In the beginning, it wasn’t this stinky, at least it was at a level that Xiao Qing could tolerate.
But at the beginning, it wasn’t heated to boiling like this.
No matter how you look at it, what was in the breeding cup was Xu Yintang’s offspring. So at first, Xiao Qingand Xu Yintang cautiously raised the temperature just a little. After they noticed that the progress bar in the breeding cup was indeed moving faster, they continued to heat it.
Perhaps because the Feir seedling in the hotel sprouted in the midst of a fire sacrifice, the meat used by Xu Yintang for breeding not only did not fear the high temperature but became more active as the temperature increased. At the boiling state, it reached the highest rate of transformation. The meat dissolved in the blood, turning into a whole cup of thick, turbid, and constantly bubbling liquid. The sudden and intense stench caused Xiao Qing to lose consciousness.
Xu Yintang was also taken by surprise when the rolling thick smoke stung his eyes. He couldn’t see anything due to his tearing eyes. The intense stench made his head buzz.
[Player suffers a mental shock, checking values…]
[Sanity -1]
[Sanity: 81]
Xu Yintang didn’t realize that he had momentarily lost consciousness due to the stench. He shook his head and felt a throbbing pain in his temples. He heard Old Wang’s voice and reacted to what he was saying. During this one or two seconds of reaction time, Huahua and Tiantian were also awakened by the nightmarish stench.
Mumbling and grumbling, they came over, saying things like, “Did the toilet explode?” in response to the smell. Faced with the cup of sticky, bubbling substance, their thoughts matched astonishingly with Old Wang’s.
Is this not boiling feces?
Xu Yintang pulled Xiao Qingaway from the front line of the thick smoke and stench, and explained helplessly, “I did something with my skills, and the reaction time was too slow, so I thought of heating it up faster, but I didn’t expect it to be so stinky.”
“Why don’t you guys go to the restaurant for breakfast first? By the time you finish eating, it should be almost ready.”
Boiling to the point of stink was indeed very smelly, but the acceleration effect was even more remarkable. The progress bar shot forward at an incredible speed, now surpassing 80 and heading toward 90. At this rate, the team would have time to finish breakfast and clear their noses.
Apart from losing Sanity briefly after the initial stench, Xu Yintang found that he had adapted to the smell. However, it was clear that his teammates were not accustomed to the odor. They all had painful expressions, desperately trying not to vomit. Xiao Qing, with vacant eyes, urgently needed to breathe some fresh air in order to prevent any non-essential attrition outside of combat.
Xu Yintang offered to stay behind and work alone. The others agreed readily for two reasons: first, Xu Yintang was the least afraid of being alone in this team, and his combat capabilities were quite good. Second…
After being exposed to this terrible stench for a while, they all received a sanity check warning from the system.
Better cook it quickly,
Old Wang carried Xiao Qingon his back and took the lead, while Huahua and Tiantian quickly gathered essential items such as room keys and cell phones. Before leaving, they held Xu Yintang’s hand with a solemn tone as if bidding farewell to a comrade covering a retreat, “We’ll bring you breakfast!”

As usual, he didn’t suck anything out.
Xu Yintang reached into his clothes, took out Second Treasure, and handed him to Little Darling. Then, he returned to the balcony to continue guarding the breeding cup.
This stage of breeding is more like a chemical reaction of ‘a + b = c’ rather than the biological process of hatching chicks from eggs. Xu Yintang didn’t feel any signs of life in the breeding cup, but something was indeed forming in the bubbling viscous liquid.
Freshly awakened, Little Darling scooped up Second Treasure, who had been handed over by his mother, and expertly placed his little brother on his core body to soothe his emotions with soft tentacles.
At the same time, he slithered over to the balcony to sniff the contents of the breeding cup. The intensely foul odor that humans found unbearable was surprisingly pleasant and familiar in its sensory organs. The thick, rolling smoke almost had a substantial, sticky scent that made it feel like it was back in its mother’s womb.
When the progress bar reached around 90, the viscous liquid in the breeding cup gradually cleared. The thick smoke dissipated, replaced by clean white mist, and the intense foul odor in the air gradually transformed.
By the time the progress bar reached the end, the stench had turned into a different, delightful aroma, like a sunny and vibrant spring day with flowers blooming everywhere. It was like a gentle breeze had blown it into a cloud of fragrant sweetness.
