Collapse: Black Moonlight Turns White, Popular Four-Star Character

Xianzhou Alliance Smelting Competition.

The ancient competition of Xianzhou is inherited. The smelting talents of several major Xianzhous gather together and become the goal of the younger generation.

The winners will all be forging masters who have left their names in history. They will receive instruction and guidance from General Huaiyan of the Ming Dynasty, becoming masters of their generation and having the opportunity to be remembered in history as "Bai Ye".

Yu Yanjun was the champion of the last Xianzhou Alliance Smelting Competition, but he did not achieve the "Hundred Smeltings" achievement.

"Xianzhou Alliance Smelting Competition." Ying Xing took a few deep breaths, and a sense of yearning arose in his heart.

Yu Yanjun is a genius, and he wants to surpass this genius.

He even... wanted to touch the unreachable "Bai Ye".

But for now, let’s just keep our feet on the ground and become a student.

Ying Xing put away his fantasy. He was now having trouble even making ends meet, and he didn't have the conditions to install a forging room at home.

But if you want to apply for the forging room, you must contact the senior brother.

"It's a bit awkward." Ying Xing put his hands in his pockets, his purple eyes drooped, and he felt conflicted inside.

"I have full control over the forging room, so I'm not afraid that Ying Xing won't come looking for me. That's great, because I don't have to look for opportunities to contact Ying Xing."

"Ying Xing, come find me soon. I'm really looking forward to it."

The eldest brother's joyful voice echoed in his ears. Ying Xing looked shy and stole a glance at Yannian in front of him. He found that the eldest brother's mouth corners were rarely raised.

Although she has an ordinary appearance, her smile is extremely gentle, like a spring breeze.

It even gives people the illusion that she should be very good-looking.

"Heh." Yannian found Yingxing looking at him, frowned and put on a disdainful expression.

Ying Xing was stunned, looked away awkwardly, and remained silent.

After class, Yannian took Tao Ran's keys and was in a good mood.

The opportunity has come, and he is just waiting for Ying Xing to take the bait. He must seize the opportunity and give Ying Xing some warmth, the warmth of the Yannian brand, which is praised by everyone who has enjoyed it.

There is no need to worry that Ying Xing will not come, because forging is not only about drawing good blueprints, but also about making precise parts.

What's more, the promotion assessment three months later will require actual products.

In the following week, classes continued as usual, and Yannian's design drawings still surpassed Yingxing. In the forging class, Yannian's finished products were of the best quality, and Yingxing was far behind in this respect.

Although he has good theoretical knowledge, Ying Xing clearly lacks practical experience.

Why don't you come to me?

For several days, Yannian looked at Yingxing in confusion. This kid dared to attack him and scold him. He didn't seem to be afraid of him at all and could actually hold back.

Aren’t you worried about the final product of the assessment?

Yannian scratched his head. This target's mind was completely unpredictable. Could anyone tell him what Ying Xing was thinking right now?

Yannian looked straight at Yingxing. Yingxing raised his eyes, then quickly looked away, shrank into the corner, and said nothing.

"Ying Xing, I'm even more anxious than you. Come and apply to me quickly. I've already cleaned up the forging room for you and prepared the materials, and I'm waiting for you to show your skills."

"You should come find me today. Don't run away as soon as get out of class is over. It makes me sad."

"I also experienced what it means to wait impatiently."

Ying Xing lay on the table, feeling like there was a mini version of his senior brother pulling his little ear resentfully, asking him why he hadn't gone to the forge to hone his hands-on skills.

"Stop talking." Ying Xing covered his ears, feeling embarrassed.

The eldest brother's words were too blatant, like he would watch over you and wait for you every day.

This made the honest man feel that it was nine out of ten abnormal.

No matter how many times he heard it, it was really hard to connect the arrogant voice with the vicious look of the senior brother. Ying Xing was drawing the blueprint, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

However, if he wanted to improve his forging skills in a real way, he had to apply for a forging room, which was what Teacher Tao Ran had arranged.

The relationship between the two reached a stalemate.

Yannian tried to use ridicule to awaken Yingxing's inner desire, and from time to time he would say, "You are not as good as me in theory, and your practical skills are also a mess. Yingxing, you can stop here."

"Heh—that's right. With your short lifespan, what's the point of practicing?"

However, these ironic words did not cause Ying Xing to react at all, and the boy still went to and from school on time.

Yannian once again doubted his cat life.

It was another ordinary evening. Yannian was carrying his bag and waiting for his grilled fish and other food at the stall.

"Do you want chili?" the stall owner turned the fish over and said in a loud voice.

"Just a little bit will do, slightly spicy." Yannian took out a slightly deflated bag, took out a little Xundi from it and handed it to the stall owner.

Last time, Tao Ran said he would give Ying Xing a subsidy, but in fact it was Huai Yan who paid for it out of his own pocket, and Yan Nian also contributed some money.

"Big, senior brother."

