Many children, many blessings; leading female trainees in wilderness survival.

[In-depth discussion complete.]

[Hidden effect of the special item "Enchanting Veil" detected...]

The conception rate has increased to 100%.

Congratulations on your successful conception!

Qin Wan's pupils suddenly dilated.

Conception?

Is she pregnant?

Her and Ye Xiao's...child?

[Given the current post-apocalyptic survival environment, the safety priority for the mother and fetus is being adjusted...]

[Pregnancy period shortened to one month.]

The baby will be delivered normally one month later.

[Note: Bringing new life into the world is the most precious act in the apocalypse. Generous rewards will be given after delivery, based on the newborn's qualities and the mother's condition.]

[Extra rewards for this in-depth exchange are being distributed...]

Congratulations! You have obtained the blueprints for building an adobe house and one-time construction privileges.

[Item Description: Consuming this blueprint will immediately generate an adobe house at the designated location. The house is a single-story structure, containing one main hall and two bedrooms, accommodating 5-6 people for daily living and rest.]

[Note: This building is a permanent structure and cannot be moved. Its durability can be repaired with subsequent materials.]

"Xiao Xiao..." Qin Wan cried tears of joy, "I'm pregnant."

Ye Xiao hadn't expected Qin Wan to be so amazing; she got pregnant in just one morning.

"Sister Wan, thank you for your hard work."

He took out two bottles of water and two loaves of bread and placed them in Qin Wan's hands.

"Get in the car and rest, eat something, and take a nap."

……

Ye Xiao then checked his ten-thousand-fold return system.

[Rewards of 10,000 times the return are being settled...]

[Detected communication partner (Qin Wan). Rewards: Talent skill "Earth Element" (Rank C), special item "Enchanting Veil", and additional reward "Mud House Construction Blueprint and One-Time Construction Permission".]

[10,000x return triggered!]

[Refund calculation in progress...]

[Earth Element Return: Water Element Power! (Rank B)]

[Description: Possesses the power of water. Can condense high-pressure water blades in the palm of the hand to cut targets within 10 meters; can summon a water mist with a radius of 5 meters to reduce visibility and conceal one's presence; can purify up to 10 liters of water, removing pollution and toxins.]

Ye Xiao looked at the text glowing blue on the panel, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The earth element has restored the power of the water element, making it both offensive and defensive, and capable of purifying water sources.

In a world where even drinking water requires caution, the value of this skill is immeasurable.

[Return of Mud-brick House Blueprints: Construction rights for 100 mud-brick houses!]

[Description: You have obtained the one-time construction rights for 100 adobe houses.]

[The host has been detected to have more than 10 adobe house construction permissions. Initiate fusion upgrade?]

[Fusing Rules: 10 adobe houses can be combined into 1 brick house. The brick house has 5 times the durability of the adobe house, and the wall thickness is increased by 50%, making it able to withstand attacks from large monsters.]

Ye Xiao barely hesitated before his consciousness activated "Fusion Upgrade".

One hundred adobe house icons merged and recombine in the light, eventually becoming ten silver-gray brick house icons.

[Integration complete. You have obtained the right to build 10 brick houses.]

[Note: The house cannot be moved after it has been installed. Please choose the construction site carefully.]

Ten brick houses, one for myself, the rest we'll talk about later.

As he was thinking this, he noticed a special reward.

[Enchanting Veil Return: 10 Special Outfits!]

Special clothing?

How special is it?

He clicked on the details page, which neatly listed ten outfits, each accompanied by a thumbnail and a brief text description.

The first outfit is a black cheongsam with a high slit.

The cheongsam in the thumbnail has a side slit that goes almost to the hip bone, a deep V-neck, and an extremely narrow waist.

The second outfit is a black and white maid outfit.

The skirt was ridiculously short, barely reaching the top of her thighs, and the apron was made of semi-transparent lace. She also wore a headband of the same color.

The third set is the bunny girl outfit.

A black bodysuit with a heart-shaped cutout at the chest and briefs, paired with a bunny ear headband and a pom-pom bracelet.

The fourth set is a ballet-style lingerie outfit.

……

Just as Ye Xiao was engrossed in the thumbnails of the ten special outfits, he heard footsteps behind him.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you looking at?"

Lin Wanqing's voice drifted from behind, tinged with curiosity, "I've been calling you for ages and you haven't answered."

Ye Xiao abruptly shut down the system panel, his movements as swift as if he'd been electrocuted.

He turned around, coughed lightly, and tried to make his expression look normal.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Xu, is there something you need?"

Lin Wanqing lowered her head, twisting the hem of her floral dress with her fingers. She opened her lips twice, but no sound came out.

Her face flushed red from the base of her neck down to the tips of her ears, like a pink rose.

Seeing this, Xu Qingran took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"We would like to ask for your help."

Ye Xiao glanced at the two of them, and roughly guessed what was going on, but still asked, "What kind of help do you need?"

Lin Wanqing lowered her head even further.

Xu Qingran gritted her teeth. She was a strong-willed person, and it was already the limit for her to ask for help, let alone something like this.

But she knew she had to take this step.

If she needed help, she hoped that person could only be Ye Xiao.

She raised her head, looked directly at Ye Xiao, gritted her teeth and said, "We also want to have a child."

Ye Xiao would certainly not refuse such a request for help.

Having children will allow them to establish themselves here in the future.

He is happy to help each other.

"Then you'll come together?"

"Together...?" Lin Wanqing's face turned even redder, and her voice trembled.

She is a Chinese language teacher who has always followed the rules. When has she ever experienced something so outrageous?

Xu Qingran also disagreed with doing that kind of thing in front of another person.

She dared not think any further.

"this……"

"Even though it's daytime, I can't guarantee that monsters won't appear."

Ye Xiao glanced in Qin Wan's direction; she was sleeping soundly in the car.

He looked away, his voice low.

"Qin Wan is pregnant now, and she needs someone to take care of her. I don't have much time."

Xu Qingran knew he was right.

Even during the day, this world isn't safe. Last night, that giant cockroach came out at dusk, and nobody knows what else might appear during the day.

Qin Wan is pregnant and is the most important person in the team, so Ye Xiao can't leave for too long.

If the two of them were separated, one by one...

That will take twice as long.

Double the time means double the risk.

"OK."

Lin Wanqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Qingran.

How could she...

But if Xu Qingran can do it, why can't she?

That feeling of shame that seeped from the very marrow of my bones suddenly found a foothold.

She bit her lip and nodded slightly.

"It's on that grass over there," Ye Xiao said, pointing to an open space not far from the car.

If there's any commotion, he can get there immediately.

"Oh, by the way, your clothes are all dirty. I have two clean sets of clothes here. Please change into them."
