Although he denied it over and over again in his heart, Dai Yao still went to the drugstore as if demons and gods was at work¹ and mustered up the courage to buy a pregnancy test stick. After buying it, he felt that he was crazy. He must be crazy. If he was sick, he should go to the hospital to see a doctor. Either he have a bad stomach, or maybe heat stroke. There were many causes of vomiting. Why would he draw closer to pregnancy?

But this can’t be blame on him. He used to be in good health. Even if he worked three jobs at the same time, get up early, go to bed late, getting exposed to the rain and cold, he never get sick. Even if he catch a cold, it won’t last more than three days, and he will be healthy and active without taking any medicine. But now he has such a fragile body, could it be that the creditor had some kind of diseases? But he looked vigorous and lively, it doesn’t look like he was sick!

Since he bought it already, he might as well give it a try.

So Dai Yao went to the bathroom, unpacked the pregnancy test stick, and used a small plastic box to collect some urine. While taking the test, he was madly roasted himself, I must be crazy, I am 100% crazy.

He held the pregnancy test stick in his hand. During the two minutes of waiting for the results, Dai Yao had roasted himself countless times: “Dai Xiaoyao², you say, aren’t you mentally ill? You shouldn’t see a gastroenterologist, go directly to a psychiatry ba! Or see a psychiatrist, let them enlighten you!”

However, before he finished his roasting, the two bright red horizontal bars on the pregnancy test stick gave him a heavy blow. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly and shook his head: “Impossible, impossible. Am I not only have a mental problem, but my eyes also have a problem? This… this is impossible! Oh, there is another box… another box, let me try again.”

However, he opened the pregnancy test stick, yet he couldn’t pee anymore. Dai Yao went to drink water to hold back his pee. After holding it in for a long time, he took the test again, and the result was still two marks. So he began to suspect that there was something wrong with the pregnancy test stick, so he ran seven streets and bought no less than ten kinds of pregnancy test sticks, pregnancy test strips, and pregnancy test pens. The test results were all two lines!

Dai Yao was bewildered. He… was really pregnant? How was that possible?

He also specifically found an Internet Cafe to check information about boys’ pregnancies. However, most of the information found was about transgender people becoming pregnant, which cannot be considered real boys.

After checking for a long time, he gave up. Dai Yao went home and lay in bed depressed for a long time, he only felt that his three views were shattered and doubted his life. He wanted to find someone to asked about his current situation, but he didn’t know who to ask. If Uncle Li was still here, he could still asked Uncle Li, but Uncle Li was now in the hospital…

If she was a girl, she can still have an abortion if she gets pregnant unexpectedly. Who can tell him what to do if a boy gets pregnant unexpectedly?

So Dai Yao was muddleheaded all day long. Even when he went to see Uncle Li in the nursing home the next day, he was a little absent-minded. After paying the recuperation fee, Dai Yao went to Uncle Li’s ward.

The ward environment was very good and the air wasn’t bad either. At this moment, the doctors and nurses left the private time to him and Uncle Li. No one else would disturb them, and he(DY) could have a private talks with him(LM).

As soon as Dai Yao opened his mouth, he couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.

He lay next to Uncle Li, crying like a child. He hasn’t cried like this for a long time since Uncle Li’s accident. Maybe he was so used to being staunch that he forget when to be weak. Now he felt unprecedentedly aggrieved. How could he be pregnant? Why was he pregnant? Could it be a misunderstanding? More than a dozen pregnancy test sticks told him that he was pregnant, so it was probably not a misunderstanding.

After crying, Dai Yao raised his head, clenched his little fist, and said: “Uncle Li, maybe you will laugh at me for being stupid, but I still decided to give birth to him. Mom and dad are gone, you are gone, and Xiaoyuan has gone to college. In this world, I am the only one left alone. You see, maybe Heavens took pity on me and gave me an extra bean sprout in my belly. If I give birth to him, won’t he be able to accompany me?”

After coming out of Uncle Li’s place, Dai Yao suddenly felt relaxed.

The Seventh Blind Man told him his fortune, saying that he would had bad influence to his parent’s, relatives’ and friends’ fates, but not his children. Maybe Heavens really took pity on him and sent a little one to accompany him.

When Dai Yao returned home, all the sorrow and anxiety he had felt before were gone. He washed his face and said to himself: “Be brave and work hard!” When he gets up tomorrow, it will be a new day.

Although he was full of fighting spirit, Dai Yao was still at his wits’ end. After giving birth to him, how will he be raised? A mere 30,000 yuan was enough to covers one year’s living expenses. Besides, if he want to give birth to the baby³, it will definitely cost a lot of money. There were many difficulties, not just as simple as passing levels by killing monsters.

At this time, Dai Yao finally thought about the system that he had forgotten for a long time. When he was bedridden for a month, his mind was so foggy that he could hardly distinguish between dreams and reality. If it weren’t for the messy desolation in the backyard, Dai Yao would really think he was having a dream.

So he dug out the system that he had never had time to study and started studying it.

The system’s panel was easy to control. Since being host, although he has not felt any discomfort, yet he can feel the bamboo slip icon in the sea of consciousness at any time. It was as if his brain was a computer monitor, and there was now an additional application on the desktop that was originally as smooth as a mirror.

