183: Limited edition Nezha and Ao Bing figurines

Su Yu didn't have to wait long. A few minutes later, Little Brother's Kuaishou avatar suddenly lit up, followed by a string of "The other party is typing new content" appearing at the top of the chat box.

He replied so quickly?

Su Yu was surprised. He had originally thought it would take a few days to receive a reply to his message today, but he didn't expect the other party's response to be so fast.

"Streamer?! Is that really you?!!!"

A series of exclamation marks first popped up in Little Brother's chat box, followed by a sentence.

Evidently, he found it hard to believe that Su Yu would reply to his private message, even asking a probing question.

Su Yu smiled slightly and replied jokingly,

"That's right, it's me."

"What? Do you want me to send you a selfie?"

Little Brother's reply came again.

"Hahahahaha, Streamer, I just thought I'd try to contact you! I didn't expect you to actually reply to private messages."

"Streamer! You were so cool fighting one against three with an air umbrella at the bank the other day!!!"

The smile on Su Yu's face grew more pronounced.

He didn't expect Little Brother to be so good at talking now. He liked it! He loved to hear it! Say more!

"By the way, looking at your profile information, you're 11 this year?"

"Did you make all those handmade figurines/model kits yourself?"

Little Brother's tone carried a hint of pride, a mix of surprise and happiness at being praised by his idol.

"Yes, yes! I love all kinds of anime characters."

"So, whenever I see a figurine/model kit I like, I figure out how to assemble it using various tools."

Su Yu nodded, bringing the conversation back to the main topic.

"You said your birthday is in a few days."

"As my loyal fan, besides my birthday wishes, I can also give you a small extra gift."

"Since you like figurine/model kits, how about I make you a custom-made figurine/model kit?"

"What character do you like?"

On the other end of the chat box, after seeing these sentences, Little Brother's eyes widened in disbelief.

Oh my goodness! What good luck had he stumbled upon!

Not only would he receive his idol's blessing for his birthday, but he would also get a doll figurine/model kit handmade by his idol.

Little Brother was so excited he almost dropped his phone.

In Chuan City, Shudu, Tian'an Community.

A little boy, who looked about ten years old, was holding a phone and giggling foolishly among a group of Little bros.

"Shen Chuya, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"It's just that your figurine/model kit is a pirated model. We're not wrong. What's the point of a figurine/model kit being exquisite and good-looking? You should know that there's no such model on the market right now!"

"This is clearly a pirated fake!"

"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why pretend to be rich?"

Next to him, a rich second-generation child, who looked like he came from a very wealthy family, pointed at Shen Chuya arrogantly, a mocking expression on his face.

His family was very rich; his father was a contractor. Naturally, among this group of children, he became the undisputed child king!

Whenever his parents bought him a toy, he would show it off to his friends.

He enjoyed being the center of attention, being called 'Big Brother' by his companions.

But every time this guy named Shen Chuya showed up, he would steal his thunder, which made him very unhappy!

"Exactly, Brother Man is right!"

"The Nezha and Ao Bing figurine/model kits only have these two versions on the official website, and their appearance is exactly the same as the one in Brother Man's hand!"

"Shen Chuya, where did you get those two pirated items? Hahahahaha, don't tell me you made them yourself again? Did you make them out of mud again? Hahahahaha!!!"

"What's the use of being able to make them? If you try to sell them, even second-hand dealers won't want them."

The Little bros surrounding Cao Guangman chimed in, their faces showing mockery.

Shen Chuya ignored those peers who were joining in the taunts, merely raising the phone in his hand and responding, unwilling to be outdone.

"Hmph! So what if they're authentic Nezha and Ao Bing figurine/model kits? In a few days, I'll get an even cooler figurine/model kit than these two!"

"My favorite Streamer brother just promised to give me a birthday gift. The figurine/model kit he makes himself is much cooler than what's sold on the market!"

Cao Guangman sneered and spat.

"That's hilarious! Another self-made figurine/model kit!"

"Shen Chuya, this person you're talking about wouldn't happen to be your dad, would he! Hahahaha, like father, like son, indeed."

"What, are the figurine/model kits your dad makes worth more than my Nezha and Ao Bing?"

"Do you know how much I spent on these two limited edition figurine/model kits? Ten thousand yuan! Can you afford that?!"

Nearby, the other children surrounding Cao Guangman heard this, and one by one their mouths hung open, their eyes gleaming with envy.

Recently, with the release of the Nezha movie, these two character IPs have become incredibly popular everywhere, loved by adults and children alike. Limited edition, officially licensed figurine/model kits have even been hyped to the point of being priceless and unavailable.

A total of 2000 sets were issued nationwide!

And the one Cao Guangman was holding was one of them.

This was something he planned to show off at the extracurricular activity—the parent-child toy exhibition—held at school on Friday.

"Shen Chuya, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't bring pirated toy figurine/model kits to display on Friday!"

"Hahahahaha, exactly, exactly. How can you even have the nerve to bring out pirated stuff? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone else?"

"No money, but still want to show off like Brother Man! Don't even know your own place."

"Brother Man, later, can you let us take a closer look at the Nezha figurine/model kit again? Nezha's transformed state is just too cool!"

Cao Guangman nodded smugly.

His friends were on his side, making him very happy.

He waved his small hand and said,

"No problem! You can take them and look. Just be careful not to break them."

"Don't worry, Brother Man, we'll definitely be careful!"

"Exactly, Brother Man isn't stingy like some people, who aren't even willing to let others look. It's clearly a pirated item, yet they treat it like a treasure."

"They even say the paint isn't dry yet. It's clearly an excuse not to let us see it! If it's not dry, then how are you holding it yourself?!"

"Who cares!"
