Chapter 55: If All Else Fails part 1
Looking at the two little cubs clutching each other and shivering, Yun Yingzhi’s hands felt incredibly itchy.
In the past, he had never agreed with “stick-and-cane” education, but that was because he had never encountered “bear cubs” with such unique battle genes. Once you met them, you truly understood the importance of physical discipline.
He pressed his hands together, his knuckles letting out a series of sharp “crack-crack” sounds.
Obvious to all, the frequency of the two cubs’ shivering increased again. The little rabbit cub even tried to take a step back while holding the egg cub.
However, the rabbit cub was too panicked; its little paws lacked strength, and for a moment, it actually couldn’t drag the egg cub along.
The egg cub, perhaps sensing the loss of the warm embrace, immediately bounced backward and rolled back into the rabbit cub’s arms.
The most interesting part was the reaction of the people in the livestream.
[Before today, I always believed in reasoning with children, but facing these two little cubs, I subtly hope the Tough Guy beats them.]
[You can tell from their abilities just now that these two are thick-skinned and sturdy. As long as the Tough Guy exercises some restraint, he definitely won’t break them!]
[I’ve learned something new today. These two are absolutely the most “bear-like” cubs I’ve ever seen in my life, bar none.]
Yun Yingzhi narrowed his eyes and took another step toward the two little cubs.
As he approached, the two cubs appeared increasingly pitiful and helpless, but…
[Those two are so miserable, hee hee hee.]
[Even though they look so tragic already, I’m actually looking forward to this! Hahaha!]
Suddenly, a staff member called out Yun Yingzhi’s contestant number.
Yun Yingzhi suppressed his anger and looked toward the staff member.
The staff member said, “It’s like this, Contestant A13167. You need to pay for the workbench you damaged through your act of violence.”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. Had he damaged the workbench?
Earlier, he had been so angry that he slammed his hand down, letting out a loud sound. Had that been the sound of the workbench breaking?
He looked over at the workbench, and indeed…
It was thoroughly destroyed.
His ears twitched as he heard someone whispering, “He really is so violent.”
“His strength is so great; it’s practically on par with a Strength-type ability warrior, isn’t it?”
“As expected of the Fighter Jet Papa of two Battle Cubs. Those two must take after him a full hundred percent.”
“Does our department really have someone like this?”
Yun Yingzhi’s cheeks flushed crimson. He desperately wanted to explain to everyone that the two cubs didn’t take after him—they took after His Royal Highness Elvis!
He was a bit unhappy. Even if it was just a persona, how long was he going to have to keep taking the fall for Prince Elvis?
The staff member smiled at Yun Yingzhi and said, “I know you might be naturally strong, but because of that, I believe you need to control your violence even more.”
Due to the shame, all of Yun Yingzhi’s exposed skin turned a bright shade of red. He tried to explain, “No, my strength actually isn’t that great, and I’m not a violent person.”
Under the skeptical gazes of the crowd, he continued, “And I think this workbench might just be a bit old, which is why it broke.”
He explained this with a completely serious face.
The two little cubs noticed that Yun Yingzhi’s attention had been diverted. They paused in place. The rabbit cub took a step toward Yun Yingzhi while holding the egg cub, then, as if remembering something, took two steps back.
[The Tough Guy shifting the blame is killing me. It’s definitely not his fault; it’s the workbench’s fault for being made of a special material that can’t withstand his raw strength! Hahaha!]
[Just looking at the two cubs tells you the workbench was a normal workbench. What’s not normal is the Tough Guy’s freakish strength. Everyone, remember the strength he showed when he was lugging source materials earlier!]
As the crowd discussed this, Master Tang and Master Ted suddenly received a message from the organizers.
Their expressions instantly became very complicated.
Apparently, someone had filed a complaint against the Star Brilliance Competition organizers, claiming that the quality of the workbeds provided to contestants did not meet regulations. What if an accident happened and the contestant got hurt?
Clearly, someone had complained mainly because Yun Yingzhi had smashed the tabletop.
A normal person’s thought process was: “What a beastly Tough Guy!” A non-normal person’s thought process was: “It’s all the table’s fault; what if it accidentally hurt the Tough Guy?”
So, which eccentric person had filed the complaint?
In addition, the President of the Source Weapon Association also contacted the two of them.
Compared to the unique individual who filed a complaint at the drop of a hat, the President of the Source Weapon Association expressed himself quite tactfully.
He told them: That’s just a little milk rabbit who was just born and knows nothing. That’s merely a little white egg that hasn’t even hatched yet.
Combined with the previous request to “enshrine” the two cubs, it wasn’t hard to understand. This was an instruction for them to plead for mercy on behalf of the two cubs to Yun Yingzhi.
Master Tang and Master Ted glanced at each other, seeing shock and an “indescribable” feeling in each other’s eyes.
Just who was this person who could actually persuade the President of the Los Empire Source Weapon Association to have them plead with a “Battle Papa” on behalf of two bear cubs?
The two Masters looked toward Yun Yingzhi with complex emotions.
