Chapter 144: Extra 10
Even in game, Admiral Gu doesn't even want to be an omega, so he chooses his game gender to be female beta.
[Please select the difficulty of the game:
1. Easy 2. Difficult 3. Nightmare]
How hard could a game be? Since he wanted to use the game to draw closer to his juniors, he might as well pick the hardest mode, so that when he said it out loud the kids would also look at him with admiration.
Thinking of this, Admiral Gu did not hesitate to choose Nightmare Mode.
"The game is about to start, your task is to safely pass the nine months in the game, that is, nine days in reality, I wish you a happy game ~"
Before Admiral Gu opened his eyes, a sense of weakness flooded his entire body, as if he was lying in an ice cave, his body was cold.
[Name: Mrs. X (players may change their surnames)
Age: 27
Gender: beta female
Health: 5 (below 1 results in character death)
Stamina: 5 (below 1 causes the character to pass out and increases the stress value)
Stress value: 8 (reaching 10 will result in character death)]
The attribute panel appeared in front of Admiral Gu, simple and clear, it looked like a survival game, and Admiral Gu was ready to gather supplies to avoid and even kill enemies as soon as he opened his eyes.
"I've changed my last name, Gu.
"Wake up, mom called you to the kitchen, why don't you get up?" His shoulder was shoved by someone with dissatisfaction, and Admiral Gu's body was so weak that it seemed to shake his soul out of his shell, making him dizzy and nauseous, and the feeling of nausea couldn't be contained from his stomach.
For the first two seconds after he opened his eyes, the world as far as the eye could see was blackened, as if many small black dots were densely covered in people and objects, and the person he saw on his pillow was a tall, robust alpha who grumbled while looking at his photobrain, "Are you a pig? You're such a good sleeper, and it's been a long afternoon."
Admiral Gu sat up with great effort and rubbed his temples, hearing that the alpha with the name of "husband" kept accusing himself, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Unbridled, who does he think he's talking to?
"Xiao Gu, why aren't you up yet? You're a daughter-in-law, how can you sleep at home on New Year's Eve?" A middle-aged female beta pushed open the door to the room, there was a strong smell of raw meat on her that made Admiral Gu frown straight away, "You're teaching me things?"
The NPC bearing the name "Granny" raised her voice and said, "Xiao Gu! What do you mean by that? Do you have something against me? Look at you now, you had a miscarriage and couldn't keep the baby, but now you don't clean the house, you don't cook, what's the point of our old Gu family raising this hen that can't lay eggs? I haven't even gotten upset with you yet, but you're making faces at me instead!"
The chattering accusations and the smell of raw meat were so disgusting that they didn't match, and General Gu pressed his hand against his chest as he tried to hold back his desire to vomit, but that mother-in-law was more and more relentless, standing directly in front of General Gu and trying to drag him off the bed like a chicken.
If it was in reality, the old and strong Admiral Gu could kick this NPC off, but his body in the game even struggled to get up, and his arm was so thin that it could be held by one hand of the evil woman, and Admiral Gu unexpectedly couldn't break free for a while.
"Good ah you, even touch all I do not let me touch you, but also cover the mouth for what, think I am dirty body is not it?!"
The smell of raw meat that could be smelled from five meters away was like a biochemical weapon coming towards Admiral Gu, the tough willpower of Admiral Gu, who had been through a hundred battles, was like a mantis blocking a car in front of a mountain of vomiting desire, unbearable, he couldn't help it and didn't want to hold it back, and he directly puked out soundly on this NPC.
"Ah ah ah ah--!!!" The mother-in-law, who was splattered with vomit, covered her mouth and ran out, and the husband, who had been listening to his wife's lectures on the bed as if he were a dead pig, also shied away from Admiral Gu, leaving Admiral Gu alone to sit helplessly on the ground after vomiting out everything he could out of this body.
He was still weak after throwing up, but his mental state was much better, and before Admiral Gu could catch his breath, a pot of cold water fell from the sky-
It splashed down on him!
There was also a vegetable leaf stuck to the top of Admiral Gu's head!
The time of year in the game was winter, the house was air-conditioned, but the door to the room was open, the interior was colder, and a basin of cold water splashed on the body cooled to the point where Admiral Gu's back teeth shivered.
The NPC who splashed all the dishwashing water on her daughter-in-law covered her mouth and nose in disgust, "Sober? I think you're really crazy today, aren't you? You even intentionally spit on me! How could there be such a vicious and uneducated money-loser like you! You don't even know to find a place to vomit, and you've made my clothes and home dirty, later on the clothes and the ground will want you to-" she stopped in mid-sentence.
