Chapter 24 The Couple Seeking a Child
I'm asking you to adjust the difficulty, not for it to appear immediately!

Seeing Liu Miaomiao faint, Zhang Qiongyang trembled with fear, but still mustered up the courage to hold Liu Miaomiao in his arms.

"Why are the pretty ladies so scared? I guess I'll just stay hidden then."

When Zhang Qiongyang looked up, the little boy with the cow horns had disappeared again.

Zhang Qiongyang suddenly laughed. How could she be so timid, getting scared by an NPC like that...

"Lily! Xiaobai! Come quick, Miaomiao has fainted."

Upon hearing Zhang Qiongyang's voice, Zhou Lili and Wang Xiaobai immediately ran out of the side room. They didn't even have time to look for any more toys. When they heard Zhang Qiongyang say that the child staff member had frightened Miao Miao into fainting, the two of them were both amused and exasperated.

But their best friend's health was more important, so they carried two people on their backs and supported Liu Miaomiao as they prepared to leave the instance.

It's a pity that such a simple dungeon resulted in not only the quest not being completed, but my best friend also fainted.

When Song Zhizhi heard the shout that Liu Miaomiao had fainted, she was very anxious, but she was relieved when the system said that everything was alright.

After the four of them came out, Song Zhizhi led them toward her little house.

They hadn't even gone ten meters when Liu Miaomiao, who was on Zhang Qiongyang's back, woke up.

"Was that little bull-headed kid a staff member?"

"Liu, that kid is indeed a staff member in the instance. He's playing the role of the Minotaur."

Hearing the streamer's explanation, Liu Miaomiao looked at everyone somewhat embarrassed, "I don't know why, it just looked so scary that I fainted. I'm sorry, Lily, I made everyone fail to complete the Minotaur's Mystery mission."

Liu Miaomiao felt somewhat guilty.

But Zhou Lili and the other two naturally felt that Liu Miaomiao was more important. The four of them said they would bring the boys next time to play, otherwise their hearts really couldn't take it.

There weren't many scary NPCs, so why did it feel so frightening?

It's as if there really are ghosts.

Song Zhizhi was a little embarrassed and said she would give the four of them a discount next time!

The four of them sat in the sun for a while and felt much more comfortable. Then they saw that new people had arrived at the amusement park.

It was that couple who had never had children.

Song Zhizhi told them that if they wanted to go in, the couple would have to stay inside all night and could only come out at dawn.

Zhou Lili and her three companions had hoped to see how the livestreamer helped couples who couldn't conceive. However, upon hearing this, they were quite disappointed. The amusement park was in the middle of nowhere, with no place to stay. They couldn't possibly sit there all night, so they had no choice but to leave.

Upon hearing Song Zhizhi's words, the couple immediately agreed.

After paying, the two took a few bottles of water and some bread and entered the instance.

The woman's name is Huang Jialin, and the man's name is Zhou Bao.

The two stood outside the gates of the Minotaur's Maze, looking at the instance, and suddenly sighed, "This place seems a bit old." But they had more important things to do, so they pushed open the door and entered the instance.

What appeared in front of the two of them was also a piece of paper.

"A calf from Niutou Mountain has gone missing. Can you help the calf's family find it?"

When I looked up, a gust of wind suddenly swept in front of me.

When the wind died down, the couple found themselves in an unfamiliar place. What they had seen upon entering was a small courtyard and a few rooms, but now they were standing on a small ox-head hill. The reason they thought it was ox-head hill was a subconscious reaction after seeing the paper.

The two held hands, and Huang Jialin asked slightly uneasyly, "Honey, isn't this place a little too strange?"

"We haven't had children for so many years, and the streamer said that coming here might give us children. Isn't that strange? But isn't this exactly what we want?"

Only when they cannot explain it can they have children of their own.

Huang Jialin nodded as she listened to her husband's words.

Yes, they have suffered so much over the years, and they are willing to give anything for the chance to have a child.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

A child's voice suddenly appeared beside the two. They turned around and saw a child who was about 1.3 meters tall standing behind them. He had two small cow horns on his head, and his face was covered in dust, but he was very cute. His big eyes blinked and he seemed to be really hungry.

The couple, who wanted a child, couldn't resist such a child. They immediately took out their bottled water and bread. Unexpectedly, after the child finished one piece of bread, he said he was still hungry and wanted more.

Finally, after finishing all the bread and water the couple had given him, he said with satisfaction, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. Good people will be rewarded." Before the couple could ask him anything, he had already run off.

The couple looked at each other, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Now we're both going to go hungry."

Zhou Bao held his wife Huang Jialin's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, honey. Let's find this calf now."

They searched the entire mountain but didn't see any cattle.

The couple were panting heavily from exhaustion.

We sat down to rest on the mountainside.

The wife was thirsty, but they had no water to drink. Remembering the child who had taken their water, she suddenly asked, "Honey, do you think the child we saw earlier might be Xiao Niu?"

Zhou Bao, who was about to argue, suddenly remembered the two little cow horns the child was wearing and realized, "The calf we couldn't find was actually right in front of us from the beginning. Honey, I remember the child left in this direction. Let's rest and go look for it together."

Zhou Bao originally wanted to go find it himself while his wife rested there, but seeing this strange and magical place, he knew his wife would be scared to go alone, so he couldn't leave her.

The two followed the path down the mountain and discovered a small village not far away.

Suddenly, three small children stumbled and ran toward them, crying as they ran, sobbing and muttering things like, "Mommy doesn't want me anymore," "Daddy doesn't want me anymore," "Grandma doesn't want me anymore," and so on.

The couple felt so sorry for the children that they didn't have time to think about anything else. They immediately picked up the two children and began to comfort them, saying, "Don't be afraid, little ones. Your uncle and aunt will take good care of you and take you home."

"We don't want to go home," the three children said in unison.

“Then…” The couple exchanged a glance, “Then your uncle and aunt can take care of you.”

The two men led the three children by the hand towards the village, and the three children skipped and hopped, seemingly very happy.

"Uncle and Aunt, you can't take them back, and you can't take them away."

The calf they had met once before, which had even eaten all their stored food, suddenly reappeared in front of the couple. However, at this moment, the couple's minds were only on these children, and they had forgotten about their mission.

"You're a calf, right? Why can't you take them home?"

"Because they will die."
