Gurgle! ~

Li Qingyu, still asleep, reached out and touched his belly, which had flattened out again.

Where are the children?!

Where is my eight-month-old baby?!

Empress... how cruel you are...

This is the Emperor's offspring! You are trying to extinguish the last bloodline of our Aijiu Gioro clan!

*Sobbing*

Well....

Something seems off...

Holy crap!!!

Li Qingyu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He sat up abruptly on the sofa and flung the husky off his head.

Huh, why did you say "again"?

Bang! ~

Aww! ~

Thump! ~

A pitiful bark came from the corner of the wall, accompanied by the sound of a storage bin being overturned.

That scared me to death.

Li Qingyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This nightmare was scarier than watching a horror movie! I even dreamt that I was a concubine in the palace.

Palace intrigue is terrifying.

Oh no... it's terrifying to become a woman...

Pregnancy is even more terrifying.

I must have slept too much these past two days; I can't sleep anymore.

My mom said that sleeping too much can cause nightmares, and it seems that's true.

Li Qingyu looked up at the sky outside the window.

Well, it's daytime anyway.

I opened the task panel and checked the time.

It's noon.

It's lunchtime.

It's time to eat.

Li Qingyu propped himself up from the sofa, put on his slippers, and tidied his messy hair.

Li Qingyu, who was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, had only taken two steps when he caught a glimpse of the grass outside the window of Pineapple Castle.

all of a sudden.

Li Qingyu was stunned.

Oh my god!?

Where did my huge green grassland go?

Li Qingyu hurriedly ran to the window, ignoring Qiqi's strange gaze, pressed his face against the glass, and stared wide-eyed out.

The lush green meadow that once stood there has vanished.

Instead, a vast expanse of golden rice paddies stretched out, swaying gracefully in the wind.

Rice!?

Firecracker rice paddies!?

Do I really grow this much rice?!

Kiki only sowed a handful of seeds... just a handful....

How did it suddenly grow so much? Does this rice even reproduce on its own?

[Crimson: Every explosion of firecrackers over the rice paddies is actually sowing seeds. Your precious daughter has once again used nature's bounty to accelerate the growth of these rice seeds.]

[Naturally, it became what it is now.]

[By the way, you slept like a log this morning, even though it was like an army corps was fighting outside, you didn't wake up.]

What the hell would you know?

Crimson, you seem a bit irritable today.

Okay, I do have a vague recollection of it; it sounded like there was some kind of buzzing sound.

I was sleeping this morning, so I don't remember very clearly.

Ugh, why did I have to plant firecracker rice for no reason?

This has all been turned into farmland, can it still be considered an oasis?

Li Qingyu realized something was wrong.

I quickly opened the task panel and looked at the Oasis leaderboard.

Don't ruin Oasis yourself, or the Chinese people will criticize me to death in the live stream.

[Oasis Ranking List]

【1. Li Qingyu, the Pet Civilization】

【2. Abyss Civilization Padis】

【3. The Magical Pet Civilization of Chu Xuan】

4. Flores, the Giant Tree Civilization

5. The Witch Civilization of Muxi

…

Phew, thank goodness.

Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the rankings.

It seems that rice paddies can be considered a kind of oasis.

But what happened to Colonel Chu? How did he drop to third place?

This must make me seem so outstanding, right?

Hahaha....

Keep it low-key...

I can't laugh out loud, or the viewers of the live stream will think I'm an idiot.

Li Qingyu tried his best to suppress his smile.

[Crimson: You still have the nerve to laugh? What's so great about you? For three days, all you've done is sleep and eat.]

[They only ask me when they encounter problems, and only unleash the hounds when they encounter monsters.]

[And you kept the door closed while letting the dog out.]

Don't you have any self-awareness?!

Hey, Crimson, you seem unusually harsh today. Where did the silly you from yesterday go?

I'm too lazy to argue with you.

Besides, I'm just giving you guys a chance to shine.

If I, who am invincible, were to take action, wouldn't you all lose any sense of participation?

What's the point then? It's completely pointless for a live stream.

[Crimson: Shamelessness is truly invincible; I must admit that.]

Li Qingyu touched his face, deciding to ignore the unusually harsh Shen Hong today, and turned to walk towards the kitchen of Pineapple Castle.

Man is made of iron, food is made of steel.

Eating is the most important thing.

If you're not in a hurry to eat, there's something wrong with your brain.

Just as Li Qingyu turned around, neither the viewers in the live stream nor Crimson Eyes noticed.

A flash of blue light disappeared in Li Qingyu's eyes.

Only the husky seemed to sense something, raising its head from the storage bucket in the corner and looking towards where Li Qingyu was.

...................................

China's Special Security Bureau.

Civilization Conquest Tournament, Temporary Strategic Analysis Room.

"The contestant from Jinghai City is still in first place."

The head of the Special Security Bureau sat in the main seat of the conference room, calmly watching Li Qingyu in the live broadcast room, and casually asked, "It's been three days, haven't you found anything yet?"
