Lin Muci stayed in her room, and the little rabbit hopped onto her lap, whispering to her.
"Host... that..."
Lin Muci hummed and looked up at the little rabbit. The rabbit's voice was soft and gentle, yet tinged with nervousness.
"Host, they all want you to bear them children!"
"Host, you need to act fast, find the mole, control the council, and rendezvous with Ling Qianhe..."
None of these tasks were easy.
Lin Muci remained calm.
"Oh?"
"Do they think wanting something makes it happen? A bunch of daydreamers. They won't lay a finger on me."
The little rabbit's voice was so anxious it was almost crying.
"Host, you have to think of a way. If you keep this up, the mission can't be completed."
Hearing the rabbit's tearful tone, Lin Muci thought of something and asked.
"Didn't you say before—"
She paused before continuing.
"You said before that there was a mole hidden within the council, someone who had been parasitized by the Zerg, and that they would subconsciously submit to me, allowing me to manipulate them."
"Where are those people now?"
It was a logical question. The little rabbit hesitated and then whispered.
"They will come to you on their own. You just need to wait for them to find you..."
The little rabbit's voice was soft and wavering. It hesitated again, its voice growing even quieter.
"Oh, and Host, I have some bad news for you."
Bad news? Lin Muci was already immune to the little system's "bad news." After all, the little system rarely delivered good news. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the little system.
"What bad news?"
The little system's voice sounded a bit dry.
"That—"
"Host, Ling Kuang will be arriving at the Central Planet soon."
Lin Muci looked at the little system.
"Isn't that good news?"
"He's here, and I can see him."
"Are you incapable of distinguishing between good and bad?"
The little system secretly glanced at her, its bunny ears drooping, its eyes reddening with a wronged expression.
"I'm not incapable of distinguishing! It's just... it's just that..."
The rabbit's eyes were red. After a long pause, it finally uttered the rest of its sentence.
"But, Host, you are about to sign a contract with someone else and become their female beast. Given that guy's personality, back on the Galactic Battlefield, he thought something had already happened between you. So, in his heart, you are his female beast."
"If you get involved with someone else again, he's definitely going to go crazy."
"Others saying they want you to bear children is just talk; they can't actually do it."
"But he..."
"He means what he says."
"He might tie you up and hide you in the Eighth Prison. Given his level of obsession, doing something like that wouldn't be surprising at all."
"If he ties you up to have children, how will you complete your missions, find the Zerg mole, or control the council? This won't do!"
The little rabbit's voice was filled with grievance. Hearing its utterly wronged words, Lin Muci spoke without hesitation.
"But—"
"If you all knew he would disrupt things, why did you make me this sought-after female beast?"
The little rabbit felt a bit guilty.
"Because I thought he wouldn't be able to reach the Central Planet anytime soon."
"After all, he discovered a Zerg base, and the Central Planet's council wanted him to go there and investigate."
"But there were some problems at that base."
"Someone secretly kept Zerg specimens, intending to research Zerg-related potions privately and thus gain merit."
"Unexpectedly, their operation went awry, and all the researchers in the base were devoured by the Zerg."
"They hatched quite a terrifying Golden Grub Aberration. This type of bug not only devoured the researchers but also utilized the drugs and remaining Zerg specimens in the base to continuously expand, eventually growing into a Zerg sub-nest!"
"If Ling Kuang goes there to investigate... it's extremely dangerous."
"Those disgusting Zergs will get their hooks into him."
"If he's trapped there, he won't be able to break free for at least three to five years."
"Moreover, when we saw Ling Kuang on the Galactic Battlefield last time, he was already on the verge of promotion. But the more powerful the strength, the more it impacts him during breakthroughs!"
"There, his mental power would likely surge and destabilize, leaving him with severe injuries. This would prevent him from escaping... He would be trapped there for a very long time, waiting to be promoted again before he could break out."
"But, didn't you pacify him with your mental power on the Galactic Battlefield?"
"As a result, he directly broke through and killed all the mutated Zergs in that Zerg sub-nest. He wouldn't be trapped there and suffer torment."
"Now, Ling Kuang has already arrived at the Central Planet."
"The reason those researchers withheld Zerg specimens back then was at the instigation of someone on the Central Planet. He found evidence in the research institute, enough to prove that there were Zerg moles among the high-ranking officials of the Central Planet. He's here to demand an explanation."
Lin Muci paused slightly, but she immediately grasped a crucial point.
"Someone on the Central Planet instigated researchers in lower institutes to keep Zerg specimens and study Zerg drugs?"
"Is this mastermind someone parasitized by the Zerg?"
"If so, our goals align. Him arriving is perfect for us to fight enemies together, isn't it?"
"I can fight alongside him."
"What's so terrible about that?"
The little system was momentarily stunned.
If he were truly so rational, calm, and righteous, working with the host on missions... finding the high-level spies hidden by the Zerg on the Central Planet.
Cleansing those moles and then controlling the council would not be bad.
The crux of the problem was.
Ling Kuang was not a righteous person at all!
Anyone who knew him even a little would clearly understand that he was simply a madman who would go berserk for the host!
He was an uncontrollable demonic blade.
He likely didn't even truly care about the future of the human race.
He had been severely suppressed by the human race in the past, so why would he care about the future of humanity?
What he actually cared about was exchanging conditions with the council to find the host, whom he had already determined to be his destined female beast!
So, his arrival would only make the situation even more uncontrollable.
He would simply cause everything to spiral out of control. Then, these difficult men would likely fight fiercely for the host, and who would care about the main system?
And if the host were snatched back and forth between these men, it would be hard for her to focus on important matters.
