Chapter 7 Trigger.

The sudden exclamation startled Lu Xia, and he even doubted what he had heard.

Pregnant?
Her?

The eight people standing in front of her at this moment were looking at her with incredible eyes, as if they were looking at some rare creature.

"Why do you think so?" After his mood quickly calmed down, Lu Xia asked his doubts.

The young orc who had just spoken pointed at the flashing indicator light on her wrist: "Isn't this supposed to indicate whether or not you're pregnant?"

Although there has not been a naturally conceived female in the empire for hundreds of years, the purpose of this indicator light on the terminal is deeply engraved in the hearts of every citizen.

He would never make a mistake.

After all, the Empire attaches great importance to whether there are females who conceive naturally.

This small indicator light was flashing frequently in front of their eyes at this moment, bringing with it an incredible miracle.

Lu Xia was stunned for a second after hearing this explanation, then laughed and said, "Are you kidding? Is it not possible that my terminal is faulty?"

Uh... this possibility may also exist.

Without giving them much time to think about this, Lu Xia said naturally, "Alright, you can go back now. Wait until the dormitory here is cleaned up. If you don't want to go back in the future, you can live here. We're dismissed now."

After saying this, Lu Xia didn't waste a second and turned around and quickly walked out of the meeting room.

The old housekeeper stood outside the door for a long time. When he saw Lu Xia coming out, he was about to ask where to go next when he heard Lu Xia say, "Go buy a few more terminals, the latest models."

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Xia needed so many terminals for, but he didn't ask the reason. After nodding, he hurried to deal with the matter.

After spending these days with Lu Xia, the old housekeeper finally accepted Lu Xia's various unusual behaviors.

Maybe it was because he had been shocked too many times, he no longer wanted to know the reason as much as he did at the beginning, and Lu Xia was not a female who liked to explain, she just wanted the result.

After the old butler left, Lu Xia returned to the hovercraft, turned on the terminal, and searched what the terminal indicator light flashing green meant.
Even though she appeared calm and natural in front of the eight people, it doesn't mean that she didn't care about it deep down in her heart.

Pregnant?
How can it be?

Isn't it said that 'defective' males cannot conceive?

Besides, there hasn't been any natural conception in the empire for many years. Now the empire's population growth depends entirely on "artificial", okay?
Just as she was harboring doubts in her heart, the answer to her search appeared - Terminal indicator light description: used to indicate that the female has successfully conceived.

This brief explanation indicated that the man had not lied.

She didn't understand what this indicator light did, but it really did indicate successful conception.

Oh, why is there such a weird design!

It couldn't possibly be a malfunction, it had to be a malfunction! How could she possibly be pregnant?
Just when Lu Xia was doubting his life, the old butler came back with several terminals in his arms: "Your Excellency the Duke, what you want..."

Before the old butler could finish, Lu Xia reached out and took the terminal from him: "Okay, give it to me. You've worked hard."

"It's not hard. This is what I should do." After the old butler said this in a formal manner, he watched Lu Xia take off the terminal on his wrist and began to try on the terminals he bought one by one. Then he watched as all the terminals that had been worn flashed green lights in unison.

Uncontrollable shock appeared in his eyes. Even though the old butler pretended to be calm, he couldn't control it. What did he see?
The warning light that existed but never had any effect was actually flashing!
It turns out that this thing is really not just for decoration!

What does this mean? Does this mean that Duke Lu Xia is pregnant?

After trying dozens of terminals and getting the same result, Lu Xia resigned herself to her fate. She looked up at the old housekeeper, who couldn't hide his shock, and asked, "Do you also think I'm pregnant?"

"No, but, this..." The old butler was so shocked that he was incoherent for a moment. At this moment, his mind was blank and he could no longer think about what to say or do. He just stared at the terminal on Lu Xia's wrist.

As long as you are a citizen of the empire, everyone knows what the only indicator light on this terminal indicates. You may not remember it on a normal day, but once it flashes, no one can ignore its role.

Although the old butler behaved uncharacteristically, Lu Xia still got the answer from his shocked expression.

It seems like everyone thinks she’s pregnant now!

"Let's go home." She said calmly, but in her heart she was thinking whether she should find time to go to the hospital for a check-up. Even if it was true, she couldn't trust a terminal test.

"Your Excellency, the people from the Fertility Research Institute may find you soon." The old housekeeper finally came to his senses, but what he said made Lu Xia's heart skip a beat. "What do you mean?"

While trying to calm his inner shock, the old butler explained, "This detection function on the terminal is connected to the Imperial Fertility Research Institute. Once it's triggered, there's no way the Fertility Research Institute wouldn't know about it. It's just a matter of time."

"..." Lu Xia was really speechless at this moment. In other words, the news of her 'pregnancy' had been spread?

*
At this time, in the Imperial Fertility Research Institute, the researcher in charge of monitoring "natural conception" yawned out of boredom. It happened to be his turn to be on duty here today. For these researchers, this monitoring work was equivalent to "taking a break on duty".

After all, this monitoring system has existed for the past few hundred years, and the researchers in charge of monitoring have been rotated countless times, but have never received any feedback.

Many people even think that this monitoring system is no longer necessary and should be abolished as soon as possible, so as to save money for other research projects.

Rather than wasting money on a monitoring that is unlikely to produce results.

The fact is, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for a female in the Empire to conceive naturally.

Over the past few hundred years, females have been replaced, and perhaps the genes that allow natural conception have long disappeared from the bodies of all orcs.

There is no point in continuing the research.

"Link, are you on duty here today? I just happened to order takeout, so why don't we eat together?"

When his name was suddenly called, Link, who was bored, turned around and replied with a smile: "Then I won't be polite. I was just thinking of ordering some food to kill time."

"Yes, in my opinion, it is better to abolish this monitoring as soon as possible. If it goes on like this, it will not..." The person who spoke stopped speaking abruptly, and his calm eyes were replaced by shock. What did he see? The indicator light indicating natural conception lit up!
Not only that, the shrill sound of sirens resounded throughout the entire institute!
