Chapter 117: It’s Basically a Dating System

Chapter 117: It’s Literally a Matchmaking System

The normally dead-silent alliance chat blew up instantly:

“I was in the middle of fighting ghosts for the alliance when suddenly I got a message telling me to go back and have kids.”

“Oh, fantastic. I can’t even afford to feed myself, and now I’m supposed to have kids?

Whoever turned on this Breeder crap—I’ll wipe out their bloodline.”

“The above comment has been censored for violating alliance regulations.”

“They spring this Breeder shit on us out of nowhere, and then like they’re gunning for me by matching me with ten breeding partners.”

“Dear respected alliance, I’m socially allergic. No way I’m breeding with randos.”

“Dear respected alliance, it’s not that I won’t do it—I’ll pencil it in for my next reincarnation.”

“To the person matched with ten breeding partners: grind out ten kids and toss me two so I can meet my quota.”

The team chat was also filled with complaints:

“What fresh hell is this? Why did the Breeder system suddenly activate?”

“The science nerds wasted decades failing to crack reproduction, and now some dungeon cracks the code overnight?”

“Alliance notice: If the first round of Breeder matching fails, 20% tax hike?! Screw this!”

“Tax tyranny! Revolution now!!”

Wu Yue and Wu Chong side-eyed each other, both keeping their mouths shut.

Wu Chong whispered, “What do we do now?”

Wu Yue thought for a moment. “If we destroy this boss, will the system shut down?”

Wu Chong shook his head. “No way. Stop dreaming.”

Wu Yue looked like her soul had left her body.

The dungeon continued, and a fox that looked like it walked out of a myth descended from the sky onto the open map.

He looked at Lin Qike and Yu Wan. “I never expected you two to actually clear my sappy love test.”

“True love”? Wu Yue’s eye twitched at the phrase.

“However...” The fox spirit’s tone shifted. “Don’t assume my Breeder ‘gift’ lets you humans hook up like rabbits and expect healthy offspring.

Only true love can ensure humanity survives.

Otherwise, you’re headed straight for extinction.

Once the Breeder system is activated, humans gotta stay celibate ‘for love’ until they find their soulmate™.”

Wow. Celibacy: the romantic edition.

Wu Yue blurted out, “What if someone can’t do that?”

The fox spirit laughed and turned its head, its handsome face instantly transforming into a hideous fox visage. It let out a sharp, shrill laugh:

"That nightmare will haunt him for life."

The dungeon suddenly vanished, leaving Wu Yue and others standing in front of the Shadow Puppetry instance.

The alliance chat exploded with the fox spirit’s words:

"The Breeder System is now officially activated. Until humans find their true fated match, they must remain chaste for love."

As soon as this extra message appeared, the alliance chat went dead silent.

After a beat—

"(Smile.jpg) Didn’t the alliance just say they’d reward whoever discovered the Breeder System? Come on, I’d love to know who it was."

"Chaste for love? Sis is already swamped with work stress, and now she has to stay pure for some stinky men?!

Sis is out here grinding every day—what’s wrong with booking a few male models?"

"Sis couldn’t care less about ‘true love.’ I know he’s lying to me, but as long as he puts in the effort for me."

"How the hell do you define true love? Is it just about attraction?"

Alliance Announcement: The Shadow Puppetry dungeon has officially evolved into Fox Spirit—Destined Love, a top-tier SSS main storyline dungeon where the boss cannot be killed.

Once you find your true love and tie the Red Thread, with mutual affection reaching 100, you may enter the Fox Spirit—Destined Love dungeon.

Only if you pass the fox spirit’s trials and prove your love is stronger than gold can you unlock the offspring-rearing system.

Note: Love stronger than gold means devotion to one person for life. Please choose carefully.

As the announcement went out, Wu Yue watched the Shadow Puppetry dungeon’s gates balloon in size, transforming from dull gray to a pink, petal-spewing spectacle, entwined with budding red roses.

Wu Yue’s eye twitched in disbelief. This shouldn’t be called the Breeder System—it’s basically a damn dating game!

The alliance, always on the ball, immediately updated its notifications after the dungeon evolution:

Alliance Notice: The first citizen to clear Fox Spirit—Destined Love will earn the right to reside in Central City.

Additionally, the alliance will chronicle their epic love story on the forum.

They’ll earn the title of Alliance Breeding Ambassador, with full Breeder perks.

Wu Yue and Wu Chong exchanged a glance, both scrambling three steps back at once, desperate not to get sucked into the dungeon.

Instantly, only Lin Qike and Yu Wan remained before the entrance.

After years without children, they had been considering entering.

"You two, we’ll just..."

Wu Yue immediately raised his hand. "Please, go ahead. We owe you one."

As they left, Wu Yue gave a respectful nod. "Hey, if anyone asks later..."

Lin Qike and Yu Wan exchanged a sly grin. "Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you helped us."

Wu Yue and Wu Chong exhaled in unison.

*Phew~ Made it out alive.*

The next second,

their communicators beeped at the same time,

*"Blaze’s Happy Family Group has a message mentioning you."*

They both stiffened.

*"Jian Suiyu: How’s the dungeon run going? @Wu Yue @Wu Chong"*

*"Richard: Which dungeon did Wu Yue and Wu Chong go to?"*

*"Jie Chen: The Breeder system rollout is huge—Wu Chong hasn’t said a word about it. That’s seriously strange."*

*"Fu Yanqi: I just cast a divination."*

*"Jie Chen: Well?"*

*"Fu Yanqi: The reading says they witnessed a new revolution firsthand."*

*"Richard: 🙂 So they actually witnessed the Breeder system launch, huh?"*

*"Jie Chen: Amitabha, monks abstain from women."*

*"Jian Suiyu: Don’t get too excited—it doesn’t mean the Alliance won’t hit you with an extra 20% tax."*

*"Jie Chen: Just wait till these two brats get back to base—I’ll skin them alive!*

*Never doing their jobs, always causing trouble!!"*

Wu Chong solemnly took Wu Yue’s hand, *"Yue Yue, we stick together through thick and thin!"*

Before Wu Yue could feel touched, Wu Chong teared up and added, *"So… can you send me back to the Wu Clan to lay low for a while?"*

Wu Yue, *“….”* Felt like punching him twice.

After sending Wu Chong back to the Wu Clan, Wu Yue slipped into the base and sneaked toward her dorm.

*"Wu Yue."*

The voice behind her made her duck her head.

Just her luck—even sipping water would choke her! She’d deliberately come back in the middle of the night, yet still got caught!!

Turning around, Wu Yue was surprised to see it was Shen Que.

Wu Yue widened her eyes, *"Captain? You’re awake this late?"*

Shen Que stepped closer, *"Jian Suiyu mentioned you were there when the Breeder system launched?"*

She broke into a cold sweat. Oh no, oh no… Someone like Captain—with his kind of wealth—he must be facing a tax hike in the trillions!!

She apologized, *"Sorry, Captain. We thought it’d be a simple ghost hunt—who knew it would turn into something like this?

Who’d expect an SSS-tier main quest boss hiding in some no-name B-tier dungeon?"*

Watching Wu Yue babble like a nervous chick, Shen Que suddenly snorted.

Wu Yue looked up, puzzled, *"What’s so funny, Captain?"*

Shen Que shook his head, *"Nothing. Just wanted to thank you. Thanks to you discovering this system, you’ve done me a huge favor.*

*Get some sleep."*

Then, under Wu Yue’s confused stare, he turned and walked back to his room.