Because the water-dampened "woman" stared straight at her, her eyes were like wild beasts that wanted to devour people, and even her weak body couldn't hide the great threat.
The next second, Admiral Gu stood up from the wet floor with incredible dexterity, grabbed one of the npc's arms, and before the other party reacted, he used all his strength to turn the opponent's arm, like a ghost around the opponent's back, and fiercely lifted his leg with his knee on the woman's thick back, and then he pressed downward, and the npc fell down to the ground with a wail, but how could he not break free of Admiral Gu's Binding.
Gu Shang would knock out the constantly struggling NPC with a hand slash and found himself sweating, this body was really weak to the point that he couldn't believe it.
Is the enemy of this game these two NPCs? Then it does seem a bit difficult to counter-kill with this body.
"What the fuck are you doing! You crazy woman you actually dare to lay hands on my mom!!!" The husband became furious when he saw what Admiral Gu was doing and rushed up without any rules and beat up on Admiral Gu.
The alpha's strength was much greater than the beta, General Gu knew very well that once this body of his was hit hard it would be hard to fight back, so General Gu quickly dodged, he avoided this alpha's attack and then quickly climbed onto the bed and covered this man with the quilt.
The quilt obscured his vision, and for a moment the man's hands fumbled like a caterpillar entangled in a spider's web.
Admiral Gu seized this precious moment to pick up the mirror on the nightstand, and he quickly broke it, obtaining sharp shards of mirror.
At this moment, the husband happened to break free from the quilt, Admiral Gu jumped from the edge of the bed onto this alpha, his two slender legs clamped down hard on the other's waist, before this alpha could react to what was happening, Admiral Gu raised the mirror fragment high, the edge of the lens was so sharp that it cut through Admiral Gu's palm, with a cold face, he didn't hesitate to stab the mirror into this NPC's carotid artery! on!
In an instant, bright red hot blood spurted out, splashing Admiral Gu's face.
He left in one blow, not going to look at the woeful appearance of the NPC as he fell to the ground and wailed, but instead hunched over to cover the small of his back.
Perhaps too consumed by the two battles he had just fought, his stomach suddenly ached terribly, and before Admiral Gu could check his attribute box to see what had happened, a sinuous stream of blood lowered down his thigh, warm and repeatedly rinsed, granting the only warmth to this icy body of his.
The world as far as the eye could see turned black and white, only the red that kept flowing out of his lower body was blinding, Admiral Gu lost control of the game character's body, and he watched as the woman collapsed to the ground, muttering insanely, "My child, my child ......".
[Unfortunately, player "Mrs. Koo" had a miscarriage and the game failed.]
"I'm pregnant? Is this a birth control game?
Admiral Gu looked expressionlessly at the game box that popped up:
[Does it restart the game?
1. Yes 2. No]
He didn't like the feeling of failing the game, at first it was just that he had gotten the wrong idea, and he was sure he could get through it again.
[The game restarts! Have a nice life~]
"Quickly wake up, mom called you to play in the kitchen, why don't you get up?" The familiar voice rang in his ears, Admiral Gu opened his eyes, not wanting to listen to that husband counting him out, he got up dizzily and walked out of the room, seeing his mother-in-law who happened to walk out from the kitchen room.
"Yo, our Missy is finally willing to get up?" This NPC said conspiratorially, "I thought you needed me to wait on you to get up."
Admiral Gu didn't say anything, he was so tired right now that he didn't have much energy to even stand, and he didn't want to waste any energy on this NPC at all.
He threw out the biggie in an old-fashioned way to the sound of this NPC's constant counting, "I'm pregnant."
From the information revealed by the last handful of NPCs, part of this body's low status in the family was that it couldn't give birth to a child, so all he had to do was to inform this NPC that he was pregnant, and the other party should be able to stop, right?
My mother-in-law was really surprised, "You checked with a pregnancy test?"
Admiral Gu: "Not yet, but I have experience." Another handful of experience from the last game.
"It's also true that you've been looking bad every day for the past few days, and you've been sleeping a lot, so I thought you weren't right, and thought you were sick, but it turns out you're pregnant!" Granny flipped out the pregnancy test stick and gave it to General Gu, "Go take a test!"
Admiral Gu took the pregnancy test and went to the bathroom, where he looked at his "self" in the mirror, a very thin female beta with a pretty face, pale and gaunt to the point where his cheeks seemed to be concave.
