Many children, many blessings: Surviving in a public restroom with a newlywed bridesmaid group

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the system's deafening mechanical voice, the entire 15-square-meter studio apartment began an extremely violent physical tearing apart.

The moisture-proof wooden floor underfoot seemed to be infused with life, extending wildly in all directions.

The wall, which was just within reach, receded rapidly with a series of teeth-grinding "click-clack" sounds.

"Holy crap! Hold on tight! Don't fall!"

Lin Ze pulled the still-dazed Chu Xiaoya into his arms. The group of people felt like they were experiencing an earthquake of magnitude 8, and could only hold on tightly to the double mattress.

Above, the ceiling appears to grow higher as the space expands.

What's most astonishing is that as the space unfolds, various pieces of furniture appear out of thin air, like newly refreshed textures, forcefully crashing into reality.

A large set of genuine leather sofas landed with a "thud" in the center of the expanded living room.

A large, double-door refrigerator, though not powered on, looked extremely high-tech and appeared in the corner.

The bathroom that used to have completely transparent glass has now been moved back more than ten meters and its area has been expanded three times!

There was even a gurgling sound of water bubbling inside. Looking through the glass, it turned out to be a small indoor hot spring bath with steam rising from it!

On the left and right sides of the living room, two thick solid wood doors rise from the ground.

In less than half a minute, this miraculous performance by the "infrastructure maniac" came to an end.

The earthquake has stopped.

The five people sat staring at each other on the somewhat out-of-place mattress in the center of the living room, looking around at the spacious, bright, and even carpeted two-bedroom apartment.

"drop!"

The final settlement information popped up on the system panel in mid-air.

[Territory upgrade complete! Current area: 80 square meters.]

[Unlocked areas: Master bedroom, second bedroom, luxury living room, hot spring bath center.]

[Special Notice: Pregnant woman 'Su Wan' has been detected. For the healthy development of the fetus, the system has automatically designated the 'Quiet Second Bedroom' as a dedicated rest area for the pregnant woman.]

[WARNING: Before the fetus reaches one month of age (according to the wasteland time calculation method), any intense physical contact or interaction with the pregnant woman is strictly prohibited! Violators will be punished by system lightning strikes!]

Looking at the last warning highlighted in red, Lin Ze's lips twitched violently.

This system is really overbearing! They're even forcibly shutting down nighttime activities!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Su Wan is the only "giant panda" in the team right now. Even if the system doesn't warn him, Lin Ze wouldn't mess with her at this time.

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the prompts on the panel.

She now has absolute protection and doesn't have to suffer from morning sickness. Touching her flat stomach, her face is full of maternal tenderness.

"Alright, since the system has spoken, I'll stay in the second bedroom from now on."

Su Wan stood up, straightened her cheongsam, and looked at Chu Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, will you sleep in the spare bedroom with me tonight? There's a 1.5-meter bed there, which is just right for the two of us."

"Okay, okay!"

Chu Xiaoya nodded vigorously, like a pestle being pounded.

"I can just soak up some of Wan-jie's pregnancy luck, no, I mean, her good fortune! Plus, my 'perpetual motion machine' aura can help you recover your strength."

The two women chatted and laughed as they walked toward the door to the second bedroom on the left.

In an instant, only Lin Ze, Xia An'an, and Shen Qingqiu remained in the living room.

Lin Ze stretched out a big yawn, his bones cracking and popping.

"Finally, I don't have to squeeze five people onto one mattress anymore. The master bedroom is mine now. I just checked that 1.8-meter bed; it's upholstered in genuine leather."

Lin Ze pointed to the door on the right, then looked at Xia An'an and Shen Qingqiu with a mischievous grin.

"As for the two of you, the leather sofa in the living room is big and soft, and the rug is already laid out. You can decide who sleeps on the sofa and who sleeps on the rug by playing rock-paper-scissors."

After saying that, Lin Ze ignored the two women's murderous glares, whistled, and pushed open the door to the master bedroom, walking in.

"Bang."

The door to the master bedroom was closed.

The atmosphere in the large living room instantly became incredibly eerie.

Xia An'an stared intently at the closed solid wood door of the master bedroom, her hands clenched into fists.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Qingqiu standing next to her.

Shen Qingqiu was still wearing that white shirt with the buttons ripped open and that tight-fitting pencil skirt, and the Balenciaga black stockings on her legs gleamed faintly under the living room lights.

She usually hated being alone with Xia An'an, but at this moment, she didn't leave.

Two women who couldn't stand each other stared at each other.

"Director Shen."

Xia An'an broke the silence first, her tone devoid of its usual squeamishness, instead revealing a ruthless clarity, "You saw the shield on Su Wan, didn't you?"

"I saw it."

Shen Qingqiu answered coldly.

"This damn world, they're using poison gas today, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause tomorrow. Relying solely on Lin Ze to protect us won't be enough until the day we can't keep up. Only by obtaining that 'pregnancy buff' can we truly be safe."

Xia An'an licked her lips, making no attempt to hide the ambition in her eyes.

Xia An'an licked her lips, making no attempt to hide the ambition in her eyes.

"The system just notified me that I can't touch Su Wan for at least a month. That means Lin Ze will be in a 'free period' for the next month."

Shen Qingqiu's breathing faltered slightly. She understood Xia An'an's meaning, of course.

"What are you trying to say?"

Shen Qingqiu crossed her arms, subconsciously trying to maintain that pitiful bit of pride.

"Don't play dumb, Attorney Shen. Although we don't get along, we have the same goal now."

Xia An'an took a step closer, lowered her voice, and spoke like a devil bewitching people.

"With Chu Xiaoya's 'perpetual motion machine' aura, Lin Ze has inexhaustible stamina."

"If we go it alone, neither of us can easily extract a god-level blessing. And as you've seen, Lin Ze is even less resistant to the 'obedient and docile' type."

Xia An paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said...

"In that case, why don't we form an alliance for the time being?"

"An alliance? With you?"

Shen Qingqiu laughed coldly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Yes, with me. Tonight, we'll go in together."

Xia An'an pointed to the master bedroom door, her eyes filled with madness.

"Use any means necessary, whether he likes it or not, just make it a fait accompli! We must get her pregnant before dawn tomorrow! Whoever wins, it's up to their skills!"

Shen Qingqiu was stunned.

Shall we go in together?

This means that she and Xia An'an, that green tea bitch, are both supposed to lie in Lin Ze's bed and... serve one man together?!

They even have to fight over those few "seeds"?!

"You're insane! I would never do such a filthy thing! Have you no shame?!"

Shen Qingqiu was so ashamed and indignant that her neck turned red, and she turned to leave.

"A face? Can a face block poison gas? Can a face stop those mutated monsters outside?!"
