    Chapter 61: Pui! You Unfilial Disciple!

    Unlike Rong Ziyan, a newbie just getting into the game, the four senior brothers were clearly veterans of the battlefield.

    However, because they didn’t have their own “wild king” support and were carrying Rong Ziyan, who was supposedly a Diamond player but was actually only Bronze level, they naturally suffered a string of three consecutive losses.

    But even though they lost the game, they had a good attitude! No matter how much the opponents mocked them, they always maintained the image of elegant and gentle beautiful girls, keeping their persona firmly in place and never collapsing.

    In the end, they didn’t win a single game the entire night, but after each game, they added the opposing “wild king” to their friend list.

    Even though the “wild kings” in the Gold tier didn’t reach the level of a wild general, the sea kings never give up on any seedling.

    Speaking of this, the eldest senior brother even sighed subtly.

    “What’s wrong?” Rong Ziyan asked, following the flow of conversation.

    The eldest senior brother hesitated for a moment, then excitedly told Rong Ziyan about his impressive battle record.

    It turned out that when the eldest senior brother first entered King’s Glory, it was also when the “Bixin” (heart-to-heart)Sparring app was just starting to become popular.

    The eldest senior brother wanted to find a “wild king” to carry him, so he took the initiative to message a few players who played Nakoruru. Only one of them replied, but he didn’t meet the requirements.

    “What do you mean?”

    “I wanted a national server Nakoruru, so I rejected him.”

    “Then what happened?”

    “I know!” another senior brother chimed in, “That guy was a bit godly! A week later, he actually managed to get his Nakoruru into the top three in the national server, and then messaged the eldest senior brother, insisting on giving him a free carry.”

    “Did you win?” Rong Ziyan inquired about the outcome.

    “Of course… not! You’ve seen it, the eldest senior brother is even worse than you!”

    But the eldest senior brother was very proud, not at all ashamed, “So what if I’m bad? I cultivated a professional wild king! To be able to carry me, the little brother contacted me day and night, and now he’s entered the professional team and become a core member.”

    Professional team? Rong Ziyan asked sensitively, “How old is he?”

    “18!”

    The System instantly felt its worldview crumble. Why would a 28-year-old man call an 18-year-old “brother”! If this “wild king” is so persistent, isn’t he afraid that one day he’ll rush over for a face-to-face meeting?

    However, what the eldest senior brother said next made the system collapse even more.

    “Actually, he knows I’m a man, we’ve voice-chatted, and he also knows my age and profession.” The eldest senior brother’s style changed, looking proud, “That doesn’t matter, after all, I’m cute!”

    System: …

    Yes, so cute! Rong Ziyan told the “wild kings” in his account that he was a man and actually twenty-four, but none of those “wild kings” believed him! They even took the initiative to comfort him, saying “Don’t be afraid, little sister, we’re not bad people.”

    Indeed, not a single dog in the family, not living in the same den.

    The system didn’t want to say anything more about them.

    Plus, it was about time, and Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers also had to go back and rest. They had their own experiments to do early the next morning.

    As for Rong Ziyan, although he didn’t have any specific work, he also had to get up early to discuss the related matters of his future research project with Boss Fat.

    Rong Ziyan was always easygoing. In addition, the atmosphere in Boss Fat’s research institute was good, and the senior brothers took care of him, so Rong Ziyan slept very peacefully that night.

    When he opened his eyes the next day, he was indeed in good spirits.

    First, he went to the yard to feed the geese, then Rong Ziyan changed his clothes and prepared to go to the cafeteria for breakfast before going to see Boss Fat.

    However, as soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Boss Fat holding a plate and arguing with the cafeteria aunt. Several staff members who also lived in the institute were surrounding them, trying to persuade the two not to be angry.

    Rong Ziyan went over to listen and realized that it was about food.

    The cafeteria uncle and Boss Fat were old friends and often chatted in private, so he knew that Boss Fat had high blood sugar.

    In middle age, it’s the most important time to take care of oneself. Looking at how many middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, who were fine a couple of days ago, suddenly had some disease and passed away.

    Therefore, the cafeteria uncle paid close attention to Boss Fat’s diet. And now, the two were arguing over the sweetness of the bean buns in the morning.

    “A perfectly good red bean filling, you put so little sugar in it, aren’t you wasting the grain that the farmers have worked so hard to grow?” Boss Fat was furious.

