She looked at the bed full of babies with a troubled expression. What should she do with them?

Just as Xixi was feeling troubled, the voice of fulfilling dreams rang out in time:

[Please participate in the Holy Female Selection as soon as possible. This trip will involve encountering exceptionally high-quality males, and more than one! Each one is incredibly handsome! Each one is incredibly gentle! Each one is incredibly powerful! And the offspring born from them will all be adorable babies with big eyes and long, fluffy eyelashes!]

"Yuanmeng, are you possessed by some evil spirit?" Why does it sound like a department store megaphone?

Yuanmeng ignored Xixi's complaints and continued to unleash her ultimate move: [To show our sincerity, if the host participates in the Holy Female Selection, regardless of whether she wins or not, all the debts the host owes will be interest-free!]

"You...wait! Say it again! Waive what? Interest-free? So you're charging me interest on the debt I incurred before?"

Yuanmeng muttered weakly, "Isn't calculating interest a standard procedure?"

"It's standard procedure, you should at least let me know! How much interest are you getting?" Xixi roared. If she hadn't been exposed this time, she probably would have worked illegal jobs her whole life and still not be able to pay it off!

No, not just in this lifetime, but in the next life, and the life after that, I still won't be able to repay it!

Profiteering businessman! Profiteering businessman!

I told you not to overspend, online loans are a killer!

[Please calm down, host!] Yuanmeng's voice returned to its cold, mechanical tone. [If the host participates in the Holy Female Selection, all outstanding debts will be interest-free!]

Yuan Meng reiterated, and this time, Xi Xi didn't argue. She took a deep breath before saying, "I want to go too, but what will happen to this baby if I go?"

The system rewards cover all aspects of the cub's life, travel, and training, and naturally, a motorhome is included!

"So, can you give me credit?" Xixi's eyes lit up. A motorhome? Could it be the kind that runs on gasoline in modern society? This is way too luxurious. Wouldn't it look too out of place in the beast world?

Unfortunately, before Xixi could finish her reflection, a cold, mechanical voice announced: [Excessive debt detected. The advance consumption function is now disabled. Please find a solution yourself!]

Xixi: "..." I have a piece of traditional Chinese culture that I'm not sure if I should say!

Why did you say you couldn't buy on credit? You told me you had a motorhome first, and then you told me you couldn't give it to me. Are you just kidding me?

Also, why do you have two faces?

One minute it's a cold, mechanical voice, the next it's like it's being played!

But regardless, because of this incident, Xixi finally made up her mind, "Go!"

Having received a clear answer from Xixi, Sikong Hongyu nodded. "In that case, we need to start preparing for our trip!"

"Fat Orange, use these fresh meat and furs to exchange for some easy-to-store jerky and tanned clothes and bedding, including for the cubs. Prepare plenty, as the journey north will only get colder and colder, and the cubs are delicate and need extra protection!"

"Yunxi, home furnishings are secondary. The most urgent task is to make a mobile tent that can carry all the cubs so that the wife can breastfeed them at any time!"

"I'll go ahead and scout the way, eliminating any potential threats along the way. The fresh meat and fur I gather will serve as winter supplies for the lynx tribe!"

Originally, Sikong Hongyu was worried that the cubs would starve to death, but after last night, he felt that, just as his wife had said, feeding these cubs was no problem at all!

Xixi was astonished. It turned out that someone had already considered the problem that was troubling her, and in such a comprehensive way!

However, with this arrangement, everyone became busy, except for her, who was the only one with nothing to do.

When Nuannuan arrived with three young females, she found a certain female lying listlessly on a swing, basking in the sun.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Nuannuan's heart skipped a beat. Without even saying hello to Xixi on the swing, she rushed straight into the inner room.

I expected to see a scene of devastation, with many cubs dying of hunger, but instead I found the cubs wrapped up neatly, each one clean and well-fed, fast asleep!

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, muttering to herself, "How...how is this possible?"

"Nuan Nuan, didn't you say that the young chieftain's son was on the verge of death, and that he knelt down and begged us to come for the sake of the tribe? But to me, it seems a bit unnecessary."

"Yes, these cubs look very well cared for. They don't look like they're on the verge of death at all. And look, their little fur is growing neatly and evenly, and their breathing is even and long. They're all very healthy!"

"Wow! Look, this kitten is so big, and... he's actually opened his eyes! Nuannuan, didn't you say they were born just yesterday evening? How come they've already opened their eyes after only one night? Wow! This batch of kittens has extraordinary potential!"

"Hey! Wait a minute, maybe it's survival of the fittest, and the weak ones have already been eliminated? Nuannuan, quickly count them, are they missing or not?"

To avoid any negative impact, when Nuannuan asked them to come, she only said that Xixi had given birth to too many babies in this litter and that the cubs were in imminent danger, but she did not tell anyone the exact number of babies born in this litter.

So, looking at the bed full of cubs, they had no idea where to start.

It just feels like a lot, a lot indeed, but whether it's actually less or not, nobody knows.

Even if they didn't know, they felt that it was a great miracle that so many cubs had survived the most dangerous night!

So, everyone, including Nuannuan, started counting the cubs one by one after checking their condition.

"One, two, three... ten... twenty... twenty-seven, twenty-eight... Good heavens, there are twenty-eight cubs! This is a record!"

"That's already a record. The highest record in our lynx tribe is from several hundred years ago, when a female gave birth to twelve in one litter. Unfortunately, none of them survived..."

"Nuan Nuan, please tell us quickly, how many babies did the young chieftain have in this pregnancy? How many died from last night until now? What is the mortality rate?"

Don't underestimate the mortality rate of first-time offspring. It is the most direct indicator of the overall quality of the offspring in a litter and an important reference for predicting the final number of survivors.

"No..." Nuannuan counted again, and when she heard everyone saying twenty-eight, she was sure she hadn't miscounted. Her face was full of disbelief. "How is this possible? They all survived!"

“Our tribe’s medical records state that a female should not have more than five pregnancies in one pregnancy. If she has more than five pregnancies, she must rest in bed during the late stages of pregnancy, otherwise the baby is very likely to be born prematurely or die! I originally planned to take care of her at all times and tell Xixi later on, but I never expected some unexpected things to happen…”

"Under these circumstances, I thought that no more than half of them would survive their first time, which is why I only found three. I never expected that they would all survive!"
