System Task: Have many children

In the early morning sunlight, Zhang Lin slowly opened his eyes and looked around with some confusion. “This doesn’t seem to be my room…” As he was about to get up, he realized his right hand was being held by someone. Turning his head, he saw that the woman holding his hand was none other than Bai Jie, the landlord! “What’s going on?!” Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment and began to recall the events. Ten days ago, Zhang Lin had arrived in the capital city with his admission letter, planning to tour for a few days before enrolling at Qingbei University. Due to his mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, he didn't want to stay in the dorms. So, after two days of searching, he found Shuxiang Yayuan, a place just over half an hour by car from Qingbei University. The convenient location, coupled with its nice environment and nearby amenities like a small supermarket, café, and gym, made it an ideal choice. Zhang Lin signed a two-year lease with Bai Jie, paying three months' deposit and agreeing to monthly rent payments by the 10th. After securing the rental, Zhang Lin started his sightseeing tour, visiting places like Badaling, the Forbidden City, and Gongzhu Fen. Last night, after visiting his final tourist spot, he had planned to unwind at a music bar downstairs. There, he encountered Bai Jie, who was drinking alone. She invited him to join her, and as the night went on, they both ended up drinking too much. Zhang Lin vaguely remembered helping Bai Jie into the elevator and unlocking the door, but the rest of the night was a blur. Now, Bai Jie was still asleep, her delicate profile facing Zhang Lin, her long lashes fluttering slightly. Her skin was fair, her waist slim, and she curled up like a baby, holding Zhang Lin's right hand. To be honest, despite Bai Jie no longer being a young woman, she was well-maintained with delicate skin, refined features, and a perfect figure. Zhang Lin felt he hadn’t lost out, regardless of what happened last night. Smiling slightly, Zhang Lin was about to gently pull his hand away when he heard the system’s notification in his mind. “Ding! Host has awakened. The Branching Destinies System is binding.” “Branching Destinies?” Zhang Lin was somewhat surprised. The system continued, “Yes, Host. The Branching Destinies System.” “Host only needs to sow seeds and bear fruit to receive various rewards. Rewards are usually small during the sowing phase, but significant when the fruit is ripe.” “Rewards include, but are not limited to, funds, luxury cars, advanced technology, and physical skills.” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving the beginner reward: Exceptional Talent!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving the beginner reward: Enhanced Physique!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving the beginner reward: 10 million soft sister coins!” “Ding! Host has sown seeds once and received a reward: a brand-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan, parked in the basement. The key is in the Host’s room…” Hearing the series of notifications, Zhang Lin felt his body had already changed. Previously, standing at 185 cm and weighing 75 kg with a somewhat slim build, he now felt his body was filled with strength, with much fuller muscle definition and abs as defined as a washboard… At that moment, his phone suddenly beeped with a text message. As Zhang Lin reached for his phone, Bai Jie groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She then let out a shriek but immediately covered her mouth, staring at Zhang Lin in shock. Seeing this, Zhang Lin shook his head with a wry smile. “Landlady, you were the one who invited me for drinks last night!” Bai Jie didn’t speak but continued to cover her mouth, watching Zhang Lin warily. Zhang Lin decided to get dressed and leave. Today was the day for new student registration at Qingbei University, so Zhang Lin planned to go to school and didn’t intend to stay with Bai Jie. After all, the situation had been too sudden, and both needed time to process and adjust. Staying might only lead to misunderstandings and awkwardness, so he figured it was better to focus on his own matters first and discuss things with Bai Jie later when she was ready. Back in his room, Zhang Lin changed clothes, took his admission letter, ID, and other materials, and was about to head out when he noticed the Cullinan car key hanging above the shoe rack. After some thought, he decided to take the bus to school. After all, it was the first day of registration, and arriving in a multi-million-dollar luxury car might be a bit too showy. So, Zhang Lin went downstairs, exited the building, and waited a few minutes at the bus stop before boarding Bus No. 6, heading towards Qingbei University amidst the crowd of elderly passengers. After Zhang Lin left, Bai Jie was alone in the room. At this moment, Bai Jie was trying hard to recall what happened the previous night, and soon her face turned red, blooming like a peach blossom. She touched her burning cheeks and sighed deeply, "Bai Jie, Bai Jie, how could you be so foolish..." To be honest, Bai Jie was