Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

In the face of Shen Yao's request, Cheng Qi's opposition had no effect.

If she said she would absorb the child, she would absorb it. Shen Yao was worried that something might happen to Cheng Qi and she would have to raise the child alone. By then, the child and the mother would be orphans, and they would probably suffer a lot.

Cheng period:......

"It's not that serious." Not to mention the Dawn Base, even at Base 25 there were many people with genetic collapse, and Cheng Qi's body was not that bad.

However, Cheng Qi still benefited from Shen Yao's concern. After all, no one is an island. Living in such a difficult and cruel world, the sincere concern from family members can largely resist the "wind, frost, snow and rain" of the outside world.

In just one night, Cheng Qi absorbed all the energy stone with the lowest energy value in his hand.

After absorbing the energy stone, Cheng Qi has become significantly more focused mentally, including during daily exercise and hard work. In the past, he would feel tired and need a rest, but now he can work from start to finish without having to breathe heavily.

Shen Yao's eyes widened, "Is this the effect of absorbing the energy stone?"

It was too good to be true. She had seen Cheng Qi's appearance when he took the gene stabilizer, and it was not as shocking as what she saw now.

Cheng Qi pinched the protruding muscles on his arms, saying that it was indeed the case from the outside, and in fact his physical potential had also been improved to varying degrees.

"Energy stones are useful for gene awakeners. They are not only used to stabilize genes, but also to stimulate the body's potential and break through theoretical limits."

Cheng Qi learned from the Qian family mercenary team that the most powerful force in the entire base is the official patrol team, and several of the famous team leaders are capable of defeating thousands of troops alone.

At the same time, the base also launched gene enhancers that increase the upper limit of body potential, and the raw materials in them must contain a high content of energy stones.

"If the official inspection team is recruiting, should we go and give it a try?" Private work is never as reliable as official work. Shen Yao touched his chin with one hand.

"No, although the official welfare benefits are good, there are considerable restrictions on individuals." If Cheng Qi was placed in some bases with less strict constraints, he would just go. At worst, he could just escape and no one could do anything about it (such as the Shuguang Base).

But it is not the same at Base No. 25. The order here is well maintained. Once Cheng Qi goes in, it will be difficult for him to get out. If something unexpected happens in the future, he will not be able to be with Shen Yao and her daughter, which would be dangerous.

Shen Yao also thought of this possibility. Anything could happen in the mutant world. Maybe they could be happy today, but die in the mouth of a mutant beast tomorrow. Their family of three came here from far away just to live a better life. There was no need for them to jump into the cage.

"Forget it then. The Qian family mercenary team is good, and Mrs. Qian is easy to get along with." As long as the two sides do not have direct conflicts that cannot be resolved, staying in the Qian family mercenary team is not a bad thing.

It’s a pity that without an official background to rely on, they have to save up a large amount of base contribution points if they want to buy gene enhancers.

"We have energy stones in our hands. Besides, the base sells more than just these kinds of potions. There are many other things that are good for the body." The base has even launched potions that are beneficial to the healthy growth of children. As long as they live in the inner area, they will be able to purchase these potions.

After listening to this, Shen Yao became more motivated to fight. The energy stone must be their last trump card, and they must not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"So we can't go through the rabbit hole for the time being. I have a day off tomorrow, so let's go to the river." While catching fish, you can also dig some lotus roots to relieve the greasiness. Cheng Qi turned on his watch and sent Shen Yao some pictures he had taken, all of which were good collecting points.

…………

The sugarcane forest came to a temporary end, and Cheng Qi and his two friends moved to the small pond next to the base.

As the cold season approaches, only a few withered lotus leaves remain in the pond, and few people dare to dig lotus roots.

Cheng Qi believed that he was physically strong, especially since he had just absorbed the energy stone. He simply put on his rain boots and went into the water. In just a few strokes, he dug out a lotus root as long as his arm.

Snapped--

It was thrown on the shore. Shen Yao picked it up for inspection and opened the door in great joy. It was a moderately mutated plant.

After shaking off the water droplets on the lotus root, Shen Yao turned around and threw it into the backpack. She took out the fishing net she had brought with her, spread it out and threw it into the pond.

Manman was wearing thick clothes and standing beside Shen Yao, clapping her hands and muttering "fish, fish, fish".

There really were fish, and they were quite big. They had the strength to roll and struggle when they were caught in the fishing net.

"Manman, come here"

Shen Yao waved to her daughter, and then threw two palm-sized fish fry to her and placed them in front of Manman for her to play with.

