Chapter 398: Chapter 396: Special Host
…
“Host, Xiaomei received a task from the Main System,” Xiaomei reminded Sally.
Sally was preparing the test papers needed for the monthly exam and was about to summon the children when she heard Xiaomei’s reminder and paused momentarily, “What task?”
“Eliminate the Offspring Virus. One Offspring Virus, one million Fertility Points to start with, the more powerful the Offspring Virus, the more points rewarded.”
Sally curled the corner of her mouth, “They sure know how to order people around. Is this Offspring Virus the same as the last one?”
“No. This time it’s a different malignant virus that uses the continent where the Offspring System is located as a medium for spreading. It’s not just on Continent 9908, other continents have it too.”
“Eh! It’s not like the Insect Clan incident, right?” Sally was genuinely afraid of such systemic disasters.
“It’s different from the system-wide outbreak of the Insect Beast virus. The appearance of the Offspring Virus is normal for the Main System and is limited in scope, only to the Offspring System, so you just need to eliminate the virus. Furthermore, not every continent has it; continents without the Offspring System certainly don’t have the Offspring Virus, and even some that do have the system might not be infected.”
“Are there still continents in Beast World that haven’t deployed the Offspring System?”
“The continents in Beast World that have the Offspring System account for 64%. This is the latest data.”
“What about other worlds?” Sally took a pencil and absentmindedly wrote the number 64% on a blank piece of paper, then twirled the pencil in her hand.
“Demon Realm doesn’t have it, Human Realm doesn’t have it, Asura Realm doesn’t have it, Origin Realm doesn’t have it, Void Realm doesn’t have it, and Divine Realm is in the process of deployment.”
The pencil in Sally’s hand suddenly dropped onto the desk, “Wait a minute, did you say the Divine Realm has also deployed the Offspring Virus?”
“Yes, Host. The successful deployment is largely due to your efforts,” Xiaomei confirmed.
“…It’s not because of the data from when I gave birth to Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, right?”
When Little Shier was born, although he had divine status, he was still at Saint Rank.
Later, under Xiaomei’s millennium-long guidance, he advanced to God Rank. Having divine status made the advancement process very smooth, without even facing a heavenly tribulation.
The true divine beast offspring who triggered divine status upon birth were Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Little Shiqi. But Little Shiqi was born a thousand years later, so the data couldn’t have been that early.
Xiaomei replied, “Yes, your ability to safely escape the time reversal with your children was also permitted by the System.”
“…” Indeed, nothing could be hidden from the System.
“After the time reversal, the Divine Realm began the trial deployment. A thousand years after the trial deployment, it began the official deployment.”
“Uh-huh, I can understand other realms. Either the environment is too harsh, or they are too high-ranking for the System to reach. But why don’t the Human Realm and Demon Realm have it?”
“They don’t need it. The Human Realm has normal reproductive capabilities, so the Offspring System has no value there. The Demon Realm doesn’t have it because its guardian god did not agree to the deployment.”
Sally remembered when 009821 held the contract signed between Beast God and the System, agreeing to the deployment… It seemed the guardian god of Beast World was the Beast God.
Then who was the guardian god of the Demon Realm?
Sally just had the thought and then put it aside.
“Do the Offspring Systems on other continents also need virus elimination?” Sally felt that, even though there was a reward, this didn’t seem like the job of the Offspring System, “Isn’t this the job of your Supervision System?”
“Yes, Host, only Xiaomei received the instruction to eliminate the virus,” Xiaomei replied.
Sally suddenly felt a huge pot had fallen from the sky, “Just because you’re special?”
“Because the Host hasn’t given birth for over three months and the data provided from past childbirth are highly valuable, the Main System has listed you as a special Offspring Host, allowing for direct assignment of other tasks related to to the Offspring System.”
“…” She didn’t produce offspring, and now she had become a special host! Previously, if she exceeded three months without procreating, her rebirth on Earth would be terminated. This time she didn’t care if she could be reborn or not, so she ignored the three-month limitation, not expecting it to still be waiting for her here.
