Part 2
His mouth twitched; he was utterly speechless.
Previously, he hadn’t wanted to bring the rabbit cub to the competition mainly because he didn’t want the cub to experience “social death” when it grew up. He never expected that the one facing social death in the future wouldn’t just be the rabbit cub, but an egg cub as well.
He was so speechless.
The “loving brothers” who only acted that way when Yun Yingzhi was angry huddled together and approached him. The rabbit cub looked at him with eyes pleading for praise.
The egg cub bounced, expressing its own desire for praise.
At this moment, the livestream was completely flooded with “Hahahaha.”
Yun Yingzhi placed the two cubs into his collar and began his work.
For the rest of the time, the two cubs were exceptionally well-behaved and didn’t fight again.
What was quite subtle was that every time Yun Yingzhi changed the rabbit cub’s diaper, the egg cub would also demand a change.
What they didn’t know was that every time this happened, the livestream chat would be spammed with: [Quick, put a diaper on the little white egg!]
Master Tang and Master Ted clearly liked the two cubs very much. Every so often, they would bring over strange little toys. At first, they were very small toys that the rabbit cub could hold in its paws, but later…
The toys they brought became increasingly strange.
Sunglasses suitable for the rabbit and egg cubs, hair clips for the rabbit cub, a flower garland for the egg cub…
There was even a miniature outdoor castle and a small swimming pool suitable for the two cubs.
The two cubs were practically going wild playing in their exclusive castle.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Those who had been focusing on the cubs curiously asked how Yun Yingzhi’s results were today.
Soon, someone in the livestream compiled the data, and the result was shocking.
The Tough Guy truly was a Tough Guy. No one knew what kind of Source Weapon he intended to create, but the amount of material he had consumed today was nearly double that of yesterday.
The second day of the semi-finals passed relatively smoothly. Meanwhile, unsurprisingly, the rabbit and egg cubs became a hit.
The Los Empire protected portrait rights, but it only protected the rights of the human form, not the second form.
So, once the cubs went viral, their photos and videos instantly spread across the Star Net. Countless discussion threads were created on major platforms, and they even had fan support clubs.
Because of the “badass” cubs, Contestant A13167 once again became the focus of everyone’s attention.
It could almost be said that now, after the appearance of the two cubs, people were more curious about Yun Yingzhi’s identity than the pure attack-type Source Weapon he was going to create in the semi-finals.
Various major powers tried to look into their true identity, only to be warned and told not to pursue it further.
The major powers understood that Yun Yingzhi’s identity was definitely not simple.
But because of this, more people were curious.
Who was he?
Some people organized the key information.
A military academy student with a powerful talent for Source Weapon manufacturing, a strong physique, a violent personality, and two children?
Which student at Fanse Academy could match this information?
In the evening, Yun Yingzhi returned to the villa with the two cubs.
After having a late-night snack, Yun Yingzhi slumped on the sofa in deep thought, his mind filled with the Source Weapon he was constructing.
Suddenly, the rabbit cub’s excited “da” caught his attention.
Yun Yingzhi looked over curiously.
Beside him, Yun Yinghui was watching a video projection with the two cubs.
Yun Yingzhi’s soul shuddered, his pupils constricted, and his body subconsciously swayed.
From the corner of his eye, Yun Yinghui noticed his condition. Furrowing his brows slightly, he asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Zhizhi?”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched violently. He steadied himself and forced himself to stay calm, but his gaze involuntarily drifted back to Yun Yinghui’s open video projection.
In the video projection, a little white rabbit was beside itself with joy after winning a battle. It was radiating “happy flowers” that were almost tangible. Standing on one tiny leg with the other lifted, it spun in happy little circles.
Yun Yingzhi felt that the rabbit—his own rabbit form—looked particularly “silly” in the video.
What made him even more distraught was that, unlike him, the two cubs clearly loved the scene in the video.
The rabbit cub imitated the white rabbit, spinning in circles with such vivid accuracy that it wasn’t just a resemblance—it was identical.
Looking at it, it seemed the rabbit cub had taken the silly white rabbit as its life goal.
Then he looked at the egg cub, which was also spinning in circles.
Looking at the egg cub’s form, it seemed it only regretted not having two feet to show off its skills.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Wait, he had clearly contacted the Yaoming Battle Arena to take down his battle videos earlier. So how did Yun Yinghui get this video?
Yun Yinghui suddenly said, “How cute.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi’s gaze shifted guiltily left and right.
Yun Yinghui played the video again.
In the footage, a white, small, soft ball of fluff was clinging to a tall ability warrior.
It had to be said that if one only looked at the image, the scene was exceptionally cute.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched again, his cheeks flushed red, his head seemed to smoke, and his heart tightened.
The two battle cubs were excited. The rabbit cub made “da-da-da” noises at random, then looked at the ability warrior in the video and let out “ao-ao-ao” roars.
The egg cub was just like the rabbit cub, bouncing and spinning in circles.
And then…
In the video, the white rabbit kicked the air to gain momentum and slammed the opponent down…
The behavior of the white rabbit in the video was perfectly synchronized with the rabbit and egg cubs outside.
Yes, they were all spinning in happy circles.
Out of shame, Yun Yingzhi’s whole body turned red. His toes curled into the floor; he felt he could dig out an entire imperial palace right now.
The rabbit cub waved its little paws: “Ao-ao-da-da-ao-ao!”
The egg cub kept bouncing on Yun Yinghui.
Seeing the excited look of the two cubs, Yun Yingzhi had a bad premonition.
Yun Yinghui followed Yun Yingzhi’s gaze, the corners of his lips curving up as he said, “Jiaojiao and Taotao said they want to go play with Papa.”