Everything inside the breeding cup had disappeared, and the entire cup was as clean and bright as if it had been meticulously cleaned. However, Xu Yintang could feel something surrounding him, an invisible and tangible mist with a soft, smooth, and fluffy touch, like the downy chest of a bird, the tender petals of a rose, light and gentle. It brushed from his nose to his cheek, and when he reached out his hand, it obediently settled in his palm, leaving a trace of honey-like sweetness on his fingertips.
Second Treasure also sensed the presence of this mist. While Little Darling was still extending his tentacles into the breeding cup, trying to understand why there was suddenly nothing inside, Second Treasure had keenly detected the appearance of this scent. It huddled in his brother’s tentacles, carefully distinguishing the scent, and suddenly, it realized what Xu Yintang was doing.
Mom was going to raise a new baby!
Second Treasure’s round eyes rolled around, accurately locking onto the little schemer who hadn’t even been born yet but was already learning to act spoiled and compete for Mom’s attention. Then, he looked down at his silly brother, who was only bigger than him in terms of size. For a moment, a sense of crisis arose in his small body. He opened his mouth and made throaty sounds to get Xu Yintang’s attention, determined to protect his position in Mom’s heart, both for himself and his brother.
Second Treasure’s whining caused the mist, which was coiled around Xu Yintang’s hand, to hide in his clothes as if it had been frightened. The scent also became fainter and cooler, losing much of its sweetness. It looked pitiful, like damp air after rain.
At the same time, it circled Xu Yintang’s lower abdomen with an unusually clear goal, emitting a strong desire that Xu Yintang could clearly feel, even without any sound.
It wanted to go inside!
It wanted to be born in Mom’s belly!
The intensity of this desire made Xu Yintang’s internal organs twitch with pain, and it reminded him of how Second Treasure used to cry and throw tantrums even before he was born. However, Xu Yintang had never been the type of mother who spoiled her cubs. He frowned, plucked the mist from his clothes, and handed it over to Second Treasure, who seemed to be wronged and was about to be taught a lesson.
“This is…” Xu Yintang initially wanted to say “little brother,” but after remembering the unique sensation different from the previous two siblings, he corrected himself, “This is Flora. You older brothers need to teach it well.”
Little Darling, Second Treasure, and now Third Flora…
Xu Yintang’s naming skills remained as stable as ever.
But the fact that Third Flora had a name even before being born was something that Second Treasure found very unpleasant. In its consciousness, this stinky little brother was not only cunning but also annoying. It had just been thrown here and already turned into a pitiful little bundle, acting as if both it and its older brother were bullying it in front of Mom.
It wasn’t until this moment that Little Darling finally realized that the empty breeding cup had gone somewhere. He first patted his sulking little brother, then patted the hiccuping Third Flora, feeling that the burden on his shoulders as an older brother had increased once again.
How the offspring adjusted their relationships was never within Xu Yintang’s consideration. Teaching the younger one fell on the older one, and he packed the breeding set into the system backpack, ensuring that there would be no shortage of suitable tools for future breeding needs.
Afterward, Xu Yintang opened all the windows to let the accumulated stench dissipate from the room. He then took a shower in the bathroom, while Second Treasure, taking advantage of the moment when Mom wasn’t looking, oppressed Third Flora to serve as an air freshener.
The room that it had made stinky had to be made fragrant by itself. Unfortunately, Third Flora had not even been born yet and was already working hard. The small mist was inhaled and exhaled, and the foul smell in the air transformed into a fresh and subtle floral fragrance.
Whew, it’s so tiring…
Big Brother is so scary…
Mom… wants Mom…
Carrying the packed breakfast, Xiao Qing and the group were prepared to face another stink bomb assault. However, when they opened the door, they were greeted by a delightful fragrance that immediately lifted their spirits and made everything appear beautiful and radiant.
The pleasant aroma collectively elevated their sanity a little bit.
“This smells so good!” Tiantian took a deep whiff, her mouth curling into an ecstatic smile. She proudly raised the takeaway container in her hand, as if she were presenting the world to Xu Yintang. “Sugar Daddy, look! We’ve packed something really delicious for you!”
Tiantian loudly declared her affectionate nickname for Xu Yintang, causing Huahua, who was walking behind her, to instinctively step back. Looking at Tiantian’s ecstatic state, it seemed she was tipsy or under the influence of some kind of substance. Huahua didn’t want her to get too close to Xu Yintang, as it seemed like she might do something unrestrained.
