Part 2
Master Tang: “We’ll let you buy on credit for now.”
Yun Yingzhi thanked him with genuine sincerity.
After this small interlude, Yun Yingzhi continued to purchase materials on credit and resumed mass-producing auxiliary source weapons on his assembly line.
The thirteenth day of the semi-finals.
Yun Yingzhi thought that with only three days left until the end of the competition, he would stop bringing the two cubs to the venue.
For the final three days, he wanted to make a final sprint.
Yun Yingzhi arrived at the venue alone.
From time to time, people asked why he hadn’t brought the two cubs. Yun Yingzhi gave perfunctory replies.
What was slightly strange was that Master Tang and Master Ted asked him multiple times why the cubs weren’t there. They even asked if he would bring them the next day.
Yun Yingzhi shook his head. “No.” He refused decisively.
Sure enough, without the two cubs, Yun Yingzhi’s state of mind was exceptionally good today.
However, before he left that evening, the two masters stopped him.
Master Tang informed him that his tips for the day were very low.
Yun Yingzhi felt a bit disappointed, but he felt it was out of his control.
Master Ted added from the side, “Many people are saying that if you don’t bring Jiaojiao and Taotao tomorrow, they won’t tip you ever again.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…” Huh?
Master Tang then delivered the finishing blow: “They also said that if you bring Jiaojiao and Taotao tomorrow, they’ll give you ten times the tips.”
Yun Yingzhi was extremely tempted.
With a heavy heart, Yun Yingzhi returned home.
Having not seen him for a full day, the two cubs immediately clung to him. The rabbit cub was so aggrieved that tears were falling in large droplets.
On the morning of the fourteenth day, after much contemplation, Yun Yingzhi brought the two cubs back to the competition grounds.
After a day’s absence, the two cubs warmly greeted Master Tang and Master Ted. They then settled onto their miniature sofa chairs, wearing their sunglasses and basking under the artificial sun.
The rabbit cub, in particular, lay spread-eagled, clutching a milk bottle with his little paws.
On the fifteenth day, the final day of the semi-finals, at 8:50 PM, Yun Yingzhi finally stopped manufacturing source weapons.
1 main control source weapon and 198 auxiliary units—a total of exactly 199.
Yun Yingzhi took out a bag he had prepared earlier and dumped all the source weapons inside. The metal made a series of clinking and clanking sounds as they collided.
Several people looked over curiously before returning to their own tasks.
At 9:00 PM sharp, the buzzer sounded. All participants stopped what they were doing.
Staff members stepped forward to collect the works of every source weapon manufacturer from the semi-finals.
The staff member couldn’t help but keep staring at the two cubs tucked into Yun Yingzhi’s collar.
Sensing his gaze, the rabbit cub waved a little paw at him.
The staff member felt his heart melting; they were simply too cute.
Yun Yingzhi handed over the set he had made earlier that he wasn’t fully satisfied with—one Level 6 main control and twelve auxiliaries, making a complete set of thirteen pieces.
The staff member paused and asked, “Of these thirteen weapons, which one do you wish to submit for the semi-finals?”
“These thirteen form one single set,” Yun Yingzhi said.
The staff member could hardly believe his ears. This was the first time he had heard of calculating source weapons by the “set.”
Yun Yingzhi then asked, “I need to write down the weapon skills just like the preliminary requirements, right?”
Inside Yun Yingzhi’s collar, the rabbit cub rubbed his eyes with his paws; he was clearly sleepy.
The staff member thought how adorable in his head and nodded. “Yes, that’s correct.”
Once everything was settled, Yun Yingzhi hurriedly left with the two cubs. He was in a rush, mainly because he wanted to mail the large set of source weapons to Shaluo Star as quickly as possible.
In the parking lot, Yun Yinghui had been waiting for a long time.
Before going home, Yun Yingzhi asked Yun Yinghui to stop the hovercar near a 24-hour convenience store. He handed the two cubs to Yun Yinghui, got out, and entered the store.
Inside the store, the self-service courier terminal displayed a prompt: unless authorized, packages could not be sent to Shaluo Star.
Yun Yingzhi was stunned. Elvis had clearly told him that he could.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Yingzhi messaged Yun Yinghui, asking why he couldn’t send a package to Shaluo Star.
A moment later, Yun Yinghui called him.
Once the call connected, Yun Yinghui explained the reason.
Shaluo Star was a trial planet and full of danger. Most packages sent there were destroyed mid-transit before they could arrive. Therefore, major courier companies refused to accept shipments to dangerous zones.
Yun Yingzhi said, “But His Royal Highness Elvis said I could send a package there.”
Yun Yinghui frowned. “Are you still in contact with His Royal Highness?”
Yun Yingzhi suddenly realized that while Elvis used to contact him every day, he hadn’t heard from him at all in the last few days.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched. Had something happened on Shaluo Star?
Yun Yinghui spoke again. “Zhizhi, have you been in contact with the Prince this whole time?”
Yun Yingzhi snapped out of it and denied it. “No, I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time.” He then asked, “But I think I heard the Prince say before that packages can indeed be sent to Shaluo Star.”
Yun Yinghui said, “The Prince’s status is different.”
Yun Yingzhi thought for a bit and asked, “Can’t I send it to someone else?”
“Currently, Shaluo Star is under the jurisdiction of Admiral Huai.”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched violently. He felt quite unwell; he didn’t want any involvement with the Huai family right now.
After some thought, Yun Yingzhi decided it would be better to just send the set of source weapons to Prince Elvis directly. He asked, “Then can Brother help me send a package to Prince Elvis?”
Yun Yinghui’s gaze instantly became sharp.
Yun Yingzhi explained, “Brother, don’t misunderstand. This is a set of source weapons I intend to lend to Yingyao.”
