Part 2
He only ate more than usual simply because he was wearing a “vest” of a secret identity, and because the organizers provided free meals. It would be a waste not to eat.
After finishing their meal in silence, the four went about their own business.
Yun Yingzhi hesitated but couldn’t resist his curiosity. He opened the Star Network to take a look, and then he saw an overwhelming amount of information about himself.
Yun Yingzhi felt like he was going to fall apart.
Had Yun Yinghui seen this information?
If he had, what would his brother think of him? Was his image going to be ruined?
Wait, just now Yun Yinghui had given him a list of brothers and sisters… Did those brothers…
Did they know it was him?
Did they know?
Yun Yingzhiās cheeks burned. He felt like he had lost all his dignity for this lifetime. What “Wool-Pulling Emperor”? How annoying.
With a long face, Yun Yingzhi angrily turned off his personal terminal and went to sleep.
December 2nd.
Yun Yingzhi received a notification for a private message.
One had to admit that Yun Yinghui was truly impressive.
Using the excuse of Yun Yingzhiās poor health, Yun Yinghui had requested three days of leave per week for him. From then on, he could freely enter and leave Fanse Academy during times when he had no classes.
However, Yun Yingzhi knew that three days of leave a week was the designated time to go to the hospital.
He left the academy and went to the Imperial Planet First Hospital for an examination.
Yun Yinghui had already arranged everything.
There was no need to wait; the moment Yun Yingzhi entered the hospital, he began the checkup.
After a round of tests, he received some very peculiar information.
He already knew that there were two little cubs in his belly. One was in its second form, while the other seemed to be in human form. If all went well, they wouldn’t be born until after forty weeks.
However…
An accident had occurred.
During this checkup, according to the scans, the second-form cub was still in its second form. But the cub that was previously in human form had suddenly “differentiated,” likely under the influence of the second-form cub.
Generally speaking, a second form was more powerful than a human form.
With the two cubs together, under the pressure of the second-form cub, the other cub likely felt a sense of crisis and thus differentiated into its own second form.
Yun Yingzhi summarized the doctorās meaning: “In other words, they could be born at any time, right?”
He received an affirmative answer.
Yun Yingzhi frowned as he walked out of the hospital, his heart filled with unease.
According to his original plan, if the first cub was born now and the second ten months later, he could probably grit his teeth and raise both on his own. But…
If the two cubs were born togetherāsetting aside the financial issuesācould he really take good care of them?
Then he thought: if both cubs could be born within a month, and Yun Yinghui just happened to be on leave, his brother should be able to help him look after them.
With a nervous heart, he boarded the hover-bus back to Fanse Academy.
Halfway there, he saw a gift shop.
Thinking of the source weapons he was going to give his brother, Yun Yingzhi got off the bus mid-journey to buy gift boxes.
Entering the shop, he searched the shelves and immediately saw the same model of packaging box he had used when giving Yu Feiwen the source weaponāthe exceptionally expensive one.
It was pricey, but his brother was worth it!
He walked over and was pleasantly surprised to find that this specific packaging box was on a year-end special: Buy 10, Get 10 Free.
Yun Yingzhi thought about it seriously. Did he really need that many boxes?
He already had nine source weapons made, and next…
Right, after he passed the preliminaries, there was the qualifying round.
The preliminary round lasted only one day, but the qualifying round lasted for a full seven days. In those seven days, he could pull even more wool. Who knew, maybe in those seven days he could manufacture seventy source weapons for his brother?
However, on second thought, even at the discounted price, he didn’t have the capital to buy the materials for seventy source weapons.
He needed to find a way to earn money.
Yun Yingzhi first bought twenty boxes. He would deal with the rest after he manufactured more weapons. Since it was a year-end special, the “Buy One, Get One” promotion should theoretically last for a while.
Each box was only about the size of a palm, so stacking them didn’t take up much space.
After paying, Yun Yingzhi returned to Fanse Academy with the twenty gift boxes.
The time was around three in the afternoon.
His three roommates were out. Since there were no classes in the afternoon, he guessed they might have gone to the training hall.
He put the gift boxes in his wardrobe and took the nine source weapons to the Source Weapon Manufacturing Department.
Entering the studio, he lined up the nine weapons and pondered: what kind of appearance should he design for them? And what kind of look would his brotherās comrades like?
His mind went blank.
After thinking for a bit, he opened his personal terminal to search, but couldn’t find anything useful.
He thought again and sent a private message to Yun Yinghui to ask about the situation.
Yun Yinghui replied: [Whatever you like.]
Yun Yingzhi: [“Whatever” is the hardest task!]
Yun Yinghui: [Zhi-zhi, then why don’t you look at the most popular source weapon designs from the last few years?]
Upon hearing this, Yun Yingzhi immediately opened his terminal to look up the most popular and well-regarded designs.
When he saw them, he was stunned.
Some of the styles were very simple and elegant, but that kind of source weapon required the foundation to be polished during the initial material processing. Therefore, the finished source weapons he had already made couldn’t be converted into simple styles. However, they could be transformed into “garish and flashy” styles.
Yun Yingzhiās eyelids jumped. They were quite pretty. He felt they would look good on a female ability warrior, but for a male warrior…
Well, they should still be okay, right?
Thinking about it, he could just replace the cute decorations like little butterflies, rabbits, and kittens that women preferred with things like superheroes and dinosaurs. That should be about right.
Considering that there would definitely be female warriors in his brotherās team as well, he decided to do half and half.
He divided the nine weapons into two groups and began his flashy exterior designs, adding superheroes with red underwear on the outside, delicate pink butterflies, and little flowers…
He worked very quickly. In less than an hour and a half, he had finished setting the appearance for all nine weapons. He also drew a “Flame God Rabbit” standing atop raging flames on the inner side. After packing them up, he returned to the dormitory.
His three roommates still hadn’t returned.
Yun Yingzhi took out nine boxes and placed the weapons inside one by one.
Just as he was about to put the last one in, the three roommates returned together.
At a glance, they saw the source weapon in his hand. Jing Haomiao said with a smile, “Yingzhi, is that a bracelet you bought?”
Yun Yingzhi froze for a moment, shook his head, and said, “This is a source weapon.”
Upon hearing this, their gazes simultaneously shifted to the packaging box, which they found somewhat peculiar.
When they thought about itāright, it was that familiar, expensive packaging.
Yun Yingzhi placed the flashy source weapon into the box and said, “Itās a source weapon made by that master I know. He asked me to help him deliver it.”
Yu Feiwen and the others thought to themselves: As expected, itās that incredibly powerful source weapon master.
Looking at the garish exterior, Yu Feiwen thought seriously: Previously, I thought the weapon the master made for me was a bit plain, but compared to this one with red butterflies and big yellow flowers, the standardized appearance suddenly seems very nice.
With something to compare it to, the world felt much more beautiful.
The three were very interested in these nine weapons, especially Ji Xiaobo and Jing Haomiao, who hadn’t received their own yet.
Yun Yingzhi comforted the two, saying they would definitely get theirs by the end of this semester.
He had already decided: he would pull more wool during the qualifying round to manufacture weapons for the two of them.
Mainly, source materials were usually expensive, and he wasn’t necessarily willing to consume a large amount of his own materials, but the qualifying round was different.
On December 10th, Yun Yingzhi went to the hospital again.