    The cafeteria uncle sneered, putting down his porridge ladle, “Do you add sugar to your millet porridge?”

    “…Yes.”

    “Then shut up. It’s already good enough for you to have bean buns, get out!” The uncle slammed the porridge ladle on the stainless steel food container with a bad temper.

    Boss Fat was angry but dared not speak out, looked around, saw Rong Ziyan by his side, and immediately grabbed his little disciple’s sleeve to complain.

    “Ziyan! Look at them, they’re colluding to bully your master. I’m so old, and I can’t even have something sweet.”

    Rong Ziyan observed the darkness of the lesions on his body, simply and neatly removed the fingers that were pinching his sleeve, then took his bean bun into his own bowl, and also took the millet porridge. He asked the cafeteria uncle to give Boss Fat two vegetarian buns and a bowl of soft vegetable porridge.

    Boss Fat was dumbfounded: “Damn! Whose disciple are you?”

    Rong Ziyan: “Be good. Look at that uncle, even if we combine our strengths, we can’t beat him.”

    Boss Fat was heartbroken: “But you can’t just defect to the enemy so easily! You have to put up a little resistance.”

    Rong Ziyan silently took out the suona from his backpack behind him: “Then should I try?”

    Boss Fat resolutely took a plate of green vegetables and turned to walk towards his seat: “Never mind, a great man knows when to yield.”

    He couldn’t eat sweets, so he just wanted to make a small fuss, but how did it become a situation where he was about to be sent away?

    Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at his reluctant back. The cafeteria uncle also smiled and put a perfectly fried sunny-side-up egg in Rong Ziyan’s plate.

    The meaning was, “Well done, Uncle will treat you!”

    “I should.” Rong Ziyan didn’t refuse the uncle’s kindness. After getting his food, he sat opposite Boss Fat.

    Boss Fat didn’t want to pay attention to him, but when he saw the fried egg on his plate, he coldly snorted, “Unfilial disciple.”

    Rong Ziyan held back his laughter, dividing the fried egg in half for him. Boss Fat ate it in one bite, and a smile returned to his face.

    The master and disciple began to communicate over breakfast. At first, they were a little awkward, but later they were already in sync.

    However, Boss Fat looked at Rong Ziyan with great emotion. He knew Rong Ziyan was solid and intelligent, but it was only through deeper interaction that he could see Rong Ziyan’s rarity.

    Focused, steady, and never discouraged.

    Such a personality could be said to be born for scientific research. In addition, Rong Ziyan’s personal life was also extremely monotonous. His social circle was also very ordinary, but he himself didn’t seem to think it was a kind of loneliness, but rather enjoyed this lifestyle where he could devote himself wholeheartedly to scientific research.

    This contentment with what he had also gave Rong Ziyan greater patience and courage when facing difficult projects. He would never be easily tempted by small gains, nor would he retreat because of huge difficulties.

    In due time, Rong Ziyan would definitely become one of the most outstanding young scientists in the scientific research community.

    And Boss Fat now also understood why the agricultural university tried so hard to send people to him.

    As for the troubles that Rong Ziyan had, others couldn’t solve them, but they were nothing once they came to him.

    As for that rich second-generation who was displeased with Rong Ziyan, not to mention that he was just a clown, even if his old man came, he wouldn’t be able to say anything other than apologizing.

    Thinking like this, Boss Fat patted Rong Ziyan’s shoulder, “You actually cleared up the issue of the high-interest loan a long time ago, right?”

    “Yes. I just haven’t found the evidence.” Rong Ziyan wasn’t in a hurry. After several contacts with the rich second-generation, and with some clues provided by his surrounding classmates, Rong Ziyan had already figured it out. He was just one crucial piece of evidence away from overturning the case.

    “Do you need your master’s help? It’s not a big deal.” Boss Fat was afraid that this matter would delay Rong Ziyan’s future research project.

    Rong Ziyan shook his head, “Don’t worry, teacher, it won’t delay the main work. I’m just one step away.”

    “Okay, you tell me if you need anything, don’t bear it alone.” Boss Fat patted Rong Ziyan’s shoulder, “If you can’t manage it, there are still your senior brothers! Don’t worry, no one dares to bully you.”

    Boss Fat’s words were indeed domineering, but because of his Maitreya Buddha-like appearance, he seemed more like an uncle who spoiled his juniors too much.

