Chapter 128
While Wan Xuan was sighing, the barrage in the live broadcast room was also busy. The dense barrage directly flooded the entire screen.
Some people praised the firework ball.
"Oh my god, these fireworks are so beautiful! They don't look like holograms at all!"
"Judging from the slight vibrations of the smoke inside the glass ball, it must really be a specially made small-scale gunpowder, not a holographic projection. No wonder I haven't seen this projection image online."
"That's really thoughtful! While there's a category for small, specially made gunpowder, it's not easy to make it by hand during a competition, and to make it this beautifully is a real plus."
Some praised the mechanical cat that was licking the void fur nearby.
"No one thinks that cat is cute? It's a little ugly, but it's ugly-cute!"
"I think so too! It's really ugly-cute. Although its movements are just as agile as other mechanical cats, it feels so adorable on him! Like a real kitten!"
"I think so too. Look at him licking his paws now, and that clumsy way he took out the firework ball just now. It's really cute!"
"To be honest, I would really pay for such an ugly but cute little thing..."
"The cat brought you a gift, say! Thank you, cat!"
There are also people who use microscopes to observe the eldest prince.
"When the Crown Prince first sat on the judging panel, he seemed a little angry. I didn't know why, but he was clearly tense. But now he's relaxed."
"His facial expression has softened considerably. His frown has relaxed, and his previously tense muscles have loosened. The corners of his mouth are even more upturned than before!"
"...? Were you looking at that with a microscope? When did the Crown Prince tense his muscles? He's wearing all black today, so he doesn't show any muscle definition, does he?"
"This proves that the muscle definition on his arm in the sleeve of his suit used to be due to the muscles being stretched, but now it's gone. I've posted the before and after comparison online. You can replay it and compare it carefully."
"...You guys are really watching the live broadcast with a microscope!"
Of course, all these topics discussed in the barrage will eventually talk about the same person.
"...Ye Wangxing is truly an unfathomable man. In the first match, he dealt a complete loss. When he brought out this mechanical cat in the second match, I thought he'd come up with some kind of shared pet, but he just pulled out this chubby, ugly-cute cat—and the key is, I really want to spend money on it."
The comments in the live broadcast room said in disbelief.
"Who would refuse an ugly and cute cat that gives you gifts? And even though this cat may look a little ugly, its cleverness and little movements are just as good as those of other kittens."
"People, say cats are good!"
"So it's all thanks to Ye Wangxing. Although this movement may seem simple, it actually takes a lot of effort to make it look as agile as a real animal and not appear perfunctory."
"I know that—so how did Ye Wangxing find the time to roll a firework ball by hand? How long did it take? How much did it cost? When will it be mass-produced? I want this little thing now! Who can refuse a fireworks show just for you?!"
While the discussion on the barrage was in full swing, the host also interviewed Ye Wangxing and asked all the questions from the audience.
What is the design concept of this mechanical cat? Why is the cat modified to be so fat? Is it for the sake of appearance?
And—How much material did Ye Wangxing use to make this firework ball? What was the cost? When will it be mass-produced?
The host asked all these questions with an expectant look on his face.
It is not difficult to tell from the way he frequently looks back that he is also one of the people who is attracted by the fireworks fans.
The eldest prince's response to this was...
He silently opened his coat and placed the firework ball directly into the inner pocket of his coat.
I was just thinking about whether I could use my identity as the host to get close to the moon and ask the eldest prince to touch the firework ball host: "..."
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing's timely response saved him from the predicament.
...The young man had a gorgeous face, a carefree smile, a wrench in his hand, and his sleeveless vest stretched out his muscular lines, which made people feel a little dislocated.
But after getting used to it, I find it has a different kind of beauty.
"The idea behind the robotic cats is to make it easier for drones to reach remote areas and residential areas where they're inaccessible. After all, they're already abandoned, and the renovation plan I devised doesn't cost much."
As Ye Wangxing spoke, he blurted out an extremely low cost price. After winning exclamations from the audience, he thought that the price he quoted was too high, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"This is already the lowest price. I haven't even included the cat's movements yet. If I did, the cost of remodeling would probably be an extra five bucks per cat."
"Even if we add 10 yuan, the price is still worth it." The host agreed, but he was not trying to coax Ye Wangxing, but the price of this renovation was indeed worth it for them.
Of course, for those bosses, even one dollar is expensive, let alone five dollars.
People in the barrage were also asking whether it was worth paying the 5 yuan for just a few ordinary cat actions.
