Chapter 170: Chapter 170: I Want to Have a Baby!!
Outside Saint Constant Town.
Are zombies scary? Definitely.
They’re dangerous and lethal!
But hiding behind sturdy walls, with the boss next to you who can transport you to a safe place at any time, is there still a need to fear a horde of zombies?
Of course not!
So everyone, including beastmen, gradually stopped fearing and just kept slashing away.
Some beastmen had the job of running to the dead zombies and tossing them into pits.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
Everyone could easily and efficiently rack up experience points!
Weapon Smiths and doctors poured their attribute points into magic, while beastmen put more into constitution and power.
Lin Yi, with 315 experience points — ranked at the top of the zombie slaying leaderboard, successfully reached level 10 and earned a skill point.
He hadn’t decided where to invest this skill point yet.
He’s considering regeneration skills, but he’s unsure if it would help with his brain, so he’s in no rush.
Terghai, with 277 experience points — ranked second on the zombie slaying leaderboard, reached level 7.
He immediately poured a skill point into his unique skill.
From the skill description, his skill would turn him into a creature called "Zoron’s Nightmare."
"Zoron’s Nightmare" is an ancient and powerful creature that terrified the Zorun Tribe for a hundred years, turning this strongest Taru Tribe into a ragtag group and refugees.
The beastman lord couldn’t wait to try his skill, but he managed to restrain himself.
He’s afraid that after transforming, he won’t be able to control his reason and would get shredded by Lin Yi...
After collecting the spoils,
Lin Yi sent everyone back to the shelter,
then bypassed the town and returned to the highway.
The locals were interested in the show and started to become restless.
He initially thought about stopping and trading with them, but now... he’s hungry...
After taking a three-kilometer loop around the town, he returned to the shelter.
Dinner started!
"I thought you beastmen only eat meat."
"Beastman? I’m yours now!"
Old Teruo sat by the table, savoring his salad.
"Only the warrior class only eats meat. They’re fed only meat from infancy so they grow tall and strong. As a result, their stomachs can’t handle any other food. All other classes eat a variety of foods, including herbs, berries, and dairy products."
"Hmm... I see!"
After dinner.
Lin Yi upgraded his shop application.
A very powerful feature appeared —
He can sense every creature in the shelter!
Lin Yi focused his thoughts on the shelter’s residents, gradually sensing each and every one, including beastmen and rabbits.
After adjusting his thoughts, he focused only on humans, then further narrowed it down to only Chen Youyou.
An image of a woman taking a bath appeared in front of him...
He immediately returned to his room, undressed, and teleported to Chen Youyou.
Chen Youyou was startled, but Lin Yi quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
Because... they were in the women’s section of the public bath!
Public baths have been there since the first day the shelter was established and are still around because everyone is used to them.
And they make everyone’s, at least all the girls’, relationships closer.
But at this moment, all the shower stalls were occupied, and the girls were chatting merrily.
Martha’s voice rang out from a nearby shower.
"Are you serious? No way, how could you like such a freak!"
"He’s just so strong, so manly..."
Mary spoke with a tone that, uh... Lin Yi had never heard before, but her voice still leaked.
"I dream about him all the time. You know, ever since we were kids... our parents groomed us..."
"But he’s a different species, a beastman!"
"You don’t understand! The heart wants what it wants, emotions can’t be controlled."
Due to the sound of water flowing and Chen Youyou’s light hum, Lin Yi could only hear bits and pieces.
"If you want, you can say I’m a pervert... but I want to have his kids. I feel this is love at first sight..."
"Hey, Annie? Do you like anyone?"
"No, like the boss... uh... I don’t have anyone I fancy. Men scare me..."
At that, Sylvie suddenly asked.
"What do you think, Chen Youyou? Chen Youyou? Are you okay in there? You suddenly got so quiet?"
"Um... oh... everything... is... fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Mm... I’m just... shaving my legs."
...
An hour later.
"I feel a lot better now."
Lin Yi gently said to the weary girl.
"Uh huh..."
...
A new day.
It started with the usual morning exercise and a visit to the store.
The store app had changed so much, it was almost unrecognizable.
Its interface was more user-friendly, with a search function and options to organize items into groups and subgroups.
Found two items that match your requirements:
Translator, First Level
Translator, Second Level
The First Level Translator is a tablet, priced at 900 gold coins, similar to the Beastman Negotiation Board.
The Second Level version is priced at 3500 gold coins, with two components: a wireless microphone and a small speaker.
