It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

[Put your brain aside for now; it'll make you happier and you'll even get system rewards!]

Niujiaoling Reservoir in Qingshan Village.

Chen Mo sat on the shore fishing.

At that moment, the float suddenly sank.

Chen Mo instinctively lifted the rod, and a palm-sized crucian carp was pulled out of the water, its tail thrashing.

"Chen Mo!" came an angry shout from behind.

His hand trembled, and the fish got off the hook.

Chen Mo didn't turn around, but he could feel Old Deng walking towards him angrily.

"You fucking fish every day, you've got nothing to show for it..."

Before he could finish speaking, the fishing rod in Chen Mo's hand was snatched away.

Snap! The tenth fishing rod of the year broke.

Luckily, I bought it on Pinduoduo; it only cost 38 yuan per stick.

He turned his head and saw Old Deng Chen Dayong's face, which was tanned dark red by the sun.

Mother Wang Guilan followed behind, running up breathlessly.

"You're thirty years old, and instead of finding a stable job, you won't even be interested in a divorced woman with a child, you know that?"

Chen Mo pursed his lips.

Is it that I don't want to look for one?

Every industry is booming now.

I work myself to the bone just to earn enough for food, and I end up with a host of health problems.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Chen Dayong grabbed the bucket and dumped the water and fish back into the pond with a splash.

The bucket was smashed on the ground, leaving a dent.

"Old Deng! Are you crazy? Those are the fish I spent all morning fishing for."

Old Deng then grabbed the fishing rod and lashed it at his buttocks.

He immediately dodged, missing the target, while Old Deng was left panting heavily.

This old man is over sixty years old. Sigh, he's really getting old.

As the saying goes, raising a child is for old age security; raising a son means he'll become a freeloader.

Wang Guilan grabbed Chen Dayong's arm. "What's the use of hitting him? Will hitting him bring you a wife?"

"He deserves to be hit!"

Chen Dayong pointed at Chen Mo's nose, "Look at yourself! What kind of person are you? All you do is fish, fish, fish! Are you seventy or eighty years old?"

"Do you know what the villagers are saying?"

They said our family line is about to end! They said you went to university, but you're a good-for-nothing.

"Look at your childhood friends. Even Li Qiang, who only graduated from elementary school, is having his baby's one-month celebration today."

Chen Mo pursed his lips.

Li Qiang's father used to be a construction contractor. He had some savings and could afford a high dowry and even make a down payment on a house in the county town.

Can our family compare?

"Alright, alright." Wang Guilan pulled Chen Dayong back and then turned to look at Chen Mo.

"Mo Mo, you can earn money slowly, but you need to find a wife first. Otherwise, when you get older, no one will want to marry you. Mom asked someone to introduce you to a girl from the next town. Go and meet her."

"The one who was married three times, right? With three children." Chen Mo was speechless.

"They're either mentally challenged, disabled, or have children."

"Mom, is this all I deserve in your eyes?"

"Then what else do you want?" Chen Dayong suddenly roared again, "You want to marry a goddess? Look at yourself! Have a child first, and we'll talk about that later."

"I'm not going. People keep saying they want to have a son, but what if he's born mentally challenged and suffers for the rest of his life?"

Chen Mo turned and walked towards the village.

"Chen Mo! If you dare to leave, I'll pretend I don't have a son like you!" Chen Dayong roared from behind.

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then continued walking.

"Fine, fine, go away, go away! What sins have I, Chen Dayong, committed to raise such an unfilial brat like you... Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring, do you even know that?"

Chen Mo suddenly stopped.

He had heard this phrase since he was a child.

Every year during Chinese New Year, every year during Qingming Festival, and every time there's a family gathering, I hear this phrase all the time.

He turned around and saw his father squatting on the edge of the field, his back hunched over.

The mother stood beside her, sighing repeatedly.

At that moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Who doesn't want a warm home with a wife and kids?

I also wish for many children and much happiness!

[Ding dong. 】

He froze for a moment.

A semi-transparent light curtain appeared out of thin air before my eyes.

[Congratulations, host! Your first offspring has been born and has survived for a full month in good health.]

[Reward: 10 RMB in cash, with legal and traceable source of funds. Random skill lottery in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Mind Reading. Skill effect: You can understand anyone's most pressing psychological needs and strongest thoughts at any given moment, which is beneficial for the host in taking wives and concubines.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item: Marrow Cleansing Pill. Item effect: Elevates the body to its healthiest state, enhances kidney function, and is beneficial for producing high-quality offspring...]

[New Dad Bonus: The host can designate any part of the body to grow by three centimeters. It is recommended that the host add this to their height.]

Chen Mo's eyes widened.

My phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw it was a bank text message.

"A deposit of 100,000 yuan has been received from XX Bank. Balance: 100,325.47 yuan."

He jumped up excitedly.

What the hell!

Hahaha!

The system I obtained over a year ago is actually real? Or am I dreaming?

More than a year ago, he went on a blind date and rejected a divorced woman with a child who was also trying to pay off debts. He was scolded by Lao Deng for this.

They spout nonsense like "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants" and "The Chen family is doomed to die out."

But you can't even support yourself, how can you raise someone else's child?

Even Dorgon couldn't figure it out, so how could a nobody like him possibly understand it?

On that very day, he was bound to the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system.

He was allowed to impregnate and successfully deliver a woman through legal or illegal means.

For each new offspring, if the offspring lives healthily to a full month old, the recipient will receive a cash reward of 10 yuan and a random skill or item reward.

As children grow healthily and reach certain stages, they can trigger random rewards from the system.

He was completely stunned.

Many children, many blessings? Taking wives and concubines? In a modern world of monogamy?

He has neither a wife nor money, and is destitute. Who will have children for him?

Even if you get someone pregnant, they can get an abortion.

Moreover, the system stipulates that only women with a comprehensive score of over 80 will receive rewards for their children.

Goodness, they're all goddesses, and he's just a loser who can only scroll through them on his phone.

Then he came up with a solution.

Donating your life essence to the hospital, casting a wide net, is that alright?

The next day he took a bus to the provincial capital.

Medical examination, filling out forms, entering a small room.

Perhaps because he received the "many children, many blessings" system, the doctor said that his life essence activity was abnormally high, several times that of a normal person, and urged him to donate more.

He donated a total of five hundred times.

He later learned that a normal person can only donate 12 times in their lifetime and can only get five women pregnant; doing so is against the rules.

At the time, he didn't understand anything, but he thought that as long as he had children, he would be rewarded, and the more the better, so he stopped caring.

Then wait.

It's been over a year, and there's been no movement at all.

Now, the first child has reached one month old, and I've received a reward—the system is real!

Before he could finish processing it, a new interface popped up on the screen.

[The offspring sensing map is now open.]

Current number of offspring: 1.

Location information: Marked.

Chen Mo opened the map.

A red dot of light is flashing.

He zoomed in on the map, then zoomed in again, and then froze.

That red dot, isn't it right in Qingshan Village?

A full moon celebration... Holy crap! My childhood friend Li Qiang, and his wife...
