this is actually exactly the underline meaning in this story, where the MC is in relationship with that girl's best friend but she often joke or attempt to flirt with the mc when her friend is present (she also likes the mc *aka Harlem story)

More context would be helpful.  What is the passage about?  Is someone trying to have a child? Could 懷孕 be figurative here?

Not judging OP's taste of literature, but stories like this would ruin your grammar.

Now the answer:

Obviously, the conversation is between a group of MMO players.

The part of the story here is 凫水囡囡 (ID of a player) wants to do a "task" 任务 which requires a five player team. So he/she, I assume it's a he but she is also possible as this could easily be that kind of story, added four other players in to the group. Those four are supposedly all females as the story called them MM (a online slang for chicks).

So the part of the lines in question come up after they were added and before 凫水囡囡 tells them why "he" added them. Below are a rough line by line translation:

> 将四个MM一一拉入队伍内，也没有说为什么，顿时一个个都惊奇不已的像是好奇宝宝了(。)

As I native speaker, I don't really know what do they mean. But as far as I can tell. The character named Dong Cheng Yue is seen to be horny by "Me", and she seem to always say stuff relating to sex. So the phrase might be literally getting pregnant (suggesting the task is hooking up) or just figuratively (suggesting the task is significant), or maybe a little both.

To me it's just a bunch of MMO players joking around or maybe with some sort of flirtation. Anyway, as far as Chinese the language/culture concerns, 失败就怀孕 isn't really a thing. So you can just try to interpret in anyway you want as if it were written in English.

according to the context:

```
婉儿轻笑：“猪头，到底什么任务啊？” 东城月嘻嘻笑：“大约是失败就怀孕之类的任务吧……”

```

Most of the time, in our concept, 懷孕(pregnant) means one man should take responsibility for one woman, aka marry her.

Thus, this means that "東城月 want to play a joke to some man, and she wants to imply the man she love him."

Maybe, it is only a joking for 不成功便成仁.

And 仁 has the same pronunciation as 人...
