Qin Lin looked at the words on the panel, feeling that Bai Lu's child would surely be as gentle as she was.

He closed the panel and walked out of the Bridge.

Bai Lu was sitting by the window reading a book. Seeing him enter, she put the book down: "Do you know?"

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her: "Yeah, the System notified me."

Bai Lu looked down and touched her stomach: "Finally pregnant."

Qin Lin reached out and placed his hand on the back of hers: "You should rest well."

Bai Lu nodded: "You too."

Jiang Xue was the last one.

She was also the hardest of the six to get close to, like a sleeping iceberg.

When Qin Lin went to find her, she was sitting by the window. That pot of green Spiritual Plant had already grown new leaves, lush and green, glistening in the sunlight.

Hearing Qin Lin enter, she didn't turn around: "You're here."

Qin Lin walked over and sat down opposite her: "Jiang Xue, I came here today to ask you something."

Jiang Xue turned her head to look at him: "What is it?"

Qin Lin looked into her eyes: "Are you willing to bear a child for me?"

Jiang Xue was silent for a long time.

Qin Lin did not rush her, waiting quietly.

The starry sky outside the window was slowly rotating, and time ticked by second by second.

Finally, Jiang Xue spoke.

"Qin Lin, do you know why I don't talk to people?"

Qin Lin shook his head: "I don't know."

Jiang Xue lowered her head to look at her hands: "Because talking is exhausting. Back when I was in the Sect, I had to talk to many people every day—Senior Sisters, Junior Martial Uncles, and guests coming to ask for medicine."

"Later, the apocalypse came, and I didn't have to talk to anyone anymore."

"I thought I would get used to it, but later I realized that when I don't talk, my heart grows cold."

She raised her head to look at Qin Lin: "After you came to find me, I started talking. Although not much, my heart hasn't been as cold."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Then are you willing?"

Jiang Xue looked at him, silent for a while: "I am."

Qin Lin reached out and held her hand.

Jiang Xue's hand was very cold, like a block of ice.

Qin Lin did not let go, holding her hand, warming it bit by bit.

That night, Qin Lin went to Jiang Xue's room.

Jiang Xue was wearing that white nightgown, her hair loose, sitting by the bed.

She didn't speak, but her eyes were very bright under the lamplight.

That night, Qin Lin did not leave Jiang Xue's room.

Jiang Xue was colder than any other woman, but her body was slowly warming up.

She wouldn't laugh, wouldn't cry, and wouldn't call his name, but her fingers kept clutching his hem, clutching it very tightly.

A few days later, the System notification echoed in every corner of The Ark.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Passenger Jiang Xue has successfully become pregnant!]

[Reward: survival points + 100,000, blessing points + 500]

[Current survival points: 2,790,269, current blessing points: 37,400]

[All passengers' Physique + 3%]

[Newborn talent locked as "Frost". Ice-element affinity increased. Cultivate speed increased in environments rich in ice Spiritual Qi, and body temperature regulation ability enhanced.]

Qin Lin looked at the words on the panel, feeling that Jiang Xue's child would surely be like her—cold on the outside, Warmth on the inside.

He closed the panel and walked out of the Bridge.

Jiang Xue's room door was open. She was sitting by the window, holding that pot of green Spiritual Plant, watering it.

Qin Lin looked at her and felt she was much warmer than when she first boarded the ship.

Although the change was small, she was indeed changing.

...

After all six new passengers became pregnant, the number of pregnant women on The Ark grew increasingly larger.

Every day, over twenty pregnant women sat together in the living room chatting; the scene was as spectacular as a large obstetrics waiting room.

Su Yuran sat by the window, Lin Wanwan sat next to her, Han Yurou sat on the sofa, Li Ying lay on the massage chair, Xu Xue sat on the carpet, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue sat side by side, Xia Qiuyan leaned against the wall, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Fang sat together, Wang Xiulan sat next to Lin Wanwan, Li Ran and Su Yuling sat in the corner, Zhao Shuang sat by the coffee table, Lin Qing sat next to Zhao Shuang, Zhou Wan sat by the window, Shen Yue sat next to Liu Ruyan, Bai Lu sat next to Han Qing, and Jiang Xue sat next to Su Han.

When Qin Lin walked into the living room, twenty-four pregnant women looked up at him simultaneously.

The scene went quiet for a moment, then Liu Ruyan was the first to speak: "Qin Lin, you're here!"

Qin Lin sat down among them: "Yeah, came to see you all."

Han Yurou sat up from the sofa: "Qin Lin, how many blessing points did the System reward?"

Qin Lin opened the panel and took a look: "Current blessing points: 37,400."

Han Yurou's eyes lit up: "Thirty-seven thousand."

Su Yuran looked at him: "Then what do you plan to do next?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment: "Continue working hard, let those who haven't become pregnant do so as soon as possible."

The pregnant women in the living room looked at each other; no one spoke.

But Qin Lin saw the same thing in their eyes—determination.

Days on The Ark continued, new life was being conceived, and hope was growing.

In the following days, Qin Lin focused his energy on those women who hadn't become pregnant yet.

There were still a few women on The Ark who hadn't conceived their second child; they were either new passengers who had just completed their bond, or old passengers whose bodies still needed Recovery.

Qin Lin shuttled between different rooms every night, like a bee gathering nectar in a flower field.

The blessing points on The Ark increased bit by bit, and survival points were also slowly accumulating.

The System notification would sound every few days, and each time it brought new good news.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]

[Reward: survival points + 100,000, blessing points + 500]

[Current survival points: 2,890,269, current blessing points: 37,900]

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

[Current survival points: 3,190,269, current blessing points: 39,400]

Qin Lin looked at the numbers on the panel, his heartbeat accelerating.

The number of pregnant women on The Ark reached thirty.

Thirty pregnant women, thirty new lives being conceived.

The living room went quiet for a moment, then the System notification sounded again. This time it wasn't a "Ding," but a long, horn-like melody.

Golden light surged from every corner of The Ark, washing over everyone's ankles like a tide.

The holographic screen automatically lit up, and a few large words appeared on the interface.

["Many Children, Many Blessings" permanent mission milestone reached!]

[Milestone name: Prosperous Offspring]

[Condition met: 30 pregnant women on The Ark simultaneously]

[Reward: The Ark Upgraded for Free!]
