Yes, They Wanted a Child

In fact, they didn't even need to go all the way to the Travelers' Affairs Bureau. They had only walked half a street when the enthusiastic Qin Chaoge had already found out most of the information they wanted.

However, these messages seemed to have a significant impact on their cerebellum.

Yuanmu Town is indeed not a town with charming natural scenery, and many tourists come here not for sightseeing, but for leisure.

A pastime to relax and unwind.

In this small town with tens of thousands of residents, you can enjoy all kinds of services like an emperor.

As long as you abide by the town's laws and do not harm the town's residents, you can do anything you want here.

Moreover, the cost is very low.

Of course, this doesn't include the large sum of money paid to the unlicensed tour guide.

Yuanmu Town warmly welcomes every traveler and has built a variety of recreational facilities for them. It even provides each traveler with a beautiful sightseeing assistant to help them better enjoy their journey.

But these enjoyments come at a price.

Behind all this beauty and joy, the price you need to pay is:

On the day you leave Yuanmu Town, you must leave behind a child for this town that once brought you joy.

Yes, they want a child.

The child's mother is the tourist assistant sitting next to the traveler.

You don't need to worry that your children will become a burden, because they don't need you to carry them for ten months or raise them with all your heart.

By completing a simple bestowal ceremony, the tour assistant will become pregnant with your child, regardless of gender.

The phrase "regardless of gender" here does not refer to the sex of the child, but rather that tour assistants, regardless of gender, can become pregnant.

Hmm... I won't argue, think about it some more.

From conception to birth, the child has no connection with the traveler. He/she will be born in Yuanmu Town, become a resident of the town, and grow up until he/she becomes a tourist assistant for one of the future travelers.

Upon hearing the so-called "tourism itinerary," Cheng Shi was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Chaoge thought of his "child" and his face darkened so much it could drip water.

Why is this happening?

Why?

Because in every world that has light, darkness is always present.

Yuanmu Town is no exception.

The Eternal Day granted the townspeople strong bodies, beautiful appearances, and the ability to reproduce regardless of gender.

However, the Blood Moon of Slaughter deprived them of their ability to reproduce with each other.

This Blood Moon, which hangs high in the night sky every night, exudes a terrifying pollution like a source of plague, and at every moment it desires the annihilation of all Believer of the [Eternal Day].

These residents, burdened with both blessings and curses, devised this method to keep the town going: constantly expanding the population by attracting tourists.

Therefore, the arrival of travelers is very important to them, because it represents population and that Faith will never run dry!

"No wonder I was matched with someone like Hu Xuan!"

Qin Chaoge grew increasingly furious, Cheng Shi, unsure how to comfort her, could only say:

"Try to think positively. It's not a bad thing. Just consider it a rehearsal. You'll have to leave a child here sooner or later anyway."

"Then why don't you practice it?"

"I'd love to, but they don't seem interested in me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Xuan appeared at the end of the long street.

"..."

Qin Chaoge's mood suddenly improved. She grabbed Cheng Shi and quickly walked towards Hu Xuan.

Cheng Shi struggled in vain, his face darkening as he mentally prepared his words of refusal.

At the end of the long street, Hu Xuan walked with her head down, her eyes glazed over and muttering to herself, seemingly unaware of them.

As the two men passed her, neither dared to greet her, simply letting her walk by, overhearing the Nature Sect woman muttering to herself:

"He stole the Divine Authority of [Birth]..."

Why was He able to steal the Divine Authority of Birth...?

Can I steal [...]'s..."

Qin Chaoge spat lightly and muttered, "Crazy woman."

Cheng Shi frowned but didn't say anything.

This woman was clearly not insane; she had almost grasped the essence of divinity that Cheng Shi had recently understood, which was:

To steal Divine Authority.

Seeing that Hu Xuan had walked away, he struggled to break free from Qin Chaoge's control and said with a dark face:

"Qin Chaoge, I'm warning you, don't think you can lay a hand on me just because you have big fists. If there's a next time..."

As they were talking, Qin Chaoge's entire demeanor suddenly changed.

She transformed from a tough, muscular woman into a gentle, sweet beauty, swaying gracefully as Cheng Shi, slowly and meticulously smoothing the wrinkles in his clothes.

While tidying up, she half-raised her eyelids and spoke softly:

"Is this alright?"

Cheng Shi's lips twitched violently twice, unable to utter a word of complaint.

