Part 3
Considering that the money earned would go toward making a weapon for Yun Yinghui, he felt he should transfer a little less to his brother this time. He’d just send a hundred to let his brother feel the joy.
With that thought, he immediately transferred a hundred credits of “pocket money” to Yun Yinghui.
On the other end, Yun Yinghui might have been busy, as he didn’t contact Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi looked at Ji Xiaobo and said, “Xiaobo, don’t worry. That manufacturer is very serious. Just wait a few more days, and he’ll have your weapon ready.”
Ji Xiaobo’s eyelids twitched. He hoped that before then, Yun Yingzhi would realize he’d met a scammer and automatically cancel their orders. “Yingzhi, I’m in no hurry.”
Yun Yingzhi: “Huh?”
Ji Xiaobo smiled. “I’m really not in a hurry. If that manufacturer is busy, he can make weapons for the others first.”
Yun Yingzhi wanted to say more, but Ji Xiaobo added, “Besides, I still need to think if I have any special requirements.”
Yun Yingzhi thought about it and said, “Then tell me once you’ve made up your mind.” He could use this time to perfect the spatial-type inscriptions.
Ji Xiaobo nodded.
As if remembering something, Ji Xiaobo said, “By the way, Yingzhi, did your friend have Feiwen’s weapon appraised?”
Yun Yingzhi answered decisively, “No.”
The two thought: As expected!
The staff member thought: A Level 5 source weapon worth 1.5 million after a half-off discount hasn’t even been appraised?
Yun Yingzhi said, “I heard that sending it to the Source Weapon Association for appraisal requires an appraisal fee. We’re military students; we can appraise it ourselves. There’s no need to spend that money, right?” He added, “We shouldn’t waste that money. It’s better to use it to buy more expensive packaging, right?” His smile was exceptionally sweet.
The group thought: That manufacturer is truly stingy. No wonder he prepared such cheap packaging for such an expensive weapon.
Yu Feiwen shot a discreet look at Ji Xiaobo and said, “However, if there’s an appraisal certificate, one can take it out to show off or post it on social media.”
Yun Yingzhi thought that made a lot of sense, but it no longer had anything to do with the manufacturer. He looked at Yu Feiwen expectantly and said, “That makes sense!”
Before the two could say anything else, Yun Yingzhi added, “Feiwen, once you’ve had it appraised, you must show me the results.” It could be used as a reference for future clients.
Yu Feiwen felt a lump in his throat and was momentarily speechless.
They thought that Yun Yingzhi’s faith in that manufacturer was truly unshakeable. However, in their eyes, he had definitely been scammed.
There was no rush.
Yu Feiwen thought that since the weapon was now in his hands, he’d just find time to appraise it, and then Yun Yingzhi would know the truth.
Led by the staff member, the group entered the elevator going directly from the underground garage to the banquet hall. Before long, the elevator stopped.
The moment the doors opened, a crowd of people swarmed forward, instantly separating Yun Yingzhi from the others and surrounding him on all sides.
Yu Feiwen and Ji Xiaobo tried to go to his rescue, but there was no way. They were completely cut off by the crowd, and the throng of people separating them only grew larger…
At this moment, Yun Yingzhi was surrounded by students at the very center. His face was flushed—partly from embarrassment and partly from the stifling heat.
What made Yun Yingzhi even more distraught was that a female student reached out and pinched his cheek hard.
Yun Yingzhi had been sensitive to pain since he was a child. With that one pinch, his eyes immediately and unhelpfully filled with tears. He looked incredibly pitiful and beautiful.
Someone in the crowd said in an admiring tone, “As expected of Fanse Academy’s number one school beauty. Even though he’s a boy, he’s even better-looking than the school beauty of our Eiffel Academy.”
Eiffel Academy was a girls’ school.
Internally, Yun Yingzhi was collapsing. As an adult male, being told he was prettier than the belle of a girls’ school didn’t make him happy at all.
Suddenly, someone else stroked his cheek.
Yun Yingzhi was tired, hungry, and sleepy. Being swarmed by so many people at once, unable to escape, and unable to see the notifications on his terminal made him furious, yet he was helpless.
Was he… truly helpless?
Just then, a familiar voice drifted over from not far away.
“What are you all doing?”
Hearing the voice, many people turned to look. It was Wei Yuanqing.
The Wei family was the wealthiest in the Los Empire, consistently holding the top spot on the wealth rankings every year. As the sole heir to the Wei family, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Some people looked toward Wei Yuanqing, while others instinctively walked toward him.
At that exact moment, Yun Yingzhi took advantage of the chaos to transform into his second form, his tiny body darting across the floor.
Even though he’d always been a bit embarrassed by his second form, it really was quite useful in certain specific situations.
First, his small size allowed him to escape in most scenarios. Second…
It was his former fantasy of skipping out on tickets.
…?
He suddenly thought of a “shady operation” he’d heard about in the past—Yun Yinghui had told him.
He said that when he was a kid, he was so clingy that he couldn’t stand being away from Yun Yinghui for a whole month, so he’d secretly hide in his backpack or pocket to follow him into Fanse Academy.
Back then, Yun Yingzhi was truly tiny—a little thing the size of a palm.
He had been too young then, so he didn’t have much of a memory of it.
But it was quite surreal.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
Someone in the crowd asked, “Where did Fanse Academy’s school beauty go?”
Another familiar, cool voice rang out: “Is Yingzhi here?” It was Yun Yingyao’s voice.
At the same time, Yun Yingzhi felt something reaching out to grab him.
In that instant, the originally noisy venue fell into a dead silence.
Every hair on Yun Yingzhi’s body stood on end as he felt a wave of pressure.
Just as he was about to leap and flee, a large hand beat him to it, scooping him up from the floor. Then, that large hand gave the rabbit a firm “rua.”
The rabbit version of Yun Yingzhi was pinched, rubbed, and squeezed by the large hand until his entire face took on an expression of utter despair.
Sniffling, Yun Yingzhi smelled a familiar scent.
It was the scent of Elvis, which he had smelled not too long ago.
It could almost be said that the moment a cold-aura-exuding Elvis appeared in everyone’s sight, the entire venue had fallen silent.
However, after Elvis picked up the little rabbit, his “keep away” demeanor softened with a hint of gentleness.
The frozen air seemed to warm up again.
The crowd gathered once more, a group of people respectfully addressing him as “Prince Elvis.”
Elvis didn’t look left or right, carrying the rabbit straight toward the banquet hall.
Yun Yingzhi struggled under the “rua-ing” of Elvis’s hand to look around, discovering a vast array of delicacies.
So hungry!
He could eat!
As long as he found an opportunity, he could eat.
Yun Yingzhi was eager to try, thinking about how to escape from Elvis’s hands.
A female student walked toward Elvis, attempting to strike up a conversation, but she was ignored entirely.
Someone else in the crowd asked where Yun Yingzhi had gone. They had heard his second form was a little white rabbit. Was it possible that the rabbit Prince Elvis was holding was actually Yun Yingzhi himself?
Hearing this, many eyes turned toward Yun Yingzhi in unison.
Yun Yingzhi’s tiny body stiffened. The hand Elvis was using to hold the rabbit paused.
Then, Elvis turned the rabbit’s head away from everyone, pressing the rabbit’s face against his chest.
The overwhelming scent coming from Prince Elvis made Yun Yingzhi feel a bit uncomfortable and incredibly embarrassed.
Suddenly, Elvis turned the rabbit back around. He took a glass of juice from a tray held by a passing waiter and brought it to Yun Yingzhi’s lips.
Yun Yingzhi blinked his large, dark eyes and tentatively licked the juice brought to his mouth.
