Chapter 7 Trigger.
The sudden exclamation startled Lu Xia, and she even doubted what she had heard.
Pregnant?
Her?
The eight people standing in front of her looked at her with incredible eyes, as if they were looking at some rare creature.
"Why do you think so?" After her mind quickly returned to normal, Lu Xia asked her doubts.
The young orc who had just spoken pointed to the indicator light on her wrist that was still flashing: "Isn't this a reminder of pregnancy?"
Although there have been no females who conceived naturally in the empire for hundreds of years, the role of this indicator light on the terminal is deeply engraved in the hearts of every citizen.
He would never remember it wrong.
After all, the empire attaches great importance to whether there are females who conceived naturally.
This small indicator light flashed frequently in front of them at this moment, carrying an incredible miracle.
After hearing this explanation, Lu Xia was stunned for a second and laughed: "What a joke, is it not possible that my terminal is faulty?"
Uh... this possibility may also exist.
Without giving the group too much time to think about this issue, Lu Xia said naturally: "Okay, you can go back now. Wait until the dormitory here is cleaned up. If you don't want to go back in the future, you can live here. Disband now."
After saying this, Lu Xia didn't delay for a second and turned around and quickly walked out of the door of the conference room.
The old housekeeper stood outside the door for a long time. When he saw Lu Xia coming out, he was about to ask where to go next, but he heard Lu Xia say: "Go buy a few more terminals, the latest models."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Xia wanted so many terminals for, but he didn't ask more questions. After nodding and saying yes, he hurried to deal with the matter.
After getting along with Lu Xia these days, the old housekeeper finally accepted Lu Xia's various unusual behaviors now.
Maybe it was because he was shocked too many times, he no longer wanted to know the reason as much as he did at the beginning, and Lu Xia was not a female who liked to explain. She only wanted the result.
After the old housekeeper left, Lu Xia returned to the hovercraft to turn on the terminal and searched what the terminal prompt light flashing green light meant?
Even though she acted very calm and natural in front of the eight people at that time, it didn't mean that she didn't care about it deep down in her heart.
Pregnancy?
How is it possible?
Isn't it said that "defective" males can't make people pregnant?
Besides, there hasn't been a natural conception in the empire for many years. Now the population growth of the empire depends entirely on "artificial", okay?
Just when she was questioning in her heart, the answer to the search appeared - terminal prompt light description: used to prompt that the female has successfully conceived.
A short explanation, indicating that the person just now was not lying.
This prompt light, which she didn't understand what it was for, really indicated that the conception was successful.
Ha, why is there such a weird design!
Could it be a malfunction? It must be a malfunction!
How could she be pregnant?
Just when Lu Xia was doubting her life, the old butler came back with several terminals in his arms: "Your Excellency the Duke, what you want..."
Before the old butler finished speaking, Lu Xia had already reached out to take the terminal from his arms: "Okay, give it to me, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do." The old butler said this in a formal way, and then watched Lu Xia take off the terminal on his wrist and began to try on the terminals he bought one by one, and then watched all the terminals that had been worn flash green lights uniformly.
Uncontrollable shock appeared in his eyes, even though the old butler pretended to be calm, he couldn't restrain himself. What did he see?
The warning light that existed but never had any effect actually flashed!
It turns out that this thing is really not a decoration!
What does this mean, does this mean that Duke Lu Xia is pregnant?
After wearing dozens of terminals and getting the same result, Lu Xia accepted her fate and looked up at the old butler who could not hide his shock: "Do you also think I'm pregnant?"
"No, but, this..." The old butler was shocked and was incoherent for a while. At this moment, his mind was blank and he could no longer think about what he should say or do. He just stared at the terminal on Lu Xia's wrist.
As long as they are citizens of the empire, no one does not know what the only indicator light on the terminal indicates. Maybe they can't remember it on weekdays, but once it flashes, no one can ignore its role.
Although the old butler was uncharacteristically, Lu Xia still got the answer from his shocked expression.
It seems that everyone thinks she is pregnant now!
"Let's go home." She said calmly, but she was thinking in her heart whether she should find time to go to the hospital for a check-up. Even if it is true, she can't trust a terminal test.
"Your Excellency, the people from the Fertility Research Institute may find you soon." The old housekeeper finally came to his senses, but what he said made Lu Xia's heart jump. "What do you mean?"
The old housekeeper tried to calm down his inner shock while explaining: "This detection function on the terminal is related to the Imperial Fertility Research Institute. Once it is triggered, the Fertility Research Institute cannot be unaware of it. It's just a matter of time."
"..." Lu Xia was really speechless at this time. In other words, her "pregnancy" has been spread?
*
At this time, in the Imperial Fertility Research Institute, the researcher responsible for monitoring "natural conception" yawned out of boredom. It happened to be his turn to be on duty here today. For this monitoring work, in the minds of these researchers, it has been equivalent to "taking a break on duty".
After all, this monitoring system has been in existence for hundreds of years. The researchers in charge of monitoring don't know how many people have been rotated, but they have never received any feedback.
Many people even think that this monitoring system is no longer necessary and should be abolished as soon as possible, so that a sum of money can be saved and used in other research projects.
Instead of wasting money on a monitoring that is no longer likely to produce results.
The fact is, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for females in the empire to conceive naturally.
Over the past few hundred years, females have long been replaced, and perhaps the gene that allows natural conception has long disappeared from the bodies of all orcs.
There is no point in continuing the research.
"Link, are you on duty here today? I just ordered takeout, so let's eat together?"
When his name was suddenly called, Link, who was bored, turned around and responded with a smile: "Then I'm welcome. I was just thinking of ordering some food to kill time."
"Yeah, in my opinion, it's better to abolish this monitoring as soon as possible. If it goes on like this, it won't be..." The person who spoke stopped talking abruptly, and his calm eyes were replaced by shock. What did he see? The indicator light that indicated natural conception lit up!
Not only that, the shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire research institute!
