Godslayer: A random filename extension?

As expected, among the five ordinary rewards that followed, Lin Linhou received two low-value garbage bags and three "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills".

It seems that the prize pool for ordinary rewards is also controlled by big data. Lin Linhou can only say that the more of these two things, the better.

Next up are the nine rewards on the second page.

Another golden reward comes into view, but this reward... seems to have come "a little late".

Golden Reward: Phoenix Egg

[Phoenix Egg: Female, a phoenix egg possessing the bloodline of the ancestral phoenix. With careful nurturing, it can develop the bearing of an emperor.]

The introduction was incredibly concise, so the meaning was quite clear.

[Oh ho, Lin Hou, the beast girl egg you used to pray to gods and Buddhas for.]

Lin Linhou: …… ('?') ……

Damn it, you didn't give me this thing when we started more than two years ago, but now you're giving it to me?

What a magnificent phoenix egg, embodying the grandeur of an emperor!

Lin Linhou shook his head; unfortunately, he no longer needed the reward.

[Isn't that good? As the saying goes, "Three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines," our household still needs many more people.]

"I'm not the emperor."

[You can be.]

"I don't think so. I want a healthy kidney."

With a fifth star in the family and a confidante, I almost lost before. Am I crazy to think about adding more people? I'll die from exhaustion.

(￣⊿￣)

Lin Linhou continued to scroll through the rewards page, and what he saw was gold again.

Golden Reward: [Kirin Egg]

[Qilin Egg: Female, a Qilin egg possessing the bloodline of the ancestral Qilin. With careful nurturing, it can develop the qualities of a great emperor.]

Lin Linhou: ...

(′- へ -、) Is this never going to end?

again?

[What a magnificent Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, and Ancestral Qilin! Lin Hou, our family can now reignite the Great Tribulation of the Three Clans.]

[This is much more exciting than the palace drama "Empresses in the Palace"; if they were to fight, it would be a true battleground of carnage.]

Lin Linhou: ?_? What are you talking about?

However, on the other hand, I was already struggling to afford to keep one red-faced beast at home, and now I have two more divine beasts with the appearance of emperors.

Food expenses are a big problem.

Based on past experience, they not only have an enormous appetite, but also need to consume many rare and precious herbs with high spiritual energy concentrations.

Wait, that's not right either. I now have a garden of medicinal herbs.

This problem might actually be relatively easy to solve.

The exchange station offers a near-unlimited supply of meat, while the herb garden provides ample rare and precious medicinal herbs.

With a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, they might not be that difficult to raise.

Lin Linhou nodded and continued turning the page; it was another purple reward.

[Hatching Nest]

[Hatching Nest: 100% healthy hatching of various egg-like embryos placed within. Spiritual materials can be added to accelerate this process, or certain rare and precious herbs can be used to enhance the embryo's potential.]

Hmm, Lin Linhou roughly understood; so this was a complementary reward.

Lin Linhou was just considering how to hatch these two mythical beast eggs.

After all, you probably can't find the correct way to hatch mythical beast eggs online.

Should we put it in a 38-degree constant temperature chamber?

He had originally planned to give those two eggs to Hongyan and let her figure out how to handle them.

But now, the problem is perfectly solved, which is great.

[Then I will place these two divine beast eggs in the incubation room to begin incubation.]

"Oh, right, just use any rare and precious materials that need to be enhanced, preferably those that are already mature when they hatch."

[You just don't want to take care of the kids, right...]

After all, as long as the aptitude process is pushed to the top, many mythical beasts, once hatched, can be the type that can run, jump, fly, and fight.

It's also possible that the baby is born in human form.

This is the advantage of oviparity; as long as there is sufficient pre-stored nutrition, the offspring may even be more capable than the mother from birth.

Therefore, mythical beasts generally choose to lay eggs, which is not only quick and efficient, but also allows them to rest easy afterward by simply providing enough spiritual materials.

Furthermore, the incubation time of mythical beast eggs can be controlled through various means.

For example, in some secret realms, the divine beast eggs are hatched only when both parents have died for tens of thousands of years, and the eggs have sufficient self-protection capabilities from the moment they hatch.

If the chosen method is viviparous birth, the mother beast may need to be weak for a very long time during pregnancy, prioritizing the supply of power, spiritual energy, bloodline, and everything else to the fetus.

This process does not include intense battles, venturing into dangerous places, advancements, cultivation, or anything else that might affect the fetus's development.

This process could take at least three years, and indefinitely at most.

After all, who wouldn't want to raise their offspring to be the strongest before they are born?

For the offspring of divine beasts, the most important stage for improving their aptitude is the embryonic stage.

There was once a divine beast that chose to raise its offspring through viviparous birth. As a result, the mother of that divine beast, who was over two thousand years old, managed to carry the fetus in her womb for over thirty thousand years. She did not choose to give birth to the child until she was about to face the tribulation of immortal ascension.

Instead, she continued to channel her cultivation, aptitude, and everything else into her womb until she died of old age, at which point the child was born.

But her child was indeed very strong. His cultivation level was high enough to attract the Ascension Tribulation at birth, and he passed it very easily.

But this kind of reproduction comes at a cost similar to the passing down of a torch.

This clearly doesn't meet the common reproductive needs. What if the mother unexpectedly dies? Wouldn't that result in the death of both mother and child?

Moreover, one-on-one transmission cannot expand the clan.

So gradually, oviparity became the preferred method for mythical beasts to raise their offspring.

Even so, the aptitude of the younger generation will be more random, but randomness has its advantages, as it expands both the upper and lower limits.

As for safety, opinions vary, since there are quite a few people who engage in egg theft.

However, as mentioned earlier, if the mother is about to encounter a major crisis, she can place the eggs in a top-secret and safe place in advance.

Even if you are not naturally gifted, you still have many opportunities to make up for it later in life.

Unlike someone like Hongyan, who was born with disadvantages but had a lot of good fortune later in life...

Lin Linhou continued scrolling through the rewards page.

"So it really is locked down by big data, isn't it?"

The next six rewards were all "perfect tonic pills".

Now I have ten of these in my possession.

"I'll find the Primordial Celestial Venerable again when I have the chance, and give him a few more to help restore the top combat power of the Great Xia."

However, Lin Linhou had only just finished speaking.

dong dong dong~

A knock came from the door, but not from the bedroom door; it came from the panoramic balcony.

Lin Linhou: ?_??

After he got up and dressed, he went forward and drew back the curtains.

Then I saw a familiar old Taoist priest.

Lin Linhou: ...

-_-|| Ugh...

Heavenly Venerable, are you a descendant of Cao Cao?

“Senior Celestial Venerable, you may use the main entrance next time.”

The Primordial Celestial Venerable stroked his beard, seemingly unaware of any embarrassment.

When Lin Linhou murmured his name, he sensed something and, with a little deduction, understood the cause and effect.

After learning the cause and effect, he instantly teleported to Lin Linhou's bedroom balcony.

Going through the main gate would be such a waste of time; time is money.

"I will certainly be more careful next time. But I wonder, Your Majesty, how many pills are you willing to bestow upon the Heavenly Court this time? And what do you wish to exchange them for?"

Lin Linhou: (′???`) You really are quite efficient.