But given the circumstances in which "she" was placed, this seems normal.
This family really treats their daughter-in-law too badly, and that mother-in-law's comment just now is obviously knowing that her daughter-in-law is not feeling well, but still letting her daughter-in-law go and cook for her son who is as healthy as an ox ......
Admiral Gu froze for a moment, he suddenly felt that this scene was déjà vu.
Once he also asked Li Songyun, who had a fever, to cook for Gu Mian.
No, no, no, it's not the same. He gave Li Songyun a choice, and he won't push Li Songyun if he really won't do it.
Admiral Gu handed the pregnancy test stick to his mother-in-law, who looked at the two bars on the test stick and was so happy that she couldn't stop talking, "I've been looking forward to Xing Xing and the moon, but I'm finally expecting a good grandson from our old Gu family!"
"Haohao, you're going to be a father!" She ran to her son in the room to report the good news, and kept praising her son's ability, treating this "daughter-in-law" as an outsider.
However, Admiral Gu did not consider himself as a member of this family, he found a chair in the kitchen room and sat down intending to take a break, the faint greasy smell coming from the tabletop caused his stomach to turn over, having already vomited once, Admiral Gu had experience, and he immediately found the trash can and hugged it and vomited into the □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□.
"Hiss-" my mother-in-law smelled it as she came out of her room, and she complained, "How come you didn't throw up before, and then as soon as you tested yourself pregnant you threw up on it? I'm telling you, don't think that just because you're pregnant that you can stop doing housework."
Admiral Gu, who had managed to finish throwing up, opened her eyes incredulously, "I'm pregnant, I need to rest."
"What's wrong with being pregnant? How big a deal is it, everyone comes through it, you're the only one who's petulant, look at how pretentious you are." Granny pinched her nose with one hand and fanned herself with the other, "Wait until you empty the garbage cans for me yourself, then come back and cook the New Year's Eve dinner with me ......"
Admiral Koo's fists hardened.
He, Gu Hua Zhang, had never wasted time on these meaningless chores since he was born, making him do them was impossible!
[You helped make the New Year's Eve dinner, Stamina-1, you cleaned Gu's house, Stamina-1, you washed dirty laundry, Stamina-1]
Admiral Gu chose a tactical compromise because his "husband" had a tendency towards domestic violence, and if he did get into a fight with the NPC, he would have more to lose than to do his chores.
There is no shame in temporarily bowing down, results are everything.
With only 2 stamina left, Admiral Gu was finally able to take a break, he rarely did housework, and when he did, he was always criticized here and there by his mother-in-law, what "doing some housework is exhausting for who?", "pregnancy specially for me to pretend to be clumsy, is not it". ......
Once upon a time, Admiral Gu had never found housework tiring, believing that what was really tiring was when he and Gu Mian went out to work, while Li Songyun was just enjoying himself at home all day long, but now Admiral Gu's skinny body was really almost crushed by housework.
One more chore and his Stamina will drop right down to 1. A Stamina of 1 puts the character into a coma and adds 1 point to his Stress level, which is now 8. 2 more points of Stress and the game can be over again.
While he was working so hard on the housework, that husband was lounging in bed, enjoying the fruit plate brought to his bedside, as if he was the one who was pregnant.
If he didn't know that this was a mass of data, Admiral Gu really wanted to question whether the other party was still human.
The game character goes to bed and falls asleep, the process of falling asleep is fast-forwarded directly by the game, and in just one second, the moon outside the house changes to transform into the sun, and with his eyes open and closed, Admiral Gu sees his stamina return from 2 to 5.
He was yelled up by his mother-in-law to make breakfast for the family, and his strength dropped to 4 again, followed by his husband accompanying him to the hospital for labor and delivery.
The whole time this husband couldn't help much, and was as good as dead, he could only rely on General Gu to work on his own, thus another 1 point was deducted from his stamina value.
"You've been pregnant for a month, the sacs and buds are in good condition, but you have your own anemia and mild malnutrition ......" The doctor prescribed many medicines for Gu Shangguan and urged her to take care of her body, eat more and exercise more.
No wonder this body has a health of only 5.
Admiral Gu decided that he would go back and work out more, with his years of training experience, along with the medically prescribed medication, he should have no problem getting this body's health up to 8.
When Admiral Gu finished enduring the pain of motion sickness, the first thing he did was lie down on the bed to rest.
My mother-in-law took the pregnancy test report and flipped through it again and again, a big smile on her face, "Good, good, good! It's good that the baby is fine! Xiao Gu, you need to eat more, if you don't have nutrition, my grandson's nutrition won't be able to keep up."