“I’m busy raising children! When have I ever been free!”
“Raising young offspring is not within the purview of the Offspring System’s duties. Of course, Xiaomei also likes raising babies,” Xiaomei immediately clarified, aligning herself with Sally’s stance—they were both wronged by the Main System!
Sally was speechless.
“000 is here,” Xiaomei reminded Sally.
Sally immediately teleported out of the Beast Emperor’s Palace and saw 000 and Zi Qi facing each other, the atmosphere a bit chilly.
Fearing they might start a conflict, Sally hurried over, “Um, Xiaomei already told me about it, Mr. Supervisor, do you have anything to add?”
000 took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Sally, “This is where you need to go. Once it’s done, just have Xiaomei contact me, and I will apply for the corresponding reward points for you based on the completion status. All point consumption during the mission will be covered by the System. The host needs to front the costs initially, but they will be audited and reimbursed afterward.”
Sally received the folder, so thick…
000 gave Zi Qi a chest salute, “Your Majesty Beast Emperor, I wish you a pleasant life.”
Then he left, turning into a stream of data shadows.
Zi Qi frowned slightly and took the folder from Sally’s hands, flipping through it to find names of continents densely packed on the pages.
“What is this?”
“Continents affected by the Offspring Virus. The System has classified me as a special host for not getting pregnant for over three months, so it has assigned me to other missions.”
As Sally talked, she cozied into Zi Qi’s arms, seeking comfort.
Zi Qi held her, gently patting her back, “I’ll accompany you.”
“No need. Fighting the Offspring Virus is essentially a data battle, and Xiaomei will handle it. Not to mention you, even I can’t help much.” Sally hugged Zi Qi, “The kids have their monthly exams coming up, so you keep an eye on them. I’ll take a trip to the Dark Continent and deal with the Offspring Virus here first, so it’ll be easier for you to handle what’s-his-name, the third Demon King.”
“Hmm, let Lin Yuan accompany you to the Dark Continent,” he replied.
“We’ll see,” Sally responded, thinking that she’d be more flexible on her own anyway— if she couldn’t beat them, she’d just run.
After Xiaoshi was summoned, he handed a letter to Sally. It turned out the Abyss was also dealing with the Offspring Virus, and it was quite formidable. Frans was requesting her presence there.
Sally quickly checked the list of affected continents given by 000. Sure enough, the Abyss was included.
“Let’s go to the Dark Continent first,” Sally decided, no longer able to wait, addressing Xiaomei.
With the support of the Main System, Xiaomei was happily spending points, “Yes, host.”
…
The Dark Continent, Land of Divine Legacy.
After having been to the Asura Realm, the darkness of the Dark Continent seemed insignificant.
“Host, the Offspring Virus is in that temple ahead, supported by just one column. Transform into your beast body to get as close as possible,” Xiaomei advised.
“OK.” Sally transformed into a mouse and teleported next to the temple’s column.
Just as she was about to enter the temple, Sally stopped and examined the column, “Xiaomei, can you check what material this column is made of for me?”
“Host, you’re in luck. This is Thousand-Year Frost Jade. Although the outside has been eroded by the dark energy of the Dark Continent, the core of the column is intact Cold Crystal, a rare heavenly material and earthly treasure.”
“Let’s deal with the virus first, then take it. You go hide for now, I’m going in.” Sally tucked away the System Map and slipped into the temple through one of the edges.
As soon as she entered, Sally was nearly knocked out by a foul stench.
Inside, there were piles of decaying beast corpses, teeming with maggots, some even forming cocoons or emerging as black moths…
Sally quickly left again.
No, she couldn’t take this path; better find another entry.
After skirting the perimeter of the ruined Divine Temple, she finally arrived at an alternative entrance.
“Bring more female beasts, preferably female Beastmen,” spoke a voice.
