Chapter 62: Establishing a New Life Goal part 1
Everyone felt that Yun Yingzhi’s logic for shifting the blame actually made a lot of sense.
Yun Yingzhi continued, “Madam Huai, I hope you understand that I am an independent individual. You are not anyone to me; you have no right to point fingers and dictate my life.” After a pause, he added, “Furthermore, I hope you understand my current status!”
His chin tilted up slightly, and his face shone with pride. “Right now, I am hailed as the most talented source weapon manufacturer in the Empire.”
“Let me be clear: none of the source weapons I manufacture, nor any inscriptions registered under my name, will ever be provided to the five major legions commanded by Admiral Huai or Admiral Yun.” After a brief pause, he continued, “I don’t know what you’re so proud of or what you’re gloating about, but I hope you are prepared. In the near future, I will definitely become the most powerful Admiral in the Empire. At that time, I will leave both Admiral Yun and Admiral Huai far in the dust!”
This was his new goal in life.
Yun Yingzhi added, “Thank you for your arrogance; it helped me establish a new purpose for my future.”
Having delivered these infuriating words with the precision of a “Warplane” of verbal rebuttals, he turned and strode grandly into the Source Weapon Association.
Behind him, the entire area fell into a dead silence.
In the crowd, someone eventually spoke up: “Um, just now… I only brushed against him. I mean, it was really light, and he just… fell over?”
“No, wait—does he actually believe that just because he smashed one low-quality workbench, he has the strength to become an Admiral?”
“Instead of the Combat Department, shouldn’t he have entered the Source Weapon Manufacturing Department?”
“How detestable! Admiral Yun and his wife are truly leading people astray!”
As the crowd spoke, their expressions turned subtle as they looked toward Madam Huai.
Someone lowered their voice and muttered, “If Madam Huai hadn’t leaked the news of Yun Yingzhi’s pregnancy, the Yun family wouldn’t have ended up in this mess, right?”
“Besides that, I’m more interested in why Yun Yingzhi is at the Source Weapon Association.”
“I heard through the grapevine that the source weapons he mass-produced in the preliminaries were very special. The Association plans to use them as a base to optimize a very powerful series of source weapons. If they succeed, it will bring huge changes to our lives.”
“Wow! If Yun Yingzhi wasn’t involved, I’d think they were buff-type weapons. but with him involved, all I can think of are attack-type weapons.”
“Exactly. He looks harmless, but his head is truly full of nothing but combat. He’s just like Jiaojiao and Taotao.”
“But looking at it from that perspective, maybe a Yun Yingzhi like this really could establish a powerful legion?”
The crowd instinctively began to fantasize.
For example…
A legion equipped with a large-scale spatial-cutting series set. Every squad equipped with a water-element “Defense Series” weapon. Every warrior possessing several of the pure attack-type weapons that appeared in the preliminaries…
Then they recalled the speed at which Yun Yingzhi manufactured weapons.
Everyone’s spirits jolted. Suddenly, they felt that such a legion would be terrifyingly powerful—practically an invincible god-tier squad.
In the crowd, someone remarked, “So fierce.”
“But I love it.”
“I’m actually looking forward to it…?”
“It sounds incredibly impressive!”
“Will the ‘Ultimate Human Scumbag’ surpass Admiral Yun and Admiral Huai in the near future?”
Madam Huai: “…”
She was angry. Very angry!
Madam Huai was trembling with rage.
Yun Yingzhi entered the Source Weapon Association surrounded by staff members.
His hat and mask had already been knocked off, but he was still wearing his self-deceiving Red Peony three-piece set, which looked exceptionally out of place.
Before entering the conference room, Yun Yingzhi went to the restroom. He needed to calm his nerves.
Confirming no one was inside, he looked in the mirror. If he had known his hat and mask would be knocked off in public, he wouldn’t have worn the Red Peony set. After all…
Thinking about it, most people could probably guess exactly what state of mind he was in to keep wearing it.
It was so embarrassing.
Forget it, forget it. Don’t think about it.
With a red face, he dialed Yun Yinghui.
His brother answered the video call almost immediately. Currently, Yun Yinghui was sitting in a high-tier VIP lounge at the Yaoming Battle Arena with the two cubs, waiting for a match.
Yun Yinghui wore a hat and mask that covered most of his face. The rabbit cub was clutching the egg cub as they hid in Yun Yinghui’s collar, shivering.
Seeing Yun Yingzhi on the screen, the two cubs immediately greeted him, “Da-ing” and “bouncing” as they began to file their complaints.
