"Xiao Jiang, don't be discouraged. It's okay if you're a little less talented. Your advantage is your youth."

"Yes, yes, you're healthy, much stronger than us old bones, you'll definitely survive."

Everyone saw Jiang Che staring intently at the void before him, his expression constantly changing before finally settling on a look of astonishment, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The old ladies thought he had awakened some useless, worthless talent, and unable to bear the blow, they quickly offered their own words of comfort.

As Jiang Che listened to the sincere words of concern, and glanced at the brightly lit words "Many Children, Many Blessings" on the panel, along with the detailed descriptions of the effects of "intercourse" and "pregnancy," he sighed deeply.

He opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped.

Faced with these twenty grandmothers who were more than fifty years older than him, he really didn't know how to explain his outrageous talent.

In the end, Jiang Che chose to keep quiet and did not reveal his true talent, since it would feel too strange to talk about it in the current situation.

However, just as Jiang Che was about to gloss over the matter and keep it a secret for as long as possible, the notification sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears again.

[Team talent awakening complete.]

The team system is now enabled.

Each team member can view the stats and talent details of all teammates in the current team through the team panel.

Upon hearing these announcements, Jiang Che abruptly looked up, only to be dumbfounded once again.

"No way, buddy, are you kidding me?" Jiang Che roared inwardly.

Why did they have to open the team control panel at this particular time of year?

And they can even view each other's talent details?

Wouldn't that expose his SSS-level talent?

Is this trying to kill me?!

Jiang Che stiffly turned his neck to look at the elderly women around him.

Sure enough, as soon as the notification sound ended, the grandmothers, out of curiosity, opened the so-called team panel one after another.

The next second, the elderly women who had been discussing each other's talents suddenly fell silent.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Jiang Che clearly saw that after several elderly women looked at the panel, their originally kind faces instantly froze, and then they revealed strange expressions.

Their gazes swept back and forth between the panel and Jiang Che's face, their eyes filled with shock, embarrassment, and a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

Clearly, they all saw Jiang Che's name prominently displayed at the top of the team list, along with the SSS-level talent "Many Children, Many Blessings" and the straightforward description of its effects.

There was a deathly silence all around.

It took a while before the grandmother in the floral coat finally reacted.

She gave a dry laugh, her gaze shifting away somewhat evasively.

"Ahem, well... the weather on this deserted island looks pretty gloomy today."

"Yeah, yeah, it looks like it's going to rain."

"Let's quickly see if there's anything usable around here."

Everyone tacitly agreed to skip over this extremely awkward topic, and no one mentioned Jiang Che's talent.

Jiang Che covered his face with his hands, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Jiang Che's mind again, interrupting his awkwardness.

[Host has been detected to have awakened an SSS-level talent. Therefore, an exclusive SSS-level newbie gift pack is being issued.]

[The new player gift pack has been sent; please check it.]

Jiang Che's spirits lifted.

He immediately realized that this newbie gift pack was a special privilege that only those who had awakened the most outstanding SSS-level talent could enjoy.

The other grandmothers who awakened S-level and A-level talents did not receive any notification about the gift pack at all.

Jiang Che immediately silently ordered in his mind to open the gift package.

[New player gift pack successfully activated.]

[Granted: Permission to open the dimensional space.]

[Received: Basic Safe House Blueprint x1.]

[Obtained: Fountain of Youth x1.]

Jiang Che quickly glanced at the three reward messages that popped up in front of him.

This dimensional space is equivalent to the system inventory in an online game.

Jiang Che tried it out and found that there was a huge space inside, where he could store and retrieve items at any time using his mind, and the stored items would not spoil.

On this resource-scarce deserted island, having a portable giant warehouse to store supplies is an incredibly useful skill.

The importance of basic safe house blueprints goes without saying.

The system rules clearly state that monsters will spawn on this deserted island at irregular intervals.

Sleeping outdoors in such a dangerous place is tantamount to courting death.

Once you collect the materials required by the blueprint, you can build a dwelling with defensive attributes with a single click, which is crucial for the survival of the entire team.

As for the last item, the one called "Fountain of Youth," Jiang Che had some doubts.

He immediately focused his attention on the small, clear glass bottle containing green liquid in his inventory and began to check the details of the Fountain of Youth.

【Item Name: Fountain of Youth】

[Item Rarity: Epic]

[Item Effect: After taking this potion, all ailments and hidden injuries in the body can be eliminated, and the user's body will immediately regress to its peak state of 18 years old.]

The moment Jiang Che saw the description, he was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming with intense light.

This is an absolutely amazing and incredible item!

Returning to the age of eighteen! For any human being, wouldn't that be equivalent to having flesh and blood grow back, rejuvenating, and living another life?

More importantly, this medicine was the key to breaking the deadlock in this team of twenty elderly women!

He was just worried because he was surrounded by a group of old women who had awakened powerful A-level or even S-level talents, but whose bodies were extremely old and weak and unable to exert their talents.

If any grandmother were to drink this bottle of the Fountain of Youth, her body would return to that of an eighteen-year-old, restoring her youthful strength, energy, and agility, allowing her to perfectly unleash her powerful A-grade or higher talent!

"What a pity, there's only one bottle." Jiang Che frowned slightly as he looked at the lonely little bottle in his inventory.

He began to fall into a deep dilemma.

There is only one potion, which means he can only choose one person from the team.

Who should be given this precious potion to maximize its effectiveness on this perilous desert island and protect everyone's survival?

Is it for that grandmother who awakened her S-level construction talent, so she can quickly build a shelter?

Or should we give it to that S-level plant-friendly grandma, so she can control the plants in the forest to protect everyone?

Or perhaps it's for my grandmother, who has a talent for pharmacy?

Just as Jiang Che was rapidly calculating and extremely conflicted in his mind...

"Awooo—"

A shrill, ferocious, and savage wolf howl suddenly erupted from the depths of the bushes ahead!

The sound was incredibly penetrating, echoing through the silent forest and instantly shattering all tranquility.

The next second, the crowd, who had been awkwardly trying to find a topic of conversation, suddenly erupted into chaos.

"Wolves! I heard wolves howling!"

"Is it the monster mentioned in the system rules that has appeared?"

"What do we do? What do we do?! We're going to die!"

"Xiao Jiang! Xiao Jiang, you're fast! Run! Don't worry about us!"

The elderly women were terrified; some collapsed to the ground in fear, while others huddled together, trembling.

The shadow of death instantly enveloped everyone.

The moment Jiang Che heard the wolf howl, he was jolted awake from his entanglement.

He frowned deeply, and after a brief moment of blankness, his mind reacted immediately.
