117: Chapter 117 also wants to contribute to the team.

Han Qing ate her meal in silence, occasionally looking up at Xu Xue with a complex expression.

She noticed that Xu Xue's entire aura had changed.

She was more confident, more relaxed, and felt more like a member of this family.

But what about herself?

She was still that awkward existence.

A doctor?

The System was already replacing her role.

A woman?

Unable to conceive a child, even that identity felt incomplete.

"Aunt Qing, you don't look too well. Are you okay?" Lin Wanwan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, maybe I just didn't sleep well last night," Han Qing forced a smile.

Su Yuran glanced at her and said nothing, but she understood perfectly.

She knew what Han Qing was anxious about.

She also knew that this kind of anxiety was a good thing.

It could push Han Qing to take the initiative and speed up the mission's progress.

After breakfast, everyone made their own preparations.

Qin Lin set the route in the Drivers Cabin, with Su Yuran assisting by his side.

"From the manor to the High-tech Zone is about fifteen kilometers. Under normal road conditions, it would take half an hour, but now..."

"It might take an hour and a half."

"No rush. Anyway, the people are there; they can't run away."

She paused, then suddenly smiled:

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank my dad. If he hadn't invested everywhere, where would we get so many resources now?"

"Qin Lin, if those women meet the criteria, they'll be our help once they're on the vehicle. If they don't... then we'll handle them according to the situation."

She spoke very calmly and rationally.

Qin Lin knew she was taking a form of indirect revenge for her father abandoning her and her mother.

"Besides, I think my dad's taste shouldn't be bad."

"The women he likes should have looks and quality that are up to par. For example, my mom, a woman who has given birth to two children, looks about the same as Aunt Qing now."

"This saves us the trouble of screening."

Qin Lin gave a bitter smile. "You've certainly got it all calculated."

"Of course, I am Mistress No. 001; I have to consider this family."

"One more eligible passenger means one more bit of strength, one more child, and one more hope for an upgrade."

"It's the simplest math problem."

Qin Lin seriously doubted if she had been possessed by the System or given a separate mission.

Otherwise, how could she be so proactive?

"System, is this your doing?"

[The System only issues missions and rewards; it does not participate in other matters.]

[Regarding mission enthusiasm, it is recommended that the Host learn more from Female Passenger No. 001.]

Fine!

He asked a question and got lectured instead.

Su Yuran looked out the window, her gaze deep.

"I only hope... my mom is still alive."

Qin Lin held her hand. "We'll find her."

"Mm."

The RV slowly drove out of the Su Family manor, heading toward the High-tech Zone in the west of the city.

Everyone on the vehicle had different thoughts.

Xu Xue was resting in bedroom no. 004, her hand gently placed on her lower abdomen, a peaceful smile on her face.

Lin Wanwan was reading a book in the living room, occasionally touching her belly, feeling the existence of a new life.

Han Yurou and Su Yuling were busy at the ecological box, the two girls chatting and laughing.

But Han Yurou's eyes would occasionally drift toward the Drivers Cabin with a hint of loss.

Han Qing was organizing medicine in the Medical Room, her movements mechanical, her mind already far away.

Qin Lin was thinking about the changes in the System.

blessing points...

This newly appeared reward mechanism might completely change his upgrade strategy.

He didn't need to work so hard to find crystal stones anymore.

Quietly completing missions was the optimal solution.

Of course, the premise was... being able to find enough eligible female passengers.

He looked at the snow-covered road ahead, a strange anticipation rising in his heart.

Su Zhenyun, oh Su Zhenyun, just how many treasures have you hidden?

We're coming for you.

...

The RV drove steadily on the snow-covered road.

Inside the vehicle, the atmosphere remained subtle.

Lin Wanwan sat on the sofa in the living room, a parenting book in her hand, but her mind wasn't on the book.

She looked up toward the Drivers Cabin, then at the closed door of bedroom no. 004, a gentle smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Another sister added.

Another child added.

Qin Lin had completed another mission.

This was the part she was truly happy about.

As Passenger No. 002, Lin Wanwan had a very clear understanding of her own position.

She wasn't a woman with leadership abilities like Su Yuran.

Nor was she a doctor with professional skills like Han Qing.

She was just a gentle, considerate, and ordinary woman.

Her value lay in supporting Qin Lin, taking care of the team, and bearing offspring.

Now, Xu Xue was also pregnant.

This meant Qin Lin was one step closer to his goal.

The hope for the RV's upgrade was a bit greater.

This was good.

Really good.

She touched her lower abdomen.

Although she hadn't been pregnant for long, after her Physique improved, she could clearly feel the changes in her body.

Her energy was better, and even her skin had become more lustrous.

The System's rewards were exceptionally favorable toward pregnant women.

This gave her full confidence in her future pregnancy.

"Sister Wanwan, what are you thinking about?"

Han Yurou leaned over and sat down beside her.

"Thinking about what the children will look like after they are born."

Lin Wanwan smiled. "Three children, it will certainly be lively."

"Yeah!"

Han Yurou's eyes were sparkling.

"When the time comes, I can help you take care of the babies! I especially like children!"

"Then you'll have to learn well how to look after infants."

Lin Wanwan patted her head.

"That's a skillful job."

"I'll definitely learn well!"

Han Yurou nodded vigorously, but a barely perceptible flash of loss crossed her eyes.

She was also thinking about children.

But not other people's children, rather... her and Qin Lin's child.

But Qin Lin didn't seem to like her.

Otherwise, why did Xu Xue get pregnant after only being here for two days?

While she had been here for so long, and Qin Lin hadn't even touched her?

Was she not pretty enough?

Or not sensible enough?

Han Yurou looked down at herself.

An 18-year-old body, youthful and energetic, with everything she should have.

She didn't think she was any worse than Xu Xue.

Was it just because her 'teddy bears' weren't as big as theirs?

Why did Qin Lin just have no feeling for her?

This question troubled her, making her heart feel heavy.

But she didn't dare to show it.

Her mother had warned her not to have any ideas about Qin Lin.

And there were already so many sisters on the vehicle.

What right did she have to compete?

But... but she just liked Qin Lin.

From the moment she was rescued and brought onto the vehicle, she had liked this powerful and gentle brother.

This liking, with the passage of time, had not faded but had instead grown deeper.

But now, seeing Xu Xue become a meritorious contributor overnight.

Seeing everyone congratulating her, Han Yurou felt sour inside.

She also wanted to get pregnant.

She also wanted to contribute to the team.

She also wanted... to become Brother Lin's real woman.

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

...
