24: Chapter 24 The Second Baby is Born, This Time the Reward is a Single-Soldier Exoskeleton

"Comrade Lin Yun, Comrade Nightingale's check-up report is out."

Old Chen's voice carried a hint of irrepressible excitement.

Lin Yun hurried back to the villa from the semiconductor laboratory.

"Everything is normal. The fetus is developing well, and all indicators have reached the S-rank potential standard." Old Chen handed a thick report to Lin Yun, his face beaming with joy.

Qin Zihan sat in the living room, looking at the report with a gentle smile on her lips.

Nightingale was wearing loose military training gear. Although her baby bump was clearly visible, her posture remained upright, and her eyes flashed with the determination unique to a soldier.

She sat on the sofa, gently stroking her abdomen, her face showing a rare, maternal softness.

Although her morning sickness was not as severe as Qin Zihan's, as a soldier, she maintained a certain intensity of physical training during her pregnancy, which made her appear uniquely different.

"Comrade Nightingale, you've worked hard during this time." Lin Yun took the report, his gaze lingering on Nightingale for a moment.

He knew that Nightingale was different from Qin Zihan.

Qin Zihan's prenatal education consisted of immersion in quantum mechanics and superstring theory, and the permeation of high-dimensional information streams.

As for Nightingale's prenatal education, it consisted of the sounds of firearm disassembly and assembly, the breakdown of combat techniques, and sand table exercises for tactical deployment.

During training breaks, she would even gently stroke her belly and whisper about those thrilling mission experiences, passing on her blood and loyalty as a soldier to the child in her womb in the most primitive and direct way possible.

She hoped that her child would possess an innate, powerful physique and an iron will.

"It's not hard work, Mr. Pangu. This is my duty." Nightingale's voice still carried the crispness and decisiveness unique to a soldier.

When she looked at Lin Yun, her eyes held not only respect but also a deep sense of trust and... an indescribable emotion.

She knew that what she was nurturing was not just her child, but the future of the Dragon Kingdom.

Lin Yun nodded. He could feel the resilient and vibrant life force of the fetus in Nightingale's womb.

It was an aura completely different from Qin Zihan's child, possessing more explosive power and more of a "combat" attribute.

[Ding! Detected S-rank offspring's cerebral cortex neuron connection complexity, which has exceeded the average level of fetuses of the same gestational age by 600%! And it has initially demonstrated extraordinary neural reflex and muscle control potential!]

The system's notification sound rang in Lin Yun's mind.

As expected.

This child would be a born warrior!

"Comrade Nightingale, it is expected that you can enter the delivery room the day after tomorrow." Old Chen looked at Nightingale, his voice carrying a hint of gentleness.

He knew that for a soldier, pregnancy and childbirth were a brand-new experience in life.

Nightingale gave a soft "Mm," a flash of nervousness appearing in her eyes, but it was mostly anticipation.

She looked forward to the arrival of the new life and also looked forward to being able to make greater contributions to the country as a soldier.

Two days later.

It was in that same highest-level delivery room.

Lin Yun held Nightingale's hand tightly.

This time, there was no phenomenon of "purple clouds coming from the east" outside the delivery room, but the atmosphere inside was equally tense and sacred.

Although Nightingale was a soldier with excellent physical fitness, in the face of the excruciating pain of childbirth, she still couldn't help but grit her teeth, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.

"Nightingale, push! Push again!"

The chief surgeon shouted, their voice filled with anxiety.

Lin Yun looked at Nightingale's pained expression, his heart trembling slightly.

He gently infused life energy into her body to help her relieve the pain and stabilize her emotions.

He knew that what Nightingale was enduring was the greatness of a mother and the resilience of a soldier.

"Ah—!"

A roar of extreme pain, yet full of strength, erupted from Nightingale's mouth.

"Waa—!"

A loud cry of a baby pierced the silence of the delivery room!

"It's a girl!" the nurse shouted excitedly, "Healthy! Very healthy!"

Nightingale leaned weakly in Lin Yun's arms. She looked at her daughter, who was being carried to her side by the nurse, and for the first time, a gentle smile full of maternal love appeared on that usually stern face.

Her daughter was a tiny bundle with fair skin, eyes tightly closed, yet in Lin Yun's perception, she radiated a powerful life force that made one's heart palpitate.

[Ding! Detected successful birth of S-rank offspring! Milestone achievement "Origin of Life Step Two" reached!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received the "S-rank Offspring Birth" special reward gift package!] [Reward drawing in progress... Congratulations, Host, you have received—]

The system's notification sound boomed in Lin Yun's mind like thunder from the nine heavens!

He knew that this "birth gift" belonging to Nightingale's child would be something completely different!

He looked forward to seeing how shocking this black technology, capable of enhancing the Dragon Kingdom's military strength, would be!

"Comrade Lin Yun, congratulations! Congratulations on having another daughter!"

Outside the delivery room, Old Chen and Xiao Zhang were equally excited.

They knew this meant that the "Pangu Project" had achieved another milestone success!

Lin Yun gently stroked his daughter's little cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness.

[Congratulations, Host, you have received—<<Individual Exoskeleton System full set of design blueprints, manufacturing processes, and supporting tactical coordination software!>>!]

The moment this line of text, along with a massive stream of data, flooded into Lin Yun's mind, he froze.

Individual Exoskeleton System?!

Lin Yun's heart jolted, and a flash of uncontrollable ecstasy crossed his face!

This was not just a piece of ordinary individual equipment; this was an epoch-making black technology capable of completely changing the future of warfare!

It meant that every ordinary soldier of the Dragon Kingdom would possess strength comparable to a super soldier!

It meant that the army of Eagle Sauce, which claimed to be the most powerful in the world, would be reduced to a second-rate force!

Lin Yun looked up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He knew that this grand gift had come at just the right time!

Was the ten-nation fleet of Eagle Sauce still brandishing their might in the South China Sea?

He wanted to see how much longer they could act so arrogantly once the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom were equipped with the Individual Exoskeleton System and armed with black-tech weapons!

A playful arc curled at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.

He couldn't wait to see how this "Individual Exoskeleton System" would stir up an unprecedented storm on the battlefield!
