Lin Muci watched Ling Qianhe’s unpredictable expression silently. The screen cut off, and she touched her chin, voicing a conclusion she herself found almost unbelievable.
“Could Ling Qianhe really be…”
“Having feelings for me?”
“But I was completely in beast form before. He didn’t have to be so…”
Lin Muci coughed twice. After thinking it over, she cautiously uttered two words.
“So unnecessarily… desperate.”
Hearing Lin Muci say this, the little rabbit opposite her excitedly hopped onto her lap again. Then, shaking its head, the little rabbit spoke.
“Who knows. But Host, you know, you and he have a fate spanning generations. If he truly harbors special feelings for you, it’s also quite normal.”
“He really does have feelings for Host.”
“Besides, you were in beast form before, but you can transform into a human now.”
“Oh, right, Host, I forgot to tell you. Female beasts have another setting, which might differ slightly from your previous world. That is, female beasts have estrus periods. Host, please pay close attention to this.”
Lin Muci was quite at ease before.
Hearing the little system’s words, she was instantly stunned.
“Wh-what?”
“Estrus periods?”
It took her three seconds to realize what the little system meant by estrus period. Her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she mumbled.
“How could there be such a setting…”
“How often does it happen?”
The little system, Yue Xiao, also became unreliable.
“Host, I truly have no idea about that.”
“Female beasts having estrus periods is recognized throughout the entire galaxy… and during estrus, you will be quite uncomfortable. But don’t worry too much, I have inhibitors here. I’ll inject you with inhibitors then.”
Lin Muci gave a soft “oh,” but a bad premonition still lingered in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and asked.
“What if—”
“I mean, what if I don’t inject the inhibitor you mentioned…”
The little rabbit also seemed a bit flustered.
“Generally, there won’t be any side effects. You’ll just feel a little uncomfortable for those few days.”
“However… if Host, you really… if you really don’t have inhibitors, the problem won’t be for you, but for others.”
“Because Host, you are a mother with super-fertility potential, so…”
The little rabbit’s eyes were flustered, darting around.
“So, they can sense it… and those powerful individuals will find you at all costs.”
“Well, it’s best to carry inhibitors with you.”
Lin Muci rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache. Given the little system’s personality and its extremely guilty expression, Lin Muci could guess that the little system was probably hiding some crucial information from her, but she couldn’t figure it out at all.
There was no point in forcing it.
She picked up the rabbit in front of her and asked.
“Where am I going now?”
“I can’t just stay here, can I?”
The little rabbit, Yue Xiao, replied to Lin Muci with a very proud tone.
“Of course, we won’t just stay here!”
“Host, it’s vast and boundless out here. I’ll take you for a tour! This place is an entire base, and this base is completely controlled by the main system. It’s a world of technology you’ve never seen!”
“This place’s civilization level is countless times higher than Earth’s. If Earth is still in its first step, this place has already reached the tenth step, and humans have even begun exploring multi-dimensional space. The main system, after absorbing the Zerg technology, is now like a god here!”
“Once humans comprehend the mysteries of space, the universe will be like a sea of stars, and it will be conquered by humans sooner or later!”
Lin Muci listened as the little rabbit proudly introduced the base. She curiously followed it outside. The little rabbit proudly pointed outwards with its paw, as if telling her, see, this is my territory!
The metal door opened.
Lin Muci never expected that what would appear before her would be a completely mechanical kingdom.
Everywhere she looked was metal: buildings with strong technological vibes constructed from metal, flying vehicles, robots. Although there was no aura of living humans, there was a…
Shockingly powerful metallic beauty!
A spark of inspiration flashed in Lin Muci’s mind, and she suddenly felt this scene was very familiar.
“Isn’t this… isn’t this from the movie I filmed?”
“The movie I filmed was very similar to this. But that was special effects, this is real.”
“ that Star Wars series filmed by Wu Minlong—the special effects I saw back then were very similar to this! Only that one was more dilapidated, this is more… new?”
“Everything is pristine, with no traces of human use.”
Yue Xiao then said.
“Because it was indeed just completed, and it hasn’t even been opened to humans yet. So, Host, you naturally find this place very new.”
“But if humans were to come here, it wouldn’t be a good thing either. Where there are many humans, there is only calculation, scheming, deception, and deceit.”
“When the main system built this high-tech city, it was to gather the most outstanding geniuses among humanity, so that humanity’s most brilliant minds could live, learn, and utilize their talents to their fullest in this high-tech city, allowing everyone to progress and develop together.”
“With his guidance, humanity would never be defeated by the Zerg.”
“But he later discovered that his idea was unworkable.”
“Because humans are not machines after all. A Utopia cannot become a reality—human nature is too complex. Even the most precise calculator cannot fathom the twists and turns of the human heart, so he gave up.”
“This city, he did not grant access.”
“So, Master, you are the first human to come here.”
“But strictly speaking, Master, your identity in this world cannot be considered human. You are a female beast.”
“Female beasts are different from humans. Female beasts are beautiful, innocent, and carefree, and they can bear offspring for the strong.”
“So… in the eyes of humans, perhaps, they are more accustomed to treating female beasts as… pets?”
The little rabbit twitched its ears.
“This is also a form of prejudice.”
“Host, do you think living here is good?”
Lin Muci snorted, giving her answer without hesitation.
“Of course, it’s good… Good for what! There’s not a single person here! I still need to go to some places with people. It’s not even as good as Ling Qianhe’s Eighth Prison here!”
She was about to be angered to death by her little system. How could it think she would be willing to stay in a place like this?
The little system shivered and shrunk its neck. It whispered to comfort her.
“Then… if Host doesn’t like it here, I have another backup option.”
“Host, do you… want to see the Galactic Battlefield?”
