Chapter 160: Do I Still Have to Be a Nanny?
After two more painful lessons from point rewards, Yingzhou couldn't help but touch his own face, starting to wonder if he was cursed with bad luck.
"Damn it, isn't this a bit too ridiculous? I don't think I'm that unlucky, right? Why won't it drop anything good?"
Looking at the only remaining chance for a draw, Yingzhou didn't dare to pull again.
"Is it because the weather is bad today that nothing good is dropping?"
Yingzhou began to mutter to himself, shifting the blame for his bad luck onto the weather.
"The system suggests the host stop thinking about such meaningless things. You have bad luck and poor fortune, yet you blame the weather. Doesn't the host feel embarrassed?"
"You actually spoke up! This Random Draw is way too much of a scam! Since it's such a scam, why don't the Task rewards give more draw chances? Do you have to be so stingy?"
Yingzhou knew the system definitely wouldn't help him draw the prize he wanted, so it was better to take a step back. Since this Random Draw was so unlucky, why not just give a few more chances?
"Host, what you say makes a lot of sense, but your schemes are so loud that even this system can hear them. This is impossible; please abandon such thoughts."
"I &&*&*&, that's 6."
Yingzhou babbled a bunch of nonsense he couldn't even understand himself, and finally, he had to calm his mood. After feeling his emotions gradually settle, Yingzhou used the last draw chance.
"Consuming 1 Random Draw, Random Draw in progress..."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gene Primarch (Infant) Lord of Fire Dragons—Vulkan Vulkan."
Upon hearing the prize he had drawn, Yingzhou couldn't help but widen his eyes. A surge of intense joy rushed to his heart; this was a grand prize from the Random Draw, and he had actually pulled it just like that?
"I... I'm not dreaming, am I! This! This is too awesome!"
Yingzhou's chest heaved with excitement, but upon seeing the word "infant," he couldn't help but ask the system.
"System, what does this 'infant' mean?"
"It means the host can find the required materials to fuse with the obtained Gene Primarch (Infant). After the fusion, the host will receive the Gene Primarch (Infant) modified by the system, and the host must raise it to adulthood. Furthermore, once the host has obtained the Gene Primarch (Infant) and summoned it, the host cannot take it back."
After hearing the system's words, Yingzhou's joy gradually cooled. Good grief, does this mean that even if he summons him, he can't help him at this stage? Not only does he have to fight the Alien Race, but he also has to find time to raise a child?
"So, I've become a nanny? Where am I supposed to find the time?"
Thinking of this problem, Yingzhou couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"The Gene Primarch (Infant) summoned by the host can have its Original Battle Group summoned once the host has raised the child to adulthood, or it can be summoned and handed over to the Gene Primarch to lead."
Yingzhou had been feeling a bit of a headache, but after hearing the system say this, he instantly perked up.
"System, where should I find those materials?"
"The corpse the host collected earlier can serve as material. However, since the system still needs to fuse it, that corpse can only cover a portion, so the host needs to find more such materials. The system will also help the host detect similar materials."
Hearing these words from the system, Yingzhou already had a headache. He never imagined that winning a grand prize would involve so many steps. Even if he wanted to fuse it now, he didn't have enough materials. He wondered if he would gain anything from fighting the Zerg on the front lines this time.
"Sigh, regardless, it did drop something. Even if I can't use it now, it's only a matter of time; no need to rush."
Yingzhou said these words to comfort himself, then closed his eyes to wait for the Transport Aircraft to reach its destination.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Yingzhou felt the Transport Aircraft begin to slow down and descend slowly, and he knew in his heart that he had arrived at the Thirteenth Legion.
Yingzhou opened his eyes and stretched his body. When he felt the landing sensation transmitted through the Transport Aircraft, the cabin door slowly opened, and Yingzhou saw quite a few soldiers wearing Individual Combat Armor standing outside.
These soldiers waiting at the landing site couldn't help but open their mouths wide beneath their masks when they saw a giant about 2.7 meters tall walking down from the Transport Aircraft.
Is this a height a normal person can reach? Isn't this too tall?
After Yingzhou walked off the Transport Aircraft, he saw a person wearing Individual Combat Armor walk up to him, remove their mask, look up, and extend their right hand to Yingzhou, saying, "I am Deputy Legion Commander Li Fan of the Thirteenth Legion. Let's have the soldiers unload the weapons and equipment from the Transport Aircraft first."
"Thirteenth Legion, Yingzhou."
Yingzhou gripped Li Fan's right hand with his broad palm. After the two shook hands, Li Fan arranged for the soldiers to unload the supplies and equipment, then led Yingzhou away. The two sat in a military truck; Yingzhou's current height meant he could only sit in the back of the truck. Fortunately, Li Fan also sat there with Yingzhou, and as the truck started, it began to drive away.
"Your equipment here is truly sufficient; every soldier is equipped with Individual Combat Armor," Yingzhou said casually, looking at the receding Transport Aircraft and the soldiers who were orderly moving supplies.
"Actually, except for your Thirteenth Legion, soldiers in other legions are equipped with Individual Combat Armor. This is also why some soldiers feel despair when they hear they are being transferred to the Thirteenth Legion. Which unit were you in before? How could you not know about this?" Seeing Yingzhou's clueless expression, Li Fan explained.
"Cough, cough, my first legion was the Thirteenth Legion, and I haven't really looked into the situation of other legions, so I was indeed a bit negligent."
Hearing Yingzhou's words, Li Fan looked at him thoughtfully and nodded, saying, "Then you must be quite capable to have become a Captain of a combat squad in the Thirteenth Legion under these conditions!"
Yingzhou smiled at Li Fan and said, "Not at all, I'm just a soldier with better luck. How is the fighting on the front lines now?"
"With this batch of ammunition, we should be able to hold on for a while longer. I don't know when these Zerg will stop their offensive and let us have a chance to catch our breath."
When Li Fan mentioned this, his brow furrowed with gravity. Yingzhou looked at Li Fan's expression and said in a serious tone.
"Counting on those Zerg to give us a chance to catch our breath is impossible! Handing the initiative to the Alien Race like this is no different from handing a knife to the opponent and expecting them to walk away with it."
