Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

The elderly women also clearly heard the chilling survival rules they had just heard.

Sighs rose and fell in waves from the crowd.

Some of them slumped down on the muddy grass, while others leaned against rough tree trunks, supporting each other as they looked at each other. Their cloudy eyes were filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.

We've all lived most of our lives.

Among them, some toiled their whole lives to make a living, while others worried themselves sick over their children.

After raising their children with great difficulty, watching them get married and start their own careers, they now watch with bated breath as their granddaughter is admitted to university.

Having finally endured the hardships, I thought I could finally enjoy a few years of peace and quiet and prepare to spend my old age in comfort.

Who would have thought that fate would play such a cruel joke at this time?

Isn't this just pure torture?

For young people in their twenties and thirties, arriving on this deserted island might allow them to rely on their physical strength to fight and try their luck.

But for these elderly, weak, sick and disabled women, climbing three floors usually takes them a long time to catch their breath, and some of them can't even walk steadily and need to use canes.

Making them survive on a deserted island where monsters could spawn at any moment is no different from a death sentence.

A sense of despair spread rapidly among the elderly.

However, their gazes soon shifted from each other and turned to Jiang Che, who was standing in the center of the crowd.

After all, we're all practically half-buried in the ground. Having experienced the changes of the times and the harsh realities of life, we've long since come to terms with death.

If we were to die on this unknown deserted island, it would be our fate, and we could just consider it a few years of less suffering.

However, the current situation is different.

Besides the twenty old women present, there was also a vibrant young person.

Earlier in the multimedia classroom, the kind old lady in the dark red floral coat who was the first to speak to Jiang Che stood up slowly and with difficulty, supported by an old friend next to her.

She patted her mud-covered trouser legs and walked unsteadily to Jiang Che.

She raised her head, and on her face, etched with the wrinkles of time, she managed a gentle smile.

"Xiao Jiang."

Seeing this, Jiang Che quickly stepped forward and firmly supported the old woman's arms with both hands: "Grandma, slow down, what do you want to say?"

"Xiao Jiang, you're a good boy." The old lady looked at Jiang Che's young face and said earnestly, her tone carrying a calmness that seemed to accept death. "You're still young, you've just been admitted to university, your life has just begun. If something unexpected happens later, if you really encounter one of those monsters mentioned in the rules, remember, don't worry about us old bones."

"You're fast on your feet, so run! Your survival is the most important thing, understand?"

These words caused a brief moment of silence in the dim woods.

Immediately afterwards, all the other grandmothers around nodded and loudly echoed their agreement.

"Yes, Xiao Jiang, don't worry about us. We can't run, you'll just be a burden if you take us with you."

"We old folks have lived enough; it doesn't matter whether we die early or late. But you can't. It would be such a waste if you died at such a young age."

"Xiao Jiang, if there's any real danger later, we old guys may be useless, but we can still risk our lives to hold off the monsters for you for a while. Just take off running as fast as you can and don't look back!"

Simple, straightforward, yet incredibly heavy words echoed through this cold, gloomy forest.

In the eyes of these elderly women, Jiang Che was a child the same age as their granddaughter.

It is absolutely unacceptable for a fine young man to sacrifice his life to protect a group of elderly women.

They would rather be eaten by the monster themselves than waste time giving Jiang Che a chance to escape.

Jiang Che stood quietly in place, listening to the old people's words of advice.

Seeing the genuine and sincere concern in their eyes, Jiang Che felt a profound and intense emotion.

Just half an hour earlier, in the classroom, he was actually complaining in his heart and resisting being with these grandmothers.

He felt that taking care of the elderly was a troublesome matter, and he kept hoping that time would pass quickly so that he could get them to the auditorium and finish his task.

But he never expected that when this survival game on a deserted island, in which he could die at any moment, actually came to pass, when faced with the immense fear of the unknown and death, the first thing these grandmothers, who were not related to him, thought of was sacrificing themselves so that he, this young man, could live well.

Jiang Che felt a lump in his throat, and a strong sense of shame and self-reproach welled up in his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and made a vow in his heart.

He made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was to survive on this deserted island, no matter what kind of monsters they might encounter, he didn't want anyone here to die if he could.

He not only had to survive himself, but also had to protect all twenty elderly women, ensuring that none of them were left behind!

Seeing Jiang Che lower his head and remain silent, the group of grandmothers assumed that he was reluctant to abandon them, so they tried to continue to persuade him.

Jiang Che took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and quickly raised his head, forcefully interrupting them and loudly changing the subject: "Grandmas, don't say such discouraging things! It's too early to talk about life and death now."

He forced a relaxed and confident smile, trying to make his voice sound steady and strong: "Didn't the rules just say it clearly? Everyone will awaken a talent! Instead of waiting to die here, let's see what our talents are."

"Maybe we'll get lucky, and one of you will awaken an incredibly powerful talent. In that case, not only will we not die, but we can also help me survive safely on this deserted island!"

Hearing Jiang Che's optimistic words, many grandmothers did not feel much comfort; instead, they all sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, Xiao Jiang, don't bother trying to comfort us."