Manman showed a cute smile, hugged Shen Yao's face and kissed her again and again, and finally started poking the fish fry with a small wooden stick.

By the time Shen Yao had put away the other edibles in the fishing net, Manman had already poked two small fish off the line. The fish's bodies were covered with pits and holes, but the little fish themselves were not afraid at all.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao repeated the same old things and warned him not to act recklessly, but he was still so young and had so little strength, what would happen in the future?

"Mommy mommy"

Manman stuck to Shen Yao and acted coquettishly, which completely softened Shen Yao's heart. However, her bad habits were also under control. The next few times she cast the net, she did not poke the fish fry with the small wooden stick.

Soon, Shen Yao used the fishing net she brought with her to catch about a sack of river fish, some big and some small, the largest of which was no longer than an arm.

No wonder no one comes here recently. The shipment rate is low and it’s a waste of time.

After hauling the last net of fish ashore, Shen Yao wiped the water off her hands, turned around and ran back to the car to get a change of clothes.

The weather is getting colder, and I have to rely on my body to bear it. It will cost more to go to the hospital.

Take out the food that was prepared earlier and set out a small dining table on the open space next to the car.

Shen Yao beckoned Manman over and asked him to prepare the food for the child first. Then she stood up and called Cheng Qi from the water to come back quickly, otherwise the food would get cold and not taste good.

Cheng Qi silently packed the lotus roots from the pond into a sack and dragged it a few meters away from them.

"There are clean clothes in the car, change quickly." Even if you have a strong physique, you can't help but be careful. Shen Yao scooped a spoonful of rice and put it into her mouth. Today she specially made egg and meat sauce. Just spread a little bit of it and the fragrance spread several meters away.

Cheng Qi shook his wet head, his face still a little red when he came over, "I just dug out a river clam, let's open it and take a look."

River clams?

Shen Yao swallowed the rice in her mouth and looked up at the huge, long, fan-shaped clam shell that was gray-brown in color next to the sack.

Wow, Shen Yao estimated that it was at least the size of a washbasin.

"Dug out from the pond?" Then this river clam is quite capable of hiding.

"I accidentally stepped on it and got bitten. Luckily I absorbed the energy stone beforehand," Cheng Qi slowly moved his ankle which was still a little painful. His one-piece rain boots were bitten. If it were an ordinary person, his leg would probably be broken.

Hearing that it was so serious, Shen Yao stopped eating, put down her bowl and chopsticks to check the wound on Cheng Qi's ankle.

"It's okay, there's no crack. Luckily I stepped on it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch it."

Cheng Qi defended himself, but due to Shen Yao's ugly expression, he wisely didn't say anything else.

Manman pointed at a gray-brown clam shell not far away and muttered loudly, "Bad, bad, bad." The little girl had a chubby face and was so cute.

Cheng Qi didn't get a good response from his wife, so he turned to seek care from his daughter.

Although Manman still doesn't understand the meaning of many words, she is smart and eager to learn. She usually learns what the adults say. Now she uses all the words on her father, praising him so much that he is completely stunned.

Shen Yao curled her lips and shook her head, then picked up her bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat. The delicious egg and meat sauce was mixed on the soft rice, and she enjoyed it with every bite.

After filling his stomach and washing the dishes, Cheng Qi moved the dead clams to the front of the car.

In order to block out any strange sights that might appear around him, Shen Yao took a piece of protective cloth and covered the front and back of the car body, directly creating a small hidden space.

"Let's do it here, quickly and decisively," Shen Yao handed the machete to Cheng Qi, and quickly took two steps back while holding Manman, to prevent the clams from spraying juice out when they opened. The mutated clams could cause incredible damage, and Shen Yao didn't want to experience it again.

Her hand unconsciously touched the pink pearl hanging around her neck. This was the treasure that the Shen family found in the small pond when they were at the Dawn Base.

Later, when Shen Yao got married, Song Ling and Shen Jiancheng gave her some as gifts.

Shen Yao has sold several of them over the past few years, and now all the remaining ones are kept as souvenirs.

If the clam in front of them could produce pearls, maybe they could move into the inner area without spending the energy stones they had.

The possibility that Shen Yao thought of was also the result that Cheng Qi hoped for in his heart.

After all, the probability of mutated clams producing pearls is very high, and some pearls even contain energy, making them a favorite tonic for some middle and senior management.

He gripped the machete tightly and smashed it on the clam shell with a bang, leaving a white mark.

