Lin Yan woke up to find himself inside an infinite-horror livestream game.
Among the dazzling array of powerful golden fingers, Lin Yan drew one at random
Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've bound the Child-Raising System and received the F-rank golden finger "Every Child Loves You!"
Former preschool teacher Lin Yan: "? Are you serious?"
In the desolate village merfolk world, other players were dodging the merfolk while Lin Yan was raising a child.
The beauty-loving little merfolk held up its chubby fish tail every day and asked him sweetly, "Is my tail pretty?"
Lin Yan's heart melted. "Pretty, pretty!"
He went off and found a pile of shells and pearls, giving the little merfolk a sparkling, upgraded, extra-glittery tail.
In the haunted ancient castle world, other players were carefully solving puzzles to clear the level while Lin Yan was raising a child.
The refined little vampire was a picky eater. Steak had to be rare, tomato juice had to taste bloody, and dessert had to be a human-brain cake.
Lin Yan gave it everything it wanted. "Is that enough, little one? If you're still hungry, eat more."
The little vampire's pointy chin filled out, and its chubby baby cheeks grew soft and adorable.
In the world under attack by dragons, other players were fleeing for their lives in terror while Lin Yan was still raising a child.
The lazy little dragon ate and slept all day, growing visibly too round and urgently in need of weight management.
Lin Yan tried every way he could think of to get it moving.
"Walk for ten minutes and earn a gold coin. Run for fifteen minutes and get a gemstone. Fly for twenty minutes and win a crystal!"
Before long, the little dragon's cave was piled high with gold and silver treasures.
There were also little demons, little zombies, little painted-skin monsters...
Lin Yan was completely lost in a paradise of adorable monsters, forgetting entirely that this was a horror game.
At first, nobody had any faith in Lin Yan.
Viewer A: "I bet he won't survive an hour."
Viewer B: "Such a handsome face, such terrible luck. What a shame."
Viewer C: "Taking care of kids in a horror game? Come on, give it up. This streamer is already done for!"
But once Lin Yan cleared one instance after another by raising children, the viewers in his livestream were all stunned!
Viewer A: "Y-you can clear it like that?"
Viewer B: "Do you still need another kid, Daddy? Would a 306-month-old kid do?"
Viewer C said nothing, just kept sending tips and pushing Lin Yan to the top of the leaderboard.
Lin Yan: "Thanks for asking. I'm a professional at raising kids. =v="
