Watching the busy figures of the two Little Skeletons in the wheat field, Alex Stone couldn't help but feel envious. These skeletons, with no stamina limitations, were simply born to work!

After eating his steamed bun, Alex lay down by the field, slowly recovering his strength. Looking at the peaceful sky of Star Origin, he felt an unparalleled sense of tranquility, a feeling of reassurance.

Thinking of his two powerful skills, Alex smiled broadly, a feeling of happiness surging through his mind, causing him to fall asleep without even realizing it.

Before long, the icon in the wheat field disappeared, and Lucky and the Little Skeletons returned to Alex's side, who had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The two Little Skeletons quietly watched their master, lying motionless on the ground. Having never slept before, they didn't understand why Alex was in this state. They simply stood on either side of him, guarding him, as if by instinct.

It wasn't until the notification icon reappeared above the wheat field that Lucky led the Little Skeletons back into the field.

After all, Alex had already given them the instruction: as long as the icon appeared above the wheat field, they were to go to the field and perform the corresponding labor.

However, when the two Little Skeletons finished their work on the Star Origin icon again and returned to Alex's side, they found that he was still fast asleep. Subsequently, a similar scene began to play out again and again.

It wasn't until the breeze of the Star Origin world brushed across Alex's cheek that he finally woke up from his slumber.

Upon waking up, Alex realized that he had actually fallen asleep. He immediately opened his eyes, a hint of panic flashing through them. He summoned the interface and checked the time, discovering that more than 3 hours had passed!

Alex stood up somewhat hurriedly, hurriedly checking the condition of the wheat field.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel self-reproach in his heart: How could I have fallen asleep? I've been too slack! Just because I had a little hope because of the power of the skills, I started to relax my self-discipline. How can this be allowed!

Fortunately, seeing a watering icon floating above the wheat field, and not a phenomenon of multiple icons existing at the same time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that during his rest, the two Little Skeletons had been working according to his instructions.

"Fortunately, I had already issued basic instructions to them, otherwise, I don't know how many copper coins I would have lost during this sleep!" Alex thought to himself, secretly rejoicing.

He then stretched his body, which was a little stiff from sleeping, and was just about to join the work in the wheat field when he saw that the icon had disappeared, and the two Little Skeletons slowly appeared in Alex's field of vision.

Alex looked at the two Little Skeletons, who looked like they had crawled out of a mud pit. The more he looked at them, the more he found them to be well-behaved and cute. He gently wiped the mud off their skull heads, and couldn't help but laugh as he looked at them.

Although they were his summons and should act according to his instructions, Alex didn't think so. It might be because they were hardworking and uncomplaining, reminding Alex of himself as a farmer professional;

It may also be that they had a kind of connection with Alex in the dark, making Alex feel a sense of intimacy when he looked at them.

"Work hard, your master won't mistreat you. When I have money in the future, I'll buy you some clothes to wear," Alex said to them with a chuckle.

Looking at the two skeletons with slightly different physical characteristics, Alex couldn't help but think about how he should distinguish them as the number of skeletons increased in the future since they looked so similar.

At the same time, he also began to consider how to manage the Little Skeletons when there were more of them in the future. He couldn't just have them all rush over and work hard whenever a notification appeared, like they were doing now.

Although this approach also had its advantages, it still felt too chaotic. Just imagine, in one acre of land, hundreds of skeletons working at the same time. Not to mention the efficiency, the sound of collisions between skeletons alone would be endless!

As Alex thought about this, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Lucky once again.

After all, this first Little Skeleton had given him the most surprises. Since it could help him guide the newly arrived Little Skeletons in their labor, could it also help him manage the labor of the skeletons?

Alex felt that this was a method worth trying. If it really didn't work in the end, then he could only slowly summarize in the future and see how many skeletons were most efficient in managing one acre of land, and then manually allocate them.

As his professional level increased, he would be able to expand his fields through money in the future, and the surplus labor of the Little Skeletons would also have a place to be displayed, but this was a last resort.

"Lucky, this Little Skeleton will be under your control from now on. From now on, you will be Captain Lucky, and you will be fully responsible for the maintenance of this acre of land. I will also add new members to your team in the future. Work hard, the future is bright!"

Alex patted Lucky's shoulder bone and entrusted it with great responsibility.

But looking at Lucky's motionless appearance, Alex didn't know if it could understand what he meant.

Alex wasn't in a hurry. After all, there were only two skeletons in total now, so he would try it out first.

If this method really worked, he could entrust all the affairs of the farmland to the Little Skeletons in the future. He would only need to come to the Star Origin world regularly every day to cast two skills, and he wouldn't need to do anything else.

In this way, he would also have time to improve his own strength in reality.

Since having Star Origin, almost everyone who successfully awakened would use up all their daily time in the Star Origin world before returning to reality.

And in reality, apart from normal rest time, there wasn't much time for them to exercise.

For them, the longer they stayed in the Star Origin world, the more it would not only improve their professional level, but it also meant that they would earn more money in Star Origin, and it would be easier to extract anything from the Star Origin world into reality in the future.

Alex was the exact opposite. As the number of Little Skeletons increased in the future, the role he played in the farmland would become smaller and smaller, so it would be better to exercise his body in reality.

Although the final effect of exercising in reality was not as comparable as those combat professionals who could quickly level up in the Star Origin world, accumulate money quickly, and exchange professional skills into reality, there wasn't much comparability.

But these were the only things he could do at this stage. Since he couldn't rely much on combat skills, he could only rely on his body.

Alex couldn't help but imagine that when he was rich enough in the future, could he also learn from those combat professionals and exchange the expensive attribute points into the real world, so as to realize his dream of going out to kill disasters?!
