章 14: CH14; SP Shop

Zhang Lian scanned the list of items, her eyes narrowing as she processed the information.

She couldn't help but think, These items may seem cheap, but can't be compared to the skill that can improve talent.

Zhang Lian's expression turned serious. Her eyes narrowed, and she clenched her fists slightly as she asked, "Is there any pill that can turn me into a man? That way, I can have babies with other women.

I really don't want to get pregnant myself." Her irritated voice showed how much she wanted to avoid the responsibility of carrying a child.

The cat, who had been cautiously watching Zhang Lian's expression, hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Host, there is a pill, but I have to warn you... the children still need to be born by you, or it won't count. And the pill only works for a short time—just 1 hour."

As the cat explained, it extended a paw and swiped at the screen. The system interface change, and a new item appeared:

[System; Baby Making System]

Shop

items:

- Gender Swap Pill - 1 NP (!)

Temporarily changes the user's gender for 1 hour, but can't produce sperm like man, Recommend to use for hiding purpose.

Zhang Lian's eyes looked over the screen. The price was low, but the pill is almost useless.

The cat, sensing the tension, tried to retreat into the screen, But Zhang Lian just sighed, her body relaxing slightly.

Zhang Lian's disappointment can be seen easily. She let out a slow breath and asked, "Can I buy anything with the SP?"

The cat, sensing her mood, tried to be encouraging. "Yes, host," as it moved its little paw across the screen to apply a filter. "SP points are mostly related to talent, so you can purchase things that can improve your abilities."

Zhang Lian watched as the system screen shifted, displaying a list of items. The cat's claw pointed at them.

Zhang Lian's eyes scanned the list, her expression a mix of curiosity and She noticed the "locked" marks, and a slight frown appeared on her face.

The cat noticed her frown and quickly said, "Don't worry, host! These items will be available in the future when you're stronger."

Zhang Lian's posture straightened a bit as she considered her options.

Zhang Lian frowned as she scanned the list of items. "These are all so expensive. but they do seem pretty useful."

The cat then said,"host, these items aren't even at their max level. You'll need to upgrade them in the future with more points, nya."

Zhang Lian's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, so you're telling me I have to keep spending more after I buy them? What kind of nonsense is this?"

The cat nervously went inside the screen, its tail twitching as it tried to calm her down. "Nya, now that you know how everything works... maybe it's time to start having babies, nya?"

Zhang Lian shot the cat a glare, her face a mixture of anger, while the cat quickly hid its head, avoiding her gaze.

Zhang Lian's face filled with frustration, her eyebrows moved down together as she crossed her arms, tapping her foot impatiently.

Then she asked, "What's my current capacity to bear a baby, and how on earth would I manage to carry 100 babies in the future?" Her voice filled with confusion, her eyes looking at the cat.

The cat, flicking its tail nervously, hesitated before replying, "Nya, didn't I already explain? It depends on your body strength. Right now, your capacity is 0.8, but the system rounds it up to 1, nya." The cat's ears flickered.

Zhang Lian uncrossed her arms, in confusion. "I still don't get it. Explain it more clearly. And asked, "what about my stomach?", "Will it expand like a mountain if I have 1,000 babies?"

The cat shook its head. "Nya, you're wrong, host," it said, its voice a casually voice. "Your stomach will expand, but not like a mountain—more like... smaller than this room for 1,000 babies, but yes, it will expand, nya."

Zhang Lian's anger boiled over. The cat's casual tone had pushed her past her limit. With a swift motion, she punched the cat, sending it flying across the screen. The impact was so strong that the cat rolled back into the system, disappearing into it.

The cat reappeared, visibly shaken, its fur ruffled and ears flat against its head. "Nya! Don't worry, host! There's a solution!" it spoke, moving its hand at the system interface.

Within moments, an item appeared on the screen:

----

[Baby Pouch]

This multidimensional baby pouch will be built inside your body to hold babies and avoid expanding your stomach. Price 20 SP

----

The cat pointed to the screen with a trembling paw, trying to sound hopeful. "Nya, with this, you won't need to worry about your stomach expanding like a mountain.

But remember, your body needs to have proper nutrients to support this, nya..." The cat nervously watches Zhang Lian for any sign of another outburst.

The cat cautiously continued, "Nya, host, this item will definitely help, but your body still needs to be strong enough. People don't die because of stomach expansion; they die during childbirth."

