Part 2
The final engraving he produced through his instinctual optimization—the strongest skill of a defense-type weapon—had…
Had turned into a “Man-Eating Fortress.” The defense weapon had become an attack weapon.
He could almost predict that when the live stream appraised this weapon’s ultimate skill, the chat would…
They would probably say that contestant A13167 was indeed brutal, just as they thought—a natural fighter. Either he was thinking about destroying the enemy every day, or he was racing down that path at full speed.
[Contestant A13167 is a violent maniac!]
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped wildly. He wasn’t that kind of person! Although he liked power-attack weapons, that didn’t stop him from being a lover of peace!
He was absolutely not a violent maniac!
Yun Yingzhi didn’t want to give everyone more chances to misunderstand him.
He looked at the “defense-type” source weapon he had created and fell into deep thought.
Checking the time, it was already eight in the evening.
So hungry!
In other words, a mere defense-type weapon had actually taken him five or six hours?
Manufacturing another one felt like life wasn’t worth the effort. With that time, he might as well make more weapons that were easier to produce.
This weapon was too troublesome and time-consuming to make, and the failure rate was high. Should he just submit this one?
However, Yun Yingzhi was a bit worried.
On one hand, he didn’t want the public to misunderstand him further; on the other hand, he felt the weapon he had made didn’t quite meet the competition’s requirements.
The requirement was an all-defense weapon. Although this one’s ultimate skill was a combat-type skill, as long as he didn’t say anything, surely…
No one would find out?
Yun Yingzhi nervously observed the source weapon.
The way to activate the final engraving was a bit complex. Unless someone was extremely well-versed in source weapon engravings, they shouldn’t be able to easily trigger it.
Good, he was relieved.
With this mindset, Yun Yingzhi started “shearing wool” in an assembly-line fashion again—no, he continued making space-limited source weapons.
Meanwhile, a crowd of people in the live stream chat was exchanging comments.
[Red Peony Big Brother took so long to make this weapon. I’m so curious about the effect!]
[As expected, Red Peony Big Brother’s ideas are brutal. He’s a natural fighter. His head is full of attack-type weapons, so defense must be his weak point, which is why it took so long.]
[Aww, no matter what, I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of weapon Big Brother made.]
[Daily question: Has any student from Fanse Academy unmasked Red Peony Big Brother today?]
[Looking forward to Big Brother being unmasked +1]
…
Along with the chat messages, many people were giving Yun Yingzhi tips.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Yingzhi had already processed a large batch of materials.
An electronic voice prompted: “All contestants, please exit the venue and return tomorrow.”
Yun Yingzhi tidied his workbench and rushed out.
He possessed a constitution far superior to ordinary people. When he focused on rushing out, the Fanse Academy students who wanted to head back with him were momentarily dazed. They instinctively tried to follow, but he vanished in an instant.
The students looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them said, “With that speed, is he perhaps a combat student?”
The venue fell silent for a moment.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve never heard of a combat student being able to crush our department in source weapon manufacturing.”
Another student added, “Then we’d be even more pathetic.”
“True.”
Yun Yingzhi missed the two little cubs.
He wondered if they had been good while he was away all day.
He first went to the hotel to change out of his padded cotton outfit before returning to the First Hospital.
It was already ten o’clock at night.
Considering the two cubs should be sleeping, Yun Yingzhi opened the ward door quietly.
Almost the instant the door opened, the little rabbit cub, who was lying sprawled on Yun Yinghui’s chest, opened its eyes and looked at Yun Yingzhi.
At the same time, the egg cub bounced in the incubator.
The two little guys were very sharp; sensing a strange aura, they woke up immediately.
The little rabbit cub’s tears went pitter-patter as it rolled off Yun Yinghui’s chest and pounced toward Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi once again demonstrated his speed to the fullest, catching the flying rabbit cub under Yun Yinghui’s speechless gaze.
Sitting in Yun Yingzhi’s palm, the rabbit cub extended its tiny paws, pointing first at Yun Yinghui and then at the door.
Yun Yingzhi had no idea what the cub was trying to express.