Yun Yingzhi forced himself to stay calm and said, “The white rabbit in the video is really just a coincidence. It’s just a very weak white rabbit; it’s actually not suitable for the battle arena.”
Following Yun Yingzhi’s words, the video projection switched to the next battle.
The white rabbit in the projection lit up an inscription, and twelve large cannon barrels appeared in the air.
The white rabbit wore a “fierce” rabbit face, and its little paw pointed at the opposing ability warrior.
Clearly, both battle cubs had seen this video. The already excited cubs became even more manic, imitating the white rabbit’s actions—one barking wildly, the other bouncing randomly.
Under Yun Yinghui’s gaze, Yun Yingzhi picked up the two cubs and fled in panic.
The rabbit cub: “Da?”
Yun Yinghui called out Yun Yingzhi’s name.
Yun Yingzhi sniffled and turned back to look at Yun Yinghui with a look of grievance. After a moment, he said, “It’s—it’s just that, Brother, you know too that there are many newcomers at the Yaoming Battle Arena. Those newcomers are actually quite weak.”
Yun Yinghui gave an “Mm” and said, “Jiaojiao and Taotao want to go with you.”
Yun Yingzhi thought: I should probably try not to go anymore in the future.
It was embarrassing.
The next moment, he saw Yun Yinghui rest his chin on his hand, falling into deep thought. After a moment, he said, “Next time, I’ll take you all. It looks quite interesting.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Subtly, Yun Yingzhi thought of the overwhelming cheers at the Yaoming Battle Arena.
[Let the white rabbit win!]
[Let the white rabbit spin in circles on one foot!]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi: “…………”
He felt that if this embarrassing persona ever got out, his mental state would completely collapse.
If all else failed, he would just take the two cubs to a foreign planet to farm.
January 3rd.
A piece of news spread through the major families of the Imperial Star: a new owner had moved into the central area of the Yunhai Villa District.
The villas in the central area were the largest and best in the entire district.
In the past, countless people had wanted to buy them but were always refused by the developer. No one knew who had moved in now.
It was also on the noon of this day that another piece of news spread across the Los Empire.
Currently, the battle on the front lines at Bingying Star had concluded. All Zerg forces had been trapped and killed, resulting in an absolute victory.
It was said that the reason the battle on Bingying Star concluded so smoothly was mainly due to the appearance of a mysterious Source Weapon. Its effect was a mystery, but according to rumors from small sources, this Source Weapon was related to Contestant A13167 of the Star Brilliance Competition.
However, the exact nature of the relationship was unknown.
Yun Yingzhi remained oblivious to external matters. Currently, his mind was entirely focused on researching the new Source Weapon. He conducted a massive amount of trials every day, finding the cause after each failure before continuing to try.
The difficulty of manufacturing this Source Weapon was far greater than in the past.
In the past, even if the Source Weapons he made had unique effects, the method of activating the inscriptions and using them was actually the same. He had always been optimizing existing patterns. But this time was different; he was truly taking a path unlike anything in the past. Without any experience from predecessors to draw upon, it was destined to be fraught with difficulties.
On the seventh day of the semi-finals, Yun Yingzhi finally designed the complete inscription.
It felt feasible; he felt his thinking wasn’t wrong, but the area covered by the inscription was too small.
Currently, Yun Yingyao was on the trial planet, Shaluo Star.
Shaluo Star was fraught with danger. During certain periods, the battlefield would sweep across the entire trial planet.
Considering the worst-case scenario, Yun Yingzhi thought the range of the Source Weapon’s attack should ideally cover an entire living planet.
Of course, with his current abilities, wanting to achieve this step was no different from a pipe dream. However, even if he couldn’t do a living planet, a large base should be possible, right?
One main control Source Weapon and auxiliary weapons—it would be best if they could be set to an infinite number, the more the better.
The eighth day of the semi-finals.
In a trial manner, Yun Yingzhi completed a Level 6 main control Source Weapon, then manufactured twelve auxiliary ones.
Then he fell into deep thought.
The main control Source Weapon represented the strength of the output.
Suppose the main control was only Level 6; the stronger the ability warrior controlling the auxiliary weapons, the more restrictions the output would face.
Yun Yingzhi was a bit dissatisfied.
In his view, this set consisting of one main control and twelve auxiliary Source Weapons might not be very effective on Shaluo Star.
He felt it would be more practical to just let His Royal Highness Elvis use his abilities directly.
Yun Yingzhi, who had no idea how world-shaking the Source Weapons he created were, put the entire set aside, opened his terminal, and began a more complex design.
The main control Source Weapon was temporarily designed as Level 7.
The main control Source Weapon only had one simple type of inscription, so the difficulty of control wasn’t high. Operating it across levels shouldn’t be difficult.
Next were the auxiliary Source Weapons. How many should he make?
Yun Yingzhi checked the time.
Today was the 8th. The last day of the semi-finals was the 15th. Not counting today, there were seven days left.
Using an assembly-line method, at his speed and with the egg cub’s help, he could manufacture about thirty auxiliary Source Weapons a day.
Seven days would be… 210?
1 main control and 210 auxiliary weapons to cover a base should be more than enough.
Yun Yingzhi looked at the two little cubs.
At this moment, the two cubs were lying on the sofa chairs Master Tang had specifically brought for them. Wearing diapers and sunglasses, they were basking in artificial sunlight, looking exceptionally cozy.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
That looks so comfortable.
He subtly wanted to join the two cubs and enjoy the good life, but it wasn’t possible yet. He was busy.
Yun Yingzhi grabbed the egg cub and began his daily routine of directing “child labor.”
