Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Step by Step Tracking Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Step by Step Tracking Sally hastened slowly and felt she was running out of breath, but finally managed to cling to the underside of the Sky Rail Train.
Luckily, as a little mouse, she easily found a recess to take shelter in. Then, she took out a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water from the System Space to quench her thirst and soothe her nerves.
[Xiaoi, do you think it’s necessary for to carry a pregnancy? This could enhance your combat power.]
[No need now. When necessary, Xiaoi will remind the host. Whose offspring does the host want to carry?]
[Rong Ruo’s. Xiaoqi ntioned it to so ti ago, saying Rong Ruo was too strict with her, so she wanted a brother or sister to divert Rong Ruo’s attention.]
[Okay, host, that’s settled then. If needed, Xiaoi will use the Pregnancy Elixir to conceive a Deep Sea Blue Shark. With the current talent and strength of the host and Rong Ruo, this pregnancy will surely be Divine Beast-grade.]
[Hmm! That’ll give him a shock!] Sally thought of Rong Ruo, her eyes curving into a smile.
It started to snow.
Sally felt cold all over and took out a golden-pink down shawl from the System Space, instantly warming up.
As she ward up, Sally grew sleepy and drowsily asked Xiaoi, [What does Zone 5 look like?]
Xiaoi replied, [Zone 5 is snowy all year round…]
Sally fell asleep.
…
The sharp honk of the train woke her.
The stowaway little mouse was also startled awake.
But when Sally saw the white snow below the train and the passengers jumping down directly from the Sky Rail Train, her body shivered, [Where is this?]
[This is Zone 5. Host, jump down too, the station of Zone 5 is right below.] Xiaoi told Sally.
[…Okay.] Sally jumped off as instructed.
Being petite and light, and wearing a down shawl, the cold wind blew her about, far from the ground station!
At last, Sally drifted into a forest and landed on a large tree resembling a pine but laden with cylindrical pods.
She caught her breath first, then continued climbing down.
When she almost reached the lowest branch, three hunters in thick winter gear passed by, one of them carrying prey on his shoulder.
Sally waited until they had gone by then quickly climbed down the tree and stealthily followed them.
The three hunters spoke a language that Sally did not understand.
[Xiaoi, what are they saying?]
[Wait a mont, host. Xiaoi will translate the language right away.]
Soon, Sally understood the hunters’ conversation.
“…Just two more days to the Primordial Saint Festival, are you guys going to the festival night party?”
“Yes! Must go! The grand finale of this party is to burn a criminal from the Yuanzhou Clan.”
“I’m going too. One less person from the Yuanzhou Clan, better if they all died.”
“It’s only a matter of ti. They say the Yuanzhou Clan killed too many creatures of the Earth Realm and committed great sins, resulting in a very low birth rate. In recent years, only one Heavenly Baby has been born, and it’s a disabled mute.”
“Sending a criminal from the Yuanzhou Clan down now, could it be to pacify the public’s anger?”
“As far as I see, since he is a criminal, why not keep him alive and let him continue committing cris in the Yuanzhou Clan to vent our frustration. The enemy’s criminal is a friend.”
“Right! You’re sharp, kid, your two years of study weren’t wasted.”
…
Sally followed behind listening to their talk until they started to share raunchy jokes, then she slowed down.
[If it’s just their Yuanzhou Clan’s king who can’t have children, it might be a personal issue. But if the entire Yuanzhou Clan has fertility issues, then it’s no small matter. No wonder there’s the Offspring System.]
“The Offspring System was already in place long ago. Back then, the Offspring System rely helped females and males enter estrus.”
“Passion Fruit?”
“Similar effects, yes. It gradually improved to promote pregnancy and even fetal developnt. Until Xiaoi, it could even be upgraded.”
A few hunters entered a bar.
There were few people in the bar during the day, and the boss was wiping a glass with a towel until it was spotlessly clean and very transparent in the light before he was satisfied.
“Welco—” the boss called out.
Sally slipped into the bar along the wall, continuing to skulk around the corners until she reached a concealed spot behind the bar and stopped.
The boss smiled at the three hunters, “What’ll you have to drink?”
The group ordered so drinks and continued to chat with the barkeep.
At that mont, a few more people entered the bar, one of them calling out to the boss, “How much for the deer outside?”
“That belongs to these guests here,” the boss responded.
One hunter replied, “Give us nine hundred Yuan Coins, and the deer is yours.”
“Done,” one of the n ca up to the hunters, and using the System’s paynt function, transferred nine hundred Yuan Coins to the hunters.
The hunter casually asked, “Buying deer for a feast? We fellow hunters could join for a drink.”
“We are procurent officers; the deer is part of our procurent task.”
“Oh? Which procurent officers?”
“Yuan Sheng Festival Holy Sect.”
The Holy Church? Sally pondered… “Xiaoi, does Holy World Empire, which Frans ntions, have anything to do with this place?”
Xiaoi replied, “Holy World Empire was fostered by X, so it is sowhat influenced by this place.”
After purchasing the deer, the group left.
Sally naturally abandoned the hunters and followed the procurent officers working for the Holy Church.
The deer was white and had long fur. Sally was well concealed in its fur, making it hard for anyone to notice her.
The n ca in a large truck, placed the deer in the back of the truck, and then drove off.
“It went smoothly; thought we’d have to look for more hunters to gather deer.”
“After delivering the goods, want to catch a boxing match?”
“Sure…”
Sally looked at the deer right in front of her.
It was still alive—as if begging her to save her.
“Host, it is a pregnant doe.” Xiaoi told Sally, “Shall we save it?”
Normally, Xiaoi wouldn’t respond to an ordinary doe, but pregnancy triggered her protective chanism for the fetus.
“Okay.” Sally had Xiaoi calm her down first, to avoid any sudden movents that might draw the procurent officers’ attention.
The truck stopped at a gas station, and the officers went inside to rest and eat.
Sally seized the opportunity to quietly unlock the truck door and let the deer out…
“Wait, Xiaoi, didn’t you say you could only use the map and paynt functions?” Sally had just unlocked the truck door, which Xiaoi had done.
“There’s no patrolling system here. Besides the map and paynts, the citizens’ system here includes various entertainnts—movies, gas, food, variety shows, and all sorts of sports and competitions.”
“…I thought this was Zone 5, notorious for chaos and full of scoundrels. Why does it seem better than Zone 2 we were in before?”
“You might want to check what functions are open for use?”
Sally opened the System, took a look, and then silently closed it…
