Upon arriving at the Interstellar Beast God Matching Management Center, Gu Weilan was immediately greeted by a smiling male offering the utmost attentive service. He upgraded the storage capacity of her spatial bracelet free of charge, brought her a glass of freshly squeezed mango juice, and even knelt to offer the fingertip blood sampling device to her. However...
"Hon..." The male’s smile instantly lost its genuine warmth, replaced by a trace of pity. "...Honored female Gu Weilan, the collection of your identity, Beast Rank, and Fertility information is complete. The Beast God System will now accurately match you with suitable partners."
Gu Weilan opened her Light Brain, looking at her profile that was clearly displayed:
Gu Weilan. Female. Mole Clan. Beast Rank level: Fourth Rank. Attribute: Light Element (Rare). Born on ZG9527 Star. Orphan. Soon to enroll in the Central Beastman Academy.
Fertility: 1.
Gu Weilan asked in surprise, "Seeding, is this your doing? Did you change my Fertility?"
"Shh—don’t speak. I am changing it right now!" the system replied.
As soon as the system finished speaking, Gu Weilan watched in astonishment as her Fertility spiked to 10 for three whole seconds! No way—wasn’t this basically marriage fraud? This didn’t seem right!
"Huh?" The male tapped open the transparent digital panel in surprise, carefully examining the information displayed on it.
Gu Weilan frantically called out to the system in her mind, "Oh my god... Your cheating got discovered! What do we do?"
Pomegranate Seed sounded extremely offended. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The male assisting Gu Weilan couldn’t hide his astonishment. "To the female Gu Weilan, there are twelve males matched with you, and the lowest Beast Rank among them is the Sixth Rank."
Gu Weilan looked at the male guide in confusion. The male guide smiled and explained, "The system shows that you advanced from the Second Rank to the Fourth Rank within a single month, which proves your potential is excellent. Furthermore, it detected that your Beast Rank attribute is the rare Light Element. Therefore, the matches provided for the Weilan Female are all High-level males."
Gu Weilan nodded, then waved her hand. "Could you just send me the electronic explanation guide? I’m in a bit of a hurry... I’m really sorry."
The male shook his head to show he didn’t mind, immediately sent her the digital presentation slides, and saw her out.
Standing under the sun, Gu Weilan absorbed the abundant sunlight before opening her Light Brain to check her matches.
A matched male with a cartoon ape profile picture instantly sent a message: "Ah—hello to the female Gu Weilan! Is there a display error with your Fertility?"
Gu Weilan glanced at his profile: Black Ape Clan, beast form is a dark-colored ape, Name: Xuanshuo, Beast Rank level: Ninth Rank, Attribute: Metal, Fertility: 7.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Host! Take him down!" the system urged.
"No, wait a minute. Didn’t you notice that he really minds my Fertility score?" she argued in her mind.
"Isn’t he good-looking? He has those almond-shaped eyes, and the way he looks at people has that innocent, manipulative vibe. Do you really not like that, Host?
"Look at his straight nasal bridge, which means... you know what it means, Host! And look at his petal-like lips! Plus, that tongue he likes to flick around! Are you telling me you don’t like it? Host! Touch your conscience and tell me!"
Gu Weilan sucked in a breath and thought, "Well, I shouldn’t be too hypocritical and pretend to be high and mighty. I admit, it is my type..."
The system played a short video clip in her mind. A woman in the video declared, "I must have you! If I can’t have you, I’ll snatch you! If I can’t snatch you, I’ll steal you! I don’t care if you like me or not! Where there’s a will, there’s a way!"
Gu Weilan found a lounge chair and lay flat to let her entire body bask in the sunlight before finally replying to Xuanshuo: "My Fertility display is indeed having some issues."
Gu Weilan then said to the system, "This doesn’t count as lying, right? The original Fertility of this body was 0.1! Now it shows 1, and you even changed it to 10 earlier! Saying there’s a display issue is perfectly accurate, right?"
"Perfectly accurate! However, Host, the issue with your Fertility changed after your Beast Rank leveled up. It’s unclear whether it will change again when you level up in the future. Fertility is actually an index evaluating the genetic flaws of a Beastman. The higher the score, the fewer the flaws. The lower the score, the more likely they are to give birth to sick cubs that are prone to premature death!"
Gu Weilan understood. But for some reason, Xuanshuo had disappeared to do something else and didn’t reply to her message again.
Meanwhile, inside a luxurious manor in the East District, a male with long black hair stared at the trusted aide who had just walked in. His yellow-green eyes were sharp, and his brows were tightly furrowed. "Well? Did you find that female?"
The trusted aide shook his head. "Junior Priest, the surveillance in that area for that day was entirely disrupted by electromagnetic waves. A Second Rank Light Element female... although rare, there were at least eight to ten thousand of them on the ZG9522 Star that day. We are currently cross-referencing their movement trajectories and are still conducting our investigation."
The Junior Priest rubbed his temples and added, "She smelled like she had been sunbathing, so she should belong to a clan that loves the sun. Speed up the cross-referencing! I can’t believe it’s taking this long to find one female!"
Just as the Junior Priest resolved to devoutly become her Beast Husband, intending to pour all his resources into elevating her to become the most powerful female, he heard his Light Brain ping.
A notification popped up: "Respected awakened male Mo Jincuan, the Beast God System has matched you with your most compatible Female Master, Gu Weilan. The Beast God System has automatically added you as friends, allowing you to view each other’s information. As per the regulations, you must go on three dates with her within the next six months.
"If the Female Master is dissatisfied with you after your interactions, she can apply to dissolve the match. If you forcibly apply to reject the match, you will be fined five million star coins and forbidden from matching with any female for ten years."
Mo Jincuan’s narrow, peach-blossom eyes widened slightly. "How is this possible? I’m at the Tenth Rank Beast Rank! How could I possibly be matched with a Fourth Rank female whose Fertility is 1!"
The trusted aide pursed his lips but still felt obligated to remind him. "Junior Priest, you were ambushed, and your strength has now dropped to the Sixth Rank. Otherwise, a Fourth Rank female wouldn’t be able to soothe you with her spiritual power. However, considering your Fertility is 8, this match... does indeed seem a bit strange..."
Mo Jincuan was extremely resistant to the idea. "These laws and regulations are truly detestable! Why must a male meet his matched female three times? I already have a Female Master in my heart!"
The trusted aide frowned, bracing himself as he tried to persuade his superior. "Junior Priest, why don’t you try meeting this matched female three times and let her attempt to heal you? Your Beast Rank only dropped because your mind was severely polluted! I see that this female is also a Light Element female... Wait a minute.
"Doesn’t the Mole Clan prefer the dark? Wouldn’t a Mole Clan member go into shock when exposed to ultraviolet rays? How could this female have the Light Element..."
Mo Jincuan waved his hand dismissively. "I don’t care about any other females! I only care about the female I’ve set my heart on!"
The trusted aide suggested, "You could consider interacting with this female. Light Element females like her might have their own private social circles. Perhaps the female Gu Weilan knows the female you are looking for?"
Mo Jincuan pursed his lips. "She isn’t even a Beastman from the ZG9522 Star. She only came to this planet for school. I doubt she knows many females here. Go find some males who have experience with broken engagements. Ask them what kind of terms I need to offer to make a female actively dissolve the match!"
