The Gem Tribe holds a Thanksgiving festival every year to thank the surrounding tribes for their help and to express gratitude for the production of mineral treasures.

On this day, they invite friendly tribes to participate in Thanksgiving together, which makes the atmosphere more festive with more people.

"Okay, I've recovered now, so let's go have some fun together."

Seeing how much Xue Lan and Xue Ting were looking forward to it, Xia Gu naturally didn't want to spoil their fun.

Besides, there's really nothing to do after giving birth, so why not go and have some fun?

Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice rang in Xia Gu's mind. It was the system's voice, and it startled Xia Gu.

[Host rebinding successful, currently detecting!]

[Host! Where are your children?! Where did your children go? There's no baby in your belly anymore, I couldn't detect any!]

Xia Gu seemed to detect an anxiety in the cold voice. She shook her head helplessly, unsure if the system had truly returned.

[Xia Gu: Where have you been all this time? I've called you so many times, but you haven't responded at all.]

[Host, please tell me, where did the baby in your belly go?]

Seeing how anxious the system was, Xia Gu had no choice but to tell the truth.

[Xia Gu: During the time you were gone, I gave birth to all the snow leopard cubs. Don't worry, every snow leopard cub is very healthy.]

Upon seeing Xia Gu's words, the system's panicked state instantly turned into silence.

[Summer Mushroom: Never mind, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to attend the Gem Tribe's Thanksgiving event later. You can do the testing yourself.]

Throughout the journey, the system gradually monitored Xia Gu's body, and this monitoring actually detected some things that shouldn't exist.

That is the energy crystal core.

The system emitted a sound the instant the crystal nucleus was detected.

However, the system was still testing the waters and felt that Xia Gu had not discovered this thing.

[Please complete the mission, host: Meet a new beastman and thus have more children, or have children with your existing beastman and advance them to the Golden Beastman level!]

[Reward for completing the task: 500 points!]

Upon seeing this task, Xia Gu felt a wave of dizziness. She had just given birth, and now she was about to give birth again.

This is blatantly treating her as a reproductive organ, not a person at all, but a tool. She will never bow down to this.

In addition to those points, they're nothing to Xia Gu. If something really dangerous were to happen, she wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

[Xia Gu: Come on, you haven't given me a single break. You've been gone for so long, and all you do is make me do tasks. You might as well have just disappeared.]

[If the host does not complete the tasks, they will no longer receive energy cores. Please think carefully before proceeding!]

The system immediately issued a warning to Xia Gu, but Xia Gu just laughed out loud. She had already absorbed so much of the crystal core, did the system really think it could hide it from her?

[Xia Gu: I'll give you one chance. Explain yourself properly where you've been lately. As for the energy core, I don't need you to give it to me; I've already found it.]

Sure enough, the system fell silent instantly, completely at a loss for words.

Xia Gu chuckled softly, realizing that she had completely grasped the system and could use it to threaten it in return.

That way, she wouldn't have to do those pointless tasks anymore. There's no fairness at all for Xia Gu; she's always being led by the nose.

[Please explain as soon as possible how the host obtained the energy crystal core!]

Even now, the system still wants to control Xia Gu and maintain complete control.

But Xia Gu isn't stupid; how could she possibly reveal everything in this situation?

[Xia Gu: I've said everything I needed to say. There are still some things I can only say after you've finished speaking. I've given you one chance, and I hope you won't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.]

Faced with Xia Gu's powerful system, they ultimately lost and were no match for Xia Gu.

[Host, I was sent back to the factory for repairs and testing for a while, so there hasn't been any activity since.]

[Xia Gu: Then why did you lie to me before, saying that there are no energy cores in this world?]

Xia Gu's words silenced the system, as it indeed couldn't answer this question.

Xia Gu could only continue communicating with the system. After all, some things had to be said, since the system was constantly monitoring her behavior. Hiding them was pointless.

[Xia Gu: I discovered a crystal core mine in the Orc world, and there are actually a large number of crystal cores inside that I can absorb. So, threatening me with quests is no longer an option.]

Faced with Xia Gu's relentless questioning, the system finally had no choice but to tell Xia Gu all the facts.

[Host, there are actually several crystal core mines throughout the orc world. The system can help you find them, but you must also complete the tasks assigned by the system. Otherwise, both the system and you will be completely annihilated.]

In the last sentence, Xia Gu seemed to hear the system's shock at life and death.

It seems this system isn't just a cold, impersonal machine; it's also something that can be led by the nose.

So much time has passed, even the snow leopard cubs have been born, before Xia Gu finally got this answer.

She found this utterly ridiculous. She felt completely at the mercy of the orcs; if she hadn't worked her way up to this position, she might have been wiped out long ago.

[Xia Gu: So we're actually a community. If that's the case, why do you still have so many demands on me? Aren't you afraid I'll rebel and not want to complete the mission?]

[Xia Gu: I can also help you complete the mission so we won't be wiped out, but you must do everything in your power to meet my demands, otherwise none of us will survive.]

She had already died once, so she had long since become indifferent to the question of life and death.

If you can live, you live; if you can't, so be it. Anyway, Xia Gu's experiences are already rich enough; she's lived a fulfilling life.

She doesn't mind reaching the top, but whether she can reach it depends on whether the system cooperates.

All of this depends on the system's own decision. Xia Gu has already extended the olive branch; it's up to the system to accept it.
