Lin Luo finally let out a sigh of relief; this problem was finally about to be resolved.
At this moment, he decided to check on his system interface, which he hadn't looked at for a while.
[Growth Mainline Period: Nursing Phase]
[Current Mainline Mission: Collect Growth Points]
[Total Growth Points Collected: 0]
[Remaining Time for Current Phase: Six Months]
[Note: The system will upgrade in six months, advancing to the "Childhood Phase."]
[At that time, the "Mainline Mission" will be updated.]
Interesting, very interesting.
So the so-called "upgrade" is just a transition from the nursing phase to the childhood phase.
The mainline mission for the nursing phase is to collect growth points, but what will the childhood phase require?
Lin Luo realized that the system he had in this life was completely different from the one in his previous life.
This system was incredibly innovative!
It seemed his growth trajectory this time would be entirely different.
Lin Luo even wondered whether his martial spirit in this life would differ from his previous one. Could it mutate under Qian Renxue's influence? Or maybe the system itself would alter it?
As Lin Luo pondered these things, Qian Renxue had already carried him out of the Pope's Hall.
It looked like she was getting ready to nurse him.
This girl sure is action-oriented, not one to dawdle.
Well, keep it up, raise this God King properly, and I promise I'll repay you when the time comes.
With some spare time, Lin Luo continued exploring his system.
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the "Growth Side Mission" feature.]
[Growth Side Phase: Nursing Period]
[Current Side Mission: Complete daily tasks for infants in the nursing period to collect lottery points.]
[Task 1: Nursing]
[Points Rewarded: 100 points per session]
[Task 2: Sleeping]
[Points Rewarded: 100 points per session]
[Task 3: Defecating]
[Points Rewarded: 100 points per session]
[Task 4: Urinating]
[Points Rewarded: 100 points per session]
[Task 5: First Time Rolling Over]
[Points Rewarded: 500 points]
[Task 6: Crawling]
[Points Rewarded: 500 points per 50 meters]
[Task 7: First Time Calling "Mom"]
[Points Rewarded: 2000 points]
[Task 8: Walking]
[Points Rewarded: 1000 points per 50 meters]
[Current Total Lottery Points: 100]
Looking at these eight tasks, Lin Luo was stunned.
The side missions are this easy???
I just need to eat, drink, sleep, and... handle basic bodily functions to rack up lottery points?
What exactly are these lottery points?
Lin Luo glanced over and realized that in the side mission interface, there was a large spinning wheel.
Each spin costs 500 points.
So, the prizes are essentially the side mission rewards, huh?
It seems the side missions might actually be more appealing than the mainline ones!
But Lin Luo noticed that the points earned from basic activities like eating, drinking, and sleeping weren't that high.
However, tasks like rolling over, crawling, calling "Mom," and walking awarded much more.
These tasks, though, seemed a bit challenging for a newborn like him during the nursing phase.
Especially the walking task.
Lin Luo remembered from his past life that he didn't start walking until he was about one year old.
Now, having to learn to walk within six months of birth—way too hard.
As for the reward for calling "Mom"... 2000 points!
That's generous!
It would give me four chances to spin the wheel, and all I need to do is say two words.
Lin Luo tried to say "Mom" out loud.
"Yaa-ya!"
Huh? What the heck? I clearly said "Mom," so how did it come out as "yaa-ya"?
Lin Luo was completely baffled.
Qian Renxue looked down at him at this moment and gently comforted him, "I know, I know, I'll feed you soon. Just give me a moment to find a private room, okay?"
Lin Luo: "..."
It seems like I'm just too young to speak properly yet.
Before long, Qian Renxue arrived at the door to her room.
She didn't enter immediately; instead, she quickly looked around, her beautiful eyes full of vigilance, like a thief on a secret mission.
After confirming there was no one around, she carefully carried the baby into the room.
Placing him gently on the bed, she quickly locked the door and pulled the curtains tight.
"Whew—"
Qian Renxue leaned back against the door and took a deep breath.
Big Sis, you're just feeding your child… Why are you acting like you're on a covert operation?
At that moment, Lin Luo heard the sound of a metal belt hitting the floor.
He turned his head and froze.
Under the dim candlelight, in the softly lit room, Qian Renxue's outer robe had slipped off slightly, revealing the graceful curves of her figure.
She walked slowly toward him and sat on the edge of the bed, picking Lin Luo up in her arms.
The scent she exuded was warm and comforting, making one feel at ease.
"You better not let me down in the future, understand?"
Qian Renxue playfully tapped Lin Luo's cheek with her slender finger and smiled faintly.
Then, she moved her hand to her chest, slowly loosening her robe with graceful fingers.
The fabric slid off her smooth shoulders, and her half-exposed figure came into view. Her fair, flawless skin gleamed like fine jade under the faint light.
The delicate collarbone led down to gentle curves, a perfect snowy landscape rising and falling, and what Lin Luo had been yearning for lay there, round and pristine, like twin hills.
Lin Luo stared in awe, until the soft warmth gently pressed against his face. He closed his eyes, sinking into the cozy sensation, like sinking into soft clouds.
Qian Renxue carefully positioned him, her movements a little shy, a bit clumsy.
It seemed like neither of them had much experience with this...
It took Lin Luo a while, but he finally managed to latch on.
In the quiet room, Lin Luo, following his instincts, nursed while staring up at Qian Renxue with his big eyes. She gazed back at him tenderly.
The mainline mission was progressing, and growth points were being collected.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was already thinking about the future.
She definitely wanted to keep the child with her, rather than leaving him in the Spirit Hall.
Once back at the Heaven Dou Palace, she would say the child's parents had passed away, and that she had adopted him.
When he was older, she would send him to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
But… what would his martial spirit be?
Would it be a Six-Winged Angel?
Would that cause a stir at the academy?
Qian Renxue's curiosity grew.
Slurp, slurp, slurp...
The little guy was nursing so vigorously it tickled. Qian Renxue had to distract herself with other thoughts.
Oh! She still hadn't given him a name!
After a while, Lin Luo finished feeding, burped contentedly, and loosened his grip.
Qian Renxue straightened her clothes and said to Lin Luo, "What should I name you?"
Receiving no response, she frowned slightly, sensing something. Lifting the swaddling cloth, she froze.
Two chubby little legs twitched, and from between them, a stream of liquid shot straight up like a fountain.
Before she could react, her beautiful face was splashed with a spray of warm liquid.
Qian Renxue was stunned.
A moment later, she clenched her teeth, eyes blazing with fury as she growled, "You little brat!"
[Congratulations! You have completed both the "Nursing" and "Urinating" side missions. 200 lottery points earned.]
Lin Luo, ignoring Qian Renxue's current rage, closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Sorry, I've got side missions to complete. Don't forget to change my diaper, Mother Dearest.