Speaking of the word grandson, the smile on her face became even brighter, "Oooh, let grandma touch my good grandson yo~" Those hands that always had a lingering raw pork touched the small of Gu Shangguan's abdomen, causing the closed-eyed Gu Shangguan to get goosebumps as he took a deep breath to suppress the nausea he felt in his stomach.
Admiral Gu is really too tired, every part of his body is sore and weak, even his chest is sore and hard to endure, now he just wants to take another nap to replenish his strength, and just begs this NPC to hurry up and leave after making a noise, this kind of attitude of resting on one's laurels is almost impossible for Admiral Gu to appear in reality.
Yet the NPCs in Nightmare Mode still refused to leave him alone.
Those hands grabbed Admiral Gu from the bed, "Xiao Gu, don't sleep, today you and I will go to the temple to return the wish, you know that you can get pregnant all because of me sincerely begging the Bodhisattva for so many years!"
With his head about to explode, Admiral Gu coldly opened his eyes and said, "I'm tired, I'll go back after a nap."
"Look at what time it is! It'll be dark by the time you wake up!" As if she didn't understand human language, the mother-in-law insisted on yanking General Gu out of bed.
It's not true! Unbelievable! It's too much of a bully!
Is he, a general of a country, really going to be at the mercy of this crazy bitch?
[You accompany your mother-in-law to the mountain to return a wish. Strength-1]
Admiral Gu decided to look at the big picture and hold on for a bit longer, and on the way back, Admiral Gu opened the attribute box to blue his last two points of stamina value.
In the evening he had to do at least three things - make dinner, clean the house, and do the laundry - and he only had two points of stamina left, and physical exhaustion was going to lead to a coma.
Admiral Koo doesn't want to, and won't, put himself in this position, and he chooses to ......
Spiking the Gu family's meals with sleeping pills.
The potion was bought when he went to the hospital today, that husband never noticed what he bought from the beginning to the end of the day, and ate the most food instead.
General Gu coldly watched this family pass out at the dinner table, he then tied up all the hands and feet of this group of people for insurance purposes, and then locked them in the bathroom, then General Gu used a special means to transfer the money in these people's accounts to his card, and after disguising himself, he simply left the house.
This family of scum he Gu Hua Zhang not serve! Anyway, the game only requires the player to not die before giving birth to a child, he took the money and the child to a different place to continue to live is not a free and painful?
Admiral Gu smiles for the first time since the game as he gets into the car, feeling a rare sense of relief, when he suddenly realizes that the look on his face at the window is very similar to that of Li Songyun's, or rather, it's almost exactly the same: the relief of having escaped from the world, and the loathing of the past that he has no regrets about.
So the smile that had managed to surface on Admiral Gu's face suddenly froze.
When he sees things from Li Songyun's perspective, even though he hates to admit it, he has to admit that the role he plays in Li Songyun's married life is the role of the evil mother-in-law that he hates the most and is the most disgusting in this game.
He'd only spent less than a day with the character in the real world.
Li Songyun, on the other hand, has been facing him for twenty-six full years.
*
In the nine days that passed in the real world, Admiral Gu experienced nine months in the game world.
He chose to raise the baby in the slums, every day to all kinds of pregnancy reaction torment, first of all is pregnancy vomiting, his body pregnancy vomiting is very serious, when hungry want to vomit, when eating want to vomit, eat full still want to vomit, any flavor will arouse his vomiting desire, walking will vomit lying down will vomit, sleep halfway still can be want to vomit desire to wake up, and at this time he will not be replenished by his sleep physical strength.
This body is deficient in calcium, so cramps are particularly frequent during pregnancy, and with no one to help the admiral pinch the cramped part, he is left alone to wrench the buckled cramped part back into place.
He moved into the slum's Green Street and insisted on exercising and relaxing every day, raising his health value to 8 and lowering his stress value to 3 as he wished, he had to get well, or else when the time came that he was the only one in the house and didn't have a strong body, a body and two lives were not a joke.
When he was six or seven months pregnant, the fetus in Gu Shanggong's body was not in the basin, and the fetus's feet were against his stomach, making his stomach difficult at all times, and at this time, going on the game was a kind of torment every moment, boring and painful, with no fun to speak of, and as long as he got out of the game, and did nothing in real life, it was much more comfortable than going on the game.
But Admiral Gu still took four or five hours out of his day to experience the game, and his original reason for sticking with the game was no longer just to have a common language with the kids; an unnamed guilt weighed heavily on his mind.
