Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Chapter 4 My sister wants a French kiss

Upon hearing the system notification, Cheng Zhuo was so overjoyed that his whole body trembled slightly.

She was born eighteen years ago.

The standard equipment for time travelers has finally arrived!?

A harmonious system?

It sounds very serious.

"Now is not the time for research," he said, suppressing his excitement. He glanced at the three women and calmly replied:

"Let's go register first!"

"Um!"

The three women happily agreed.

On her way to the registration window of the Department of Childbearing, Cheng Zhuo realized that she didn't know the twins' names.

It's ridiculous that we're supposed to register our marriage on our first meeting, after barely exchanging a few words.

Or perhaps this world is just too absurd.

After the heterochromatic-eyed girl gave a long, chattering introduction.

Cheng Zhuo quickly learned something about the twin sisters.

Like Cheng Zhuo, their Origin Cards were all of Rank F.

The girl with heterochromia is named Xia Chan, and she is the younger sister.

Her awakened primal card is the Petrifying Gaze, a Medusa-like ability that can petrify anything she sees.

The problem is, she was born blind and can't see anything.

The silver-haired, speechless woman is the older sister, Xia Mo. Her awakened Origin Card is Beast Speaker, which, simply put, means she can communicate with and tame exotic beasts.

What a coincidence, she can't speak. (It's a language center issue; she can hear.)

Even without defects, twin sisters' F-grade white origin cards aren't much stronger than ordinary people's.

In this world, after awakening the Origin Card, one needs to fuse with an Origin Card called the "Breathing Meditation Card" and complete the Lighthouse Contract in order to officially become a Card Cultivator and grow further.

Source cards, also known as Source Power cards, can be divided into the following categories according to their grade:

Inferior (gray), Common (white), Good (green), Premium (blue), Epic (purple), Legendary (orange), Mythical (red).

F-rank Origin Cards like Cheng Zhuo and the twins have very weak initial Origin Skills and almost no ability to sense Origin Power. They need to fuse with at least an Epic-rank or higher Breathing Meditation Card to absorb Origin Power.

However, epic-level breathing meditation cards often cost millions, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.

Moreover, even if an F-rank uses an epic meditation card to become a card master, the first tier is basically the limit.

Therefore, within Tower City, only those of rank E or higher can become a Kashu.

F-level is at most an ordinary person with some acrobatic skills.

They are quite good at performing during festivals and holidays.

……

￥￥￥￥￥￥

After a while.

Cheng Zhuo led the three women through the activity hall to the marriage registration office of the Department of Childbearing.

At this time, a long queue had already formed at the check-in and registration window.

Today is Cheng Zhuo's first time participating in an official marriage matchmaking event, but many people are doing it for the third time, so there are quite a few people registering for marriage.

Among the long queues, there were quite a few people with worried expressions.

Obviously,

Most of these people were forcibly matched by the authorities using AI algorithms.

The registration process included one step just like in Cheng Zhuo's previous life: a premarital medical examination.

The primary purpose is to document genetic, infectious diseases, genetic and disability issues.

Unlike the policy of concealing some infectious diseases in the previous life,

Any questions here will be answered on the spot.

For cases that are treatable, the premarital checkup center will recommend treatment before registration; otherwise, the couple will not be able to receive the marriage resettlement housing and the newlywed subsidy.

Taking advantage of the break while queuing,

Cheng Zhuo quietly opened the system panel—

[Owner: Cheng Zhuo]

[Realm Level: 0]

【Strength: 5】

[Agility: 5]

【Spirit: 8】

[Physical Fitness: 5]

Luck: 8

Number of partners: 0/3

[Harmonious Union Reward: To be unlocked, please complete the first contract]

[Space: Newlywed Blessing Gift Pack]

[Exploration Function: To be unlocked, please complete the verification process]

[Harmony Value Feature: To be unlocked; please complete the verification process]

[Note: The harmony between human emotions and the physical body is a unique energy of this species. Your passionate entanglements with each contracted partner will become a source of energy for the system.]

Through the system annotations, Cheng Zhuo learned that 3 was the upper limit of the number of partners he could currently contract with, and this limit would increase as his cultivation level improved.

The so-called reward for harmonious music is...

You need to achieve spiritual and physical union with your partner to receive it.

If your partner changes their mind, the contract will automatically expire, and Harmony will no longer provide rewards.

It's a system where having multiple wives brings good fortune, but it's not simply a system where you get stronger through sex.

Cheng Zhuo was really looking forward to the Heming reward.

But clearly, this matter cannot be rushed.

Although poor people don't pay much attention to weddings these days, they still need to wait until they have settled into their new house and have a small ceremony.

Cheng Zhuo's gaze fell on the glittering treasure chest in the space. Knowing that opening it within the system would not be detected by outsiders, he immediately silently recited:

"Open the gift pack."

"Congratulations, Master, you have received a blessing: All attributes +10"

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the Breathing Meditation Card - Demonic Dragon's Breath - Mythical Grade (Red)"

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining the enhancement of your Origin Skill."