Dai Yao used his mind to open the icon, and the bamboo slip panel in front of him appeared again. Dai Yao also discovered that after being bound to the system, a green leaf like a totem appeared on his right arm. When the icon was activated, the green leaf also flashes a faint green light. Dai Yao raised his head and looked at the bamboo slip panel. There was only a very simple sentence on it:

Shennong’s Reconstruction Mission 1, 1. Pull out the wildly growing weeds and obtain 10 pieces of spiritual jade.

It turned out to be doing tasks?

Dai Yao pushed open the door to the backyard, and the desolation as far as his eyes can see made him feel uncomfortable again. Even if the system doesn’t instructed it, he will also clean up the mess. But what was the spiritual jade that the system mentioned? Dai Yao was very curious, so he dragged his tired body and planned to clear the weeds. There happened to be a broken sickle in the corner, which his parents used when they were young. He sharpened it with whetstone a few times. When it felt sharp enough, he began to cut the grass.

However, something magical happened. Every time he cut the grass, a system prompt sounded in his ears: failure, failure, faifaifaifailure⁴…

Dai Yao looked at the sickle speechlessly, and another prompt sounded in his ear: Please do it yourself.

Do it yourself? Dai Yao threw away the sickle. Does doing it himself mean pulling the weeds by hand? He tried to pull the weeds with both hands, and finally, the failure sound stopped. It was just that these weeds were not so easy to clean up. Dai Yao’s palms were scratched by reeds, pricked by Puncture Vine, and wire grass that even more difficult to deal with. As the name suggests, the grass has three square beam umbrellas, which he quite familiar. After a lot of effort, Dai Yao finally cleared the weeds in that small patch of grass. This small plot of land was about 20 to 30 square meters in size, with clear field stems⁵. It takes up about half of his original backyard, and the other half was filled with rubble.

He wiped the sweat off his head, there was still a small patch of weeds that need to be pulled before it done. Dai Yao knelt down again and suddenly saw a huge white radish. The upper part of the white radish has turned green, the leaves were also a little withered, and brown seeds were sitting on the fallen scape.

At this time, the system prompts pop out: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the seeds – Shennong radish.

Dai Yao’s eyes lit up and he repeated: “Shennong radish?” Although he didn’t know what kind of radish Shennong radish was, the name sounded like it was very high-end, elegant, and classy. So he stopped pulling weeds, went to his room, folded a paper bag with newspapers, and carefully picked all the seeds and put them into the paper bag, and then dug out the huge radish from the soil.

Dai Yao didn’t felt anything when the radish was not dug out, but after it was dug out, he was really surprised by this radish. Not to mention the size, the shape alone was not something that ordinary radishes could grow. One can see that the little radish had hands, feet, the four limbs of the body, and a very obvious little diced meat⁶ between its legs. Dai Yao looked at the little radish and laughed, then put the radish on the window sill. His mother said that old radishes cannot be eaten. The flesh of the radish was stringy and has no nutrients, all of it was absorbed by the seeds. However, old radish can be used as medicine, which can clear away heat, dispelling dampness, detoxify and relieve constipation. When it dried, maybe it can be used someday.

Dai Yao collected the radish seeds and cleared away the last patch of weeds. The backyard finally looked less messy, but there was still a large pile of rubble next to it. He guessed that this should also be the mission of reconstruction given to him by the system ba? So he clicked on the bamboo scroll icon again, and sure enough, the previous task had a big red stamp of “completed” on it. Dai Yao clicked on the panel, and 10 spiritual jades flowed into the spiritual jade pool on the lower side.

Dai Yao guessed that this should be the system’s game coins. Although he don’t know what it was used for now, it can definitely be used.

As soon as the first mission ends, the second mission was released.

Shennong’s Reconstruction Mission 1. 2. Clear away the ruins and rubble and obtain 10 pieces of spiritual jade.

It was just as he expected. But looking at the wounds on his hands, if he were asked to clean up those broken bricks and rubble with his own hands, he might be a bit powerless⁷. Although Dai Yao’s parents were not wealthy, they could only be considered lower-middle class in this shantytown. After all, they only have this ancestral home, unlike those young people with ideas who had already built several sets of simple courtyard houses in the village. Nowadays, demolition can be divided into millions.

But his parents really didn’t let Dai Yao suffer any hardship, especially after Uncle Li came, they bought him whatever he wanted. To the extent that now he has lost their protection, he was like a leaf separated from its branches, unable to reach the sky or the ground. After struggling for so long, finally ended in death. Fortunately, Heavens had mercy and gave him such an adventure. Otherwise, his body would have to sink in the cold Winter Frost Pond forever.

Now that he was going to be a father, he must study this system thoroughly for the sake of his little bean sprouts.

In the South End Dong Cheng villa area, Bai Chuan untied his unbearable tie and casually hung the suit on the hanger. The little follower behind said to him: “Boss, the Old Master called and want you go over, he said he wanted to talk about letting you inherit the company’s equity. ”

Bai Chuan frowned. Although he was extremely reluctant to face Bai Ren, but there were some things that had to be settled sooner or later.

He casually mentioned once: “The child whom I asked Lin Kangjian to investigate last time, have he been found?”