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
"If you don't mind, I'll buy this modified technology and pay for it. It's specifically used to deliver express delivery and takeout to remote areas."
Although the eldest prince's voice remained calm and composed, his words shocked the audience and the host.
You know, both the patent fee and the renovation fee are not a small amount of money. He even has to get through various connections. After all, in terms of logistics, the local government has a special logistics company!
But the eldest prince just said it so lightly?
Even the comments were a little unbelievable.
"Isn't it just a firework ball that won Huo Han over? Is he that easy to fool? If I gave him something else, wouldn't I be able to win his favor as well?"
"It feels a bit unbelievable. Could this be acting?"
"What happened to the performance? I forgot what happened later, anyway I quit the internet."
"Let's not bring up the old jokes like the one above, but I don't think Huo Han is acting or trying to please people. He's just an actor in the entertainment industry, but he still has all those connections."
"Yes, and this kind of thing is also beneficial to the country and the people. You have no idea how tiring it is for us to pick up packages and take them home when robots or drones can deliver them to our doorsteps in most cities."
"I'm praying that the price of this cat will be cheaper, at least comparable to the price of a robot delivering a package to your door."
"Really? Every time I choose a robot to deliver to my door, the delivery fee alone kills me. I even have to pay them a service fee for over 100 yuan. God knows why robots and drones have service fees."
"But if it's a cat, it doesn't matter. After all, it's just like buying him cat strips, even though a robot cat doesn't need cat strips."
Some people in the comments were talking about how bad the local robot paid service was, and some were saying that the robot service was charged on both sides, and they also had to pay when sending the items.
The host's topic has shifted to the fireworks.
"—So you actually made this firework ball in your spare time? It's incredible, creating such a beautiful object in such a short time."
The host said with emotion.
Ye Wangxing once again showed an embarrassed expression. The contrast between her beautiful face and such a naive and gullible expression made many people in the barrage exclaim "Wow".
"So, it turns out that this beautiful woman with a scheming face really has a very simple personality, but why do I feel even more bitter?"
"Stop shivering, stop biting!"
Just as the comments were arguing, Ye Wangxing finally spoke.
"...It's not that pretty, actually. Plus, since I made the gunpowder myself, there's no substitute available on the market right now. I'll have to trouble you to get it from me later."
The barrage looked at Ye Wangxing and said this with a hint of guilt on his face, and looked at the eldest prince beside him.
However, what he met was not the eldest prince's moved expression, but a helpless look.
The comments on the barrage were also a little confused. Why did the eldest prince look so helpless?
And some barrages have begun to send question marks and exclamation marks.
Just when someone couldn't help but reveal the truth, the eldest prince said with some helplessness.
"...Wang Xing, I remember you were the one who told me not to reveal our relationship."
The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and many people screamed in surprise on the barrage.
In contrast, Ye Wangxing's face turned red instantly and he looked ashamed and angry.
"Ah ...!"
Ye Wangxing immediately covered his face and said, while the eldest prince stood aside and patted his shoulder with a helpless smile.
By the way, he told the host directly that the two were roommates.
The barrage of comments continued to explode, and Fang Yun looked at the eldest prince's expression, which was completely different from before, and sighed that Ye Wangxing really knew how to coax people.
At first, he saw the eldest prince looking at Ye Wangxing with a sullen expression on his face, as if he was in a bad mood. He was worried in his heart whether the eldest prince had some thoughts about Ye Wangxing.
Although the more help Ye Wangxing gets, the more likely they are to snatch the family property from him, but with the strength of these people, it is unlikely that Ye Wangxing will snatch the family property. Instead, he is likely to give back to the Ye family.
The fear is that these people are just playing around with Ye Wangxing, and Ye Wangxing will break up with them after relying on their power to rob the family property.
So now Fang Yun is the one who is most afraid that Ye Wangxing will break up with them.
So much so that when he was watching the game, he kept looking towards the eldest prince to observe his emotions.
Unfortunately, after a day of competition and a break, his expression was still as gloomy as water, which made Fang Yun's heart jump to his throat. But fortunately, Ye Wangxing coaxed him into submission with just a few words.
——Even Ye Wangxing’s stupid behavior became a source of happiness for this person.
Fang Yun looked at Ye Wangxing covering his face with his hands, his eyes peeking out from between his fingers, and those wet eyes stared at the eldest prince opposite with a look of pleading for help. He asked the other party to stand in front of the camera and help Ye Wangxing block all the firepower.
Fang Yun: ...The eldest prince loves it very much.
