Chapter 313: 254 You guys must be kissing!
Just as the hosts were passionately building up excitement for the soapbox derby design competition, Fang You and his three companions were busy making the final preparations for their Bee-class sentinel battle machine.
Fang You had already put on his one-piece combat suit.
Under Xia Nuo's conceptual design, the pattern of the suit took inspiration from EVA's clothing design, tending more towards a streamlined shape, and it even included flowing light designs along the body lines, giving off a decidedly sci-fi feel.
However, due to regulations on helmet specifications, wearing it made one's head appear a bit bulky.
Of course, this was not an issue when sitting in the vehicle, so it was not something that needed special attention.
The only thing to care about was that Fang You was wearing such attire for the first time and felt the discomfort of tightness in the crotch.
Moving around was fine, but standing still made it quite obvious.
All because he was too "talented" and "endowed"!
But there was no helping it—those who wish to wear the crown must bear its weight. As long as he didn't make any sudden movements, it would be fine.
Just endure it for a while...
Clad in the custom outfit designed by Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu, Fang You walked out of the changing room with his helmet under his arm and entered the waiting area.
In the waiting area, the stylishly dressed Fang You drew the attention of many.
Since many had either made their outfits by hand or found cheap workmanship, unlike Fang You's self-designed and branded ensemble, everyone was captivated by his cool attire.
"Wow, look at that, his outfit is so cool."
"Holy cow, are they taking this competition so seriously? Compared to them, we look like rotten fish and shrimp!"
"I could probably still quit the competition in time..."
Professional expertise, a seven-figure allowance, a mind of exceptional intelligence, a physique unparalleled, and a charm that captivated all—was there any elementary schooler in the world more like a winner in life than Emperor Youyou?
Actually, there was. His own elementary schooler's professional level was only at lv7. The system pointed out a deficiency in being "not happy enough," which is why he wasn't as high-leveled in his profession as Nuo Nuo.
But that was normal.
Being too smart and sensible could sometimes be a burden.
For an elementary schooler, having a happy attitude should occupy a significant portion of their profession.
Just then, a slightly plump, crew-cut, bespectacled man with dark skin approached with a smile:
"Hey, bro, who did you get to custom-make this outfit? I really like it. Can I add you as an 'Ayi' friend to chat?"
[He Qiang sees that you have quite some charm and wants to take you to his place to show you some cool things he has, Emotional Energy +100]
Fang You calmly declined after seeing the system message, "Sorry, it's inconvenient."
"Aw, come on, just add me, there's no harm... Big brother has a big house with lots of super cool games."
"I'm still in elementary school, I don't have a cell phone."
Fang You shook his head, "So I can't add you."
[He Qiang is shocked. Is there really an elementary schooler as tall as one meter seventy? Emotional Energy +100]
His own under-14 years of age supreme version apparently intimidated the other, and the bespectacled plump man suddenly lost interest, touched his nose, and left in a dejected manner.
Thanks to the "Mind Catcher" ability, Emperor Youyou could always sense when people in this world harbored ill intentions towards him. With such exposure to potential treachery, it was indeed difficult for him to remain as perpetually happy as Nuo Nuo.
At this moment, Xia Nuo and the other girls also came out from the direction of the female changing room.
Nuo Nuo wore a combat suit similar to Fang You's good friend design, except the color scheme and red flowing lights were different. It fitted her perfectly, neither too loose nor uncomfortably tight, displaying a just-right appeal that was impressively cool.
Meanwhile, Meng Qing and Luo Xianyu were wearing uniforms that resembled navy attire, adorned with tassels on the epaulettes and sashes, giving Ayu a mischievous and cute look, yet somewhat more valiant.
Surprisingly, it was Meng Qing who drew attention. Originally, with her authoritative professional demeanor, playing such a cool and aloof character should have been a breeze for her, yet now she seemed to exude a shy girlishness, covering her chest with her hands and pursing her lips, walking tentatively, as if she was enduring and worried about something.
While her busting-at-the-seams appearance was pleasing to the eye, it was clear that there was a problem.
"What's wrong? You've been fussing for a while," Fang You approached and asked about the situation.
Meng Qing explained, "My uniform seems to be a size too small. Everyone had a hard time getting the buttons done up."
"There won't be any issues with the design Ayu made! I am my mother's daughter after all."
Luo Xianyu forgot to mention to Meng Qing that her mother was a renowned fashion designer, so the statement sounded rather pointless.
"It must be because you've developed more recently!" Luo Xianyu never blamed herself, the problem was always with others.
"I'm already 25 years old, I won't grow anymore..."
"Then you must have gained weight, haven't you been slacking off in your practices recently?" Xia Nuo chimed in suddenly.
"Ah, there might actually be some truth to that..."

Meng Qing was pondering over the afternoon tea desserts she had secretly indulged in the previous week.
At this moment, Xia Nuo suddenly leaned in, looking Fang You over from left to right.
"You You, you put on this outfit by yourself, let me help you check if everything is worn properly, the zippers need to be all the way up."
"There's nothing to check, I'm fine."
"Hey, don't move about like that!"
Xia Nuo held Fang You's shoulders, "Be good, don't fidget. Why are you so stubborn? Let me check properly."
"..."
There were multiple zippers on this combat suit, and truly, some spots were not easy to zip up completely by oneself.
But Emperor Youyou was a man with strong talents such as flexible muscles and supple bones; of course, there would be no overlooked areas, unless it made him uncomfortable.
Zip——
"Tighten!"
"..."
The sensation of it being too snug in the crotch was even more noticeable!
Emperor Youyou's proximity to his combat suit made Fang You feel uncomfortable, but he didn't feel right pointing it out directly, and standing like this would
"Aiyah, I told you to stay still, be obedient, well-behaved—"
"You You, do you also feel like it's a size too small? Hmm... Ah!"
Meng Qing was startled by her mentor's grandeur, and when Fang You received a system message and those captivating eyes gazed over, she suddenly turned her head away, blushing with embarrassment.
At this point, Luo Xianyu was still unaware of the problem the two had noticed, rather feeling a bit self-doubting:
"What's going on? Could it be that my designs are all a size too small?"
While Xia Nuo and Fang You were struggling face to face, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Fang You:
"Humph! I knew I'd finally get the chance to catch you in the act! You must be kissing right now!"
"Whoa, it's the captain!" Luo Xianyu exclaimed in surprise.