The staff member’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled politely, speaking in a businesslike tone, “Contestant, before every competition, our side conducts strict inspections. I can guarantee you with my life that there were no issues with this workbench.”
Yun Yingzhi: “But I think—”
Just as Yun Yingzhi tried to argue back, a very subtle scene occurred.
From all directions—truly, from all directions—students dressed in military uniforms tried to emulate Yun Yingzhi, seeing if they could also smash their workbenches.
As it turned out, they couldn’t.
One student contestant said with a shocked face, “To be honest, I have an S-rank physique. The Tough Guy’s physique must be much stronger than mine—at least 2S, maybe even 3S-rank?”
Yun Yingzhi felt like his entire body was emitting steam. Even though he was in the right, he couldn’t explain himself.
At this moment, he felt he was truly tragic—a grandmaster of taking the blame.
Forget it, forget it. Since he was using a persona anyway, it didn’t matter how many baseless accusations were thrown his way, as long as he wasn’t recognized.
Right, and there were the two cubs.
The two cubs might lead to his exposure, but it should be fine… right?
It would definitely be fine. A little white rabbit was a common second form. As for the egg cub, it would hatch eventually, and by then, this persona of his would still be a secret.
Thinking this way, Yun Yingzhi reached a state of “zen” and didn’t want to make any more useless explanations. He said, “I understand. I will pay for the damages.”
Heartaching over the money, Yun Yingzhi paid up, while the staff quickly cleared away the mess.
Yun Yingzhi’s gaze turned back to the two little cubs still clutching each other and shivering.
Sensing his gaze, the two cubs shivered as they slowly shuffled backward, looking extremely pitiful and helpless.
Yun Yingzhi finally had the time to beat the two little things.
However, before he could pick them up from the ground, Master Tang and Master Ted stepped forward and picked them up first.
Master Tang held the rabbit cub, while Master Ted held the egg cub.
With teary eyes, the rabbit cub looked longingly at Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi narrowed his eyes. Under the cover of the mask, his features couldn’t be seen clearly, but everyone could feel that he intended to discipline the bear cubs.
Master Tang stroked the rabbit cub and said, “Contestant A13167, this is just a little milk rabbit who doesn’t understand anything yet!”
The livestream chat exploded instantly.
[?]
[Wait, Master Tang, in my memory, you were never this kind of person?]
Master Ted looked at Yun Yingzhi and said, “Contestant, look, he’s merely a little white egg that hasn’t even hatched yet.”
[Exactly! I thought you guys were weird before—why did you all want to see the Tough Guy beat the kids? Master Tang and Master Ted are right! What could such tiny cubs have done wrong?]
[Even so, what’s wrong with Master Tang and Master Ted?]
Yun Yingzhi’s sharp gaze fixed on the rabbit cub.
The rabbit cub sat on Master Tang’s hand, resting its chin on its two paws with its head tilted slightly. “Da.” Act cute.
Seeing that Yun Yingzhi remained unmoved with a heart of stone, the rabbit cub rubbed its little paws together at him, as if apologizing through the gesture.
It had to be said that a milk rabbit rubbing its paws in apology looked simply adorable.
Yun Yingzhi shifted his gaze to the egg cub.
The egg cub immediately activated its spatial ability, teleporting from Master Ted’s hand to Master Tang’s. It snuggled into the rabbit cub’s embrace, displaying a soul-stirring brotherly bond where they must face adversity together.
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath to calm his anger and reached out his hands toward the two cubs.
The egg cub immediately used its spatial ability to take the rabbit cub along, jumping onto Yun Yingzhi’s hand.
The rabbit cub looked at Yun Yingzhi cautiously, then wrapped its two paws around one of his fingers and licked it ingratiatingly, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
The egg cub used its shell to rub against his finger in a fawning manner.
The camera drones captured the two cubs’ behavior perfectly.
At this moment, the two cubs had completely shed their “bear” behavior from the earlier fight and looked like two little angels on earth.
Yun Yingzhi originally wanted to poke them with his finger, but thinking they might not be obedient, he shook his fist at them instead.
Sure enough, upon seeing his fist, the two cubs acted even more well-behaved.
With a expressionless face, Yun Yingzhi took the two cubs back to the new workbench. He thought to himself that the organizers were really fast at replacing it—they must have realized the quality was off and were destroying the evidence.
Yun Yingzhi felt low. He was constantly running into various accidents that led to people misunderstanding him.
He was truly, truly tragic.
He stopped thinking about these depressing matters; he still had much to do.
First, he wiped the rabbit cub’s dirty little body, then changed its diaper.
After getting the rabbit cub clean, he wiped the egg cub’s shell. Before long, it had returned to being a beautiful, translucent white egg cub.
And then…
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched.
The rabbit cub was holding a diaper in its two paws, attempting to put it on the egg cub.
The egg cub, perhaps seeing the rabbit cub wearing a diaper all the time and thinking it was something good, didn’t dodge. Instead, it cooperatively hopped into it.
The ridiculous part was that the diaper was elastic. Through the combined efforts of one rabbit and one egg, the egg cub actually managed to put it on.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
