387: Chapter 387 The Second Child Boom

The next day, Qin Lin got up, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of his room.

In the hallway, Su Yuran was talking with Han Yurou.

Seeing Qin Lin come out, Su Yuran slowed her pace, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment, as if observing something.

Qin Lin walked over. "What is it?"

Su Yuran didn't answer, only saying, "Take care of yourself."

She turned and left.

Han Yurou followed behind her, took two steps, and looked back at Qin Lin, her eyes filled with meaning.

Qin Lin stood in the hallway and reached out to touch the white crystal stone in his pocket; it was warm and not glowing.

He felt that the women on The Ark all knew what he had done last night, but no one had brought it up.

In the living room, Murong Xue and Murong Wan were sitting together drinking tea.

Murong Xue lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.

Murong Wan's expression was calm, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.

The other women were busy with their own tasks, and no one looked at them specifically, but Qin Lin knew that everyone knew.

He walked into the living room and sat down opposite them. "Good morning."

Murong Xue looked up at him. "Morning."

Murong Wan picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Morning."

Qin Lin looked at them, feeling that life on The Ark was getting better and better.

The Ark continued to cruise through the Central Region Inland.

The reproduction plan was rapidly advancing on The Ark.

Han Yurou compiled a list of those willing to reproduce again and handed it to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin glanced at the list. It included Su Yuran, Lin Wanwan, Han Yurou, Li Ying, Xu Xue, Zhou Lingling, Zhou Yueyue, Xia Qiuyan, Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Fang, Wang Xiulan, Li Ran, and Su Yuling—almost every woman on The Ark who had already given birth to a child was on it.

"So many?" Qin Lin looked at the list, then looked up at Han Yurou.

Han Yurou nodded. "Yes, everyone wants to have another one."

Qin Lin was silent for a moment. "When are you planning to start?"

Han Yurou thought for a moment. "The sooner the better, of course. The more blessing points we have, the faster The Ark can upgrade."

Qin Lin nodded. "Alright, then we start tonight."

Han Yurou's eyes lit up. "Tonight? Then I'll go tell them."

She turned and ran off.

Qin Lin watched her retreating figure, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

He felt like a machine with a scheduled timetable, running back and forth between different women every day.

But he didn't feel tired, because every woman was worth it.

That evening, Qin Lin went to Su Yuran's room.

Su Yuran was wearing that white nightgown, her hair loose, sitting by the window reading a book.

Seeing him enter, she put down her book. "You're here."

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her. "Yes."

Qin Lin leaned down and kissed her.

He did not leave Su Yuran's room that night.

The next night, Qin Lin went to Lin Wanwan's room.

Lin Wanwan was wearing that light blue nightgown, her hair draped down, sitting on the edge of the bed knitting a sweater.

Seeing him enter, her hands paused. "Qin Lin, you're here."

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her. "What are you knitting?"

Lin Wanwan unfolded the sweater. "It's for Qin Yuan."

Qin Lin looked at the sweater; it was light blue, with fine, dense stitches and a small lace trim around the collar. "You knit so well."

Lin Wanwan's face flushed. "Thank you."

Qin Lin reached out and took her hand. "Wanwan, if we have another one, will you be tired?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head. "I won't be."

Qin Lin looked at her; there was a light in her eyes.

He leaned down and kissed her. Lin Wanwan closed her eyes, her hands resting on his shoulders.

He did not leave Lin Wanwan's room that night.

In the following days, Qin Lin changed rooms every day.

He went to Han Yurou's room, Li Ying's room, Xu Xue's room, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue's room, Xia Qiuyan's room, Lin Xiaoyue's room, Lin Fang's room, Wang Xiulan's room, Li Ran's room, and Su Yuling's room.

The women on The Ark were all waiting for him. Every day, he would emerge from one room and walk into another, like a bee flitting through a field of flowers.

Han Qing met him in the hallway once, and seeing the fatigue under his eyes, she said, "Take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, my body is fine, it's just that I'm a bit sore."

Han Qing looked at him. "Then come to my room tonight, and I'll give you a massage."

Qin Lin looked at her. "Aunt Qing, you've been very busy lately."

Han Qing nodded. "It won't stop me from giving you a massage."

Qin Lin smiled. "Alright."

That evening, Qin Lin went to Han Qing's room.

Han Qing was wearing that black spaghetti-strap nightgown, her hair loose, sitting on the edge of the bed.

She had him lie face down on the bed, and her hands pressed onto his shoulders with just the right amount of pressure, kneading away the fatigue of the day bit by bit.

"Aunt Qing." Qin Lin's voice was muffled by the pillow.

"Hmm."

"Do you think new people will still come to The Ark?"

Han Qing's hands paused. "That's a silly question. As long as the System is still scanning, it will find new passengers."

Qin Lin was silent for a moment. "I wonder how many more people there will be?"

Han Qing continued the massage. "Who cares? Anyway, you're not the one losing out. But you need to take care of yourself; with so many women waiting for you, you can't collapse."

Qin Lin smiled. "I won't collapse."

Han Qing patted his back. "That's good. The massage is done, go back and sleep."

Qin Lin sat up and looked at her. "Aunt Qing, I'm not leaving tonight."

Han Qing looked at him. "You're not going to anyone else's place?"

Qin Lin shook his head. "Tonight, I'm only staying with you."

The corners of Han Qing's mouth turned up slightly. She lay down and patted the spot beside her.

Qin Lin lay down beside her and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Han Qing leaned against his chest, the starry sky outside the window slowly rotating.

"Qin Lin."

"Hmm."

"Do you think, what will The Ark become in the future?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment. "Maybe it will become a mobile world."

Han Qing closed her eyes. "That would be nice."

The two of them lay quietly; the night was very deep.

Listening to Han Qing's steady breathing, Qin Lin also slowly fell asleep.

A week later, the System notification sound rang out again.

Qin Lin was in the Bridge looking at the star map when he heard that familiar knock. He opened the panel, saw the line of text, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Passenger Su Yuran has successfully become pregnant (second child)!]

[Reward: survival points +200,000, blessing points +1,000]

[Current survival points: 1,390,269, current blessing points: 18,600]

[All passengers' Physique +5%]

[Newborn talent locked: "Ice Soul". Ice attribute affinity increased, cultivation speed in environments rich in Spiritual Qi increased, Mental Energy intensity increased.]

Qin Lin closed the panel and walked out of the Bridge.

The door to Su Yuran's room was open. She was sitting by the window, holding a cup of hot milk, her expression very calm.

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her. "Yuran, you're pregnant."

Su Yuran put down the cup. "Yes, the System notified me too."

Su Yuran's mouth turned up slightly. "Qin An is going to have a younger brother or sister."

Qin Lin reached out and placed his hand on her stomach. "Rest well."

Su Yuran nodded. "I know."

The next day, Lin Wanwan also became pregnant.
