TN –
2nd additional release.
The sunrise on the city skyline was unexpectedly beautiful.
A soft golden glow gradually spread from the horizon, and the still-lit neon lights and street lamps gradually faded beneath the brilliance of the sun. The sky displayed a gradient of blue, with the top layer of indigo revealing a few faintly shining stars. The slightly cool breeze carried the fresh morning air and the sound of awakening into the ears. The city seemed to sleep in a cradle of velvet.
Huahua sighed and nudged Tiantian, who was leaning against her. “Wake up, the sun is rising.”
Watching the sunrise was Tiantian’s idea, and it’s a common scene in TV dramas to snuggle under a blanket on the top floor, watching the city gradually come to life. Typically, it’s accompanied by a glass of wine to set the mood. However, after a night of revelry and a sip of wine to help with sleep, Tiantian fell asleep before the sun rose. She was pushed and groaned by Huahua, burying her head in the blanket, not listening.
Huahua looked at Tiantian sleeping soundly and, as if infected by drowsiness, yawned and felt a bit groggy, her mind not fully awake.
Before entering the game, she was already on the night shift, and it had been over 24 hours since she last slept.
“If you’re tired, go to sleep. We’ll watch over you,” Xu Yintang said. He didn’t feel tired at all and felt like he could stay awake for another three days and nights.
Huahua looked around. Not only was Tiantian asleep, but Old Wang was also sprawled on the sofa, half of his body on the floor. He rolled over, and his entire body almost fell to the floor, but he didn’t wake up, just grumbled and pulled the blanket over his head.
It was hard to believe that just half an hour ago, everyone was full of energy, planning all the things they wanted to do once the sun came up. It turned out they were all exhausted and yawning.
Huahua yawned again, her tiredness apparent in her eyes. She accepted Xu Yintang’s suggestion and prepared to take a nap. Then she heard Xiao Qing say, “You guys can go sleep in the bed, I’ve prepared it for you.”
The comfortable bed looked extremely inviting to exhausted eyes. Huahua struggled to move Tiantian, who was dead asleep, and as their bodies touched the blankets, they both sank into the realm of dreams.
“… “
“Pfft.”
Xu Yintang glanced at Xiao Qing, who was laughing out loud. Xiao Qing covered his mouth with an innocent expression. “It’s really interesting,”
As he said this, he took out his mobile phone to take pictures. “Let me tell you, a friend’s embarrassing moments must be documented.”
In the photo, Huahua knelt by the bed in a perfect “orz” posture, while Tiantian, whom she had dragged all the way, hadn’t even reached the bed, and was rolling on the floor. She twisted and turned, grabbed Huahua’s thigh, and even drooled a bit in her sleep.
If no one intervened, they could sleep in this position forever.

Xu Yintang still didn’t understand how, in the process of tucking them in, he ended up with this situation. He took a pillow and put it in Tiantian’s arms to free Huahua. He also pulled Tiantian’s legs away and covered them both with the blanket. He carefully tucked them in, making sure they were comfortable.
Xiao Qing, holding his phone, couldn’t stop laughing. He decided to put this phone in his backpack because such a classic motherly gesture must be preserved for posterity. He was sure that anyone who saw this image would definitely want to call Xu Yintang “Mom.”
After all, he sometimes came home late, and his own mother would ignore him and occasionally kick him to get out of her way when she wanted to walk the dog, leaving him to find his own spot.
Oh, by the way, the person in front of them was still the heroic mother of two (emphasis on “biological”) monsters…
Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something and cleared her throat, reminding Xu Yintang that it might not be a good idea to casually mention this matter to the public. It’s not that there would be any danger, but the fact that he had children out of wedlock could be enough to make most modern humans with a fear of marriage and reproduction keep their distance. Especially with his knowledge of XP systems in modern women (and some men), if he didn’t tread carefully, the comments section on Xu Yintang’s posts might be filled with unmentionable remarks.
