After Dou Xiujiao, Zhang Lin couldn't contain his excitement and asked several questions in a row.

"System, where did you come from?"

Why would you give me a reward if I got married and had children?

What is your purpose?

"Where did the rewards you gave come from, and what rules were used to distribute them?"

"..."

These were questions that Zhang Lin had kept in his heart for a long time.

He had asked the system before, but back then the system had no intelligence and couldn't answer at all. Now that the system has been upgraded, he was able to ask all the questions at once.

system:"……"

It seemed that although it had upgraded, it was still unable to answer so many questions from Zhang Lin. After a slight silence, it said in a emotionless, mechanical voice, "I'm sorry, host, you have too many questions. I can't answer most of them!"

"Why can't you answer?" Zhang Lin pressed.

"Insufficient permissions!"

Insufficient permissions...

Zhang Lin wasn't disappointed; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited. "You mean, the system can be upgraded again? After another upgrade, you'll be able to answer my questions?"

"Yes."

Zhang Lin nodded slightly; it was just as he had guessed.

"Then tell me the questions you can answer!"

System: "The purpose of this system is to help and encourage you to develop your family. To achieve this goal, the system will issue rewards based on your progress. The reward issuance rules are very simple. The system will analyze your situation and issue rewards that are most suitable for your current situation."

This aligns with his prediction.

The system initially planned to reward him with a house and a car. If the apocalypse hadn't come, money and a car would indeed have been the most suitable things for developing a family.

The system appeared in the very early stages of the apocalypse. At that time, the system's network was probably quite slow, and it wasn't until several days later that it discovered the situation of the apocalypse and promptly changed the rewards.

"So why aren't the rewards being distributed according to the previous rules?" This was the question Zhang Lin was most concerned about.

He was worried that the system would think he was now very strong and therefore no longer needed rewards, so it would stop issuing them.

That would be a trap.

Whether it was Ji Yuetong or Xia Xiaonuan, these people who had awakened their memories had told Zhang Lin more than once that after the new era, their development would be rapid and their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

Because they possess many secrets.

Just like how reborn individuals in novels can become wealthy and powerful figures by relying on their memories, the memories in their minds are like lottery numbers in the apocalypse.

Admittedly, given Zhang Lin's first-mover advantage, even if he is no weaker than others in the future, he will be unable to quickly improve his strength without the system rewards.

Back then, he was just like everyone else. How could he support so many women? And how could he protect them?

Zhang Lin couldn't guarantee it.

Only by possessing abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people can he maintain his comfortable life.

The system rewards are very important to him.

This is also the issue he cares about most.

"The host has passed the novice period. The reward distribution will change from the system selecting suitable items for you to you choosing the rewards yourself. From this moment on, you will receive a certain number of points after completing the tasks of getting married and having children. At the same time, the system will update the item shop with a total of 7 items, which will be refreshed once a month. The host can purchase them with points."

Beginner stage?

Zhang Lin never imagined that, including the new Dou Xiujiao, he would have seven wives, yet he was still considered a novice...

How many wives will I have in the later stages?

Of course, this wasn't a bad thing. Zhang Lin himself was enjoying it and was too lazy to think too much about it. Instead, he started analyzing other information.

According to Zhang Lin's understanding, it's because he was too weak before, and even the system felt that he couldn't survive, let alone get married and have children. Therefore, the rewards issued by the system were all based on what the system thought was more suitable for him.

Just like playing a game, this is the tutorial stage. Players don't have much choice; they just have to do whatever the system tells them to do.

After passing the novice period, Zhang Lin had the ability to protect himself and the strength to develop his family. At this point, he didn't need any novice guidance at all. Therefore, the system stopped automatically issuing rewards and instead converted them into points, which Zhang Lin used to buy what he needed.

Zhang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The system is still running.

The reward is still available.

This gives him the confidence to maintain his advantage in the apocalypse and continue to develop his family, marry, and have children.

"How many points are awarded for getting married and having children?" After breathing a sigh of relief, Zhang Lin immediately inquired about the details.

"The reward for getting married and having children is 6 points each," the system replied. "For specific information about the in-game store, the host can access the system panel."

System panel.

Zhang Lin called out softly.

The next moment, a panel appeared in front of him that only he could see.

This has never happened before.

——————

Host: Zhang Lin

Family members: (Head of the family) Zhang Lin; (Head of the family's wives) An Qingge, Ji Yuetong, Mu Xiaoya, Mu Xiaohui, An Qingwu, Xia Xiaonuan, Bai Jiajia, Dou Xiujiao

Prosperity Points: 6

Zhang Lin first tried clicking on his own name, and a new panel immediately replaced the previous system panel.

——————

Zhang Lin (Head of the Family)

There's not much to see here; it just displays Zhang Lin's specific data.

Zhang Lin then opened An Qingge's data panel.

——————

An Qingge (wife of the head of the family) (pregnant)

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Attributes: Constitution 22, Agility 30, Intelligence 27, Sensitivity 29

Extraordinary Template: Wind Dancer

Extraordinary Abilities: Wind Dancer, Wrath of the Wind, Transformation into the Wind

Items: None

——————

Her basic attributes are far inferior to Zhang Lin's.

The main reason is that Zhang Lin had previously used gene-modifying drugs and was later enhanced by the dragon bloodline. Moreover, the extraordinary template itself has the ability to optimize physical attributes, and his attributes are ridiculously high.

Zhang Lin glanced at Bai Jiajia's profile again and found that her basic attributes were mostly below 10 points.

He averages sixty.

Zhang Lin had no interest in checking everyone's data panels. He returned to the system panel and clicked on the system store, which he was most looking forward to.
