Luo Yan gently raised his hand, signaling Sarah and Alakdo to calm down, then calmly gazed at the skeleton in front of him.

An invisible force enveloped the top of that skeleton's head. It wasn't any Magic Power, but rather the Power of Faith above it.

It seemed to have felt Luo Yan's gaze, and the skeleton paused as if an invisible tether was around its neck, causing it to involuntarily bow its head in submission.

Releasing spiritual power to touch the soul residing in the skull, Luo Yan's eyebrows raised in surprise.

This skeleton soldier was neither a player character nor a temporary summon via magic, but a skeleton soldier bound to the Acolyte's Professional Altar.

The skeleton lacked a soul, existing purely as a mindless entity, or in other words, a "pet" bestowed upon Summoning System players.

Luo Yan hadn't expected that shortly after the system update, his players would start utilizing it.

What surprised him even more was not only did they skillfully master the technique of controlling summons, but they also applied it to production.

There were dozens of skeleton soldiers lurking in the warm cavern, scattered throughout the narrow and rugged cave.

They guarded the cavern like scarecrows, tending to the crops growing under the Magic Crystal Lamp, but had stopped due to a "bug".

The trigger for their automatic counterattack rule was the Demon King, but in their "low level code", they couldn't attack the Demon King.

From behind the flowers came a rustling sound, a small demon wearing a Netherworld Language breathing mask fluttered its wings as it flew out from the depths of the cave.

[Old Shoulder Giant Slippery]: "Hey! I told you to work! Why have you stopped… huh?! Lord Demon King, why are you here?!"

The player's face was full of surprise, nearly forgetting to flap his wings, causing him to fall from the sky.

"I'm just here for a casual look, don't mind me, go on with your work."

Luo Yan smiled faintly, released control over the few little skeletons, then looked at the player and asked.

"I'm curious, leaving these delicate crops to the summons is really okay?"

"No problem, no problem," [Old Shoulder Giant Slippery] chuckled, "I usually have them stand around like scarecrows, mainly to prevent wild demons from burrowing in to steal and eat. When work is needed, I personally take over their actions."

Luo Yan continued to ask.

"How many skeleton soldiers can you micro-manage at once?"

Hearing the word micro-manage, [Old Shoulder Giant Slippery] paused for a moment but didn't think much and straightforwardly answered.

"Not much, not much, at the limit I can handle six."

Six isn't too bad.

Upon hearing the player's response, Luo Yan couldn't help but marvel. Generally, when an Undead Mage reaches Bronze Level, managing six skeletons simultaneously is quite impressive.

Yet this guy is only Black Iron Level and can manage six skeletons simultaneously...

Let's just say he's worthy of being a little demon, allocating even Intelligence attribute points to spiritual power; this racial talent is truly unmatched.

"That's already quite something." Offering a sincere evaluation, Luo Yan glanced around, suddenly curious and said, "I've been wanting to ask since earlier, where does the irrigation water for your cave-grown crops come from?"

Dave, following beside him, was about to answer when the little demon player eagerly replied.

"That's simple! We've installed pipes in the cave connecting to Beifeng City's tap water system!"

Tap water system, impressive indeed.

Luo Yan's expression grew increasingly surprised, followed by a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Seems a lot has happened while I was away."

Unexpectedly, in just a few months' absence, Beifeng City had adopted a tap water system.

He recalled that when he left, residents relied on wells for water, yet now they even have tap water available.

A Dark Night Elf girl holding a soil-filled flowerpot approached at this time.

She had a leather breathing mask on her face, an oxygen tank powered by Netherworld Magic strapped to her back.

Upon seeing Luo Yan, a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she bowed respectfully.

"Lord Demon King? Why are you here?"

"Just here for a casual look," Luo Yan chuckled lightly, glancing at the flowerpot in her hands curiously and asked, "What's this?"

"This is our newly formulated fertilizer; Blazing Flame Flowers can't grow in regular soil, so your servant and I have tried mixing volcanic ash and other magical materials into it..."

In her first face-to-face encounter with the Demon King, the Dark Night Elf girl's cheeks blushed, her fingers fidgeting beneath the flowerpot.

"The Blazing Flame Flowers have successfully bloomed, but their breeding rate is still slow, so we thought..."

"We thought about improving the formula! Adjusting the proportions of various components in the soil! Please rest assured, Lord Demon King, I'll take care of this work!" The little demon player suddenly interjected, his bright eyes faintly flickering with either apprehension or jealousy.

Luo Yan curiously glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to the Dark Night Elf holding the flowerpot, instantly understanding the situation.

Well well.

They're smitten with each other!

Though judging from the Dark Night Elf's annoyed look, she didn't seem to fancy the brother named [Old Shoulder Giant Slippery], even showing slight disdain for the interruption.