After all, Xu Yintang’s face vividly demonstrated how much detail was put by god into creating him. Even the highlights in his eyes seemed to shine a bit more than others. When he made eye contact, his gaze was so enchanting that anyone who looked at him couldn’t help but think that he had them in his heart.
Xiao Qing, seeing Xu Yintang’s innocent expression and lack of awareness about the outside world, sighed and patted his shoulder. “It’s okay, Dad’s got you.”
Xu Yintang repeated the word “Dad” with a gradually changing expression as he looked at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing had to explain that when he said “Dad,” he didn’t mean he wanted to be his father, but it was just a figure of speech to express his willingness to help a friend.
He then added that, in most cases, this “Dad” was just a playful term among friends, without ill intent. However, in specific situations, it could convey a sense of contempt or insult, so it depended on the context and the specific circumstances.
Blabbering explanations made it sound like a funeral speech.
“It’s okay,” Xu Yintang said, patting Xiao Qing’s hair and being understanding. “I know you mean no harm.”
If there were any ill intentions, his two “protective cubs” would have already sprung into action. How could they sleep so soundly and continue to snore even with these monsters looming?
Xiao Qing lifted his foot to avoid the tentacles that unconsciously swept over from Little Darling, and he felt that he had become accustomed to the terrifying scenes around him.
After spending the night surrounded by the terrifying aura emitted by the two cubs, he felt fully marinated and could remain calm even when entwined by tentacles. The level of horror was roughly equivalent to stepping into a snake pit in a crazy game dungeon, he thought.
Surprisingly, when looking closely at the wriggling tentacles, they did indeed resemble the giant snake pit in the mad game dungeon.
Xiao Qing carefully pushed the tentacles away with his slender fingers, and suddenly, he caught another foul smell in the room. It was as if someone had opened a durian in a room already filled with the stench of stinky tofu. The smell made him shudder and he turned to see Xu Yintang stuffing something yellow-green into a cup that had held cola.
“What are you doing…?” Xiao Qing remembered this foul durian-like odor, and when it was condensed tens of thousands of times, it was the stench that had sent him running with three consecutive failed Sanity checks in the Laura scene.
“I’m using a skill to make something.” The size of the cup was just right for the meat to be stuffed in, and Xu Yintang wiped the scissors and then sliced his wrist to pour his own blood into the cup.
[Using the skill “Daeis’s Power: Birth (Small).”]
[Testing for the original species… Monitoring the breeding environment…]
[Passed the test, entering the breeding phase…]
With the system prompts, a semi-transparent progress bar appeared above the meat in the cup, indicating “Blood Absorption in Progress.” The meat soaked up Xu Yintang’s blood like a sponge, with each absorption pushing the progress bar forward a little. It continued until the cup overflowed with blood, and the progress bar reached the end, flashing a few times and changing to “Breeding in Progress.”
The nauseating smell generated by the mixture of blood and meat made Xiao Qing unconsciously rub his temples. It felt as if Xu Yintang had microwaved an exploding durian in the room, and added to that was the constant noise from Little Darling and Second Treasure, filling his ears with various weird and terrifying noises. He became dizzy, and his head buzzed.
“Can you take that outside? It’s making me dizzy,” Xiao Qing pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice. At first, he had taken out gauze and alcohol wipes to deal with his teammate’s wound. However, when he saw how fast Xu Yintang’s wound was healing, he put those supplies away again. The rate of blood loss couldn’t keep up with the rate of healing, so Xu Yintang had to cut his wrist repeatedly to fill that cup with blood.
The meat chunks were now fully soaked in blood and had turned deep red. Xu Yintang carried the breeding cup out to the open balcony and opened the window to disperse the smell. Xiao Qing, pinching his nose, cautiously sniffed from a distance and finally released a sigh, returning to normal respiration.
He observed the dark concoction of meat and blood in the cup with curiosity. “Is this for poison or medicinal purposes?”
Xu Yintang shook his head. “It’s for breeding.”
