Chapter 119: My Belly Is Getting Bigger!

Good morning!

It’s another sunny day… Well, not exactly sunny, I forgot we’re in the Fog Zone.

There is a little bit of sunlight, but it’s hardly what you’d call bright.

Speaking of which, last night was the most comfortable sleep I’ve had since arriving in this world.

I thought I’d be too nervous to sleep.

Lin Yu turned to her side and saw a small girl snuggled up next to her.

The girl’s adorable sleeping face made Lin Yu’s heart flutter.

She extended her right hand and gently poked the soft little face of the girl.

The sensation at her fingertips made Lin Yu unable to resist, and she moved her whole hand to caress her.

Afraid of waking Red Pupil, she lightly stroked her twice before stopping.

Carefully moving the sleeping girl’s small hand away from her, Lin Yu sat up in bed and stretched comfortably.

While stretching, she noticed something was off.

My stomach seems to be a little…

For a moment, her movement froze, and her gaze moved downward.

Did it change? Is it bigger?

Lin Yu quickly lifted her shirt and saw that her stomach had indeed gotten much bigger.

Although it was not yet the size of a full-term pregnancy, it was quite noticeable.

Since activating the skill "Lay Eggs," it has been about ten hours, and most of that time was spent sleeping, so… it seems reasonable for it to be this big?

I remember when I was still at Class B LV40, it only took about ten hours to lay eggs…

This time it has been much longer; it’s been over ten hours, and my stomach only feels a little bigger.

And…

Even though I was prepared, it still looked strange…

"Mom."

At that moment, a soft voice and a pair of small hands hugged her from behind.

"Good morning."

"Good morning…"

When did you wake up? You startled me.

"Ah, Mom’s belly is getting bigger, are you going to lay eggs?"

"…not yet."

"Another little sister is going to be born."

The little girl’s small hand gently touched Lin Yu’s slightly round belly, and her little head rested on Lin Yu’s back, sniffing her scent.

"Little Pupil?"

Feeling the girl’s slightly stiff body, the little girl’s lips curled into a subtle smile in a place where Lin Yu couldn’t see.

"What does Mommy plan to do today?"

…

What do I plan to do today?

Since I haven’t fully mastered the "Transformation" skill yet, interactions with the human race will have to wait for now.

After all, I don’t know if I might suddenly revert to being an ant.

So, aside from waiting for these eggs to hatch, it seems like… there’s nothing else to do?

Over the past three years, since the castle appeared, I’ve rarely ventured out to the Fog Zone.

Thus, I’ve spent almost every day within the castle.

Apart from eating and sleeping, my daily routine involves defeating the weakened monsters my daughters bring back. The rest of my time is spent either strolling around the castle and its surroundings or focusing on my daughters.

Observing them work and battle is quite entertaining, akin to watching TV; I can switch between different scenes and even view multiple perspectives simultaneously, so I never feel bored.

The Worker Ants continue to expand their ant hill network, but over the past year, some have begun extending it towards the village near the forest and even further to Aowenduo Town.

I’ve actually considered the possibility that even after conquering the entire forest, I might still not find a way to become human.

By then, I might have to seek a way to become human from the human race.

So, I’ve directed the Worker Ants to start extending the ant hill network towards the town.

As for how to compel the human race to help… of course, it would be through force, such as capturing one or two important figures in the town; they might possess useful information.

Although there’s a risk of exposure, by then the forest will have been conquered, and the ant colony should be quite formidable, so exposure wouldn’t matter.

Huh? This is kidnapping, a crime? I don’t care!

I’m determined to become human, no matter what.

I just didn’t expect to find a way to become human before finishing the conquest of the forest.

However, the expansion of the ant nest into the town must continue, as gathering useful information will eventually require dealing with the human race.

Thus, expanding the ant nest network remains the primary task of the Worker Ants.

Another group of Worker Ants is responsible for transporting and storing the monster carcasses that the ant colony hunts daily. Additionally, they tend to the fruit trees, vegetables, and various herbs in the Herb Garden, watering it as well.

The water they use isn’t ordinary.

It’s everyone’s saliva, ugh…

The thought of eating fruits and vegetables here is a bit nauseating, but since "Magical Soil" has such a peculiar power, there’s nothing I can do.

If I imagine that beautiful girls are watering the plants with their saliva, then I can somewhat accept it.

Moreover, if other types of ants return from hunting, the Worker Ants will pull them into the underground ant nest to contribute to the growth of the Herb Garden.

Me? Of course, I contribute too!

Hehe, the Magical Soil that has been watered by my saliva has ten times the effect!

And the fruits and vegetables grown in this Magical Soil are of the highest quality, which my daughters adore.

But I only do this when I’m a bit bored… Continuously spitting on the soil isn’t my style.

Besides watering, I mean, besides tending to the Herb Garden, the Worker Ants have other duties.

For instance, the Worker Ant with the "Special Mucus" skill needs to reapply Special Mucus to other ants that have lost their mucous layer to enhance their survival during hunts.

The higher the class and rank of the Worker Ants, the more potent the effects of the "Special Mucus" they produce.

Additionally, some Worker Ants are tasked with cleaning the castle.

These are the daily responsibilities of the Worker Ants.

…

Then there are the Weak Ants, whose tasks are more varied and numerous.

Sometimes they assist the Worker Ants in expanding the ant nest network, sometimes they transport monsters hunted by the exploration team back to the nest, and sometimes they remain at lookout points for daily hunting activities.

Furthermore, since most of the Weak Ants have reached Class D, they are also assigned the duty of guarding goblins.

The Weak Ants need to monitor the goblins’ daily mining activities in the Second Ant Nest.

Additionally, the Goblin Ranch has been expanded again; aside from the First Ant Nest, all the other seven ant nests have established Goblin Ranches, both large and small.

The daily counting and control of the goblins are managed by the Weak Ants.

…

The Military Ants primarily hunt, and they also guard the castle and patrol the surrounding area.

Acid Ants and Iron Armored Ants usually work together, and their tasks are similar to those of the Military Ants.

Next are the Earth Digging Ants, who can both fight and assist the Worker Ants in expanding the ant nest network.

Finally, there are the Stealth Ants, responsible for hunting and protecting the Queen Ant.

…

Just watching them work is enough to pass the time every day.

But today, there’s something new to do—I want to practice my sword!

Although I have a big belly, I should be fine as long as I don’t engage in any strenuous exercise, right?

I’m not really pregnant!