Damn it, they're all Crazy Woman.

"Can't you be normal for once?"

"I'm sick, you said so."

"..."

Cheng Shi cursed his bad luck and turned to leave. Qin Chaoge rolled her eyes and quickly followed, tugging at his clothes from behind and taking small steps behind him.

The Travelers' Affairs Bureau isn't far; just walk down a long street and then up a slope.

Along the way, I encountered countless handsome men and beautiful women, and even the older ones still retained their charm and were very pleasing to the eye.

But Cheng Shi didn't have time to appreciate it at all. He always felt that this town was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

With this question lingering in his mind, he followed Qin Chaoge into the Traveler Affairs Bureau.

The secretariat occupies a huge area, and travelers of all kinds of faces walk around inside, making it more like a tourist attraction than an administrative agency.

Cheng Shi dragged Qin Chaoge inside, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they encountered Shaman was walking out with tears streaming down her face.

She seemed to have finished something and was preparing to leave.

Qin Chaoge, always An Jing for excitement, finally reverted to her usual quiet self and swiftly grabbed Shaman's hand.

Shaman looked up in surprise and found Cheng Shi standing next to her. Her tear stains, which were almost dry, instantly turned into two more clear tears.

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's crying so pitifully. Come here, don't be afraid, your sister will take care of you."

Qin Chaoge hugged Shaman tightly, his large hands roaming quickly over her back.

Cheng Shi knew what Qin Chaoge meant.

Rather than being assigned a stranger as an assistant, it's better to find someone you already know, especially since this assistant is so... delicate and easy to manipulate.

But Cheng Shi didn't think so. He instinctively felt that this Shaman was a bit strange. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about her, he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

So he lifted his leg to walk inside.

But at this moment, Shaman suddenly broke free from Qin Chaoge's embrace, stepped in front of Cheng Shi, and looked at him pitifully.

Those tearful eyes were filled with grievance and... surrender.

Clearly, she didn't want Cheng Shi to be replaced.

She's willing to do anything for that.

Although it's unclear why she has such a good impression of Cheng Shi, the fact is that she seems to have taken Cheng Shi to this witty and humorous Surface.

In contrast, Cheng Shi...

He rolled his eyes, ruthlessly bypassed her, and headed straight for the Bureau of Affairs lobby.

Shaman's face turned deathly pale again. She burst into tears, hugged her arms, and fled. Her pitiful appearance broke Qin Chaoge's heart.

"Hey, such a pretty girl, you really don't want her?" Qin Chaoge quickly caught up with Cheng Shi, his tone teasing.

Cheng Shi pursed his lips and ignored her, then after a while tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice:

"What problem did you notice?"

Qin Chaoge suppressed his playful expression and replied in a low voice with a serious face:

"She is very strong; there aren't many women who can break free from my embrace."

"The blessing of [Eternal What Day]?"

"Perhaps, the time was too short, and we didn't fully grasp it."

"?"

Seeing Cheng Shi looking at him speechlessly again, Qin Chaoge laughed and reached out to touch Cheng Shi's face.

"Do you think I have ADHD because I touch everyone I see?"

The Singer's talent is Portrait in Melody.

Cheng Shi suddenly realized.

Who says Believer in "war" are brainless? Their minds are full of schemes.

No wonder Qin Chaoge punches everyone he meets.

This talent allows one to read Change in various physiological rhythms within the human body and create a profile of the target.

The more "melodies" a talent holder encounters, such as heart rate, blood flow rate, and breathing interval, the more accurate their profile of the target will be.

This kind of accuracy is not just about recording, but also about expanding and supplementing. If you know enough, you can even see through people's personalities and guess their choices and actions.

It can be said that the talent of "Portrait in Melody" is very suitable for discerning a person's identity, and it is also an S-level talent that Cheng Shi once coveted.

Unfortunately, it was the Singer's Professional Talent.

So it seems she saw everything about me the whole way.

Cheng Shi stared intently into Qin Chaoge's eyes and said directly:

"How is my portrait?"

"Are you sick? Why would I draw your portrait? Can't I just look at it directly?"

After saying that, Qin Chaoge snorted disdainfully and turned to walk into the affairs bureau hall.

Cheng Shi stood there, watching Qin Chaoge's retreating figure, and laughed out loud.

This time it's not a lie.

This teammate is interesting.

Perhaps he would be a good partner.
