Chapter Index

    It’s really asking for it.

    The system never expected that as soon as Rong Ziyan switched to the new map and met a group of great senior brothers for the first time, he would expose his extremely cunning nature. It felt like a beating was inevitable.

    However, Rong Ziyan naturally started talking to the people in front of him, “The name is a bit strange, but the effect is good. It was an unexpected find.”

    He had just taken the time to look at the item details.

    Little Overlord Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo: Carefully selected medicinal herbs and grains are infused into the liquid, professionally preventing hair loss for two hundred years. A rare hair growth product specially formulated by the Supreme Lord Lao-tzu for bald immortals with a lifespan of a hundred years, continuous use can quickly restore your original flowing hair.

    Looking at the senior brothers in front of Rong Ziyan, they were clearly just entering the category of hair loss and were still some distance away from being bald. It was conceivable that this would have miraculous effects.

    And Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers were also amazing people. After a brief moment of awkwardness, they directly accepted the premise of Rong Ziyan giving away anti-hair loss shampoo, and naturally understood that Rong Ziyan’s thick hair was because he used this anti-hair loss shampoo.

    As a result, their gratitude levels exploded, and some who were naturally familiar even took the initiative to put their arms around Rong Ziyan’s shoulders.

    “Little junior brother, don’t worry, we senior brothers will protect you in future studies!” The tone was very sincere, but for some reason, the action was a little like a hooligan, not at all like the distinguished figures who had walked over earlier.

    System: Isn’t something not right?

    Rong Ziyan was also a bit strange.

    But after entering the research institute, this strange feeling became even stronger. Rong Ziyan discovered that when they walked on the road, other researchers greeted them, but they clearly didn’t want to hang out with them.

    Some even avoided them.

    Seeming to see the confusion on Rong Ziyan’s face, the closest senior brother said to him, “Hey, you’ll get used to it.”

    It turned out that although this research institute was under Boss Fat’s name, almost every staff member could call him teacher.

    But even though they were all calling him teacher, there was still a difference in closeness. People like Rong Ziyan who were direct graduate or doctoral students were considered direct lines. The rest mostly did more basic work and rarely participated in core experiments.

    “Actually, our institute has always lacked people, and several projects can’t find a lead, so we can’t follow up at the same time. Your arrival has solved a big problem for the old man.”

    “Then why do they seem so reluctant to pay attention to us?”

    “Not really! It’s just that there’s not much private interaction. It’s normal for lab work, it’s fine.”

    “That’s right! Don’t worry,” another senior brother also chimed in, “The old man has high standards, the research in the institute is paramount. Anyone who causes trouble, no matter how big their contribution or how high their ability, will be kicked out immediately.”

    “The master said that internal saboteurs are all useless, and he despises them the most!”

    “So little junior brother, we’ll have to rely on your guidance in the future!”

    Birds of a feather flock together. Boss Fat himself was a free-spirited person, and Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers were also very lively types. Before long, they had become very familiar with Rong Ziyan.

    They all patted their chests and promised that as long as the shampoo worked, Rong Ziyan would be their precious treasure from then on.

    System: So, ultimately, it’s the shampoo that won?

    Rong Ziyan: Yeah, it should be.

    System: So why are humans so obsessed with hair?

    Rong Ziyan: When you have hair, you’ll understand the joy of having hair.

    System: …

    The system felt it was being treated like a dog, became depressed again, and didn’t want to talk to the dog host anymore.

    Rong Ziyan didn’t have a chance to coax it. Instead, he was busy settling into his dormitory under the arrangement of his senior brothers.

    Perhaps because of the consideration that Rong Ziyan didn’t have a home in Beijing, the research institute directly arranged for Rong Ziyan a room with a yard on the first floor.

    The room was designed as an open-plan layout. Although there were no walls to separate the areas, furniture was used to divide the living room, kitchen, and bedroom areas. The advantage was that it was spacious and bright. In the morning, when the sun shone in, the whole room was very bright.

    The small courtyard was also very thoughtfully arranged.

    There weren’t too many complex and difficult-to-care-for flowers and plants, but rather mostly practical vegetables. There was also a goose coop in the corner.

    Rong Ziyan’s gaggle of geese happened to live in it.

    In their new home, the geese excitedly ran around in the vegetable garden. Some who loved to show off even knew how to pick up small flowers and give them to Rong Ziyan.

    “We can live with our handsome dad every day now, it’s really so blissful!” In an instant, countless little hearts flew out of the geese and accurately landed around Rong Ziyan.

    Rong Ziyan petted them one by one and fed them some food. Then he went inside to continue packing. He didn’t have much luggage, so it was all sorted out in a short while.

    Once everything was done, Rong Ziyan sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water, planning to take a break. However, there was another knock at the door.

    “Who is it?” Rong Ziyan opened the door and saw a gentle-looking man standing outside.

    He was probably around thirty years old, with delicate features and very gentle eyes. In short, he was someone who made people feel comfortable no matter what angle you looked at him from.

    He was also sizing up Rong Ziyan. After looking him over, he smiled, “I just came out of the lab and heard a few young ladies say that the teacher’s newly recruited junior brother is especially good-looking. I said that those few who are usually the most defiant were speechless. It turns out the difference is too big.”

