Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

Lin Yuan came with an elderly man and woman, their hair peppered with white.

Seemingly aware of Sally's gaze, Lin Yuan looked up towards the balcony where she was.

It was getting dark now, but the leopard's eyesight was good; from eight floors up, he could clearly see Sally on the balcony.

His eyes lit up as he called out, "Come down!"

Sally paused, touched her face – she was still Xia Yin... Alright then!

She said to Huo Qing, who was still frantically wreaking havoc in the room, "I'll go out for a bit and come back in twenty minutes."

Huo Qing's voice was hoarse and filled with pain as he replied with one word, "Alcohol!"

"Okay," Sally agreed, then she left the room and locked the door behind her.

Lin Yuan waited for Sally in the hotel lobby.

When he saw her coming out of the elevator, he immediately walked over with the elderly couple, saying, "Xia Yin."

Sally nodded in response, "What's up?"

"This is Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji, Xiaoji's foster parents. There are no more rooms available in the hotel now, and your suite seems to have more than one bedroom. Could you accommodate them for a while?" Lin Yuan's eyes pleaded for help.

Xiaoji... Pope Ji Shize, no less!

An opportunity for a favor that shouldn't be wasted, "Okay, there's a room vacant in my suite. If you two don't mind, it's yours."

Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Sally asked the hotel manager for a case of strong liquor and had it sent to her suite.

Then, she took Mr. and Mrs. Ji and Lin Yuan into the elevator.

"What's the situation outside now?" Sally inquired.

Lin Yuan shook his head, "Nineteen districts are infested with the walking dead virus; we can't control it. Except for Beastified Humans and Half Beast Humans, who are unaffected, ordinary humans are mutating even without being attacked."

"How could this happen?" Sally was surprised.

Mr. Ji chimed in, "It might have something to do with the acid rain that fell for seven days last month."

"Acid rain?" Sally wasn't here last month.

"I felt a bit of a burning sensation when the rain hit me." Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

The elevator reached the eighth floor.

Just as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a lion's roar.

From the sound of it, Sally had a pretty good idea who it might be.

Lin Yuan was astonished, "Has someone transformed into a beast?"

Sally replied, "It should be Huo Qing; he injected himself with Beastification Potion."

"What? You have Beastification Potion?" Lin Yuan's expression became grave.

Sally: "..."

"How much do you have?"

"You want some?"

"At least one dose!"

Mrs. Ji suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, "Xiaolin, it couldn't be Xiaozi who..."

Hearing this, Sally looked at Lin Yuan, "He has the beastification gene as well?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Because the potion is now in short supply, and the factories that make it are in chaos, it's impossible for them to produce normally; even one dose is hard to come by."

Sally said, "Okay, I'll give you what I have."

After entering, the sound of continuous lion roars from Huo Qing's room confirmed Sally's guess.

"You can't go into these three rooms," Sally pointed to Huo Qing's guestrooms, and then to the master bedroom, "This room is spacious, it's for Mr. and Mrs. Ji. You can go and see if it's to your liking. If anything is missing, I'll speak with the hotel staff."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiaoxia, you all go about your business." Mr. Ji knew that Sally wanted to speak with Lin Yuan and immediately took Mrs. Ji into the master bedroom.

Sally opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, seemingly taking out two vials from inside, but in reality, she retrieved them from the System Space.

"There are twenty in total." She handed them to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took the vials and gave Sally a military salute.

"No need to thank me," Sally smiled, not adept at the gesture, so she didn't display it, "Is universal beastification becoming the trend?"

"It has been for a while, but the higher-ups have been suppressing it. I won't say more now, I need to find Xiaoji, I'm worried something might happen if it's too late. Please take care of Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji."

"Hmm, let's just control the situation first," Sally said as she saw Lin Yuan off.

The hotel waiter delivered the wine.

Sally also casually ordered dinner, as well as snacks and fruits and returned to the room.

Mrs. Ji came out of the room, looking refreshed after a bath and having changed into comfortable pajamas provided by the hotel.

"Thank you, Xiaoxia, we were in such a hurry when we left, we didn't bring anything. This is a small token of my gratitude; please don't refuse it." Mrs. Ji handed Sally a translucent green jade bracelet.

Sally hurriedly refused, "Please, there's no need, Mrs. Ji, you should keep it for yourself."

It was obviously an antique and not just valuable in itself, but the emotions it carried were priceless treasures.

"I'm old, and I might not get over this hurdle. It shouldn't be buried with me in the coffin. The moment I saw you, I liked you and felt you were a good fit for it," Mrs. Ji said as she took Sally's hand and forcibly put the bracelet on her.

Sally hurried to take it off when suddenly Mrs. Ji's gaze stiffened and her whole body froze.

[Host, she is infected with the virus, and it has spread to the brain marrow.]

[...sigh!] Sally hurried into the master bedroom and found that Mr. Ji was in the same state as Mrs. Ji.

There was a mobile phone on the table.

The screen lock password already unlocked, inside was a just-recorded video.

Sally played it; it was Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji, with forlorn expressions looking into the camera, "Xiao Shize, if you're seeing this video, your mother and I are probably gone. Last month your mother and I were caught in the acid rain..."

She put down the phone, then looked back at Mr. Ji and at Mrs. Ji in the living room.

Right now, they had not smelled the scent of pure humans, so they were in a rigid state.

If they were to smell the scent of pure humans, they would inevitably go into a frenzy.

Sally called the front desk, requesting that only beastified waiters deliver the meal and no others.

She carried Mrs. Ji into the master bedroom and laid her on the bed, Mr. Ji as well.

Then she took out two freezing spell amulets from the Space Ring and froze Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji to prevent their bodies from further decay and to preserve their appearance as when they were alive.

Huo Qing came out of the room.

He looked extremely tired, his brown-yellow, vertically slit pupils had not yet receded, clearly indicating his beastified human identity.

Lu He and Jerry had not come out. Considering Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji's reactions, both of them were also probably no longer purely human, either beastified or half beast human.

"Congratulations, Vice President," Sally handed him a bottle of wine.

Huo Qing accepted it and drained it in one go, "What a relief!"

There was a knock on the door. Sally went to open it, finding a waitstaff with a sheep's head in mid-beastification pushing a cart, "Your dinner."

"Thank you," Sally took the cart and also gave him a stack of tips.

The waiter happily accepted and left.

Sally pushed the cart over to Huo Qing, "Are you hungry?"

"Starving!" Huo Qing first picked up a plate of steak and started to eat big bites, completely abandoning the use of cutlery...

Sally then walked out to the balcony.

Under the night sky, there were even more cars outside the grand hotel, but no more people were being allowed in.