    Rong Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed, “Thank you, teacher.”

    “Okay. You continue to eat! I’m going to the lab first. If you don’t have anything to do in the morning, come over and help out.” Boss Fat left first, holding his empty plate.

    The system couldn’t help but sigh, “Boss Fat is really a good person.”

    Rong Ziyan nodded, rarely reaching a consensus with the system, and silently gave his teacher a “good person” card.

    And as soon as Boss Fat left, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became lively.

    Some people were even curiously sizing up Rong Ziyan, seemingly judging whether he and Boss Fat’s group of dog-like straight male disciples were from the same group.

    The final conclusion was, definitely not! After all, the new junior brother was so handsome, he looked like a righteous person, and definitely couldn’t be in cahoots with those dogs.

    The system silently sighed. As expected, they were all foolish mortals. Appearance couldn’t represent anything. When it came to being unscrupulous, no one could compare to Rong Ziyan. He had just changed environments and hadn’t been able to fully unleash his power yet!

    It could only be said that it was too coincidental. While everyone was quietly labeling Rong Ziyan as a “good person”, Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers’ divine assistance came.

    Who would have thought that the senior brothers, whose hair was thinning yesterday, would find that a layer of fuzzy hair had grown on their thinning heads this morning after using Rong Ziyan’s Little Overlord Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo before going to bed!

    Even the gentle and steady eldest senior brother couldn’t help but grab Rong Ziyan’s hand excitedly, saying, “Junior brother! If you can make my hair grow well, you’ll be my forever dad!”

    Rong Ziyan was also startled. He had never expected the effect of Little Overlord’s anti-hair loss to be so immediate.

    But because he had just been talking to Boss Fat and they had discussed a case of a sheep farm near Beijing where the sheep’s wool production had decreased sharply after a large-scale skin disease recovery, Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but link the effects of the shampoo on his senior brothers with the sheep.

    “Humans are also animals, if it works on people, would it also…”

    “Isn’t this for humans?”

    Rong Ziyan recalled the item details. The description said it was for “longevity stars,” and deities weren’t mortals. So, he nodded affirmatively: “Yes, it’s not for humans.”

    “I see!” Several senior brothers realized, “Then can we try it on peacocks? The peacocks in Beijing Wildlife Park have been bald recently, and they were just sent here for treatment a couple days ago.”

    “It’s possible. Why not use it first, then observe the results. If it can indeed promote the growth of fur in creatures, then it’ll be great news for wool-producing and fur-producing animal farming!”

    So, the senior brothers immediately began discussing excitedly, and even the framework of the latest research project was planned in a few minutes.

    The researchers around who had heard the news and wanted to inquire about the shampoo from Rong Ziyan silently moved their feet away. They thought, Rong Ziyan deserves to be the little disciple that Boss Fat had set his sights on. His level of cunning was far beyond his senior brothers.

    The most incredible thing was that the anti-hair loss shampoo that Rong Ziyan gave them was for animals. Yet, one dared to give it, and the others dared to use it. This kind of dedication to science was beyond them.

    But while saying so, their bodies were honest. In this research institute where hair was as precious as jewels, the news that Rong Ziyan had a hair growth agent with remarkable effects quickly spread. Even the vice director, who had always been invisible, couldn’t help but rush to the institute to have a private chat with Rong Ziyan and build a connection.

    Of course, thanks to his ironclad relationship with Boss Fat, the vice director quickly obtained half a bottle of shampoo and treated it like a treasure.

    Before leaving, he suddenly thought of a very important thing. The shampoo was only brought yesterday. Why was there only half a bottle left today?

    Did they take it to do material analysis?

    It was also a coincidence. Just as the vice director had doubts, he bumped into Rong Ziyan who was coming over. So, he curiously stopped him and asked.

    Rong Ziyan first took the shampoo bottle and looked at it, then carefully recalled, calmly giving the answer, “This bottle wasn’t used for analysis. It’s what was left over after washing the peacocks.”

    “Oh, washing the peacocks…” The vice director breathed a sigh of relief, but after taking a couple of steps, he felt something was wrong, “Where did the peacocks in the institute come from?”

    Rong Ziyan pointed to the backyard, “The bald ones that the wildlife park sent.”

    Because the wildlife park sent several peacocks at once, to prevent the vice director from mixing them up, Rong Ziyan specially added, “It’s the one with the bald butt.”
