: "No one wants 996, Daisy."
The dark elf on the side said: "In a little while, if you have the chance to meet the Count, persuade him."
Daisy froze: "Me?"
All the other undead nodded their heads.
At this moment, a servant came to the banquet hall and said in a low voice:
"Lady Daisy, please take your subordinates and go to the study room. The Count is waiting for you."
Lady Daisy got up: "Okay." and gestured to Shen Ye and Lily, then followed the servant forward.
Shen Ye and Lily got up quickly and followed her.
The study room.
A man with long brown hair held a wine glass and stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the rainy scene outside.
—No one knows when the rain outside began.
The rain blurred the window glass.
But the man continued to stare at the window, not saying a word, as if he was thinking about something deeply.
Lady Daisy said softly as she bowed: "My Lord Count."
The man woke up, turned around, looked at Lady Daisy, and a smile appeared on his face.
His face had a natural majesty, his eyes were bright, and his voice was deep and magnetic:
"Daisy, you came at the right time. I have always believed that the ‘Night Rose’ troupe is the best art troupe in the entire empire."
Lady Daisy said as she bowed slightly again: "You praise me too much."
The Count said: "It's like this—I have a very important diplomatic activity, and I need a singing and dancing troupe that can represent the Undead Empire to accompany me, so I must give you a chance to compete fairly."
Lady Daisy said: "Our ‘Night Rose’ troupe never fears challenges."
"Of course! Of course! So the topic is like this—"
The Count waved his hand.
A basketball-sized water ball appeared in front of everyone.
"My art can transform water into countless forms, and you will use this art of mine to make an artistic creation."
"Create an impromptu performance—"
"But first, I want to show you the works of the Ash Bone troupe and the Dusky Dark singing and dancing troupe. This is to avoid you making a repetitive creation."
The Count said as he extended his hand and gently pointed to that ball of water.
The round water ball scattered, turned into rain, and continued to fall in the entire study room.
This water seemed to be alive, gathered into a stream, floated in the air, and wandered constantly, and issued a beautiful song, and finally transformed into the large characters "Ash Bone Troupe".
"This is the work of the Ash Bone troupe, and now the Dusky Dark singing and dancing troupe."
The Count changed his hand gesture.
The water gathered again into a ball, suddenly exploded, and countless water droplets like a meteor shower, shining with brilliance, were very beautiful.
Dozens of high-pitched female voices sang in this meteor shower, praising all the blessings that water brings.
This scene was more magnificent than the performance of the Ash Bone troupe just now.
Even Lady Daisy and Lily couldn't help but nod their heads secretly.
"So, now it's the turn of the ‘Night Rose’ troupe—you can consult, as long as it does not repeat with the previous two."
The Count said.
All the strange phenomena disappeared, and that ball of water was still hanging in front of him, waiting for the last challenger.
