48: Chapter 48 The Nursery and a New Voyage

After enjoying a harmonious breakfast in the dining room, Li Taiping did not rush to set sail for the unknown Extreme Cold Sea Region.

He still had one very important matter that needed to be confirmed.

After settling the girls in and having Su Mei take them to familiarize themselves with the new facilities on the ship, Li Taiping went alone to the room located at the deepest part of the first deck.

[Nursery]

He stood outside the tightly closed door, silent for a long time, his mood somewhat complicated.

"Many Children, Many Blessings", "many children, many blessings"...

This "many children" had previously been regarded by him as a beautiful vision, a distant goal.

But now, this goal seemed to have become within reach.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the nursery.

The scene inside the room made him once again shocked by the system's thoughtfulness.

The entire nursery, rather than being a room, was more like a laboratory filled with a sense of futuristic technology.

In the center of the room, ten huge, egg-shell-like white pods were neatly arranged.

The surface of the pods was smooth, emitting a soft white light, and filled with the aura of life.

Li Taiping walked up to one of the pods and checked its description.

[Fully Automatic Intelligent Nursery Pod]

[Description: A great creation combining life science and space technology, it can provide the most perfect and safe environment for the gestation of new life.]

[Usage: Place a pregnant crew member into the pod, input enough energy stone and nutrients, and the nursery pod will automatically enter "rapid gestation" mode.]

[Gestation Cycle: Seven days.]

[Effect: Inside the nursery pod, the fetus will grow healthily at a hundred times the speed. After seven days, the crew member can achieve "painless childbirth," and there will be no damage to the body after delivery; instead, due to the leap in life level, they will obtain a small increase in attributes.]

"Seven days... and I can have a child?"

"And it's painless?"

Li Taiping looked at this description, which could be called heaven-defying, and was completely stunned.

This isn't just having children; it's practically mass-producing "child prodigies" on an assembly line!

According to the third characteristic of the "Many Children, Many Blessings", [Bloodline Suppression], his offspring would inherit 80% of his total attributes and have a probability of mutating stronger Talent.

He was currently at Good-Grade Late Stage strength, so wouldn't his children be born as good grade early stage or even mid-stage powerhouses immediately?

In seven days, he could produce a good grade super soldier!

If he had a few more and formed a "second-generation god" legion, wouldn't that sweep across the entire world?

Li Taiping's heart instantly became fiery.

He seemed to have already seen the scene of himself leading a group of gifted and super-powerful sons and daughters, driving a max-level divine warship, galloping across the Endless Sea, killing gods if they blocked him, and killing Buddhas if they blocked him.

"Hiss... calm down, calm down."

Li Taiping forced himself to calm down.

But the uncontrollable upward curve of his mouth exposed his inner ecstasy.

Just then, the door to the nursery was pushed open.

Su Mei, Xia Zhi, Yun Jinxin, as well as the newly arrived Twin Sisters and Chu Mengyao, six girls in total, walked in, poking their heads in with curious expressions.

"Captain, what are you doing hiding in here by yourself?"

Su Mei asked with a giggle.

When they saw the ten huge nursery pods in the center of the room, they were all stunned.

"Wow! What is this? It's so beautiful!"

Lin Qingxue curiously circled a nursery pod.

After Li Taiping briefly introduced the functions of the nursery pods to them.

The entire nursery instantly erupted in excitement.

"Oh my god! You can have a baby in seven days? And it doesn't hurt? This is too magical!"

Yun Jinxin covered her small mouth, her face full of disbelief.

"Captain! Captain!"

The Twin Sisters hugged Li Taiping's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and said in unison, "Then can we... can we have a bunch of chubby baby boys for you!"

"Yeah! Anyway, with Sister Mei's treasure basin, we can afford to raise them! We can have as many as we want!"

Lin Qingxue said excitedly.

Even Chu Mengyao, who had just joined the group, blushed and said in a low voice:

"If... if the Captain needs it, I... I am also willing..."

These girls, after understanding the [Bloodline Suppression] characteristic, all clearly knew that having children for Li Taiping was not just as simple as continuing the family line.

It was creating future top-tier combat power for the entire team!

Every child was a powerful combat force and the hope for the team's future!

Looking at them scrambling and looking forward to having his children, Li Taiping felt both happy and a bit overwhelmed.

He felt as if he had transformed from a captain into a walking "seeding machine".

"Ahem!"

He coughed a few times, trying to interrupt this group of women who had already started fantasizing about a beautiful future life.

"Let's talk about having children later; there's no rush."

He glanced at Xia Zhi, who looked indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with her, and was silently walking to the corner to practice sword swings. He thought to himself, at least there is still one normal person.

"Our current top priority is still survival! It is to upgrade the ship to the max level to liberate more crew members and figure out what is going on in this world!"

"When we are truly safe, we can have as many as we want, okay?"

Li Taiping's words finally let this group of women, who were acting like they had been injected with adrenaline, calm down a little.

They also knew that now was not the time to consider these things.

"Alright, we'll listen to the Captain."

Su Mei shrugged, but her peach-blossom eyes were still flickering with longing for the future.

...

After solving the sweet trouble of "having children," Li Taiping finally gave the order to set sail!

The massive hull of the "Many Children, Many Blessings" carved a beautiful arc on the sea surface, turned, and headed full speed towards the direction of the "Extreme Cold Sea Region" marked on the nautical chart!

After a day of sailing.

When the second morning arrived, everyone on the ship clearly felt the sharp drop in the surrounding temperature.

Fine snowflakes began to drift in the air.

The color of the seawater also changed from deep blue to a more profound ice blue.

On the sea surface, huge ice floes, like small hills, began to appear one after another.

Some polar animals like penguins and seals were frolicking on those ice floes, and seeing the "Many Children, Many Blessings" behemoth pass by, they all cast curious glances.

"Wow! It's snowing! It's so beautiful!"

Yun Jinxin and the Twin Sisters, wearing thick down jackets, were excitedly chasing and playing on the deck, reaching out their hands to catch the falling snowflakes.

Su Mei and Chu Mengyao snuggled in the warm cabin, admiring the rare polar snow scenery through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Only Xia Zhi, still wearing a thin sports vest, was practicing sword swings on the deck, sweating profusely, as if she didn't feel the cold at all.

Li Taiping stood on the third-floor balcony, looking out at this vast white world of ice and snow, but his expression was not as relaxed as the others.

He knew that beneath this seemingly peaceful and beautiful snow scene, a deadly danger was lurking.

That Excellent Grade sea monster, which cannot be looked at directly!

Where, exactly, was it?

The "Many Children, Many Blessings" was sailing cautiously on the sea surface covered with ice floes.

The ship's speed had to be slowed down a lot to avoid hitting those huge icebergs.

Just then.

"Cap... Captain!"

In the cockpit, Yun Jinxin, who was responsible for the lookout, suddenly let out a scream filled with terror!

"A... ahead! Everyone, look ahead!"