    “I’m your eldest senior brother. I couldn’t get away from my experiment this afternoon, so I only came over now. The room was arranged by the teacher, what do you think? Is there anything you’re not comfortable with?”

    Rong Ziyan’s eldest senior brother was very considerate of Rong Ziyan’s feelings.

    Although he had heard a lot from the teacher and had seen Rong Ziyan’s moments, he had always thought that Rong Ziyan was a more free-spirited young man. After all, he was also young.

    But now that they met, it was a bit different from what he had imagined. After all, Rong Ziyan looked particularly calm, and it was hard to imagine him being a WeChat business person who posted small advertisements in his moments.

    However, Rong Ziyan still couldn’t help but sigh.

    System: What’s wrong? Not getting along?

    Rong Ziyan: It’s not that. It’s just that the eldest senior brother has such thick hair, so I can’t give him the shampoo!

    System: …

    He was right. Moreover, Rong Ziyan’s eldest senior brother seemed very reliable. Not only was his demeanor gentle, but he was also very elite and steady.

    The system felt that this was the first normal person it had seen since Rong Ziyan came here.

    Rong Ziyan’s geese felt the same way as the system.

    Although the previous uncles had good facial features, their hair was sparse. But this one was different, not only did he look better than the previous ones, but his hair was also very lush!

    It suited the geese’s aesthetics very well.

    Therefore, Rong Ziyan’s gaggle of geese, who were all about appearance, quickly went forward and actively approached the eldest senior brother.

    The eldest senior brother was also a veterinarian, and he had a natural liking for these fluffy little animals. He looked at each one very patiently and even did a simple physical check on the geese.

    “As expected, the handsome uncle is the best!” The geese’s goodwill towards the eldest senior brother soared, and some of the bolder ones even took the initiative to rub against the senior brother’s face.

    The room was filled with joy and harmony.

    However, due to the fact that every goose wanted to get close to the handsome uncle, a crowd formed.

    Some goose accidentally bit the hair on top of the eldest senior brother’s head.

    Then, a well-made wig fell to the ground.

    In an instant, the entire room became quiet.

    Without his hair, the eldest senior brother seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

    He touched his slightly cool head, smiled awkwardly and kindly at Rong Ziyan.

    Rong Ziyan was silent for two seconds, pushed aside the geese who were already frozen in place, and handed over a bottle of Little Overlord Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo.

    “Thank you!” The eldest senior brother, thinking that he had a way out, happily accepted the little junior brother’s kindness. Then, using Rong Ziyan’s mirror, he put on his wig again. After telling him about the dinner party that evening, he left happily.

    At the same time, he had a completely changed impression of Rong Ziyan. He thought that Rong Ziyan was indeed a gentle and considerate good boy.

    System: What a beautiful misunderstanding!

    Rong Ziyan checked his inventory: Yes, the shampoo was all given away, it wasn’t wasted after all.

    The system was silent, already foreseeing the tragic experiences the eldest senior brother would have later.

    However, what followed was even more speechless for the system.

    Who could have imagined that none of Boss Fat’s disciples were normal.

    Most had already seen the true colors of Rong Ziyan, so during the dinner party that night, everyone who had been neatly dressed during the day had changed into their usual clothes. Even Boss Fat himself came in wearing slippers.

    With his bare feet, he had none of the refined elegance of a big name in the scientific research community. Coupled with Rong Ziyan’s bald senior brothers, no matter how you looked at them, they looked like a group of demons and ghosts.

    All the researchers who came to the cafeteria to eat saw them and quietly walked around them.

    Rong Ziyan sat among them, also rare to feel his difference.

    However, soon the dishes were served, and the small wine that was also brought up opened everyone’s floodgates of words.

    Leaving aside their unreliable appearances, whether it was Boss Fat or Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers, they were all people who had something to say.

    At the dinner table, everyone talked about everything under the sun, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. And Rong Ziyan quickly integrated into it and was very successfully and thoroughly accepted by everyone.

    After all, who doesn’t like a well-behaved, quiet, smart, talented, and very handsome little junior brother!

    Therefore, after everyone was full and had had their fill of wine, several senior brothers who were more familiar with Rong Ziyan planned to go to Rong Ziyan’s room for a second round.

    Boss Fat also wanted to follow, but he was quickly chased back to his room by the eldest senior brother with the very effective reason of ‘old people shouldn’t mess around’.

    When the eldest senior brother watched Boss Fat get into bed and then returned to Rong Ziyan’s room, Rong Ziyan and three other senior brothers had already logged into Honor of Kings and were just waiting for the eldest senior brother.

    After entering the room, the eldest senior brother glanced at their Honor of Kings IDs.

    Rong Ziyan’s was, ‘Just Want to Be Your Little Yao’. The other three’s were, ‘Pink Little Fairy’, ‘Don’t Eat Bunny’, and ‘Cute Meow Meow Must Stand Up’…

    Each was filled with pink bubbles.

    The eldest senior brother blinked and decisively switched to a small account to join the team. Everyone looked at his ID, ‘Sweet Soft Baby Girl Heart’.

    Everyone looked at each other and smiled, everything was unspoken.
