Chapter 102: Chouchouyu's Determined Efforts to Enhance Breasts
Before returning home, Tang Yi first visited the bank to cash the check and deposit the funds. In total, thirty thousand yuan was collected, which he and Larulas would each receive half of.
By this point, the second round of the selection competition had officially concluded.
The third round, also the final official match, would take place in half a month. The venue would no longer be the small city of Qingjiang.
At that time, thirty-two qualifiers from various cities would travel to the provincial capital of Yuan Shui to participate in the final selection competition.
A short while after the competition ended, Tang Yi’s familiar friends gradually learned of the news and sent congratulatory messages one after another.
Vice Principal Wang extended his congratulations while also informing Tang Yi of good news. The school leaders had carefully considered the list he had prepared and ultimately approved it, with an additional ten thousand yuan to be provided.
Obviously, concerns had lingered before the group finals, fearing that Tang Yi might be viewed as a soft touch and deliberately delaying matters. But now that he had advanced, the situation had changed.
From Tang Yi’s knowledge, no one from the school had reached the final official match for three years. It was rare for one of their own to make it this far, so this support was no longer a concern.
Tang Yi expressed his heartfelt thanks to Vice Principal Wang. With this scholarship and nutritional supplements, the next half month would allow Larulas’s foundational physical abilities to improve significantly.
The day after the competition, Tang Yi unexpectedly took a full day off, wanting to relax properly for himself and for Larulas.
Tang Yi said to Larulas, “Lately I know you’ve been very tired, so why don’t we find a place to play today?”
Larulas pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “How about going to the welfare institute, is that okay?”
“Uh, do you want to see your Sister Ba Da Hu or your Ugly Fish?”
Larulas tilted her head. “Both, please!”
“Certainly.”
Tang Yi had initially planned to visit the welfare institute the following weekend. He also wanted to face Ba Da Hu directly to express his gratitude. Since Larulas was so eager, they could go today.
He sent a WeChat to Fang Tianze, telling them they would arrive at the welfare institute in about an hour and a half. They skipped the bus, which required transfers and was slow, and took a taxi directly.
With the bonus money in hand, they had money and were feeling generous!
Fang Tianze’s reply remained as slow as always. When Tang Yi was about to get off the car, an hour and a half later, Fang Tianze’s message arrived just in time.
Fang Tianze: Still the same old park. Once you get there, just come over.
Simple and direct—that was Fang Tianze’s style.
At the entrance, Tang Yi completed all the procedures and identity registrations, then led Larulas to the small garden within the welfare institute. Larulas looked around curiously, and before Tang Yi she spotted the group of people gathered.
Fang Tianze and his several elf girls were sitting around an outdoor leisure table. Ugly Fish was absent, but there was one additional person Tang Yi had not expected: Officer Wang and her Cattie dog girl.
“Officer Wang, I didn’t expect to see you here as well,” Tang Yi greeted the group.
“Don’t always call me Officer Wang. I’m not here on official business today. By the way, my name is Wang Wan; call me by my name in private.”
Wang Wan waved her hand, somewhat displeased with the title.
“Um, Sister Wang, are you here to see Ugly Fish today?” Tang Yi glanced around but didn’t see her.
The six-tailed girl shook her orange tail. “Ugly Fish is in the gym exercising her body. Lately she’s been very active. If not for Sister Ba Da Hu worrying that she’d overtrain and damage her body, she’d probably exercise from morning until night.”
“Exercising is good, better than staying cooped up indoors. But how did she suddenly become so enthusiastic?” Tang Yi remembered that last time Ugly Fish had been sullen, not like an active exerciser.
The Ibuya girl giggled nonstop. “Ugly Fish may not say it, but we can pretty much guess—she wants to secretly enhance her chest…”
“Ouch, Six-tailed Sister, you hit me with your tail again!”
Among the people present, except for Fang Tianze and Tang Yi, all were female. Speaking this topic openly made even Wang Wan show an awkward expression.
Then everyone’s gaze focused on Tang Yi.
Tang Yi, who had only wanted to quietly listen to the big shots chat, suddenly became flustered. “What are you looking at me for? I don’t know she wants to enhance her chest.”
Ba Da Hu shook her head and changed the subject. “Anyway, it’s a good thing. She hasn’t smiled in a while, and if distracted again it might not be good. Having something to focus on would be better. Little Tang, you’ve hit the jackpot accidentally. Well done.”
Although this sounded like praise, the look in your eyes while watching… what did it mean?
Tang Yi scratched his head and decided to accept it gracefully. “Yes, Sister Ba Da Hu, no need to thank me. Helping others is a virtue, and what I should do.”
Everyone was surprised by Tang Yi’s thick skin.
Wang Wan coughed lightly, took out some materials, and handed them to Tang Yi. “Since you’re here, take a look.”
Tang Yi took it. It was just a thin sheet of paper, a printed matchup list. He was familiar with it—it was the list of all qualifiers from the province for the third round official match.
The finals yesterday were held simultaneously across the province. After the competition, the list of the thirty-two finalists was quickly publicized on the Ministry of Education’s official website.
He had seen the list earlier. There wasn’t much to it; he didn’t recognize any of the names. Collecting intelligence so early was too soon.
“Sister Wang, do you want to help me collect information on my opponents?” Tang Yi intended to joke, but seeing Wang Wan’s serious expression, he knew she wasn’t here for small talk.
He frowned, and thinking about Ugly Fish, his expression became strange. When he looked up again, the joking look was gone.
“You don’t mean to say that the fool who forced Ugly Fish to run away from home is also in this thirty-two person qualifier list, right!”
No one spoke. Even Fang Tianze showed a disgusted expression.
Tang Yi knew he had guessed right. “Okay, tell me, who is it?”
“Su Chengtao is the one. This person.” Wang Wan pointed to the name below Yuan Shui City’s qualifier. Since she was responsible for this, there was no mistake.
Tang Yi asked, “I have one more doubt. It shouldn’t be long since Ugly Fish ran away from home, right? So, could he immediately adopt a new elf after Ugly Fish left? Even if he could, could he cultivate it in such a short time?”
Wang Wan sighed. “There are no perfect rules; there will always be people who find loopholes.”
She didn’t want to explain too much of the dark side to this young man, but in a few words Tang Yi roughly understood.
After the trainer’s elf was confirmed lost due to irresistible reasons, they could reapply for adoption. Theoretically, this required a somewhat lengthy process.
But if there were special circumstances, such as the trainer urgently needing to take the important college entrance exam, it could be considered leniently.
As for adoption, it didn’t necessarily mean adopting a newly hatched elf; adopting an elf girl who had already been trained to be very powerful was entirely possible.
