Yun Shu put on the Floating Cloud Hairpin, a hair accessory component from the newly obtained Mystic Sound of the Nine Heavens Set. Its skill was invisibility.
This component was highly practical and had no cooldown.
With this.
In the future, if she wanted to observe from behind the scenes, she would no longer need the System to constantly monitor her surroundings to prevent someone from suddenly appearing and blowing her cover.
As the outfits in her wardrobe grew more abundant, the persona of the Divine Lady she played became increasingly secure.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have used dream-weaving to show them scenes from the modern 1970s.
Using the 1970s as a background wasn't just because the technology of that era was more suitable for the people of this world to learn. It was also because her history was quite poor; she didn't know how to construct dreams of other dynasties, and the System couldn't act as those ancient sages and great scholars either.
Furthermore, the Great Yong Dynasty in the book was a fictional setting, and the author's writing skills were limited, failing to make real-world elements logical. This resulted in a highly chaotic timeline and cultural dissemination. If she and the System tried to sort it all out to create a coherent dream about ancient sages, they would probably go bald from stress and still fail.
Therefore, she could only do her best with what she knew.
“Host, you still haven't told me what we're doing creeping around like thieves in the middle of the night,” the little fox asked.
An invisible Yun Shu hoisted a large gunny sack purchased from the Pinduoduo System onto her shoulder and pointed to another one on the ground. “You'll find out in a bit. Hurry up and carry that sack. If we move fast, we can come back early and catch up on some sleep.”
The little fox looked at the large gunny sack on the ground, which was several times its own size, and asked with a bewildered expression, “Host, what on earth is inside this sack?”
Receiving no reply from Yun Shu for a long moment,
it looked up only to find that she had already walked into the teleportation portal with her sack, setting the landing coordinates to Yecheng.
Seeing this, the little fox quickly bit onto the large sack, using every ounce of its strength to drag and pull it along.
In truth, Yun Shu had bought many human skins for it, but it didn't like a single one of them.
Because they were all incredibly ugly!
Following Yun Shu into a family's pigsty, the little fox instantly recalled the three months it spent raising pigs on the mountain. Feeling as though its world was collapsing, it cried out in utter despair, “Host, you don't want to raise pigs again, do you? Please, no!”
“We're not raising pigs.”
Hearing Yun Shu say they weren't raising pigs, the little fox immediately let out a long sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't raising pigs...
It really had a phobia of pigs!
Yun Shu lowered the large gunny sack from her shoulder, stared thoughtfully at the pigs in the sty, and asked, “System, can you calculate which of these pigs are suitable for breeding?”
If not,
then she had no other choice.
She would just have to arrange a blind marriage for them.
“Host, wait a moment, let me check.”
The little fox let go of the sack, opened the system interface, and tapped its paws rapidly on the virtual keyboard.
After a flurry of operations,
it said, “Alright, Host. Take a look. The ones I've filtered out are all suitable for breeding.”
Previously, it didn't have so many functions. This was all thanks to it constantly using Shock Value to upgrade itself.
The higher the System's level, the more functions it unlocked.
If it accumulated a bit more Shock Value, it could level up again.
By then, it would no longer be the absolute worst system at the bottom of the Great God Space; it could at least rank third from the bottom.
Though it was only a small step, sooner or later, it would become the most powerful system in the Great God Space!
No matter what, it couldn't embarrass its host.
Since its host was so incredible, it had to become incredible too!
Looking at the selected pigs, Yun Shu happily scooped the little fox into her arms and praised, “System, you're awesome.”
Before the little fox could fully savor the praise, Yun Shu had already set it aside to start her work. Perhaps because it was already used to this, it only felt a brief moment of disappointment.
Glancing over to see Yun Shu untying the sack, it crept closer.
At first glance, it gasped. Good grief, the sacks were completely filled with pomegranate seeds used for conceiving children.
“Host, don't tell me both of these sacks are filled with pomegranate seeds? Where did you get so many?”
It remembered that the Multi-Jeweled Pomegranate Branch, the hand-held component of the Pomegranate Abundance Set, had a one-month cooldown after a single use, right?
“By exploiting a bug. I discovered that as long as I don't pick out all the pomegranate seeds from that pomegranate, its skill won't refresh, and the seeds will grow back the next day.”
Yun Shu looked with satisfaction at the two full sacks of pomegranate seeds. She had painstakingly picked them out, one by one.
Initially, she had wanted to directly give the Love Gu and the pomegranate seeds to the people of Yecheng to save time and effort.
But later, she considered that someone would inevitably harbor malicious intentions and use these two items on humans.
Sanitation in ancient times was poor, and a woman giving birth was usually no different from taking a trip to the gates of hell.
Giving birth to a single child was risky enough, but multiple births could be fatal.
She couldn't afford to gamble on the darkness of human nature.
Therefore, she could only work harder herself, feeding the Love Gu and pomegranate seeds to the livestock under the cover of night.
Sigh, she had already made the grand promise. Since she had promised that the six domestic animals of Yecheng would flourish for three years, she naturally had to make it come true.
The little fox: “...”
After hesitating for a long time, it whispered, “Host, how can you even tell me about exploiting a system bug? I'll pretend I didn't hear it this time, but don't do it again, okay?”
“System, comrades fighting side by side must build absolute trust to fearlessly leave their backs to each other. That's why I won't lie to you.”
Yun Shu reached out and gently patted the little fox's head.
“Host...”
The little fox sniffled, its eyes welling with tears. Fearing that Yun Shu would see, it hurriedly turned its face away.
“Let's get to work.”
The sooner they finished, the sooner Yun Shu could rest.
During this period, seeing Yun Shu squeeze every single second out of her time, how could it not feel bad for her?
But no matter how much it advised her, it was useless.
It wasn't always a good thing for a host to be so career-minded...
That night, the person and the System were busy non-stop.
The System was responsible for filtering out the breeding livestock, while Yun Shu was responsible for placing the Love Gu on them and then feeding them the pomegranate seeds.
From horses, cattle, and pigs down to sheep, chickens, and ducks, none escaped this frantic, artificial breeding session.
Meanwhile, the people of Yecheng, hypnotized by the Dream-Entering Bell, couldn't hear a single sound and remained completely in the dark.
...
The next morning.
A resident of Yecheng who woke up early to feed the chickens saw the chicken coop piled high with pristine white eggs, leaving them slack-jawed with shock.
“Oh, my goodness! My Divine Lady!”
She squatted down and counted them again and again.
Normally, these two or three hens would only lay about two eggs a day, maybe three or four at most.
But this pile in front of her had at least fifty or sixty.
Just then, her next-door neighbor came running over, saying anxiously, “Auntie Zhang, something bizarre happened at my house!”
“What is it?” Auntie Zhang, still holding the eggs, asked instinctively. “Did your hens also lay a ton of eggs today? Mine did too, dozens of them!”
“More than that!” the woman said excitedly. “My old cow, which could never get pregnant, actually conceived! Auntie Zhang, don't you think this is bizarre?”
“I know, I know...” Auntie Zhang's eyes suddenly grew red. “This must be the blessing of the Divine Lady!”
The exact same thing was happening in every single household in Yecheng.
