Zhen Linqi glared at Jia Fuhai, who was lying on her younger sister Zhen Linna's lap, playing mobile games. An inexplicable anger surged within her. As a woman two months pregnant, the more she looked at Jia Fuhai, the more annoyed she felt.
"Ouch… Ouch! Linqi, stop it!"
Jia Fuhai was fully focused on fighting a boss in the game, completely oblivious to Zhen Linqi's presence, until he yelped when she twisted his ear.
"Sis, what are you doing? Fuhai didn't do anything wrong!" Zhen Linna, feeling sorry, gently touched his reddened ear.
"Sweetheart, calm down, calm down... Linna, hurry and make some brown sugar water!" Jia Fuhai quickly said, trying to appease Zhen Linqi.
"Oh!"
Zhen Linna reluctantly tore her gaze away from Jia Fuhai and headed toward the kitchen. Over the past few days, Jia Fuhai's words seemed to have more weight with Zhen Linna than with her older sister.
"Sis," Zhen Linna said as she returned with a steaming cup of brown sugar water.
"Let me, sweetheart. Here." Jia Fuhai took the cup, blew on the water to cool it, and gently fed it to Zhen Linqi.
"Baby, baby…" With one hand rubbing Zhen Linqi's belly and his head leaning on it, Jia Fuhai softly called out, his words carrying a double meaning.
As she stroked Jia Fuhai's head resting on her belly, Zhen Linqi smiled blissfully, feeling emotionally fulfilled.
Jia Fuhai thought back to over a year ago when he was lying in his family's home, reading novels, never imagining he would receive a system.
The "Many Children, Much Blessing" System.
Name: Jia Fuhai
Age: 19
Talent: (Useless in everything)
Skills (System-granted): Basic fitness skills... and a "Maternal Observation" skill.
The system identified women capable of bearing children with guaranteed intelligence of at least 100, plus an additional 20% intelligence bonus (stackable).
After receiving the system, he tested the skill. Seeing his younger brother successfully use a surrogate, he believed it. But most of the system's skills seemed to benefit his brother.
Having originally resigned himself to dying alone, Jia Fuhai began considering whether to take a gamble. After all, the system couldn't be wasted!
He had always known himself to be lazy, disliking chaos and excitement. His plan was to live out his life using his parents' inherited house and savings. When they passed away, he didn't even bother continuing his studies, opting to lounge around instead.
But after getting the system...
He spent a month visiting various places, searching for suitable women. However, many of the ones of appropriate age or slightly younger were disqualified—the system warned that mixing genes with other influences would result in offspring lacking talent.
There were some who passed the screening, but genetic incompatibilities were another issue...
Feeling frustrated, Jia Fuhai returned home to continue his lazy lifestyle.
Scrolling through Douyin one day, he had an epiphany while watching "Seeing the World Through Open Eyes." Though he wasn't the smartest, he finally understood the potential of his system.
After researching for a while, he discovered several places that met his requirements. However, his interest in white women was halved, and concerns like language barriers led him to further narrow down his choices. The place also had to be safe.
Then he thought of Hong Kong Island. Due to its unique political status, it was under multiple jurisdictions, and the language barrier was not an issue for him. Recently, the area had been quite safe, and many people were flocking there despite the high cost of living. Hong Kong Island also had girls' schools and women's colleges, the latter of which catered to adult women.
Hong Kong Island seemed ideal. With a deposit of 1 million Yuan, he could gain citizenship, and there were no restrictions on childbirth—perfect.
Next, he gambled on finding a suitable woman in either the girls' school or the women's college, and he was willing to sell his house for this gamble.
After two nights of thinking it over, Jia Fuhai decided to take the plunge. He figured that if he continued lying around at home, he'd waste the system's potential.
He sold his house for nearly 1 million yuan and brought over 1.5 million yuan with him to Hong Kong Island. After freezing 1 million yuan as a deposit, he gained citizenship. A year later, the deposit could be unfrozen or it could be done by marrying a local.
He then made his way to the women's college.
At the college, he found many suitable women. However, seeing all the men outside the college competing for their attention, he knew the competition was fierce.
Aware of his poor skills at wooing women, he resorted to persistence, earning himself the nickname "wolf warrior" for his relentless pursuit.
If you confess to one woman, you're a simp. If you confess to many, you're a wolf warrior.
Although he was repeatedly stopped and questioned by the police, his clean record and shameless persistence eventually wore them down.
It was at this women's college that he finally caught Zhen Linqi's attention.
At first, Zhen Linqi was stunned by Jia Fuhai's relentless confessions, surprised that he showed up at the college gate for months on end to confess. Out of curiosity, she wanted to find out what his deal was.
After talking for two days, she was completely thrown off by his bluntness.
Jia Fuhai would answer any question honestly, repeatedly emphasizing that he was looking for a wife to bear many children, directly stating his needs.
And so, the two began to have conversations, with Jia Fuhai continuing his "wolf warrior" pursuit.
Eventually, no one else responded to Jia Fuhai's advances, and in a moment of impulsiveness, Zhen Linqi asked, "Shall I?"
To her surprise, Jia Fuhai jumped at the opportunity.
This was exactly what he had learned from dating strategies: shameless persistence wins.
Having been a lazy bum since his teenage years, he had long since lost any sense of shame.
Initially, Zhen Linqi found him amusing and novel. After dating for a while, she realized he wasn't so bad, and with his dogged determination, they officially started a relationship.
Despite his persistence, Jia Fuhai never crossed the line physically, which was one of the reasons Zhen Linqi agreed to date him.
Then, in a moment of passion combined with alcohol...
They officially became a couple.
Not long after, 19-year-old Zhen Linqi became pregnant (the women's college even had elderly "grannies," so he was well within legal limits).
The two got married shortly after, though Jia Fuhai narrowly avoided being beaten to death by his father-in-law.
Although marriage was legal at 18 in Hong Kong, Zhen Linqi's father wasn't pleased.
Looking at the young, blond-haired boy, it was a miracle Zhen Linqi's father didn't beat him senseless.
…
Back on the couch.
Jia Fuhai gazed at the five talismans displayed on Zhen Linqi's belly.
"One in a Hundred" (Green): +10% intelligence
"Good Engineering Design" (Green): Makes engineering designs easier.
"Good Physical Coordination" (Green): Allows for easier execution of difficult physical movements.
"Average Creativity" (White): Has a chance to innovate
"Average Physical Training" (White): Slightly improves training results.
He could choose three out of five as the child's talents. Talent effects could stack, and after selection, Jia Fuhai could inherit 10% of one of the chosen talents.
Since the first day of Zhen Linqi's pregnancy, the five talents had appeared, and he could refresh them once per day at most.
Ever since she got pregnant, he had been refreshing them every day, though the highest rarity he'd seen so far was blue. Luckily, there was still plenty of time before the birth, so he was feeling patient.