Fang Yun thought about it, but he was not too surprised. After all, he had actually seen the eldest prince express his joy of becoming a father in their family.
So he was relatively calm, but then Fang Yun looked around and found that Huo Zhengchuan's expression was a little wrong. He stared blankly at the eldest prince and Ye Wangxing standing over there, his expression almost stupid.
However, Fang Yun also understood that the reason why Huo Zhengchuan was so surprised was because he had just seen Ye Wangxing getting along with the president and the richest man, and now Ye Wangxing and his elder brother got along so well together and they were even roommates. Huo Zhengchuan probably had some doubts in his heart.
but……
"...Your Highness, don't be so surprised. My brother and the eldest prince are roommates. I guess they are also very good friends, which is why they are so helpful."
Fang Yun said this with a smile, just like an ordinary younger brother who saw his brother make a fool of himself and accept the teasing of netizens along with his friends.
After hearing Fang Yun's words, Huo Zhengchuan's expression improved a lot. Although his expression was still a little ugly, at least it was no longer like before, as if he had seen Ji Fangtao get into the National Research Institute with his intelligence.
"A-choo!"
Ji Fangtao sneezed and always felt like someone was teasing him behind his back, but then he looked at the eldest prince who was helping Ye Wangxing out of trouble, so he put the matter behind him and started teasing the eldest prince.
"I didn't expect the eldest prince to fall for this kind of trick. Didn't Ye Wangxing just give him a firework ball? How could he be so moved? If you were the reporter who pushed me out, I would be socially annihilated along with you."
As Ji Fangtao spoke, he stretched out his elbow and poked Huo Zhengchuan who was standing beside him.
Huo Zhengchuan followed Ji Fangtao's action with a forced smile, but in his heart he just thought that Ji Fangtao was a fool.
——He didn’t even notice the ambiguous atmosphere between his elder brother and Ye Wangxing!
Fortunately, Ji Fangtao just made a few jokes before his smart brain rang. He saw that it was his mother, Mrs. Ji, calling, so he reluctantly went out to answer the phone.
Huo Zhengchuan didn't care about Ji Fangtao. His eyes were fixed on Ye Wangxing and his elder brother, and his heart was full of turmoil.
It is known that Ye Wangxing had an affair with the richest man and the president, and according to Ye Wangxing, there are a total of five children in her belly.
So, let me ask him, this big brother who was so bewildered by a firework ball given to him that he even stood up to help Ye Wangxing resist the media attacks, and even when Ye Wangxing was trying to give him a back massage, he had no choice but to hold the other person's wrist.
——How likely is it that he is a candidate for the father of the child in Ye Wangxing’s belly?
Huo Zhengchuan is not the kind of person who deceives himself. Although his ex-fiancé's emotional history shocked him before, he is now even more shocked to the extreme.
But Huo Zhengchuan is worthy of being someone who can interact with Fang Yun, his IQ is still online.
After careful consideration, he realized that he absolutely could not let his elder brother continue to be with Ye Wangxing. Not to mention whether the child in Ye Wangxing's belly would overturn his position as crown prince, the fact that Ye Wangxing's other two mistresses were the president and the richest man in the neighboring alliance was enough to make Huo Zhengchuan alert.
With this network of connections, if they could give up their identities as rivals, there would be very few people in the entire universe who could be their opponents.
Huo Zhengchuan thought seriously.
Before he could think of a plan, Ji Fangtao had finished the call, but his expression was not good. To put it bluntly, he looked like a good girl who was forced into prostitution.
"That's right!"
After hearing Huo Zhengchuan's teasing of him, Ji Fangtao frowned and complained.
"My mom just called me and actually asked me to fight with Ye Wangxing for the position of fiancé. She also said that you are about to break off your engagement with Ye Wangxing, and I can just fill in. After all, Ye Wangxing's current status and connections can help me."
Huo Zhengchuan was stunned for a moment, while Ji Fangtao continued to talk.
"...He even specifically hinted to my mom that Ye Wangxing had other lovers, but my mom didn't care at all. She even said that I was also thinking about Fang Yun. This would make Ye Wangxing ignore me and we could go our separate ways. Then we could use technology to create a child for the Ji family."
Ji Fangtao became more and more angry and emotional as he spoke.
"Yes, I like Fang Yun, but we haven't decided who's better. Why does my mother look down on me so much?"
Fang Yun on the side laughed a little awkwardly because of Ji Fangtao's words, while Huo Zhengchuan covered his face helplessly.
He really didn't understand why Ji Fangtao could still say such things with such confidence at this time. Even if the results were not out yet, wasn't it already very obvious?
