Chapter 430: Chapter 301: If I Could Meet Feng Yi_1

As invitation letters steadily arrived in the hands of invitees, the Feng Household in Yang City grew increasingly lively.

Every day, Feng Yi could hear a lot of scattered news from Feng Chi.

Unlike Feng Yi who had long been expelled from the family, Feng Chi was assigned tasks this time and was very busy. When he had free time, he’d share his experiences with Feng Yi.

Feng Yi hadn’t traveled far recently and hadn’t taken on any missions from the Alliance Protection Agency.

The third edition of the zodiac-themed coins was quickly crafted, with the housekeeper working efficiently. A large box full of these coins was ready, and Feng Yi picked out five from each edition, deciding to start with tempering fifteen of them.

Tempering zodiac-themed coins was different from tempering meteorites. The meteorite already contained energy substances internally, so Feng Yi didn’t need to deliberately output energy. The energy substances within would naturally initiate some synergistic effects.

However, the zodiac-themed coins were different. These decorative copper coins cast from a copper alloy did not contain energy substances and required Feng Yi to use his own power to form a "shell" on the surface of the coins, also known as a kind of "patina."

Fortunately, the composition of this alloy was already the most suitable one, so the energy needed for tempering wasn’t much; it just took a little more time.

Feng Yi also tried sleeping with these zodiac-themed coins under his tail at night, but the sight that greeted him the next morning made him abandon this method.

Um... his sleeping posture probably wasn’t very steady.

His tail was disobedient and had too many ideas.

Luckily, he had only placed fifteen copper coins under his tail. If there had been more, he might not have found them all the next day.

Perhaps it was because he had been busy tempering the patina on the zodiac-themed coins these days, using energy frequently, some stray active factors escaped. It wasn’t much, and ordinary people might not notice, but the plants in the courtyard seemed to be thriving better. However, it was the season for rampant plant growth, so it wasn’t particularly noticeable.

What was really obvious and showed directly was the koi in the ornamental pool.

They hadn’t grown much in size, but their slim figures had begun to expand again.

When Feng Yi first bought them, they were just small fish going for ten yuan each. Perhaps because they had been in contact with active factors from a young age, they were now very sensitive to them.

They "fattened" up quickly.

As the night deepened, the hustle and bustle by the lakeside park also gradually subsided.

Feng Yi sat in his room, fiddling with a piece of zodiac-themed coin in his hand.

Without turning on the light, in the dimly lit room, the round copper coin flipping over at his fingertips emitted a faint glow.

This was a newly minted zodiac-themed coin that had been tempered with "patina," the specialized layer on the surface would glow under the stimulation of energy. But Feng Yi felt that this "patina" wasn’t thick enough and needed to be thicker.

At the moment, Feng Yi wasn’t in his original form, waiting for a call from Feng Chi.

Feng Chi had sent him a message during the day, saying he would call tonight to talk about the situation at the old house.

As he was thinking about it, a new message from Feng Chi popped up in the chat application.

The flipping copper coin paused between his fingers, its light fading away.

Feng Yi turned on the light in the room, put away the zodiac-themed coin, and clicked on his mobile phone to reply to Feng Chi.

Soon, a video call request came through from the other side.

After connecting, the background in the video showed Feng Chi’s apartment in the downtown area.

"Just got back?" Feng Yi asked.

"I could’ve returned an hour earlier, but they stirred up some trouble over there, it was annoying!" Feng Chi said wearily. "It’s only been a few days, and I feel like I’ve aged a lifetime! Ah, damn it!"

It seemed he suddenly noticed something horrifying.

Feng Chi: "Another two pimples popped up!"

Feng Yi: "..."

In the video, Feng Chi’s face showed panic. He hurriedly left a message, set down his phone, and disappeared from the screen; he probably went to the bathroom to take a closer look.

After waiting for about two minutes, Feng Chi reappeared on the screen, accompanied by a container of facial mask that looked familiar.

Feng Yi: "..."

Feng Chi: "Hang on, I’m going to put on a face mask. I still have to go to the magazine for a photoshoot tomorrow morning. I must get rid of these two pimples!"

In the past few days, due to tasks assigned by the old master, Feng Chi had to entertain several distant family members who had come from afar.

With the invitation letters sent out, some family members had already arrived early in Yang City, among them some whom the old master valued highly.

Originally, Feng Chi didn’t have so many tasks, as the old master didn’t think much of him at present, preferring to be out of sight, out of mind, and Feng Chi was happy to take it easy.

But among these valued family members, there was a young overseas Chinese who came along, an idol star and member of a boy band abroad. He said he wanted to get a feel for the domestic entertainment industry.

The old master thought it was an excellent opportunity, and then handed this reception task to Feng Chi, letting him show them around.

After applying the face mask, Feng Chi continued to vent to Feng Yi:

"The old master, when he doesn’t need me, he calls me an ’actor’ with disdain. When he needs me as a tool, that’s when I’m an ’artist.’

"And then there’s that guy I’m entertaining, some nobody from below the eighteenth rung, from a group I’ve never even heard of, acting all high and mighty! He’s pretentious, smoking, drinking, and boasting at the dinner table, and then orders a bunch of spicy food. He doesn’t care about his voice, but I’m worried about mine!

"I didn’t eat much of that food, maybe I got heated from the frustration, and out popped two pimples. Thank heavens I have my treasured face mask!

"Hey, that guy even tried to ask me for a face mask, hinting that I should give it to him for free! Fat chance! I almost blurted out the word ’roll’ on the spot!"
