29: Chapter 29 Three Slaps Shatter a Man's Dream!

Looking at the personal panel again, the talent column had become blank.

Su Mo looked toward those two pitch-black spinning wheels:

"Next is the second reincarnation..."

Su Mo walked between the two spinning wheels with practiced ease, gripping each wheel with his hands and exerting force simultaneously.

Both wheels began to spin at the same time, their speed increasing rapidly.

Even though it was his second time spinning, Su Mo couldn't help but want to complain.

"Everything on here is just question marks; is there even any point in spinning? You might as well just give me two directly."

The wheels came to a halt as if in response, the two question marks growing larger until they finally turned into a streak of light that vanished into Su Mo's forehead.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Infinite Noodle Making]

[Skill: Infinite Noodle Making]

[Effect: Can summon an unlimited amount of noodles (flour, instant noodles, cup noodles, ramen...) anywhere within sight at any time.]

[CD: None]

[Note: Next, you will face infinite noodles!]

Seeing this skill description, Su Mo was truly laughed out of anger.

"System, the first time you gave me Infinite White Porridge, and this time you give me Infinite Noodle Making."

"Are you going to give me 'Infinite Steamed Buns' next time?!"

Su Mo held his forehead and said helplessly:

"Are you just obsessed with food?"

But his complaint didn't receive a response from the System; instead, another System introduction appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: Myriad Races Furnace]

[Talent: Myriad Races Furnace]

[Effect: Consuming flesh and blood allows the host to obtain its racial talents; talents can be stacked with no upper limit.]

[Note: Jie jie jie, human ability has its limits, so I—refuse to be human anymore!]

Looking at the description on the light screen, Su Mo's eyes widened.

"This skill seems quite reliable!"

Suddenly, the two spinning wheels in front of him merged, turning into a black vortex.

Before Su Mo could react, it sucked him in... Capital of the Qian Kingdom.

Government Entertainment.

When Su Mo's consciousness awakened again and he opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, dark space surrounded by liquid, unable to stretch at all.

Before long, he felt the surrounding liquid begin to drain, and a woman's scream came from outside.

"Quick, call the Midwife! I'm about to give birth!"

Su Mo then realized that his luck was good this time—he had reincarnated as a human!

The Midwife arrived quickly, and with a sense of pressure and the woman's muffled groans of effort, Su Mo finally breathed the fresh air outside.

Slowly opening his eyes, what came into view was a spacious room. The room was very clean and tidy, with a dressing table nearby covered in many exquisite cosmetics and luxurious gold and silver jewelry.

It was clear that the owner of this place was quite well-off.

Before Su Mo could see what his mother looked like, he was suddenly held upside down in mid-air.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Three overlapping palm prints appeared on Su Mo's tender buttocks.

"Why isn't this child crying?"

The Midwife's voice trembled slightly.

Su Mo secretly rolled his eyes; this level of force wasn't even as strong as Technician No. 8 at a foot massage parlor.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The Midwife gave three more slaps, each one harder than the last.

Su Mo clearly felt his buttocks becoming burning hot.

"Waa waa waa~"

Since Su Mo had reached adulthood, this was the first time he had cried so miserably.

It wasn't because the Midwife's slaps were too painful for him to bear, but because this body's tolerance was too low.

"He's crying, he's crying."

The Midwife immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped Su Mo in swaddling clothes, and brought him to a woman.

"Congratulations, Madam, it's a young master!"

Only then did Su Mo see his mother's appearance.

She was a young woman with a pale face that couldn't hide her noble air. Her messy hair clung to her damp forehead, and the hands holding Su Mo couldn't stop trembling.

Su Mo thought he would see a joyful mother after his birth, but this young woman's face held an indelible sorrow.

The woman smiled bitterly:

"What 'Madam'? I am nothing more than a person of lowly status."

"Please, Midwife, help me find a good family for this child. Su Wan will be deeply grateful."

Hearing this, not only was the Midwife stunned, but Su Mo's eyes also widened.

"Madam... you..."

Su Wan bit her pale lip, tears sliding down her face and dripping onto Su Mo's:

"I am merely the daughter of a disgraced official who was demoted to a Government Courtesan. If this child stays here, he will only end up like me."

After speaking, she propped up her weak body, leaning against the bedside, and slowly walked to the dressing table. She took out a silver ingot and placed it along with Su Mo into the Midwife's hands.

The Midwife's hands trembled:

"Madam... this old woman really..."

"Just go!"

Su Wan turned her head away and waved her hand gently.

Seeing this, the Midwife could only carry Su Mo and walk outside.

Just as she was about to leave the room, Su Wan's call came from behind.

"Wait!"

A cold hand stuffed an even colder object into Su Mo's swaddling clothes, and at the same time, a hard object was tucked beneath him.

"Go..."

...The Midwife took Su Mo on several detours before arriving at a small wooden door. Pushing it open, a draft of cold air blew through the crack, making her shiver.

The Midwife tightened her cotton-padded jacket, which had a few patches, and wrapped Su Mo in several more layers, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed.

Light snow was falling from the night sky, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

Through the gaps in his swaddling, Su Mo saw pedestrians in small groups of two or three on the street, most looking hurried.

After a long time, the Midwife circled to the back of a three-story building and lightly knocked on a wooden door.

"Neither crying nor fussing, with such lively eyes, he's clearly a bright boy."

"A pity I already have eight children; I really can't afford another."

The door opened with a "creak," revealing the face of a young man.

"Old Lady Wang? In the middle of the night..."

The young man recognized the newcomer as the Midwife who had previously delivered the shopkeeper's wife's baby.

"Xiao Er, where is your shopkeeper?"

"The shopkeeper has already retired for the night. Do you have some business?"

Hearing this, the Midwife was somewhat disappointed, but she still lowered her voice and brought Su Mo forward.

"I know that since the shopkeeper's wife died during childbirth, he has always wanted a child."

"It just so happens a family gave birth to a child they felt they couldn't afford to raise, and they asked me to find a good home."

Only then did Xiao Er notice that Old Lady Wang was holding a male infant, his eyes dark and bright, seemingly full of intelligence.

"This child is naturally gifted; he will surely become a Dragon among men when he grows up. Please ask the shopkeeper to take him in."

Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Xiao Er's face as he took Su Mo from Old Lady Wang's arms.

"That's great! The shopkeeper will definitely be happy when he sees this child. I'll take him to him right now."

"You can go now, Old Lady Wang."

"Creak."

Before Old Lady Wang could say thanks, the door was shut.

Seeing this, she wasn't annoyed; instead, she was happy that Su Mo could go to a good home... Who knew that after closing the door, Xiao Er seemed like a different person.