"Please enter the cultivation system as soon as possible."

A series of system notification sounds rang out.

Cheng Zhuo suddenly felt a surge of heat gushing from his chest, rapidly coursing through his limbs and bones, bringing waves of stinging and burning sensations.

He instinctively clenched his fist.

Seeing Cheng Zhuo trembling slightly, Ruan Qinghe beside him thought he was nervous...

She then silently gripped his hand tightly.

The system's attribute values were gradually increasing, and Cheng Zhuo's body was also changing rapidly, with his muscles and bones even emitting faint cracking sounds.

The ten-point attribute boost was completed in less than half a minute.

Cheng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly happy.

He felt full of energy, and the fatigue caused by the sleepless night was completely gone.

What surprised him even more was—

He actually obtained a mythical breathing meditation card.

Mythical level...

If the history books of the Void Realm haven't concealed anything, this level has only appeared once in the last two hundred years!

With this mythical-level breathing meditation card, becoming a card master is no longer a pipe dream for him!

As for the enhancement of the original technique, it is not convenient for him to investigate at the moment.

He was very curious about how the system would enhance his sand cat.

"Cheng Zhuo, are you alright?"

Ruan Qinghe looked at Cheng Zhuo with some concern. She noticed that Cheng Zhuo was sweating a lot and his breathing was a little rapid.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Cheng Zhuo seemed to have grown a little taller...

"It's alright." Cheng Zhuo gave a relieved smile, then joked:

"Cheng Zhuo... classmate? Aren't you going to change how you address me?"

"what?"

A blush crept onto Ruan Qinghe's cheeks again.

She lowered her head slightly flustered, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and glanced at the twin sisters beside her.

Xia Mo remained indifferent.

Xia Chan raised her eyebrows, her eyes curving into crescents.

For some reason, even though she couldn't see with her heterochromatic eyes, Ruan Qinghe felt that she saw right through her, her eyes full of mockery.

With her face flushed like ripe cherry blossoms, Ruan Qinghe looked up at Cheng Zhuo.

She pursed her red lips, holding back for a long time but unable to utter the two words in her heart, only managing a whisper:

"Brother Cheng...?"

The address was soft and gentle, carrying the shyness unique to young girls, like a feather gently brushing against Cheng Zhuo's heart, making him feel sweet and tender.

He couldn't help but feel delighted and affectionately patted her head.

This action made Ruan Qinghe's face blush even more beautifully.

However, she did not dodge.

Instead, she tiptoed and boldly gave Cheng Zhuo a light kiss on the cheek.

"Ew~~~"

Xia Chan let out a strange cry, then, with a mocking expression, nudged her older sister Xia Mo and chuckled:

"Brother Cheng Zhuo, my sister said she also wants to try a French kiss!"

Xia Mo's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

He glanced at Cheng Zhuo in a panic, shook his head repeatedly, and turned to hit Xia Chan.

Xia Chan giggled and dodged around Cheng Zhuo and Ruan Qinghe.

Ruan Qinghe chuckled and said reproachfully:

"Little Chanchan, you're pretending you can't see, aren't you?"

Cheng Zhuo's lips unconsciously curled up as he watched this scene with doting affection.

He felt he was perhaps too lucky.

The men and women around them cast envious or jealous glances their way.

A handsome young man registering with three beautiful young women filled many people with envy.

Cheng Zhuo could faintly hear sarcastic remarks such as "brainless looks-obsessed", "will starve to death sooner or later", and "they're just so-so-good-looking".

But he didn't care at all.

People are only truly hurt by ridicule when they are missing something.

Cheng Zhuo is clearly not one of them.

"Next."

The mechanical sound from the registration window interrupted Cheng Zhuo's daze.

He and the three women stepped into a testing machine in order, as required.

The results came out in just a few seconds.

As expected, neither he nor Ruan Qinghe had any problems and could register normally to receive the subsidy.

Xia Mo and Xia Chan were labeled with genetic abnormalities.

They can register their marriage, but they are not entitled to a newlywed allowance.

Unless they get cybernetic eyeballs and voice generators installed before registering, but that kind of surgery is too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands, which is obviously beyond the reach of the four of them.

Even knowing this would be the outcome, the two women still looked somewhat dejected.

Even the lively cicadas have fallen silent.

"It's okay. Once I become a Kashu, I'll definitely find a way to heal you." Ruan Qinghe clenched her fists to encourage herself.

Cheng Zhuo nodded: "That's right, I will also find a way to cure you."

With the system in place, Cheng Zhuo had this confidence.

At the very least, he could earn more money to pay for their surgeries.

"Okay, sure."

The two women nodded in unison, not holding out much hope, but feeling a warm glow inside.

Cheng Zhuo pulled the three women into his arms:

"Don't be discouraged, smile, let's go take our wedding photos!"

The intelligent process is very fast.

Including queuing, they completed the registration in less than half an hour.
