I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 105: Birthday

Qiao Suisui had been seriously ill, feeling lethargic and confused, making up for the days of lost sleep. In her dream, she finally returned to the real world. Excitedly, she ran home to see her family, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. However, when she opened the door, she froze in place. Her family was sitting around a round table celebrating her brother's birthday.

They were happily singing the birthday song, letting her brother make a wish. After blowing out the candles, he received a gift from their mother, opening it to reveal the latest smartphone priced over ten thousand. And in the past eighteen years, she had only eaten cake on her brother's birthday.

They sat together, so complete.

As if they didn't feel that someone was missing from this family.

Qiao Suisui stood at the doorstep, slowly closed the door, and stood at the entrance for a long time. In a trance, it seemed like someone was calling her name...

"Qiaoqiao."

"Qiaoqiao..."

"Qiaoqiao, don't cry, I'm sorry."

"Qiaoqiao, I love you..."

Gasping for air, Qiao Suisui opened her eyes, finding her face streaked with tears and her pillow soaked.

Her forehead and neck were covered in sweat. Seeing her awake, Zong Fang picked her up and gently patted her back.

"It's alright, it's all over."

Looking at him somewhat absent-mindedly, Qiao Suisui asked in a daze, "Was it you who called me back?"

"What?" Thinking she was not fully awake yet, Zong Fang wiped the sweat off her body and asked, "What did you dream about?"

It took Qiao Suisui a while to recover. She rested her head on Zong Fang's shoulder and murmured despondently, "I dreamt about a birthday..."

In the Interstellar, there was no such thing as a birthday or such ceremonies. Every Beastman's birthdate was used as a serial number printed in their file, serving as a citizen authentication code at most. They placed more importance on mating and various ritual ceremonies. Perhaps it was also because the birth rate of newborns was so low—reproduction itself had been industrialized—so there was no custom of celebrating birthdays.

But Zong Fang, having read about this tradition in books on Ancient Humans, knew that the 'birthday' mentioned by Qiao Suisui held significance for her.

"When is your birthday?"

Qiao Suisui shook her head, using the small motion to wipe away the tears that flowed out with his clothes, and said, "I don't remember."

She quickly forced herself to adjust her mood, made an excuse to go to the bathroom to take a bath, and asked Zong Fang to leave. In reality, she wanted to be alone to sort out what to do next.

The dream reminded her that she was just one step away from activating the transmission function. She had long wanted to return, but was the life after returning really what she wanted? The idea of returning seemed to have been an answer to avoid thinking from the beginning.

She felt afraid because she did not understand this world, and after learning the rules of this world, she decided to develop her own ability to protect herself. But stripping away those fears and anxieties, she began to adapt more and more to this world, its rules, accustomed to being taken care of by Ruka and the others, and even found ways to enhance her own strength... It no longer seemed as repulsive as before.

And in the real world, was anyone really waiting for her to return?

Qiao Suisui pondered in her mind and could only count three people. One was her good friend Lin Xixi, another was her mentor Guan Weizhi who had once helped her, and the last was her brother, Qiao Jiming.

Thinking of him, Qiao Suisui's emotions became very complex.

She felt resentment, resenting why her mother always favored him. She was only a year older than Qiao Jiming, yet she always had to yield to him and take care of him, and all good things always came in only one portion.

At the same time, she couldn't vent her resentment because Qiao Jiming always kept the best things for her. He would secretly save money to buy her birthday presents, and her first dress was a gift from him. She wished Qiao Jiming were a terrible, selfish person, so she could rightfully hate him. But he just had to be clean-cut and studious—ever since they were young, always following her around, calling 'Sister,' 'Sister.'

Steamed by warmth, her cheeks tinted with red, enhancing her delicate features. Qiao Suisui opened her storage compartment and took out a Beauty Enhancement Pill, placing it in her mouth—this item couldn't even be exchanged for points and was only rewarded after childbirth. She had neglected it due to a bad mood a few days ago, but now she started to take inventory of her small warehouse.

Aside from the unused Earth Tower, this time she had also been rewarded an apartment, and she planned to expand the inn directly and open another branch. Besides that, there were many weapons; she casually grabbed an Emei dagger, feeling it was short and sharp, suitable for her use, and pinned it to the top of her storage compartment. There were also other various supplies, among which the most important was the Spiritual Power Ore.

Qiao Suisui took out a piece, closed her eyes, and used the last method to dissolve the ore into her chest. Sure enough, soon a warm current spread through her limbs; the System's voice sounded—

[Congratulations, Host. Your Spiritual Power Level has upgraded to B.]

She used the theoretical knowledge learnt at school to mobilize her spiritual power. This time, not hindered by pregnancy, she felt endlessly energetic, and her thoughts could transmit farther, covering a broader range.

Qiao Suisui was not satisfied, she directly took out the remaining four ores rewarded and pressed them all into her chest.

"Hmm...."

She grimaced in pain, biting her lower lip. This time the impact was too intense; the warm current ran rampant in her body, her hands gripping the edge of the bathtub, her fingertips turning pale from the force.

Qiao Suisui endured the pain and mobilized her spiritual power. After a while, the internal heat finally dissolved, and the ore's power merged well with her original spiritual power.

[Congratulations, Host. Your Spiritual Power Level has upgraded to S.]

From B to S, an increase Qiao Suisui had not anticipated!

It seemed that using four ores together had a much greater effect than using one, though tolerating the merging process was required.

She placed her hand in the water and then closed her eyes. In an instant, blue flames appeared in the water. This was the Fire Manipulation Technique Sang Yan had taught, further enhanced with her own understanding and current spiritual power, creating Water in Fire.

The original Fire Manipulation Technique had a weakness: it could be suppressed by water control. But Qiao Suisui's Fire Manipulation had evolved to lose this weakness. Sang Yan's fire, born from the dragon's vein, could not be countered by ordinary water, only beastmen with higher spiritual power had a chance to breakthrough his fire. Qiao Suisui's spiritual power was now top-grade among male orcs, and combined with her unique Water in Fire, her combat ability had doubled.

However, her basic attributes, such as physical strength and endurance, were much lower compared to an average male orc. This could only be compensated by exchanging 3000 points for attribute points increment. But she had not yet decided to stay in this world, so she was reluctant to spend her points carelessly.

Being able to enhance her spiritual power without spending a single point left Qiao Suisui very satisfied.

"Qiaoqiao, are you done yet?"

Hearing Zong Fang knocking outside, Qiao Suisui had the System disguise her spiritual power to still appear as Level C, before replying, "I'm done."

She walked out barefoot, wrapped in a bathrobe, with her wet hair still draped over her shoulders.

Upon opening the door, steam and heat rolled out, causing the candle flames to flicker.

Zong Fang shielded the candlelight with his hand, and Qiao Suisui watched as he held a small cake with a candle on it, hearing him say, "From now on, each year on your birthday, we'll add one more candle, alright?"
