"Speaking of which, did any of you see the honorary principal pop his head out when you were outside just now?"
Riding in the business car on the return trip, Lin Shu was driving while Lin Ying sat in the second row, holding a little gray fox in her arms. Lin Ying didn't mind the dirt on the little fox messing up her clothes; instead, she was quite interested and used a wet wipe to clean his paws.
"Master Fox, are you asking about the honorary principal of Xinxing Agricultural Science College?"
Lin Ying looked up, glanced at the little fox, shook her head, and said, "I was on site and heard someone mention the honorary principal, but I didn't see him..."
The honorary principal indeed came to oversee at the ceramics factory, and he was in the surveillance room. However, apart from the unexpected explosion, everything went smoothly. He didn't intervene but instead entered the ceramics factory to collect all the surveillance footage.
The honorary principal's presence was essentially like adding a safety feature.
If the situation changed and the woodcutter from Chang'an City couldn't handle it, he would take over the scene completely.
"Really? What a pity..." Ansheng said with a hint of regret in his voice.
The honorary principal ≈ the Double Flower Red Pole of the Spiritual Particle Industry.
Ansheng initially thought he would have the chance to personally witness the Double Flower Red Pole, whom Wang Qiqi greatly admired, in action.
......
Ansheng returned to Phoenix City District, took a shower, and immediately got in the car, rushing to the school dormitory.
"We'll go back and prepare the ingredients first, then come pick up Master Fox tonight..."
After dropping Ansheng off at the entrance of the College of Agriculture, Lin Ying smoothed the little fox's fur, opened the car door, smiled as she said goodbye, and arranged to celebrate in the evening.
"Yingying—"
Ansheng jumped off the car, squatted down, and since there were returning students around, he looked back into the car, whimpered a goodbye to Lin Ying while waving his paw.
"It's already half-past seven now."
"In a bit, Ah Qing might explode..." Ansheng moved on his four little legs, running towards the girls' dormitory.
But on his way home, Ansheng was surprised to find a van parked on a tree not far from the school gate.
"This van..."
"Isn't it the car that Fat Cat and their group drove? Why is it parked on a tree branch three meters off the ground?" Ansheng was full of questions, looking at the wrecked car perched up high.
"Hey! Lord Fox Immortal... Look at me, after graduation, will I be more like a civil servant or a government employee?"
The white fox standing still on the inner road easily attracted the gaze of others. Among the students returning with their luggage, one person looked devoutly at the chance encounter with the Fox Master and asked about his future.
Ansheng glanced sideways and saw a stranger asking him a question.
Unbelievable!
Another one wanting a human-skin blessing.
"Yingying!"
Ansheng looked around; with the returning students around, he held back from scolding the male student in front of him.
Still talking about being a civil servant or government employee. Look at your fascination with feudal superstition. Be careful, or you'll be scammed into working 007 after graduation.
The male student, not understanding the fox sounds, was delighted upon hearing the little fox's whimper, clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Fox Master, for showing me the way."
"I told you, I'm suited to be a civil servant..."
"You're suited for factory work—" A childish voice sounded on the inner road, startling the male student who looked around, trying to find the brat cursing him. But after looking around, he saw no sign of any pesky kid.
"Oh..." The male student shivered, quickly dragging his suitcase towards the male dormitory with heavy yang energy, as if something dirty was chasing him from behind.
......
"Ah Qing! I'm back!"
Riding the freight elevator upstairs, Ansheng followed the window sill into the dormitory and spoke with a wide grin.
Only.
Once Ansheng returned to the dorm room, he found it empty; even the air conditioner hadn't been turned on, making the air inside a bit stuffy.
"Xiaolan, be good and sleep when you come back. Momo found a unique restaurant; after dinner, we'll check it out at the apartment Momo rented tonight. We'll get you a single room there."
Although the dormitory was empty, Tang You's desk computer was still running, showing a video playback interface, continuously playing a small video that Ah Qing recorded when she left the night before.
"Rent an apartment in Phoenix City District?"
Ansheng's expression was a bit stunned and odd as he complained to the computer screen, "If you have money with nowhere to spend, I can rent you one! Sister Lin Fu bought the king of the building in Phoenix City District earlier and even got a few for the servants and foreign teachers."
"I'll go back and kick out the foreigners, free up two apartments for you, no utilities cost, rent for two hundred."
After complaining, Ansheng happily ran to the small fridge in the dorm, pulling out a cold cola.
"Pop—"
The little fox popped open a can of lime-flavored cola straight from the fridge and gulped it down eagerly.
"Make a wish list, convert all Wish Power into Physique, pour everything I've earned into my body!"
From the tea competition in Changxi Town, to He's mother's class with the Superpower User, then to Tang You's misfortune, and Wang Lei's family affairs related to the woodcutter.
On top of that, the chemical factory and surprise raid site.
Ansheng now has 27 points of Wish Power.
[94→121]
With Ansheng's all-in command, the 27 points of Wish Power on the wish list turned into golden light, permeating Ansheng's limbs and bones. His investment in Physique points also broke through to 121 points at once.
"Yingying—"
A tingling sensation suddenly hit Ansheng's mind, making him feel as if he was back in a previous life running a half-marathon, causing him to go weak in the legs and fall straight to the ground, delightfully confused by the upgrade.
"Crack... crack..."
While Ansheng reveled in the pleasant feeling, his body began to emit sounds of twisting bones. His originally not very long snout subtly retracted a bit, while the muscles on his limbs rippled and gradually elongated.
His slightly round belly also vanished due to the stretching of his torso.
His little fox paws gradually separated, and his once-round fingers became slender, looking almost like human hands.
After a complete transformation of his limbs and torso, a bulge gradually rose on his backside, and a fifth completely new, pristine white, and fluffy big tail grew out.
"Yingying..."
Covered in snow-white fur, with gray long hair sprouting on top of his head, the male fox spirit with pointed triangle ears lay dazed on the ground, instinctively reaching for the nearest single sofa to snuggle up to.
The fox spirit rolled around on the floor, like a big cat that had just consumed catnip.
As the aftereffects of the upgrade dissipated, Ansheng, who felt no pain during the transformation process, drowsily realized the changes in his body.
"I... I have a human form now?!"
Ansheng was stunned, then full of joy, immediately looking down towards his crotch.
"Oh, come on! Still perfectly pointing upwards, I can't even hold it for a pee?"
"Disappointing..."
"But, my hands have grown!" Ansheng stared at his hand, resembling a human's but with pink paw pads. His original paw pads were black, but now that he has a human form, the color had slightly changed.
The little fox withdrew his gaze from his palm, and stared straight at Tang You's computer.
"Should I play a game of LOL?"
"Forget it, better to play a couple rounds of CS and then brag in the Penguin chat group."
"Well now, I finally have hands!"
