Part 3
He sensed something was slightly off. After thinking it over, he finally realized what it was.
Others might not know, but the Grandmasters and Masters of the Source Weapon Association certainly knew. He was contestant A13167 of the Xingyao Competition; after all, they could see his engravings.
Meaning, to avoid exposing his true identity, when he went to the Association, would he have to keep wearing that padded cotton three-piece outfit for the discussions?
For a moment, Yun Yingzhi wanted to bang his head against the wall. He really regretted buying that “favorite of the middle-aged and elderly” three-piece set.
Yun Yinghui asked, “Zhizhi, is that okay?”
Yun Yingzhi sniffled. Looking at Yun Yinghui, who was acting as both father and mother to him, and now father, mother, and uncle to the two cubs, he felt…
For such a small matter…
He could do it! It was no problem!
Yun Yingzhi sniffled and nodded heavily. “I think I can.”
The rabbit cub blinked, looking from Yun Yinghui to Yun Yingzhi. “Da?”
After a moment’s thought, the rabbit cub patted Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi looked down at the cub.
The rabbit cub began gesturing wildly. Yun Yingzhi didn’t understand a thing, but…
As a “male mother,” Yun Yinghui subtly understood what the cub was trying to express.
By Yun Yinghui’s interpretation, the cub was “da-da awoo-ing” to say that he had encountered two particularly powerful people today.
Those two had kneaded and squeezed him, so he “awoo-ed” at them.
The rabbit cub pointed at Yun Yinghui again.
Yun Yinghui interpreted that the cub was now saying that Yun Yinghui alone was completely unable to beat those two super-powerful people, and they needed Papa to join in to have a chance at victory.
Yun Yinghui: “…” Wait, why can I understand this cub’s “Awoo-Da” language?
What made Yun Yinghui even more speechless was that the egg cub in the incubator seemed to understand the rabbit cub too. Following the rabbit’s rhythm, it bounced every now and then as if in agreement: That’s right, that’s right, exactly like that.
Yun Yingzhi looked at Yun Yinghui with a face full of confusion. “Brother, what is Jiaojiao saying?”
Yun Yinghui, who had fully decoded the rabbit cub’s meaning, paused and said, “…I don’t know.”
Yun Yingzhi looked suspicious.
The rabbit cub grew anxious: “Da da da!”
Yun Yingzhi patted the cub’s little head. “It’s time for you to sleep.”
The rabbit cub was unwilling to give up; it still wanted to continue complaining to Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi, who had woken up early, was very tired. He tucked the rabbit cub into Yun Yinghui’s hands and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Seeing Yun Yingzhi discard the rabbit cub, the egg cub spun happily in its incubator.
Seeing this, the rabbit cub immediately climbed down from Yun Yinghui’s hands, bossily opened the incubator, and climbed inside. The cub and the egg started fighting again.
Yun Yinghui’s mouth twitched, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the two little guys.
When Yun Yingzhi finished his quick shower and came out, the rabbit cub immediately rushed up to him again, patting him and continuing its complaint.
Yun Yingzhi lay on the bed, stroking the incessantly complaining rabbit cub, and closed his eyes to sleep.
Rabbit cub: “…Da?”
The cub patted Yun Yingzhi, trying to wake him up.
It patted him again, but still failed to wake him.
The egg cub spun happily in its incubator.
The rabbit cub let out an “awoo” at the incubator, then looked at Yun Yinghui and started its “da da da” complaining all over again.
Yun Yinghui patiently tucked the rabbit cub into the crook of his own neck and said, “Yes, Uncle knows. Be good, Jiaojiao, you should sleep now.”
The rabbit cub poked its head out and started a new round of gesturing at Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yinghui very patiently tucked it back in.
Back and forth they went, and the rabbit cub’s complaint went nowhere. Eventually, unable to stay awake, it fell asleep pressed against Yun Yingzhi’s neck.