“Okay,” Xiao Qing made a hand gesture to stop Xu Yintang from explaining further. “Speaking of this is enough. Don’t reveal too much about your skills to others. Otherwise, you might get into trouble.”
“Right,” Xu Yintang nodded and continued, “The seeds bred this way can parasitize other organisms. I plan to breed them and attach them to Feir.”
Sunlight fell on Xu Yintang’s face, and he smiled with warm, shining eyes. Xiao Qing quickly closed the door curtain to block the assault of his beauty from the opposite side, and then, after a few seconds, he peeked his head out from behind the curtain. He cleared his throat and teased, “In this day and age, you dare to have three kids? You’re from a wealthy family!”
“Well, it’s not me who’s giving birth,” Xu Yintang said, and he touched his lower abdomen. As the breeding progressed, the burning sensation in his previously empty and painful belly gradually subsided. It turned into a warm and comfortable feeling, spreading from his lower abdomen to his limbs and the rest of his body.
[Player’s Alienation, undergoing value check…]
[Player’s Constitution +3]
[Constitution: 74]
Xu Yintang lifted his shirt and picked up Second Treasure, who was sleeping soundly on his lower abdomen. He noticed that the web-like patterns on his lower abdomen hadn’t spread outward, but the color had deepened slightly. It also seemed like an illusion, but the patterns appeared to be more complex than before. Faintly, he could see a few tentacle-like patterns curling and swaying, moving in sync with his heartbeat.
Second Treasure had been sleeping soundly, but when his mother suddenly picked him up, he woke up and protested by wriggling. Xu Yintang observed the changes in the patterns on his lower abdomen and gently put Second Treasure back. He stroked the little one’s head and coaxed, “Good boy.”
So Second Treasure turned soft again, and he raised his head, asking for more attention from his mother. His tail wrapped around Xu Yintang’s wrist, showing his affection.
With such a well-behaved cub like this one, it certainly seemed worth raising another.
Xiao Qing asked, “So how long does it need to soak?”
Xu Yintang looked at the progress bar on the breeding cup and estimated the speed of progression. He replied, “Probably three to four days? This is my first time doing this.”
“Isn’t that a bit too long?” Xiao Qing asked. “Including today, we only have six days in this instance. What if the seeds don’t grow in time to take them with us? It could lead to a tragic separation between mother and child.”
Xu Yintang thought for a moment and agreed with Xiao Qing’s logical concern. He inquired, “Do you know of any way to accelerate the breeding process?”
“Um…” Xiao Qing contemplated, recalling his long-unused knowledge of chemistry. “Generally, to increase the reaction rate, you would raise the temperature and increase the concentration of reactants, right?”
Xu Yintang only had that piece of meat, and the blood was already filled to the brim. The reactant concentration couldn’t be increased. As for raising the temperature…
Xiao Qing looked around and his gaze landed on the barbecue grill they had used.
…
That’s why everyone woke up with the stench of rotten durian and felt like they were about to pass out. Old Wang, groggy, found his way to the balcony, where he saw Xiao Qing and Xu Yintang huddled together, seemingly cooking something. Xiao Qing was smiling with vacant eyes, as if he had transcended the mundane world.
Meanwhile, on the grill, the cup held a murky, viscous liquid with small sediments. Thick smoke billowed out, emitting a terrible odor.
Old Wang couldn’t help but blurt out, “Are you cooking crap?”
Author’s Note –
This incident tells us that chem experiments with strong odors should be conducted in open, well-ventilated areas without innocent bystanders. Also, some things may smell good but really shouldn’t be heated casually. [Looking into the distance]
Congratulations to Mother Xu Yingtang for hitting teammates again, although this time it’s mainly Xiao Qing’s fault. [Wiping tears]
Also, yesterday I saw some little angels asking about Mother Xu Yingtang’s measurements. Mother Xu Yingtang is 186cm tall with the standard body measurements of 106/74/96 [thumbs up].