He thought of Li Songyun, who had gone through four pregnancies, and of his daughter-in-law, who had never received much care from the Gu family.
That kid is really struggling ......
But why, once upon a time, did he never care for that child?
On the eighth day of the game, Admiral Gu's body had been experiencing difficulty sleeping in the game for two months, the presence of the child prevented him from entering deep sleep, normally he could increase his stamina value by 3 points by sleeping in the game, and when he was eight months pregnant his in-game character could only increase his stamina by 2 points every time he rested.
Finally reaching his due date, Admiral Gu found a black market doctor to help him deliver his baby, and before he was given a painless shot, he experienced the legendary paroxysm of pain, like a blender working frantically in his stomach, and like millions of nails sticking hard into his bones and blood, and then being pulled out in blood, only to leave behind a wail of pain from each and every cell in his torso.
Admiral Gu considered himself to be an alpha with a strong ability to endure pain, he had never bled or sweated without tears when leading his soldiers into battle, but he didn't know if this pregnancy was too painful or if this body was pain-prone, Admiral Gu's mind was so confused by the pain that he was about to have a nervous breakdown when the painlessness finally struck his body.
At this moment, he seemed to see heaven and hear sacred music--
Congratulations to player "Mrs. Gu" for passing the game! You are a brave woman, and congratulations on overcoming the pain of pregnancy in the game! But in reality, the journey didn't end there.
Pregnancy is hard work, and expectant mothers don't just have to endure the pain of carrying and giving birth in October, they also have to go through the even longer and more agonizing pain of postpartum:
Postpartum contractions, urinary and fecal incontinence, bad diarrhea, low back pain, physiological milk rises, postpartum depression ......
So make sure you love your mom (little dad) and love your wife, they are so great and they need to love and be loved so much]

When the Tang Bai-produced game was officially released, the game's promotional comments section created a bloody discussion.
Some people clapped their hands, but also hope that this game can be implemented nationwide, dating sisters can see each other in this game rank ranking, or as a pre-marriage must experience the game, so that each other better understand the partner's future to pay.
Some people think that the game is pointless, that it is childish and boring and a waste of time and resources to have an alpha or male beta experience pregnancy, and that this pain should not be borne by them.
Still more people said that only fools and masochists would play this game, and that it would be the worst selling, most unloved piece of garbage game ever made.
Then when Tang Bai announced that he would be rewarding the first player to pass the Easy, Hard, and Nightmare modes with a low-level mech, an intermediate mech, and a high-level mech, the game hit 10 million downloads in ten minutes, and the number of downloads is growing frantically every second.
Countless alpha moms have come online, screaming "no mommy A, no mommy A" while saying "mommy loves you" to Baby in the game.
The configuration of the simple mode is a good husband, a good father-in-law, a good mother-in-law, a good pro-dad, a good pro-mom ...... All the NPCs you meet are good people, when you go out and take the car there will definitely be someone to give up their seat, the most suffering you have suffered during pregnancy is the third trimester pregnancy sickness, back pain cramps and other minor problems, and the biggest suffering you have suffered is the pain of labor.
Difficulty configurations are related to various factors, for example, when the player chooses the gender as omega, they may experience the absence of their husband in the difficult mode, not being able to get soothing and pheromone injections from their partner during the pregnancy, and they may also encounter the extreme in-laws or the family of origin, and if the player chooses the gender as beta, they need to go to work when they are pregnant, and they will be treated badly in the workplace and so on, but regardless of whether the player chooses omega or beta, the various uncomfortable reactions to their pregnancy will be doubly intense than what they feel in the easy mode.
And when it came to the hard mode level, people were saying it was impossible for anyone to get through the hard mode, and one of the players who was closest to the dawn of victory was in the labor room, thinking he could welcome relief if he endured one more day, but his husband wouldn't give him a painless shot.
Eventually this player took the plunge and opened the window and jumped when he only had to hold on for another half hour to clear the level.
Tang Bai said that a beta player has cleared Nightmare Mode, and that the beta player's guide will be released after Nightmare Mode is actually cleared.
The crowd of players wailed and screamed that they wanted to know who that inner player was, and they truly praised the inner player who had cleared Nightmare Mode for how great and how difficult it was, and also expressed how powerful the first player who cleared Easy Mode was, until at this time, someone said weakly, "But that's something that almost every omega who has given birth to a child and a female beta has to go through the pain ah."
And so the blow-by-blow comments suddenly fell into dead silence.