not a casual woman. Although she had millions in assets and had been divorced for several years, she had never been reckless. When she was in a bad mood before, she would only drink a bit in the bar downstairs and then go home to continue supervising Yingzi’s studies. These past few days, since Yingzi was on a trip with her father, Bai Jie had let herself indulge a little and drank a few more glasses. But this drinking somehow led her to bring her tenant into her room?! "*Hic*—" After suddenly hiccuping, Bai Jie frowned and quickly fanned the air, but Zhang Lin's image still involuntarily surfaced in her mind. To be honest, Zhang Lin, with his sunny disposition, handsome looks, and tall stature, was indeed quite impressive! His strong arms and chiseled abs... If she were seventeen or eighteen, she might have actively pursued Zhang Lin. But now, with her daughter Qiao Yingzi almost ready to enter college, it was really hard to accept that she had gotten involved with Zhang Lin! How would she face Zhang Lin and Yingzi in the future? "Sigh..." Another sigh followed, and Bai Jie frustratedly patted her head, "Forget it, I should find a chance to talk to Zhang Lin properly later. I really can't drink anymore..." ... While Bai Jie was self-reflecting at home, Zhang Lin struggled to weave through the elderly people and finally got out of the car. He looked up at the entrance of Qingbei University not far away, wiped the sweat off his face, and then walked towards the main entrance. Today was the new student registration day. The Qingbei campus was bustling with people and traffic. Not far ahead, there was a traffic jam, and Zhang Lin could only proceed slowly with the crowd. One had to say, Qingbei was indeed Qingbei. Although there was congestion ahead, the people and vehicles were moving orderly, and almost all vehicles followed the "no honking in the campus" rule, moving slowly behind the pedestrians. However, with so many cars, both the "**" (Wolong, "Sleeping Dragon") and "**" (Fengchu, "Young Phoenix") appeared naturally. Just as Zhang Lin had praised the quality of the drivers behind him, a white Porsche began honking wildly, driving in the wrong direction and zooming past Zhang Lin, forcing the car on the left side to stop! Soon after, another yellow Ferrari took over the left lane, once again forcing the car on the left to stop. Seeing that the left car did not give way and the crowd was large, the Ferrari driver directly honked the horn, "*Beep beep beep beep beep!" "Shut up!" "How are you driving?! Driving in the wrong direction is illegal!" "Why are you honking?! Don't you know honking is prohibited on campus?!" The loud horn soon provoked public anger. People turned and scolded the Ferrari driver, but the Ferrari driver lowered the window and gave everyone the middle finger. This action almost incited a riot. The driver of the left car, seeing this, did not want to waste time and could only reluctantly move back a little to give way to the Ferrari. Then, the Ferrari roared away amidst the crowd’s curses... The registration process took more than three hours. After confirming his department and class and paying the tuition, Zhang Lin added his tutor, Pan Yu, on WeChat. Pan Yu? The name sounded a bit familiar. It seemed there was a female teacher named Pan Yu in the TV drama "Youth Era," who was tall, had delicate features, and long hair. However, Pan Yu’s current profile picture was a cartoon cat, and her moments were not yet open, so Zhang Lin couldn’t determine Pan Yu’s real identity. After sending his registration and identity information to Pan Yu, Zhang Lin was added to a WeChat group named “Class 5, Department of Electronics, 3231 Year.” Then, Pan Yu posted in the group: “Students who have registered today, please gather in Room 3 by 2 PM. We’ll get to know each other in advance and there are some tasks that need your help.” After reading the message, Zhang Lin replied "Received," and then headed towards the school cafeteria. Around 1 PM, Zhang Lin arrived at Room 3 and saw a white Porsche parked directly outside the classroom door. After checking the license plate, Zhang Lin shook his head in disbelief. This was indeed the same "**" (Wolong) from the morning. Thinking that he would have to be classmates with this "Wolong" for the next four years, Zhang Lin felt a bit overwhelmed. When Zhang Lin stepped into the classroom, his appearance caused a small stir. Although he was wearing a loose T-shirt and casual pants, his short, stylish haircut and tall figure immediately caught the attention of several girls. One girl in a JK uniform, with light makeup and an appearance rating around 8 points, exclaimed, “Wow, what a handsome guy!” “Handsome?” Hearing this girl’s words, a boy next to her wearing a CK logo turned to look at Zhang Lin, first with surprise and then with a sense of threat from Zhang Lin. The girl he had been chatting with had ignored him, but Zhang Lin’s appearance instantly attracted her attention. So, the CK guy immediately took out the Porsche key from his pocket, spun it on his finger, and then pretended to be disdainful, saying, “Handsome? Heh, can being handsome drive a Porsche?”
