Ai Cao was bound to a system under the Heaven's Will.
The skills provided by the system allow men to get pregnant, using their bodies as nourishment (upon death) to birth new life.
...
Artemisia and Jasmine got bored while waiting, so they decided to take a tour of the inner area of the Golden Hall.
Using Xia Moli's terrifying mental strength, they dragged out and killed the men hiding in the water pipes. While the two of them were standing there in a daze on the circular display stand, Nana returned.
The "Bone of Adam" has been successfully taken away by the robot, and we have received a reply from the robot that a full study can be conducted in a week.
Besides that, according to Nana's account, the robot didn't say anything else and left in a hurry.
"Shall we go too?" asked Ai Cao, who was sitting on the display case of the auction items.
“Okay,” Nana said. “Based on the timeline she provided, we still have plenty of time to retreat.” She turned to Xia Moli. “Xia Moli, is there anything else you wish to purchase in this city?”
Xia Moli shook her head: "Let's just leave."
She glanced at the golden hall filled with corpses, then turned and left with Ai Cao and Nana.
Stepping outside, Xia Moli took a deep breath of the fresh air.
Though the road before her was shrouded in mist, the light at its end had already illuminated the path. That light pierced through the mist—she wanted to reach it, for the light was there.
Even after returning to the warship, Xia Moli still had that blank expression.
Ai Cao sorted through the things she had scavenged from the corpse and asked the system, "Can these be considered as luck?"
The system was speechless: "How can luck be... well, it can be calculated, but not much." It thought for a moment and then said, "I just went to negotiate with the system's central platform."
"Mmm," Ai Cao replied casually. "How much luck can it be calculated?"
"Let me tell you about the negotiation situation first," the system said. Surprisingly, it wasn't angry this time, and still spoke in a measured tone: "The system center said that they forgot to send you a newbie gift pack. The gift pack contained the ability to change a skill once."
"Wow, what terrible service." Ai Cao smiled. "Where can I complain about your central platform?"
"It's terrible that there's no complaint channel yet," the system complained, then continued, "I heard you say before that you wanted to restore the bodies of the women in this world who were originally dead."
“That’s right,” Ai Cao admitted.
“Generally speaking, bringing the dead back to life is against the rules,” the system said. “But since this is a world where spiritual power can be quantified, it’s not like we can’t give you a backdoor.”
“Originally, the [Good Pregnancy] skill had a long turnaround time because it needed to create a brand new life from nothing. But…” the system paused before continuing, “If you can precisely control… or communicate with the consciousness of those women who have died, then the platform can modify this skill.”
"Make it better suit your current needs."
“But after the change, the skill can no longer create life,” the system said. “It can only become a transit point. Using the flesh and spirit of the pregnant woman, it can reshape the spirit and flesh of the dead.”
"Artemisia, would you like to?"
The system's tone was unusually serious.
But the mugwort still smiled easily.
"What kind of changes are possible? What about the scope and limitations of its use?" Ai Cao asked casually.
"Where your gaze falls, there your skill will fall," the system said. "Once the skill is successfully cast, it can be used on the next target."
"What if I want to use the skill on several people at the same time?" Ai Cao then asked.
“I don’t recommend it,” the system said sternly. “Your mental strength is only D. Without someone else’s help, you cannot communicate with souls.”
“Got it.” Ai Cao smiled. “I’m going to change my skills. Anyway, in this world, I can achieve my goal with the help of Xia Moli and the robot—as for the next world, we’ll see when that happens.”
The system was silent for a moment before saying, "The skill has been changed."
Artemisia unlocked her skills.
[Good news]:
It is only effective for individuals whose biological sex is male.
Every step was exactly the same as a real pregnancy.
During the duration of the skill, the body and soul of the target are absorbed from the [uterus] location corresponding to the female, and the consciousness of the old life is attached to the newborn body.
The duration of time spent on the object is the expected time of the old life consciousness.
Based on the patient's age and experience during their lifetime, as well as their own will, a new physical body is created.
Cooldown time: None.
Ai Cao looked at her skill description and grinned from ear to ear.
Nana, who was beside her, reminded her, "Aicao, do you still need physical training?"
Ai Cao said with a grin, "Yes, let's go now."
She happily followed Nana into the training room, already planning her grand entrance.
She wants to make the men of this world pay the price.