Yun Yinghui briefly explained that the cubs loved the arena. When they fought each other, they could turn the world upside down, but the moment they faced an attack from an opposing warrior, they became so scared they shivered.
They were still too small.
However, even that couldn’t stop the cubs’ determination to be on the battlefield.
Yun Yinghui then asked, “Zhizhi, how are things on your end today?”
Yun Yingzhi pouted and said aggrievedly, “Brother, I ran into Madam Huai. I’ve lost all the face I had left.”
For a moment, Yun Yinghui didn’t know how to comfort him.
Yun Yingzhi said with a serious expression, “Madam Huai taught me a very important lesson. I thought about it, and I’ve suddenly had an awakening. I think Madam Huai is right!”
“…What?” Yun Yinghui’s eyelid twitched. He felt like his brother’s thoughts might have taken a wrong turn.
Yun Yingzhi: “As long as I become invincible, everyone will be brainwashed. They’ll forget the past me and only remember the future me!”
“…The future you?”
Yun Yingzhi nodded heavily. “Yes! The future me will become one of the five Great Admirals of the Empire!”
Yun Yinghui: “…”
Currently, the Empire only had four Admirals.
Yun Yingzhi: “No, make that one of the six Great Admirals.” He said earnestly, “Brother and I will become the two strongest Admirals in the Empire together!”
Yun Yinghui: “…”
Yun Yinghui thought to himself that he really should thank his “little angel” brother. To think he was included in his future dream, and as one of the six Great Admirals at that.
Yun Yingzhi: “Brother, I feel this is a proactive and valuable outlook on life!”
Yun Yinghui thought: It’s also an outlook where your head is entirely full of combat.
More than that, he felt Yun Yingzhi wasn’t suited for this path, nor did he want his brother to walk this thorny road. He couldn’t bear it.
He needed to think of a way to persuade his brother to give up.
However, Yun Yingzhi didn’t give him the chance. He bid his brother goodbye, waved to the cubs, and hung up.
Stepping out of the restroom, Yun Yingzhi was led into the conference room by the staff.
The room was filled with source weapon manufacturers.
They had gathered here specifically to optimize the inscriptions.
Among them, Yun Yingzhi recognized three Grandmasters, over a dozen Masters, and several high-level manufacturers.
The Grandmasters and Masters were the primary researchers, while the high-level manufacturers were there to assist.
Everyone looked at Yun Yingzhi with curiosity.
It had to be said that on January 20th, when Participant A13167’s true identity was exposed, everyone was shocked.
Even now, many found it hard to believe.
These high-status manufacturers had spent the night searching for information about Yun Yingzhi, and the more they read, the more stunned they became.
Yun Yingzhi bowed politely to the group before being led to an empty seat.
The vast majority looked at him with admiration, but a few elders looked at him with clear prejudice.
The group went straight into the discussion phase.
A white-haired elder said, “Therefore, the best way to optimize is to expand the spatial restriction range in a segmented manner.”
“I believe that is feasible.”
“I agree.”
One by one, the experts gave their approval.
In the center of the room, a slide presentation appeared.
Complex inscriptions appeared in the images. An elder said, “Right now, what we need to do is maximize the range of the spatial restriction inscription, then activate the weapon in a way that allows for one main controller, or multiple main and auxiliary controllers.”
At this point, everyone instinctively looked at Yun Yingzhi.
The manufacturing methods and inscriptions for both types of weapons came from him. Theoretically, he was the person most likely to turn their ideas into reality in the shortest amount of time.
Sensing their gazes, Yun Yingzhi spoke up: “…Before entering the Association, I was just accused by Madam Huai.”
The group paused, looking at him with confusion.
One of the elders coughed and said, “Young man, I know you are young and spirited, but what Madam Huai said isn’t entirely without merit. After all, Admiral Yun and his wife are your parents. Your current behavior…”
Yun Yingzhi suddenly slammed the table.
This time, he restrained his strength. The table didn’t break, but the entire surface vibrated violently.
the room fell into a subtle silence.
Yun Yingzhi stood up.
The others had to look up slightly at him.
Yun Yingzhi said, “I told Madam Huai that I refuse to provide any source weapons I manufacture to the five major legions commanded by Admiral Yun or Admiral Huai.”
Everyone present: “…”
They felt that Yun Yingzhi was a bit ruthless.
However, on second thought, his current actions wouldn’t actually have a massive impact on the two Admirals. After all, the types of weapons he made hadn’t been mass-produced yet.
Yun Yingzhi continued, “Before collaborating with the Source Weapon Association, I need you to agree to my terms.”
The elder asked, “What terms?”