There was no ambiguous atmosphere between Ji Fangtao and Fang Yun. He would only help Fang Yun when she wanted to get close to him or was bullied. But then he would start to indulge in how cool his performance was and completely forget to comfort Fang Yun.
However, Huo Zhengchuan did not say it directly, but just listened to Ji Fangtao's complaints.
After complaining, Ji Fangtao still had to go home and listen to his mother's scolding. Fang Yun also separated from Huo Zhengchuan. Before leaving, he smiled and diverted Huo Zhengchuan's attention, hoping that he would not set his sights on the relationship between Ye Wangxing and the eldest prince.
Huo Zhengchuan nodded with a smile, but in fact, looking at Fang Yun's innocent look, he thought he was a little too naive. However, it was understandable that he had always lived in the countryside, and it was normal for him not to know these dirty things now that he came to the city.
After the two separated, Huo Zhengchuan continued to study how to separate his elder brother and Ye Wangxing.
It was obvious that his elder brother would not listen to him, and Ye Wangxing would not listen to her ex-fiancé either.
Then there needs to be a heavyweight enough person to break up the two of them - and it must be the most powerful type. If the eldest brother wants to force it, ordinary people will not be able to withstand it.
After much screening, Huo Zhengchuan finally found the candidate.
"——Dad! Big brother has a girlfriend outside, that's fine, but why is he treating the local government project as a joke just to please her?"
As Huo Zhengchuan was speaking, the handsome man opposite the computer tapped the table with his index finger, looking like he was thinking.
"Dad, I know you've been so overwhelmed by the Alliance's affairs lately that you didn't even watch the game to deal with it. You really should take care of Big Brother's affairs. We can't let Big Brother take control of our empire just because he wants to please his beloved!"
Huo Zhengchuan's words were so heartfelt that he brought tears to his eyes.
Finally, the man on the other side of the computer responded to him.
The handsome man pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile and said.
"Oh? That's really, really disobedient."
He spoke, but it was unclear whether he was talking about his disobedient eldest son - or about some person.
Although Huo Zhengchuan noticed that something was wrong with his father, since his goal had been achieved, it would be better for him to behave himself.
In particular, Huo Zhengchuan immediately hung up the phone and began to check the public opinion on the Internet.
Netizens on the Internet have already started to dig into Ye Wangxing's network of relationships.
"...Oh my god, the richest man and the eldest prince of the empire? These two are both top-tier wealthy sons-in-law, and now they are both involved with Ye Wangxing? And it seems like they have quite a bit of physical contact."
"I think so too, but I don't think such a thing would happen. Even if it did, I would just say it was just a few words."
"Stop talking about that. This is a comment section, not a no-man's land. And what if they really are just good friends? Look at Ye Wangxing's design philosophy—it's all cheap and accessible. Even before the eldest prince entered the entertainment industry, his speeches tended towards that. And let's not even talk about the richest man. His annual charitable endeavors and the brands he owns are all about the most accessible and affordable."
"That's true, and I feel like they're more like friends who share similar political opinions. It's just that the eldest prince should have more topics to talk about with Ye Wangxing."
Netizens discussed it, and although some harsh words were said, it was obvious that they were just jokes.
But this was a relief for Huo Zhengchuan. After all, even if his father punished his elder brother later, it would not attract much attention.
Huo Zhengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and even Fang Yun, who had always been his good wife, relaxed as well.
He had been worried that Huo Zhengchuan would realize the relationship between Ye Wangxing and the eldest prince and break up the couple. He had been worried for half a month.
Fortunately, when the third game started, Huo Zhengchuan actually took the initiative to apply to be a commentator and did not give Ye Wangxing any other special treatment, which made Fang Yun feel relieved.
However, Fang Yun soon realized that he had relaxed too early.
Looking at His Majesty, who was sitting on the judges' bench looking at Ye Wangxing with a scrutinizing expression, and looking at the eldest prince sitting stiffly beside him with a meaningful look, Fang Yun screamed in his heart.
——It’s obvious that this person is here to break up a couple.
Huo Zhengchuan also thought of this, and there was a hint of joy in his expression, but...
Huo Zhengchuan looked his father up and down, and felt that something was not right.
It wasn't until Huo Zhengchuan discovered that the burgundy shirt and black suit his father was wearing seemed a little small at the chest and was too tight on his body.
Even the muscle lines of the chest are clearly outlined.
Huo Zhengchuan then realized something.
"Dad, aren't you wearing something a bit too flashy today?"