The worst fear was that Ling Kuang would suddenly go mad and truly imprison the host, forcing her to bear him ten or eight cubs...
Then how could missions be completed, how could the Zerg be dealt with, and everyone would collectively wait for the mother nest to awaken, leading humanity to its demise?
Even if Ling Kuang's combat power was exceptionally strong, capable of taking the host away single-handedly—
The Central Planet and other humans in the galaxy would fall into the hands of the Zerg!
That would absolutely not be a good situation.
The Zerg were always cruel and brutal, enslaving and killing humans.
If human strength could not be unified, then they would be defeated one by one by the incredibly cunning Zerg!
The host originally had the opportunity to become that woman... who could unite the strong humans!
Although the host was a weak female beast, precisely because of this, various factions would not harbor hostility towards her.
The little system thought that with its assistance, by proceeding cautiously, perhaps the host could become the de facto controller of the council, an ambitious de facto empress.
In that case, at least humanity's forces could be temporarily consolidated to resist the mother nest.
Ling Kuang's arrival now might not be a good thing.
After all, if that guy saw others coveting the host, he would probably explode!
The little system fell silent for a while and sighed with immense headache.
Lin Muci, however, said.
"Didn't you say that as the female beast with the strongest reproductive ability, I would only be with the strongest?"
"If he comes."
"He is the strongest."
"Then why should I bother with others? Why not marry him directly?"
The little system was shocked.
"No... Host, you cannot do that. He comes from humble beginnings. If you choose him, all the strong individuals on the Central Planet will go mad!"
"They will be incredibly jealous of Ling Kuang!"
"They will attack him like madmen."
"He will become an enemy of everyone!"
"Everyone will join forces to deal with Ling Kuang, giving him no chance to climb up..."
"Host, calm down. You are playing with fire. If you do this, he will become a public enemy on the Central Planet!"
Lin Muci, however, replied.
"Let the other men be as jealous as they want."
"My man, I have the final say."
"My mission is to find the internal spies manipulated by the Zerg, to make those council members obey me."
"As long as he is strong enough, he won't have to worry about others suppressing him."
"Besides, you said he found evidence and is here to settle scores with those hypocrites who secretly withheld Zerg specimens. Since that's the case, he must be strong and confident, and not afraid of being attacked, right?"
The more Lin Muci thought about it, the more she felt her idea was correct.
"He's my man."
"I can always trust Ling Qianhe."
"As long as he appears, all problems will cease to be problems."
"And he will never let me become someone else's bride."
The little system Yue Xiao was slightly dazed, but after thinking, it immediately utilized its strong computational power and said.
"Host, I think—"
Yue Xiao paused. The little rabbit looked serious, its three-part mouth twitching slightly with effort.
"I think, if Ling Qianhe arrives early, and you want to join forces with him, then you need to become the scabbard for his demonic blade!"
Lin Muci blinked slightly, finding the analogy interesting.
"Scabbard?"
The little rabbit nodded earnestly.
"Yes."
"A scabbard. Host must become the scabbard for Ling Qianhe's demonic blade."
"If he is willing to bow down for you—willing to suppress everyone else for you, willing to help the council and humanity by clearing out the Zerg spies."
"Then your mission can be considered complete."
"As long as he is willing to listen to you—"
"Willing to show mercy to humans, empathize with all living beings."
"Willing to sacrifice himself for humanity."
"Then you will still be the savior who can rescue humanity from dire straits."
Lin Muci glanced at the little rabbit but reached out to stroke its head.
"What, in your eyes, am I, your master, such a useless female beast, only able to rely on men for help?"
"And I need Ling Qianhe to sacrifice himself to help humanity?"
"You underestimate me too much."
"Just like they say female beasts can't control mechs, and female beasts should obediently be kept to bear children, why does everyone think I must rely on men to succeed?"
The little rabbit was stunned.
"But the host's identity is that of a delicate female beast..."
Lin Muci, however, said.
"So what if I'm a female beast? Can a female beast not cover the sky with one hand?"
When she uttered the phrase "cover the sky with one hand," the little system was startled.
It looked up somewhat blankly and asked Lin Muci.
"Host, you want to..."
Lin Muci said.
"The main system won't wake up anytime soon, will it?"
"According to you, those spies and embedded agents the Zerg have placed on the Central Planet will all pledge allegiance to me, right?"
"Then, of course, I should make good use of this opportunity to cultivate my own team and transfer their influence to me."
"If the council is truly corrupt, I will replace it."
"If the research institute can no longer develop new things and has become a tool for the upper class to seek profits, then I will establish a new research institute, select talented individuals from humble backgrounds, and contribute to the future of humanity."
"If... if these people all want to drag me back to have children, then I will exile them to the Galactic Battlefield. They won't be allowed back until they win a hundred victorious battles!"
"I'd like to see who has the audacity to go against me."
"Even if I have no foundation on this Central Planet, I can still achieve something."
"Why wait for Ling Kuang?"
"Whether it's him, or Yang Lanyan, or those strong individuals who are eyeing me covetously, they cannot stop me in the slightest."
The little system was slightly taken aback.
If the host were truly just an ordinary female beast with no foundation, it would naturally be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to succeed.
But the host...
The host was a host filled with all sorts of beneficial buffs!
Seemingly frail, but once the host made up her mind, there was truly nothing she couldn't accomplish. Moreover, the host could fully utilize the Zerg forces to backstab the mother nest, which was truly brilliant!
"Then—"
Lin Muci's thoughts became increasingly clear.
"Let's go out for a stroll."
As long as she figured out who the high-ranking officials manipulated by the Zerg were, she could start trying to control them!
