"I have seen this a few times, but you seem good with kids, do you want to have a kid?" As soon as they were outside the house, Zhang Mengyao suddenly asked him.
"What all of sudden?" Tang Shaoyang asked before his eyes fell to her belly, 'Did she get pregnant?' It was not a surprise if she was pregnant with his kid. They never used protection when they were having sexual activity.
"I am not pregnant," Zhang Mengyao rolled her eyes, "But if you want, we can work for one," she smiled at him. She was serious with her words.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "If one of you is pregnant, of course, I am happy. But this is not the right time for that. I will spend most of my time outside, I don't want my kid to grow up without knowing their father's face."

Because of the celebration case, the atmosphere within the camp was a bit tense and kinda gloomy. Thirty-nine names were noted in Wen's notebook, waiting for their punishment.
Of course, their punishment had not been announced yet. From how furious their Boss was, the punishment was something they should fear, especially from Tang Shaoyang.
While the atmosphere was not that good, the time ticked off. A day quickly passed off, the seventh portal would form this morning. Everyone gathered on the same road again as tense started to fill the atmosphere.
Two casualties from the previous portal was an alarming bell for them. While many survived, it told them that they still could lose their lives inside the portal. The seventh portal which was also the last portal would have the highest difficulty. Many of them were considered to not enter the portal, but Tang Shaoyang's words kept ticking them off.
Their world, the Earth was changing too. Soon their world might change to the world on the other side of the portal. If they did not take their chance this time to get stronger, they might lose their lives in the future.
As they were waiting for the last portal, a big screen suddenly popped out in the center of HZ Bay. It was a big blue transparent screen and "Congratulations" was written on it.
[Congratulations! You have survived the Survival Game!]
[The seventh portal is a portal to receive your reward for finishing the Survival Game!]
[Only the Participants of the game get the reward!]
After the giant screen in the sky, a series of notifications rang in everyone's head. Tang Shaoyang was surprised, then followed by the others too, they cheered loudly when they heard the survival game was over.
Tang Shaoyang was relieved and a bit disappointed. Zhang Mengyao who was next to him could see the disappointment in his eyes, 'He must be thinking it's a pity that the seventh portal is a reward instead of another survival mission.'
She could read her man's emotion well, and she was the only one.
"What's that?" Suddenly the crowd went ruckus as everyone began pointing to the sky. No, they were pointing at the big screen in the sky. It changed from the congratulatory message to a list with ten names.
————————
[Top 10 performances of the Survival Game]
1. Tang Shaoyang [Tang Empire]
2. Lu An [Tang Empire]
3. Yu Shun [Tang Empire]
4. Zhang Mengyao [Tang Empire]
5. Li Na [Tang Empire]
6. Wei Xi [Tang Empire]
7. Yan Sheng[Tang Empire]
8. Tian Donghai [Tang Empire]
9. Hu Feng [Tang Empire]
10. Liang Suyin [Tang Empire]
————————
It was a familiar list as it could be considered the top 10 strongest in the group. The ten names were glowing in golden light, Tang Shaoyang's name was the brightest one amongst the ten names.
Tang Shaoyang was surprised that Yu Shun came third. He thought Zhang Mengyao would be third for sure. Even though the zombie army was strong, Zhang Mengyao should be stronger than him.
Another surprise was Liang Suyin, she was tenth. She just recently got her class, but her performance was in the top ten, 'Another talented General? She should follow Mengyao from now on to learn more things.'
While everyone was looking at the list, Kang Xue nudged him from the side, "Check the participant's list!"
"Participants list?" As he blurted that out, another list appeared in front of him. It was the participant's list.
————————
[Participants]
Tang Empire: 168 people
Flame Castle: 5
Neutral: 23
————————
"Weird," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. He was sure that the people in this camp were over two hundred, but why only 152 registered as the participants.
"Maybe there are certain conditions needed to be fulfilled to be listed as a player. It may be the level, age, and a lot of things. Or, the women and the children that did not enter the gate are not considered as a player from the start," Zhang Mengyao voiced her conjecture.
It was something he could not understand unless the System kindly explained that to them. Of course, it was something that impossible. The System did not even bother with a guide, let alone explained something like this.
While they were conversing, a portal formed at the usual spot. In order to get the reward, they had to enter the portal, "Let's finish this quickly, we have been over a month away from the base."
Tang Shaoyang was the first one to enter the portal as usual. As soon as he entered the portal, he arrived in the white room with a screen.
[Please choose one for your reward from completing the Survival Game]
————————
Talent Point
Epic Skill
Epic Equipment
1000 Skill Points
Epic Box
————————
He was given five choices. He never heard about Epic Skill, Epic Equipment, and Epic Box. The fifth choice might be something similar to a Treasure Chest. He could get an Epic Class too from the Epic Box maybe, but the chance of getting something that good was so low for sure. The risk for Epic Box was too high. He immediately crosses the fifth choice.
Skill Points, this was for sure a rare one for reward, and 1000 could be used to level up a high-level skill or maybe evolve the skill. Tang Shaoyang quickly decided to cross the fourth option too.
Compared to the other three, Skill Point could be gained through the game. There were still a lot of games in the future, and the first three were something he could only get from an ultimate reward from clearing a big game such as Survival Game.
"Epic Skill and Epic Equipment…" he muttered in a low voice before looking back at the first option, "What do you guys think?" He asked the spirit.
—You just have your battle-ax upgraded, I don't recommend you Epic Equipment. On top of that, you have your skills for your defense, equipment is the last thing you needed for now.
Zowen was quick with her answer. She did not give a definite answer, but it helped to narrow down the option.
—My thoughts are the same, but I recommend you Talent Point. It is something you can only get from passing a high threshold, an advancement. But as you know, advancement is getting harder the higher your level is, and as you now have two classes too. Moreover, I do believe that [Slayer Energy] and [Dragon Transformation] are considered Epic Skills.
