I Hired a Grim Reaper to Harvest Rice, and Got on an Invention Show

As the village's biggest grain grower, Liu Xi has his own special harvesting technique during the busy season:

"Hey, Grim Reaper? That huge scythe of yours looks pretty handy. Come help me harvest the rice for a few days."

"Yeah, same place as usual."

And so Liu Xi lives a peaceful, pastoral life, free from worldly concerns.

Until one day, a production crew from a popular invention show arrives in the small mountain village to promote a new harvester and challenge Liu Xi, the village's biggest grain grower:

"What? You're still harvesting rice by hand? Your manual labor team is way behind the times!"

"And you're still relying on rain from the heavens to irrigate your fields? That's hopelessly outdated!"

Looks like the machine team will win the first round!

But when the results come in, the crew suddenly discovers:

The one harvesting rice in the fields is the Grim Reaper, scythe in hand!

The one making it rain from the sky is the Dragon King of the Four Seas!
