"My cheat code has finally appeared!"
Rennes's face lit up with excitement.
After six months of being transported to another world, he had nearly given up hope of receiving any kind of special power or advantage. But now, finally, his system had activated—and all because he hadn't triggered it the right way until now.
"Well, better late than never."
Returning to his senses, Rennes eagerly dove into exploring the functions of his newly awakened cheat system.
Just a few minutes later, he had a solid grasp of how it worked.
In a word? Family.
The core of his system revolved around expanding his bloodline. Every time he had a child, he received rewards. The higher the aptitude of the child, the greater the reward.
"This system is direct, even ruthless... but I love it."
A grin spread across Rennes's face.
As long as he had the right conditions—enough "fertile land"—producing a dozen or more children a year wouldn't be a problem.
At one year of cultivation power per child, he'd gain the equivalent of decades of hard work in just twelve months.
Becoming a legendary warrior, or even a demigod, was only a matter of time.
Of course, there was a catch.
His system only recognized children born from women with a beauty rating of 85 or higher. Clearly, it was a beauty-loving system.
Given Rennes's current status and strength, gathering a large number of beautiful women was far from easy.
"Looks like I'll have to focus on Janice for now," he thought.
Three years passed since Rennes awakened the cheat system.
Thanks to his constant dedication, Janice had spent nearly every moment either pregnant or preparing to be.
In that time, she gave birth to four children, one of whom came from a twin pregnancy.
However, luck didn't seem to be on his side.
Just like their firstborn, all four children were rated Black Iron-level, the lowest tier.
Still, they granted him four years' worth of Qi cultivation.
Including his first child, Rennes had now earned five years' cultivation power, pushing him to the edge of advancing from a third-rank to a fourth-rank warrior.
Desperate to break through, Rennes intensified his "efforts" with Janice.
Despite having given birth to five children in a row, Janice's beauty hadn't faded in the slightest. If anything, she had become even more alluring—like a rose in full bloom.
This was largely due to Rennes investing heavily in magical medicine to restore and maintain her health after each childbirth.
Thanks to these restorative treatments, Janice remained in peak physical condition, and since they weren't using any contraceptives, it wasn't long before she was pregnant again.
"I just gave birth not long ago, and now I'm pregnant again? This is all your fault, Rennes!"
Janice pouted as she leaned into her husband, her beautiful face flushed with mock annoyance.
Five children in just a few short years—who could keep up with that?
If it hadn't been for his constant affection, sweet words, and sincere care, she might have refused to continue long ago.
"It's my fault, it's my fault!" Rennes said with a smile, holding her close. "If you don't want any more after this, I promise—no more."
He wasn't heartless. If Janice truly wanted to stop, he would never force her.
"I don't mind having more..." she murmured, voice softening. "I just want a break."
Hearing that, Rennes felt warmth fill his heart.
"You're incredible. Marrying someone who understands me this well… it's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me."
"Sweet talker," Janice muttered, rolling her eyes—but she couldn't hide the tenderness in them.
Ten months passed.
As Janice's belly grew, Rennes prepared for the delivery.
When the day finally arrived, the air was tense—until a baby's cry echoed through the manor.
Their sixth child was born.
Suddenly, a familiar message appeared in Rennes's mind:
[Sixth child detected. Magic aptitude: Low. Qi aptitude: Medium. Overall evaluation: Bronze level.Reward: Ten years of fighting spirit cultivation and 5-star combat technique – Gale Sword Technique.]
"A bronze-level child?"
Rennes's eyes widened with joy.
Compared to the Black Iron ratings of his previous children, this child was clearly on a whole new level.
And the rewards reflected that.
Not only did he receive ten full years of Qi cultivation, but also a powerful 5-star combat technique.
In this world, combat techniques were ranked from 0 to 9 stars.
The higher the rank, the more powerful the ability—and higher-tier techniques could even trigger magical effects during battle.
For comparison, most barons like Rennes only had access to 3-star techniques at best. Techniques above that were often guarded by count-level nobles or even royalty.
Which meant the Gale Sword Technique was not just rare—it was priceless.
"I've hit the jackpot with this one."
Without hesitation, Rennes accepted the reward.
Instantly, his mind filled with the knowledge of the Gale Sword Technique. It felt like he'd practiced it for years.
At the same time, he could feel his inner strength growing.
His Qi energy surged, the quality and depth of it improving dramatically.
4th rank... 5th... 6th!
Within moments, Rennes reached the peak of the intermediate warrior stage, just a step away from becoming a high-level warrior.
"At the intermediate level, fighting spirit gains the ability to strike at range—maintaining full lethality even when launched from the body. That's a game-changer."
To test it out, Rennes extended two fingers and directed his Qi toward the stone wall.
A beam of yellow energy shot out, punching a ten-centimeter-deep hole into the rock—comparable to armor-piercing rounds from his previous life.
"No doubt about it. Intermediate warriors are on a whole different level."
He nodded in satisfaction.
In just one day, his strength had increased more than tenfold. His new technique, combined with the jump in cultivation, made him a completely different person from before.
"This system is incredible."
Feeling the raw power coursing through his body, Rennes found himself daydreaming.
"If I could just have a hundred—or even a hundred and eighty—children, I'd be unstoppable."
