Chapter 458: Chapter 315: A Gift for the Butler_2

He needed that access privilege!

After boosting his access, he could search the internal database of the United Security Bureau for more of the information he wanted. Those files weren’t connected to the internet and could only be accessed within the internal electronic library of the United Security Bureau.

Feng Yi wanted to go into the database of the United Security Bureau to look up information related to energy substances, including meteorites and certain events identified as "unusual."

Maybe there would be some unexpected findings.

So, he couldn’t afford to neglect this mid-year report!

He took a bite of a big green mango dipped in chili salt and continued to bury his head in writing the summary.

There weren’t many spam calls on his mobile phone; he had blocked many people. He wouldn’t let those calls disturb his mood while he was writing the summary!

Just as he managed to squeeze out a couple of sentences, his phone rang.

Feng Yi: "..."

Picking up the phone, the incoming call still displayed a strange number.

Feng Yi initially thought it was someone from his uncle’s side calling from a new number, but after answering, he found out it was not.

It was an invitation to an event.

"Stars’ Night?"

The event, organized by a social platform, sounded from its name like it was more for entertainment.

This "star" didn’t specifically refer to celebrities from the entertainment industry but rather to people from various industries who were famous on the social platform, had a large following, and generated significant traffic.

Such events were held annually, but last year Feng Yi hadn’t been famous enough and had other schedules, so he didn’t pay attention to it.

This year, it was being held in Jing City.

Jing City...

The biggest electronic library of the United Security Bureau was located in Jing City.

Hearing the date of the event, Feng Yi figured that by the time he went to participate, his mid-year review results should be out. If his performance was good and his access was boosted, he could spend a few days at the electronic library of Jing City’s United Security Bureau.

Planning like this, he also replied to the person on the phone, "Unless something unexpected happens, I will attend the event."

After receiving Feng Yi’s affirmative answer, the event organizer’s staff asked for his address to send the invitation and related admission documents.

The organizer had partnered with some hotels and would arrange accommodations for the guests. When the person on the phone asked Feng Yi if he needed accommodations, Feng Yi stated that he would take care of that himself.

Accommodations arranged by the event organizer might not meet Feng Yi’s expectations. Now that money wasn’t an issue for him, why not find a more satisfactory room with better privacy?

After the call, Feng Yi thought about the mentioned hotels and took out the rare VIP card Uncle Bao had given him.

One of the hotels was invested in by Uncle Bao.

Feng Yi sent a message to Jia.

"Jia! I have a task for you!"

Feng Yi handed the rare VIP card to Jia, instructing him to book a hotel.

Demand for rooms near the event venue would surely be high during the event, hence booking a room he was satisfied with would be difficult. Whether the card given by Uncle Bao offered any convenience in securing his preferred room was now Jia’s responsibility.

Having delegated the task of booking a hotel, Feng Yi buried himself again in the report.

He pondered over the report during the day and processed meteorites at night.

His zodiac earnings were sufficient, so Feng Yi didn’t play with coins anymore. Recently, he only processed meteorites before going to bed.

A few days later, he finally finished the mid-year report. The moment he clicked submit, Feng Yi felt a huge relief wash over him.

His brain cells had used up so much energy during the writing that he had significantly reduced the stock of various fruits in his storage room.

People from his housing complex had even contacted him in the homeowners’ group chat, saying that if Feng Yi couldn’t finish the truckload of fruits, he could sell some to them.

Huh, as if he couldn’t finish them!

His official statement was that he had given most away to friends and relatives. In fact, most of it was his own food supply.

After finishing the report, Feng Yi looked at the meteorite in his bedroom.

Having processed it for so many days, it was about time.

When he bought the meteorite at a high price at the charity auction, he planned to give it as a gift to his butler.

However, it needed to be processed before gifting.

Now, it was ready.

Unlike the zodiac money, which didn’t show any visible changes without special instruments, the meteorite after being processed could be distinguished from its original state just with the naked eye.

