As Fang Ning was sneaking into the Draconic Arcane Realm, before he could even enter his father-in-law's villa, he was stopped by Sir System.
"What do you think you're doing?" Sir System questioned.
"Nothing, " Fang Ning replied as he looked around.
"Damn it, don't think that I don't know what's going on in your mind. Are you trying to find that fiancé of yours to have a baby with her?" Sir System was fuming with rage.
"Uh..." Fang Ning hesitated before responding confidently, "So what? You've only said that I can't get married before the hundredth level, but you didn't mention anything about having children in advance."
"Damn it, how can you have kids if you're not married? Is that something a hero would do? Don't ruin my system's rules!" Sir System was getting angrier by the second.
"To ensure that the arcane realm's River of Blood can properly breed human beings, I've got to experience it once. Don't you know what I'm trying to do, putting theory into practice to find the truth? It's such a coincidence that there's someone who's willing to practice this with me, " Fang Ning justified.
Fang Ning had definitely not been playing around in the past two years. Of course, he had already brought his relationship with his fiancé, Liu Yao, to the next stage.
After all, he could have anything he wanted. As someone who had a background, character, social status, money, power, and the other parents' approval, if he still could not fulfill one's expectations, all his effort spent on love and games had been a complete waste...
In reality, Madam Zhao had pestered him several times that it was time to get married since they were not getting any younger.
"No is no. A young man's body is crucial for cultivation. I'm telling you, as long as you don't reach the hundredth level, you can't get married, and of course, you can't do any of the other bad things. Either way, I won't allow it, " Sir System insisted.
"You're shameless! You're not even my wife, how can you possibly control me on this?" Fang Ning was agitated.
This bastard was constantly interfering his private life.
That was also why even though now that he had accomplished both success and fame, he could only huddle up in the System Space. He could not enjoy his beautiful woman and the fame and glory outside... The only thing he could do was play games all day and read novels.
He had already seen tons of novels, TV shows, movies, anime, and he had never seen such a protagonist as such.
"Hmph, I've already seized you, so yes, I can obviously control this, " Sir System responded with great confidence.
"Shameless, just shameless! This is the shame of the system realm! You're interfering with the host's privacy, you ought to be condemned!" With no alternate choice, Fang Ning could only retreat to the System Space.
"I'm not afraid of any condemnation... Besides, I'm doing this for our good. You humans have such feeble determination, just a little bit of achievement and you're starting to relax yourselves, enjoying the wild nightlife surrounded by alcohol and women. First, it was Yang Guang, and then it was Li Zicheng. There are so many bad examples I can't even count on my fingers, and I'm definitely not repeating the same mistakes, " Sir System lectured."This is for your own good but not only are you not appreciating the effort, but you're also insulting me. It's as if I'm Bi Gan and Wei Zheng was reborn."
"..." Fang Ning was so aggravated he could hardly speak.
This bastard's word games were getting more and more ridiculous.
Was it really the moral influence by contact? In terms of bluffing, he himself could never stand a chance against it now.
Dejected, Fang Ning returned to the System Space with his head hung low.
"If you really want to experience it, it's not that difficult, " Sir System took a step back, "Didn't humans invented cloning? You can find those labs and just run through it once. It's almost the same as giving birth to a child."
"The difference is way more than that, you ignorant stupid system." Fang Ning grabbed the opportunity and snapped back, "Cloning is essentially an asexual reproduction, so there's no way the River of Blood would take such a path to breed humans. You should know that mutation is the key here. The source of the mutation comes from the genetic information exchange between the fraternal and maternal figure."
"Is that so?" Sir System responded meekly, "Seems like I was mistaken."
"Yes, indeed you are. However, you did remind me that although cloning won't work, I can refer to the entire process of an in-vitro fertilization surgery..." Fang Ning really did not want to have come up with such a bright idea but his brain was functioning too fast and immediately thought of an alternative.
"You should've thought of that earlier. See, there's always a solution but you just want to take the wrong road, " Sir System said proudly.
"Scram!" Fang Ning shrieked exasperatedly.
"Alright, alright, I'm going." Sir System knew that Host was getting really furious, and so quickly fled.
...
At the Truth Department Headquarters.
Ren Ruofeng was very pleased. He was just probing around but he did not expect that the Venerable Dragon God would agree right away.
Of course, he knew that this was something difficult to handle. Anything to do with reproduction had always been like that.
It was extremely hard to alter the Heavenly Order.
As a result, the Venerable Dragon God wrote to him stating that it would take at least three months for the River of Blood to become the "Mother" River.
Clearly, he did not know that for Sir System, the large increase in population would mean that it would have the opportunity to step up when there were issues in the public order.
Based on the rules and restrictions, Sir System was not to spread evil artificially, but that did not mean that it would not think of other ways to construct breeding grounds for harvest.
He was happy for some time before Principal Xu came looking for him once more.
"I say, Oldman Ren, don't get too happy first. This entire issue is extremely troublesome. Even if the River of Blood can breed lives, who's going to be the one who looks after them? The whole reason that the fertility rate has dropped is that young people have too little time, so where are we going to find people who are willing to look after these children?" Principal Xu was still not optimistic about this plan.
After all, in his opinion, this was against nature and humanity. In fact, he had a feeling everything was going overboard.
In short, it just did not seem like the orthodox way.
If they want to increase the human population, the right way to begin would be through ideological education. The more children, the blessed the family would be. Once advertised and when logistics support is enhanced, the current trend would then naturally change for the better.
"Hehe, did you forget about those mechs who are still waiting for reincarnation? Not only are they free labor, but most of them also passed because of old age so they should've experienced parenthood, hence why they're suitable to adopt the children, " Ren Ruofeng answered with confidence.
"At the end of the day, there's no blood relationship so would it be alright?" Principal Xu was still having a headache over this problem.
"Even if there's no blood relationship, it'll still be alright. The relationship between both parties can still be pulled closer, " Ren Ruofeng said mysteriously, "I'm just not able to tell you more yet."
"Forget about it, I know that many people are saying that the development of science and technology is the ultimate solution to the human population problem. Changing one's mindset is simply impossible so let's just take it slowly. However, I've been constantly having this feeling that there will be hidden dangers in the future. Between these so-called gods and those nature-born children, nobody has a sure say what's going to happen, " Principal Xu said as he shook his head.
"There's no way around this. In the face of survival, these can all be neglected. We humans are too weak. If we don't expand our value in time, our future's going to very tragic indeed. The mighty beings of the Upper Realm now hope for an increase in the human population, but if the population does not meet their needs and they interfere in this, then we humans will no longer be the leading population... We must know there are now too many intelligent races on Earth now, " Ren Ruofeng smiled bitterly.
"Are you talking about those fellows hiding underground... They're really hidden dangers that'll never disappear..." Principal Xu said thoughtfully. He finally truly understood how the number one Think Tank was always thinking long-term.
No wonder he had always been so eager to treat the issue of expanding the population as a strategic goal, even at the risk of his reputation.