A faint voice passed by his ears. Yannian tilted his head. Ying Xing, with messy white hair and holding a schoolbag, looked at him timidly with evasive eyes.

"Why, have you figured it out?"

"It's a waste of your already short life to come here and enjoy yourself." Yannian turned back coldly, took the grilled fish, ignored Ying Xing, and turned away with disdain.

"Wait a minute." Ying Xing stepped forward quickly and reached out to grab the corner of Yannian's clothes.

"Who allowed you to touch me?"

"Start acting, be a little fierce, pretend to be annoying."

Yannian slapped Yingxing's hand away, but the force was moderate and did not cause any harm to Yingxing.

Ying Xing also noticed this, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Just when Yannian thought that Yingxing's next sentence should be to borrow the use of the forging room from him, Yingxing said something incomprehensible that left Yannian stunned.

"Big Brother, you, you look very pretty when you smile."

As he said this, Ying Xing lowered his head and held his breath.

Until an explosive echo appeared in my ears.

"Why are you saying this suddenly? What do you mean? I look good when I smile. When have I ever smiled at you, Ying Xing?"

"That doesn't make sense. How should I respond? Hurry up and lend me the key. I deliberately come home late every day, always waiting for you."

After hearing these words, Ying Xing lowered his head a little more, and for some reason he felt happy in his heart.

This is really the voice of the eldest brother.

He has always been a lonely person, discriminated against by everyone, and inevitably has low self-esteem.

He was afraid of others approaching him suddenly and of causing trouble to others, but even so, he still wanted to be recognized and longed to be illuminated by the fire.

Could it be that the bullying he did before was actually the eldest brother's way of training his ability to withstand pressure, and the vicious words were actually a disguised way of motivating him to study.

Ying Xing put his hands in his pockets and began to think wildly.

"You think that if you compliment me, I will look at you differently? You are just superficially judging people by appearance."

"So boring." Yannian snorted, raised his chin high, and looked at him with contempt.

After taking a bite of the grilled fish, the spicy taste instantly filled his entire mouth and went straight to his heart. Yannian was choked suddenly and bent over to cough. This was just slightly spicy, it was simply abnormally spicy.

"Big Brother!" Ying Xing stepped forward to support Yannian, his tone worried.

Yannian's face flushed red as he struggled to utter a single word, "Water."

"Here." Ying Xing handed over a cup obediently. Yannian drank it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did the bamboo cup come from?" Yannian looked at the cup in his hand with a puzzled look. There was no store selling this around.

"The water monster is sweet and delicious."

Ying Xing's face turned red as she stammered, "I made it myself."

"what!"

"Disgusting! I actually used something from a short-lived species. Stay away from me." Yannian stuffed the cup into Yingxing's arms in disgust, wiped his lips in disgust, and retched a few times.

[Ying Xing's favorability +1.]

The system prompt sounded, and a question mark appeared on Yannian's forehead.

It's true that the more he despises Ying Xing, the higher his favorability towards him increases.

Could it be that Ying Xing was really trembling? Was he enjoying being scolded by him?

"Senior Brother, if you like, I can bring you a cup every day." Ying Xing smiled and half raised his eyes to look at Yannian.

"When did I say it was delicious? Ying Xing, have you been too tired from drawing lately and your brain is confused? I'm mocking you, shouldn't you be angry?"

"Well, as far as the results are concerned, it's still good."

Yannian complained in his heart, and Yingxing became even happier after hearing it. Is the senior brother concerned about whether he is tired of drawing?

What is the “result”?

Sure enough, there are still some words that I don’t understand.

"It's just low-quality water, don't bother me." Yannian snorted coldly and turned to leave. Ying Xing hurriedly came to his side.

"Big Brother, I would like to apply for the right to use the forging room."

"What kind of forging room is suitable for short-lived species?"

Ying Xing was silent, following Yannian like a little tail, with an attitude of "if you don't give it to me, I will pester you."

They have been hoping that I would apply, but now they are verbally telling me that they will not give it to me.

It seems that the eldest senior brother is the type who responds to soft words but not to hard ones, Ying Xing guessed in his heart.

After a while, Yannian laughed sarcastically and threw the key to Yingxing, "You really don't know your place. Well, I want to see what you can forge."

"Waste is waste. What miracle can a tiny bit of time create—"

"Thank you, senior brother. I will definitely not let you down." Before Yannian could finish his words, Ying Xing's eyes lit up and he ran away with the key.

Although it was his first attempt, he seemed to have found the trick to getting along with his senior brother - he started to go into clingy mode.

Later, there will definitely be a chance to reveal all the hidden faces of the eldest brother.

Now, he just held a glimmer of faith - believing that the eldest brother was a good person.

Yannian: “…”

[Ying Xing's favorability +1.]

He was obviously being sarcastic. What expectations? Expectations to get worse?

Is it true that Ying Xing has water in his brain and hasn’t recovered yet?

is that OK.
