The Fate of Extraordinary Fertility

"Zhou Meng! Get out here! Look at what you've done!" Lin Qiye's furious roar echoed throughout the Mental Hospital.

"Is that any way to speak to your father? Uh, what's this?" Zhou Meng walked into the activity area and saw a scene that was quite pleasing to the eye, yet also a little strange.

The Evernight Goddess Nyx was holding Lin Qiye's hand in her left and Li Yifei's in her right, happily dancing some unknown dance.

Her cheeks were flushed, a charming smile graced her face, and her eyes had a faintly dazed look, like the surface of a lake brushed by the night breeze.

Li Yifei, on her right, looked thoroughly embarrassed.

Lin Qiye, on her left, looked helpless and furious.

He felt helpless because Nyx had pulled him into a dance the moment he came in.

He was furious because every time Nyx opened her mouth, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out, and the activity room was a mess, with all sorts of activity equipment knocked over everywhere.

Clearly, she had been drinking! And quite a lot at that! She had even gone on a drunken rampage afterward!

Lin Qiye didn't need to think or ask Li Yifei to know that Zhou Meng was definitely behind all of it!

So he could only dance with Nyx while loudly demanding an explanation from Zhou Meng.

"That? It had nothing to do with me. Li Yifei brewed the alcohol, the goddess drank it herself, and you're the one dancing. What did I have to do with any of it?" Zhou Meng looked at Lin Qiye innocently.

"You f—ah, Mother, ow, ow, ow!"

"Is that any way to speak to your father?" Still slightly drunk, Nyx couldn't help growing a little angry and grabbed Lin Qiye by the ear.

Zhou Meng strolled over and freed Lin Qiye from Nyx's grasp.

"It's all right. The boy's still in his rebellious phase, so it's normal for him to have a bit of a temper. You there, Yi Fei, take your grandmother to get some rest and sober up."

The moment he was free, Li Yifei hurriedly took Nyx to the storeroom to look for a sobering medicine.

"Don't be so quick to yell at me. Why don't you check Nyx's treatment progress first?" Zhou Meng said before the furious Lin Qiye could speak.

The moment Lin Qiye came in, Nyx had pulled him into a dance in the wrecked activity room, so he hadn't noticed her treatment progress at all.

At Zhou Meng's words, he couldn't help looking toward Nyx as she walked away.

"How did it rise so fast? And it's still going up!" Lin Qiye's eyes widened.

Forty-eight percent, forty-nine percent—it was almost at fifty.

"Wait, Brother Meng, it was only twenty-something percent the last time I came. How is it almost fifty percent already?" Lin Qiye asked, utterly bewildered.

"What do you think Li Yifei's been doing every day? The most important part of treating your mother is making her feel familial love. Familial love, understand? Dancing with her son and grandson is an expression of that too! Someone like you who's never had a child wouldn't understand!"

"You make it sound like you've had one!"

"If you keep disrespecting your father, do you want to try Extraordinary Fertility again?"

The moment Zhou Meng mentioned Extraordinary Fertility, Lin Qiye pretended he hadn't heard and hurried after Li Yifei and Nyx to the storeroom to look for a hangover cure for gods.

A little while later, after they finally managed to give the sobering medicine to Nyx, who had nearly demolished the storeroom too, they sat in the activity room and watched Li Yifei silently clean up the mess on the floor.

"Ah, your mother has grown old. It was only a little alcohol, but I ended up making such a mess of the room." Nyx's expression grew a little sad.

"It's all right, Mother. I'll always be here, and besides, this wasn't your fault." Lin Qiye comforted Nyx while shooting Zhou Meng a glance.

Zhou Meng said nothing, merely giving a faint smile.

Nyx looked at the two people beside her and Li Yifei, who was sweeping the floor. Suddenly, two streams of tears, as clear as the Milky Way, ran from her eyes, which shone like the night sky.

Her treatment index rose to 51% at that very moment!

Above 50% meant that Lin Qiye could draw another of the Evernight Goddess's abilities. At the same time, he also saw a notification that Nyx could briefly leave the Gods’ Psychiatric Hospital.

For all Zhou Meng's reckless antics, he and Li Yifei had actually managed to make a significant improvement in Nyx's treatment so quickly.

Forget it. I won't hold it against him for plying Mother with vodka this time.

Lin Qiye decided to draw an ability first.

"Hey, wait. To celebrate your mother's treatment progress passing the halfway mark, how about I help you eliminate a wrong option before you draw an ability?" Zhou Meng suddenly stopped Lin Qiye.

By now, Zhou Meng's mental illness index had also fallen to 90%, allowing him to steal one more purple entry.

At the same time, he had discovered that he had gained a new entry called [Fate Thief]. He now had three inherent entries: Petty Theft, Parasitic Doppelgänger, and Fate Thief.

Petty Theft and Parasitic Doppelgänger were unchanged, while Fate Thief allowed him to steal and graft the fate of others to a certain extent.

Lin Qiye's mental power had actually already reached the Pool Realm. It was just that he had yet to break through because of the forbidden object suppressing him at the training camp. From Zhou Meng's perspective, however, it was already enough to accommodate an orange entry and a purple entry.

He decided to give Lin Qiye another purple entry.

But Lin Qiye saw things very differently.

Help me eliminate a wrong option?

I think you're trying to help me eliminate the right ones!

He hadn't forgotten that one of Nyx's abilities was called Extraordinary Fertility!

If you steal all the other entries and leave only Extraordinary Fertility, won't I have no choice but to start giving birth?

No, absolutely not. I'd better just draw now!

Ignoring Zhou Meng's suggestion, Lin Qiye said silently in his heart, "Draw an ability!"

The mysterious wheel suspended in the void began to spin on its own.

"Ah, you disobedient child. Do you really think I can't interfere now?" Zhou Meng shook his head and smiled.

He raised a hand and gave it a slight twist in the void. He was going to use Fate Thief to steal Lin Qiye's fate of drawing other entries, thereby increasing the probability of drawing Extraordinary Fertility!

Lin Qiye saw the wheel before him suddenly change.

For some reason, the Extraordinary Fertility segment instantly grew larger! It gradually took over the entire wheel, while the spaces occupied by the other abilities grew smaller!

His chance of drawing Extraordinary Fertility had reached a whopping 75%!

"Brother Meng! No, Dad! Please stop!" Lin Qiye waved his hands frantically in fright.

But it was already too late. The wheel was spinning rapidly, and Lin Qiye's heart sank into despair.

I'm done for. If only I'd listened to him! It looks like I'll have no choice but to give birth this time! I wonder if there's a delivery room at the new recruit training camp? How will Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and the others treat me?

Just as he was losing all hope, the wheel gradually came to a stop.

Lin Qiye couldn't help opening one eye to look.