"Yeah, what's the use of awakening even the best talent?"

"We're all this age, our bodies can't keep up anymore. Look at us, most of us are frail and sickly, we get out of breath after just a few steps. Even if we were given the abilities of a god, we couldn't use these bodies."

The elderly people shook their heads, having no hope whatsoever for the so-called "talent".

However, under Jiang Che's constant encouragement and urging, and not wanting to spoil the young man's fun, the elders still followed the prompts that suddenly appeared in their minds and began to try to check their attribute panels.

Soon, a series of notification sounds rang in everyone's ears, accompanied by flashes of light emanating from the grandmothers' bodies.

In the silent forest, the grandmothers' surprised voices rang out.

"Oh dear, it says here... I have an A-level construction talent. It says that anything I help build can improve the attributes of the building?" The old lady who handed him the oranges earlier stared in astonishment at the empty space in front of her.

"Mine is even stranger! It shows I have S-rank combat talent!" An elderly woman, who looked the weakest and was leaning on a wooden cane, exclaimed in surprise. Her withered hands gripped the cane tightly, which trembled slightly with confusion. "I can't even hold a cane properly, and you want me to fight?"

"I have an A-level pharmacist talent, which means I can identify various herbs to make potions."

"I possess an S-rank plant affinity talent..."

"I have an A-level talent for resource gathering..."

One by one, the grandmothers announced their talent levels and names displayed on their panels.

Jiang Che stood to the side, listening intently. The more he listened, the wider his eyes became.

Jiang Che was completely stunned when the last grandmother finished announcing her talent.

He was utterly shocked to discover that the talents awakened by these twenty old ladies were all at or above Grade A!

Among them, several are even extremely rare S-level talents!

If judged solely from the perspective of luck, this team's luck is simply exceptional, even defying the heavens!

This is absolutely an exceptional, god-like team configuration.

Some were responsible for construction, some for main combat operations, some for medical treatment, and others for logistical support.

but!

Reality is just that cruel.

The people who possessed this exceptional talent set were not some strong and robust young people, but a total of 20 elderly women who were completely powerless!

That's really sad.

As the grandmothers themselves just said, even if you awaken the most advanced S-level combat talent, how much combat power can it exert on an old grandmother who is using a cane and suffers from rheumatism and bone pain?

If the old lady throws a punch at the monster, the monster might be fine, but she'll probably hurt her back first.

This exceptionally high talent stat cannot compensate for the fatal flaw caused by his terrible physical attributes.

Looking at this group of elderly people who had awakened the most advanced survival skills, yet still had to lean against tree trunks to catch their breath after standing for a long time, Jiang Che's mood became extremely heavy.

If, at this very moment, some monster suddenly spawns on this deserted island, their so-called "top-tier talent" team would be utterly powerless to resist.

It's very possible that in just one encounter, more than half of the team will be killed or wounded.

"Xiao Jiang, what's your talent?"

The grandmother, wearing a floral coat, turned around and looked at him with concern, asking, "You're so young, you must have awakened a talent far greater than ours, right?"

Hearing his grandmother's words, Jiang Che took a deep breath and focused his attention on his mind.

Yes, since his teammate's physical condition cannot be changed, the team's only hope for survival now rests on his own talent.

If he can awaken a powerful combat or defensive talent, combined with the grandmothers' skills, he might actually be able to protect everyone and help them survive on this deserted island.

A virtual panel radiating dazzling golden light popped up directly in Jiang Che's line of sight.

Upon seeing the three glittering "S"s at the very top of the panel, Jiang Che's breath caught in his throat, and his heart began to pound wildly.

SSS Rank!

It actually surpasses S-rank, it's the legendary SSS-rank talent! This is absolutely top-tier!

Jiang Che was so excited that his hands were trembling. Overwhelmed with indescribable joy, he quickly looked down to see the specific effects of the talent.

however.

When Jiang Che clearly saw the specific name of the talent and the two lines of effect description, the expression of wild joy on his face instantly froze.

He was stunned, as if struck by lightning. His pupils contracted violently, his mind went blank, and he stood there dumbfounded.

[Talent: Many children, many blessings]

[Quality: SSS]

[Effect 1: Whenever the host engages in sexual intercourse with another person, both parties will receive an increase in various attributes and a random reward afterward.]

[Effect 2: If the mating partner becomes pregnant and gives birth, the host receives a huge reward, and the mating partner awakens a talent skill.]

Jiang Che stared blankly at the text on the virtual panel, reading it over and over again three times.

Make sure you haven't misread a single word.

"Intercourse?"

"Pregnant?"

"Give birth?"

Jiang Che felt his vision blurring and his mind buzzing.

Is this even reasonable?!

What serious survival game on a deserted island would give out such outrageous talents?!

Jiang Che turned his head stiffly, like a rusty gear, and stared blankly at his surroundings.

Good news: He has awakened an SSS-level talent, bringing him many children and much happiness! With proper handling, he can become infinitely stronger!

The bad news: Now, he only has twenty old ladies by his side.