The egg cub manipulated its space ability and successfully escaped the incubator.
The rabbit cub’s gaze shifted to the egg cub. Its tears stopped, and it immediately cast a Space Lock skill.
Instantly, the egg cub, which had intended to use a space jump to rush toward Yun Yingzhi, was forced to stop in its tracks.
At this moment, Yun Yingzhi, Yun Yinghui, and the rabbit cub all stared at the egg cub.
Yun Yinghui marveled in his heart. The egg cub was barely born and already knew to take Yun Yingzhi into the bathroom for some alone time. Now, the rabbit cub, in order to monopolize its father’s embrace, had directly locked down the space ability to prevent the space-traversing egg cub from diving into its father’s arms.
These two were truly jealous little cubs with an intense possessiveness over their father.
The egg cub, which couldn’t speak and had no legs, bounced several times in place to show its anger.
The rabbit cub looked at the egg cub: “Awoo!”
The egg cub bounced twice more, then its round body began to roll, rolling all the way to Yun Yingzhi.
The rabbit cub stomped its feet angrily: “Awoo!”
Yun Yingzhi immediately picked up the egg cub.
The egg cub rolled and rolled until it slipped into Yun Yingzhi’s collar, with only the very tip of the egg sticking out.
The rabbit cub got even angrier. Its fur puffed up all over, and it let out several “awoos” at the egg cub.
The egg cub paused, then shifted slightly downward.
From Yun Yinghui’s perspective, the tip of the egg was no longer visible.
The rabbit cub grew even more furious and climbed up Yun Yingzhi’s arm, also crawling into the collar. Then, one rabbit and one egg—the two cubs—began fighting inside Yun Yingzhi’s clothes.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath and tried to fish out the two battling cubs, his voice stern: “No more fighting!”
Hearing this, the two cubs, who had been fighting tooth and nail, shuddered and stopped moving.
Yun Yingzhi pulled them out, holding one in each hand.
The rabbit cub looked at the egg cub: “Awoo!”
The egg cub tried to bounce, but since Yun Yingzhi was holding it, it couldn’t.
Yun Yingzhi looked at the rabbit cub and said, “Jiaojiao, you can’t growl at your brother.”
The egg cub paused, then lay belly-up in Yun Yingzhi’s hand, its dark, beady eyes meeting his as it let out a soft sound, “Da?”
Yun Yingzhi placed the egg cub back in the incubator. Then, holding the incubator and clutching the rabbit cub, he sat on the bed and looked at Yun Yinghui, asking, “Brother, were the two cubs good today?”
Yun Yinghui’s eyelids twitched as he thought of the two cubs running wild in the palace today.
He had a feeling that if this continued, His Majesty Arlyn and the Empress would spoil these two little things until they were utterly lawless—bears among bears.
Seeing that Yun Yinghui didn’t answer, Yun Yingzhi said, “They must have been naughty.”
Yun Yinghui thought that Yun Yingzhi actually had some sense after all.
Yun Yingzhi began to lecture the two cubs.
The egg cub stayed obediently in the incubator as if it were a “dead egg.” When Yun Yingzhi poked the rabbit cub with his finger, the cub immediately used its paws and legs to hug his finger, its voice soft and sweet, “Da?”
Yun Yingzhi thought to himself that even if the rabbit cub acted cute and spoiled, he had to continue the lecture.
Yun Yinghui felt that Yun Yingzhi was being too strict, but as an uncle, it wasn’t appropriate for him to discipline how Yun Yingzhi raised his children. After a pause, he said, “Zhizhi, I’ve been granted a year of leave.”
He wasn’t suited to correcting Yun Yingzhi’s parenting of two cubs who couldn’t even understand human speech yet, but he could distract him.
As Yun Yinghui expected, Yun Yingzhi’s attention was completely captured, and he looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Yun Yinghui glanced at the two cubs and added, “The Source Weapon Association hopes you can visit and join them for some exchanges.”
Yun Yingzhi’s first thought was no problem, he could do it.
His second thought was…
Wait?