The two little guys had made such a fuss that when Yun Yingzhi left the next morning, they didn’t move an inch.
Yun Yingzhi put on his black padded cotton outfit with red peonies and arrived at the venue on time.
He didn’t waste any time and immediately began manufacturing source weapons in an assembly-line fashion.
Time passed rapidly. Over the course of the day, he manufactured twelve Level 6 source weapons.
At nine in the evening, the prompt sounded, telling all contestants to stop what they were doing.
Master Tang said, “Now, please take twenty minutes to write down the skills of your source weapons.”
Yun Yingzhi froze, not understanding why this rule had suddenly appeared.
Amidst his confusion, Master Tang explained, “During the previous qualifying round, the appraisal team failed to identify the ultimate skill in the source weapon made by contestant A13167. To avoid similar situations, starting from the preliminaries, contestants must write out every skill in detail for each source weapon to facilitate the appraisal process.”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped.
One of the rules was “all-defense type source weapon”…
He felt a bit uneasy.
But then he thought, since the appraisers couldn’t even identify the ultimate skill of that Level 4 weapon, as long as he didn’t say anything, this ultimate skill should remain hidden.
Thinking this, Yun Yingzhi felt instantly relieved.
He opened his personal terminal and began describing the source weapons as required.
[Name: N/A] [Level: 6] [Category: Defense-type Source Weapon] [Suitable Warrior: Water-element Ability User] [First Skill Name: N/A] [Effect: Deploy Defensive Water Curtain] [Second Skill Name: N/A] [Effect: …] …
In less than twenty minutes, Yun Yingzhi deliberately omitted the ultimate attack-type skill and submitted the descriptions.
A staff member came over to collect the source weapons one by one.
Notably, the staff member who took Yun Yingzhi’s weapon smiled and said, “Sir, may I ask why you didn’t come to the competition the last few days?”
Yun Yingzhi: “Huh?”
The staff member continued, “Considering the preliminary round lasts for seven days, we have specially prepared a large amount of Level 6 raw materials to make it easier for you to manufacture more weapons.”
Yun Yingzhi’s face beneath the mask turned beet red. He understood the subtext.
—We know you’re definitely going to shear the wool, so we’ve specially prepared materials for you to shear.
The live stream chat erupted in laughter.
After submitting the weapons, Yun Yingzhi ran off like the wind again, just like the day before, leaving everyone in awe of his speed.
On his way back to the hospital, the Xingyao Competition organizers contacted him.
The appraisal of source weapons would last four days, from December 28th to December 31st.
All source weapons in the preliminaries would undergo a preliminary appraisal by the organizers, and then starting at nine o’clock on the morning of the 28th, many weapons would be appraised simultaneously.
Yun Yingzhi was in the first arena. If nothing went wrong, the weapons he manufactured would be in the first batch for appraisal—which was tomorrow.
If Yun Yingzhi had a suitable warrior, he was asked to have them arrive at the appraisal site before 8:30 tomorrow morning.
Yun Yingzhi thought about it. Among Yun Yinghui’s friends, the most powerful water-type warrior was Jia Qingwan.
Grade 8, and by a very convenient coincidence, also a defense-type water warrior.
Yun Yingzhi contacted Yun Yinghui immediately and told him about it.
Yun Yinghui gave a positive reply, saying Jia Qingwan would arrive at the appraisal site on time tomorrow. He added, “Zhizhi, send the weapon’s skills to Qingwan.”
Yun Yingzhi blinked and looked at the description he had written earlier.
After double-checking, he confirmed that he indeed hadn’t written the activation method for the ultimate attack skill.
Good, nothing would go wrong. He definitely wasn’t some battle-obsessed violent rabbit!
He absolutely wouldn’t flip his car!
Yun Yingzhi confidently sent the document to Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yinghui then forwarded it to Jia Qingwan.
Everything was set; all that remained was tomorrow’s appraisal.