You can hang it around your neck with a strap or clip it to your clothes.
Needless to say, Lin Yi didn’t want to hang it around his neck, it would look... not good!
At breakfast.
Lin Yi handed the translator to the old Shaman.
The old Shaman spoke in Chinese: "Well... this device is quite interesting, but it will take some time to get used to."
"Otherwise, at least you won’t have to drag that big Negotiation Board everywhere you go!"
"Hahaha! You have a point, that board really is inconvenient."
His voice was strange, not like an old man.
"Ready to eat? I really like your food."
Then, everyone began to eat with great enjoyment.
The old Shaman looked a bit healthier.
His skin was previously grayish-white, but now it showed a slightly deeper red, and upon closer inspection, his wrinkles seemed to have lessened somewhat.
At this moment, Solomon asked: "Boss, are we going zombie hunting today?"
"Yes, we need to train the mercenaries to level 5 and help the newbies improve. How are they doing?"
"Pretty good, only a few couldn’t pass the Hell Recruit Training Camp, but I’ve arranged for them to patrol."
Solomon drank an entire glass of milk in one gulp and continued.
"Yesterday, 43 people enlisted, and even some women wanted to sign up, but I refused them for now."
"War is not something women should do, but we can let them guard the city walls. If a zombie horde attacks, we need everyone’s strength. If you want, feel free to recruit a hundred people, but choose those women who are the calmest and have the keenest eyesight, see what skills they have, and then decide."
"Okay, boss."
"How’s the moving going, Regina?"
"Some issues came up, but they’ve been resolved with the help of Valerie, Immanuel, and Blaise. Currently, we’re dealing with some leftover organizational coordination issues, but overall, people are settling in and are very happy!"
Lin Yi nodded, and Chen Youyou asked: "Boss, are you going to expand the farmland today?"
"Yes. We now have more labor, and since we still can’t use technology, and manufacturing is still being reorganized, I’ll let everyone decide whether to join the military or work in the fields.
Also, I heard there’s a large survivor camp in Lille Town. If it really exists, we could sell a lot of food!"
As Lin Yi spoke, he took a big bite of a rabbit steak, then he looked at the lively Annie.
"Speaking of food, how are the rabbits doing?"
"Ah? The number of rabbits has increased, and our meat production is now up to 17 tons!"
"Not bad. By the way, the fish in the lake have grown, although there aren’t many yet, we could organize some recreational fishing activities. But make sure they hand over part of the fish they catch, and ensure they don’t go crazy and fish the entire lake dry!"
"Okay, boss!"
"By the way, Sylvie!"
Lin Yi said, turning to face the red-haired Weapon Smith.
She was startled and nearly choked on her food.
"All the Weapon Smiths reached level 5 yesterday, and we now have 4 workbenches, right?"
"Yes, boss."
"Good, have 5 people work on developing new equipment. Once you’re familiar with making armor, start handling the Mutated Beast Hides. Solomon will give you a Medium Armor set and a Heavy Armor set as a reference.
Let the others produce ammunition, including System Ammunition and Ordinary Ammunition, our FNSCAR Rifles need bullets, complete the task at all costs!"
"Understood."
"Oh, Zoe, how’s the progress at the ammunition recycling workshop, going smoothly?"
"Boss, it’s going pretty well. So far, plans have started for packing 5.6mm caliber bullets."
"Okay, Professor, how’s it going on your side? Hey? Professor, snap out of it!"
"Oh... Sorry, I was daydreaming. How are we doing? Quite well, quite well! A level 5 doctor can make medicines now, and out of our 5 doctors, 3 are real physicians!"
"Five? I thought there were only 4 doctors."
"Yes, but one of them gained a ’Doctor’ skill during certification, so we have 5 now. I’m now more convinced my theory is correct, the system generally grants skills suited to their personality during certification, but this requires more research!"
"Great! Keep up with your research..."
Breakfast took a long time!
There were too many questions and other things to discuss, so it wasn’t until 11 o’clock that everyone left the table.
When Lin Yi was halfway, Mary suddenly caught up.
She was big, with an unusual face, striding quickly.
No one else was around, Lin Yi was so startled, his hands and feet were at a loss.
"What... do you want?!"
"Boss..."
Mary was serious, her large teeth shining under the sun.
"Boss, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and I’ve made up my mind... I need your help..."
"Help with what? What are you talking about?"
"I... want... to have a baby!!"
"...What the heck! Why are you asking me!?"...
