Part 4
Same attribute, different uses.
[Yun Yingzhi: The kind that can sever the connection between the Zerg Queen and the Zerg Legions?]
Almost the instant he sent the message, he received a reply.
[Yun Yinghui: No.]
Yun Yingzhi was shocked.
They really didn’t have it?
He had been studying with Alvin and had encountered all sorts of weapons. True, he rarely touched space-attribute ones, but he thought that was just a matter of specialization.
Thinking about it, the Empire was so big and there were so many manufacturers; if he could think of it, others surely could too, right?
Theoretically, that was true, which was why he was stunned when his brother said they didn’t have it.
Yun Yingzhi placed a hand over his heart, feeling his heartbeat accelerate. For the first time, he felt he truly might be able to help his brother.
Then, he received another message from Yun Yinghui.
[Yun Yinghui: Zhizhi has good ideas.]
[Yun Yinghui: The Queen can issue commands to the Legions from a long distance. Once they receive the order, the Zerg go mad, self-destructing without fear of deathāthatās why theyāre so difficult to deal with. As for a weapon that severs that connection, this is the first time Iāve heard of it.]
Yun Yingzhi’s large eyes blinked. He thought: Iām not just going to let you hear about it; Iām going to make it for you.
[Yun Yinghui: Perhaps in the future, such a Source Weapon will appear. If so, the pressure on the front-line warriors will likely be much lower.]
Yun Yingzhi asked: [Brother, what level are your teammates?]
[Yun Yinghui: Why the sudden question?]
[Yun Yingzhi: Iāve been studying Source Weapon manufacturing for so long. Iāve always wanted to make one for you, but I never had the chance. I realized I canāt make one for you yet, but I can make them for your teammates!]
[Yun Yinghui: Zhizhi, from the past until now, youāve never given me one. What if Iām jealous?]
Happy little flowers bloomed around Yun Yingzhi. He loved any form of expression of love. He continued messaging:
[Yun Yingzhi: Brother! Zhizhi loves you!]
[Yun Yinghui: Be good, Zhizhi. Brother loves you too.]
In that moment, the thoughts of the two brothers synchronized as they recalled something from the distant past.
Back then, Yun Yingzhi was too young to understand much. He wanted his parents’ love, so he would cling to Yun Yinghui and call him “Papa” and “Mama.” After every call, he would say, “Zhizhi loves Papa,” or “Zhizhi loves Mama!”
Young Yun Yingzhi didn’t force his brother to reply “Papa loves you” or “Mama loves you,” but…
He would look at Yun Yinghui with large, watery, pitiful, and expectant eyes.
Then, Yun Yinghui would be forced to reply, “Papa loves Zhizhi,” or “Mama loves Zhizhi.”
Of course, Yun Yinghui had tried to resist. When the boy said “Zhizhi loves Mama,” he would reply “Brother loves Zhizhi,” which should have been fine.
However, the little guyās small body would wobble like a noodle and collapse onto the floor. Sometimes he would even transform into his tiny Second Form and curl into a ball, looking heart-wrenchingly pitiful.
So, Yun Yinghui would swallow his shame, keep a straight face, and tentatively say, “Mama also loves Zhizhi.” Only then would the little rabbit stand back up, happy bubbles radiating from him, looking full of life.
Over those few years, the most terrifying thing to Yun Yinghui was hearing “Zhizhi loves Mama.”
It had to be saidāhumans are very adaptable. Over the years, Yun Yinghui had been trained by Yun Yingzhi to have a Pavolvian response.
Just like now, when Yun Yingzhi wrote “Zhizhi loves Brother,” the image of the boy wobbling and collapsing if he didn’t respond immediately flashed through Yun Yinghuiās mind. Thus, he replied instantly.
His younger brother was simply too fragile.
[Yun Yingzhi: Brother, the reason I want to make weapons for your teammates is that I love you! If your teammates are strong, they can protect you!]
Without waiting for a reply, he continued:
[Yun Yingzhi: Iāll grow even faster. In a few more years, I will definitely be able to custom-make a weapon for you!]
On the other end, his brother replied: [Good.]
[Yun Yingzhi: I can’t make one for you yet, but I think I can make them for your teammates. Tell me their levels!]
This time, his brother gave him an answer.
It was just as Yun Yingzhi thought. Yun Yinghui was a Level 9 Ability Warrior. He had two teammates of the same level, and several Level 7s and 8s.
The overall team was very strong, including many Level 5 and 6 warriors.
Yun Yingzhi clenched his fists. He wished he could run to the studio right now to manufacture weapons for them.
Oh.
There were two serious problems now.
The biggest hurdle in making those weapons was researching the Limited Space carving pattern that could block the Queenās mental fluctuations. The second…
Was a very practical problem.
Every Source Weapon requires money to manufacture. He had no money.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He looked at his chat history with his brother. He couldn’t just tell his brother he wanted to make weapons for him and then immediately ask for a bank transfer, could he?
He couldn’t do that. He was an adult now; he had to find a way himself!
He had to find a way to earn money.
While he was thinking, A-Hao said, “The second match is ready.”
Yun Yingzhiās spirit rallied. He sent his brother a “goodnight” message and opened the notification.
Following the routine, he signed the waiver and headed to the waiting room with his two teammates.
Ten minutes later, the passage opened, and the three walked onto the combat platform together.
Even though Yun Yingzhi had only fought one match at the Yaoming Battle Arena, the stands for his second match were almost completely full.
The moment the three appeared on the glass walkway leading to the platform, a large group of people in the stands began to roar, the chant of “Little Battle Bunny” echoing through the rafters.
Translator’s Note:
Zhizhi is really going through it. He was so proud of himself for being a “Level 5 Big Boss” only to realize he’s being looked down upon by two teenagers! But man, that “Battle Rabbit” scene? Absolutely iconic. Our boy might be a “fragile” bunny, but his strength is definitely “next level” (Jue Jue Zi).
A few terms from today:
- “One Mighty Little White Rabbit”: This is Zhizhi’s alias. In Chinese, it’s Hao Qiang Da Yi Xiao Bai Tu. It sounds very “internet troll” and funny.
- Jue Jue Zi (ēµēµå): A popular slang term used by the spectators. It basically means “absolute peak” or “stunningly good.”
- “Male Mother” (ē·åŖ½åŖ½): We see more of this dynamic with his brother! The mental image of a cool Colonel being forced to say “Mama loves you” to a tiny bunny is just too much.
- Reporting the opponents: Only Zhizhi would think of “socially murdering” his enemies by reporting them to their schools. Truly the most “military student” way to fight.
