Chapter 188: Chapter 134 What the Heck, the System Wants Me to Hatch an Egg?!! [Big Chapter, 5000 Words]_3

“`

Should it be placed under the butt, or held in the arms, this…

Suddenly, it became a difficult choice.

If placed under the butt, are you sure it won’t just get crushed in an instant?

At that moment, I would have to…

“Hold it, place it at your chest,” the System explained.

‘Alright.’ Ye Fan immediately pulled open his clothes and placed the egg against his chest. When it first touched his skin, it felt a bit cold, but he quickly got used to it.

While holding the egg, Ye Fan lowered his head and began to observe any changes in it.

A few minutes later…

No change.

Dozens of minutes later…

Still no change.

Half an hour later…

Just when Ye Fan was running out of patience, he saw a small crack form in the egg, which quickly grew larger.

Finally, a small hole appeared, and just as Ye Fan was about to take a closer look at the hole, the next second, a head popped out—a bald head, kind of like a little chick?

Yes, a chick?

Well, after half a day of incubating an egg, out comes a chick.

Ye Fan was a bit dumbfounded.

The bald chick, with a pair of red eyes, glanced at Ye Fan, gave a cry, then began eating the eggshell, lowering its head.

Ye Fan knew that some oviparous animals eat their eggshells after birth; the eggshell contains rich calcium material, which is what animals need the most.

So Ye Fan just watched as the bald chick ate the eggshell, its sharp little beak working incredibly fast, making a ‘crunch crunch crunch’ sound.

It was gone in the blink of an eye.

(⊙o⊙)…

Ye Fan was watching a chicken eat an eggshell for the first time in his life, and of course, it was also his first time hatching one.

His heart was still not at peace.

In the next second, the bald chick jumped straight out from Ye Fan’s chest, hopped off him, and stretched lazily on the lawn.

Only then did Ye Fan get a clear look: this bald chick was truly bald, without a single feather on its body, its white skin somewhat dazzling in the sunlight—quite an eyesore!

“So ugly!” Ye Fan said disdainfully.

“Cheep~~” As if sensing Ye Fan’s disdain, the little bald chick chirped, sounding quite aggrieved.

Apparently, it felt sad that Ye Fan found it ugly.

A newborn animal will consider the first being they see as their parent, and so it considered Ye Fan as its parent. Feeling its father’s disdain for its ugliness, it felt a bit reluctant, but even more so, it felt wronged.

Any creature would not want to be disdained by their parents, and this one was no exception.

Looking into Ye Fan’s eyes, it wore a tinge of sadness.

When Ye Fan heard it chirp, for some reason, he could vividly feel that the little thing was unhappy. Could it be because of his comment about it being ugly?

This little chick was quite intelligent.

It could actually understand human speech.

“Ugly or not, you were hatched by me after all. Don’t worry, no matter how ugly you are, I won’t abandon you. How much can a little bald chick eat? I can afford to raise you,” Ye Fan said.

After all, he was now a parent, and his heart had already undergone some changes.

It had become a little softer.

No matter what, this chick was a reward from the System, the only prize he got with one hundred points, and it was the product of half an hour of incubation; he simply couldn’t abandon it.

“`

Ugly it is.

Maybe it’ll look better once it has feathers!

Ye Fan hypnotized himself.

When the little chick heard Ye Fan’s words, it lifted its bald head, looked at Ye Fan, and chirped again, indicating that it would try to become better-looking and strive not to disappoint its father.

“Mmm, it doesn’t really look any different,” Ye Fan said as he reached out and picked up the bald chick, examining its wings, claws, head, neck, back, belly, buttocks, and so on.

He couldn’t make anything of it.

However, what’s with that red birthmark on the chick’s forehead?

It did look a bit eerie.

Apart from that, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like any other chick, just slightly bigger; maybe it was an ostrich chick.

But Ye Fan had never seen one before, so it was just a guess.

Specifically, they would have to wait until this little thing grew a bit before they could really tell.

The chick was very cooperative with Ye Fan’s physical examination.

After all, in its eyes, this person was its father, and it was willing to be close to its father.

Despite studying it for a long time, Ye Fan couldn’t figure anything out.

In the end, he had to give up.

Lying on the lawn, basking in the sun.

And the chick was nestled on Ye Fan’s chest.

Looking at the chick, Ye Fan wondered if he should name it; after all, he hatched it himself.

Always calling it bye, chick, chick was so unpleasant.

The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more he felt it should have a name.

But what would be a good name?

He didn’t even know if the chick was male or female.

Anyway, he couldn’t tell.

After thinking for a while, why not call it Baldy? It was a baldy after all, and the name was quite fitting.

But then he thought, what if it grew feathers later on? Then the name wouldn’t be fitting anymore.

He thought again, and had it!

‘Niuniu’

Ye Fan’s eyes lit up instantly; Niuniu sounded so sweet, so adorable!

“From now on, you’ll be called Niuniu. Understand? When I call Niuniu, I’ll be calling you. Remember, I gave you this name; it’s so soft and cute,” Ye Fan said, laughing.

Ye Fan thought more and more that the name was quite good!

Niuniu, how cute!

The name was settled!

‘Chirp~’ The chick heard the name, looked puzzled—as if it felt a bit odd—but since it was just born and not fully aware, it didn’t give it too much thought and chirped in response, looking earnestly at Ye Fan.

The father would not deceive it.

What Niuniu didn’t know was that when it grew up a bit, every time it thought about this moment, it would be filled with regret. It shouldn’t have agreed to this name.

The name was truly a lifelong pain!

“Niuniu, remember that. From now on, follow me closely,” Ye Fan said again.

Naming a chick Niuniu felt very humanizing, but Ye Fan was still quite pleased with it!
