Looking at the Grim Reaper girl before him, clutching the hem of his clothes and gazing up at him with a pitiful expression as she begged him to help her reap souls, Luo Wu sighed.
He asked the Grim Reaper girl, "Do you want to reap as many human souls as possible?"
The Grim Reaper girl nodded.
"So you want to harvest them in bulk through things like plagues, wars, and famines?"
The Grim Reaper girl nodded vigorously.
"You fool!" Luo Wu said, exasperated, poking her hard on the forehead.
"How is that any different from killing the hen for its eggs? Do you even understand what it means to make the cake bigger first?
"Productivity is so low in this era that people can barely feed themselves. Even if you wiped out humanity, you'd harvest at most a few million souls!
"But if you first help humanity increase its productivity, so people have plenty of supplies and can have more children, their population will grow exponentially!
"Once they have tens or hundreds of billions of people, you could lie around doing nothing and still reap tens of millions every year!"
The Grim Reaper girl covered her bright red forehead, suddenly enlightened!