"That's why it's so important to make your body stronger, nya to have more babies or you will always be stuck on 1 child at a time, if your body remains weaker, nya."

The cat hesitated, then added, "And, host, you'll also need to supply enough nutrients to support the babies and also need to increase child bearing capacity to increase the number of babies you can bear according to the system, nya."

"Now, go find a man with the spiritual root if possible and start having babies! & stop punching me," while rubbing his face.

Zhang Lian, narrowing her eyes, interrupted, "Wait a minute. Do the parents' spiritual roots affect the children's spiritual roots?"

Obviously it would. Why did you ask?

Zhang Lian's face flushed with anger. Her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes blazed as she shouted, "You fucking system! If you hadn't absorbed my spiritual roots, I would have entered the sect and easily found a relationship with a man who has strong spiritual roots!" Her frustration was palpable, her voice trembling with rage and disappointment.

I understand your frustration, but I had to absorb your spiritual roots to keep you safe! If you had kept them and tried to blend in with the cultivators, they would've retested you. And if they found out you were cheating... boom! You would have died!"

Zhang Lian took a deep breath, her anger subsiding as she considered the cat's words. She asked, "Is there anything that can help me detect talent in someone using SP?"

The cat, still cautious, nodded. "Yes, host, there is a skill for that, but you don't have enough SP right now. Instead, you might want to buy this technique for 20 NP or this item for 20 NP," the cat said, pointing to the options displayed in the shop.

The screen showed:

[Basic Talent Detection Technique] - 20 NP

*Helps in detecting the basic talent of individuals.*

[Detection Stone ] - 10 NP

*An item that assists in identifying spritual roots, similar to what many cultivators use.*

She looked at the price but could do nothing but sigh, as she processed this information. "How do I close this window?" she asked, looking at the system screen..

As the cat finished explaining, it demonstrated how to close the system window, and with a flick of its claw, the window disappeared.

Zhang Lian, still holding the cat tightly, asked, "Then why are you still here?"

The cat, slightly panicked and trying to avoid Zhang Lian's, said, "Nya, I'm here to assist you.

The cat, trying to sound reassuring, said, "Host, you don't need to worry. No one can see me. Look, I'm just 0 years old; I want to see the world too."

Zhang Lian raised an eyebrow, skeptical, and said, "But you seem quite intelligent for a 0-year-old."

The cat stood up with pride and replied, "I'm a system assistant, of course I'm smarter than other people!"

Zhang Lian in frustration glared at the cat "So, you'll just stick around me, spouting nonsense?"

The cat, with a nervous twitch, replied, "No, host, I'm actually quite smart and can help you a lot."

Zhang Lian, still frustrated, demanded, "Like how?"

"I can provide information and act as a spy to overhear others' conversations. However, I can only stay within 2 square meter of you and can't go further."

Zhang Lian's expression turned to one of irritation. Her brows furrowed, and her hands were on her hips as she retorted, "So you're basically useless. Can anyone else touch you or you can touch anyone or anything?"

The cat, retreating slightly, responded, "No, host, I can only be touched by you and I can't touch other things too."

Zhang Lian rolled her eyes, clearly not happy, as she considered the cat's limited ability.

Zhang Lian sighed in frustration as she looked at the cat. "So, you can't even hold a sword or anything?"

The cat, looking down, replied, "Yes, host."

With an annoyed shake of her head, Zhang Lian muttered, "You're really useless, but I'll have to bear with you."

She then turned her attention to her appearance. Zhang Lian straightened her dress, smoothing out any creases. Her movements were precise and quick. Once satisfied, she walked over to the door.

She gripped the door handle firmly and pulled it open with a sharp, deliberate motion.

As Zhang Lian opened the door, she found a maid standing outside, looking both relieved and anxious. The maid, named Dhun Hua, had a gentle demeanor with her long, black hair neatly arranged in a braid. She wore a simple elegant light blue and white dress of a maid.

"Miss, Lady Li has asked if you've calmed down. She wishes to speak with you," Dhun Hua said, her voice respectful and slightly hesitant.

Zhang Lian rubbed her hands towards her stomach. "That's fine, but I'm hungry. I need food."

"Miss, your meal today will be arranged with your parents. They have been waiting for you for over an hour."

Zhang Lian nodded and started thinking that not only had she missed her meal but her parents had also delayed their own. It shows her how much they cared about her and valued her opinion.

With a soft sigh, she straightened her dress "ok let's go," she said, her voice more composed now, and the cat followed behind looking everything curiously.
