Chapter 260: Chapter 196: Getting a Few Injections_1

"The ruckus brought by the ’Progenitor Y’ active protein didn’t spread in social circles, but the hot topics online were still about Feng Yi."

The subjects of wealthy family heritage and property disputes always piqued public interest more easily.

As the news of Old Man Feng’s will spread throughout Yang City, the topic of the Feng Family quickly gained more attention.

Feng Yi, also a social media sensation, capitalized on the moment when there were no other explosive topics on the internet, prompting the bloggers to start stirring things up once they got wind of news related to him.

Feng Yi had made a name for himself as ’Brother Se,’ but people were more curious about the family grudges behind the scenes, and...

[Guess, what will Brother Se get from the will this time?]

[Cash, stocks? Mansions, shops? Envious!]

[Won’t he get nothing? Wasn’t there a dig into Feng Yi’s past, claiming that he was kicked out by the Feng Family of Yang City upon coming of age, and that he earned his tuition and living expenses by working part-time? His college working photos even surfaced online. If so, Feng Yi wouldn’t count as part of the Feng Family.]

[Shouldn’t he still get something? Aren’t wealthy clans really concerned about bloodlines? Even if they’re not, they care about face, and for the sake of appearances might give something even if they dislike him, right? They’re not short of that money anyway.]

[What are you all randomly guessing for? Is Old Man Feng’s will something you can just casually find out? The old man hasn’t passed yet, and it’s not like it has already been divided among them. Most of what is being said now are rumors, who knows what the truth is.]

[Just watch, keep calm and eat melon, don’t take it too seriously.]

[Internal news! It’s confirmed, Brother Se won’t get a dime!]

[I’ve heard long ago that Old Man Feng doesn’t like Feng Yi. Seems it’s true!]

[No one has seen Feng Yi’s recent movements, could he have been blacklisted?]

[Blacklisted? Can his family cover the sky with one hand in Yang City or what?]

Busy with his "brilliant ideas," Feng Chi finally found some free time to surf the internet and came across comments about Feng Yi being blacklisted, laughing so hard he almost spouted cola through his nose.

Although the Feng Family of Yang City was indeed a large local family with wealth and standing for many years, they indeed had influence; had Feng Yi still been mingling in the entertainment circle, he might have been affected. But that wasn’t the issue, because Feng Yi wasn’t involved in showbiz at all—he was an expert certified by the joint guarantee bureau! Who could afford to pay to have the bureau retract their certification?

Blacklisted?

Blacklist what?

With what are you blacklisting?

They’re overestimating the Feng Family and underestimating Feng Yi!

Having some free time, Feng Chi made a phone call to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was in his room, staring blankly at his somewhat dull tail. Seeing the incoming call from Feng Chi, he reverted to his human form, put on lounge pants, loosened up his legs, and walked to the outside terrace to answer the call.

They had just talked on the phone a few days ago; didn’t Feng Chi say he was going to be busy with his brilliant idea? Why was he suddenly calling now?

"What’s up?"

"Bro, have you been online? Those people are talking about the old man’s will again, and some bloggers want to use this to target you. It brings traffic; they’re happy to publish stuff about you, and don’t mind fanning the flames, whatever nasty things they can say, creating stories off the cuff."

"I know a bit," Feng Yi said. The housekeeper’s daily briefing wasn’t for nothing; Feng Yi did read it but didn’t constantly keep up.

"What do you plan to do about it? Need help with the stuff online? I know a few big Vs,"

"No need, ignore them."

"Alright then." Knowing Feng Yi’s mentality was solid, Feng Chi didn’t say more.

"Are you at home now?" Feng Yi asked.

He heard a bit of construction noise from the receiver, along with the sound of Feng Chi moving and the rustling of plants.

Feng Chi hesitated at the sudden question, casually saying, "Out having fun... Someone’s calling me over here, so that’s it. Don’t mind those people online, all talk of blacklisting is bullshit, just ignore it. Let me know if you need help."

"You too, if there’s anything you can’t handle, don’t be too tough. I can lend a hand," Feng Yi said.

"Don’t worry about my side!"

After the conversation, Feng Chi irritably raked his fingers through his hair.

He had almost let the news slip to Feng Yi but he held back for the sake of the "surprise" effect he envisaged.

The "brilliant idea" wasn’t going as smoothly as planned; he wasn’t satisfied with the first team he hired. The model maker for the museum he wanted was unavailable, and the first team he got was through someone else’s connection.

He had the team start with a small model to see the physical object.

But...

The model they produced was so bad even the cauliflower snake would cry!

Feng Chi was fuming.

I wanted a snake!

Is that a snake?

Did they model it after an eel or what?!

The appearance was far from the mark, not to mention the bearing!

In Feng Chi’s imagination, the ancient giant python was lurking in the jungle, cold and scornful, fierce and sinister...

The better he imagined it, the bigger the disappointment!

Feng Chi confronted the maker with the model in hand, but...

They just said "you don’t understand."

Yes, I don’t understand, but I’m not blind!

It had neither the shape nor the awe-inspiring quality of a snake, not to mention the regal bearing of a beast from the age of ancient giant creatures in the primitive forest!

No matter if it really was a king 65 million years ago, in Feng Chi’s eyes, it had to be the king!

However, the makers they hired seemed to have their own stubborn ideas, with that subtly twisted mix-and-match style, cringing and sleazy... sorry, but he just didn’t appreciate it!

In the end, they explained: they didn’t understand snakes well enough, and their fear prevented them from achieving the effect Feng Chi wanted.