Huahua pointed to her own head and bravely grabbed Tiantian’s collar, explaining the situation to Xu Yintang. “We encountered some unexpected issues while eating, and I’ve already given her medicine, but it hasn’t taken effect yet…”
“It’s okay.” Xu Yintang, inspired by Xiao Qing’s explanation about calling others father, smiled understandingly. “I get it.”
Even though Tiantian’s tone sounded a bit strange, her exuberant and harmless mood was apparent, so the term “Daddy” should be roughly equivalent to “father,” more like a playful joke between friends rather than a derogatory term.
Seeing Xu Yintang’s relaxed reaction, Huahua breathed a sigh of relief. She firmly held Tiantian’s reins and forced her to stay close to her; otherwise, this girl would undoubtedly approach Xu Yintang.
“I didn’t expect things to go wrong even when going to the restroom.”
Furthermore, the restroom she went to with Tiantian was a place she kept talking without stopping, and she only noticed something was wrong when Tiantian had been squatting inside for too long. However, she couldn’t have known that Tiantian was going to act this way, intoxicated and doing whatever came to her mind.
On the other side, Xiao Qing walked over, holding his still-dizzy head. He looked up and collapsed next to Xu Yintang, groaning, “Sugar Mommy, please let your second baby give me a health pat…”
He had caught his breath a bit after having breakfast but had to rush to the women’s restroom to rescue Tiantian when her condition worsened. Now his sense of smell was extremely confused, and he had a severe headache with a buzzing sound in his head. This wasn’t something he could bear with his fragile sanity of 28. If it weren’t for the two bottles of medicine, Xu Yintang might have lost his dear father (not).
He made those weird cries all the way from his mouth, calling her Sugar Mommy, Sugar Daddy, Mommy, and Daddy, only stopping when Xu Yintang put Second Treasure on his face.
Huahua sighed and briefly mentioned the perilous breakfast, then asked Xu Yintang, “By the way, do you want this? The situation isn’t very good, and your kid might not be able to eat…”
She reached into her system backpack and pulled out a long, yellow-green piece of meat—yes, it was the original material for Third Flora, the meat chunk with plant-like tentacles hanging from it. The whole piece of meat looked especially pale, a bit discolored and wilted.
Huahua felt a bit embarrassed as she explained, “I got a bit anxious and used a bucket of herbicide to enter… it’s not guaranteed that your kid can eat it…”
The intense pesticide could double as wolf repellent and, in special cases, could also be used to poison. It was an inexpensive and versatile item, and many players carried it in their backpacks. Huahua had even used the lab’s equipment to concentrate it further. In her haste, she had dumped a 20-liter bucket of concentrated liquid into the meat chunk’s mouth to rescue Tiantian. As a result, the meat turned yellow and limp.
The two kids could definitely eat this meat, but before Xu Yintang could express his opinion, Mr. Fairman carefully poked his head in and said, “Uh, your door isn’t closed…”
When he saw the meat chunk in Huahua’s hand, his voice choked in his throat, and he inhaled sharply, sitting down on the floor and drawing a sharp breath.
Author’s Note –
Everyone, welcome Third Flora for her shining debut!
Mother Xu Yingtang failed the Sanity Check again this time, but luckily, he’s still sane. On the other side, Tiantian also faced a sudden attack, but teammates came to the rescue in time.
Didn’t expect Huahua to carry pesticides on her, hahaha, players really have everything these days. And, to be honest, the cost-effectiveness of pesticides is really high.
On Taobao, nine enemies are killed with just 32 RMB, and if you buy more, you can even negotiate the price. In contrast, a bottle of wolf-repellent spray (60ml) costs 68 RMB. Of course, it’s not recommended to do this in real life as pesticides are too toxic.
Welcome Third Flora!! Don’t mind Second Darling, he’s a little jealous but he’ll be fine!
Woohoo! Love the babies haha
Thank you for the chapter💚💚💚💚
I love how everyone in the team is gradually mutating (er, adapting?), to Xu Yingtang haha.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for translating the Author notes, they are truly remarkable
Little Darling is probably wondering how many kids mom is going to produce and handover for raising to him; Second Treasure is peeved in losing “baby of the family” status; Aunties and Uncles are just happy the stench is gone…LMAO. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
Welcome to the little mist, Third Flora!
Darling is a boy, Treasure is also a boy so that means Flora is the first girl