Cheng Qi rubbed his numb wrist. He didn't expect the clam shell to be so hard. It seemed that there was a lot of stuff inside.

He motioned Shen Yao and Man Man to stay away, "This clam has lived for at least several years. If it really attacks, I can't protect you from here."

The mutated creatures generally have thick skin and flesh and are durable. It took a lot of effort to process the crabs before the process began. The shells of the mutated clams are harder than those of crabs.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the space with Manman.

Holding the fishing net, Shen Yao continued to run to the pond to catch fish. She did not forget to remind Cheng Qi through her watch to be careful not to damage the car next to her.

Cheng period:......

Cheng Qi was a little amused, but he also understood his wife's concerns. As a means of transportation, a car is more important than people. Their family can live such a leisurely life only because of his part-time job as a driver.

He took out a thicker layer of cloth from the space and completely covered the clam with it. He replaced the machete in his hand with a sharper axe. Cheng Qi tensed his muscles and chopped the clam hard with the back of the axe.

bang——

Shen Yao pulled up Manman, who had fallen down in fright, and pointed at the fishing net thrown into the pond, and vividly described the harvest they were about to get.

"Wow"

Manman clapped his hands and exclaimed, also throwing away the grievance he had just felt when he fell.

Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then she pulled weeds and dug wild vegetables, finally getting her daughter's attention from behind her to the front.

Shen Yao threw the fishing net into the water and waited for a while before pulling it out. He repeated the same action twice and finally harvested five carps of different sizes.

On her watch, Cheng Qi had sent a message asking her to take her daughter back.

Is this the clam being cracked open?

Cheng Qi did more than just knock it open. He smashed the clams into pieces and scattered them, throwing them away along with the cloth.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao watched Cheng Qi change into dry clothes again. Just as she was about to scold him, she saw Cheng Qi smilingly holding out a handful of round pearls of different colors.

Bright white, pink, deep purple, inky black...it can be said to be truly colorful.

"so much?"

Shen Yao lowered her voice unconsciously, but did not forget to look back.

Manman bit her fingers and looked at the pearls in her father's hand with curiosity. She was even eager to pick one up and put it in her mouth to taste it, but Cheng Qi stopped her quickly, saying that she couldn't eat anything.

"There is still more than half a box of space left, but it's not as good as what I have in front of me," Cheng Qi sighed that he was really lucky to be bitten. He didn't expect that the river clam could produce dozens or even hundreds of pearls of different sizes. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the king of pearls.

"This one, this one, and this one," Cheng Qi personally picked out a few large and round pearls and stuffed them into Shen Yao's hands. "I feel there is energy fluctuation. I can verify it with the machine when I go back."

Shen Yao's expression became more and more excited, "Really?"

Pearls with energy are more valuable than energy stones because these pearls can be used on ordinary people to improve their physical fitness and health without any adverse side effects.

Cheng Qi suppressed the smile on his lips, pursed his lips and nodded, "If you have the energy, you and Manman can carry them with you on weekdays." Even if he is not with them, they don't have to worry like before.

Because this kind of energetic pearls can not only improve a person's physical condition over time, but also heal wounds quickly, they can be regarded as indispensable life-saving medicines.

It is very difficult to come across this kind of pearl. The fact that Cheng Qi has such luck today can be attributed to the fact that the Heavenly Dao has opened a back door for him.

'The Heavenly Consciousness here won't do that. It will just watch from the sidelines!'

The system was totally unacceptable to this description, and started to make a fuss with Shen Yao in a frenzy.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao unilaterally blocked the system's childish behavior and got in the car to return to the base.

A box of pearls was tested on the machine one by one. Among them, ten pearls contained energy. Except for the few that Cheng Qi picked out specifically, the others were placed in the pile of relatively crooked pearls in the box.

"That's perfect. I won't feel bad about selling them," Shen Yao picked and chose, and handed Cheng Qi four that were really ugly and not useful. She kept the rest, waiting to make them into necklaces or bracelets to wear on her body in the future.

Cheng Qi obediently packed the four energetic pearls, and there was still half a box of ordinary pearls that were not very good. Since he wanted to sell them, he might as well sell them all together. Ordinary pearls also have many uses, such as pearl powder and pearl jewelry, which are very popular among the female senior managers in the base.

The days passed one by one, and with a frost that came quietly in the early morning, the long-talked-about cold season revealed its true colors.

The base, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became quiet. In contrast, every household closed their doors and turned on the air conditioner, relying on various heating methods to resist the spreading cold.
