91: Chapter 91: Labor is imminent, the entire server floods the screen with blessings.

The green rain was still falling.

In the Third Beginner District's medicinal fields, plants were growing wildly. Players were digging with sweat pouring down their faces, their mouths split wide with grins.

"There's a high-grade one here!"

"Someone come quick! My backpack is full again!"

"Make some space in the public warehouse for me first!"

The entire Luofeng Village was a scene of joyful chaos, as hot and bustling as a giant cauldron.

But just then, Ling Xi, standing on the earthen slope, suddenly took a soft breath and pressed her hand against her lower abdomen.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her small face, which had been glowing from the reflection of the green rain, was instantly flushed with a faint blush.

Lin Zhe turned to look at her immediately.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Xi leaned closer to him, her voice very soft, carrying a hint of uncontrollable nervousness and shyness.

"Lin Zhe..."

"She was just moving very vigorously."

"I feel like... she's about to be born."

As soon as those words fell, the area around the earthen slope fell silent for a beat.

Xing Jianwan's gaze intensified.

Lin Chen's small hands, which were holding the dragon egg, stopped moving, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Is little sister coming out?"

Lin Zhe didn't hesitate for a moment and directly raised his hand.

Buzz—

A wisp of pale gold Power of Rules flowed from his fingertips, mixing with warm Natural Divine Power, and landed directly in front of Ling Xi's lower abdomen.

Golden light wrapped around the soft green, slowly circulating.

The restless natural fluctuations were instantly stabilized by more than half.

Ling Xi's slightly ragged breathing also gradually calmed down.

She gently bit her lower lip and looked up at Lin Zhe, her eyes as soft as water.

"Much better..."

Lin Zhe's voice was as steady as ever.

"Don't move around."

"I'm here."

With those three short words, the nervousness in the depths of Ling Xi's eyes vanished.

She leaned against Lin Zhe's side, her fingertips gently clutching the corner of his clothes, a gentle smile slowly spreading across her lips.

Lin Chen had become completely excited.

The little guy jumped from Lin Zhe's arms and raised his small hand to slap out an announcement light screen.

Buzz!

A golden announcement popped up in front of all players across the server simultaneously.

[Server-wide Announcement: The Little Princess's birth is imminent!]

[All players who send 'Happy Birthday to the Little Princess' on the world channel can receive a 1-hour Luck Buff]

[The more times you send it, the longer the buff duration will be]

When the announcement first came out, the entire server went silent for a brief moment.

The next second, the world channel completely exploded!

"Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!"

"Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!"

"Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!!!"

One message.

Ten messages.

One hundred messages.

Ten thousand messages.

They surged upward like crazy!

Every channel was being flooded.

Every map was being flooded.

Those in the main cities, in dungeons, grinding mobs, running trade routes, or gathering herbs—everyone stopped what they were doing and began frantically sending blessings.

"Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!"

"Big Shot Lin's little princess will definitely be safe and sound!"

"Luofeng Village, charge! Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!"

The messages were scrolling so fast they were impossible to read.

Three seconds later.

The entire world channel lagged.

It wasn't just the channel.

Even the vision of many players stuttered for a moment.

"Holy crap, it's lagging!"

"There are too many messages!"

"Is the server being crashed by blessings?"

In the official backend, alarms began blaring frantically.

[Warning: world channel message volume is surging abnormally]

[Warning: Server-wide message throughput is overloaded]

[Warning: Channel latency is increasing]

Zhou Ming almost jumped out of his chair.

"Again?!"

"Quick! Add more servers!"

"Add ten temporary servers immediately!"

The technical department operated like madmen.

With ten temporary servers hooked up at once, the channel lag was barely suppressed.

But the traffic didn't decrease; instead, it became even more ferocious.

"Everyone, keep posting!"

"For the buff, crash the server!"

"Happy Birthday to the Little Princess!!!"

In less than ten minutes, the blessing messages had surpassed ten million.

The entire platform seemed to be submerged by that single sentence.

Meanwhile, over at Luofeng Village, it was incredibly lively.

Some players began setting off fireworks right at the village entrance.

Bang!

A streak of crimson-gold light shot into the sky.

Then, blue, purple, green, and silver—one after another exploded.

The sky above the entire village was covered in fireworks.

The colorful flowing lights reflected off the green rain, the earthen slope, the piles of congratulatory gifts, and the upturned faces of countless players.

"Set off another one!"

"I have a Crown Prince Celebration Firework here, I'm using it!"

"Don't hold back! Today is like New Year's!"

At the village entrance, the trade routes, the dungeon entrances, and even over at Fengyu Village and Shiti Village, massive displays of fireworks lit up.

For a time, the entire Third Beginner District seemed to be enveloped in a sea of multicolored light.

Lin Chen giggled at the sight, swaying back and forth while holding the dragon egg.

"Little sister hasn't even come out yet, and everyone already likes her so much."

Xing Jianwan looked up at the sky filled with light and fire, the corner of her mouth curling slightly.

"Now the whole server is waiting for her."

Leaning against Lin Zhe, Ling Xi felt the fetal movements becoming clearer and clearer in her womb. Looking at the bustling village below, her eyes grew slightly warm.

She had never thought before that so many people would be this happy for an unborn child.

She had thought even less that she would feel this much peace of mind at such a time.

She looked up at Lin Zhe, her voice very soft.

"Lin Zhe."

"Hmm?"

"With you here, I'm not afraid at all."

Lin Zhe looked down at her, the Power of Rules and Natural Divine Power in his palm still circulating steadily.

"Then don't be afraid."

Ling Xi nodded gently, a tender smile on her lips, as she leaned her body even more dependently against him.

And the fireworks in the sky continued to explode.

The world channel continued to be flooded.

The entire Luofeng Village seemed submerged in blessings and light.

In front of Lin Zhe, the progress bar on the system panel also continued to advance slowly and steadily amidst the celebration.
