When Fangzheng saw this, he didn't explain. The rest didn't ask either, but the speed at which they worked clearly sped up. They no longer felt despair towards victory, but instead felt a little more hope. Perhaps they also hoped that the monk who didn't sink into the mud could create a miracle? Fangzheng was already satisfied when he saw this. Winning or losing was far less important than having faith!
"Jingxin, Jingzhen! Stop fooling around. Quickly harvest the wheat. Don't lose to the machine, "said Fangzheng with a smile.
Red Boy was taken aback when he heard that. Monkey immediately took the sickle and ran over like a black clay figurine. He mimicked Zhou Zishan and company's actions and began harvesting the paddy.
Zhou Zishan and company never expected Monkey to be so intelligent. He really knew how to harvest the paddy. Although he wasn't very skilled, he was indeed doing it. Having an additional person meant additional strength, so the few of them were naturally happy.
Just as Fangzheng was about to take action, Wang Yougui ran over.
"The price has been set. Everyone has agreed to my price. By the way, all of you have to work hard for this competition. "Wang Yougui explained Sun Youqian's situation and said angrily," It was supposed to be fun, but this fellow has ruined it! "
"Does he really plan on using poison? If he loses, he'll twist his head off and use it as a chamber pot? "asked Fangzheng.
"That's right," said Wang Yougui.
Fangzheng pricked up his brows and activated his Wisdom Eye to look at Sun Youqian from afar. He saw a blob of black gas around Sun Youqian transform into money. Clearly, although Sun Youqian had never committed murder or robbery, he had earned quite a bit of dirty money. Upon seeing this, Fangzheng had a plan. If Sun Youqian was a good person, he wouldn't mind cracking a joke. But now … Fangzheng said, "Patron, forget about twisting his head off. Our monastery doesn't lack chamber pots. If his machine loses, get him to give us another combined harvester. Sign it in black and white. "
"Ah? This … Abbot Fangzheng, although he was messing around, it was just a passing remark. If we really lose, it's impossible for us to take his head. But with what you said, it will become a real gamble. "Wang Yougui was a little worried." Once it becomes a real gamble, what happens if we lose? "
Fangzheng said, "We won't lose!"
"Uh, we won't lose?" Wang Yougui looked at Fangzheng, perplexed. Fangzheng was a machine. No matter how impressive human strength was, could it compare to a machine?
Fangzheng whispered a few words into Wang Yougui's ear. Wang Yougui's eyes immediately lit up as he roared with laughter. "Done! I understand now, haha … "
After saying that, Wang Yougui ran away.
Since he had a plan, Fangzheng naturally wasn't in a hurry to take action. Instead, he leisurely brandished the sickle in the air as though he was warming up. It was also as though he didn't know how to harvest rice.
A distance away, Sun Youqian and company couldn't see Fangzheng's feet after he jumped into the river. All they could see was Fangzheng's upper body, so they naturally didn't know that Fangzheng was floating on the mud.
When Sun Youqian saw that the monkey was really working, he curled his lips and said, "This monkey is quite intelligent. Unfortunately, a monkey is a monkey. How useful can one more monkey be? Isn't he still going to lose? "
Jiang Chaowei glanced at the harvester, then at the villagers. He was still worried, so he ran over and said something to Yang Hua. Although Yang Hua was a little unhappy, he still asked Yang Ping to leave. Jiang Chaowei sat beside him. Clearly, Jiang Chaowei was here to supervise the work, afraid that Yang Hua would go easy on him.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Youqian felt even more confident. At the same time, he gave Jiang Chaowei a look of approval and chuckled. "From the looks of it, my head has been saved. This monk is definitely treating me to a meal."
Everyone was originally looking forward to having a meal with Fangzheng, but with Sun Youqian stirring things up, all of them silently stood on Fangzheng's side. Regardless, Fangzheng was one of them! All of them wished that Fangzheng could defy the heavens and win. However, when they looked at the steel behemoth, everyone knew that no matter how powerful a person was, how could they be compared to a machine? The outcome of this match had been decided from the beginning. All they could do was support Fangzheng emotionally.
Just as Sun Youqian was feeling smug, Fangzheng happened to say something to Wang Yougui. Then, he brandished the sickle twice in the air to get a feel for it.
"Haha … He might not even know how to harvest paddy." Jiang Chaowei subconsciously laughed when he saw Fangzheng brandish the sickle in an irregular manner.
Sun Youqian laughed as well. "Harvesting paddy looks rather simple. It's just using a sickle to cut off the stalks, but there's a method to everything. There are many tricks involved. The position of the hand grabbing the paddy, the direction of the blade, and so on, are all very particular. Some methods are fast and save energy, while others are clumsy and require a lot of energy. It's even easy to injure oneself. This monk's brandishing of the sickle probably means that he has never done it before, right? He's indeed a flower in a greenhouse. All he does is brag, but he doesn't have any real ability. "
When Sun Youqian said that, he couldn't be bothered to watch any further. He planned on finding a spot to rest and wait for the match to end. Regardless, he had to get a bamboo shoot to take a photo even if he had to buy it. At the very least, he couldn't embarrass himself. At the same time, he wondered if he could hoodwink such a large village and sell one or two harvesters.
At this moment, Wang Yougui came and informed Sun Youqian about the match.
When Sun Yougui heard Wang Yougui's words, he was immediately amused. "To think there are people who aren't afraid of death these days. Why? Do you really think that humans can beat machines? If humans can beat machines, I'll even give you the one you are buying now, much less one! "
"Are you serious?" Wang Yougui asked.
"Yes! But speaking of which, if I lose, I'll give you two combined harvesters. What's the deal if you lose? "Sun Youqian asked.
Wang Yougui hesitated slightly, as though he had never considered the problem.
When Sun Youqian saw this, he sneered inwardly. He's indeed a bumpkin. He wants to compete in the heat of the moment he loses. He doesn't even know what to compensate if he loses. He doesn't even have a plan, yet he wants to compete?
Sun Youqian looked at Wang Yougui contemptuously and said, "Why don't we do this? If you lose, buy our combined harvester at twice the price. How about that? Don't be dissatisfied. My conditions are much better than what I can compensate you. "
Sun Youqian never imagined that he would lose. He knew his own machine very well. It was definitely better than the wheat hands. Furthermore, he could tell that the monk, Fangzheng, Monkey, and the child were complete amateurs. Even with them, they were bound to lose. Since it was a deal that was guaranteed to win, he naturally wanted to make it happen. He didn't want to scare Wang Yougui away.
However, Dog Song and the other villagers were having none of it.
"Village Chief, how can a human beat a machine? The stakes are a little too high. "
"That's right, Village Chief. We can't gamble."
"This isn't a gamble at all. We're giving him money."
…
Upon hearing the villagers' words, Sun Youqian was a little worried that Wang Yougui would be afraid and not gamble with him. His eyes darted around as he took out his wallet and counted out ten thousand yuan. He placed it in front of him and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. If Village Chief agrees, we can write it down in black and white. This ten thousand yuan will be my deposit!"
However, the villagers remained unconvinced. This was a situation where he was bound to lose. Who would bet with him!?
Sun Youqian stared at Wang Yougui. Finally, Wang Yougui let out a long sigh and patted Sun Youqian on the shoulder.
Sun Youqian's heart immediately sank. It was as if a duck that was already in his mouth had flown away!
