I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 74 Survival Competition

"What? This worthless creature without spiritual power counts too?" Nuowei pointed at Anubis' nose, his face full of intense disdain.

Jie Jin looked toward Anubis, frowning.

Without spiritual power, a Beastman in this world was essentially waiting for death.

But it was at this moment that Qiao Suisui firmly said, "Either you form a team with the two of us, or you go find someone else."

Anubis turned his head to look at her, thinking she was just putting on a strong front verbally, probably very anxious inside about the possibility that the others would abandon them.

A hint of confusion appeared in the young man's eyes.

She had already negotiated to form a team with them, so why insist on bringing these people along? A Class C should have a hard time finding teammates, and if they did, they'd likely be of similar strength—scattered and weak in combat, he thought.

Jie Jin looked at Qiao Suisui for a while and after a long moment, nodded in agreement.

Nuowei yelled angrily, "Jie Jin, why take these two useless ones!"

"Watch your language."

Jie Jin simply gave Nuowei a warning glance, and that alone stopped him from uttering another insult. He asked Qiao Suisui, "Do you have any water in your space?"

"A Mobile Water Source, enough for several of us to drink."

She really had one. Originally, she had planned to bluff with the storage space given by the System to get them to take her along, but unexpectedly, her meager possessions actually came in handy, making the space given by Zong Fang unnecessary.

In fact, before she came, several men had given her a pile of things, almost as if it cost them nothing. There's no need to mention Zong Fang, while Ruka had almost moved the entire Military Department's arsenal for her until, upon her earnest persuasion, he brought her a number of small yet powerful guns, perfectly suitable for her. Leberli directly created a Royal Family identity for her, so now, simply by stating her full name Qiao Leberli, even as a Class C, she would likely have plenty of people popping up to form a team with her. Moreover, if she really managed to enroll this time, this identity would prove to be extremely useful in the future.

Sang Yan taught her a simple Fire Control Technique before she left, and although it still required more practice, it was good to have multiple skills. The Dragon Clan's Talent was Fire Control, and no one could surpass Sang Yan in this aspect.

Ah Yao, true to his practical nature, gave her a huge amount of fresh food—finished products, semi-finished products, fruits, and vegetables. Stored in her space, they could be preserved fresh and taken out to eat conveniently at any time.

This time around, Gai Meilun didn't give her an island but a pendant made from his own teeth, telling her to wear it around her neck. It would automatically activate a shield against attacks, serving as a natural protective barrier. Qiao Suisui felt a lot of pressure when she received it, occasionally glancing at Gai Meilun's teeth. Later, it was Sang Yan who told her not to feel burdened, as shark teeth are naturally replaced often.

So although she was just an unremarkable Class C, with these enhancements and cheats, she could easily overpower a Class S.

Qiao Suisui chose Jie Jin not because of their strength—as out of these five people, only Jie Jin was Class A and the others were Class B—but because she believed that in an unknown and extreme environment, a person's nature is severely tested. A composed nature clears confusion. That's the kind of teammate she needed. She had been observing the whole time, and within her field of vision, the one she caught was Jie Jin and Bi.

So to a certain extent, it was Qiao Suisui actively choosing companions who matched her need, rather than desperately begging Jie Jin to take her in. Jie Jin, too, had keenly sensed Qiao Suisui's mindset, which is why he agreed.

Jie Jin said, "Water is very important, I think we are likely to stay here for a few days."

Qiao Suisui didn't tell them that besides water she also had supplies. It's crucial to be wary of others—not revealing all her cards at once, lest she provoke their greed.

Aside from Nuowei, the five-person group had no objections to their joining, especially after learning that Qiao Suisui had a water source. Jie Jin gave her a whistle and discussed with her, agreeing on how to get the survival kit later, and then he took the others and left.

After they had walked a considerable distance, Anubis asked, "Why take me with you?"

Qiao Suisui looked up at him, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "With you here, I don't seem so weak."

"..."

Anubis, who had maintained a stoic expression until now, was momentarily at a loss for words.

Qiao Suisui patted his arm and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it."

It was then that he understood that her comment was meant to keep him from feeling burdened. At the moment, in her eyes, he was a male without spiritual power, and the way she offered help turned out to be unexpectedly appropriate—it neither made him feel pitied nor embarrassed about his own strength. Instead, by jokingly stating the matter outright, it actually felt refreshingly candid.

"Let's go find where to pick up the survival kit."

"Yeah."

Anubis looked at the young man before him more seriously now, noticing he appeared even younger than himself. The Wolf Clan's bloodline wasn't prolific, and they favored social living, so he had always felt lonely growing up. If... having a younger brother wouldn't be so bad.

No sooner had the thought occurred to him than he dismissed it, and his eyes dimmed.

He couldn't afford to have relationships with anyone; that would only drag them down. Uncle Siwoen, the Wandering Beastmen who died in the ravine, and his father, who over the years had to constantly attract the Federation's attention and yet keep out of sight to ensure his safe upbringing…

By now, most people in the hall had formed teams, and those who were alone were frantically looking to join others, asking if they could be taken along.

Suddenly, the loudspeaker blared—

The loudspeaker's piercing sound broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone's gaze turned toward the source of the sound. An indifferent voice, as if from a deity looking down from above, declared, "You can now begin to collect your survival kits, but remember, there is only one survival kit, and you must prove your worth to get it."

The two joined up with Jie Jin and the others, and Jie Jin said to her, "Stick close to me, we've got to be quick."

The location to collect the survival kits suddenly appeared on the east side of the hall, and the seven-person squad swiftly wove through the crowd. Qiao Suisui's instincts were extraordinarily sharp; she noticed a seemingly inconspicuous corner where another team was quietly closing in on them, seemingly planning to snatch the survival kit after they got their hands on it. She tugged on Anubis's sleeve and signaled to Jie Jin.

Those people shadowed them but stopped short of advancing when they neared the collection point. Nuowei released the hook in his hand, snagging the survival kit with a swift move; at that same moment, a massive stone crashed down.

Anyone attempting to collect the survival kit would now be crushed beneath the giant rock.

"Haha, see, I told you it wouldn't be that simple."

Nuowei laughed triumphantly, but no sooner had he finished speaking than the group that had been following them suddenly surrounded them from front, back, left, and right. The other side had ten people, each with impressive abilities, and now they blocked Nuowei's path. His face instantly soured as he cursed under his breath. Jie Jin, however, remained calm and said to Qiao Suisui, "Now, blow the whistle."
