Many descendants

Suddenly, the people on the map teleported away again.

"What do you mean?" Su Yan looked at the map and searched around but couldn't find anyone.

“The killing intent emanating from Yin Zang, a peak-level spirit, drifted outside the house. It’s no wonder they ran away.” Yu Yan patted Yin Zang. “If you want to stretch your muscles, you have to lure them in first.”

Yin Zang toned down his imposing manner. "It's like hunting."

Yu Yan broke out in a cold sweat: "Hunting... um! Almost, almost."

"It was a false alarm. I'll treat everyone to tea to calm your nerves." Su Yan took out a tea set, tea bags, and a pot of cold water from her system space.

With a flick of my finger, I boiled the cold water, made four cups of tea, and had some dried meat as a snack with the tea.

"Your fire-type talent has reached the Heavenly Rank?" Ziqi took the tea and took a sip.

Su Yan replied, "Yes, having children also helps my talent."

“If we have another one, wouldn’t that be a Spirit Rank?” Zi Qi looked at Su Yan.

"That's how it should be." She wasn't quite sure either, since they were all system rewards.

"Is it possible to get pregnant during a holy war?" Ziqi asked Yu Yan.

Yu Yan replied, "Pregnancy will affect the competition among females later on."

"What is female competition?" Su Yan asked.

Yu Yan looked somewhat embarrassed, glanced at Zi Qi, and then said, "One of the tests is mating ability. The female and male are in a room, and the female can choose multiple males or one. The final result is based on the female's limit, without the use of any drugs to assist her mating. The one who lasts the longest wins."

Furthermore, after this test, females who conceive naturally without medication can double their scores.

"There really is such a step!" No wonder Xiaomei had her store male sperm beforehand; it was to increase her chances of getting pregnant. What if the male she mates with doesn't conceive? That would be terrible. Anyway, as long as she doesn't take any drugs and it's a natural pregnancy, it doesn't matter whose sperm it is; it's just taking advantage of a loophole.

"...How many do you want?" Ziqi asked Su Yan.

Despite the casual tone, Su Yan instinctively tensed and quickly replied, "One! His Majesty is enough!"

Ziqi looked at Yinzang and Yu Yan.

These two, one looking at the broken roof and the other at the map, seemed not to have heard anything.

"You told me before that you wanted me to practice with you, did you already know that?"

"Yes, Xiaomei said so. She also analyzed previous data and found that this is a competition item that has been retained in every Holy War."

"From now on, I'll practice with you every day."

“…Sigh, every day!?” Su Yan was stunned.

……

It's getting dark.

The three people and one mouse arrived at a small town called Xiaozhu.

Su Yan was fast asleep on Zi Qi's shoulder, with a cloud-patterned handkerchief draped over her body, enjoying the treatment that only Xiao Qi received.

"Your Majesty, this is a truce zone."

"Ceasefire zone?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, look at the stone at the entrance of this town. There is a white bird carved on it. This bird is called the Peace Lark. The town that is carved with it is the Truce Zone. There must be no conflict here, otherwise we will be penalized with a deduction of Holy War Points."

"What are Holy War Points?" Ginzo asked.

Yu Yan rolled up his sleeves, revealing a tattoo-like number with four zeros on his wrist. "It's this string of numbers."

Ginzo also rolled up his sleeves, revealing the number 0012 on his wrist. In the abandoned village, he had killed twelve orcs and earned 12 points.

“And all our points will eventually go to the females.” Yu Yan looked at Su Yan, who was sleeping on Zi Qi’s shoulder.

In her beast form, she truly makes it impossible to be on guard at all.

However, those who feign ignorance and pretend to be clueless are the truly ruthless ones.

Ziqi said, "Let's go into town first and hear what's going on."

"Let's eat first." Yin Zang was tall and strong, and he was starving after traveling all this way.

“The common currency during the Holy War was also points,” Yu Yan said.

Ziqi and Yu Yan's gazes both fell on Yin Zang, the only one with points.

Ginzo was a warm and generous person. "Let's go! Let's go eat."

However, when they learned that a single steamed bun cost two points, the three men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Ginzo bought three steamed buns and a meat bun worth five points.

The meat buns were left for Su Yan, who was still sleeping, while the three men each received a steamed bun.

I also asked the steamed bun vendor about how to earn points.

The steamed bun vendor is a native of Xiaozhu Town. He tells them that they can earn points by slaying ferocious beasts outside the town.

The Beasts are orcish creatures that appear only during the Holy War; they have the appearance of orcs but no souls. Killing them earns points. The Beasts will not actively attack truce zones, but they can appear anywhere outside of them.

The twelve orcs that Yin Zang killed were ferocious beasts. And when they first arrived here, the orc corpses in that area were also ferocious beasts, not teams participating in the Holy War.

Besides killing monsters, there is another way to earn points.

Yu Yan told Zi Qi and Yin Zang that the method was to kill the Holy War teams. In the last Holy War, a team of males had 200 points, and a team of females had 100000 points. If a female member of a team died, all the male members would also perish.

Su Yan opened her eyes and yawned groggily.

Noticing that three men were staring at her, she suddenly felt a little self-conscious. "Uh... is there something wrong with me?"

"No, I just realized you're quite valuable," Ziqi joked.

Su Yan sat up, still sleepy, and took out four bags of nutrient solution from her system space, giving one to each of the three of them. "Xiao Mei gave them to me. She said that although the taste is just average, it's better than the food in town. And it won't make you feel hungry easily."

The three of them only ate steamed buns, which not only failed to satisfy their hunger but actually made them even hungrier.

After finishing his drink, Ginzo hesitated and asked, "Any more? Two more, please?"

"Yes, plenty, free of charge." Su Yan took six more packets and tossed them to Yin Zang, while Yu Yan gave her four as well.

Ziqi said, "That's enough."

"Oh." Su Yan took a couple of sips of the nutrient solution, which indeed didn't taste good, so she handed it to Zi Qi, "Your Majesty, don't waste it."

Ziqi: "..." She accepted it anyway and continued drinking. She also gave her the meat bun that Yinzang had bought.

Su Yan smelled it and thought it was alright, so she started eating.

Where are we?

Ziqi drank the remaining nutrient solution and replied, "Trench zone, Xiaozhu Town. Preparing to go out and kill beasts to earn points."

Su Yan had slept the whole way, so she didn't have this information yet, and immediately asked Xiao Mei, "What are points?"

Xiao Mei placed a written explanation of the points rules, along with a guide to the hidden points treasure chest, in Su Yan's system space.

Su Yan immediately took them out, gave one to each of the three people, and took one for herself as well. However, after glancing at them twice, she stopped looking at them.

No wonder Ziqi said she was very valuable; a female in a team is worth 10000 points! While a male is only worth 200 points.

After reading the explanation, Yu Yan thought, "The female points have been reduced. It seems that the last indiscriminate killing of females led to changes in the rules of the Holy War. There are now many more ways to earn points."
