"Is this thing... supposed to be a floating cannon?"
"Oh no, according to Xia Dong Fuli's old tradition, I should mix up the speeches of H and F, and call it a fox cannon!"
"A fox cannon approaches you and gives you an electric blast." Master Fuli, standing on the wall, pondered deeply and patted his newly grown fluffy big tail.
But it's fine as long as he doesn't touch it. Once he does, the tail instantly stands up and starts "Moo moo moo~" rattling.
"....."
Master Fuli's mouth twitched, and he punched heavily at the tip of the "cobra" tail to hammer it down.
"The Nine-tailed Fox form has been achieved. Next, the thing to consider is using my superpowers to enhance my fox wisdom..."
Ansheng tucked away his fluffy big tail, dropped back into the courtyard from the wall, sat on the desk, and took a sip of iced cola from the thermos.
The [Physique Attribute] on his wishlist, after advancing to the Nine-tailed Fox form, still had a (+) sign at the back.
In his cousin's view, Ansheng's Nine-tailed Fox physique attribute had not yet reached its limit, at least not his cousin's limit.
But Ansheng was not planning to add to his physique for the time being. He felt his current state was similar to spending a fortune on a 5090 Golden Night God but choosing a processor that had already started shrinking, like the 14900kf.
It's not unusable, but the performance it presents can only be described as unsatisfactory.
Ansheng could clearly feel that there should be some special powers lurking within his body, but they were all limited by the 5 points of [Wisdom Attribute] and couldn't be unleashed.
At least the ability for the big tail to escape on its own, not leaving even a wound on his body, was not an ability Ansheng could freely control.
Because of the lack of reference materials, Ansheng couldn't even identify if his physique counted as [Primordial] or if it had already reached [Primordial].
Sly Dragon might know the answer, but he died early.
And the only one alive who experienced the Spiritual Particle resurgence period and survived, the King of the Universe, that cocky king... Ansheng had no desire to ask.
After all... the King of the Universe is mentally ill, diagnosed with various mental illnesses such as [Cognitive Disorder], [Schizophrenia], [Amnesia], etc.
All known mental illnesses of Blue Star humans can be traced in the King of the Universe, akin to ancestral offerings.
Expecting him to answer is no better than expecting oneself to break all the landlords in the Longevity Club, using coins they drop to increase one's wisdom.
"Master Fuli......"
"Did you just... grow a tail?" Lin Bingyun, who had been watching in the great hall all along, was stunned when she saw Master Fuli kick his tail out of the Mountain Viewing Pavilion.
"Mm....."
Ansheng nodded lightly, saying, "After breaking Zhang Ruiren's dog's brain, a sudden feeling of bliss came to my mind, and my butt itched."
"So..... a tail grew out. Oh, Housekeeper Lin, please dial Lin Ying's phone, I have something to tell her."
Ansheng thought about it and spoke to Housekeeper Lin.
He had promised Lin Ying earlier, to notify her if he felt like he was going to grow a tail or if one actually grew out, and at that time, Lin Ying would prepare a celebration party for him like a birthday feast.
Of course.
Ansheng wasn't really bothered about any party; he just wanted to share the information that he's now bigger with Lin Ying.
To share this current joy with Lin Ying.
"Uh..."
Lin Bingyun dialed Lin Ying's phone, but right after the call connected, her expression changed slightly, and she said somewhat oddly:
"Master Fuli..."
"The call's through, but Miss Lin is a bit busy. She's busy bothering her neighbor, could you please advise her!"
"Disturbing the peace?"
Ansheng was stunned upon hearing this, scratching his head, completely unable to imagine how Lin Ying was actually disturbing the peace as described by Housekeeper Lin. Or rather, does Lin Ying even have neighbors nearby?
"Clang clang clang——"
Lin Bingyun turned on the speaker, and from the phone speaker burst out a strong guitar sound, with the drum hits directly igniting the whole scene.
"Is it Master Fuli?"
"I was just relaxing at home in my hot spring and suddenly remembered my old cello lessons. So, I thought about trying the cello strings on the guitar to see what sounds it would make."
"It's a bit noisy over here..."
Lin Ying, who had black fox ears, put down the guitar and strings, walked outside her villa, and spoke loudly about the current situation.
Lin Ying had a rather unique villa in Jiule City, mainly providing high-end clubhouse services, and offered a natural hot spring experience right in the villa courtyard.
"Relaxing at home in a hot spring? That's an unfamiliar term, you should let me try it someday..."
Upon hearing Lin Ying's joyful oohs and ahhs, Ansheng's mind briefly shrank, unable to understand how a natural hot spring could possibly exist at home.
"However, what I wanted to say is not about your nighttime disturbance...." Ansheng smacked his lips and said:
"Cough cough cough.... I couldn't hold it just now, and suddenly transformed into our Xia Country's auspicious Nine-tailed Fox."
"Hmm?!"
Lin Ying on the other end of the call was stunned upon hearing this, her fox ears on her head twitching, her face full of shock: "Master Fuli... Are you now the Nine-tailed Fox, Primordial?"
"Where are you now, I'll come over right away....."
"I've just returned to Chang'an City, if you're too busy on your side....."
Lin Ying's emotions on the phone were very excited, unconsciously letting out "ooh ooh" sounds. Ansheng smiled and wanted to say there's no rush but was promptly interrupted by Lin Ying's loud voice.
"Not busy! I'm not busy at all!"
"No matter how busy I am, what's more important than family!" Lin Ying's tone carried a hint of rebuke and discontent: "What could possibly be more important than Master Fuli growing a new tail, tails being akin to tree rings or birthday marks!"
"In such an important moment, how could there be no one to accompany and celebrate together. Although Ah Qing might be by your side, but between couples, how could there be no little secrets left untold."
"Chang'an City, right? I'm coming over right now, Master Fuli, stay right there and don't move..."
"Beep beep beep——"
Ansheng didn't even get a chance to speak; Lin Ying on the other end of the phone hung up with a busy signal.
"........"
Ansheng, looking bewildered, turned to Lin Bingyun and asked: "Will Lin Group Holding Company have trouble tomorrow morning with such a big chairman Lin Ye disappearing..."
"Uh..."
Lin Bingyun thought for a moment and said: "Not really, the management selection has been completed, and meetings with department heads or CEOs are not held every day."
"Apart from some important decisions and meetings, Miss Lin is more like a symbol. The details of all business cooperation are handled by the people below, and Miss Lin only attends meetings with the opposing chairmen or CEOs, jointly attending press conferences or signing contracts..."
Lin Bingyun spoke to Ansheng about Lin Ying's daily work arrangements.
After taking up the role of chairman, Lin Ying's work wasn't really busy; apart from decision-making meetings, the busiest things were receiving reports and participating in societal events she was required to attend.
The work isn't busy, but due to various reports and representing the group, her work time was broken up into fragments.
During leisure moments, Lin Ying might sit in the office and view only two documents in a morning.
In the afternoon, she might enjoy afternoon tea at the group and then head home.
But in the early hours of three or four a.m., suddenly receiving a work request call, then, when writing an autobiography for external publicity, it would be: [Chairman Lin is hardworking and diligent, arriving at the company at eight-thirty in the morning and working till three or four a.m.]
"If Miss Lin had to be that busy every day, the only thing I needed to do was to start a major layoff from the assistant team to various department management levels."
"Being unable to do a good job due to lack of ability is one thing, but being unable to share the workload for Miss Lin is an issue of attitude."
Lin Bingyun spoke confidently.
