Chapter 40 Artificial Female
These days, Sang Luo goes to Alans College whenever he has time.
When Laertu heard that she came here with a big belly, he was so busy that he didn't even care about his official duties. He came down to entertain her personally, "The school has a rule that pregnant females can apply for leave of absence. You can rest assured to take care of the baby at home during this period. You don't need to come to school anymore. If you get hurt, my head won't be enough to compensate!"
"It's okay, I just came to take a look and will leave soon." She didn't really come here to study. Sang Luo hadn't read any of the books distributed by the school. She just wanted to come and see Lan Ruo.
Because of the relationship with Lan Cang, Sang Luo regarded him as half a younger brother in his heart.
Sang Luo caught a glimpse of an acquaintance walking towards them and waved with a smile.
Glenn Tuya came over and said to the principal, "Miss San Luo hasn't been to the college many times since she completed the admission procedures. I think she wants to get familiar with the place. I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll take her around the college."
"Okay, you follow a few teachers and accompany Guici to walk around the college. The forest behind the playground has beautiful scenery and many flowers are in bloom. Be careful not to fall or get hurt..." After Lartu gave a few instructions, a teacher came to call him and left in a hurry.
Sang Luo followed Glenn Tuya to the teaching building of the Combat Department. Seeing that Lan Ruo was concentrating on studying, he did not go over to disturb him and was about to leave.
Glenn Tuya blushed, touched his neck and said, "Um... do you want to go have dinner together?"
In just a few months, she became pregnant with the offspring of the king beast. This fertility was unique in the past hundred years in the Alans Empire. Sang Luo's name had spread long ago, and many wealthy young men in the empire were ready to make a move. Glenn Tuya was no exception, not to mention that he had a good impression of Sang Luo when she came to school for the test on the first day.
Sang Luo glanced at his arm. He was a seventh-level primary orc. He looked quite elegant and handsome, but unfortunately he was not strong enough and there was no need for him to develop further.
She was about to refuse, but then she remembered the empty refrigerator at home. She wanted to save as much as possible on the beast crystals she had, so she sighed and said, "You're treating me?"
Glenn Tuya smiled and said, "Of course I'll treat you."
"Okay, let's go. It's just that... this meal may cost you money."
"Haha, it doesn't cost any money, it's an honor."
Half an hour.
Glenn Tuya's hands began to tremble as he looked at the dozens of empty plates.
The female king beast is indeed extraordinary!
His salary is not enough to support him.
Completely gave up the idea of hooking up.
Sang Luo ate a few more beast crystals before she managed to burp. She smiled shyly at him and said, "Sorry, I'm pregnant and I ate too much. If I can't eat anymore, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"No, no, I promised to treat you, how can I go back on my word!" Glenn Tuya quickly stood up and said with a smile, "It is my honor to ask for a favor from Miss Sangluo. I will need your advice from the admiral in the future. And, I want to join the military department in the future."
"Okay, okay. I will persuade Caesar."
"Thank you so much!"
The two chatted and laughed as they left the restaurant. Sang Luo was just about to part ways with Glenn Tuya and teleport home when suddenly, he caught sight of a female and stopped in his tracks.
Across the street, there was a female who was thin, pale, looked a little malnourished, and had an ordinary appearance.
Logically speaking, Sang Luo would not notice her, but her expression was extremely dull, one could even say that she was a little...stupid?
The female was chewing a fruit in her hand, drooling from her mouth. The orc next to her wiped her saliva skillfully.
Sang Luo thought that this female had some mental problems, but soon, several more beastmen came with females. The male beasts were whispering to each other, raising... inspecting...
And all the females around them, without exception, are this stupid!
"What's up with those females? They don't look too healthy?"
Glenn Tuya also glanced over there, his expression suddenly becoming a little unpredictable, "These are... artificial females."
"What?" Sang Luo widened his eyes.
Glenn Tuya didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, but Sang Luo pressed him hard, so he had to stammer out some of the truth, "In recent years, the number of female births has been decreasing, and the ratio of females to males is even close to 20:1. The population has shown a serious negative growth. If this continues for a long time, the orcs may face extinction."
"So in this situation, some people have proposed the idea of artificial females to increase fertility rates."
"But these artificial genetic females do not possess innate powers. They are only used as tools for reproduction. Due to immature technology or other unknown factors, they usually have serious physical and mental defects..."
Glenn Tuya glanced across the street. "For example, the genetic females purchased by these male orcs are all the cheapest ones. Looking at them, they are a bit... ahem, stupid."
"These inferior artificial females usually don't live long. Due to their physical defects and constant pregnancy and childbirth, they can only live for 30 to 40 years at most. After the optimal breeding period, they will basically suffer from illness and be forced to be euthanized."
“……” Sang Luo stared blankly, unable to respond for a long time.
She frowned and said, "Cloning and breeding artificial females, do all continents do this?"
"No, the other three continents strictly prohibit research, and other continents do not attach importance to the development of science and technology. Many places are still in the barbaric period and do not have sufficient conditions to support this research. Only one academy of science in the Western Continent has retained the method of creating genetic females. The royal family passed a bill twenty years ago to establish the legitimacy of artificial females and sponsored the experiment with a large sum of money."
"Twenty years...how many genetic females are there now?"
"I don't know much about this. About a million artificial females have been put on the market. Other continents strictly prohibit this illegal product, so only the Western Continent has artificial females in circulation."
"That is to say, in the Western Continent, there will be one artificial female for every hundred females?"
The probability is not high yet, but the research has only started for twenty years. It is hard to say what the situation will be like in the long run.
Sang Luo was shocked by the number, but as an outsider she couldn't say anything. Perhaps this was a necessary transformation for the animal world to survive.
However, artificial females do not have any human rights or personality.
Simply a breathing reproductive tool.
"So are there any problems with the children they give birth to?"
“I’m not sure. The launch time is too short and there are not enough samples to support research data.”
The two continued to walk back, but Sang Luo felt a little unpredictable.
Someone suddenly called her.
"Lady, please stay."