Yun Yinghui: “…”
Yun Yinghui thought to himself that this “lending” was quite clever. He could only say that his younger brother was truly worthy of being a wool-plucker.
Yun Yinghui grunted an “alright.”
Yun Yinghui was extremely efficient and sent the source weapons out that very night.
It was marked as top-priority express.
Items could be sent via spatial pathways established by spatial ability users. As long as enough money was paid, a package from the Capital Star to Shaluo Star could arrive in as little as 36 hours.
Yun Yinghui didn’t hesitate to spend a large sum of money to ensure the fastest possible transmission.
Once everything was handled, the two returned to the villa with the cubs.
The villa was now occupied by many staff members.
All of them had signed non-disclosure agreements with Yun Yinghui, swearing never to reveal the secrets here, including the existence of the two cubs.
Yun Yingzhi rubbed his sleepy eyes and headed upstairs with the cubs.
Suddenly, his steps faltered. He scanned his surroundings before continuing upstairs.
As a military academy student, his perception was quite keen. He felt that…
The butler, servants, and even the driver and gardener Yun Yinghui had hired were definitely not simple.
He felt that regardless of gender, every single one of them was a powerful expert.
On second thought, it made sense.
He guessed that Yun Yinghui was worried about him or the cubs being bullied, so he had specifically hired these experts to protect them.
But…
The wages must be incredibly expensive, right? Could he afford their salaries?
He really needed to make more money.
Yun Yingzhi felt a wave of grief and decided to sleep on it.
During the entire semi-finals, he hadn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep. Whether his eyes were open or closed, he was thinking about how to better copy Prince Elvis’s abilities.
His Highness’s abilities were truly incredible.
He was so envious.
Before going to bed, Yun Yingzhi opened his personal terminal.
After hesitating, he sent a question mark to both Yun Yingyao and Prince Elvis.
He received no reply.
It was normal; the signal on Shaluo Star was notoriously unstable.
It should be fine.
The semi-finals lasted from January 1st to January 15th, a total of 15 days. After the round ended, all source weapons entered the appraisal phase.
The quality of source weapons in the semi-finals was far higher than in the preliminaries, so they required a more detailed appraisal.
First, the organizers would spend three days conducting appraisals. Then, based on serial numbers, the public live-streamed appraisals would begin on January 19th.
On the day the round ended, Yun Yingzhi collapsed onto his bed.
He slept all the way until the afternoon of the 16th.
The two cubs occasionally patted him or even jumped on him like they were at a disco, trying to wake him up, but Yun Yingzhi remained in a deep slumber.
The worried cubs went to find Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yinghui specifically called a family doctor, who concluded that Yun Yingzhi was perfectly healthy—he was simply catching up on sleep.
On the evening of January 16th, Yun Yingzhi woke up from hunger.
After eating, he opened his terminal. The messages he had sent to Elvis and Yun Yingyao still had no response.
He told himself once again that the signal base stations on Shaluo Star were often attacked, so…
There shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Yun Yingzhi sincerely hoped nothing had gone wrong.
After eating, he fell back into a deep sleep.
On January 17th, Yun Yingzhi was still groggy and in “sleep mode.”
The two cubs now knew that their father was an expert sleeper, so they weren’t as worried, but they still went to complain to Yun Yinghui.
Since they couldn’t wake him up, they pinned their hopes on Yun Yinghui.
After forcibly dragging Yun Yinghui into Yun Yingzhi’s room, the egg cub bounced up and down on Yun Yinghui’s hand, urging him to wake his father.
The rabbit cub sprawled his entire body over Yun Yingzhi’s cheek, trying to rouse him.
Yun Yingzhi reached out, stuffed the rabbit cub into his collar, pulled up the blanket, and continued sleeping.
The rabbit cub scrambled out from under the blanket in a disheveled mess, shaking his fur.
After a moment’s thought, the rabbit cub sprawled back onto Yun Yingzhi’s face.
Yun Yinghui caught the egg cub with one hand and picked up the rabbit cub by the scruff of the neck with the other. He said, “Your daddy hasn’t had a good sleep in a long time. Don’t disturb him, okay?”
The rabbit cub flailed his paws and little feet, refusing to give up: “Da!”
The egg cub used spatial teleportation to blink onto Yun Yingzhi’s chest, desperately wanting to wake him up.
Yun Yinghui lowered his voice and said, “Be good, and I’ll let you watch The Little Battle Bunny.”
Eerily, the two cubs’ movements stopped in unison.
Then, happy little bubbles began to pop around the rabbit cub, and he let out a soft, sweet “Da~” with a rising tone, sounding like he was acting spoiled.
The egg cub used his spatial ability to teleport back into Yun Yinghui’s hand.
In his sleep, Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid gave a heavy twitch.
Yun Yinghui stepped lightly and led the two cubs out of the room.
January 18th.
After sleeping for three consecutive days, Yun Yingzhi finally woke up.
It was also on this evening that he received a notification from the Star Glory organizers. The source weapons he had manufactured had successfully advanced. The appraisal time arranged by the organizers was around 11:00 AM on January 20th—the day after tomorrow. It was best for the testers to arrive at the testing grounds before 9:00 AM that day.
On the night of January 19th.
Yun Yingzhi still hadn’t received a reply from Yun Yingyao or Prince Elvis.
However, there was some good news that night.
At 10:00 PM, according to the logistics tracking, the status of the package he sent to Shaluo Star changed to “Signed For.”
The person on the other end should have received the package.
But…
Yun Yingzhi fell into a state of confusion.
Since he couldn’t get in touch with Prince Elvis, would the Prince think…
That the package was a gift for him?
Hmm?