Its surface color and texture had changed, looking less harsh and more tempered.

Even if there were other meteorites from the same source placed alongside, it could be distinguished at a glance.

Even now, if this meteorite were put up for auction, the person who saw it first would definitely not recognize it as a meteorite!

The butler was currently in the tea room on the first floor, and Feng Yi, cradling the meteorite, went to find him.

Upon learning that Feng Yi intended to give him a gift, and seeing the meteorite that had undergone a transformation, the butler was exceptionally thrilled.

Unable to suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth, the butler felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

The meteorite that he had failed to receive that day had at last ended up in his hands!

Indeed, he hadn’t guessed wrong, this was indeed intended for him!

"This is the favorite gift I’ve received in the past two years!"

The butler smiled with pleasure and affection, "This meteorite, it’s different from before."

Feng Yi, "Yes, it’s been processed. There’s a specialized... crust on its surface."

The butler’s smile grew even wider, the wrinkles that had been somewhat diminished due to a facial mask became pronounced again under the heartfelt joy.

He liked this gift too much!

Seeing the butler reach out to take it, Feng Yi dodged and said, "It’s a bit heavy, I’ll move it for you. Where do you plan to put it?"

The butler didn’t insist on moving it himself, "Put it in my workshop first."

Saying so, the butler briskly led Feng Yi towards it.

The butler’s workshop was divided into an inner and an outer room. The butler usually crafted his hand-made models there.

The door to the inner room was closed and Feng Yi couldn’t see anything.

As for the outer room, apart from some unimportant miscellaneous drafts and tools of various sizes, there was nothing else. He didn’t see any painted model parts.

Feng Yi, who had thought he might see what the butler had been busy with recently, "..."

Just as expected from you!

Secrets are best kept hidden!

Following the butler’s wishes, after placing the meteorite on a sturdy trolley, Feng Yi scanned around and asked,

"Do you have any new models you’ve made?"

"I have one," the butler said.

"May I see it?"

"Unfortunately, it was just taken away the day before yesterday and isn’t here. I made use of it for something else."

Feng Yi, "??"

What else could it have been used for?

Feng Yi, "Is it also a character model?"

The butler, "Yes. Don’t worry, I would never sell the models I make by hand, nor would I give them to anyone else."

Since the butler said so, Feng Yi didn’t ask further, as it was just a casual inquiry to begin with.

After delivering the meteorite, Feng Yi left. The butler went with Feng Yi to the tea room for a while to drink tea and chat about daily life. When Feng Yi went upstairs, the butler quickly returned to his workshop.

He locked the door and went over to the trolley where the meteorite was placed.

In Feng Yi’s presence, the butler had behaved quite reservedly, but now, alone, he was much more at ease.

After wiping his hands, he reached out to touch the specialized crust on the surface of the meteorite.

Knowing that this crust was extremely hard, he still touched it gently and carefully, fearing that he would ruin its gloss.

The way the butler looked at this meteorite was as if he were looking at a rare treasure unmatched in the world.

After a while, he said with a chuckle, "The patina, it’s so beautifully done!"

Thinking of something, the butler moved the trolley to the inner room.

In the inner room, a collection rack held various unfinished models. There was also a large one next to the rack.

The large model, crafted in reference to Feng Yi’s own form, was intended as a gift for Feng Yi. Thus, it was created with the utmost respect for the facts.

The smaller models, on the other hand, were the butler’s own flights of fancy, incorporating his subjective preferences.

He took a small model from the collection rack and placed it on the meteorite.

He hadn’t lied to Feng Yi; indeed, the completed model had been taken somewhere else a couple of days ago, but it was not hidden from Feng Yi. Feng Yi would see it sooner or later.

What was now present was just a chibi character model still in the painting phase.

Looking at the meteorite and the small model placed on it, the butler opened his notebook and began to draw rapidly.

How could just writing in a notebook suffice? Of course, it needed to include pictures!
